Chapter 293 The Mysterious Manor with Abundant Fortune

Li Rou grew up in a farming family and worked hard all her life. Later, she was sold to the Yu family to work as a lowly maid, where she also had no freedom.

It wasn't until he followed Yu Zhiyi that he finally had the chance to see the outside world.

However, this is limited to the world around Yu Zhiyi.

She was unfamiliar with the affairs of the martial arts world, and had always longed to experience them.

Although the Marquis of Wu'an and his companions were men, they had never had the opportunity to interact with martial arts practitioners, let alone witness such a grand martial arts event.

Upon learning that they could go and broaden their horizons, the group exchanged glances, all seeing the same excitement in each other's eyes.

Regardless of their feelings when they left Beijing, they have now completely adapted to this task.

They were even quite fortunate to have this opportunity.

The knowledge they gained along the way was incomparable to what they could gain from their monotonous patrols in the capital.

Li Rou and the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an's eyes met in mid-air. They paused for a moment, then quickly looked away.

The horse racing event started in the afternoon, and the group set off without having lunch.

Yu Zhiyi still chose to ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

It wasn't that she couldn't ride a horse, but rather that Li Rou couldn't ride one.

The horse racing event was held in Juxianzhuang, which was dozens of miles away. Juxianzhuang had a large horse farm where all the horses were plump and strong.

Participants can choose to ride their own horses or borrow horses from Juxianzhuang.

However, the vast majority of martial artists choose to use their own horses, since for martial artists, besides weapons and martial arts manuals, the most important thing is horses as a means of transportation.

Anyone who can afford a horse will buy the best.

Juxian Manor is also located on a mountain, but it is not as high as the Martial Alliance.

Looking at the bustling mountain resort in front of her, Yu Zhiyi suddenly understood why some people wanted to occupy the mountain and become kings.

The Great Sheng Empire has many unexplored mountains and valleys. If you venture into these mountains, it is difficult for anyone who is not familiar with them to discover the forces hidden in the wilderness.

Moreover, living in a place free from the rules and regulations of the imperial court is both liberating and carefree.

Unlike the Heavenly Ladder of the Martial Alliance, Juxian Manor also has steps leading up from the bottom, but the steps are very gentle and do not give people a sense of danger.

Similarly, Juxianzhuang also has a winding mountain road specifically for horse-drawn carriages.

The group climbed the mountain via the winding road.

Jiang Liuyun shrewdly placed the footstools.

After getting out of the car, Yu Zhiyi habitually looked around and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Jiang Liuyun, who was very protective of his sister, was concerned about her feelings and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Yu Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise, "Such abundant spiritual energy!"

What profound good fortune!

Compared to the Martial Arts Alliance, this place seems more like the place where the leaders of the righteous path of the entire martial arts world should stay, right?

As for Mingshan, where the Martial Alliance is located...

The dense black aura left Yu Zhiyi speechless with frustration.

"Spiritual energy?" Jiang Liuyun subconsciously looked around for a while, then scratched his head: "I can't see it."

Yu Zhiyi said, "It's normal that ordinary people can't see it, but although the eyes can't see it, the body's senses can feel a kind of comfort from the soul..."

She frowned as she finished speaking.

She didn't feel the comfort of being nourished by spiritual energy and good fortune; on the contrary, she felt a little uncomfortable.

It was a feeling of resistance rising from the depths of one's soul.

She stretched out her hand and quickly did some calculations, but since it concerned herself, she couldn't figure out the reason at all.

"Sister, what happened?"

Yu Zhiyi frowned and said, "Something happened that I just can't figure out."

She was stunned when she looked up.

Jiang Liuyun was also a member of the Jiang family, so he was naturally affected by the intense malevolent energy of Mingshan.

However, ever since she put on her defensive jade pendant, that thick, dark aura of death has dissipated.

As long as he has the defensive jade pendant, unless he encounters a danger level like being pierced by ten thousand arrows, he will be fine even if he falls off a cliff.

She was quite certain that his appearance was normal before he got out of the car.

But in just a short while, that deathly aura returned.

Jiang Liuyun felt uneasy under her gaze: "Sister, what's wrong? Am I going to get into trouble later?"

He then muttered to himself, "But speaking of which, I don't know if it's because of what my sister said, but I just feel a bit uneasy..."

Yu Zhiyi was not lying: "Your facial features indicate that something bad will happen to you. With the protective jade pendant, it won't be a big problem. At most, you'll just get injured."

Jiang Liuyun: "..."

This is a big problem!

The main thing is that he has a defensive jade pendant on him!

A defensive jade pendant that can withstand twelve fatal blows!

In other words, he will suffer twelve fatal blows today?!

That's outrageous!

To be honest, if it weren't for his dearest sister saying those words, he might have thought she was a charlatan and given her a good scolding.

Knowing his sister's abilities, Jiang Liuyun panicked a little.

"Sister, what...what should I do? Do I need to perform a ritual?"

Yu Zhiyi chuckled lightly: "No problem."

As she spoke, she handed over a defensive jade pendant.

Jiang Liuyun took the jade pendant, and the deathly look on his face vanished completely.

"Sister? Were you waiting for me?"

The sudden sound made Jiang Liuyun roll her eyes.

Jiang Liubin ignored his nemesis brother and squeezed between the two of them, grinning as he said to Yu Zhiyi, "Sister, you must have come to watch my competition! Don't worry, I will definitely win first place and win the Flying Feather Bow for you!"

Jiang Liuyun rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. He sneered, "If my sister wants the Flying Feather Bow, I'll naturally win it for her. Who are you to spout nonsense here?"

Jiang Liubin was displeased: "I admit you're good at light footwork, but when it comes to horsemanship, you're a complete novice!"

Jiang Liuyun chuckled: "Wait until you win before you start spouting such big talk!"

As he spoke, he deliberately shook the defensive jade pendant in his hand before hanging it on his waist.

Although wearing two jade pendants looks a bit strange, they're defensive jade pendants given to me by my sister, so they're super classy. Who cares what those monsters think?!

Jiang Liubin: "..."

My sister will soon give him a defensive jade pendant too!

Watching the interaction between the group, Chen Xinyue couldn't help but clench her fists.

She felt deeply that her two foolish younger brothers were ungrateful wretches, having wasted all the good she had done for them over the years.

Especially Jiang Liuyun.

She took care of his mother for so many years, and he wasn't grateful at all.

Her eyes turned cold.

My younger brother is no longer useful, so... let's just abandon him.

Yu Zhiyi keenly sensed a murderous intent. She looked in the direction from which the feeling came from and saw that Chen Xinyue had already composed herself and was looking at her innocently: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Yu Zhiyi said thoughtfully, "It's nothing, I just have a feeling that someone is going to have bad luck later."

Chen Xinyue was startled.

Did this woman perhaps discover something?

Yu Zhiyi seemed to have just said something insignificant, and then walked towards Juxian Manor.

This Juxian Manor seems to be hiding a great secret.

The Jiang brothers and the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an, among others, followed them inside.

Chen Xinyue could no longer hide the resentment in her eyes.

She gripped the hidden weapon tightly. If what her mother said was true, then as long as that bitch drew blood at Juxian Manor, she would surely die today!
