Chapter 501 What the heck? Early Quasi-Saint stage?
Upon receiving this news, the various factions had differing opinions.
The Chu family.
Chu Xiao looked at the post in his hand and fell silent for a moment.
"You can also take a look at this invitation from the Ye family. They are inviting our Chu family's young disciples to participate in their martial arts tournament."
Feel free to share your thoughts.
After reading the invitation, the elders sitting below shared their opinions.
The elder stroked his white beard and said confidently.
"Master, this matter may not be a bad thing."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"What the Grand Elder means by that is..."
Then, the elder continued to speak eloquently.
"Patriarch, the Ye family's sudden holding of a martial arts tournament is nothing more than an attempt to demonstrate the Ye family's strength."
It's not a bad thing for us to send our younger disciples to participate. If they manage to get one of the top three, they might even receive a sacred artifact. Why not?
After hearing these words, the other elders nodded in agreement, also agreeing with the First Elder's statement.
Chu Xiao had thought about it too, but he always felt that things weren't that simple.
Is the Ye family simply trying to demonstrate their power? Is it really that simple?
He always felt that this matter was not so simple, and wondered if there might be other reasons behind it.
But at the moment, he can't figure out the reason for this.
It's incomprehensible what the deeper reasons behind the Ye family's actions lie.
"In that case, our Chu family should naturally send our family members to participate. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the Ye family if we didn't go?"
"As for this matter, Elder, I'll leave it to you to arrange."
Chu Xiao himself wasn't particularly concerned about this matter and casually handed it over to the Grand Elder.
Upon hearing this, the elder frowned slightly. How did this matter fall on his shoulders?
But since the patriarch had already spoken, he naturally couldn't refuse.
"Yes, Master, I know what to do."
But then, Chu Xiao suddenly said something else.
"Wait, Elder, you make the arrangements first. I will go personally this time."
The Grand Elder, without any suspicion, nodded in agreement.
"clear."
...
The Yun family.
Yunxi's cultivation has now reached the Quasi-Saint realm, which is quite impressive.
Her teacher, the Palace Master of Taiyin Palace, felt that he had nothing to pass on to Yunxi for the time being, so he let her go and experience things on her own.
Therefore, Yunxi also happened to be home.
As soon as she got home, she heard that the Ye family was going to hold a martial arts tournament on a scale that covered the entire Immortal Realm, and she had a feeling about it.
This matter must be related to Ye Yun.
As for why she had such a strange idea, she herself couldn't explain it.
Anyway, I was certain of this in my heart.
Upon returning to the Yun family, Yun Xi also learned that Yun Zishu had not returned from the small world.
After all, we were friends who grew up together, and it's natural to feel a bit emotional when someone suddenly passes away.
In fact, she even went to comfort the Second Elder, hoping that he could take it easy and accept the situation.
Inside Yunfeng's study.
Yunxi was standing in front of Yunfeng with a serious expression.
"My dear daughter, you're back so soon? What... does your master not want to keep you here this time?"
You should know that in the past, Yunxi's master would not easily let her go home.
This time, he suddenly returned not long after leaving, and there must be a reason for it.
Upon hearing this, Yunxi immediately smiled.
"Father, it's nothing really. It's just that Master sees that my cultivation level is already so high, but I haven't had enough experience, so he wants me to go out and explore."
Hearing this, Yunfeng finally understood what was going on.
Only then did he suddenly realize that he hadn't paid attention to Yunxi's cultivation level for quite some time.
"My dear daughter, how is your cultivation level now? What stage have you reached?"
As he spoke, Yunfeng slowly picked up the teacup on the table.
"Early stage of Quasi-Saint Realm." Yunxi said with her hands on her hips and a happy expression.
"Oh, a quasi-saint...? Pfft! What?!"
Upon realizing what was happening, Yunfeng instantly spat out the tea he was drinking.
When Yunxi returned, he didn't ask about Xiu Lian at all, so he naturally didn't know that Yunxi's cultivation had already reached the early stage of Quasi-Saint Realm.
Looking at Yunxi in disbelief, Yunfeng vigorously rubbed his ears, as if to make sure he hadn't misheard.
"Daughter, say it again? What did you just say about your cultivation level?"
"Early stage of Quasi-Saint, huh?"
Yunxi was not at all surprised by her father's expression.
After all, he was so young, yet he had already reached the early stage of Quasi-Saint. Anyone who heard this would probably find it unbelievable.
"My dear daughter, you're not joking with your father, are you?! You weren't this strong before!"
How did it suddenly become so strong? What happened?
Yunfeng didn't want to doubt Yunxi, but rather he found the whole thing too unbelievable.
Seeing her father's disbelieving look, Yunxi readily admitted it.
"Father, when have I ever lied to you? Of course I'm telling the truth. However, I cannot tell you the specifics of how I acquired such cultivation."
However, she would never tell her father the specific details of this matter. She had already promised Ye Yun that she would never tell anyone about the Time Rift Room.
Not even your father!
Since she had already promised Ye Yun, Yun Xi would naturally keep her word.
Yunfeng, however, couldn't wait to stand up and rushed to his daughter, asking excitedly.
"Tell me quickly, what method did you use?"
"If we had this method, our Yun family wouldn't have to rank fifth among the seven major powers of the Immortal Realm; we could even move up a bit."
Seeing her father's excited expression, Yunxi knew this was going to happen.
Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Yunxi could only offer a simple explanation.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but this method is no longer possible. You only have one chance."
As for how it was achieved, I can't tell you. After all, I've already promised Ye Yun, so please don't even think about it.
Upon hearing this, Yunfeng's face immediately fell, his expression of joy vanishing.
He looked like a wilted eggplant.
They thought the Yun family had a chance to rise to a higher level, but they didn't expect there to be so many restrictions.
But it was Ye Yun who told his daughter this. The fact that Ye Yun would tell his daughter something so important proves that he trusts her.
Yunfeng took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yun'er, I understand. I won't ask you about this anymore."
However, my dear daughter, since Yun'er was able to tell you about this and even help you become stronger, it proves that you hold a very deep place in his heart.
Now that you've married into the family, I can finally rest easy.
"Oh dear! Father, what are you saying?!"
Yunxi blushed instantly and retorted.
Chapter 502 Acting on Hearing the Rumor
How did the conversation suddenly turn to yourself?
Even though Yunxi knew she would eventually marry Yeyun, she still felt shy when her father brought it up to her face.
Seeing that his daughter verbally refused but seemed quite happy, Yunfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Sigh! I've raised my little darling for so many years with such care, and now I'm just giving her away to that brat Yun'er. I'm really not happy about it!"
He watched Yunxi grow up little by little, until she blossomed into a graceful young woman.
