129: Wasn't it drained dry?

"Because I'm a concubine-born daughter, no one takes me seriously, and I've always been suppressed. I even hid my Realm from everyone; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to kill that person and escape."

"Do you hate them then?" Jiang Ye asked.

"Yes! One day, when I'm strong enough, I will definitely slaughter them all. When that time comes, will you help me?"

"That depends on whether I'm strong enough. If I'm not, there's no point in throwing my life away for nothing."

"Hehe! You're quite honest, without all those devious schemes."

Jiang Ye said, "Because I have a Pure Yang Body, my family has protected me since birth. Aside from two childhood friends, I've had almost no contact with others, and I've grown up quite smoothly. Except for being set up two years ago, which nearly killed me—it wasn't easy to come back to life."

"Then you're much luckier than I am; your family gave you so much love. I'm like an orphan. Those so-called family members never treated me as a human being."

"What about your mother?"

"She only cares about my older brother. When I was little, I was often beaten and scolded by him, yet my parents blamed me for offending him. One day, I'll slaughter this so-called brother right in front of them and see the looks on their faces."

Jiang Ye suddenly felt a trace of pity for this woman, but he also understood the importance of becoming stronger even more. Only by becoming powerful could one avoid such injustice.

If the day ever came when he truly went to the Divine Realm with Yan Kui, he had to ensure he had enough strength to survive there, while also leaving behind powerful means to protect his family here.

Thirteen days later.

After spending these days together, Jiang Ye and Lan Lingji had come to know each other quite well. Having lacked love since childhood, Lan Lingji suddenly had the thought of marrying him and joining his big, loving family.

Shi Bao and Shi Feng saw Jiang Ye reappear on the cloud ship after having vanished for over ten days.

Shi Feng said, "You haven't been drained dry, have you?"

"Piss off! Have you two gathered any news these past few days?"

"Things are a bit complicated; that Xuanling Space isn't so easy to enter. The place this whole ship of people is heading to now is just the outskirts of The Capital; we can't get into The Capital city itself at all."

Jiang Ye was somewhat puzzled. "Why?"

Shi Feng said, "If we Martial Artists from the outside want to enter The Capital, we must be recommended by someone with a special status or join a powerful faction within The Capital. Only by becoming one of their people will you be qualified to enter the Xuanling Space."

"Damn! I thought I could get in just by having the mysterious jade token."

"Whatever you do, don't expose the mysterious jade token. Although several factions at Taichu Academy knew you had it, no one knows us here. Just try your best not to run into those people."

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and suddenly said, "You just said that we can enter The Capital if recommended by someone with a special status?"

Shi Bao rolled his eyes at him and said, "That woman of yours doesn't count. Her factions are just peripheral forces of The Capital. The powers inside The Capital are the true behemoths."

"No! If the Third Prince of The Capital recommends us, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Shi Feng and Shi Bao were both stunned. "When did you get to know the Third Prince?"

"About a month or so ago, people from the Flying Feather Sect came to cause trouble for my Jiang Family, and they were noticed by a Law Enforcement Emissary of The Capital. Not only did he drive them away, but he also gave me a talent recruitment order from the Third Prince, saying I could use it to enter the Third Princes Residence directly."

Shi Bao said, "Holy crap! The Third Prince wants to recruit you? Then we can just enter the city with the talent recruitment order. That'll save us a lot of trouble."
