"Then what is Fellow Daoist Zhenru?"
Hearing her name mentioned, Liu Yunqing, who was waiting to the side, finally snapped out of her thoughts.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard someone echoing her:
"Exactly! They bragged so much before, saying they were the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Sun Realm? Well, they're just second now, hahaha!"
Aside from the other prodigies of the major sects, no one else would dare to speak of Liu Yunzhao in this way.
Liu Yunzhao did manage to subdue some people, but he also certainly offended some.
Before the hunting competition, these people dared not act recklessly under the halo of the Daughter of Heavenly Fortune. Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, they naturally have to rush forward to take advantage of it.
Those who dared not speak out joined in the jeering or laughter of the speaker.
Unfortunately, the people they were targeting simply didn't take the bait.
Liu Yunzhao sat cross-legged in the same spot from beginning to end, not even bothering to open his eyelids, making these people jumping around like clowns.
The group of people who were initially celebrating probably didn't realize what was happening and were still enthusiastically setting off the sparks.
After being provoked repeatedly, those people finally realized something was wrong, and their expressions became very awkward. Continuing would be too embarrassing.
For a moment, the scene almost fell silent.
Just as those people were looking at each other, unsure how to leave the stage, a handsome young man dressed in the robes of a true disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect, holding a jade flute, walked gracefully up to Liu Yunzhao and said with a charming smile:
"Junior Sister Yun Zhao, how have you been?"
As soon as these words were spoken, some quick-witted people around immediately chimed in:
"What are you saying, Master Jin Yin! You've just been slapped in the face, how can you be unharmed?"
Jin Yin Zhenren feigned anger, glared at the man, and said:
"Who do you think you are? Who are you to speak ill of Junior Sister Yun Zhao?"
The man's expression changed, and he immediately fell silent.
Jin Yin Zhenren turned back with satisfaction, her expression softening as she looked at Liu Yunzhao with gentle eyes, saying:
"Junior Sister Yun Zhao, don't be afraid. Your title of the Chosen One is not something that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can steal. As long as you agree to follow me, no one will dare to slander you again."
Liu Yunzhao, who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, finally opened his eyes slowly upon hearing Jin Yin's words.
Upon seeing this, Jin Yin Zhenren revealed a look of delight, raising his chin high as he awaited the arrival of his warm and soft body.
"Pfft—what an idiot!"
Seeing this, Feng Piaopiao, who was standing nearby, stared at the distance and leaned close to Liu Yunqing, whispering gloatingly.
Liu Yunqing raised an eyebrow, and just as her gaze shifted, she heard Liu Yunzhao's voice, though not loud, but resounding throughout the entire hall:
"roll!"
This deep, angry roar was the most out-of-control moment Liu Yunzhao had ever seen in public, a moment Liu Yunqing had witnessed in both his past and present lives.
Of course, the last time he lost his composure was on the hunting field.
As Liu Yunqing was wondering why the flirting of a self-proclaimed charming and lewd man could make Liu Yunzhao so angry, she saw Liu Yunzhao glaring at her with fiery eyes.
Why are you glaring at her?
It wasn't her who instructed the lewd man to harass her.
However, no matter what, as long as Liu Yunzhao is unhappy, she is happy.
Liu Yunqing's expressionless face curved into a slight smile as she looked at Liu Yunzhao's furious face, while she raised her teacup in a gesture of respect.
Liu Yunqing, who had just turned his gaze away, did not see the fleeting murderous intent that lurked in Liu Yunzhao's eyes, which were burning with rage.
The bystanders, quick to seize the opportunity and eager to stir up trouble, saw the door to the Great Powers' discussion room open.
Chunyu Changfeng was the first to step forward. His eternally smiling, beautiful face, though still serene and composed, exuded a warm and cheerful aura.
"Let's go, great hero, let's go back to the city lord's mansion for a chat."
Perhaps because he was in a really good mood, Chunyu Changfeng casually ruffled Liu Yunqing's hair as he passed by, speaking in a light tone.
A gentle yet powerful warmth, without the slightest hint of aggression, emanated from the top of her head, causing Liu Yunqing to freeze instantly, like a cat suddenly grabbed by the scruff of its neck.
The feeling was so strange that she dared not think about it too deeply.
What's going on?!
Her current face is that of a cold and sassy female demon!
"Here I am."
It took Liu Yunqing a while to regain her composure. She reminded herself not to move her hands and feet in unison before she lifted her foot and quickly followed.
Seeing Liu Yunqing walk away in a daze without even saying goodbye, Feng Piaopiao pouted in dissatisfaction.
Well, if Monk Wuchen is his savior, then he can't beat him, so be it.
Now it seems he's about to be even worse than a blind city lord.
Feng Piaopiao didn't have time to think about these things. Seeing her master come out, she hurriedly went to greet him and left.
Liu Yunzhao had already regained her usual calm and dignified demeanor when Chunyu Changfeng came out, and she left after Suwei Daojun came out as well.
The remaining troublemakers and onlookers dispersed one after another once the main characters had left.
The hunting competition is more practical, and the whole process is not as ceremonial as sect competitions. Apart from the participants, no one cares about the comings and goings of others.
In less than half a day, Luoxia City returned to its previous state.
Chunyu Changfeng, however, in the city lord's mansion, knew that some things were about to change.
"Do you remember what I asked you to do for me before?"
Standing by the window, Chunyu Changfeng, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to finally pull himself out of the quagmire of memories and began to speak to Liu Yunqing.
Liu Yunqing nodded, then, thinking that the other person couldn't see, said:
“Of course I remember. As long as I am still a guest elder of the city lord’s mansion, the city lord can give any orders. As long as it does not violate the rules of the bridal chamber, I will do my best to complete them.”
Chunyu Changfeng, though hearing Liu Yunqing's caution, paid no heed and simply curled his lips into a smile:
"The Flowing Abyss Secret Realm will open in three years. After that, you should go to the Fusang Secret Realm to cultivate wholeheartedly. When the Flowing Abyss Secret Realm opens, come back and retrieve something for me."
"Why go to the Fusang Secret Realm to cultivate? What do we need to retrieve?"
Liu Yunqing agreed, and then asked Chunyu Changfeng a question.
After witnessing Liu Yunzhao's performance in the hunting competition and seeing her growth firsthand, Chunyu Changfeng decided not to treat her like a child anymore.
Upon hearing her question, I explained directly:
"In the Fusang Secret Realm, there is a place with exceptionally rich fire spiritual energy, which is most suitable for your cultivation."
"The realm within a realm in the Flowing Abyss Secret Realm can only accommodate Foundation Establishment cultivators, but to come out alive, one's cultivation level should ideally be at the late Foundation Establishment stage."
"As for what to retrieve..."
At this point, Chunyu Changfeng's lips moved, but his voice vanished into thin air and instead traveled into Liu Yunqing's mind.
"In the Flowing Abyss Secret Realm, there is a Crimson Fire Dragon that is about to transform into a dragon. Please bring back its eyes for me."
After Chunyu Changfeng finished speaking, he reached out and gently touched the area around his eyes, and his heart began to race again.
This time, they finally found the right person!
It must be right!