Suddenly, it was taken by someone else, which made me a little upset.
Noticing her father's somewhat depressed state, Yunxi quickly offered words of comfort.
"Father, don't worry. No matter what, I will always be your daughter, and that will never change."
Thankfully, the little cotton-padded jacket didn't let in any drafts, otherwise it would have been even more uncomfortable.
"Yes, you're right, you'll always be my good daughter."
...
Upon receiving the news, various powerful factions dispatched their members to the Ye family to participate in this unprecedented martial arts tournament.
The people who lead these family members are usually elders of the family or people of high status.
After all, it was the Ye family that extended the invitation, so they naturally couldn't refuse.
If you don't give someone face, you should consider the consequences and whether you can bear them.
In the Immortal Realm, probably no family or sect would dare to disrespect the Ye family.
Unless... he really doesn't want to live anymore.
As for whether other first- or second-tier forces should send their family members, that's up to them.
After all, these first- or second-rate forces are not worth the Ye family's personal invitation; they have only issued a notice.
Everyone sprang into action, rushing towards the Ye family's residence.
Maybe we'll get lucky and win this time? If we make it into the top three, we'll be able to get a sacred artifact.
Even if the probability is extremely small, there is still a tiny bit of chance.
As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The good stuff is right in front of you; whether you can seize it or not is up to you.
...
Chu He, who had just fused two fragments of the Nine Netherworld, immediately felt upon hearing this news that it was an opportunity.
Even though he already possessed the Nine Netherworld Fragment, and became stronger after fusing with the second fragment, he was still far from reaching the level of a Sacred Artifact.
Moreover, if one could obtain a sacred artifact, one wouldn't need to sell it; it would be a huge source of income.
For Chuhe, who can only repair the chain on his own and has very scarce resources, this is a very rare opportunity.
With a sacred artifact, one has countless resources for cultivation, making it easier to become powerful.
Only by becoming stronger can one have a sufficient voice and control one's own destiny.
At the same time, only by becoming stronger can one have a chance to win back Chu Xian'er.
If you are not strong enough, then everything is just wishful thinking.
To participate in the martial arts competition, one also needs to consider one's own identity.
He had already decided what identity he should use to participate in this martial arts competition.
The Ye family issued a direct notice to everyone, stating that anyone who believed they were strong enough could participate in the martial arts competition.
He could easily pretend to be a rogue cultivator, and no one would suspect who he really was.
Of course, some disguise is still needed, otherwise it will be too inconspicuous.
Having already set his sights on his next target, Chu He immediately returned to the Ye family's sphere of influence.
Now, as he was about to head back to the Ye family's sphere of influence, a strange sense of emotion welled up within him.
The person he likes lives in the Ye family's territory, but he can't even bring himself to look at her.
How ironic that was for him!
Strength, only strength is the most important thing.
Once you are truly powerful enough, you can have whatever you want without any worries.
It seems that nowadays, whenever the Ye family holds a major competition, people flock to participate, and there's practically no one who doesn't come.
He hopes that he can reach that point in the future.
Having successfully mastered two moves of the Nine Nether Sword Technique, Chu He made further breakthroughs.
He has now successfully broken through to the peak of the Great Power Realm, and his cultivation has reached a new level.
Even when facing opponents at the early stage of the Marquis Realm, he was able to remain undefeated.
He is a martial arts genius with a profound understanding of the way of the sword.
Because of his understanding of the way of the sword, his cultivation level cannot be compared with his current cultivation level.
While cultivation level is very important, it is definitely not everything.
When one's swordsmanship reaches a certain level, and one learns to grasp the power of heaven and earth, one has every opportunity to defeat a more formidable opponent.
The martial arts competition held by the Ye family that year had an age limit of under thirty, and Chu He couldn't help but think of someone.
Night Clouds!
Although the two had met many times, neither knew the other.
But in Chu He's eyes, it was Ye Yun who stole Chu Xian'er, who stole the person he loved most.
As the young master of the Ye family, he will definitely participate in this martial arts competition.
Once they meet on the arena, Chu He also wants to meet the legendary Ye Yun and see just how amazing and powerful he really is.
Why should the other person be allowed to steal the person I like? Why should I just watch helplessly?
He felt extremely unwilling, and his hatred for Ye Yun intensified.
Upon receiving the notification, Chu He immediately rushed to the Ye family's territory.
He had to scout the location beforehand, thoroughly investigate all the circumstances, and then determine what to do.
After all, he went to the Ye family at great risk, and the Chu family would definitely come.
If my identity is exposed, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave even if I want to.
Eliminating all potential dangers in advance is a skill that Chu He developed after leaving the Chu family.
...
At this time, Ye Yun was in charge of preparing for the martial arts competition.
Although it's called preparation, he doesn't actually need to do anything; he can just stay here and take a look. The real person preparing for this is someone else.
This time, the martial arts tournament that will shake the entire Immortal Realm will be held in Lingqu Prefecture, within the massive Lingqu City.
The location was chosen to be in Lingqu Prefecture because the terrain there is wide and flat, making it convenient for everyone to come and go.
Lingqu City is so large that hosting a martial arts tournament here would be no problem at all.
Upon hearing this news, Lingqu Prefecture suddenly became lively.
The people here never imagined that their home state would become the venue for the Immortal Realm Martial Arts Tournament.
It is an immense honor!
Chapter 503 The Martial Arts Tournament Approaches
The competition will be held in a month.
This month is enough time for the participants in this martial arts competition to arrive one after another.
As the organizer of the competition, the Ye family will only provide the venue and prizes, and will not cover everyone's food, clothing, accommodation and transportation.
In other words, everyone who comes to participate in this competition must pay for their own food and lodging; all expenses are their own responsibility.
This can be considered as indirectly increasing the overall revenue of Lingqu Prefecture and driving the local economic development.
In stark contrast to the bustling Lingqu Prefecture, Ye Yun was enjoying life in his own courtyard.
He doesn't need to do anything else now; the busy period is in the next month, so now is the time to enjoy himself.
It's worth noting that this time, three sacred artifacts were chosen as the final reward.
In other words, the Ye family has a rich foundation and is very wealthy.
Ye Yun went to great lengths to find the chosen one, or those with high fortune.
...
The residence of the Grand Elder of the Ye family.
Since the incident in the last small world, Ye Tingyu has never left.
He has been diligently cultivating the chain, hoping to become stronger and surpass Ye Yun.
Ye Tingyu, who always had a knot in her heart, seemed to encounter a powerful obstacle in the process of repairing the chain, and was completely unable to overcome this obstacle.
After telling Grandpa Ye Wenfeng about this, Ye Tingyu already knew what had happened.
