Yun Zhaoling and Qiu Shaochan turned around and went back to bed. After Hua Ling closed the door, she heard Yun Zhaoling say in puzzlement,"With Immortal Ye's ability, I'm afraid Ye Xiaoyu and Fu Moran would have known the moment they made a move. Why did they appear so late?”"You don't allow people to be in a hurry, do you?" Qiu Shaochan said.”Yun Zhaoling was speechless, but Qiu Shaochan said,"I think that Ye Xiaojian is also holding back her anger, so she let Ye Xiaoyu do this.”Was that so? Yun Zhaoling didn't think so.
Ye Xiaoyu came to an open space before withdrawing his celestial spiritual energy. He stopped and turned around to look at Ye Xiaojian. Ye Xiaojian stopped in front of Ye Xiaoyu and raised her hand to set up a barrier. "Didn't you tell me not to provoke Fu Moran?" Ye Xiaoyu asked curiously. Why did you ask me to provoke him just now?”
Ye Xiaojian said thoughtfully," I always feel that Fu Moran became a Shangxian in just 500 years. I'm afraid it's not that simple."”Ye Xiaoyu nodded." I think so too. In terms of foundation and intelligence, how can he compare to you, Big Brother? But didn't Big Brother also spend nearly 800 years to become a Shangxian? Then what did you see just now?”
Ye Xiaojian shook her head." There's nothing suspicious about his immortal energy.”"My immortal energy is inferior to his, so what can I see?" Ye Xiaoyu said. It would be better for Big Brother to test him personally.”"Otherwise." Ye Xiaojian said," His immortal energy is on par with mine. I can't see anything." However, when he competed with you, he had to be wary of your identity, so he gave in a lot. At this time, it was even more obvious. Looking at it now, there really didn't seem to be anything suspicious.”
"Why don't…I try him again?" Ye Xiaoyu asked.”"No." "You are not allowed to have any more conflicts with him," Ye Xiaojian said. Right now, the matter of West Luo Mountain was more important, so he didn't want to cause any more trouble.”Ye Xiaoyu reluctantly replied," Yes, Big Brother."”Ye Xiaoyu immediately said worriedly,""I wonder how Xiao Lin is doing.”
Ye Xiaojian said," Little Sister has feelings for Chang You. I've also tested Chang You." He also liked his little sister very much. Otherwise, he would not have begged his parents back then. Now that I've given him a few pointers, he should know what to do. When we return from Xiluo Mountain, we'll go to Long Distance City and take a look.”Ye Xiaoyu sighed." But he's still a mortal.”
"What's wrong with mortals?" Ye Xiaojian asked. Didn't our ancestors also cultivate from mortals to immortals? As long as he truly cares about my little sister, I'm willing to give him some celestial spiritual energy.”"Don't spoil him too much. Let him practice by himself."”Ye Xiaojian dispersed the boundary." Go back."”
"What's going on at Xiluo Mountain?”The next day, Yun Zhaoling inadvertently thought of this question again. She didn't get a result the last time. She glanced at Liu Yanxing, who looked down and seemed to be thinking about something. Fu Moran replied,"Recently, there have been many spies from the demon world near Xiluo Mountain."”"That's it?" Yun Zhaoling asked.
"Naturally, it's not just that." " Half a year ago," Ye Xiaojian said," the previous Palace Master of the Sea Treasury Palace's Hall of No Return, Wen Miao, personally went to Xiluo Mountain. It was said that many of the disciples in the hall had disappeared near Xiluo Mountain. It was suspected that it was the work of the immortals of Xiluo Mountain. However, following the chaos in the Sea Treasury Palace and Wen Miao's death in the chaos, the matter was left unsettled.”
"But just three months ago, my father…received an anonymous tip. It was said that he had accidentally discovered a large number of demon corpses near West Luo Mountain. Moreover, these demon corpses had their spirit pills stolen and their demon blood sucked dry.”Ye Xiaojian said," My father thinks that this matter is of great importance. Before the matter was confirmed, they could not spread it. Therefore, not many people knew about it, be it when they returned to the city or Lianghu Mountain.”
