"If that's the case, then I understand."

Lady Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

"Understand what?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. You don't need the money. You can stay here with me from now on. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you. Just don't scare any guests if they come over."

In the evenings, when I'm not taking customers, you can come with me anytime if you want. Like I said, it's free.

Lady Yun blinked.

"Forget it." Ye Qiu waved his hand. "I can't stay here any longer. Hiding isn't the solution. I have to face it."

By the way, anyway, thank you for helping me. Turn on your communicator, I'll transfer you some money.

"No, really, there's no need for that."

"If I say we'll change, then we must change," Ye Qiu said.

"Alright then, hey, we've met a tycoon." Lady Yun giggled.

Ye Qiu was also smiling.

Soon, he transferred 100,000 to Lady Yun.

When Lady Yun received the money, she was almost stunned: "Ten...ten thousand?"

Thank you for your kindness.

Ye Qiu waved and quickly left.

Lady Yun stared blankly at Ye Qiu's departing figure, a certain regret in her heart growing clearer and clearer. Finally, she muttered to herself, "Alas, my withered and faded body is too good for you to appreciate..."

On the other side, Ye Qiu found a mask shop, bought a mask, and changed his clothes, letting his tied-up hair fall over his shoulders.

In an instant, Ye Qiu's demeanor changed drastically, transforming from a young boy into a mature and charming middle-aged man.

Walking down the street again, Ye Qiu felt much more relaxed.

The Xuanyuan family and the Wu family are still searching for Ye Qiu.

As Ye Qiu traveled, he encountered several groups of people searching extensively, leaving no place untouched—inns, restaurants, eateries, brothels, and so on.

"Brother Ye, why don't we leave Longdu first? The energy that these two clans can wield is terrifying. It's dangerous for you to stay in Longdu."

Chu Xiaoling, who had transformed into a shadow, transmitted her voice.

"I can't leave," Ye Qiu said. "I still need to participate in the Great Dragon League."

"But..."

"No buts, you have to participate." Ye Qiu's eyes were firm.

He won't be scared away by the Xuanyuan family and the Wu family!

If he shines brightly in the Great Dragon League and then suppresses the Xuanyuan and Wu families, his prestige in the Great Dragon Dynasty will rise sharply.

At that time, I will be able to establish the Ancestral Dragon Hall more efficiently and complete the task given to me by my master.

The Celestial Realm and this Realm will eventually merge together. Ye Qiu's mission here is to lay a foundation first and prevent any unforeseen changes in the future.

Ye Qiu never forgot this point, and seeing that the opportunity was approaching, he would not give up.

"Xiao Ling, what are the strongest people in the Xuanyuan family and the Wu family, respectively?" Ye Qiu asked.

"The strongest person in the Xuanyuan family is the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Chen, who is said to be at the Spirit Realm and is extremely powerful."

"The strongest member of the Wu family is also at this level," Chu Xiaoling said.

"Is the Spirit Realm very strong?" Ye Qiu asked.

“Very strong, extremely strong.” Chu Xiaoling said, “This realm is called the Spiritual Connection Realm, which means that a Dao Spirit is born in the Dharma Cave. The Dao Spirit is evolved from the essence of the Great Dao. One’s own primordial spirit is connected with the Dao Spirit, so the combat power is naturally incomparable.”

By the way, this realm is generally called the Dharma King Realm or the Venerable Realm. Looking across the Great Dragon Dynasty, there are nearly two billion humans, but no more than thirty can reach this realm. That means only one or two out of a hundred million cultivators will achieve this?

"Are there any who have surpassed the Venerable Realm?" Ye Qiu asked again.

“Beyond the Venerable One, that is a True God. I don’t know if our Great Dragon Dynasty has True Gods, but we definitely have Half-Step True Gods. They are truly transcendent beings who stand at the pinnacle of the Great Dragon Cultivation World,” Chu Xiaoling said.

"I understand." Ye Qiu said thoughtfully.

From Divine Seal, Cave Technique, Venerable One, to True God Realm.

These realms together form the pyramid of the Great Dragon Dynasty.

Looking at it this way, I realize that I am not far from the Venerable Realm. Once I reach the Venerable Realm, I will no longer fear powerful clans like the Xuanyuan and Wu families.

Going a step further, one can roam freely among the great dragons and set one's sights on the even wider Celestial Realm.

"Brother Ye, where are we going next?" Chu Xiaoling asked.

"Buy a house," Ye Qiu said.

"Huh?" Chu Xiaoling exclaimed in surprise, "Houses in Longdu are very, very expensive."

"I'm so poor I only have money left," Ye Qiu chuckled.

He had barely spent the money Wang Xiaocao gave him, and it came in handy now.

Over the next two days, the Xuanyuan and Wu families continued their frantic search for Ye Qiu, while Ye Qiu had already spent 13 million to buy a mansion, which he named Ancestral Dragon Mansion.

This name wasn't chosen randomly; Ye Qiu had long-term plans for it.

Zulong Mansion is located in the suburbs of Longdu, a relatively quiet area. It is right next to Guanlong Lake, where mountains stand at intervals. The lake water surrounds the mountains, and birds fly around, creating a picturesque scene that attracts many tourists every day.

Ye Qiu loved the scenery here, which is why he spent a lot of money to buy the mansion here.

Upon entering the mansion, Ye Qiu removed his mask, opened his arms, and took a deep breath towards the lake. The fresh air refreshed him.

Chu Xiaoling also appeared, standing beside Ye Qiu with a bright smile: "Brother Ye, this place is so beautiful. If I could live here peacefully for the rest of my life, it would seem like a very good choice."

"That depends on who you're with," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"With you," Chu Xiaoling blurted out, "let's have a bunch of kids, preferably a dozen or so, hey, that'll be lively."

"Huh?" Ye Qiu exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Ling, can you really have so many children?"