According to Ye Wenfeng, Ye Tingyu is currently suffering from inner demons and is unable to further improve her cultivation.
Only after eliminating inner demons can one further cultivate and improve one's cultivation level.
Upon realizing that she had been affected by her inner demons, Ye Tingyu clenched her fists tightly.
He naturally understood who his inner demon was.
Night Clouds!
Unbeknownst to him, Ye Yun had become his inner demon and a nightmare in his heart.
If he can't eliminate the inner demons within himself, his life will probably end here.
He couldn't possibly go looking for trouble with Ye Yun, since the other party was of a higher status. If the family head found out, he would be in deep trouble.
Even though her grandfather was the Grand Elder, that couldn't change anything.
We must find other ways to eliminate our inner demons; actively seeking trouble is not the way to go.
Just then, Ye Yun proposed the so-called martial arts competition.
If I can find a way to encounter Ye Yun during the competition, and defeat him, I should be able to break free from my inner demons.
Once the inner demons are overcome, one's cultivation level will naturally improve steadily.
Thinking of this, Ye Tingyu took the initiative to speak to her grandfather, Ye Wenfeng.
"Grandpa, I want to participate in the martial arts tournament!"
He spoke with great determination, as if he had already figured out what he should do.
How could Ye Wenfeng not understand his grandson? Even if he disagreed, his grandson would still participate in the martial arts competition.
And since this was to eliminate the inner demons in his heart, he didn't want to stop it.
And on Ye Tingyu's shoulder, Ye Wenfeng spoke earnestly.
"Tingyu, don't keep thinking about hating Yeyun. This will only make your inner demons more complicated."
Clear your mind of distractions and focus on strengthening your mental state. Once you overcome your inner demons, it will be a very good thing for you.
Once you've overcome your inner demons, you no longer need to worry about their intrusion. If they arise again, you'll be able to handle them with ease.
"Keep it up! You're my grandson, so don't let me down!"
He valued his only grandson very much, but unfortunately, he was still quite different from Ye Yun.
When she was little, Ye Tingyu always liked to compare herself with Ye Yun.
Even now that I've grown up, I haven't changed.
He didn't want to stop Ye Tingyu, because doing so would be a pointless act.
Ye Tingyu nodded firmly.
"Grandpa, please rest assured, I will definitely get into the top three in this martial arts competition, and I might even defeat Ye Yun!"
Once I defeat Ye Yun, everything will return to normal, and I might even have a chance to reach that location!
There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Even though she had already gone mad with desire, Ye Tingyu still hadn't given up her longing for that position.
The position of young master!
Ye Wenfeng understood that not just anyone could become the young master, but he didn't want to discourage his grandson.
Sometimes, letting Ye Tingyu experience hardship can be of great benefit to his future.
...
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
A month is neither a long nor a short time.
Over the course of this month, Lingqu Prefecture received a steady stream of people from various factions.
Some of them weren't even there to participate in the martial arts competition; they simply wanted to watch the first martial arts competition in the Immortal Realm.
There are many people who come here to join in the fun.
Gambling has even appeared in various parts of Lingqu Prefecture, but since the martial arts competition has not yet started, the gambling has not yet been opened.
Everyone was very curious about the final outcome of this grand martial arts competition.
Everyone is speculating about who will take the top three spots.
...
Inside the bustling Lingqu City in Lingqu Prefecture.
Compared to the past, Lingqu City is now far more bustling and lively than ever before.
Every street was packed with people, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air.
Every now and then I would hear people discussing things related to this martial arts competition.
"How many people do you think are participating in this martial arts tournament? There are so many people on the streets right now!"
"Who can say for sure? Many people come to watch the show, not everyone participates in the martial arts competition."
"Of course! The participants in this tourism competition are all very strong young people. Those who are not strong enough probably won't even be able to get on the stage."
"That's right, being too old is also a problem. I heard that people over thirty are not allowed to participate in this martial arts competition."
...
At this moment, a huge fairy ship stopped outside Lingqu City.
In the past, the people of Lingqu City would have been very surprised.
After all, Lingqu City was just a peripheral major city belonging to the Ye family, and it was rare for such a huge immortal ship to stop there.
However, no one thinks it's a big deal, because hundreds or even thousands of celestial ships have arrived over the past month.
Even though this celestial ship looked much larger, it didn't attract much attention.
What truly catches the eye is the enormous symbol on the fairy ship.
The Yun family!
This symbol comes from the Yun family, one of the seven major powers in the Immortal Realm.
The seven major powers usually arrive last, since the people who come are at least elders, and they usually have a lot of things to deal with.
///504////
Chapter 504 The Arrival of the Yun Family
The person who led the Yun family members this time was not an elder, but Yun Feng, the head of the Yun family.
This doesn't mean Yun Feng had a lot of free time, but rather that he specifically made time to personally bring the Yun family members here.
Such a grand occasion had not been seen in the Immortal Realm for a long time, so he naturally wanted to join in the fun.
As for the usual matters that needed to be handled, he delegated them all to the elders.
On the Yun family's immortal boat.
Yunfeng stood at the very front, gazing down at the bustling Lingqu Prefecture.
Even from this distance, he could still see it very clearly.
"Is it already this lively? Hahaha! Looks like this trip was worthwhile."
We came here precisely to witness the grandest spectacle of the Immortal Realm, didn't we?
Standing behind, Yunxi asked with great curiosity.
"Father, what are you laughing at?"
Yunfeng shook his head slightly and offered an explanation.
"I wasn't laughing at anything, I was just marveling at how extravagant the Ye family was this time, holding such a grand and unprecedented martial arts competition."
So many people came to participate, and there were many talented young people among them.
I wonder who will be in the top three this time. Xi'er, you should be among the top three.
He already knew his daughter's current cultivation level and was quite certain that she would be able to get into the top three.
As for why he didn't say first place, well, there's also his nephew Ye Yun.
Yunxi was able to become so powerful entirely because of Yeyun's help.
Just think about it, how strong must Ye Yun himself be to help Yun Xi become so powerful?
There's no need to even think about it; Ye Yun will definitely be number one.
He didn't ask for too much; Yunxi just needed to get second place.
All talented young people under the age of thirty will participate in this martial arts competition, which is also an opportunity to indirectly prove the strength of their younger generation.
In addition to receiving corresponding rewards, those who achieve a good ranking in the martial arts competition will also be more valued by their own faction.
Upon hearing this, Yunxi wore a faint smile.
"Father, don't worry, this second place... will definitely be mine."
Yunxi never intended to win first place from the beginning; there was no doubt that Yeyun was stronger than her.
Moreover, even if Ye Yun is weaker than Yun Xi, Yun Xi will deliberately lose the match.
