103: Yun Qingyao was disgusted

On the border of the Xuanhuang Domain.

A young woman in a white dress sat cross-legged inside a tent.

This person was Yun Qingyao, who had followed the Sun Family caravan to the Xuanhuang Domain over a month ago.

Not far from the Gobi Desert was a massive city.

The city was entirely black, cast from profound iron, and Black Iron City was named after it.

On Yun Qingyao’s palm.

A black Dung Beetle leisurely pedaled its legs.

Yun Qingyao was somewhat displeased.

She had discovered one of Mr. Yan’s unspeakable habits.

That was, he would go out at night to… push dung balls.

Every time he returned, there was a stinky smell, and at these times, she would first “dutifully” help Mr. Yan wash up before she could breathe freely.

But she chose not to expose him.

Men, after all, valued their Face.

Besides, if a Dung Beetle didn’t push dung balls, would it still be a Dung Beetle?

She still needed this Dung Beetle for now; when she could fly solo, she would definitely get back everything she had endured during these days!

She scratched her head with her free hand.

Following this caravan, she pretended to be a Body Tempering Early Stage Cultivator, unable to use purification magic, and the washing conditions had been poor these past days.

She always felt her scalp was itchy.

She skillfully discarded the hair she had plucked from her palm and, frowning, asked the Dung Beetle in her other palm.

“Mr. Yan, how much longer do we have to wait?!”

“I don’t know.”

Gu Yanqing glanced at Yun Qingyao.

They had arrived at the outskirts of Black Iron City a few days ago, but due to some changes within Black Iron City, it would still take some time before the city gates reopened.

So the caravan had set up camp outside.

After all, going back would also incur costs.

Yun Qingyao complained, “We’ve waited so long, what’s so important that people can’t enter the city first! This Gobi Desert is making my skin bad.”

Gu Yanqing said nothing more.

How could a perfect Body Tempering Cultivator have bad skin? These sands might affect ordinary people, but what effect could they have on a Cultivator?

Too delicate.

At this moment, a refined voice came from outside.

“Qingqing? I’m Sun Wenqian, may I come in?”

Yao Qingqing was the fake name Yun Qingyao had given Sun Wenqian.

Yun Qingyao put on a smile, and after managing her expression, called out, “Yes! Brother Wenqian, please come in!”

The tent flap was lifted.

Sun Wenqian looked at Yun Qingyao, a fondness growing in his heart.

He walked over and sat on a chair, saying apologetically, “Qingqing, I’m really sorry, the City Lord of Black Iron City was attacked by assassins, and they’ve sealed the city gates to trap them.

But you don’t need to worry.

The assassin has already been caught; now it’s just a matter of identifying his accomplices. It won’t be long before we can enter the city.”

“Mm-hmm!” Yun Qingyao said with a smile, “It’s nothing to me. These hardships are just Brother Wenqian’s daily life. Thinking of that, I not only don’t feel it’s hard.

I also especially admire Brother Wenqian.

Brother Wenqian, you’re too amazing!”

Sun Wenqian felt greatly satisfied emotionally and, suppressing the pride in his heart, humbly said, “It’s nothing.”

“Qingqing, news has come from home, from the center of the Cang Ling Domain. Isn’t your family from a city affiliated with Lingwu City? You must be very interested.”

“Ah?”

Yun Qingyao feigned confusion.

Sun Wenqian said, “Let me tell you, a few major events have happened recently in our Cang Ling Domain.”

“First, Bixiao Sect, one of the Three Great Factions, was destroyed.”

“Second, a Nascent Soul Cultivator named Jiang Ning appeared in the Cang Ling Domain, becoming the number one powerhouse in our Cang Ling Domain.”

“Third, powerhouses from the Three Great Factions of the Xuanhuang Domain came to our Cang Ling Domain to vie for an Opportunity, but they were beaten back by our number one powerhouse, Jiang Ning!

In that battle, the Vice Marshal of the Tiance Military Prefecture of the Xuanhuang Domain even projected himself over, but he was directly slain!”

“And fourth… the Li Family of Lingwu City became the third great power in the Cang Ling Domain.”

