127: Chapter 127 Where is she?

"Xu Rui."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Wang Shaozong's Face showed a hint of wariness.

"If you have a conflict, either resolve it outside the city or go to the Life and Death Arena,"

Xu Rui said to the two.

"If you start trouble in the streets, I'll have your families come to the dungeon to bail you out."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.

They knew that Xu Rui wasn't joking; he was from the City Lord's Manor and was specifically in charge of maintaining order within Cangyuan City.

He wouldn't give Face to any faction in the city.

"Consider yourselves lucky. Let's go."

With a wave of his hand, Wang Shaozong led the members of the Yihai Alliance behind him and left.

Zhou Hao only gave Xu Rui a deep look before also turning to leave, and the people of the Zhou Family naturally followed his lead.

After handling the matter, Xu Rui leisurely departed from the scene.

"How boring, I thought there would be a show to watch."

Many people returned to their seats, speaking with looks of boredom.

Everyone thought a fight was about to break out, but the people from the City Lord's Manor appeared just in time, depriving them of the entertainment.

"Alright, this is also quite good; at least things won't get chaotic."

Another person had a different perspective.

In his view, order was the most important thing so that Cangyuan City wouldn't fall into chaos, which was also a good thing for Loose Cultivators like them who had no backing.

"True."

"Speaking of which, I heard that Wanhua Pavilion is getting a new batch of girls, and they're said to be beauties with the potential to be top courtesans."

"Really? Then I definitely have to go check it out."

"This is probably meant to compete with Yixiang Pavilion."

"Competition is good; maybe I'll even get to enjoy some good fortune."

"Watch out for any enchantresses from the Hehuan Sect sneaking in, or you'll be sucked dry."

"As the saying goes, 'To die beneath a peony flower is to remain a romantic even as a ghost.'"

"You brute, trying to act like a man of culture."

"This Wanhua Pavilion, I really should go and observe it."

"You're still putting on an act."

"..."

In the restaurant, everyone continued their idle chatter, discussing various rumors or news from the cultivation world. Among them, Lin Ming even heard some information about himself.

Things like a new Prodigy emerging from Yuanxu Mountain, Yuanxu Mountain's secret weapon, or perhaps just a Disciple Yuanxu Mountain pushed out at random who wasn't as strong as the rumors suggested.

All sorts of evaluations could be heard.

To this, Lin Ming just smiled and brushed it off.

After finishing all the food on the table, Master Yun Hua led Lin Ming's group out of the restaurant and back to the inn.

Of course, Lin Ming and Su Lianxue were free to move about.

However, Su Lianxue immediately threw herself into cultivation.

Lin Ming, however, walked out of the inn alone and once again changed his appearance amidst the crowd.

...

Yihai Alliance

Inside the Alliance

Liang Feng, the leader of the Yihai Alliance, stood beside a Young Man, acting quite respectfully toward him.

At this moment, Wang Shaozong walked in alone.

"My Lord, Alliance Leader."

Wang Shaozong faced the Young Man with an expression of awe and reverence.

"He wasn't found,"

Wang Shaozong said.

"I see."

The Young Man now slowly opened his eyes, and the color of his pupils was actually crimson.

"Keep looking."

The Young Man said.

"Yes, My Lord,"

Liang Feng nodded.

"Furthermore, your speed of expansion is too slow,"

the Young Man continued.

"My Lord, the situation in the city is complex, and our Yihai Alliance's strength is limited,"

Liang Feng said helplessly.

After all, their Yihai Alliance had only been developing in Cangyuan City for a little over fifty years. To have reached this stage already was very fast, and they certainly couldn't compare with the other long-established factions of Cangyuan City.

Moreover, they had already alerted many other factions, who had begun to suppress them, whether intentionally or not.

"As for the issue of strength, we can help you solve it."

Saying this, the Young Man stood up and walked out.

Clearly, his meaning was very obvious.

Liang Feng was somewhat helpless about this. One must know that reaching his current position and the Yihai Alliance's development to this stage were all thanks to their support.

He was already unable to refuse, and he didn't have the qualifications to do so.

But Liang Feng also knew in his heart that he wouldn't refuse. He didn't want to lose everything he had gained, and with their help, he might even gain more.

"Everything proceeds as usual."

Liang Feng glanced at Wang Shaozong and also walked out.

"Yes."

...

"Grandpa, we when are we going back?"

On the street, the Child looked at the old man and asked.

"We can go back very soon,"

the old man said with a peaceful smile.

"Grandpa, I want to eat that."

The Child was quickly attracted by some snacks sold by vendors on the street.

"I'll buy it, Grandpa will buy it for you,"

the old man said cheerfully.

After a while, the old man and the Child arrived at a secluded tea stall and ordered a pot of tea.

The old man drank the tea from his cup while the Child ate the snacks, looking quite leisurely.

Master Yun Hua appeared.

Wearing a mask, Master Yun Hua walked up to the two and sat down in front of the old man, speaking to him.

"Nirvana Realm, so fast."

The old man said with a slightly emotional tone.

His words were only heard by the Child and Master Yun Hua; the other people around them could not hear their conversation.

The Child's attention now shifted to Master Yun Hua, and he looked her up and down with curiosity.

Perhaps noticing the Child's gaze, Master Yun Hua also glanced at the Child, but her attention returned to the old man.

"Where is she?"

Master Yun Hua asked.

"You will see her soon,"

the old man shook his head and said.

"Don't forget what you once promised."

Master Yun Hua's tone gradually turned cold.

"I have never forgotten,"

the old man said.

Upon hearing this, Master Yun Hua stood up, turned around, and disappeared from their sight.

"Who is that big sister?"

The Child then looked at the old man and asked with curiosity.

"That big sister is someone extraordinary,"

the old man said to the Child with a peaceful smile.

"Someone extraordinary?"

The Child tilted his head, looking at Master Yun Hua's departing back with a puzzled expression.

It was quite a cute look.

"Let's go home."

The old man said to the Child.

"Mm, let's go home."

At the mention of going home, a slight smile appeared on the Child's Face.

The old man took the Child's hand and merged into the crowd, eventually disappearing as well.

At the same time,

A piece of news began to spread rapidly within Cangyuan City.

Many seventh-rank items had appeared in the Wanfu Auction. With the help of those with ulterior motives, this news quickly spread through Cangyuan City and even beyond its walls.