As she spoke, Ye Xiaojian looked at Fu Moran. Fu Moran said,""Brother Ye is worrying too much. I am now the vice palace lord of the Stepping Slaughter Palace, so naturally I will listen to palace lord Yun. Since we came secretly this time, of course, we can't act in public. Before the matter is investigated, I will not hand this matter over to Tianhui City or North City.”
Qiu Shaochan shuddered and said," He's so cold-blooded. Not only did he take the spirit pill, but he also sucked her blood dry. What kind of demon is he? He's so powerful."”"If it's just one person, then I'm afraid he's already very powerful."”
Ye Xiaojian said," There should be more than one person. Be it immortals or demons, once they feel that their lives are threatened, they would rather destroy the spiritual pills and both sides would suffer. They would not sit still and let others take advantage of them. Moreover, how could a single person in the world be able to hold so many spiritual pills?”
"Everyone's cultivation is different, and the environment they experience is also different. Even if they forcefully seize it, it might not be beneficial to them. If one was not careful, one could go crazy at any time. Such examples were not unheard of in the past. Otherwise, for a long time, wouldn't there be a lot of demons who would casually steal people's spiritual pills?”
But…since it was found near West Luo Mountain, shouldn't the person who found it report it to the people of West Luo Mountain first? Why did he report it to the Ye family? Yun Zhaoling glanced at Liu Yanxing but didn't say it out loud. "Since it involves West Luo Mountain, and West Luo Mountain is now under the jurisdiction of West City, do I have to avoid it?" Liu Yanxing suddenly asked.”
"What are you dodging for!" "We're here under Palace Master Yun's orders. If Palace Master Yun wants you to avoid her, then we naturally have nothing to say." Qiu Shaochan suddenly said coldly. But you're already here, why are you still saying such taboo words! If anyone doesn't like it, just go your separate ways. The matter hadn't even taken shape yet, and they had already started to attack this and that!”
"Qiu Shaochan, how can you say that?" "Who said we're going to blast him?" Ye Xiaoyu was also annoyed. Who said it!" "Alright." Ye Xiaojian shouted at Ye Xiaoyu and looked at Qiu Shaochan.""I know that Miss Qiu is straightforward, but we definitely don't have any other intentions. I don't know why that person sent a secret report to our Ye Clan, or perhaps the people of Xiluo Mountain are currently investigating this matter.”
Ye Xiaojian looked at Liu Yanxing again." Young Master Liu, you don't have to think too much. Since Palace Master Yun sent you here, she trusts you absolutely. Xiaoyu and I naturally wouldn't have any suspicions.”Liu Yanxing bowed to Ye Xiaojian." I'm the one who's measuring a gentleman's belly with my petty heart."”
"Young masters." Shi Huan's voice rang out from outside the carriage." Xiluo Town is up ahead. Do you want to stop for a while?”"Let's find an inconspicuous place to stop," Fu Moran said.”Shi Huan agreed, and the carriage slowed down.
Fu Moran looked at Ye Xiaojian." Brother Ye, since this matter is of great importance, we should discuss it in advance. Should he go up the mountain openly or secretly? Even if he left, should he do it in the name of public or private justice?”Ye Xiaojian said," Young Master Fu has considered everything. I think that before this matter is clear, we shouldn't publicize it."”Ye Xiaojian looked at Liu Yanxing again." I think…we should go up the mountain in the name of Young Master Liu."”
Thus, they would investigate in secret. Fu Moran looked at Liu Yanxing." You've never liked to get involved in West City's matters. Do you need an excuse this time?"”Liu Yanxing lowered his eyes." There's no need. Let's go up. My father's men will definitely be alerted." However, it will take some time for him to come. We are just fighting for these days. If he comes, we will walk in the light. With Palace Master Yun's order, he wouldn't dare to go too far.”
It seemed like they were suspecting the people from Xiluo Mountain? Yun Zhaoling looked at Liu Yanxing. He really didn't expect Liu Yanxing and City Lord Xi to be at such a stage. He was actually willing to help an outsider investigate the matter in the mountains. Fu Moran looked at Ye Xiaojian." Brother Ye, what do you think?”Ye Xiaojian nodded." Let's do as Young Master Liu says."”"Shihuan, go straight to Xiluo Mountain," Yun Zhaoling said to the outside.”"Yes."
