But even without a signature, Xu Yang already knew who sent this!
Song Yuanhao!
With the power of the Celestial Travelers’ Comrce Association, it’s no surprise they found out he appeared at Wuhou Hall!
"What speedy work!"
"Mr. Xu, did sothing happen?"
Seeing the change in Xu Yang’s expression, Bai Jingxue’s eyes flashed with surprise and suspicion.
"It’s nothing, just an old friend."
Xu Yang offered a light, dashing smile, but deep in his eyes, there was nothing but icy coldness.
He had no intention of telling the Bai Family about this!
He shook the letter in his hand lightly and said, "I’ll depart tomorrow. Thank you to the Bai Family for your care these past few days."
Bai Jingxue didn’t think too much, her gentle smile serene: "Hosting Mr. Xu is how it should be, and besides, Mr. Xu has solved a huge problem for my family."
And her, too!
If not for Xu Yang, she would already have fallen into a tiger’s jaws!
If her attitude toward Xu Yang before was because of his potential and Alchemy Dao, now it’s sincere—she’s truly given her heart!
Standing before the overwhelming force of Wuhou Hall, and her own life or death, he still stepped forward to shield her—how many in this world could do that?
"Mr. Xu is leaving tomorrow, shouldn’t you bathe tonight to wash away the dust and worries? Jingxue can substitute as your maid!"
Bai Jingxue mustered her courage and looked at Xu Yang, a blush dusting her cheeks like the first peach blossoms of spring, irresistibly alluring!
Substitute as a maid?
Bathing?
Xu Yang was startled, shock flickered in his eyes before a bitter smile replaced it.
How could he not see Bai Jingxue’s feelings?
He’d already made his stance clear once.
Yet Bai Jingxue still chose her own path.
Xu Yang sighed inwardly.
"No need, Miss Bai."
With those words, he clasped his fists in salute, then turned and walked into his room.
With wolves and tigers surrounding him, how could he lead a fine lady astray?
Bai Jingxue’s beautiful eyes clouded with disappointnt. Watching the door close, she gave a soft, sorrowful sigh, then quietly turned and left.
The next morning!
Xu Yang didn’t disturb anyone, slipping away from the Bai Family in silence.
But above the Bai Family’s manor, several figures stood, watching from afar.
It was none other than Mr. Bai, Bai Song, and others. Bai Jingxue was among them.
"If all goes well, Mr. Xu will undoubtedly beco one of Daqian’s strongest within three years!"
"May his journey to the forbidden place go smoothly!"
"Clan Leader, we need to make preparations, too. If an incident like the one a few days ago happens again, we’ll be far too passive!"
When Bai Song said this, several elders nodded in agreent.
Mr. Bai spoke gravely: "The location’s already chosen—go down and get started!"
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
Bai Song accepted the order respectfully.
Once they left, only Mr. Bai and Bai Jingxue remained.
Mr. Bai looked at his daughter, sighing helplessly.
His precious girl made him proud, but fate let her et Xu Yang!
"Jingxue, perhaps you should focus your mind on martial arts and the family’s business. The Bai Family must develop cautiously in this period. Only with greater strength can we help Mr. Xu!"
Bai Jingxue turned back, her smile gentle and natural: "Don’t worry, Father, I will."
...
On the other side.
Xu Yang left Celestial Guard City, heading straight for the west.
This ti, he chose to go alone. His greatest confidence was the Void Shifting Talisman he obtained from the governor’s mansion!
Song Yuanhao’s sudden ssage caught him completely off guard!
Did he really think he had Xu Yang locked down?
Or did he have other plans?
With all these doubts, half an hour later, Xu Yang reached the base of Wo Hu Mountain.
From a distance, he saw three figures.
As he approached, Xu Yang’s face showed surprise.
"It’s you guys?"
None of the three were Song Yuanhao!
They were Huangfu Qing, Huang Hua, and a middle-aged stranger.