Seeing that his daughter was determined to get second place, Yunfeng was not angry at all.
The conversation between the two was clearly heard by the Yun family members behind them.
Everyone was filled with questions: what exactly were the head of the family and the young lady talking about?
Why are they only aiming for second place instead of first?
Could it be that... the reward for second place is better than that for first place?
That's all they could guess; they didn't know the specifics of what had happened.
Then, the fairy ship landed.
Not long after, the Yun family successfully arrived.
Just after they landed, the people who came to greet them arrived outside Lingqu Prefecture.
The person who came to greet them was none other than Ye Yun.
As the maternal clan of Ye Yun, the Yun family is the most appropriate family for him to personally greet.
Ye Yun stepped forward to greet him, jokingly.
"Uncle, Sister Yunxi, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I was going to have to go back."
Upon hearing this, Yunfeng was naturally not angry, as he knew Yeyun was joking.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. After all, I came here in person this time. I have a lot of things to deal with. I can only come after I have taken care of the family matters."
"Yun'er, where's your mother? Your uncle hasn't seen her in so long, please take me to see her."
Yunfeng, one of your main objectives is to lead your Yun family members to participate in this martial arts competition.
He had another purpose, which was to see his younger sister, Yun Yao.
Since his younger sister got married, the two of them have seen each other very rarely.
Sometimes it may take several years before we can see each other again.
Taking this opportunity, Yunfeng also wanted to see how his younger sister was doing.
"Uncle, don't worry, my mother is preparing a welcome feast for you right now. That's why I came to take you there."
Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, Yun Feng's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"I see. Let's get going then."
At this moment, Yunxi suddenly stopped Yunfeng, who was about to set off.
"Father, what about the rest of our family?"
Upon hearing this, Yunfeng realized that he hadn't come with his daughter alone, but with many other family members as well.
But before he could speak, Ye Yun said directly.
"Don't worry, Sister Yunxi, I'll have someone arrange accommodation for them."
Then, Ye Yun called a follower from behind and asked them to lead the rest of the Yun family members to rest first.
The matter was handled perfectly, and then, led by Ye Yun, everyone headed to the location where the welcoming banquet would be held.
The welcoming banquet was held at the largest restaurant in Lingqu City.
This restaurant is owned by the Ye family and was temporarily built within a month.
Even though it was built temporarily, it was still the most luxurious, top-notch, and high-class restaurant.
It has a full thirty-three floors, making it stand out among the surrounding buildings.
The welcome banquet was held on the 33rd floor, the highest floor of the restaurant, which was also the most expensive and luxurious floor.
A restaurant suddenly appeared in Lingqu City. It looked huge and was naturally very popular.
Moreover, given that this grand martial arts competition was taking place, even more people came here.
To secure a higher floor, one must possess both a prestigious status and substantial financial resources.
Having enormous wealth without the corresponding status means you can only live on a very limited number of floors.
Upon seeing the restaurant, Yunfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"They actually built such a tall restaurant here, and it looks so new; it must have been built recently."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled slightly.
"That's right, it was only recently completed. It took half a month to finish and look like this."
With considerable manpower and resources invested, it has now become the largest and best restaurant in Lingqu Prefecture, suitable for entertaining distinguished guests.
People are naturally competitive, and many don't want to lose face in front of others, so they all want to book the highest floor they can afford.
They made the most of their vanity and satisfied it.
Although they spent a lot of spirit stones, they felt extremely satisfied and had no thought of being ripped off.
"Impressive. It's truly remarkable that such a magnificent restaurant could be built in just half a month."
Yunfeng naturally understood what this restaurant meant: it meant a large amount of spirit stones.
///405///
Chapter 505 The back door was welded shut
Especially during this martial arts competition, with a huge flow of people, the business of this restaurant is bound to be booming.
Even after this martial arts tournament, the flow of people in Lingqu Prefecture will increase significantly, and the restaurant's business will not be bad.
Not long after, led by Ye Yun, the group arrived at the thirty-third floor of the restaurant.
This entire floor of the restaurant has been temporarily booked by Ye Yun for today.
Of course, he is the owner here, so he can use whatever he wants, and there's no need to discuss whether it's included or not.
As soon as they arrived at the lobby on the thirty-third floor, they saw Yun Yao standing on the terrace outside the lobby.
Hearing the sound of someone entering, Yun Yao turned her head slightly and saw Ye Yun and the others.
When she saw Yunfeng, a look of joy flashed in Yunyao's eyes.
"Brother, it's been several years since we last met. I never expected you to come in person this time."
The group walked over and arrived at the terrace on the thirty-third floor.
"Yes, little sister, several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yun'er and Xi'er have both grown up now."
Yunfeng looked slightly wistful at this moment.
He was lamenting the passage of time and how his daughter had grown up.
While the two were chatting, Ye Yun and Yun Xi held hands and went to the other side of the terrace.
Knowing that her father and aunt were both there, Yunxi blushed as her hands were being held.
She glanced at her father and aunt very cautiously.
Seeing the two of them chatting happily and completely unaware of their presence, he silently breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really worried that her father and aunt would focus their attention on her and Ye Yun, and she wouldn't be able to stand their teasing.
Even though it's a fait accompli, saying it out loud still feels a bit off.
"You can see so far!"
Yunxi gazed into the distance and exclaimed in amazement.
In the Immortal Realm, no one would intentionally build such tall structures, especially on flat ground.
The Yun family's house was built on a mountain, so naturally they could enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.
But that's because it's located on a mountain, and the buildings weren't built very high.
The feeling of seeing it here is different from what I saw here.
Located at the very center of Lingqu City, this place offers a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.
From the largest terrace on the 33rd floor of the restaurant, one can overlook the entire city of Lingqu.
It's still daytime, not nighttime.
By nightfall, the city of Lingqu is ablaze with lights and bustling with activity, a sight to behold.
Looking out over the entire city from such a high vantage point is certainly a pleasure in life.
Many newly arrived forces want to book the entire top floor.
After all, the top floor of a restaurant often symbolizes status.
Spending more spirit stones is only fair; they don't think it matters at all. Showing off their status is the most important thing.
Unfortunately, they were told that the restaurant on the 33rd floor could only be booked with Ye Yun's permission.
Many people even tried to use the back door, but unfortunately there was no back door to use; it was completely welded shut.
With no other option, they had to settle for second best and book the thirty-second floor.
The prices at the 33-story restaurant increase significantly with each floor above it, except for the ground floor; the higher the floor, the greater the price increase.
This was a simple marketing tactic. Ye Yun arranged for some people to promote the Thirty-Three Floor Restaurant throughout the city, saying that it symbolized status and prestige.