The carriage sped all the way to the foot of Xiluo Mountain. It was already dark. The few of them got off the carriage and saw a group of people holding torches surrounding them. One of them shouted,"Who are you? Xiluo Mountain is a forbidden area of the immortals. No one is allowed to trespass. Leave quickly!”Liu Yanxing threw a token at the man's head and said coldly,""Let your leader take a look. If even he doesn't recognize me, don't blame me for causing you all to be in a mess today!”
When that person caught the token, he was shocked. After listening to Liu Yanxing's words, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He said," Please wait a moment, Young Master." Then, he flew up the mountain. Yun Zhaoling looked at Liu Yanxing's cold side profile and couldn't help but sigh. A person could really have a thousand faces. He didn't expect Liu Yanxing to be so intimidating.
After a while, a few figures flew over. The person in the lead was dressed in silver clothes and had a red belt on his hair. His facial features were strong and his gaze was cold. He should be a person who did not smile. However, he still forced a smile and bowed to Liu Yanxing.""Subordinate Fu Yuanhao greets Young Master." The people behind him also bowed. Liu Yanxing said,""So it's Immortal Lord Fu. You're really good at controlling your subordinates.”
"Young Master praises me too much!" Fu Yuanhao said,"This subordinate is only following the City Lord's orders."”Liu Yanxing said," There's no need to use my father to pressure me. Whatever I want to do, I don't have to ask him. He can't ask either." Since Steward Fu knew the rules so well, why didn't he greet the others?”Hearing this, Fu Yuanhao raised his head and glanced at the people behind Liu Yanxing. Then, he bowed to them one by one and said,"" Greetings, Young Master Ye, Second Young Master Ye, Young Master Fu, Miss Qiu..." Fu Yuanhao paused and said to Yun Zhaoling,""May I ask Miss's name?"
"Miss Yun is the eldest daughter of Valley Master Yun of Lianghu Mountain," said Liu Yanxing.”Fu Yuanhao's brows slightly narrowed. Yun Xiaoshu's eldest daughter? As far as he knew, Yun Xiaoshu only had two sons. However, Liu Yanxing dared to say this, so there must be something else going on. Even if Liu Yanxing spoke nonsense, he could only accept it. Fu Yuanhao bowed solemnly to Yun Zhaoling." Greetings, Miss Yun."”
Yun Zhaoling returned the greeting." You're welcome."”"We've traveled a long way and want to stay here for a while. Manager Fu, please arrange for us to stay here."”Fu Yuanhao said with some difficulty," The mountain is messy and simple. There is a courtyard built by the City Lord in town. Why don't I lead the young masters there?"”
Liu Yanxing's voice sank." I've said it before. Even my father can't control what I do. Do you think you can stop me today?" When I tell you nicely, you better agree to it. Otherwise, if everyone is unhappy later, you still have to let me in.”
"Young Master, don't be angry!" Suddenly, a burst of laughter could be heard from afar." Steward Fu has always been strict…" As he spoke, a white figure landed in front of everyone and bowed elegantly."This subordinate greets Young Master on behalf of Yu Huang! Greetings, distinguished guests!" Yun Zhaoling focused his eyes and saw a man with silver hair. He was dressed in a white robe, and his facial features were gentle. He had a smile on his face and looked shrewd.
Without waiting for Liu Yanxing to speak, Dai Yuhuang continued,""This subordinate only ordered someone to clean up the courtyard just now. I didn't expect that in such a short time, Steward Fu would also anger Young Master.”Hearing this, Fu Yuanhao looked at Dai Yuhuang in surprise. Dai Yuhuang had already extended her hand and said,""Young Master, this is your first time here, right? There are a few places with excellent scenery in the mountain. If Young Master is free, this subordinate is willing to be your guide and show Young Master and the other honored guests.”
The group of people followed Dai Yuhuang up the mountain. When they passed Fu Yuanhao, Yun Zhaoling couldn't help but glance at him. In his calm eyes, there was an additional layer of unknown meaning, but it disappeared in an instant. Fu Yuanhao turned his head and met Yun Zhaoling's eyes. He probably didn't expect Yun Zhaoling to stare at him like this. He pursed his lips at Yun Zhaoling and lowered his eyes.
