The group entered the villa and found two servants guarding the door.
These two were not wearing guard uniforms, but judging from their cultivation levels, they were between the Iron Bone Realm and the Profound Soul Realm.
It can only be said that in this Wanren City, the one thing that is not lacking is cultivators. Whether it is a coachman or a gatekeeper, they are all cultivators...
Upon seeing the token in Ning Yuyao's hand, the two servants immediately went to report. Not long after, an elderly man dressed in plain clothes, with a lean face and a calm demeanor, slowly walked over.
Upon seeing the group, the old man bowed slightly in greeting, his attitude respectful yet neither servile nor arrogant.
"Distinguished guests, I am Qiushan, the manager of the manor. Your rooms in the 'Frosty Maple Courtyard' have been prepared for you. Please follow me."
The old steward led the group along the winding stone path into the depths of the mountain villa.
On the way, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but ask Guan Yingying in a low voice, "Senior Sister Guan, this Qiuye Manor... sounds like it's a very high-class place?"
Guan Yingying crossed her arms and glanced at the picturesque autumn scenery around her. "It's more than just high. Every inch of land in Wanren City is precious, and Qiuye Manor is the largest guesthouse in the Sword Pavilion. Usually, the high-ranking elders of various sects live here. It's already quite rare that the Sword Dao Tournament has allowed it to be open to the geniuses on the Fengyun Record."
She paused, then continued, "I'm currently on the forty-year-old list, but I won't be able to get on next year..."
Shen Yunhao couldn't help but click his tongue. If you're not on the list of Fengyunlu, even the name of Guanghan Palace won't work here.
"By the way, Senior Sister Guan, I remember that Guanghan Palace has several disciples listed in the Records of Wind and Clouds. Why don't we see any others with us?"
Hearing this, Guan Yingying glanced at Shen Yunhao, a half-smile on her face: "Yes, there is... but do you think Wu Yun'er would be willing to come with our junior sister?"
Wu Yun'er?
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because once it was brought up, Shen Yunhao immediately remembered...
Wasn't it because of her that Shen Yunhao became an "internet celebrity" and caused such a stir in the North Sea of Guanghan Palace to be caught cheating?
If Ning Yuyao were to travel with her... who knows what they would go through on the way! Just thinking about it is terrifying!
"So it was her..." Shen Yunhao stroked his chin.
"What? You're still hoping someone will catch you cheating?"
"..." Shen Yunhao quickly glanced at Ning Yuyao beside him, and seeing that she had no reaction, he said in an annoyed tone, "Why would I care about her? If Senior Sister hadn't mentioned her, I would have forgotten about her!"
Guan Yingying shook her head, "It's just that she's unlucky this time. Because she's over the age limit, she's no longer on the list of those over thirty in the Chronicles of Heroes. I don't know if she'll have a chance to move into Autumn Leaf Manor..."
During their conversation, the group had already arrived deep within the mountain villa.
Shuangfeng Courtyard is located on a relatively independent small hill deep in the mountain resort. The gate is also a simple wooden door. After pushing it open, there is an elegant three-sided courtyard.
"The second floor of the main building is the bedroom, and there are several guest rooms in the east and west wing rooms," Steward Qiushan introduced. "There is a spirit-gathering array and isolation restriction in the courtyard, which can be activated with a token. For daily needs, just tell the servants in the courtyard. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Please make yourselves at home."
After Steward Akiyama left, the group began to assign rooms.
The bedroom on the second floor of the main building was originally intended for Guan Yingying, who had the highest status, but she waved her hand and chose a guest room in the east wing without saying a word.
Shen Yunhao wanted to decline, but Guan Yingying just smiled faintly.
"I'm fine with sleeping in the main building, but I don't want to sleep alone in such a big bedroom. My junior sister has to come and keep me company!"
Goodbye!
Shen Yunhao decisively embraced his blushing wife, as if afraid that she would be snatched away by someone else.
There were two rooms in the west wing. Ma Tianyu happily chose one, while leaving the other room for Pang Shunan.
"Xiao An...why don't you sleep in the east wing? I prefer a more lively atmosphere!"
"ah?"
Pang Shunan's face flushed red instantly. He lowered his head, flustered, and whispered, "Sister Guan... Sister Guan... I..."
"Pfft... Hahaha, alright, alright! Go live with your Brother Ma, I won't make things difficult for you..."
Seeing this scene, Shen Yunhao shook his head helplessly and took Ning Yuyao's hand as they walked towards the main building.
Pushing open the door to the second-floor bedroom, you'll find a spacious and elegantly furnished room filled with a faint woody fragrance and the scent of grass and trees wafting in from outside the window.
Opening the window, I could see the layered autumn colors of the mountain villa and the cold, hard outline of Wanren City, a steel forest, in the distance.
"Yao'er...this place is really nice..."
Ning Yuyao put away her luggage, walked over and looked around, then nodded and said, "The scenery here is just as beautiful as the Tianshan Mountains, and even more spectacular."
Shen Yunhao smiled and hugged her from behind. "Yao'er...you weren't angry when Wu Yun'er was mentioned today, were you?"
Ning Yuyao blinked. "Why would I be angry?"
"If it weren't for her, my relationship with Sister Li'er might still be unclear and complicated..."
Sure enough, the girl's lips immediately pouted when Zhuli was mentioned.
"I think it's better to talk about it beforehand, so that if my husband goes out to cheat and gets caught, it won't lead to the conversation being about Yao'er..."
Shen Yunhao just smiled and didn't say anything.
After a while, he lowered his head and bit the girl's ear, "Yao'er, this place is nice, how about... letting Sister Li'er out to vent her anger?"
"Want to get angry?"
Before Ning Yuyao could react, Shen Yunhao had already taken out the little white snake and wisteria from his sleeve and placed it aside, then kissed the girl in his arms.
The girl was stunned for a long time before she understood what "getting angry" meant, and her cheeks instantly turned red with embarrassment.
It was a deep red, like the sunset gradually appearing outside the window...
...
The next morning, when Shen Yunhao got up, Ning Yuyao was no longer in the room.
He wasn't surprised. After practicing a set of boxing techniques to relax his muscles and bones in the courtyard, he strolled out of Frost Maple Courtyard and wandered along the winding and secluded stone paths within the villa.
The resort is large, built along the mountainside, with each independent courtyard nestled in the lush autumn colors, far apart from one another, maintaining ample privacy and tranquility.
Shen Yunhao enjoyed this rare tranquility and admired the autumn scenery of the mountain villa. As he turned through a corridor lined with golden ginkgo trees, the wooden door of a courtyard in front of him was pushed open.
A figure dressed in an earth-yellow brocade robe walked out from inside, his brows furrowed with an inescapable gloom and...resentment.
Shen Yunhao paused, inwardly cursing his bad luck.
This person was none other than Huang Wenlong, whom I had met in Tanghuo City not long ago!
What a small world! This guy also lives at Qiuye Manor?
But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't make no mistake; after all, they are listed on the list of legendary figures...
The last time I lost to Shen Yunhao was largely due to my injury. If we were to fight with all our might, it would be hard to say who would win.