Anyway, to put it in a positive light, for those who care about saving face, how could they willingly let others suppress them?
They are also willing to spend a lot of spirit stones to rent a floor, or even a room, even if they only use it for a day or two.
Although spirit stones are just a string of numbers to Ye Yun and don't have much meaning.
But no one would complain about having too many spirit stones, and Ye Yun didn't mind taking advantage of various forces.
...
On the other side, outside Lingqu City.
The Chu family had already arrived by this time.
The person who led the Chu family members here this time was Chu Xiao, the head of the Chu family.
He came in person because he wanted to facilitate something.
That was about the relationship between his daughter and Ye Yun.
It has been some time since his daughter Chu Xian'er came to the Ye family, and the Ye family has not made any significant remarks during this time.
Since they neither explicitly stated it nor refused, he was somewhat puzzled.
What exactly is the Ye family's attitude?
Is it that they are willing to form a marriage alliance with the Chu family, or that they are not?
He even asked Chu Xian'er about this matter, but did not receive any useful answers.
Even Chu Xian'er herself had no idea what her current identity was.
Although Lady Yunyao said that she could marry Yeyun, she had to wait for Yunxi.
This has resulted in Chu Xian'er currently being a person without any official status, yet living in the Ye family.
The Chu family, after all, ranks second among the seven major powers in the Immortal Realm, and they are powerful and capable.
How could Chu Xiao's daughter stay in the Ye family without any official status?
Once this gets out, will he still have the face to continue living in the Immortal Realm?
Therefore, his personal visit this time was not only to lead his family members to participate in the so-called martial arts competition, but also to confirm with the Ye family what exactly happened.
If the nightclub refuses, he will take his daughter back; if they don't refuse, he will give her a proper status as soon as possible.
Even though the Chu family is not as powerful as the Ye family, it is still stronger than other forces, so naturally they also care about their reputation.
He refused to believe that the Ye family would refuse to give him that much face.
Moreover, he heard from his daughter that Ye Yun and she seemed to have a good relationship and that things had progressed between them.
Even if they haven't reached the point of discussing marriage yet, they should be very close.
Chu Xian'er, who was initially very resistant, now seems less resistant.
This is a tremendous good thing for Chu Xiao.
At first, he was worried that his daughter would continue to resist Ye Yun and the Ye family because of what had happened before.
Unexpectedly, he was worrying unnecessarily. His daughter had indeed grown up and knew what she should and shouldn't do.
The person who came to greet the Chu family was Xia He, whom Ye Yun had arranged to go there.
He had already heard from Chu Xian'er that her father was coming this time.
As Chu Xian'er's father, Ye Yun had to give him some face, no matter what.
Only then could Xia He be arranged to come and greet them.
As Ye Yun's most trusted personal maid, Xia He certainly had the right to come and greet the Chu family.
///406///
Chapter 506 A Sharp Tongue but a Soft Heart: Father and Daughter Reunite
Although Ye Yun felt that arranging for Xia He to greet them was already quite generous, the other party was no ordinary force.
The Chu family.
As the second-ranked of the seven major powers in the Immortal Realm, he was naturally proud.
Chu Xiao looked at the little maid in front of him. It was obvious how unpleasant Chu Xiao's expression was that the Ye family had actually sent a little maid to greet him.
"Is this how the Ye family treats its guests? Sending a mere maid to greet me—are you looking down on the Chu family?"
His face was extremely pale, and Chu Xiao felt as if he had been played for a fool.
"The patriarch is right. Does the Ye family look down on our Chu family?"
"We're supposed to be the second most powerful force in the Immortal Realm, yet we're treated like we're only using a lowly maidservant. This is utterly ridiculous!"
"That's right, this is utter nonsense! They're completely disregarding us!"
"I don't see any point in participating in this kind of martial arts competition; they don't even have the proper hospitality."
...
The members of the Chu family discussed the matter amongst themselves, all of them filled with anger.
However, just as they were discussing this, Xia He, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"Everyone, I am the young master's personal maid. The young master is currently very busy and does not have time to greet you. I am very sorry."
I will report your grievances directly to the young master.
When Chu Xiao learned that Xia He was actually Ye Yun's personal maid, his previously unpleasant expression changed slightly.
Perhaps... Ye Yun is really busy with something, which is why he specially arranged for a personal maid to greet them.
"Alright, since Young Master Ye Yun is so busy, then lead the way."
Chu Xiao couldn't afford to offend Ye Yun over this matter, or their marriage plan would fall through.
He didn't want this to happen, but it was just a matter of saving face, so he tolerated it and it wasn't a big deal.
Upon hearing this, Xia He's lips curved into a beautiful smile.
Previously, Ye Yun had specifically explained this matter to her, and Chu Xiao would absolutely not dare to act recklessly here.
After all, that guy hasn't achieved his goal yet, so there's absolutely no way he'd cause trouble with the Ye family at this time.
"Please follow me, everyone."
After saying that, Xia He walked directly to the front and led the Chu family to their resting place.
...
The restaurant is on the 33rd floor.
Yunfeng and Yunyao, the brother and sister, had almost endless topics to talk about. After all, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and both had a lot they wanted to share with each other.
This left Ye Yun and Yun Xi speechless.
Is there really that much to say?
At this moment, Ye Yun suddenly asked curiously.
"By the way, Sister Yunxi, are you going to participate in this martial arts competition?"
When Yunxi was suddenly asked this question, she smiled and nodded.
"Of course, otherwise why would I be here?"
Ye Yun suddenly pointed to himself.
"You came here, didn't you? Just to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Yunxi blushed deeply.
She glanced over cautiously and found that her father and aunt were still chatting happily, completely unaware of what was happening here.
She silently breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head and glared fiercely at Ye Yun.
"Hmph! Miss you? Why should I miss you? Someone else is only thinking about himself and doesn't even bother to come and see me."
This is clearly a complaint about Ye Yun, who hasn't visited Yun Xi in a while.
During this period, Ye Yun has been busy with matters related to the martial arts competition.
For example, the construction of a 33-story restaurant, the selection of the venue for the martial arts competition, and the selection of the spectator stands for the martial arts competition.
He had to coordinate and handle all sorts of things.
After all, such a novel martial arts competition is almost unprecedented.
As the person in charge of everything, Ye Yun naturally didn't have time to run around everywhere; he had to stay and handle all these matters properly.
With a wry smile, Ye Yun immediately offered an explanation.
"Sister Yunxi, you really can't blame me for this. Only I can coordinate the martial arts competition, so this matter naturally fell to me. It's impossible to leave it to anyone else."
It's not that I don't want to come see you, it's that I simply don't have the time.
