"Uncle Xuan?"
A young woman in her twenties walked in, dressed in a pale yellow palace dress. Her silky black hair fluttered in the wind, her eyebrows long and narrow, and her eyes were as bright as the stars and the moon. Though covered by a veil, one could still faintly see her delicate nose, slightly rosy cheeks, her cherry-red lips, her flawless oval face, her smooth, snow-white skin, and her slender waist, which could be grasped with both hands. She was a sight of elegance and refinement. In this dark night, the girl was a beautiful sight.
"Miss."
The man in black, known as Uncle Xuan, removed his black cloak, revealing a square face. He shuddered slightly, and the rainwater on his clothes instantly evaporated. He then bowed slightly and respectfully saluted the girl.
"Uncle Xuan, you don't have to be polite. There are no outsiders here now, so just call me Yu'er." The girl said with her hands raised in the air.
"Uncle Xuan, what's going on?"
Looking at Gu Yuan sleeping on the recliner, the girl in palace dress frowned slightly.
"The young lady's status is special and we cannot be careless with her. So I will use the Drunken Immortal Saliva to make her sleep for a while. It's okay." Uncle Xuan shook the green jade bottle in his hand and smiled embarrassedly.
With graceful steps, the young woman slowly approached Gu Yuan, stopping three feet from him. She carefully examined the young man before her. His slightly thin face had a sallow tinge, and his rather bushy eyebrows were particularly striking. Due to her unique status, she had rarely left the prison walls for as long as she could remember. Growing up, she had only interacted with a few people, and so she was filled with curiosity about this young man, with whom she had never met but with whom she had some connection.
The girl opened her red lips slightly: "Uncle Xuan, is he that Gu Yuan?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Her gaze stayed on the boy's face for only a few moments, and then the girl looked away. She was a little curious about this boy, but that was just curiosity.
"Alright, Uncle Xuan. Now that we've seen the person, we should leave." The girl turned her back to Uncle Xuan and looked out at the darkness outside the door. Uncle Xuan couldn't see the girl's expression under the veil, let alone what she was thinking.
Uncle Xuan was stunned: "Miss, are you leaving now?"
"Hmm? Is there anything else?" the girl asked calmly.
"Miss, it's so hard to get a chance to come out. I spent a thousand gold coins to buy information about this guy. Don't you want to know more about him?" Uncle Xuan said with a bitter face. It was you who said you wanted to come and see it, and it's only been a short time?
"No need."
The girl said calmly, "If it weren't for my father... my father, I probably wouldn't have had any contact with him. Let's go! Things are turbulent in Beastmaster City right now, and we can't stay here for long. Otherwise, if someone discovers our whereabouts, we'll inevitably have to deal with him for a while."
Not getting a response from Uncle Xuan, the girl turned to look at Uncle Xuan, only to find that Uncle Xuan's hand was on Gu Yuan's wrist with a serious look on his face.
The girl did not say anything to disturb him, but just looked at Uncle Xuan quietly.
After a long while, Uncle Xuan finally stood up and met the girl's gaze. Seeing the girl's calm eyes, Uncle Xuan wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. As a master of the King Realm, he also had moments of nervousness.
"Ahem, um...Miss, I'm just a little curious. Let's go, let's go." Uncle Xuan said hurriedly.
"You've already seen it, tell me the result." Unexpectedly, the girl was not angry, instead she seemed a little interested?
"Hmm?"
Uncle Xuan was slightly stunned. Is this still his young lady?
"What? What's the problem?"
"No problem, no problem."
Uncle Xuan quickly said, "I just tested the strength of this guy's spiritual veins and found... found that he has no spiritual veins."
"No spiritual vein?"
The girl was slightly startled at this moment, and even her voice became louder. She knew Uncle Xuan's strength well, and there was no way she was wrong.
Uncle Xuan looked at the girl strangely. In his memory, she had always been calm and composed, so why was she now...
As if realizing her own loss of composure, she turned around and said calmly, "There are countless people on the Yuanling Continent. Only one in ten possesses a spiritual vein. And among those, if we exclude those with abnormal awakenings or blocked spiritual veins, there are less than one in ten thousand spiritual cultivators. This situation is very common and not surprising. It's okay this way. Sometimes it's good to be an ordinary person."
After hearing the latter part, Uncle Xuan heard a hint of something else in the girl's tone.
"Well, actually, for him, just as the young lady said, this is not a bad thing. The path of cultivation is not only a struggle against heaven, but also a struggle against people. Throughout the ages, countless talented young men of his age have turned into dry bones and become stepping stones for top geniuses. The longer people live, the more they understand that it is enough to live a peaceful life." Uncle Xuan smacked his lips and sighed.
The girl seemed to smile a little, "I didn't expect that Uncle Xuan, a master of the King Realm, would have such a sigh."
"Hey, as I get older, I can't help but sigh." Uncle Xuan said with a smile.
The girl glanced at the sleeping boy from the corner of her eye. This was their first meeting, and it should also be their last. "Okay, Uncle Xuan, we can go now."
"Yeah, okay."
The girl glanced at the night sky. The torrential downpour had helped conceal their presence; otherwise, she wouldn't have risked coming to see this stranger. With a gentle pinch of her jade fingers, a thin layer of spiritual energy enveloped her, repelling the rain before quickly merging into darkness.
Uncle Xuan looked back at the sleeping Gu Yuan, his expression slightly complicated, "Young man, young man, maybe this is your fate!"
He hesitated for a moment, then sighed and pulled out a milky white jade bottle from his waist. "This is a longevity pill. Taking it can extend your lifespan by ten years. It can also strengthen your body, remove blood stasis, and activate blood circulation. I don't have many myself, so I'll leave one for you as compensation for today!"
