New Year's Eve, Year Three of the Gongzhi Era

This day marked the third year of co-governance. It was New Year's Eve, and heavy snow had blocked the mountains, turning everything into a vast expanse of white.

At this moment, Jiang Liu and the others who stayed in the Flowing Cloud Sect mountain range for the New Year were gathered together in the pavilion in Jiang Liu's courtyard, enjoying a hot pot.

The table was covered with various kinds of freshly caught Exotic Beast Meat, and some Natural Treasure and precious vegetables.

Of all the people present, apart from Jiang Liu, who was male, the rest were all women.

Around a specially made huge table sat Jiang Liu, Murong Yin, Feng Yue, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Tang Wanyu, Qiao Jiao, Yue Yue, and all twelve of Jiang Liu's senior sisters were present.

Since all of these people were at the Grandmaster Realm, they were immune to heat and cold and had no fear of the endless wind and snow outside the pavilion.

Moreover, they were all wearing only a single layer of clothing, each displaying a graceful and alluring figure, vying with each other for attention.

At this moment, everyone was sitting together, clinking glasses and chatting, creating a lively scene.

Tang Wanyu glanced up at Murong Yin and Feng Yue sitting next to Jiang Liu, and her eyes lit up with mischief.

She stood up and said, "Junior brother, could you tell me which of your two wives you think is more beautiful?"

Jiang Liu turned his head to look at Murong Yin and Feng Yue sitting to his side, smiled faintly, and said, "In my eyes, they are all the same."

"Really? Then what about Sect Leader Gongsun?" Tang Wanyu continued to ask.

As soon as Tang Wanyu said this, the previously lively tabletop immediately fell silent.

Even Flowing Cloud Matriarch looked up at Tang Wanyu, but she didn't say anything and continued to eat a piece of Exotic Beast Meat.

Qiao Jiao, who was sitting next to Tang Wanyu, quickly pulled her aside, signaling her to shut up.

In fact, Qiao Jiao knew why Tang Wanyu said that; she was just resentful.

Tang Wanyu had been depressed for a long time ever since she learned that another bride at the wedding was Gongsun Haoyue.

She just couldn't understand why that two-hundred-year-old woman was able to marry Jiang Liu.

Is it simply because she's Peak Grandmaster? Or is she the Sect Master of the Star Moon Sect?

During this time, Tang Wanyu stopped going out and playing, which she loved most, and instead focused on diligently cultivating in the mountains.

This time, it was Qiao Jiao who couldn't stand it anymore, so she took advantage of New Year's Eve to drag her out to get together with everyone.

I never expected her to pull something like this.

Jiang Liu hadn't expected Tang Wanyu to ask that, but he quickly replied, "Sect Leader Gongsun, it's the same."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yin and Feng Yue both turned to look at Jiang Liu, but neither of them spoke.

With everyone's deliberate encouragement, the atmosphere soon became lively again.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch smiled and did not blame Tang Wanyu.

In fact, she knew that Tang Wanyu had feelings for Jiang Liu, but it was a matter between them, and she couldn't and wouldn't interfere.

Moreover, a marriage alliance with the Star Moon Sect is a major event concerning the Flowing Cloud Sect's acquisition of the Star Moon Sect, and she will not allow anyone to sabotage it.

During this time, she also heard some rumors within the Sects.

They say Gongsun Haoyue is not good enough for Jiang Liu, and that Gongsun Haoyue is an old cow eating young grass.

Of course, no one dared to say that Jiang Liu was trying to climb the social ladder by marrying Gongsun Haoyue.

After all, Jiang Liu's strength and advancement speed are obvious to all.

Who knows, he might eventually advance to the Saint Realm?

Moreover, even now, Gongsun Haoyue should not be a match for Jiang Liu.

Because, regardless of whether it's true that Jiang Liu can fight three Peak Grandmaster alone.

However, it is common knowledge that Jiang Liu has two Beast Emperor as his tamed beasts.

Therefore, when the news broke that Gongsun Haoyue had married Jiang Liu, almost everyone was talking about Gongsun Haoyue.

However, these are all messages circulating in secret, and no one has dared to pass them on to Jiang Liu or Gongsun Haoyue yet.

However, even so, bad rumors have already begun to spread.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch has already begun the investigation, which is why Nangong Yun didn't even have time to sit down and rest on New Year's Eve, because he was busy with this matter.

The gathering then ended in a fairly harmonious atmosphere.

After everyone left, Jiang Liu carried his two wives and flew directly into the room.

He seemed to notice that Murong Yin and Feng Yue hadn't spoken much all night.

"What's wrong? Did something Senior Sister said upset you?" Jiang Liu asked.

"No, don't overthink it. We're just a little curious about all your senior sisters. Don't you have any thoughts about it?" Feng Yue spoke first.

Murong Yin stood to the side, watching Jiang Liu with a smile.

She also noticed that several of her senior sisters seemed to have feelings for Jiang Liu, but Tang Wanyu was the most obvious in her feelings.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Liu asked, looking completely bewildered. "In the Sects, I've always focused on cultivation, and I rarely even leave the courtyard."

Upon hearing this, both women were immediately very satisfied, as they had a deep understanding of Jiang Liu's persistent attitude towards cultivation.

After that, the three of them stopped chatting and happily started playing a three-person game.

Not long after Flowing Cloud Matriarch returned to his residence, Nangong Yun came to report something.

"Sect Master, we've found out. It really was Xinghui and her gang who did this," Nangong Yun said.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch nodded, indicating that she understood, but a helpless expression also appeared on her face.

She couldn't possibly punish them for such a small matter!

"Sect Master, during my investigation, I discovered something unusual," Nangong Yun continued.

"What is it?" asked Flowing Cloud Matriarch.

"It was Xinghui and the others who were taking turns monitoring Xingbai."

"Surveilling Xingbai? What are they trying to do?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch frowned and asked.

If they were to target Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect, that would be no small matter.

"At first I didn't know what they wanted to do, but after I had people monitor them for a while, I finally found out that Xingbai was in contact with someone else."

"Moreover, that person was a eunuch," Nangong Yun said angrily.

"Eunuch? Good! You can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a traitor within your own ranks. This Xingbai is actually colluding with the remnants of the Great Qian Dynasty?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch exclaimed angrily.

"Did you arrest that eunuch?"

"They've been arrested and are now in the secret dungeon inside the Discipline Hall," Nangong Yun said hurriedly.

"Did he confess?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch then asked.

"I haven't even interrogated him yet, but I've already come to report this matter to the sect leader," Nangong Yun said, shaking his head.

"Then let's go!" Flowing Cloud Matriarch stood up and said.

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the courtyard, leaping into the air and flying towards the Discipline Hall.

Nangong Yun quickly slipped out and followed.
