Although the Tiannan Secret Realm is only a small secret realm opened up by the five major sects, it is not without its treasures. However, the treasures are all located at the deeper end, where dangers also lurk.
If it weren't for the Seven Absolute Formations of the Lingxiao Sect, one of the five major sects renowned throughout the cultivation world for its array formations, the entire Tiannan Secret Realm would have been destroyed long ago.
However, this also led to a complete polarization of the Tiannan Secret Realm. The outer area was ordinary, like a mortal town, but the difference was that there was a huge martial arts arena and five palaces for the five sects to rest in.
The rest were independent cultivators who came to trade after the secret realm opened, and in the center was a desert area that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The end was shrouded in an indistinct black mist.
The occasional roars sent chills down one's spine.
The Five Sects Grand Competition was still five days away from starting, and Nalan Qing from the Free and Unfettered Sect would arrive in two more days. After entering the secret realm, Qiyue immediately squeezed into the gambling game set up by Wanbaolou.
"I believe you are all very familiar with these people's situations without me having to introduce them. Before we begin today, I'd like to share some information that you may not know."
The speaker was none other than Jin Youqian, the former young master of Wanbaolou.
Upon seeing Qiyue and the others, Jin Youqian's eyes lit up for a moment, then he asked in suspense, "Do you all know about the Crimson Fire Sect?"
"Who doesn't know the Crimson Fire Sect? Isn't it just that brute sect that claims to be the number one sect below the Five Sects? I heard that the entire sect has fire spirit roots, a bunch of big, burly men who only like to refine weapons..."
"Hahahaha! That's right, that's right. I've seen female disciples of the Crimson Fire Sect before, and they were incredibly beautiful and refined!"
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one punch could kill three bulls!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is simply unprecedented. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a female cultivator existed in the world..."
The crowd burst into laughter, their mockery reaching its peak, which annoyed Qiyue.
[A group of men who judge others by their appearance.]
Xie Ji'an and the others, who were listening to Qi Yue's inner thoughts, narrowed their eyes. Junior Sister was up to something! Damn it!
Then Qiyue quickly squeezed through and stuck several fart talismans on several people.
Then they made a hasty escape.
In the blink of an eye, the entire first floor of Wanbaolou became unbearably smelly. Some people tried to escape, but Gu Xingchuan trapped the door of Wanbaolou with an array.
There was no escaping it.
Upstairs, an elderly man in black appeared next to Kim Yugyeom, and instantly a protective shield appeared around the two of them, isolating them from the stench.
Downstairs, Qiyue flicked her hand, and a small array appeared, protecting herself and her senior brothers and sisters. She crossed her arms and watched with schadenfreude as the rogue cultivators scattered like headless flies.
Looking at the instigator of everything, the old man frowned, his sharp eyes filled with displeasure, and asked Jin Youqian in a low voice, "Young Master, should we...?"
He silently made a throat-slitting gesture. Kim Yugyeom's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and his upturned peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing no emotion. Only the slightly upturned corners of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.
He waved his hand.
"No need, as long as she's happy. By the way, Uncle Duan, bring that thing here, I want to give it to her."
Duan Shu's eyes showed astonishment: "Young Master, that is a treasure that the Patriarch spent a great deal of money to find for you from the ancient battlefield. It is a treasure that can ignore the attacks of a Nascent Soul stage expert. Are you really going to give it away?"
"..." Kim Yugyeom did not answer. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his gaze swept over Uncle Duan indifferently, with a warning in his eyes.
Uncle Duan was taken aback and lowered his head.
"yes."
Downstairs, Qiyue, who had already noticed Kim Yugyeom's gaze, looked displeased.
[Look, look, what are you looking at? You're obviously up to no good.]
Cursing under her breath, Qiyue looked back without any politeness and even raised an eyebrow.
Kim Yugyeom was taken aback. Interesting. He dared to provoke them after causing trouble at Wanbaolou.
Beside them, Xie Ji'an and Song Yanzhuo's swords were already itching for a fight.
He only accepted one token from me, yet he dares to look at my junior sister like that. I really want to gouge his eyes out.
"Since you're all here, why don't you come upstairs and have a seat?" Kim Yugyeom said with a smile.
Xie Ji'an looked displeased: "Hmph, plotting something nefarious."
Song Yanzhu scoffed: "Pshaw, I don't care."
Le Luoxi looked disgusted: "Junior sister, could the little guy be interested in you? Listen to your senior sister, no man is any good."
Shangguan Fu and Yun Huai: "Tsk, they clearly have ill intentions."
Zhuo Ziyu was stunned: "Isn't this his territory? We're doomed, he's here to make us pay compensation!"
Gu Xingchuan: "Fifth Senior Brother, don't panic, I have plenty of money!"
July said shrewdly, "Since we're already here, why not take a seat? It'll save us money!"
The group paused, frowned, and then suddenly realized what was going on.
That makes sense!
Upon reaching the top floor, Kim Yu-gyeom led the group to a private room at Wanbaolou that was not open to the public. Uncle Duan quickly entered carrying a rectangular box and, at Kim Yu-gyeom's signal, placed the box in front of Qiyue.
When Qiyue opened the box, her heart skipped a beat.
Then, he calmly closed the door, his eyes no longer showing the innocent look he had when he came in: "Let's be frank, I don't think Young Master Jin is the kind of person who would give me something like this because he likes me. If you have something to say, please speak frankly."
“Miss Yue is indeed a clever person. May we have a private talk?” Kim Yugyeom’s eyes were deep.
Xie Ji'an and the others remained silent. Qi Yue watched for a while, then nodded to them, and the group left the room.
For a moment, only three people remained in the room: Uncle Duan, Qiyue, and Jin Youqian.
"Speak," Qiyue said indifferently.
Seeing Kim Yugyeom here was completely unexpected for her. In the original story, he wasn't here, and the person hosting the gambling game wasn't him, but the old man next to him.