Dai Yuhuang led everyone into a separate courtyard, which was located halfway up the mountain. The courtyard was surrounded by pine trees, and there were also a few clusters of green bamboos in the courtyard. Liu Yanxing glanced at the main house and said,"Shaochan, Zhaoling, you two can stay in the main house."”"At least you're tactful," Qiu Shaochan said. Liu Yanxing then turned to Ye Xiaojian." I'm sorry to make a fool of myself in front of you, Immortal Ye. This place is simple and crude. I'm sorry that Immortal Ye has to stay in the East Chamber."”
Dai Yuhuang stood quietly at the side, smiling at the crowd. Even though Liu Yanxing's words were full of thorns, he didn't seem to hear it. Ye Xiao modestly said," Young Master Liu, you don't have to be so polite. You are the host and I am the guest. I will stay with Xiaoyu in the west wing."”Yun Zhaoling pursed his lips. Ye Xiaojian's words were so grounded. There shouldn't be a master living in a room anywhere, right?
"This subordinate knows that Young Master likes peace, so there aren't many servants left in the courtyard."”As they spoke, the two little slaves stepped forward and bowed to the crowd." Servant Zhou Lan.”"This servant looks forward to the court." "Greetings, young masters and young ladies." "The two gatekeepers will be responsible for the safety of the courtyard."”Then, Dai Yuhuang said to Qiu Shaochan,"Miss Qiu, there aren't many women on this mountain. I'll find a servant girl to serve you tomorrow.”
Qiu Shaochan waved her hand." There's no need to go through the trouble of taking care of the matter! Miss Yun and I only need Hua Ling to serve us.”Dai Yuhuang seemed to have only noticed Yun Zhaoling now." Miss Yun?”"Miss Yun is the eldest daughter of the current Palace Master of Busha Gong Yun, the Valley Master of Lianghu Mountain. He had already told Steward Fu about this. Who asked him to delay the matter of taking over for a few hours?”
Even Qiu Shaochan's words were laced with spears and sticks. Dai Yuhuang's expression did not change as she hurriedly bowed to Yun Zhaoling." I've been rude. Please forgive me, Miss Yun."”Yun Zhaoling nodded." You're welcome."”Qiu Shaochan pulled Yun Zhaoling over and walked towards the main house." Let's go, let's go. We've been tormented for so long. We should have rested long ago."”Ye Xiaojian and Ye Xiaoyu walked towards the west wing while Fu Moran, Liu Yanxing, and Shi Huan entered the east wing.
In an instant, only Dai Yuhuang and the two servants were left in the courtyard. Dai Yuhuang maintained the smile on her face and turned to Zhou Lan and Wang Ting.""The two of you must serve the young masters and young ladies well.”Zhou Lan and Wang Ting agreed loudly. Qiu Shaochan immediately threw a cup out." Be quiet!”Zhou Lan and Wang Ting hurriedly went to the main house to apologize, while Dai Yuhuang slowly walked out of the courtyard.
Dai Yuhuang returned to her own residence and saw Fu Yuanhao standing in the courtyard. Seeing him return, Fu Yuanhao couldn't help but turn around and glare,""Dai Yuhuang, what exactly do you want? You know that the wind is tight now, but you still let Young Master and the others in!”Dai Yuhuang's lips twitched." It's just as Young Master said. Can you stop him?”"If we really want to stop them, how can we not?" Fu Yuanhao said.”
Dai Yuhuang looked at Fu Yuanhao and said provocatively,""Do you dare? No matter how much Young Master did not get along with the City Lord, he was still the City Lord's only son. If anything happens to him, will you bear the responsibility?”Dai Yuhuang turned her gaze away." Rather than letting them have so many suspicions and secretly play tricks, it's better to keep them under our noses and monitor them well." After a few days, the City Lord would be able to rush over.”
Fu Yuanhao flicked his sleeves and said,"The matters in the mountains have always been decided by you, the Second Manager. What else can I, the Chief Manager with an undeserved reputation, say?" However, if any trouble were to arise, the Second Manager would have to take responsibility for it himself!”With that, Fu Yuanhao strode out of the courtyard. Dai Yuhuang looked at Fu Yuanhao's receding figure indifferently and turned around to return to the house.
