After Liu Xingyun finished speaking, he excused himself and left.
Because he couldn’t make a decision about this matter.
It ultimately required the intervention of the presence behind the scenes.
Xu Zii was drinking wine by himself when suddenly, he felt a gaze fall upon him.
He looked up to see a young man sitting at the top watching him.
The young man was quite handso.
Wearing a long robe with floral patterns, his hair was tightly tied back.
His eyebrows carried a hint of gloom.
"Who is that guy?" Xu Zii glanced at Bian Yue and asked.
"Mu Zhuo," Bian Yue replied with so displeasure.
Originally, Black Crow Mansion hoped for Mu Zhuo and to marry.
Because Mu Zhuo is the second son of the Mu Family.
His elder brother is Mu Qingyun, the most famous general in Fireloathing City.
If the two got married, it would be a strong alliance for both Black Crow Mansion and the Mu Family.
Yet, she didn’t like Mu Zhuo.
She would rather casually find Xu Zii from outside.
Then they could fake the marriage and when the ti was right, resolve it with a divorce letter.
"Don’t act impulsively, not before the matter is fully investigated.
Without evidence, you can’t do anything to him," Bian Yue reassured Xu Zii.
Earlier on the city wall, soone tried to push Xu Zii down.
It was Mu Zhuo causing trouble behind the scenes.
Xu Zii wasn’t worried; he didn’t regard the opponent as a threat.
"After dinner, can I visit the Scripture Pavilion at Black Crow Mansion?" Xu Zii asked.
"As long as you don’t go to the third floor, with my influence, no one will stop you," Bian Yue confidently replied.
Because the third floor is the Core Land of Black Crow Mansion.
The books stored there are not even freely accessible to Bian Yue, much less Xu Zii.
"It’s fine, I just want to check out so essays."
Xu Zii shook his head and said.
He wasn’t interested in the cultivation techniques and martial arts of Black Crow Mansion.
He just wanted to understand more about the Blazing Fla Realm.
Apart from the Ancient God’s legacy, there’s also the mysterious presence that created the Water Beast.
......
The banquet ended, and those celebrating also left in groups.
The Manor Master of Black Crow Mansion, Bian Wenzhou, sat at the head.
He coughed lightly and said, "Yue’er, let’s talk about your matter."
"Dad, we already talked about it before," Bian Yue stood up and replied.
"I don’t want to marry Mu Zhuo, I already have soone I like, and you should support that."
"You’re being unreasonable," the Second Elder imdiately scolded.
"Our Black Crow Mansion mbers can’t just marry soone unknown."
"So what?
Does the Second Elder insist that I must marry Mu Zhuo?" Bian Yue retorted.
"How about this, let’s test that young man," Bian Wenzhou suggested.
"If he passes the test, you can marry him.
If not, he will be expelled from Fireloathing City."
After Bian Wenzhou spoke, the others lowered their heads in thought.
This proposal is indeed reasonable.
Moreover, it’s the Manor Master’s decision, they couldn’t refuse.
"I agree," the Great Elder was the first to say.
"I agree too," others followed suit one after another.
Bian Yue hesitated for a mont, looking at Xu Zii.
She saw Xu Zii’s indifferent expression.
She could only ask, "How do you plan to test him?"
"It’s simple," Bian Wenzhou said with a smile.
"Pick soone from the younger generation of Black Crow Mansion to fight him.
The result of the battle will decide."
"Is that so," others exchanged glances and agreed.
"Yue’er, go get ready," Bian Wenzhou waved his hand.
He said, "Bring him to the arena tomorrow at noon."
Bian Yue left with Xu Zii.
Other elders also began to leave gradually.
Only Bian Wenzhou remained seated, motionless.
After everyone left, Liu Xingyun ca out of the shadows and stopped in front of him.
"The road is paved, is your information accurate?" Bian Wenzhou asked again.
"Trust ," Liu Xingyun nodded.
"That guy is definitely the Great Emperor; no one among Black Crow Mansion’s younger generation can match him."
Bian Wenzhou knocked gently on the table beside him, thoughtfully.
Murmuring to himself, "It seems it’s ti to give the Mu Family a warning.
But with Mu Qingyun around, it can’t be too much."
......
After a brief chat with Bian Yue, they parted ways.
Bian Yue went to rest.
While Xu Zii was planning to continue studying the Blue-eyed Water Beast.
This was an important matter on his path to becoming a Great Saint.
Once he fully comprehended it, he could truly step into the Great Saint realm.
Nightfall deepened.
When Xu Zii awoke from his insights into the Blue-eyed Water Beast, a person silently appeared in his room.
It was because of this sudden appearance that he was forced to awaken from his insights.
It was a woman in a white robe.
The woman stood at the window, back facing him.
Her ribbons fluttered in the wind, and her black hair seed silver under the moonlight.
"Who are you?" Xu Zii asked.
"Bian Shishi, Bian Yue’s sister," the woman replied.
Xu Zii frowned.
He didn’t know her.
"Do you need sothing?"
"Just ca to see you," the woman smiled.
She faced away from Xu Zii, her face unseen, only her silhouette looked beautiful.
"See ?" Xu Zii was puzzled.
"Demon Lord, it’s been a while," Bian Shishi suddenly said.
This sentence made Xu Zii’s eyes sharpen.
The other knew him, or rather knew of him.
Yet he knew nothing about this woman.
He didn’t like feeling passive like this.
"Who are you?" Xu Zii asked again.
"I’ve already answered, Black Crow Mansion’s eldest daughter, Bian Shishi," the woman calmly replied.
"Do we know each other?" Xu Zii asked.
"We do, and we don’t."
The woman paused in silence, finally saying, "I know you, but you may not know ."
Xu Zii didn’t respond.
The woman also fell silent.
The night was beautiful, with a full moon in the sky.
Only the heat from the Blazing Fla Realm made people uncomfortable.
"Demon Lord, I heard you are seeking news of the Ancient God," Bian Shishi suddenly said.
"It seems you want to break the exile of the Ancient Demon Cave."
"You know the Ancient God?" Xu Zii asked.
"I only confird you as the Demon Lord when I heard you were looking for the Ancient God."
Bian Shishi admitted, "I don’t know the Ancient God, but there’s soone who definitely knows."
"Who?" Xu Zii quickly asked.
Bian Shishi reached out, pointing to the Blue-eyed Water Beast next to Xu Zii.
Xu Zii suddenly realized sothing but couldn’t be certain.
"Where can I find him?" Xu Zii asked again.
"I don’t know, but next ti the Water Beast attacks the city, you can try tracking them."
Bian Shishi replied, "Alright, I’ve said everything I needed to.
I’ve t my old friend, it’s ti to leave."
As she finished speaking, her silhouette vanished in the moonlight.
