The New Moon Profound Palace occupies a vast area, and the central hall is magnificent. Countless buildings of various types extend to the end of the line of sight. Yun Che followed Xia Yuanba to the residence arranged for him by Sikong Han. He met many disciples of the New Moon Profound Palace, all of whom were under the age of twenty, and occasionally fifteen or sixteen years old could be seen. Those in this age group were basically in the initial Profound Realm. Along the way, many people greeted Xia Yuanba. After all, with his age and height, it would be hard not to be famous.
“How many disciples does New Moon Profound Palace have now?” Yun Che asked.
"I remember there were more than 3,000 people." Xia Yuanba thought for a moment and said, "The age limit for New Moon Xuanfu to recruit disciples is between 15 and 18 years old. Generally, they will leave when they are 20 years old. A large number of them will join the official forces of Cangfeng in the future."
“But, brother-in-law, are you really going to attend that banquet tonight?” Xia Yuanba asked with some concern.
“I can see almost all the top forces in New Moon City at once. If I have such an opportunity, of course I have to attend.” Yun Che turned his eyes and said, “Yuan Ba, you don’t seem to want to go. Is there something wrong with this banquet?”
“It’s not really a problem, it’s just… it’s just…” Xia Yuanba hesitated for a moment, and said angrily: “I heard some time ago that when the previous Palace Master took office, he also sent out invitations and held a banquet. However, at that banquet, the disciples of the sects who were invited challenged the disciples of the same age from our New Moon Xuan Mansion under the pretext of having fun and learning from each other. In ten challenges, our New Moon Xuan Mansion lost ten games in a row, which made the previous Palace Master lose all his face. New Moon Xuan Mansion was even laughed at by the whole city for a long time because of this.”
“Haha, this is obviously the sects trying to intimidate the new palace master, letting him know who is the giant in New Moon City.” Yun Che said with a smile.
"That's right." Xia Yuanba nodded and said helplessly, "I heard that it was the same when the previous Palace Master took office. But the Palace Master cannot help but invite everyone to celebrate, otherwise he will be laughed at by others and lose even the last bit of face. It will definitely be the same this time. If we go to participate, we might be challenged by them... It doesn't matter if we are defeated, but those people often attack us maliciously. Last time, two senior brothers were beaten and crippled, and it seems that they will never be able to recover in their lifetime. The Palace Master can only swallow his anger."
“New Moon Profound Palace has a large number of disciples coming here every year. Is its strength really that weak?” Yun Che frowned.
"Of course it's not that our New Moon Xuanfu is not good, it's just that those big sects are too powerful. Although the New Moon Xuanfu was established by the royal family, those sects have a long history, and their foundation, resources, and inherited profound skills are not comparable to the New Moon Xuanfu. Even if they recruit outer disciples, the threshold is much higher than that of the New Moon Xuanfu. Moreover, those who enter the Xuanfu established by the royal family are generally those who aspire to serve the royal family in the future. The original intention of establishing the royal Xuanfu is to attract talents to join the royal forces. However, those who are extremely talented are generally arrogant and their desire to join the big sects is far greater than joining the royal forces. Therefore, the average strength of the New Moon Xuanfu disciples is better than that of the small and medium-sized sects in New Moon City, but it is not comparable to the big sects."
The situation Xia Yuanba described was actually quite normal. For Yun Che himself, although he joined the New Moon Profound Palace for some reason, it was only to find opportunities. He never thought about serving the royal family one day. He thought for a while and asked, "Who in New Moon City is more powerful than New Moon Profound Palace?"
"Well, let me think..." Xia Yuanba thought seriously for a while, and slowly said: "There are seven in total, namely Xuanxin Sect, Yunyang Sect, Iron Spear Sect, Seven Killing Sword Pavilion, and Fengyun Xuanfu." After a pause, Xia Yuanba's voice became a little cautious, "These five sects have a history of more than 500 years or even a thousand years. Their influence in Xinyue City is deeply rooted, and their comprehensive strength is better than Xinyue Xuanfu. If it weren't for the fact that Xinyue Xuanfu was established by the royal family, it might have been suppressed and squeezed out by them long ago. In addition to these five sects, there are two giants that even the royal family would never dare to provoke... They are the branches of Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Sect in Xinyue City! Although they are only branches, they have Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Sect as their backers after all, and they are the two unshakable overlords of Xinyue City."
"The branches of Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Sect?" Yun Che tapped his chin with his hand. He knew very well that although they were branches in name, they were actually just "outer sects" whose talents were too low to be worthy of staying in the main sect. However, they were formal "outer sects" after all, not completely abandoned ones like Xiao Sect.
"However, our New Moon Profound Palace is certainly not so easy to bully." Xia Yuanba patted his chest and said unwillingly: "Although the banquet five years ago made the New Moon Profound Palace lose all its dignity, but that was five years ago! Now our New Moon Profound Palace also has many geniuses, and it is definitely not worse than those sects...Ah, brother-in-law, look, that senior brother is called Li Xuhao, he is seventeen years old this year, but he is already at the third level of the Nascent Profound Realm. I heard that he inherited the family's profound skills and is very powerful."
