When the Roof Leaks, the Rain Pours In
Shi Yue furrowed his brow and said, "Then find me a quieter spot."
"Certainly, sir. Please, the third floor."
The page in green ushered Shi Yue to the third floor with a beaming smile. Shi Yue took a seat in the corner.
Before long, a pot of fragrant Spirit Tea and two plates of pastries were brought over.
"Please enjoy, sir." The page in green set everything down and left.
Shi Yue picked up his teacup and took a sip. As the tea slid down his throat, the fragrance of flowers filled his mouth.
"Hey, have you heard? The Great Qin Demonic Dao has invaded Eastern Qi," a cultivator at the next table asked his companion.
"I have. They say the Demonic Dao Cultivators are powerful. To keep an eye on the Great Qin Demonic Dao, Eastern Qi built Black Eagle City on the border between the two nations and sent a Nascent Soul Cultivator to garrison it. I heard the entire city was wiped out not long ago. I don't think Eastern Qi will hold out much longer," a young man in red analyzed.
"No way! Even the Nascent Soul Cultivator couldn't escape? Is that for real? That's such a secretive matter—where did you hear it?"
"Exactly. That was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, not some Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
"Hmph, that's what the Demonic Dao Cultivators from Great Qin said. They sent people to spread the news in every marketplace in Eastern Qi. It's already common knowledge there. Instead of questioning whether it's true, you'd better think about your own future. If the Great Qin Demonic Dao takes Eastern Qi, our Northern Yan will be facing Great Qin directly. We might be their next target," the young man in red said worriedly.
