11: The shift in the flow of Qi, the anomalies in Cangfeng City

These past few days, An Yuyao felt that her mood was extremely poor.

After quarreling with her childhood sweetheart, Zhang Tian, she returned to her Immortal Cave but couldn't calm down to Cultivate.

So, she decided to go out to clear her mind, which led her to accept this Sect mission.

Su Yun was currently sitting in a seat on the spirit boat.

He discovered that An Yuyao's life script had actually changed.

The text in the Opportunity column was flickering, and new text had appeared in the Recent Turning Point column.

[Recent Turning Point: A few hours later, An Yuyao leads the team to Cangfeng City to investigate the Spirit Beast riot, uncovers a shocking conspiracy, is ambushed by a Black-clothed Person, and her life or death is unknown.]

"System, what's going on? Why is the text in this Opportunity column flickering?"

[Ding, after System analysis, An Yuyao is being affected by the decline in Zhang Tian's Luck.]

[Because An Yuyao is Zhang Tian's fiancée, their Luck is connected.]

[Now her Luck is fluctuating, and a turning point has appeared.]

[If she fails to overcome this tribulation, she will die directly.]

[If she overcomes this tribulation, her Luck will become stable.]

[She will no longer be affected by Zhang Tian's Luck and may even see an increase.]"

"As expected, this mission isn't that simple."

Based on the description in An Yuyao's life script's Recent Turning Point, Su Yun felt that enemies at the Nascent Soul Realm or above would likely appear during this mission.

An Yuyao is currently at the Golden Core First Layer Realm; enemies that could put her in danger must be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm... Azure Sun City, outside the Treasure Pavilion.

A youth with an ordinary appearance and a resolute face stood there.

Zhang Tian had been doing quite well recently.

Not only did he pass the assessment and become an Outer Sect Disciple.

He also successfully counter-killed Liu Wu when Liu Wu tried to extort him.

Not only did he frame a Spirit Beast for Liu Wu's death.

He also found quite a few Spirit Stones in Liu Wu's Storage Pouch.

These past few days, he had also reflected on his attitude towards his childhood sweetheart, An Yuyao.

He had been blinded by hatred; perhaps he had truly misunderstood An Yuyao.

The day his Family was wiped out, the enemies were a group of unidentified people.

The Family members fought bravely, but they were wiped out in a short time.

If his parents hadn't activated the random teleportation array before dying, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

The time between discovering the enemy and his entire Family being annihilated, leaving only him alive, was about one hour.

Perhaps the An Family didn't arrive in time, or maybe the enemy's strength was too great for them to offer assistance.

But none of this had anything to do with his childhood sweetheart, An Yuyao.

He might have deeply hurt her heart by treating her the way he did; he should think of a way to apologize.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tian recalled how, when he fled near the Xuanji Sect, he was penniless and sold everything valuable he possessed.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the time; in a fit of anger, he sold that mysterious jade pendant.

This mysterious jade pendant was given to him by his parents.

Later, he learned that An Yuyao's parents had also given her a similar jade pendant, so at the time, he considered this jade pendant an Engagement Token.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, Xiao Zi immediately stepped forward when she saw a customer arrive.

"Esteemed guest, my name is Xiao Zi. May I ask what you require?"

"I want to buy back the jade pendant I sold earlier."

Zhang Tian stated his purpose directly.

"jade pendant? Could the esteemed guest please provide the sales receipt?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tian took out a receipt for goods sold at the Treasure Pavilion from his Storage Pouch.

Xiao Zi took the receipt and carefully examined the details on it.

"I apologize, esteemed guest, but this jade pendant has already been sold."

Xiao Zi said to Zhang Tian with an apologetic expression.

Zhang Tian's previously excited mood immediately plummeted.

"Who bought it?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

Zhang Tian's calm expression instantly turned ferocious, his fists tightly clenched.

"You sold it, how can you not know?"

"Are you making fun of me?"

"When we sell goods at the Treasure Pavilion, we do not record the customer's information, nor can we reveal a customer's privacy."

Seeing that Zhang Tian seemed to be looking for trouble, Xiao Zi immediately released her Golden Core Stage aura.

And several powerful auras appeared inside the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhang Tian felt the suppression from multiple strong auras, finally calming down, and left the Treasure Pavilion helplessly.

On the way back to the Sect, he felt a sense of loss, as if he had missed something that he would regret for the rest of his life... On An Yuyao's spirit boat, Su Yun had already been meditating and Cultivating for several hours.

Because the Xuanji Sect was still quite far from Cangfeng City.

It took him several months to travel from Su Family Village to the Xuanji Sect back then.

Even with the spirit boat's speed, it would take several hours to arrive.

Along the way, An Yuyao remained in the cockpit, staring blankly at the scenery outside.

The other three Male Cultivators kept sneaking glances at her and occasionally looked around the interior of the spirit boat, seemingly curious about its structure.

"Senior Sister An, when we arrive at Cangfeng City later, can I go to Su Family Village outside the city first?

That is my hometown; I grew up there."

Su Yun came to the cockpit and asked directly.

An Yuyao, who had been daydreaming, snapped her head around when she heard Su Yun's voice.

Seeing Su Yun's face, she froze.

Because she hadn't looked closely at the faces of the team members before boarding the spirit boat, she was unconsciously attracted by such a handsome face at close range.

It wasn't until Su Yun was also staring intently at her face that she turned her head away with a blush.

"No problem, as long as it doesn't delay the mission."

An Yuyao didn't know what was wrong with her.

She already had a fiancé, so why was she still attracted to the handsome Junior Brother? Could it be that she was too fickle?

However, this Junior Brother named Su Yun was not only handsome but also a person with a very good personality.

Generally, many Cultivators no longer think about their Mortal hometowns after embarking on the immortal path.

Especially those who emerged from Mortal cities to become Cultivators.

It was a very rare thing for Junior Brother Su Yun to not forget his hometown even after becoming a Cultivator.

"Hmm? So shy? Blushing just from a simple sentence?"

Su Yun was also startled by An Yuyao's sudden blushing and turning away.

Because he hadn't done anything, just spoken a sentence.

Just as Su Yun was wondering, the spirit boat finally reached its destination.

The five people disembarked from the spirit boat and found that Cangfeng City looked very strange from a distance.

Because the Spiritual Qi in the air carried a trace of Evil Qi, this Evil Qi made Cultivators feel that their spiritual power circulation was obstructed.

"Everyone, be careful. It seems something unexpected has happened in this Cangfeng City."

"Junior Brother Su Yun, you shouldn't go to Su Family Village alone. The five of us will go together; it will be safer."

An Yuyao turned and said to Su Yun with a serious expression.

The moment she turned, her Golden Twin Ponytails shone with golden light under the sun.

According to her estimation, the Spirit Beast riot this time might have hidden reasons.

As the only Golden Core Stage Cultivator in the entire team, she had to take on the responsibility of protecting her teammates; acting together offered higher safety.
