An Rong'er raised her head and said, "Miss Yu, it's time to pack up and go."

Qi Yu nodded and said, "Let's go."

Following An Rong'er to the courtyard of the escort agency, An Yao and several other employees were already waiting there.

Five tall horses were pulling a magnificent carriage in the courtyard. Amazingly, each of these horses had a pair of wings on its back.

Upon seeing these elegant creatures, two words automatically popped into Qi Yu's mind.

Pegasus.

An Yao pointed to the horses and said, “Miss Yu, the journey from Wu City to Yue City is long, and our escort agency’s flying artifacts cannot support such a distance. After weighing the options, the Heavenly Horses can run and fly, and their speed is no less than that of flying artifacts. They also allow you to sit in a comfortable carriage, making them a better choice. What do you think, Miss Yu?”

Qi Yu stepped forward and gently stroked the white Pegasus with its head held high the most.

The white Pegasus lowered its head and affectionately nuzzled her hand.

This beautiful and elegant creature really appealed to her. Qi Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I like it very much."

An Yao also laughed and said, "It seems that Fei Yun really likes Miss Yu. My Rong'er tried to touch her before, but she was kicked."

An Rong'er, who was standing far away from Fei Yun, darkened her face and said, "He's just a beast that can be ridden by anyone, what's so great about him!"

Feiyun seemed to understand her words, and with a thud, he was about to ride towards An Rong'er.

When An Rong'er saw Fei Yun coming, she was so frightened that she quickly ran several meters away, but she was still cursing under her breath.

An Yao quickly pulled Fei Yun back, frowning as he scolded An Rong'er: "Rong'er, the more you act like this, the less favor you will receive from spirit beasts. You still need to change your temper."

An Rong'er looked away, glaring fiercely at Qi Yu with resentment.

Feiyun was originally a contracted spirit beast that An Yao had prepared for her, but when she first touched Feiyun, Feiyun would glare at her and refuse to let her touch it. In her haste, she forced herself to climb onto Feiyun's back, but Feiyun threw her off and almost kicked her to death.

But this beast is now fawning over a woman who is terribly ugly!

This is a complete slap in the face for her!

An Rong'er grew angrier the more she thought about it, wishing she could chop Fei Yun up and make horse meat sandwiches to eat.

Feeling An Rong'er glaring at her, Qi Yu pouted.

That familiar smell... After being expelled from the Spirit Academy, An Rong'er indeed showed no remorse and remained just as repulsive.

However, she is no longer Qi Yu, but a guest of their family's security company, and only needs to stay quietly in the carriage.

Adding the points she received yesterday from distributing money at the old house in the south of the city, she only has twenty-five points left. It's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

"Miss Yu, please get in." An Yao raised his hand and invited Qi Yu to sit in the carriage behind Fei Yun.

Qi Yu climbed onto the carriage, where many soft cushions were laid out, and the overall environment satisfied her.

An Yao gave a shout, and the Pegasus began to run slowly before flying directly into the sky.

Qi Yu opened the carriage window and watched as the buildings of Wucheng gradually became smaller and smaller.

...

At Lingyuan, several celestial horses in the sky caught everyone's attention.

"Look! Isn't that a Pegasus?"

"It's so beautiful, I want to contract a spirit beast like that too."

"To be able to bring out so many heavenly horses to pull the cart at once, that's quite a generous gesture."

Xu Shengsheng raised her head and watched the Pegasus fly higher and higher, feeling a sense of loss for some reason.

My sister is dead, my senior brother Mu Luo is missing, and even the hated Qi Yu is dead.

His past rivalry with Qi Yu now seems like a joke in the face of life and death.

Monster...

She was somewhat distracted, but eventually looked back and picked up her sword to continue slashing.

Wu Qianqian stood in the courtyard, glanced at the Pegasus flying by, and then looked around at the empty houses.

She, Qi Yu, Gou Dan, Zhu Que, and Zhu Yu, who was temporarily staying in this courtyard, lived there.

But now...

Qi Yu faked her death and left Wucheng. Gou Dan was injured and awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline. He was taken away by Zhu Que and Zhu Yu of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom royal family.

She was left all alone.

Wu Qianqian sighed and went into the room.

...

Qi Yu, inside the carriage, closed the small window and began to sort through the available information.

As one of the two most prestigious sects in the cultivation world, the Flying Star Sect is located next to Moon City in the White Tiger Kingdom.

The Flying Star Sect has two main peaks, thirty-six smaller peaks, and countless cave dwellings. In addition to the two main cultivation paths of alchemy and weapon crafting, it also encompasses a wide variety of cultivation paths such as sword cultivation, body cultivation, talisman master, spirit plant master, array master, beast tamer, divination master, and so on, for the disciples of the Flying Star Sect to choose from.

There are only three months left until the Flying Star Sect's recruitment ceremony. Whether or not she can successfully enter the Flying Star Sect, she is going to give it a try.

As one of the two major sects in the cultivation world, its resources must be extremely abundant.

The Flying Star Sect's recruitment ceremony is divided into two types based on the cultivation level of the participants.

For those who have never cultivated before, the first step is to test their spiritual roots. If their spiritual root aptitude is above five, meaning they are capable of cultivating immortality, they have passed the first hurdle. If their aptitude is exceptional, they have a certain chance of being selected by an elder as a personal disciple. Others who are not selected start as outer disciples.

Then, independent cultivators, or other cultivators without a sect who come from the Spirit Academy, can participate in the Flying Star Sect's secret realm trial after their spiritual roots have been tested. The elders of the Flying Star Sect will then select whether to accept them as disciples.

However, in the cultivation world today, cultivators tend to prefer taking on the first type of disciple, since those who have personally trained their disciples tend to have a deeper bond with them.

Therefore, the second type of selection is more stringent. If one's aptitude and temperament are not good, and no elder takes a liking to them, then one has failed to pass the Flying Star Sect's recruitment ceremony.

The Flying Star Sect recruits disciples every seven years, and the trials in the secret realm are different each time. It is unknown what this time will be like.

Qi Yu pressed her temples and let out a weary breath.

The Foundation Establishment stage is very different from the Qi Refining stage. Since she broke through the Qi Refining stage and entered the Foundation Establishment stage, her absorption of spiritual energy during cultivation has been more than ten times slower.

Three months later, it remains to be seen whether she will be able to advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, thus increasing her chances of passing the secret realm test.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently as if it had hit something.

Qi Yu gripped the carriage wall, her eyebrows furrowed.

As expected, Chu Mo had not left yet.

An Yao roared to stop the celestial horses. He opened the carriage, holding a pair of giant golden axes in his hands, and with a gust of wind, he prevented her from falling into the air.

"Who is it!"

He vaguely guessed that this was the Golden Core stage "enemy" that Yu Shengyan had mentioned, so he quietly stood guard beside Qi Yu's carriage.

"My name is An Yao of Wucheng, with the double axes and the cultivation level of Golden Core. Today I am escorting an important person out of the city. I hope you will not interfere with my business."

A soft laugh echoed through the air, and a young man standing on a longsword appeared.

“I did not mean to disrupt your business, it’s just that…”

"My mischievous little sister insisted on hiding from me, so I had no choice but to bring her back."
