"What kind of potion is that? What’s its effect?" Qhianqhian blinked, with a fawning expression, following Yan.
Huangfu Yihui lagged two steps behind, turned his head to look at Chen Yao, who looked dazed, and shook his head gently, feeling that Chen Yao was sohow cursed by misfortune.
Qhianqhian is indeed a Water Spiritual Body, but at the sa ti, she isn’t soone the Flower Sect can afford to provoke.
Not long after they left, a pair of girls in red appeared, precisely the twins from earlier.
"Young Master, Young Master!" The two looked at Chen Yao, who showed no unusual expression but felt strange, and in the next second, they helped him up and took him back to their residence.
The Flower Sect, though not as renowned as the Snow Palace, still had a good reputation, and naturally, they wouldn’t lack places to stay.
But who would’ve thought that after the trio returned, they would bring such great disaster to the Flower Sect.
Yan heard Qhianqhian’s question but simply smiled intriguingly: "That? Just a small thing."
So what is it exactly?
Qhianqhian was full of doubts but could get no answers. After returning to the ’Stationed Place,’ Haan Yun asked curiously, "Is it fun? Why are you back so early?"
Hua Nianyi also wore a curious expression, watching Qhianqhian intently.
"Just so-so, but you might like it." She smiled at Haan Yun, recalling what Yan said earlier, Haan Yun isn’t...
After all, given his Royal Family background, it’s not surprising, is it?
"You might like it?" Hua Nianyi looked at Haan Yun, puzzled and full of curiosity: "What does Brother Yun like?"
Haan Yun slightly furrowed his brows and, pulling Hua Nianyi, smiled and said, "I like you."
Old Master Hua imperceptibly rolled his eyes but still smiled at Qhianqhian: "Didn’t Miss Shiqi go to take a guess or two? Striking it rich overnight isn’t just a dream."
Qhianqhian shrugged; it seed that she was already in a wealthier state, even if it was by robbing Haan Yun.
Having so much money without the strength is courting trouble; her life might not be safe. Haan Yun handing it over was a wise decision, and giving it to Qhianqhian in exchange for his beloved was a kind of compensation.
"If it weren’t for my identity, I’d really want to go see it." Hua Nianyi showed so yearning on her face, giving Qhianqhian a slight smile: "But now it’s also quite good, just sotis it feels like we have no fixed place."
"Uh, actually, I wanted to ask before, why don’t you find a place to settle down; what do you do in the forest all day?" Qhianqhian cuddled a small black cat in her arms, feeding it beef chunks.
In the vast forest, with no cabins or protection, danger could arise at any mont, possibly from animals or humans. After all, dealing with a Spiritual Beast isn’t sothing ordinary people can handle.
"Shiqi, that’s not how you say it. Didn’t we agree to earn money together?" Haan Yun blinked, looking surprised and as if shocked.
The reason he hadn’t changed places was just waiting for cooperation, right? How would he collaborate after leaving?
"You must settle down first so I can tell my family how to find you. Do you plan on entering the Nine Heavens Pavilion?" Qhianqhian slightly furrowed her brows; although she liked Hua Nianyi, she hadn’t forgotten that Old General Hua was from the Snow Palace. No matter what, anyone associated with the Snow Palace wouldn’t enter the Nine Heavens Pavilion, even though Haan Yun harbored a deep-seated hatred against the Snow Palace.
Looking at Qhianqhian’s expression, Haan Yun understood her concerns.
Obviously, compared to friends t by chance, she would worry more about her family. So, her choices were justifiable.
"Where are you heading next?" After a mont of silence, Haan Yun directly asked.
Yan shrugged, holding a cup of wine, observing the liquid through a ray of sunlight filtering through the trees: "My original plan is gone; I’ll stick with Shiqi for now. After all, being with Shiqi ans having wine to drink."
Qhianqhian felt speechless but still looked at Huangfu Yihui.
She actually had no plan, other than going to the real world in a few months.
This period mainly focused on stable cultivation.
Huangfu Yihui saw Qhianqhian’s questioning look, nodded, and chuckled: "I have no opinion either, let’s travel together then."
"..." Could Qhianqhian say she was asking for recomndations, not whether they should split up?
"What’s the most bustling place in the Northern Region?" Qhianqhian blinked, looking like she had an epiphany: "If it’s the most bustling, there should be comrcial developnt potential."
Haan Yun rolled his eyes: "The largest country in the Northern Region is ours, and the largest city is our Imperial City. So where do you say is the most bustling place?"
Old General Hua laughed and offered a different opinion: "It should be the edge of the region, Central City."
"Huh?" Haan Yun looked at Old Master Hua in disbelief; in all his years of business, he had never heard of this place.
"Oh? Haan Yun hasn’t heard of it, which suggests it’s not that simple, right?" Qhianqhian slightly furrowed her brows, noticing the confusion on Haan Yun’s face.
Huangfu Yihui gently ran his fingers through his hair, wrapping it around a finger before releasing it, watching as his smooth hair curled and then said slowly: "Central City, as the na implies, lies at the center of the entire continent. It’s the largest city on the continent, a free land, not under the jurisdiction of the four regions, a nation unto itself where the strong are honored, life and death determined by fate—a place longed for by criminals and a purgatory on earth."
Yan nodded, adding: "To enter Central City, one must traverse the surrounding forest, cross the moat, and pay a hefty fee. However, everything’s indeed available inside, a paradise for the strong."
"In such a place, I wouldn’t dare let my Second Uncle go." Qhianqhian rolled her eyes, but her eyes sparkled with interest. Everything’s available? A paradise for the strong? Why do I suddenly want to set up a stall there?
Yan lightly smiled: "But, on the way to Central City from here, there’s another prosperous city called Gold Scale City, which suits our current needs. Gold Scale City is the Imperial City of Northern Region’s Haoyue Kingdom, which values culture, so Old General Hua wouldn’t be too familiar with it either."
"Gold Scale City? ’Black clouds crush the city; the city’s about to collapse. Armored radiance shining on gold scales,’ ’Gold scales are not objects in the pond; upon eting the storm, they transform into dragons,’ such a na belies a heart that values culture." Qhianqhian seemingly disagreed, shrugging: "Speaking of which, I also love peace, don’t I? But when it’s ti to act, who cares if one violates their own principles?"
Huangfu Yihui’s eyes flashed with a hint of amazent, feeling the entire aura of Gold Scale City was different.
"If you say so, then does Haoyue still harbor such an elevated aspiration?" Yan’s expression didn’t change; he smiled at Qhianqhian: "Seeing your usual deanor, I didn’t expect our Shiqi to be a talented woman?" His deanor was full of appreciation.
