As night fell, Jiang Liu and Murong Yin stopped on a cliff deep in the mountains. After stopping, the Frostwing Dragon went off to find food on its own.
Jiang Liu, along with Murong Yin, walked through the dense forest in front of the cliff in search of dinner for the evening.
Not long after, Jiang Liu found his dinner for the night: a Hundred Treasure Deer. He thought back to the first time he saw this Hundred Treasure Deer and wanted to have a good meal, but unfortunately, he didn't get to eat it in the end.
This time, the opportunity finally arrived. Before long, the fragrant and tender Hundred Treasure Deer was roasted. Jiang Liu and Murong Yin shared it, while the leftovers were left aside to see if any high-grade Exotic Beast would take the bait later.
This time, instead of building a shelter, the two sat in the open air on the cliff to meditate and cultivate.
The next day, early morning,
Jiang Liu slowly woke up from his meditation and saw that Murong Yin was already preparing breakfast.
Jiang Liu estimated that it would only take a few days to get from here to Yuncheng, so he decided to look around for any treasures or high-grade Exotic Beast.
After finishing their breakfast, the two flew through the dense forest, with Jiang Liu spreading his Divine Sense to search along the way.
However, after walking for more than ten miles, they did not see any high-grade Exotic Beast. It seemed that there were no high-grade Exotic Beast here, so they had no choice but to stop. Then, they took Murong Yin into the air and sent a message to the Frostwing Dragon.
Not long after, the Frostwing Dragon flew by in the distance. Judging from the bloodstains on its mouth, it must have enjoyed its meal.
The Frostwing Dragon flew to Jiang Liu's side, Jiang Liu the two of them jumped on it, continuing their journey towards Cloud City.
On the 25th day of the first month of the fifth year of Chengping,
Jiang Liu and Murong Yin finally arrived in Yun City. The reason they were so late was mainly because Jiang Liu had been searching for high-grade or cultivation treasures along the way.
Although Murong Yin kept emphasizing that he would find these things for Jiang Liu always felt that he could find these things himself, so why should he rely on others?
Moreover, the amount he needed was exceptionally large, and it was difficult to explain this to Murong Yin.
On the day they were about to leave the mountains, Jiang Liu ordered the Frostwing Dragon to find a hunting ground nearby. He himself flew directly towards Cloud City with Murong Yin.
After flying for less than three hours, we saw the South City of Yuncheng.
Jiang Liu and Murong Yin followed the crowd into Yuncheng. As soon as they entered Yuncheng, Murong Yin led Jiang Liu straight to the Ascension Tower.
The two strolled leisurely towards the Ascension Tower, and people along the way were talking about it. Jiang Liu listened carefully and felt as if a new worldview had been opened up for him.
"Did you hear? Feng Qijia vomited blood and was bedridden last night!"
"What? Feng Qijia isn't dead yet? I thought he was already done for!"
"Yes! The dignified eldest son of the Feng Family, ruined like this by a vixen!"
"Such a beautiful enchantress, I'd gladly die beneath her peony blossoms! I'm no less beautiful than Feng Qijia! Why doesn't she even look at me?" said a narcissistic individual.
His companion, standing next to him, felt like vomiting at the sight of his fat, pig-like friend being so narcissistic.
"That's old news. Today, Xiahou Yi is holding another Hundred Flowers Arena. Whoever comes in first place can become her patron."
"Another challenge? Then even Pang Li can't win?"
"It's been impossible for a long time!"
"No way! Even taking aphrodisiacs every day can't make up for it?"
"That's for sure! Just look at Xiahou Yi's flirtatious manner, who could resist?"
"So she's setting up another challenge, does that mean we all have a chance to get close to her?"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it together! It would be best if we brothers were selected together! That way, we can all get better treatment!"
Jiang Liu was dumbfounded. How else could they play this game? Are they all playing it this complicated now? The selection of the male lead is public?