"The one in white over there is even more powerful. I remember that his name is Xu Aoran. He is only eighteen years old, but he has already reached the fifth level of the Nascent Profound Realm! The two of them are from our class. However, the most powerful people in our New Moon Profound Palace are not them, but Senior Brother Murong and Senior Sister Xueruo, the two recognized geniuses of New Moon Profound Palace. The elders will definitely bring them to the banquet tonight. With them around, it will definitely not be like five years ago..."
At this point, Xia Yuanba's voice suddenly stopped, and in front of them, a young man in a white robe and a girl in a snow-white dress were walking side by side. The man looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an upright figure, handsome face, and a handsome face. He was a handsome man who could turn a young girl into a lovelorn man in an instant.
The girl beside him was even more beautiful. She looked about 18 or 19 years old, with a pair of beautiful eyes, cherry lips, and eyebrows like a crescent moon. The most attractive thing was the faint smile on her lips, which was as warm as incense and breeze.
The two of them were like a golden boy and a jade girl walking out of a painting. As soon as they appeared, they took away all the glory between heaven and earth. The young man kept saying something beside the girl, constantly looking at her reaction, while the girl kept smiling warmly and didn't say anything. Although she was just taking a step forward gently, it seemed as if people saw a fairy in white dancing gracefully, especially her long and white neck, which made her exude a noble and elegant hazy temperament in her beauty, as if people saw the princess who should be high up in the royal family.
“What a beautiful girl.” Yun Che exclaimed in his heart. Although her appearance could not compare to Xia Qingyue’s, she was definitely one in a million, stunningly beautiful. And the hazy and noble temperament she possessed was something Xia Qingyue could not match. What amazed Yun Che the most was the peacefulness in her eyes and expression. Generally speaking, girls who were so beautiful would have more or less arrogance, and his wife Xia Qingyue was the most typical example. But this girl had a gentle temperament, her eyes were as soft as water, and there was no trace of arrogance between her eyebrows. The natural smile at the corner of her mouth almost melted people’s hearts at a glance.
"Senior Brother Murong, Senior Sister Xueruo!"
While Yun Che was silently admiring the girl, Xia Yuanba pulled him up and took the initiative to greet her.
Murong? Xueruo? Hmm? Could these be the two people Yuanba mentioned just now... Yun Che thought in his heart.
“Junior Brother Xia, are you going back to your residence to rest?” Seeing Xia Yuanba, the girl smiled and greeted him. When her voice sounded, Yun Che suddenly felt a warm current flowing from his ears to his heart, because this voice was really too gentle and too pleasant. Simply listening to this voice was an indescribable enjoyment. When he came into close contact with her eyes, he could clearly feel how gentle and intoxicating her eyes and smile were.
The girl also looked towards Yun Che at this time and asked curiously, "Who is this..."
"Hey, he's my brother-in-law, and he just entered our Xuanzhi Mansion today. He's in the same class as us!" Xia Yuanba said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, they are Brother Murong Ye and Sister Lan Xueruo, whom I just mentioned to you. They are the most outstanding brothers and sisters in our Xinyue Xuan Mansion this year."
Yun Che took a step forward with a polite smile on his face: “Hello, senior brothers and sisters. I am Yun Che, a little brother. I have just entered Xuanzhi Mansion. I hope you will take good care of me in the future.”
Murong Ye nodded slightly as a response. His eyes lingered on Yun Che for a moment before moving away, with a deep sense of pride between his brows. There was also a hint of dissatisfaction, obviously unhappy that they had disturbed his and Lan Xueruo's "world of two people".
“Oh? You’ve also joined our class?” Lan Xueruo took a good look at Yun Che and laughed, “You look so young, but you’ve already reached the first level of the Profound Realm. No wonder Elder Sikong would snatch you into the class. If those pretty girls in the class knew that there’s such a handsome new junior brother, they would be so happy. Junior brother, you must be careful. Eh? No, Junior Brother Xia seemed to call you ‘brother-in-law’ just now. Could it be that you’re already married?”
Before Yun Che could answer, Xia Yuanba spoke up first, “Yes, yes. Although my brother-in-law is only sixteen years old this year, he married my sister half a year ago.”
"Oh~~~It turns out that Junior Brother Yun is only sixteen years old. He is in a hurry to get married so early. It seems that the bride must be very beautiful." Lan Ruoxue said with a smile.
“Ahahaha… Anyway, please take good care of me in the future, Senior Brother and Senior Sister.” Yun Che smiled awkwardly, then turned his eyes and said to Lan Xueruo with a smile: “I guess, Senior Sister Xueruo must not be a local, right?”
"Oh? How did you know?" Lan Xueruo blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Because I feel that Xinyue City is impetuous and its spiritual energy is a bit turbid, it should not be able to give birth to a beautiful lady like Senior Sister Xueruo who is graceful and elegant."
Lan Xueruo was slightly startled, then her pink lips slightly curved, and her slender eyebrows arched: "Junior Brother Yun is not only good-looking, but also very talented, and has such a sweet mouth. It's a pity that Junior Brother Yun is already married, otherwise, Senior Sister might... Hehe."
Lan Xueruo's words were clearly a playful joke, but Murong Ye, who was standing beside him, raised his eyebrows sharply and glared at Yun Che fiercely.
Yun Che seemed to have not seen it at all, and said to Lan Xueruo with a smile: "It doesn't matter, my wife promised me that she would never object to me finding another wife."