The middle-aged man was clearly a Myriad Phenona Realm expert, Xu Yang could tell he was at the late stage.
He stood guard behind Huangfu Qing and Huang Hua, his face frosty and emotionless!
"You ca, just as expected."
Huangfu Qing’s eyes held killing intent, unconcealed!
Huang Hua’s gaze brimd with venomous hatred!
Xu Yang frowned. Song Yuanhao wasn’t here—it was these two instead.
Is it about Su Yun?
"Did the Celestial Travelers’ Comrce Association give you the news?"
"That’s right!"
Huangfu Qing answered imdiately.
"Where is it?" Xu Yang asked coldly.
Huangfu Qing flipped his palm, revealing a piece of purple wood covered in mysterious, arcane spirit patterns, exuding a faint fragrance that cleared the mind and almost made one swoon!
Purple spirit lines wove over its surface, under sunlight it looked like living spirit fire!
It was none other than the precious Reviving Purple Fla Wood!
It could nurture damaged souls. If the soul suffers injury—like a coma that cannot be awakened—this item can restore them!
"Do you want it?"
Huangfu Qing stared at Xu Yang with playful intent.
"Na your terms."
"Your death."
Huang Hua interjected, face twisted with malice.
"You’ve already finished refining the pills for Ning Wuyang, haven’t you?"
"That’s right!"
"I’ll give you one more chance: Make one supre pill each for and Huang Hua, and this wood is yours!"
"We’ll even let you leave!"
Huangfu Qing acted as if he were magnanimous, as though the white family incident had never happened.
A glint of mockery flashed across Xu Yang’s eyes. As if Huangfu Qing and Huang Hua could be so generous?
They just hadn’t given up—they desperately wanted those supre pills!
Especially as he ntioned them, the savageness in Huang Hua’s eyes softened into greed and hungry hoping!
Anyone who knows the effects of supre-grade pills can hardly resist such temptation!
Xu Yang wanted that Reviving Purple Fla Wood even more!
"Deal!"
Huangfu Qing was montarily startled, not expecting Xu Yang to agree so readily.
But recalling the Comrce Association’s tip, he grew curious—just how beautiful is that woman nad Su Yun?
Even made this guy so besotted!
"Who’d have thought you were such a romantic—risking life and limb at Wuhou Hall for Bai Jingxue, now yet another woman appears." Huangfu Qing praised, but his eyes brimd with teasing ridicule.
All for a woman?
Ha, how foolish!
"Xu Yang, I’m warning you: Don’t try anything. Or you’ll beg for life, but find only death!" Huang Hua threatened viciously.
"A loser dares spout such nonsense?" Xu Yang retorted icily, showing Huang Hua no respect whatsoever!
"You want to die?"
Huang Hua flew into a rage and made to advance, but Huangfu Qing pulled him back.
"Huang Hua, do you still want your pill?"
Huang Hua suppressed his anger, glaring fiercely at Xu Yang, inwardly thinking: Just wait until I get that pill—I’ll kill you!
Then, the middle-aged man behind them suddenly clenched his palm toward the air!
Swoosh!
The periphery void space twisted violently, rippling suddenly.
Waves of purple spirit light surged up, instantly enveloping several hundred feet all around!
Huangfu Qing looked proud, coldly announcing: "This is the Small Circulation Trapping Dragon Array of our Wuhou Hall!"
"Within the array, the place is like a secret realm, sealed off from outside; even a late-stage Myriad Phenona Realm master would struggle to break it!"
"Behave, refine the pills, don’t try any tricks—afterward, I’ll let you go!"
Huang Hua’s face showed smugness—no matter your skills, what use now?
"A woman drew you out here—hmph, idiot!"
Xu Yang acted as if he hadn’t heard, calmly scanning the periphery’s spiritual light.
Anyone with half a mind could tell Huangfu Qing’s words were nonsense!
But he didn’t care at all!
"Where are the ingredients?"
"At least three sets!"
