The four city gates of the prefecture city were bustling with activity, and so already open tea houses, taverns, and cafes were doing brisk business.
East Market Street was equally lively,
with colorful dragons being assembled everywhere along the street.
Zhao Wuya and Yun Ziliang road around to enjoy the festivities, and when they had seen enough, they returned indoors where Zhou Xuan was diligently writing.
"Brother Xuan, writing a book again?"
Zhao Wuya asked.
"Nonsense, if not writing this, what else?" Zhou Xuan replied irritably.
"Let tell you, it’s so lively outside. Everyone’s making dragon decorations. On our street alone, there are nine dragons in total."
"Why make so many dragons?" Zhou Xuan paused his writing, took the tea handed over by Little Fuzi, and asked.
"For good fortune."
Zhao Wuya spread his palms and said, "Everyone on the street heard that tonight, Mingjiang Prefecture is going to be completely rebuilt, which is a great celebration. Since you’re a local of East Market Street, everyone’s performing dragon dances to give you so spotlight."
"With nine dragons for attention, that’s quite significant."
Zhou Xuan thought the spectacle would be rather grand.
"You deserve it. Tonight, when the reconstruction of Mingjiang Prefecture is finished, I can’t even imagine how lively our prefecture city will be."
Zhao Wuya started to fantasize.
"Tonight will likely be a night of killing."
Zhou Xuan dampened the mood, saying, "Snatching pills is one thing, but there’s another matter that is highly likely to be targeted."
"What is it?"
"Wish power."
Zhou Xuan said.
The last ti after storytelling, the dense wish power attracted the Dream Realm Heavenly God—this evening’s wish power is several tis denser than last ti,
could there be other Heavenly God Level beings coming to seize this wish power?
"So tonight won’t be peaceful?" Zhao Wuya asked.
"It would be nice if it were peaceful." Yun Ziliang returned to the room at this mont and said to Zhao Wuya, "When a treasure of the world appears, there are bound to be those competing and fighting for it. When the Twin Fish appeared, nurous formidable figures with nine incense sticks converged there,
Tonight’s Ping Shui Prefecture is likely to be just as Xuanzi imagines—a night of killing."
Just as Yun Ziliang finished speaking, another person entered the shop, none other than Si Yuer, whom they hadn’t seen in a long ti.
"Brother Xuan, you’ve lost weight recently."
Si Yuer placed two baskets of snacks on the table, and Zhao Wuya didn’t stand on ceremony, unwrapping them to eat.
"Rude!" Yun Ziliang imdiately chastised him: "Don’t you know to offer one to your grandmaster?"
"..." Zhao Wuya.
Si Yuer’s unexpected remark amused the master-apprentice duo.
Zhou Xuan then greeted Si Yuer and talked about her father, Si Ming, saying, "Yuer, how’s Master Si doing lately?"
"Oh, he’s doing great."
"Master Si isn’t upset with , right?" Zhou Xuan asked again.
"Upset with you, why would he be upset?" Si Yuer was a little puzzled.
Zhou Xuan said, "That Divine Stealer’s divine status, I gave it to King Xishan to establish the Hu Sect. From then on, your Divine Stealer Si Family is no longer a Heavenly Do Gods level Tangkou. I’m afraid Master Si can’t co to terms with it."
"Oh dear, Brother Xuan, you’re overthinking it. My dad has completely co to terms with it. He says he’s just not cut out for cultivation, and the Divine Stealer Hall hasn’t produced a genius in years. The so-called God-level Tangkou is just a na,
Ultimately, we Divine Stealers still live at the rcy of the ’Bone Good Association.’"
My dad said that since that piece of divine status is gone, it’s just one less burden. When the hall produces another genius, cultivates the ’Stealing Celestial Secret’ with nine incense sticks, we’ll just go find another Tangkou and seize a divine status back."
Si Yuer smiled again and said, "Don’t worry about my dad’s affairs, but... as for the Blood Well Society, you need to pay attention."
"What’s going on with the Blood Well Society?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"A newcor wants to join. I need your approval." Si Yuer said, "That newcor is a bit crazy, claiming he’s willing to reveal a huge secret in exchange for mbership."
"A huge secret, how huge?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"About why Yellow Field Prefecture suddenly fused with Jingchuan Prefecture." Si Yuer replied.
