493: Chapter 493 A Brief Encounter

After Shangguan Yanran sighed, she looked toward the back.

Then she was stunned, as she seemed to see a few figures.

Murong Yun and the others.

These few had recently been elected as the first and second place of the star of huaxia, while at that time, Ye Qing was only in fifth place.

But now, this first and second place had to come to pay respects to the fifth place.

This was truly quite remarkable.

Nearby, many people watched Murong Yun and the others approach and began to discuss it in hushed tones.

"Did you see that? Murong Yun has also come over. I heard that he was previously the first place in the star of huaxia. At that time, he could be said to be in high spirits, hailed as the leading figure of the younger generation in Huaxia. Back then, he was also very arrogant, considering his own strength to be in a completely different league from the rest of the star of huaxia. But now, he has still been brought here by his family."

"I remember that Ye Qing seemed to be in fifth place back then, but now..."

"Alright, alright, you cannot say it like that." Nearby, a family head also walked over, "Ye Qing was just starting out back then. Although he was ranked fifth, he was too young, much younger than those ahead of him. Therefore, it was normal for his strength to be insufficient. However, for Ye Qing to have improved so much in such a short time is simply terrifying."

"This is not to say that Murong Yun is not strong, but only that Ye Qing is too much of a Prodigy."

"..."

After these few sentences, everyone's Faces showed agreement. Indeed, one really could not say that Murong Yun's strength was not formidable.

They thought to themselves, and then began to look toward the front.

Now that there were more and more people, they wondered if Ye Qing would come to see them.

It looked hopeless.

Over here, in the crowd, Bai Muya, Bai Rou, and Shangguan Yanran looked at the situation and began to sigh.

"Looking at this, Ye Qing probably won't see these family heads. Should we just go back?"

"I imagine people will be coming here for the next few days. Sigh, but it looks like they will all return empty-handed."

"My father is still looking for connections everywhere to get in touch with Ye Qing. I had a chance meeting with Ye Qing before, so I was dragged here as well," Shangguan Yanran said, sighing.

Bai Muya nodded, "My experience is the same as yours."

Oh?

Subsequently, the two Young Women began to converse.

"So you met Ye Qing even before I did." Bai Muya looked at Shangguan Yanran, surprised that she had met Ye Qing so early, "How was it? Was Lord Ye still very green back then?"

"This... I suppose so."

Shangguan Yanran said, unconsciously lowering her voice. After all, it would not be good for others to hear.

"Haha, when I saw Ye Qing back then, the feeling he gave me was that he already had the momentum to rise. Moreover, his Aura was already terrifying enough at that time. Standing in front of him, I had the feeling of not daring to lift my head. Ye Qing was doing Alchemy at the time, and it shocked me deeply..."

As they talked, Bai Rou, who was nearby, also began to imagine it.

However, after their descriptions, she only had a rough impression of what Ye Qing looked like. It seemed she would have to see the Immortal Master in person to truly experience that feeling.

However, looking at the current situation, it seemed there was no hope.

"By the way, Yanran, there's no point in coming here now anyway. Let's not come over for a while. Shall we go stroll around inside the Imperial Capital Barrier tomorrow?"

"That's right, Sister Yanran, we haven't gone shopping together in a long time," Bai Rou added from the side.

Shangguan Yanran nodded; she didn't have much to do recently anyway.

"It's a deal."

...

On the other side, within the military department.

A Guard Army member came over to report.

"King Yu, I don't know where these family heads got the news. We have already blocked the information, but we couldn't contain it. They found out about Lord Ye's residence so quickly. Now they are all lined up in a long queue in front of Lord Ye's Fengqing Mountain Villa, preparing to see Lord Ye. However, Lord Ye doesn't seem to have seen them yet. Looking at the situation, he probably doesn't want to see them. What should we do..."

After a few sentences, King Yu clicked his tongue twice, "I know, no matter how we block this news, they would eventually find out. However, these guys found out way too quickly. It is very likely that the information did not leak from our military department. But, this is indeed causing trouble for Ye Qing. I think if we don't step in, these family heads will likely stay there forever. This is somewhat disturbing to Ye Qing. I originally prepared a good place for Ye Qing to enjoy the scenery, but now it has turned into a place where he can't see the scenery, only people."

King Yu then walked outside, "Let's go, I'll go take a look and disperse these family heads."

The guard nodded as well.

King Yu went out and headed toward Fengqing Mountain Villa.

A while later.

Fengqing Mountain Villa.

Thump, thump, thump...

A series of heavy footsteps came, and everyone listened, then looked toward the back.

Then, pairs of eyes widened abruptly; they simply couldn't believe what they were seeing.

This situation, this strange beast, could it be that King Yu came personally?

Subsequently, they cleared a path.

King Yu got down from the strange beast.

Everyone greeted him as well.

"King Yu, you are here."

"King Yu..."

...

As they spoke, King Yu looked at them, "I think everyone should not stay here. Ye Qing came from the Modu Barrier, and he must be exhausted from the journey. He is likely resting now, which is why he hasn't seen everyone. How about this: the military department also has many things to discuss with Ye Qing recently, so please don't come for the next few days. After we have handled our business, I believe Ye Qing will definitely want to see everyone."

"How about it?"

After these words, the group of family heads looked at King Yu and fell silent. However, now that King Yu had come out personally, it wouldn't be good not to give him Face. Furthermore, since Ye Qing wouldn't open the door to see them, there was no point in them wasting time here.

"Alright, then we will listen to you, King Yu, and will not disturb Ye Qing's rest for now."

"Yes, we will go back first. We will come back after the military department is done discussing matters with Ye Qing."

"King Yu, we will be leaving first."

"Leaving..."

...

A series of voices came, and everyone returned. Shangguan Yanran, Bai Rou, and the others also followed their families and went back first.
