Chapter 94 - Brother, Do Your Best

On the mountain road outside Duchun City, a two-horse carriage drove slowly.

In the carriage, a girl in a black dress rested her head on the shoulder of the handsome young man next to her, with her eyes closed while mumbling something from time to time. Who knew what kind of sweet dream she was having.

When the coachman saw that they were not far from the city gate, having nothing better to do, he started chatting. "Young Immortal Master, you see, this is Ducheng City. In two months, the Dragon House on Immortal Mountain will hold the Dragons' Convention, which takes place once every five years. It will be very lively then."

"Uh-huh." Ye Anping answered.

"I heard that this time, Master Li is celebrating his 1200th birthday and will be putting the famous Dragon House sword, Split the Sky, as the first prize reward. I don't know if it's true or not. When I was young, I heard that Split the Sky killed a giant snake with nine heads, but I don't know if I will be able to see the sword in my lifetime."

Ye Anping chuckled. "Dragon House Master Li Feng is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul and has already lived to be 1,200 years old, so that's pretty much it. Maybe this birthday party will turn out to be a waste of time."

The coachman smiled awkwardly and shook his head. "Young Master, what you said is right... I don't even know what to say."

"It's okay if you don't say anything. If I were you, I would flee from this place with my whole family, wife, and children in the next few days. When their life span comes to an end, most cultivators will desperately want to survive at any cost..."

Startled, the coachman turned and glanced at Ye Anping in horror, then stopped talking.

Ye Anping, who had no intention of continuing to talk to him, put his elbows on the windowsill of the carriage and looked up at the cloud-surrounded Immortal Palace at the top of the Dragon Mountain, at the same time, reviewing his plan in his mind.

In about half a month, Si Xuanji will send Xiao Yunluo to the Dragon House on her behalf to celebrate Master Li Feng's birthday and attend the Dragons' Convention.

As Ye Anping told the coachman just now, when a person knew they were about to die, fear would fuel their will to survive.

In such a situation, the Demon Sect sent a disciple to find Li Feng, claiming that he could use the sect's secret blood sacrifice method to prolong his life, and also offered him a seat as an elder of the Demon Sect.

And then... Li Feng gladly fell into the demons' trap.

Perhaps even Si Xuanji did not expect that this friend, who had been her drinking buddy for more than 800 years, would choose to betray her and the Immortal Family in the end.

That was the cause of the Dragon House incident.

This incident was different from the previous Seven Slayers Sect issue.

In the game, this incident was solved by Feng Yu Die alone, and the players followed her standpoint of fishing in troubled waters.Read latest ovls at nv/e/l/bi(.)com

So, it only made sense for Ye Anping to stay out of the situation and let Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo handle it.

But the problem now was that the bond between Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo was nowhere near as strong as it should be at this point in the game.

Ye Anping felt that if there were only the two of them, this matter might end badly.

And...

After the last talk with Si Xuanji, Ye Anping re-examined himself.

He had always felt that neither he nor Pei Lianxue were the kind of broad-minded people willing to bear the burdens of the dwellers of the Three Realms.

But maybe he could try to be such a person now.

It's not a good habit to have the ability but still do nothing but show off.

Feng Yu Die might be able to solve this incident on her own, but his participation could definitely lead to a better outcome.

Of course, the prerequisite for his participation was that...

He and his sister wouldn't have to take any risks.

Ye Anping turned his head to look at the girl leaning on his shoulder and gently pushed away the strands of hair stuck to her cheeks.

If someone asked him to choose between the lives of 100,000 people and the life of his sister, he would choose his sister without hesitation.

And if he was asked to choose between his own life and the life of his sister, he would not hesitate to snuff the question in its cradle by killing anyone who might raise this question.

"Oooh~~" Pei Lianxue opened her eyes in a daze, and seeing Ye Anping looking at her, she stilled and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just feeling a little emotional. The ugly little girl who used to cry a lot has now grown up and is so beautiful."

Pei Lianxue blushed, thought for a while, and then said, "That ugly kid with a runny nose who liked to bully me is also good-looking now that he's grown up."

Ye Anping shook his head helplessly. "Sleep some more. There's going to be a fight later."

"Uhm..."

...

Duchun City, Jiang Mansion.

A middle-aged woman wearing colorful clothes was sitting on the main seat in the main hall.

Standing next to her was a man in black with a stern face. The man was in the late stage of the Foundation Building and looked like a statue, with his hands folded on his abdomen.

The middle-aged woman was named Hua Qinyu and was the leader of a branch of the Dragon Slayer Society. She was in the early stages of the Foundation Building. After the death of Jiang Tianfeng, the leader of the Dragon Slayer Society, she temporarily took over the leading role and presided over the Society on his behalf.

Hua Qinyu glanced around at the various branch masters and grimaced. "About ten days ago, I received a letter from Young Master Jiang Yu, stating that he would return to the Jiang Mansion in the near future to assume the position of Young Master. But the young master is still young now, only sixteen years old. Therefore, all branch leaders' reports will be checked by me first when submitted. Do you have any objections?"

As soon as this statement was made, everyone was in an uproar.

A man with a scar on his face stood up, pointed at Hua Qinyu, and asked, "Madame Hua, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? I don't mean anything..." Hua Qinyu smiled slightly. "I am just thinking about the overall situation of the Dragon Slayer Society. After all, when Mr. Jiang passed away, I was asked to take charge of it."

"Now that the young master is back, he should take over as the leader of the Society." Scarface looked at her fiercely and cursed. "Even if he is young, the young master should be assisted by our branch masters together. You're saying to give the reports to you first? How dare you!!"

"Yes, Madame Hua, we are following Master Jiang, not you."

Seeing everyone getting angry, Hua Qinyu glanced at the man in black beside her.

Immediately, the man took a step forward.

Among a group of people in the early and middle stages of Foundation Building, the man's cultivation almost in the Core Formation stage stood out in the crowd. As soon as his spiritual power was released, everyone shut their mouths in an instant.

Only one of the branch masters bit the bullet and said, "Senior Liang, you are an outsider, and this is an internal matter of our Dragon Slayer Society. Please..."

The man in black glanced at him and interrupted. "I took Madame Hua's spirit stones."

"Ah, this..." the man paused and hurriedly said, "I will pay you twice as much as she did, what do you say, Senior Liang?"

The man in black hesitated for a while and turned to look at Hua Qinyu. Seeing this, Hua Qinyu said quickly, "Senior Liang, this is not okay... You accepted my spirit stones first. If you break the professional rules, your reputation will be ruined. For a mere two thousand spirit stones, it's not worth it."

The man in black nodded, looked back at the man, and raised his eyebrows. "Well... that's how it is."

The person who had clamored to give him "twice as much" instantly lost his courage and sat back down with a fearful look.

Seeing this, Hua Qinyu smiled sarcastically and said, "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was speechless.

At this moment, a servant from the Jiang Mansion rushed in and shouted cheerfully. "Ladies and gentlemen, Master Jiang Yu is back!!"

The people looked at him awkwardly and with a hint of resentment as if to scold him: Can't you read the mood in the room? Don't you see the looks we have right now?

However, Hua Qinyu stood up from the main seat as if she was pleasantly surprised. "Oh? Such a coincidence. It happens that all the branch masters are here. Go and bring Master Jiang here."

"Ah..." the servant was stunned for a moment and asked, "Shouldn't we go outside to greet the young master together?"

Hua Qinyu smiled and repeated herself. "Go and ask him to come here."

The servant looked at the other branch leaders, but seeing that no one spoke, he had no choice but to accept.

"Sure... I'm going to invite the young master to come in."