Murong Yin turned her head and saw Jiang Liu's expression. She immediately twisted Jiang Liu's arm hard and asked, "Do you want to go too?"
Jiang Liu was caught off guard and was pinched by Murong Yin, but he didn't feel anything and pretended to be in pain. "When Xiahou Yi went to Wind City before, I didn't even go to see her. Let alone now?"
"I just find it strange. Wasn't she always portrayed as a good person? How come she's so promiscuous now?"
"It's probably related to her being kidnapped by Wei Yi before! But why it turned out this way, I don't know. After all, these are things that happened in the last few months, and unless someone inquires, they won't access the information!"
"I see! Then let's hurry up and go! I have a feeling that Xiahou Yi is going to cause trouble, otherwise he wouldn't be so high-profile."
"Yes! Even if someone is giving up on themselves, they wouldn't do it so openly! It just feels strange." After saying that, Murong Yin took the lead and used his movement technique to speed up towards the Ascension Tower.
The Jiang Liu flowed on Elusive Shadows and without any pressure.
Seeing many people rushing towards one direction, Jiang Liu thought that must be where Xiahou Yi was setting up his arena.
If Murong Yin hadn't been around, Jiang Liu would have really wanted to go and see. After all, such a rare thing was worth seeing, especially something like setting up a contest to choose a male concubine.
At the Sun Moon Sect's headquarters, Ouyang Han glared at Xiahou Yi with a livid face and angrily rebuked, "Where will you go to disgrace the Sun Moon Sect before you stop?"
Xiahou Yi, dressed in a semi-transparent gauze dress, exuded charm. She leaped close to Ouyang Han, giggling as she wrapped her arms around him. "My Ouyang Sect Leader, how could you say such a thing?"
"This is clearly a way to make my Sun Moon Sect famous! Look how famous my Sun Moon Sect is now!"
Ouyang Han stretched out his hand and pulled Xiahou Yi aside. Xiahou Yi's aura had clearly reached the ninth rank.
Ouyang Han frowned. "Can you tone it down a bit? You've made such a mess of things for Feng Qijia and Pang Li. If those two families come knocking on our door, I won't be able to handle them!"
"The matter of love between men and women is inherently a matter of mutual consent. What reason do they have to contact me?"
"Besides, the leader said that as long as I don't kill them directly, he'll cover for me!" Xiahou Yi said nonchalantly.
The leader she was referring to wasn't Ouyang Han, but Zhang Hao, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect.
It seems she has the full support of the headmaster.
Upon hearing Xiahou Yi's words, Ouyang Han was at a loss. He could only leave, out of sight, out of mind.
Xiahou Yi watched Ouyang Han's retreating figure, a sinister smile on her face. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have become like this. She was determined to cause trouble in Yunzhou and make things difficult for Ouyang Han.
After all, she was kidnapped by Wei Yi in front of everyone. Since things had already come to this, she didn't care if her reputation was further damaged.
"At worst, I'll just leave Yunzhou. What's there to be afraid of?" Xiahou Yi thought for a moment, then chuckled.
In the Feng Family Feng Qijia's bedroom at the Feng family residence, Feng Qijia lay on the bed, his face pale and bloodless, emaciated. He was a far cry from the spirited man he had been when he went to Wind City.
Feng Yunluo looked at Feng Qijia with a face full of anger, both angry at his lack of ambition and angry at Xiahou Yi!
Beside her stood a middle-aged woman, still possessing a certain charm, weeping as she cried out, "Feng Yunluo, you must avenge my Jia'er!"
Feng Yunluo, annoyed by the noise, shouted, "Alright! I told you to find him sooner, but you wouldn't listen and kept indulging him. Now look what's happened, and all you do is cry and whine?"
"I'm going to find my father and see if the Old Ancestor can think of a solution!" After saying that, Feng Yunluo left the room and headed towards Feng Boxing's courtyard.
