"For the past few years, I've been trying to find a way to repair your hidden meridians, but I haven't been able to, and I've long since given up."
"But after hearing what the Celestial Immortal said today, I realized that there is an even greater world outside, and your hidden meridians may still be saved."
Ji Ruofeng said earnestly.
Xiao Se looked down at his hands, then smiled. "I came here tonight to discuss this matter with my master. Could you lend me two million taels of silver?"
Ji Ruofeng immediately understood and asked, "What do you want to ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal?"
Xiao Se pointed to his hidden meridians, "I've been crippled for so many years, I have to know who did it, right?"
"I've been investigating this murderer for a long time but haven't been able to find him. I can only rely on the Celestial Immortal."
"As for lending you two million taels of silver, that's no problem. Bai Xiaotang has that kind of money."
"But you also have to do me a favor."
Ji Ruofeng said with a serious expression.
Seeing his master so serious for the first time, Xiao Se asked curiously, "What does Master want me to do?"
Ji Ruofeng said, "Are those girls with the Celestial Immortal today his maids? I'd like Ji Xue to become his maid as well."
Xiao Se was stunned upon hearing this. "Master wants my junior sister to become a maid for the Celestial Mystery Immortal? How can I possibly help with something like this?"
“This is very important to me.”
"Ye Ruoyi, who is by the side of the Celestial Immortal, is a friend you grew up with. It should be easier for you to help her than for me."
“I never ask for favors normally, this is the first time.”
Ji Ruofeng stared into Xiao Se's eyes as she spoke.
Xiao Se could only sigh, "Then I'll do my best."
Ji Ruofeng nodded in satisfaction, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly frowned and looked out the window.
"what happened?"
Xiao Se asked curiously.
Ji Ruofeng walked to the window, squinted, and said, "Someone has broken into the Dengtian Pavilion."
"What? After what happened with Minghou Yueji and the Dark River Organization, who would dare to be so bold? Isn't that just courting death!"
Xiao Se said incredulously.
"That's definitely courting death."
"He didn't even need the Celestial Immortal to lift a finger."
Ji Ruofeng said calmly, as if she had already anticipated the outcome.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a powerful burst of energy suddenly came from the direction of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.
Then, a masked man dressed in black was knocked down from the Ascension Pavilion.
"Who are you? Who ordered you to harm the Celestial Immortal?"
A clear, cold voice rang out in the air, and a stunningly beautiful figure emerged from the Ascending Heaven Pavilion—it was none other than Yaoyue, the Palace Master of the Shifting Flowers Palace.
Her face was cold as she landed steadily and walked up to the man in black.
The man in black clutched his chest, clearly seriously injured. He stopped pretending, ripped off the black cloth covering his face, and shouted:
"Song Yan Hui, the city lord of Wushuang City, has come to ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal for a swordsmanship challenge!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding martial arts practitioners were stunned.
Beili Wushuang City!
This force is quite powerful.
Although it can't compare to the Peerless City of the Han Dynasty, it is still quite famous in the Jianghu of Beili.
But Yaoyue sneered, "What insignificant character dares to challenge the Celestial Immortal for a swordsmanship?"
Song Yan was so angry that her face turned red, and she wished she could fight Yaoyue for another three hundred rounds.
But the sharp pain in his chest reminded him that this woman was not someone he could handle, and if he continued to push through, his life would be in danger.
Just then, the stunningly beautiful Yin Luoxia arrived. Seeing Song Yan Hui's disheveled appearance, she frowned and asked:
"What are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Yin Luoxia, Song Yanhui immediately said anxiously, "Luoxia, although I have wronged you, you cannot make such a decision about your life's most important matter so casually. The Celestial Immortal is high above us, and he is not a good match for you."
Yin Luoxia was exceptionally intelligent; upon hearing this, she immediately knew that it was her apprentice, Luo Mingxuan, who had secretly passed on some message. She coldly replied:
"Song Yan Hui, I don't know what you heard."
"But who Yin Luoxia likes is none of your business as an outsider."
Song Yan Hui did not give up and continued to persuade her: "Luo Xia, don't joke about your life's most important thing just to make me angry."
