Xie Tingwan stayed silent for a moment, then softly said, “Find a chance to make it look like I’m still staying with the family.”
Yu Nuo was startled and asked with some confusion, “Young Mistress, you mean—”
Xie Tingwan smiled slightly without explaining, only nodding gently.
Yu Nuo suddenly understood and quickly nodded in response, “Understood!”
…
Elsewhere.
Yun Xiaoxiao had just left her sect when she received the news. She smiled faintly, the corners of her lips lifting, and with a subtle raise of her brows, she seemed to have thought of something amusing. Without hesitation, she changed her direction. A closer look revealed—she was now heading straight for Central State.
…
Meanwhile, inside the Longevity Sect.
Xiao Yifei had also seen the news about the secret realm in Central State. A trace of excitement and anticipation flickered in his eyes. He had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Realm for far too long! This secret realm might just be his breakthrough opportunity!
Even if he couldn’t obtain any heavenly treasures or rare opportunities in the secret realm, just arriving there would mean—
He’d have a whole pile of proud geniuses to feed off of and grow stronger!
Thinking this way felt absolutely perfect~
Perhaps the fantasy was too pleasant. When Mu Xueqi entered Xiao Yifei’s room, the first thing she saw was the smile on his face that he hadn’t yet managed to conceal.
Mu Xueqi looked at him curiously, “Junior Brother, what are you thinking about?”
Xiao Yifei quickly snapped back to reality and pulled Mu Xueqi over, “Second Senior Sister, come, sit here.”
Seeing his hand resting on her wrist, Mu Xueqi’s eyes dimmed slightly, but a smile still crept onto her lips.
Watching her act like that again, Xiao Yifei sneered inwardly.
Seriously…
Her love-struck brain kicked in just from a single touch!?
Then…
He shook his head and forced out those unrealistic thoughts.
Right now, his strength was still lacking. Once he stood atop this continent, what couldn’t he have?!
Mu Xueqi?
He didn’t even care that much.
…
The present-day continent was vast and boundless.
It was divided into five major regions: East, West, South, North, and Central.
The Longevity Sect, to which Jiang Yubai once belonged, was located in the East.
The East, West, South, and North regions were dominated by sects.
Central State was dominated by great clans.
In summary—
The five regions were in a state of mutual rivalry and balance.
None could fully suppress the others.
It could be said—
The five regions stood strong, with none yielding to the others!
Now, news suddenly spread of a Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse’s place of death appearing in Central State…
That place must already be a frenzy of activity!
Everyone speculated it would soon become a fierce battleground for countless factions.
…
Travel between the five regions came in many forms: sword flight, riding spirit boats, or reaching the border of their current region and paying spirit stones to activate teleportation arrays.
Now that Jiang Yubai’s strength had greatly improved, and all his internal injuries were healed, his sword-flying speed was incredibly fast.
After around seven days, he finally arrived at the eastern border.
Just as he dismounted his sword, he was surprised to find the city already packed to the brim with people!
Clearly, they were all preparing to head to Central State.
At the transport station, four long lines had already formed.
Seeing this, Jiang Yubai queued up at the end.
At the moment, he wore a half-mask on his face. Unless someone knew him well, they likely wouldn’t recognize him.
His gaze was sharp and deep. Through the slits of his mask, there radiated an air of mystery.
He stood tall in flowing white robes that fluttered with the wind, as if he were one with the world around him.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Xiao Yifei, along with Mu Xueqi and others from the Longevity Sect, also arrived at the eastern border.
They too lined up.
Looking at the massive crowd, Xiao Yifei curled his lips.
“It’s really lively here,” he muttered to himself.
As his eyes scanned the crowd, he couldn’t help but marvel, “These people all look strong. Looks like this secret realm adventure is going to be quite fun.”
At that thought, a flicker of excitement and anticipation flashed across his face.
“There are so many people here. When will we even get into Central State?” a disciple beside him complained.
“Be patient. Everyone wants to get into the secret realm for a chance at opportunity,” another disciple replied.
Xiao Yifei’s eyes darkened slightly. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
He didn’t care about waiting.
What he looked forward to was the challenge that was coming.
This place… was definitely the right choice.
Everyone gathered here was likely heading for the secret realm.
Although none of their fortunes could compare to Jiang Yubai’s, they were still top talents of the cultivation world.
Even if he couldn’t feast on Jiang Yubai as the main course, these people would make for excellent appetizers~
As he basked in his excitement, his thoughts drifting, he accidentally stepped on someone’s foot.
Turning around, he saw a female cultivator in bright red robes staring at him with an amused expression.
Though her face was charming and delicate, there was a proud and sharp air between her brows that contrasted with her looks.
Her large eyes were calm as the sea—naïve yet far from dull.
Having been surrounded by his own love-struck Senior Sisters, Xiao Yifei suddenly grew intrigued.
A smile he thought was friendly and irresistible began to form on his face—
But just as he was about to speak, the woman cut him off.
“You stepped on me. Aren’t you going to apologize?!”
Yun Xiaoxiao raised her brow, her eyes flashing with a mix of mockery and annoyance as she stared straight at him.
Xiao Yifei froze…
Wait, what?!
That wasn’t how this script was supposed to go!?
But he quickly recovered and hurriedly opened his mouth, “Sorry, miss, I—”
Before he could finish, Yun Xiaoxiao turned around and walked off without looking back.
Leaving Xiao Yifei behind: “…”
What?!
He hadn’t even had the chance to charm her yet!
No wonder Xiao Yifei was stunned.
Ever since he arrived in this world, this tactic of his had never once failed.
Even within the Longevity Sect, who knew how many female cultivators secretly admired him?
To be fair, the body he possessed was indeed exceptionally handsome.
Combined with his own unique charisma, it only made him more irresistible.
Few female cultivators could truly withstand his charm.
Even Sect Master Ye Yunshang fell for it easily~