Do you think I don't want to see you? I think about you every single moment; a day apart feels like three autumns.
So much time has passed, countless autumns have gone by, and I'm still feeling sad.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yun spread his hands helplessly, looking genuinely tired.
Seeing that Ye Yun looked tired, Yun Xi originally wanted to scold Ye Yun, but she couldn't say the words.
She is not an unreasonable or spoiled person, and she would never resort to crying, making a scene, or threatening suicide over this matter.
"So how are you now? What are you still doing here? Why don't you go and get some rest?"
She couldn't bear to see Ye Yun so exhausted and hoped he could get some rest.
She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Yunxi interpreted this phrase perfectly.
...
On the other side.
Inside Lingqu City, Chu Xian'er was already waiting in a luxurious inn.
She didn't run away alone; she did so with Ye Yun's tacit permission.
Otherwise, given the Ye family's defensive strength, Chu Xian'er's chances of secretly escaping would be less than 10%, or even less than 50%.
Chu Xian'er had already received a message from her father saying that he would personally lead the Chu family disciples to participate in the martial arts tournament.
Having been separated for so long, Chu Xian'er naturally wanted to take this opportunity to visit her father.
That's why I specifically mentioned this to Ye Yun, and the final answer I received was that she could go to Lingqu City with me.
But that was all; she had no intention of leaving.
She has now fully adapted to her current life and no longer has to face her father's blaming as she used to.
Although she was just an outsider in the Ye family, she lived very well there and didn't feel homesick at all.
Perhaps it was because Chu Xian'er still felt a lot of pressure even in the Chu family.
Staying in the Ye family was a great thing for Chu Xian'er.
Originally, Chu Xian'er did not want to get involved in some of the Chu family's conflicts, but as long as she was in the Chu family, she would feel that she had no choice in the matter.
Now she has escaped that cage and returned to this free world.
She has absolutely no desire to go back.
Not long after, Xia He brought the Chu family to the luxurious inn.
When Chu Xiao arrived at the luxurious inn, he naturally saw his daughter.
"Xian'er?!"
His tone was full of surprise, as if he had never expected to see his daughter here.
Shouldn't my daughter be at the Ye family's house? How did she suddenly end up here?
He had many questions he wanted to ask Chu Xian'er, but when he looked at Xia He beside him, he forced himself to hold them back.
////507///
Chapter 507 The Chosen Ones Arrive One After Another
The clever and quick-witted Xia He naturally knew that the father and daughter would have a lot to talk about when they met.
Having no intention of staying any longer, he gave a slight curtsy.
"Master Chu, Miss Xian'er, I shall take my leave now."
Xia He then left the room.
After confirming that Xia He had left, Chu Xiao asked.
"Xian'er, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be staying at the Ye family's house?"
He frowned slightly, clearly puzzled as to why Chu Xian'er had come here.
This place is far from the core area of the Ye family. Chu Xian'er's sudden appearance here made him worry that she might have encountered some trouble.
For example, being disliked by the Ye family, or being disliked by Ye Yun.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xian'er immediately guessed what Chu Xiao was thinking.
Shaking her head slightly, Chu Xian'er explained softly.
"Father, that's not how it is. Young Master Ye Yun brought me out on his own."
He said I spend all my time in the courtyard and rarely go out, and he was worried I would get bored, so he brought me to Lingqu City.
"I also came to watch the martial arts tournament and relax a bit."
Hearing this, Chu Xiao finally felt relieved and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She was also worried that her daughter was not favored and was not valued by Ye Yun.
If that's the case, wouldn't the Chu family's plan to form a marriage alliance with the Ye family fall through?
He certainly didn't want this deal to fall through.
After all, getting on the Ye family's big ship would be of great benefit to the entire Chu family.
"That's good. By the way, Xian'er, tell me about your life lately. What's Ye Yun's attitude towards you?"
Chu Xiao went straight to the point, wanting to know the relationship between Ye Yun and his daughter.
Asking such a question right off the bat immediately made Chu Xian'er blush deeply.
"Father, actually... actually I'm alright."
She doesn't know how to explain it now, or what to say.
The main problem is that it's hard to explain, what if my father misunderstands?
Seeing his daughter blushing and fidgeting, Chu Xiao didn't know what had happened, but he was certain that his daughter and Ye Yun had a good relationship.
This put his mind at ease.
At first, his daughter was very reluctant. He was worried that if she came, she would offend Ye Yun, which would cause a lot of trouble.
But now it seems that this is not the case, and everything seems to be fine.
Afterwards, Chu Xiao chatted with Chu Xian'er about some other things.
...
On the other side, outside the gates of Lingqu City.
A man who looked very ordinary was standing outside the city, looking at the city.
"Is this where the martial arts tournament is being held? Holding a martial arts tournament in such a remote big city, are you kidding me?"
He clearly thought that holding a so-called martial arts competition in this remote city was a joke.
He is Chu He, disguised and made up.
After a long journey, he finally arrived at Lingqu City.
I came here this time also to participate in the martial arts competition, for no other reason than to win a top-three finish.
With his current strength, plus the two moves of the Nine Nether Sword Technique in his hands, he could certainly contend for a top-three position.
Keep in mind that the top three winners all receive a sacred artifact-level magic weapon as a reward, which would be very tempting for anyone.
For Chuhe, who was currently in a state of wandering, such an opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Why not take advantage of the opportunity to obtain a magical artifact for no reason?
Of course, the prerequisite for obtaining the magic weapon is to be among the top three.
With his current strength, isn't this a piece of cake?
The only thing he had to be careful about was not revealing his true appearance, otherwise he would be in real trouble if the Chu family found out about him.
To this day, the Chu family has never withdrawn its warrant for his arrest.
The Chu family will go to verify any information about him as soon as possible.
According to the information he had gathered, Chu Xiao, the head of the Chu family, was among those who came to watch the martial arts competition.
He knows someone he absolutely cannot afford to offend, and someone he dares not offend.
At the same time, he secretly hoped for something.
Will I be able to see Chu Xian'er at this martial arts competition?
That's right, he still hasn't given up on Chu Xian'er.
He is deeply in love and still cannot forget Chu Xian'er.
What is the current situation of the girl who once captivated my heart?
He had no idea whether he was doing well at the Ye family's house or not, or whether he had suffered any hardships.
The thought of possibly seeing Chu Xian'er filled Chu He with both fear and anticipation.
What he feared was that Chu Xian'er would reject him as ruthlessly as before, and what he hoped for was whether Chu Xian'er had not forgotten him.
His conflicted state of mind also made him feel upset.
Chu He shook his head vigorously, forcing himself not to think about it anymore.