Yin Luoxia laughed immediately and said coldly:
"Song Yan Hui, how dare you say such a thing?"
"Are all the men in the world dead? Do I, Yin Luoxia, have to fall in love with you?"
"The Celestial Immortal is exceptionally talented, far surpassing you. It's only natural that I like him."
"I now only regret that I was blind back then and actually had even a slight feeling for you."
This bold and direct statement immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the onlookers.
You should know that Fairy Luoxia, Yin Luoxia, is a very famous figure in the martial arts world of Beili.
The Beili Rouge Ranking is updated every three years, and very few women can remain on the list for more than a decade.
Yin Luoxia is one of them.
Many young talents come to Snow Moon City just to see her, but they never expected that this fairy already has someone she loves, and that person is none other than the Celestial Immortal.
These words struck Song Yan Hui like a thunderbolt, leaving him completely unable to believe them.
"No way! No way! You must be lying to me!"
Song Yan shouted excitedly.
Yin Luoxia sneered, realizing she had been blind before, and shook her head, saying:
"Forget about the past. From today onwards, I don't want to see you again."
"Because seeing you makes me feel disgusted."
Only at this moment did Song Yan Hui finally understand that Yin Luo Xia was serious.
He then realized that Yin Luoxia was incredibly beautiful, something he had never noticed before.
The regret in his heart was more painful than when Yaoyue struck him in the chest with her "Flower-Shifting Jade Palm".
"Okay, I'll go."
Song Yan said in a hoarse voice and turned around.
"You just barged into the Heavenly Pavilion, and now you think you can leave so easily?"
Yaoyue spoke calmly, then flashed forward and pounced on Song Yanhui.
Song Yan hurriedly drew her sword to defend herself, but the sword in her hand was easily knocked away by Yaoyue.
The next moment, Yaoyue's palm was already pressed against his chest.
This time, instead of using the "Transferring Flowers and Receiving Jade Palm" technique, Yaoyue employed the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill".
Song Yan Hui immediately felt the internal energy in her dantian leaking out wildly, and her cultivation level dropped rapidly at a visible speed.
Song Yan finally felt scared.
But it's too late.
After absorbing all of his internal energy, Yaoyue ruthlessly blasted him away, coldly saying:
"If this were the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, someone as heartless as you would have been torn to pieces long ago."
"But now I am merely the Heavenly Mystery Immortal's guard. I will spare your life for now, but get out of here!"
Song Yan fell heavily to the ground, her dantian completely empty.
Thirty years of arduous cultivation of inner strength vanished overnight.
After hearing what Yaoyue said, he couldn't help but shudder, realizing how foolish he had made a mistake.
It’s too late to regret now.
"One, two, three..." Song Yan Hui looked as if she had aged twenty years, staggering towards the city gate.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at the gate of Snow Moon City.
On the city wall, which was several dozen feet high, a figure stood against the wind; it was none other than Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal.
“Song Yan Hui, I didn’t hold it against you for your unreasonable behavior several times before.”
“But this time, you tried to disturb Mr. Su, and as Mr. Su’s bodyguard, I am very angry.”
"If there is a next time, I will personally go to Wushuang City to ask for the sword."
Li Hanyi said coldly, and the Iron Horse Ice River Sword at her waist emitted a clear sound as it was drawn, drawing a cold light.
Although Song Yanhui's cultivation was destroyed, her insight remained.
Upon seeing Li Hanyi's sword strike, he immediately felt it was unattainable; even at his peak, he might not have been able to withstand it.
"Half-step Divine Travel Realm, you've actually broken through to the Half-step Divine Travel Realm."
Song Yan said in shock.
What broke his heart the most was that Li Hanyi, like Yaoyue, was a guardian of the Heavenly Mystery Immortal.
Only now did he truly realize how vast the gap was between himself and the Celestial Immortal.
"After I return today, I will never set foot in Wushuang City again."
Song Yan said hoarsely, and left Snow Moon City in a daze.
Li Hanyi finally seemed satisfied. She gazed at the direction of Dengtian Pavilion in the distance, her brows slightly furrowed.
