For the past two days, the news that the Ninth Imperial Uncle had applied to the Duke's Residence and that Emperor Nanling had arranged a marriage for the Third Prince and Yan Jinfeng spread like wildfire. Although the Ninth Empire's Uncle was much more mysterious and powerful than the Third Prince, the man remained self-effacing and often disappeared. It was difficult for ordinary people to know about him, so the topic of his conversation was much more popular than Ye Chenping.
With fewer topics, there is certainly less attention. Although the people outside did not know why the Ninth Imperial Uncle had suddenly proposed to Xue Fanxin of the Duke's Residence, not many people had gone to investigate the matter thoroughly. On the other hand, the engagement of Ye Chenping and Yan Jinfeng had caused quite a stir.
"You've heard? Lian Bingyu was furious at the marriage between the Third Prince and Yan Jinfeng. He went to the Imperial Advisory House and caused a commotion several times!”
“This issue has spread. Who doesn't know? Everyone in the Imperial City knew that Lian Bingyu liked the Third Prince. Hasn't Li Yaoyao met the Third Prince before? In the end, he disappeared without a trace. I think he must have been killed by Lian Bingyu. Now that it is Yan Jinfeng's turn, I wonder if he will finally be better than Li Yaoyao?”
“How can Li Yaoyao compare to Yan Jinfeng? Li Yaoyao was just an orphan girl living in the Duke's Residence. He has no authority, power, or background. He was not even favored by the Duke. Without anyone protecting him, he naturally died quickly. But Yan Jinfeng was different. She was the Young Miss of the Imperial Advisory House. Not only was he favored, but he was also a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. It might not be easy for Lian Bingyu to touch Yan Jinfeng.”
At this moment, the entire Imperial City was filled with gossip about Lian Bingyu and Yan Jinfeng. There are all sorts of rumors.
Perhaps because the two were too popular, Xue Fanxin was forgotten. There's not much gossip about him.
To Xue Fanxin, the gossip was like a weed growing outside. It has nothing to do with him. Even if that happened, he didn't have time to care. He's busy!
Early in the morning, Xue Batian found him and prepared many things. He piled everything in front of him and sent him out reluctantly, watching him climb into Ye Jiushang's carriage.
“Uncle of the Ninth Empire, don't forget what you promised me. A month later, you should bring little Xin'er back safely. Also, you can't bully him. Even if he is your fiancee, you cannot act recklessly, or I will fight you.”
“Grandfather, don't worry. Your granddaughter cannot be taken lightly. If he dares to bully me, I will castrate him.” Xue Fanxin sat in the carriage and spoke to Xue Batian through the window. The content of their conversation made Ye Jiushang who was sitting inside speechless.
This little girl actually dared to say that she was going to castrate him. It seems he should educate her properly.
While everyone in the Imperial City was busy thinking about Lian Bingyu and Yan Jinfeng, Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang had already boarded a luxurious carriage and were heading out of the city.
“Ah Jiu, where exactly did you take me? Can't you tell me now?” Xue Fanxin asked impatiently after leaving the city gate, wanting to know the purpose of her trip.
“Ke cave where we first met.” Ye Jiushang was gracefully and lazily lying on a padded carriage chair with his eyes closed. His tone was relaxed, and after saying that, he opened his eyes and looked at Xue Fanxin earnestly. "I want to train you properly."
"What?"
Why did he suddenly have such a bad feeling?
Ye Jiushang brought Xue Fanxin out of the city secretly. Then, he came to the cave where they first met. The crystal coffin in the cave was still intact.
“Ah Jiu, why did you take me back to this place?” Xue Fanxin asked curiously as she studied the exquisite crystal coffin. She was not worried that Ye Jiushang would do anything to her.
If she was afraid that he would do something to her, she would not follow him.
"Follow me." Ye Jiushang opened the lid of the crystal coffin and brought Xue Fanxin down.
Ye Jiushang did not answer. He simply reached out and pressed the mechanism in the coffin. Then, the entire coffin slowly descended like an elevator.
Xue Fanxin did not panic at all. Instead, he felt excited and said, “Ah Jiu, I did not expect your crystal chest to have such a secret. Where does the bottom of this crystal coffin lead?”
“Mountains Origin Spirit.”
“Spirit Origin Mountains? What's that place?"
"You will know when we get there," the mysterious Ye Jiushang said. The crystal coffins had stopped descending, and they seemed to have reached their destination.
Ye Jiushang opened the crystal coffin lid again and flew with Xue Fanxin.
With his body in the air, Xue Fanxin saw a beautiful painting. The sight was even more beautiful than the peach blossoms in the book. Clear water, birds chirping, flowers blooming, red and green. Such a beautiful sight was only seen in the painting, but it was actually here.
“Wow... Beautiful once!”
After Ye Jiushang brought Xue Fanxin to the ground, he said, “This is the Spirit Origin Mountain Range. A month ahead, you will have to undergo countless training and assessment sessions here.”
"What?" Xue Fanxin simply admired the beautiful scenery and enjoyed the tranquility of the place. However, Ye Jiushang's words shattered all of his good mood and excitement. "You brought me here for training?"
“Do you think you're here to play? With your current qualifications and abilities, it is impossible for you to enter the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Of course, I can send you through my connection, but..”.
“If I want to enter the Heavenly Spirit Sect, I will definitely enter with my own abilities. However...why should I enter it in the first place? Do I have to go in just because you want it?”
“A myriad of Spirit Ponds of the Heavenly Spirit Sect is a good thing.”
"What is the Myriad Spirit Pool for?"
“It has the same effect as the Imperial Palace Marrow Cleansing Bath, but the effect is even better. It could be the top rank in Tongxuan Continent. For a novice cultivator like you, this is the best cultivation resource. Even though you used the Spirit Resurrection Potion and immersed yourself in the Imperial Palace Marrow Cleansing Bath, there is still a lot of impurities in your body. Less than a tenth of them have been cleaned to be exact. Although I have some good stuff I have, it is not very suitable for you at the moment.”
Xue Fanxin understood what Ye Jiushang meant. This was just like how an ordinary person's body would not be able to withstand the sudden consumption of something too nutritious.
"But what if I can't get into the Heavenly Spirit Sect?" Xue Fanxin pouted at Ye Jiushang and asked jokingly.
Ye Jiushang used his hand to flick his forehead and tease him in response, "If you really can't enter the Heavenly Spirit Sect, then, I will go and take that Myriad Spirit Pond for you to enjoy alone."
If the Heavenly Spirit Sect was truly unwise and did not let her future empress enter, she did not mind getting rid of the Heavenly Spirit Sect of Tongxuan Continent.
It was an honor for them to have the woman use the Myriad Spirit Pond in their sect. If they dared to refuse, they would all be sent flying ..
