97 - I Wonder if You Fight, Who Will be Stronger?
After receiving the confession scroll written in blood, Ye Hua no longer bothered with the innkeeper and left the courtyard without even touching the tea prepared for him. Ye Hua was in a hurry to return to Ye Sect before anyone noticed his absence. Of course, the innkeeper did not mind; he was used to dealing with people from the underworld and would not be offended by something so minor.
As soon as he sneaked back into the sect, Ye Hua changed out of the servant clothes he was wearing back into the Ye Sect’s white uniform. He then steadily went towards the banquet as if he had never left in the first place. Luckily, he had the spatial pouch he received from Yin, and thus, he had no trouble keeping the blood scroll safely hidden.
His ice-cold expression thawed t
98 - Young Lady, Your Robes!‘That is not even a question.’How could Yin be defeated by a Foundational Spirit Realm brat?Not even in another lifetime!Even if she were to not take into account the fact that she had a spiritual energy and divine sense on the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, simply using the experiences stored within her soul seed, she had myriads of way to capture and kill peak Martial Realm cultivators, perhaps even newly ascended Earthly Immortals. Even with her low qi cultivation base at the moment, she could truly live by the saying, “Anyone below immortals are ants.”Not wanting to explain about this anymore, Yin redirected the topic. “The stage is free now. You better cha
99 - It is Merely an Accident“Young Lady, please wear this!” one man immediately jumped towards the stage as he removed his outer robe. The man was one of her seniors, the Third Raven.Han Yuanying burst into tears as she grabbed the outer robe closer to her trembling body. “Senior Xiao, wu wu wu…”The five Ravens representing the strongest of the Ravenrise Mercenaries were in an uproar. It was scandalous to have a woman have her clothes torn, especially in public, what more for such a thing to happen to a tender young girl.It was even more scandalous because the victim was the proud daughter of one of the top powerhouses in the city and it happened in the presence of the members of the Imperial Clan. It was akin to slapping the faces
100 - The Banquet Ends so See You Tomorrow?“Xia’er, Little Yin, how is it? Did you two have fun tonight?”As soon as the banquet wrapped up and the important guests from the capital, Qing Chuntao and Zhi Ruo, left the pavilion, the atmosphere between the banquet guests grew more casual. Those whose families and forces were close began chatting leisurely, forming circles of their own.Relieved of her security duties, Wu Xuan’er approached the table where the two young girls were seated.“Aunt!” Wu Pingxia nearly jumped into Wu Xuan’er’s arms in glee. “I miss you! You do not visit me in our Wu residence anymore. Did you see how good I fought earlier? Did you see? Did you? I did well, didn’t I?”
101 - Perhaps We Can Learn Swordsmanship? Several hours ago… Just as the sun was about to set and guests were still arriving for the banquet, ona manor within the Tenth peak where Ye Mo and the people from the Second Lineage were temporarily staying, two youths in white robes could be seen stepping out of the main courtyard and was headed towards the manor gate. Of the two youths, one was a ten year old boy with a thin face, while the other was a younger boy with a tender and delicate frame, looking so small and fragile he could be mistaken for a six or seven year old girl. The older boy looked worried and hesitant, as if he was ready to bolt back into the manor at the slightest sound, while the other one was excitement incarnate, looking like he was about
102 - Normality was Refreshing, To Say the Least “Blockhead Zhang has returned!” “That is Zhang Wei?” “Yes, he is the one from the rumors!” Seeing the fuss among the new outer sect disciples, Qing Wu You turned to confused Ye Zhihao. “Senior brother, you never mentioned that you are very famous!” Ye Zhihao dumbly pointed at himself. “Me? Famous? Why would I be?” He was the bottom ranked among the newly-recruited outer sect disciples, relegated to be a janitor disciple who only do small odd jobs around the sect in order to cultivate. In a world where people could only praise those who had strength, someone like him who was only at the f
103 - Are You Willing to Trust Me? It was late in the night when Yin, Ye Mo and the others had all returned to the Tenth Peak. Even though they were cultivators with strong bodies, everyone was mentally tired after the social events of the day, and had returned to their respective courtyards. Yin requested that she be left alone tonight. Even the maids assigned to serve her had left her courtyard. She was in a complex mood. “It’s snowing…” Winter had already started. Small tufts of white snow were gently falling from the sky, but as the sect grounds were protected by a rune array barrier, the central area where the inner sect was located, as well as the peaks belonging to the elders, could not feel the chill of snow and h
104 - What you can learn will depend on your ability“Are you willing to trust me?”Yin’s question made Ye Mo’s heart pound, and it was as if the wine he had been drinking thoroughly evaporated from his body, making his mind somber and his thoughts crystal clear. He knew that this strange little girl would thoroughly support him with her own equally strange means if he were to say ‘yes’. It was a sincerity that touched him.All these years, his chest had been stuffy, full of grievances at the tragedy suffered by his family, but he was someone who considered the overall situation. As long as he could give justice to his fallen clansmen without harming Ye Sect’s strength, then there was no longer any reason for him to hesitate.After
105 - Suspicion (1)While having her breakfast, Qing Chuntao was initially in a good mood until she received word from her maids that her young cousin would not be able to join her in her morning meal. When she inquired as to why, only then did she find out that after yesterday’s lunch, Qing Wu You did not return to their lodging. In fact, his servant even took his stuff, which meant that his young master would be staying elsewhere long term.What did that mean?Wasn’t it because he chose to be a follower of that little girl of unknown origins?Was Qing Wu You truly going to be staying with her from now on in order to cultivate?After asking the servants, she learned that Qing Wu You was indeed lodging in the reside