Thinking about these things now is pointless; we'll only know once we see it for ourselves.
Then, Chu He took a deep breath and strode into the city.
...
Not long after Chuhe entered the city, another person arrived outside Lingqu City.
This person had jet-black hair, and a black hood covered his head, making it impossible to see his appearance.
There are plenty of people like this. After all, there are many strange and unusual people participating in this martial arts competition, and no one will pay attention to people dressed strangely.
She slightly raised her head, revealing her face beneath the black cloak.
Feng Qianming!
That's right, it was Feng Qianming who caused trouble at the Yun family before.
After a long journey, he finally arrived in Lingqu Prefecture.
However, due to his sensitive identity and the fact that he is currently wanted by the authorities, he did not travel in a grand manner on a fairy ship, otherwise he would have arrived long ago.
He was wanted by the entire prefecture for causing trouble at the Yun family's residence, so it's not advisable for him to continue causing trouble.
He is no longer in the Yun family's territory, but has come to the Ye family.
This martial arts competition, ironically, gave him a great opportunity.
He could then secretly carry out his operation and hunt down the Ye family members.
Even though it was extremely dangerous, he still did it.
He's capable of anything to get revenge.
The saying "a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years" is nonsense to him; whether he'll still be alive ten years from now is another question.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, revenge is the most important thing.
"Ye family, I'd like to see if your martial arts tournament can even continue."
A cold smile appeared on his lips. His purpose in coming here this time was not only to hunt down the Ye family members, but also to disrupt this martial arts competition.
If the martial arts tournament is disrupted, the Ye family will lose face in front of many other forces.
For a powerful family like the Ye family, face is naturally of utmost importance.
////508////
Chapter 508 Is this pressure to get married?
No major power doesn't cherish its reputation, and no major power doesn't value its own face.
If the Ye family could be embarrassed in this martial arts competition, one can imagine the enormous impact it would have on them.
Revenge is important, but ruining the Ye family's reputation is equally important.
Feng Qianming's purpose was very clear; there were only two.
However, achieving these two goals is not an easy task.
First, since Lingqu City has become the venue for the martial arts tournament, the Ye family has naturally readjusted the defenses there.
It is clear that the number of troops guarding the city gate has increased significantly.
Moreover, patrols within the city have become much more stringent.
Such a grand occasion cannot afford any mistakes; if something goes wrong, it will be the Ye family that loses face.
The Ye family knows this better than anyone else.
The leader guarding the gate was even at the Saint Realm.
This is just a gatekeeper; the people patrolling inside the city are no less powerful, and may even be stronger.
Under such circumstances, carrying out a hunting operation or disrupting the martial arts tournament would not be an easy task.
Feng Qianming is a smart man; he wouldn't act recklessly. He would need to make a meticulous plan first.
Before proceeding, we need to go into the city to observe and thoroughly investigate the situation within.
Only after thoroughly investigating the situation within the city can we proceed to the next step.
With his head slightly lowered, Feng Qianming walked calmly toward the city gate.
The commander guarding the city gate was a Saint Realm expert, so his perception was naturally extremely sharp.
The moment she saw Feng Qianming, she immediately sensed that something was wrong with him.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was wrong.
There are quite a few people dressed like this. Lingqu City has been welcoming all comers and anyone can come and go during this period.
As long as you don't do anything in the city, you won't be punished.
But if someone gets caught causing trouble in the city, their fate is almost predictable.
At times like these, those kinds of things happen every day, which shows a lack of respect for the Ye family. People like that almost never see the sun rise the next day.
No matter who the other party is, even if they are from other powerful forces, they dare not act rashly.
Watching Feng Qianming leave, the Saint Realm commander guarding the gate could only suppress his doubts.
Anyway, this matter wasn't his responsibility; all he had to do was ensure that no one caused trouble at the city gate.
As for what happens in the city, he doesn't need to worry about it at all; someone will take care of it.
...
The restaurant is on the 33rd floor.
The scenery here is quite nice, but it's daytime now, and the best night view hasn't been revealed yet.
Ye Yun and Yun Xi did not linger there for long and prepared to go out for a stroll.
Even though he had been in Lingqu City for a while, Ye Yun had hardly had time to explore it.
After all, coordinating the martial arts competition was already enough to keep him busy.
He swore he really didn't want to deal with such troublesome things again. He had done it this time, but he could leave the next time to Xia He and the others.
This is the first time, and only he can do it.
Back in the spacious room, Yunxi said directly.
"Father, Aunt, Yun'er and I will go for a stroll in the city first. You can continue your conversation."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao and Yun Feng exchanged a smile.
"Alright, then you and Yun'er go sightseeing first. Yun'er, this is Xi'er's first time in Lingqu City, so you should show her around properly."
Yun Yao had always hoped that Ye Yun and Yun Xi could get closer, so of course she wanted to bring them together.
As for Yunfeng, he certainly wouldn't object.
He had a big smile on his face, and he kept smiling.
There was the joy of reuniting with his sister after a long separation, and also the joy of seeing Ye Yun and Yun Xi so close.
Basically, there shouldn't be any problems between her daughter and Ye Yun.
Taking this opportunity, he could also discuss the matter of their marriage with his sister.
He naturally hoped it would be as soon as possible.
Delay could lead to unforeseen changes, and if some unforeseen events occur, wouldn't my daughter's position be threatened?
Even though he already knew that his daughter and Ye Yun had reached a very good point, he still had to be careful.
It's best to finalize this matter beforehand to reduce unnecessary trouble.
Seeing the smiles on her father's and aunt's faces, Yunxi blushed for no apparent reason.
She grabbed Ye Yun and pulled her away; she dared not stay there any longer.
If the two of them ask her some more questions later, she really doesn't know how to answer them.
After leaving the restaurant on the 33rd floor, Yunxi finally let go of Yeyun's hand.
Seeing Yunxi's face still slightly flushed, Ye Yun smiled.
"What? Weren't you having a good time just now? Why did you suddenly let go?"
Upon hearing this, Yunxi blushed deeply.
Her complexion, which had just calmed down, turned red again.
Yunxi gave Ye Yun a subtle glare and said shyly.
"Yun'er, what are you saying?"
Noticing the look in his eyes that seemed to want to devour him, Ye Yun decisively shook his head.
"It's nothing, I didn't say anything. Let's go quickly, I'll take you to explore Lingqu City properly."
Although this is a remote city, it is a very large city, and it is quite lively because of the martial arts competition.
And there are many unique things here, so I'll take you to see them while we have the chance.
It had been a long time since the two of them had spent time alone together like this.
This is a good time to nurture our relationship.
Of course, the feelings between the two had long since reached the appropriate level, after all, their affection level had been maxed out.
