Chapter 99: The Arrangement Was Clear
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The City of Ten Thousand Swords was filled with spell techniques that recorded images. There was one set up almost every few meters to constantly monitor the situation. It was just that they would not use it during normal times, and as long as they were willing, they could immediately and clearly investigate a person’s whereabouts.
This was the harshest method to maintain the city’s security, and under normal circumstances, it would not be used.
But today, the City Lord had gone to such great lengths to investigate a single person. Although none of the secret guards knew who this person was, the City Lord’s attitude had already shown the importance of this person. They were the City Lord’s shadow and followed the City Lord’s will, so there was no need to ask for the reason. They only needed to execute the order.
The City Lord’s closest secret guard, who was also the leader of the secret guards, Ah Yue, half-knelt on the ground and handed over the results of the investigation to Duan Lanruo.
From the moment they entered the city to the time they passed by the inn, everything was clearly recorded.
Duan Lanruo reached out to take it, and her gaze became solemn. This Foundation Establishment youth named Jiang Feng and Cui Ting had walked together in a few words, bringing his younger sister to Yuelai Inn first. After that, they even got to know the lady boss of Yuelai Inn, the Fox Demon. They could even be said that they were very intimate…
What was more interesting was that they also discovered that Ye Cike had sent people to investigate Liu Yuan and Cui Ting’s whereabouts.
This proved that she had definitely used some means to sense that someone was nearby, but the scene had become chaotic again, so she could not continue to look for him.
And now, Duan Lanruo was like a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. She had completely intercepted the results.
“Hehe… he’s is indeed young and impulsive.”
Duan Lanruo chuckled. She could not deduce any additional information from the remaining traces of his whereabouts. However, comparing this person’s token and identity information, it showed that he came from the Jiang Kingdom in the southeast of Central Plains. And what was even more coincidental was that not long ago, the Green Lotus Swordsman–
Coincidentally, they were heading towards the southeast of Central Plains in an overbearing manner.
Moreover, she had suddenly come to the City of Ten Thousand Swords without an invitation. After receiving the news, she was currently staying in the Qingping Residence. It seemed that he was also looking for someone.
It was rumored in the outside world that she would become a judge for thetide-viewing and sword-listening event, but the City of Ten Thousand Swords had only sent out an invitation after she had arrived.
One coincidence was a coincidence, but so many coincidences was solid evidence!
“To be able to provoke so many powerful and beautiful women, it should only be my cute little Junxuan who appears and disappears unpredictably, right?”
Duan Lanruo’s eyes were filled with an inexplicable sense of pampering, and her smile was filled with motherly love as she looked at the additional information in her hands.
Not long before the Green Lotus Swordsman’s sudden attack, there was only one major event that happened in the Jiang Kingdom. The demonic sect spy in the Water Moon Dock was eliminated. At the same time, there was a wave of internal strife. In the end, it was resolved internally and everything calmed down.
And one person among them was not famous, but he played an important role in it.
People called him Mr. Junxuan.
Everything was connected in the timeline, and it was a perfect fit.
The City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords revealed a confident smile. Her gaze was so gentle that it seemed as if it was about to melt. Her eyes fell on one of the pages in the information. It was an exclusive portrait of this mysterious Mr. Jun Xuan. The appearance obtained from her memory through a simple soul-searching technique was not much different from the real situation.
She was already familiar with these secret methods, and the iron walls and responsibilities of the City of Ten Thousand Swords were sometimes like shackles and cages, making her extremely exhausted. However, only her little Junxuan was gentle, never using tricks to get close to her, his eyes reflecting her.
This was her pure land and paradise. She would not allow anyone who wanted to hurt him to do so.
“Check… Mate.”
Her neat and clean nails tapped on the paper like chess pieces.
The young man in black clothes and black hair on the paper had a handsome face with a smile, which was no different from what he remembered.
The beautiful woman in a luxurious gold-threaded peacock-blue dress curled her red lips. Her white and full chest was outlined by a crow-green tube top, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
It was as if he was telling the eternal truth that only the strong were worthy of beauty.
…
Liu Yuan quietly returned to the room that had turned into a dormitory. He was carrying the strength of the cards. This group of newbies could not detect him at all. These people were all meditating and cultivating, preparing for the battle.
Chuichui, who was previously wrapped in a blanket and shut herself off on his bed, was now asleep. Probably tired, she was sleeping very soundly. She maintained her cat form with her belly up and down, curled up into a ball, and her tail and ears moved from time to time. She was extremely cute.
Liu Yuan’s expression was a little subtle. If he had gone all out, wouldn’t it be equivalent to him doing something wrong to a cat?
No, Chuichui’s essence is a super large dragon.
So it was kind of like… Totoro?
Liu Yuan reached out and touched Chuichui’s back. She was still soft to the touch. Then, he realized that the bed had not been cleaned, so he cast a cleaning spell to remove the strange stains.
Chuichui’s fur and Hu Jiuniang’s fur had their own merits. He felt that Chuichui’s fur was smoother, but Hu Jiuniang’s fur was very fluffy and soft, and he always wanted to squish it.
…Why did this sentence feel so strange?
Liu Yuan sat on the bed and played with the Water and Fire Pearls. He felt that it was better for him not to look for Duan Lanruo.
Because he believed that in the home ground of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, Duan Lanruo would definitely be the first person to find out his identity and whereabouts.
So, he just had to wait for the call.
It was not as if he had not thought of Hu Jiuniang’s suggestion to take the initiative.
When he first transmigrated, he was still ambitious and full of hesitation, planning to take on all of them.
In the end, before he could even deal with Ning Xiangrong and Gu Siyin from the novice village, Pihuan Luo came up to him and almost killed him. After that, he subconsciously felt a little afraid.
However, this really could not go on. Now that they were in Duan Lanruo’s territory in the City of Ten Thousand Swords, she had the home advantage.
She could take care of Ye Cike and Shen Sifan, one of them was a rich loli with money, and the other was a powerful Sword Saint. It would be of great help to him when he dealt with the remaining women.
Out of boredom, Liu Yuan held the two pearls in his hands and suddenly paused. He remembered that he had not told Hu Jiuniang about Hu Zhizhi. He had been interrupted by Ling Yu and had forgotten about it before he could say anything…
If Hu Zhizhi really was the spirit of the mountains and seas, then the material he needed to hatch the Golden Crow True Yang — the Mountain Sea Treasure Heart — was the core of the spirit of the mountains and seas.
At that time, he had wanted to remind Hu Jiuniang and think about Hu Zhizhi’s whereabouts. He had also wanted to suppress his own selfish desires.
However, he did not expect that Ling Yu would interrupt his reverie.
“Well, after all, Zhizhi is so cute, and it’s not like she’s the only spirit of the mountains and seas. There will be more chances in the future.”
Liu Yuan closed his eyes and continued his boring cultivation before the sun rose.
