In the Pill King's Palace, Jing Li, dressed in a magnificent red robe, her face alluring and captivating, gently turned the jade cup in her fair, jade-like hand. This was the last jar of wine left behind by the Third Prince. Everyone on the Taiyan Continent believed that the Third Prince and Xiu Qiyu had traveled the world together, but that was not the case.
Xiao Ye has disappeared, and it's very likely she's not on the Taiyan Continent. No one knows where she went.
Jing Li took a sip of wine and then put down the cup. Soon, a thin, jade-white jade piece appeared in his hand; it was a communication talisman.
"Ye Xiruo has returned, but she is seriously injured and her whereabouts are unknown."
Jingli didn't doubt the accuracy of the news, after all, only a minority of people knew about it. Furthermore, the fact that the other party was willing to share this information suggested they meant no harm; it seemed the third brother had indeed returned.
This matter must not be made public. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, it will definitely be detrimental to Xiao Yezi.
Meanwhile, Jingli quickly devised a specific method and sent a message to Zishu, who was still deep in Lingshan. Zishu should know about it.
The search for the third brother can only be done privately and slowly. As long as Xiu Qiyu is alright, Xiao Yezi should be alright as well. Jing Li's long and strong hands gripped the jade-white throne, wishing he could see Ye Xiruo immediately.
Each person paid ten low-grade spirit stones, and each carriage also cost ten low-grade spirit stones. After Ling Yue paid the spirit stones, the group entered Black Stone City.
Blackrock City is quite lively because it is the closest city to the Endless Desert. Most of the people there, like Lingyue, are just passing travelers.
The streets were lined with vendors selling weapons, elixirs, herbs, and dry rations, and the prices were not low.
Ling Yue seemed to have been here before, leading the group towards the inn with practiced ease.
Ling Xue and Ye Xiruo walked together. The two young girls, one pure and lovely, the other noble and elegant, along with Ling Yue in front of them who was as aloof as a fairy in the moon, made this group of people turn heads.
This was Lingyue's first time in Blackrock City, and she was quite curious about all the new and interesting things, looking around curiously.
"Let's go back to the inn and rest first. We can go out for a stroll tonight."
"Okay, okay."
The inn that Ling Yue chose wasn't the biggest, but it was clean and tidy. As soon as Ling Yue entered, the owner greeted her: "Miss Ling, please come in."
"Three main rooms and five middle rooms."
"Okay, Miss Ling, please come in."
"Wait a minute."
Just as Lingyue and her group were about to go upstairs to rest, a voice from outside stopped them in their tracks.
"What brings you here, young master?" Ling Yue's voice was clear and cold, and the chill in her eyes seemed capable of freezing a person to death.
"Boss, I just arrived. You said there were no superior rooms available, but now there are suddenly three more. If you don't explain this to me clearly today, you can forget about keeping this shop open."
"Young master, Miss Lingyue is a VIP guest of our shop. Those three guest rooms were prepared especially for Miss Lingyue. We are really sorry."
"Ling Yue, right? I'll offer ten mid-grade spirit stones to give me a superior room."
"roll."
That's really domineering. Ye Xiruo silently gave Ling Yue a thumbs up. For this kind of unreasonable scum who thinks he's the best in the world, he won't know why the flowers are so red if he doesn't teach him a lesson.
"Miss Ling, what do you mean by this? I'm only trying to be helpful by discussing this with you out of kindness; don't be so ungrateful."
Ha! Who's really being shameless here?
The elegantly dressed young man tried to step forward, but a snow-white sword blocked his path: "Get out of here if you don't want to die."
"You, you, you dare to speak to me like that? You just wait."
Ling Yue's expression was indifferent, but a hint of murderous intent flashed between her brows.
"Get out of here before I change my mind."
"Pfft, hahaha." Ling Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"why are you laughing?"
"Your butt is on fire."
The elegantly dressed young man was about to burst into a tirade, "What are you saying? You're kidding me! Nobody would believe that!"
Wait, what's that smell? Many people in the inn were already laughing out loud, and those subtle glances only amplified the unease in the heart of the elegantly dressed young man.
"Ahhh, water, water, where's the water? Help! Fire!"
The servants quickly grabbed the teapot to try and put out the fire, but it wasn't very effective. It looked like the whole thing was about to burst into flames.
"Young master, would you like to roll around on the ground a couple of times?"
"How dare you tell me to get lost!"
"No, this fire is too strange, young master, please bear with it."
Left with no other choice, the elegantly dressed young man started rolling around on the ground, looking absolutely hilarious.
"Alright, let's go." Ling Yue glanced at Ye Xiruo indifferently, sheathed her sword, and went upstairs.
"Young master, keep going! The fire is really getting smaller."
"Ouch! It's burning me! Hurry up and find a way to put out this fire!"
"Young master, the water is here." A bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and the flames only shrank slightly.
"It really works! Let's do it again. Hurry up and put out the fire for the young master."
The other servants also began drawing water from the well in the backyard, bucket by bucket, and pouring it over their young master.
"Young master, keep going! Roll it two more times and the fire will go out."
Everyone in the hall was enjoying the show with great interest; it was truly spectacular. They wondered which powerful figure this unfortunate spoiled brat had offended to be in such a state.
However, considering how arrogant he was when he first arrived, he deserved it.
The elegant young man had lost face so badly. He finally managed to extinguish the flames on his body after a great deal of effort, but his clothes were now tattered and worn, with his buttocks being the most exposed part of his body.
The servant quickly took off his own coat, wrapped it around his young master, and slunk away.
The show was over, and Ye Xiruo shrugged, preparing to go back to rest. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she saw Ling Yue dressed in white, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Many thanks to fellow Daoist for saving my life and for rescuing me today."
"You're welcome. After all, you saved my life first, so consider this as repayment for your life-saving grace."
"Ling Yue thanks you again, senior."
Ling Yue had many questions about the flame in Ye Xiruo's hand and Ye Xiruo's identity, but those were Ye Xiruo's secrets, and she would not reveal them or deliberately inquire about them.
Ye Xiruo turned and left. She really wasn't good at chatting with such a beautiful woman. She should go back and get some rest.
"Master, it's good that you're still alive."
Wait, that's the system's voice.
"Congratulations, you're still alive; you haven't completely crashed."
"Spirit Stone, my time is running out." He said it as if it were the truth.
"Tell me what happened to the space first?"
"It's nothing, just a side effect of time travel."