The two strolled along the street and saw many different kinds of people.
Many of the participants came from other places to participate in or watch the martial arts competition.
It is precisely because Lingqu City was chosen as the venue that this place has become so lively.
Even on the streets, you can see many strange things that are local specialties but not found elsewhere.
...
On Yun Yao and Yun Feng's side.
After Ye Yun and the others left, Yun Feng brought up this topic specifically.
"Sister, when do you think it would be appropriate to handle the matter concerning Yun'er and Xi'er?"
"How about... we set a time to finalize things first, that way we can put Xi'er's mind at ease."
Yunfeng cannot make a decision yet, at least not for Yeyun; he can only offer this suggestion.
After all, Ye Yun has a special status and is the future head of the Ye family, so his marriage cannot be arranged too hastily.
The specifics depend on the Ye family.
///509////
Chapter 509 Conflict
Yun Yao nodded slightly after listening to the suggestions he had made one by one.
"Big brother, I know what you're thinking, and I know how Xi'er feels about Yun'er, so naturally I have the same thoughts."
However, regarding Yun'er's marriage, I must discuss this matter thoroughly with Chang Kong.
This isn't something I can decide alone, and I hope you can understand. But with me here, no one except Yunxi will be allowed through this door.
Even though he didn't agree immediately, Yun Feng wouldn't say anything more after Yun Yao's promise.
With her younger sister mediating and helping, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, sister. By the way, didn't your husband come to Lingqu City? Such a grand martial arts competition, wouldn't he come to participate?"
Yunfeng was quite curious as to why Ye Changkong hadn't come to such a grand martial arts competition.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao took a sip of tea and explained with a smile.
"Brother, don't worry. It's not that Changkong doesn't want to see you, but he really has a lot of things to do right now, and he's not even in Lingqu City right now."
They'll probably be here in a couple more days, then we'll be able to see them.
She was worried that Yunfeng would be unhappy because Ye Changkong hadn't come, so she offered an explanation.
Speaking of being unhappy, Yunfeng was naturally a little unhappy, after all, he was the head of the Yun family.
Moreover, he was supposed to be Ye Changkong's older brother, but the other party did not come to see him.
I traveled a long way, but I didn't see Ye Changkong. I felt a little uncomfortable.
After Yun Yao finished explaining, Yun Feng felt a little better.
...
By today, all the major forces have arrived.
It's rare to see all seven major powers of the Immortal Realm gathered here in this city.
The Ye family, the Chu family, the Rakshasa Palace, the Medicine King Pavilion, the Yun family, the Xiao family, and the Glazed Dynasty—all seven major powers are present.
The Rakshasa Temple generally has little interest in such activities.
But this was, after all, a martial arts competition hosted by the Ye family, who even sent an invitation to the Rakshasa Palace to participate.
Having already sent out invitations, the Rakshasa Palace naturally couldn't refuse the Ye family's request.
Similarly, someone was also arranged to participate in this martial arts competition. The person who led the Rakshasa Palace to participate in the competition was the Second Elder of the Rakshasa Palace.
The Rakshasa Palace doesn't particularly value the top three in this martial arts competition; if you have the ability, compete for it, and if you don't, then forget about it.
The three sacred artifacts are very tempting, but that doesn't mean the Rakshasa Palace can't produce them.
Participating in this martial arts competition is merely a formality.
There is one day left until the start of the martial arts competition.
Today will be the most bustling day in Lingqu City.
Almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, and the whole city was bustling with activity.
This competition brought countless amounts of revenue to the entire Lingqu City.
The happiest person was probably none other than the city lord of Lingqu City.
For many years, Lingqu City has been located in a remote area of the Ye family and has received little attention.
But it was precisely because of this grand martial arts competition that this city achieved its glory.
Even after the martial arts tournament ends, this glory will remain for a long time.
As the venue for the first martial arts competition, it holds great historical significance.
...
Walking down the street, Yunxi saw many strange and unusual things.
Take a look here and there.
When they encounter something new and interesting that they've never seen before, they'll gather around to observe it closely and see exactly what it is.
Yunxi fully embraced her nature, buying whatever she liked.
Ye Yun, who was following behind her shopping, had a look of helplessness in her eyes.
Indeed, accompanying a woman shopping is a very difficult task, no matter where you are.
As the two were looking around the street, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead of them.
There were quite a few people gathered there, which also piqued Yunxi's interest.
"Yun'er, let's go take a look. It seems like something's happened over there."
After saying that, Yunxi grabbed Yeyun and pulled him away.
Ye Yun, who was being dragged away, shook his head helplessly.
Even Yunxi seems to be no exception to the rule that people love gossip and watching the excitement.
A group of people gathered around the area where the riot had originated.
Once you get closer, you can hear the sounds coming from inside.
"Look, this looks like the Xiao family, and the other side looks like the Liuli Dynasty. They're both powerful forces!"
"Of course they are the major powers. The Xiao family ranks sixth and the Liuli Dynasty ranks seventh. They are both very powerful forces."
"Why do they dislike each other? Did something happen?"
"It is said that they were arguing about who should go first and who should go last, so both sides brought a lot of people with them when they went out. If they walked side by side on the street, they would block the way."
...
Even before they went inside, Ye Yun and Yun Xi could hear everything clearly.
To put it bluntly, neither side is willing to give in, which has led to the current situation.
At this moment, the young people at the forefront of the Xiao family and the Liuli Dynasty were exchanging barbs.
"I was the one who came in first, so you should let me have a turn!"
"What a joke! What makes you think you were here first? I could be saying I was here first!"
"What evidence do you have to prove you arrived first? If you can provide evidence, I'll believe you!"
"What proof do you have that you were here first? Show me!"
...
Neither side held back their words, neither admitting that it was their fault.
The disciples behind the two men were also glaring angrily, waiting for the young man in front to say something.
The moment they utter a word of threat, they will immediately attack the other party, beating them senseless and causing chaos.
Seeing the two arguing, Yunxi gently shook her head.
"Young people these days have so little patience. They can argue until they're red in the face just over who goes first."
It's embarrassing to admit they're from powerful families.
She didn't have that idea at all.
If someone wants to leave first, just let them leave first. There's no need to argue about this; it's embarrassing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun nodded in agreement.
That's a valid point. Unnecessary conflicts should be avoided if possible.
Yunxi's voice wasn't loud, and with all the noise in between, no one could hear what she was saying.
If the two guys in the middle heard this, they would probably come over angrily and have a good argument with them.
Not long after, the patrol arrived.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Everyone, scatter!"
A chilling shout rang out, and the people who had been surrounding the area quickly retreated.
They had already noticed who the person who had arrived was.