As Yun Qingyao listened, her heart bled.

She thought, do you still need to tell me? I was the one who experienced it, and I was the one whose Sect was destroyed… Yun Qingyao forced a smile.

“Ah? Is that so… I didn’t know any of this. Brother Wenqian is too amazing, and your information is so well-informed!”

Sun Wenqian chuckled.

“These are nothing. Our Sun Family is preparing to trade with the center of the Cang Ling Domain next, so we naturally need to keep a close eye on the central region.”

“Since you’re so interested, I’ll tell you more.”

“Speaking of Jiang Ning, the number one powerhouse in the Cang Ling Domain, he actually has ties to the annihilated Bixiao Sect…”

Sun Wenqian embellished the story, adding some legendary flair, and finished telling Yun Qingyao how Jiang Ning had annihilated Bixiao Sect, also sharply criticizing how Bixiao Sect had suppressed talent.

Finally, he sighed.

“Actually, none of this matters. The remaining Bixiao Sect Disciples now hate not Jiang Ning, but a woman. Can you guess who it is?”

Yun Qingyao: … “I don’t know.”

“It’s Yun Qingyao.”

Sun Wenqian frowned, “It is said that this young woman was also the Young Sect Master of Bixiao Sect, but she fawned over the Sect Master and Elders, causing Senior Jiang and the Sect to become estranged.

That Young Sect Master was still not satisfied and wanted to harm Senior Jiang’s only Disciple, Shen Jinhuan.

Therefore, Senior Jiang could no longer tolerate it and destroyed Bixiao Sect.

The top power in the Cang Ling Domain, one could even say the number one power in the Cang Ling Domain, was ruined by such a venomous young woman.

It’s truly regrettable.”

Yun Qingyao: … She gritted her teeth.

She defended herself, “Perhaps the truth isn’t like that? That Young Sect Master might have some incredible reason.”

“What incredible reason?”

Sun Wenqian patted Yun Qingyao’s shoulder, “Qingqing, you are just too kind. If that Young Sect Master had even half, or even one-tenth, of your kindness.

Bixiao Sect would not have met this fate.”

Yun Qingyao: … She really wanted to jump up and hit someone!

Gu Yanqing, who had been listening the entire time, had his antennae twitching wildly.

It was too funny, much funnier than a play!

But what he said was correct, Yun Qingyao was indeed such a hypocritical person!

Seeing that Yun Qingyao was not interested in this, Sun Wenqian thought for a moment and said, “Qingqing, how about I tell you more about how brave Senior Jiang is.

How about I tell you about that legendary Nascent Soul battle?”

Yun Qingyao gave a dry laugh, “Brother Wenqian, I’m feeling a bit unwell and want to rest.”

Sun Wenqian showed concern for a while and then hastily excused himself.

After he left.

Yun Qingyao casually picked up a teacup and threw it to the ground.

“Mr. Yan, that Jiang Ning destroyed my Sect and slandered me to this extent, I must take revenge!”

“You can!”

Gu Yanqing encouraged, “From now on, practice the Nurturing Dao Ascending Spirit Art for one extra hour every day.”

Yun Qingyao: … She thought for a moment.

“Mr. Yan?”

“Hm?”

“You said, can I join the Tiance Military Prefecture and help them deal with Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan to gain resources? Don’t they always want the dao leaf?”

“Have you thought about how to conclude it?”

Gu Yanqing said seriously, “Others are spreading rumors that the dao leaf is on Jiang Ning, but I know that the dao leaf must be on Diga of the Fantian Domain.

After you kill Jiang Ning, if the Tiance Military Prefecture discovers that Jiang Ning doesn’t have the dao leaf, and they demand it from you, how will you resolve it?”

Yun Qingyao was stunned.

It seemed he had a point.

Immediately, she heard Gu Yanqing say, “However, your idea also has some feasibility; you can try it. If it doesn’t work out, I can take you and run.”

Gu Yanqing felt that resolving the hidden danger of Jiang Ning would also be good.

Being chased by a Nascent Soul Cultivator was not a pleasant experience.
