Returning home in the dead of night, Liu Xiaoyuan fell asleep immediately and slept soundly until dawn.
Time always slips away unnoticed, especially for someone like Liu Xiaoyuan, who has nothing to worry about every day and is accompanied by beautiful women. Time really flies by in the blink of an eye.
That day, Liu Xiaoyuan received a call from Yang Xin'er, who said that he was going to participate in some kind of youth talent competition.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately called Su Xue, packed their luggage, and then told his woman.
Liu Xiaoyuan had already told Lu Siyao and the others this before, so all he needed to do this time was call them to let them know he was leaving; there was no need to explain so much.
After notifying everyone, Liu Xiaoyuan led Su Xue and Baihu to Yuxiao Pavilion. After arriving at Yuxiao Pavilion, they waited for about half an hour before seeing fluctuations in the barrier of Yuxiao Pavilion. Then, they saw Yang Xin'er leading Yang Zihan and another disciple out.
Yang Xin'er was leading the team again this time. The leader of Yuxiao Pavilion would naturally not go, after all, he was the leader of a dignified sect.
"Wait a minute, Elder Meng hasn't come out yet, let's wait for her." Yang Xin'er said with a smile as she saw Liu Xiaoyuan urging her to leave.
A few minutes later, Elder Yang finally came out and apologized to Yang Xin'er. When he saw Liu Xiaoyuan and the others, Elder Meng asked Yang Xin'er a question.
Yang Xin'er said with a smile, "I can't refuse Fellow Daoist Liu since he wants to come with us. Besides, Zihan is Fellow Daoist Liu's girlfriend. I can't say anything based on that alone."
Elder Meng didn't know what to say. Last time Liu Xiaoyuan came to Yuxiao Pavilion, he represented the Alchemy Guild. Therefore, Elder Meng didn't dare to offend Liu Xiaoyuan too much.
"Elder Yang, let's set off then." Elder Meng said to Yang Xin'er, and then Yang Xin'er immediately took out a paper boat from her body and threw it into the air. The boat immediately grew larger.
"Let's all go up," Yang Xin'er called to Liu Xiaoyuan and the others.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that this was a flying magic weapon that could fly by using the spiritual energy of spirit stones. The spirit stones were like fuel; without them, the thing was useless, just like a car without fuel—it was better to walk.
Once inside the boat, Liu Xiaoyuan pulled Su Xue and Yang Zihan to sit beside him.
Of course, Liu Xiaoyuan also wanted to pull Yang Xin'er to sit next to him, but that was definitely not an option in front of so many people.
After sitting down, Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Yang Zihan and asked, "Zihan, are you confident about participating in this Young Talents Competition?"
Yang Zihan said, "I'm not entirely sure either, but my master and the sect leader said that everyone in this competition will be competing against each other at the same level, so I think I'm quite confident because I believe in myself."
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Zihan, with such confidence, you will definitely win the championship."
"Zihan, have you had a tough time during these ten or twenty days of training?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with concern.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that in order to make Yang Zihan stand out in this competition of young talents, Yuxiao Pavilion would definitely put Yang Zihan through crazy training, and such training would definitely be too much for Yang Zihan to handle.
Therefore, under these circumstances, Liu Xiaoyuan asked Yang Zihan if she was tired from editing.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan showing such concern for Yang Zihan, Su Xue, who was sitting to the side, was naturally jealous, but she couldn't show it in front of others. So, when no one was paying attention, she pinched Liu Xiaoyuan's waist.
Immediately, Liu Xiaoyuan gasped in pain.
Seeing this, Yang Zihan quickly asked with concern, "Xiaoyuan, what's wrong?"
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just got bitten by an ant, that's all."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zihan said in confusion, "Xiao Yuan, no way, how could there be ants here? There can't be ants, Master, are there ants on your spaceship?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xin'er thought to herself, "My good apprentice, Xiao Yuan was definitely not bitten by ants, but pinched by the woman next to him."
“Zihan, this master doesn’t know,” Yang Xin’er said.
Liu Xiaoyuan, fearing that Yang Zihan would continue to dwell on this issue, said, "Zihan, alright, that's all. Let's talk about your training."
Yang Zihan then said, "Although my training was a bit tough, I felt I made rapid progress under the guidance of my master and the various sect leaders. Before, I only focused on cultivation and didn't have any practical combat experience. This time, returning to the sect has given me practical combat experience, which has benefited me greatly."
During the conversation, Liu Xiaoyuan learned that another disciple was also participating in the Young Talents Competition. This female disciple was named Lin Xiaoyan, and like Yang Zihan, she was at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
Lin Xiaoyan was clearly a serious person. Before Yang Zihan entered Yuxiao Pavilion, she was the number one disciple of Yuxiao Pavilion.
However, ever since Yang Zihan entered Yuxiao Pavilion, all the resources of Yuxiao Pavilion have been given to Yang Zihan, and she has been given all her efforts to cultivate Yang Zihan. Naturally, Lin Xiaoyan has become the second-in-command.
This naturally made Lin Xiaoyan feel a little unbalanced; anyone would feel the same way.
Elder Meng was Lin Xiaoyan's master. Originally, because of his disciple Lin Xiaoyan, Elder Meng held one of the most prestigious positions among all the elders in the Jade Cloud Pavilion.
However, ever since Yang Xin'er brought Yang Zihan back to Yuxiao Pavilion from outside, Yang Xin'er's position has replaced Elder Meng's.
Although Elder Meng was still one of the most powerful elders, she was no longer as respected or fawned over as Yang Xin'er, which made Elder Meng feel somewhat unbalanced.
Elder Meng would naturally not say such things aloud, but everyone knew them in their hearts.
Therefore, Yang Xin'er and Elder Meng barely communicated along the way, because they both knew what the other was thinking.
Yang Zihan and Lin Xiaoyan didn't interact much, so apart from Liu Xiaoyuan talking to Yang Zihan and the others, no one else spoke along the way.
"How much longer until we arrive?" Liu Xiaoyuan had been sitting in the spaceship for almost two hours. During that time, the spaceship was traveling at breakneck speed. Logically speaking, at such a speed, they should have traveled two or three thousand miles.
But now that they've been flying for so long, there's still no sign of stopping, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask.
Yang Xin'er said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "It'll be soon. We should be able to enter Kunlun Mountain's territory in about ten more minutes."
Hearing that they would arrive in about ten minutes, Liu Xiaoyuan was eager to see what Kunlun Mountain looked like. The system had mentioned that the Primordial Celestial Venerable had cultivated here in the past.
