Chapter 97: The Wen Family in the Northern Territory
As for the flying monsters, countless of them died of exhaustion along the way.
Now, we have finally reached Yaozong, but such trouble has occurred...
Elder Wen Shisan thought of Mu Nanyue, especially since he could not find out her level of cultivation, and he sighed slightly in his heart.
As he walked, he sent a message back to the Wen family, asking the head of the family to secretly investigate Mu Nanyue's identity so that they could deal with it more easily in the future.
……
Baoling Pavilion, inside the box.
"Of course you can take advantage of others' misfortune!" Guan Xiangheng sat opposite her with a look of surprise on his face.
"Look at what you said." Mu Nanyue raised her eyebrows and did not admit it, "What do you mean by taking advantage of someone's misfortune? I am not short of spiritual stones. If the Wen family wants the Night Grass to save their lives, they must pay an equal price, right?
Besides, I may not be able to find holy herbs when I enter the secret realm."
Guan Xiangheng: "..."
Who believes?
Chu Xianzhi: “…”
Master has her reasons for doing this.
Seeing that Mu Nanyue was still acting cute after getting the advantage, Guan Xiangheng curled his lips and said, "You are so talkative."
The three of them had a peaceful dinner and strolled around the night market before returning to Guan's house.
Not long after, Mu Nanyue received a bunch of gifts again. Chu Xianzhi also benefited from his master's help and received several high-level skills and rare holy-level talismans.
It’s still a speed-related one, used to save lives.
Chu Xianzhi was depressed in his heart, but his face remained calm. He bowed slightly and said to Guan Xiangheng, "Thank you, Senior Guan."
Guan Xiangheng chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Then you go out first. I have something to tell your master."
After these words were spoken, Chu Xianzhi paused and subconsciously looked at Mu Nanyue. He suddenly hoped that his master would not agree.
However, seeing that his master nodded to him, Chu Xianzhi could not help but clench his hands, lowered his eyes slightly, and replied in a low voice, "Yes."
When he turned to leave, he considerately closed the door, but instead of going back to the room, he sat down at the door, looking like a gatekeeper.
Chu Xianzhi's face was gloomy, with inexplicable emotions surging in his eyes, dark and unclear.
"The secret realm of the five major families in the Northern Territory was entered together with the royal family. None of those guys are easy to mess with. You must be careful when you follow them in this time. Don't fall into their trap."
As Guan Xiangheng spoke, he walked towards the cabinet in the room, then took out two jars of wine and placed them in front of Mu Nanyue.
"Try it? This is peach blossom wine brewed with spiritual fluid. It has a strong aroma and tastes great. I'm sure you won't dislike it."
Mu Nanyue chuckled, opened it and put it in front of her nose to sniff. A light flashed in her dark eyes, "You are really good at hiding. I have never seen you take out such a good thing before."
Guan Xiangheng chuckled.
He sat down opposite Mu Nanyue and asked casually, "By the way, what are you going to do in the future? How can you still endure Meng Huaiqian treating you like this?"
Mu Nanyue was really generous to let Meng Huaiqian and that woman have such fun!
"Don't pay attention to them. They won't be able to jump around for long." When Mu Nanyue said this, a dark light flashed in her eyes.
She has now reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation. At this rate, she will be able to get rid of Meng Huaiqian and Hua Jinrong within ten years.
If she encountered another opportunity, or received inheritance from a senior, the time it would take to recover to the peak of her cultivation could be reduced by at least half.
Anyway, she can get along with everything on equal terms.
Even the way of heaven cannot hurt her. In this case, Mu Nanyue plans to be bolder. After entering the secret realm, she will provoke both those who can and those who cannot be provoked.
Bring her what she wants. Seeing Mu Nanyue so confident, Guan Xiangheng raised his eyebrows, "If you need help, just let me know. I don't think I will practice in seclusion in the future."
Thirty years ago, he was in seclusion for cultivation and missed a lot of things, which led to Mu Nanyue being isolated and helpless in the Huanling Sect at that time.
It won’t happen again in the future.
"Thank you." Mu Nanyue smiled lightly and did not refuse. She felt a little touched in her heart.
It can be said that she and Guan Xiangheng knew each other through fighting, and before meeting Meng Huaiqian, the two had already become good friends.
However, because Meng Huaiqian was unhappy, he repeatedly said that Guan Xiangheng was unreliable.
Mu Nanyue was afraid that the two would have another conflict, and she would be away from home to gain experience for the next few hundred years, so apart from keeping a distance from Guan Xiangheng and contacting him occasionally, they had very few opportunities to meet.
Especially when Guan Xiangheng was in seclusion to improve his cultivation, the two had no chance to meet.
When they met again now, Mu Nanyue thought that everything and everyone had changed, but Guan Xiangheng remained the same.
Mu Nanyue felt inexplicably relieved that she didn't miss too much.
Under Guan Xiangheng's guidance, Mu Nanyue traveled almost all over Yehua City, whether it was the bustling market, the underground fighting arena, the ghost market, etc.
During this trip, Mu Nanyue kept Chu Xianzhi with her, allowing him to come into contact with and get to know various practitioners.
This kid went out to gain experience, but he just buried his head in the monster forest. However, the world outside is not as simple as he thought.
In the future, Chu Xianzhi still has a lot to learn, so Mu Nanyue takes him with her wherever she goes except when sleeping.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been half a month.
Mu Nanyue, dressed in a black dress, was saying goodbye to Guan Xiangheng and preparing to go to the Wen family in the Northern Territory.
"You're leaving so soon, you little heartless bastard. Please keep in touch with me more often in the future."
Outside the gate of Yehua City, Guan Xiangheng, dressed in a red robe, looked reluctant as he stared at Mu Nanyue's bright and delicate eyes.
She had delicate features, and her skin looked even smoother under the sunlight. The gentle smile on her face made him lose his mind for a moment.
"We'll see each other again." Mu Nanyue couldn't stand his reluctant look, as if she was going to abandon him.
Guan Xiangheng curled his lips and said nothing.
Mu Nanyue smiled and whispered softly, "Go back, I will keep you informed of the news about the Ice Phoenix Egg."
Guan Xiangheng nodded, and his pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes stared at the figure that was getting farther and farther away until it turned into a small black dot and disappeared on the horizon. He did not look away.
After a long while, Guan Xiangheng sighed softly, "It seems that I have no chance again."
It was obvious that he was the first to know Mu Nanyue, but Meng Huaiqian got there first. Now that he finally had another chance, he suddenly realized that he was still a step too late.
Guan Xiangheng looked up at the sky with lifeless eyes and sighed for himself.
He just felt extremely depressed.
"The Wuzhong Secret Realm is only opened once every five hundred years. It is rich in resources and only the royal family and several major clans can enter. I wonder who will be able to get the opportunity and soar to the sky this time!"
"I guess it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is very powerful. He was in the late Nascent Soul stage at the age of 25. The proud sons of the noble families are nothing in front of him."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the eldest son of the Wen family advanced in cultivation some time ago, and is now also in the late Nascent Soul stage."
"It's going to be exciting this time."
The opening of the Wuzhong Secret Realm is the most talked about thing in the Northern Territory recently.
