Chapter 28: Fairy Sister
"What advice do you have?" An Bulang blinked and said, "Nothing much, just passing by."
The old Daoist frowned his white eyebrows. "If you were just passing by, why would you use Sorcery to mesmerize the Imperial Guards?"
"They blocked me. If I didn't mesmerize them, how could I get past?" An Bulang replied.
The old Daoist's expression turned solemn. "Then what exactly do you want to do by coming to the Tongtian Tower, fellow Daoist?"
"Nothing much, just passing by." An Bulang said.
Old Daoist: "..."
Can we even have a proper conversation?!
At this moment, An Bulang had already taken another step forward.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay. If you continue to advance, don't blame this old Daoist for..." Before the old Daoist could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly became unfocused, and his face showed the same vacant expression as the Imperial Guards.
An Bulang's footsteps didn't falter. He walked past the old Daoist and entered the Tongtian Tower.
A mere cultivator at the Profound Body Ninth Layer, he couldn't be bothered to waste more words.
At this moment, on the top floor of the Tongtian Tower.
Ji Wuye, dressed in purple crown prince robes, was sitting opposite Qin Shiyue, who had a beautiful and refined appearance, sipping tea.
Beside them, a white-haired old Daoist was fawningly pouring tea.
"Tomorrow is my father king's 60th birthday celebration. All civil and military officials will be present, and all his confidantes will also arrive. At that time, I will ensure that the Azure Kingdom has only one voice. Daoist Ji knows what to do with those who disobey or resist, right?" Ji Wuye said softly as he took a sip of tea.
The old Daoist, Ji Shouqian, who was also the Director of the Imperial Observatory, nodded repeatedly. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, rest assured. Anyone who dares to step forward and offend Your Highness will be struck dead on the spot for angering the heavens, and the coroner will not be able to find the cause."
Ji Wuye nodded in satisfaction and looked at the woman opposite him. "Grand Princess, An Bulang has always been an unpredictable factor. Can you handle him?"
Qin Shiyue lightly grasped her teacup and raised it, smiling slightly. "Don't worry. Cheng Yuzi of the Cloud Sword Sect has allied with Wu Wanyue, the Sect Master of the Incense Burning Sect, and they plan to make a move during the birthday celebration. Furthermore, if An Bulang disrupts the order of the celebration, the people from my Soaring Dragon Empire will act immediately under the pretext of assisting in suppressing the unrest to kill him!"
"What about the people from the Other Shore Pavilion?" Ji Wuye asked again.
Qin Shiyue smiled. "The actions of the Other Shore Pavilion have always been secret. I don't know when they will make their move, but the only thing I can confirm is that the person they sent is definitely not simple, and they are determined to succeed in this operation."
Ji Wuye chuckled upon hearing this. "I am looking forward to seeing his despair and regret just before he dies."
"Wow, what are you guys talking about? You all look so happy."
A voice came from the stairs, followed by unhurried footsteps.
A handsome young man appeared before the three of them, wearing a curious and friendly smile.
"Yo, what a coincidence. It's you guys." An Bulang smiled.
Ji Wuye's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused slightly. Qin Shiyue's small hand trembled even more, and tea spilled from the cup.
"Who are you?!" Ji Shouqian's expression changed. "Someone's here, why wasn't I informed? There wasn't even a sound."
Ji Wuye's expression turned grim. "An Bulang, what business do you have here?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Shouqian couldn't help but take a deep breath. So, this young man before him was the An Bulang that even Ji Wuye feared?
No wonder he could reach the top floor of the Tongtian Tower without a sound.
"What business do I have?" An Bulang blinked. "Nothing much, just passing by, looking around."
As he spoke, he walked to the railing and looked down at the royal palace below.
The palaces were arranged with great layering, and the golden glazed tiles shone brilliantly under the sun, appearing magnificent and grand. The vast royal palace could be seen in its entirety from this vantage point.
"It's quite nice, a good place," An Bulang nodded.
Qin Shiyue's beautiful eyes looked at the white-clothed figure, her lips curling up. She couldn't help but say, "Only by standing high can one see far. Cultivation is the same. Why must fellow Daoist An Bulang be fixated on a mere small country?"
An Bulang pondered for a moment and said, "The great roc did not wish to speak and gave the frog its back."
Bang!!
The cup in Qin Shiyue's hand exploded.
She gritted her teeth, her hand trembling uncontrollably.
Ji Wuye and Ji Shouqian looked bewildered, not understanding why Qin Shiyue's reaction was so intense.
They looked at An Bulang, then at Qin Shiyue, and faintly seemed to understand something.
An Bulang couldn't be bothered with the people behind him. His gaze was fixed with interest on a familiar figure in the royal palace below.
A young girl in a light blue princess dress was walking through the flower courtyard with an arrogant stride.
Several elegantly dressed and beautiful concubines were gathered around a table, cracking melon seeds and admiring the flowers. A few young princes and princesses were playing nearby.
The children heard the footsteps and looked in that direction, then were all stunned.
"Is this... Fairy Sister?" the little princess murmured.
Compared to this young girl, she felt like an ugly duckling.
The concubines turned their gazes to the approaching young girl, their eyes widening. Some even dropped their melon seeds, which fell onto the table.
Both the children and the beautiful concubines were momentarily lost in thought by the scene before them.
At that very moment, the young girl broke into a smile, like the most beautiful flower blooming.
In an instant, her radiant beauty stole the color from all the other concubines and the flowers in the Hundred Flowers Courtyard, which had been competing in splendor.
Which family's fairy had descended to earth?
The fairy suddenly crouched down. Just as everyone wondered why she was crouching, they saw her pick up a large pile of stones from the ground.
"Where did this ugly monster come from, daring to stare at a fairy?!"
The young girl shouted sternly, and the stones flew from her hands!!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Each small stone broke through the air, precisely hitting the heads of the little children.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The children's heads throbbed with pain, and they all cried out.
The faces of the concubines changed drastically. However, before they could do anything, they saw the stones flying towards their faces.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The stones hit the concubines' faces, either breaking the skin or swelling their cheeks.
"Ugly hag! What are you looking at?!" the fairy cursed without any grace.
Both the concubines and the children were stunned.
Where did this violent fairy come from? Didn't she care about her image at all? Could she do whatever she wanted just because she was prettier than them? Could she bully people like this?
For a time, the Hundred Flowers Courtyard was filled with the screams of the concubines and the cries of the children.
They shouted for guards, but not a single guard came.
The fairy then swaggered away, making a stunning entrance and a shocking exit.
"Such a crude and unbearable method of revenge..." An Bulang couldn't help but laugh happily when he saw this scene. "Haha, as expected of my disciple, An Bulang, well done!"
Ji Yinyin's personality of not backing down and just going for it was very much to his liking.
