At this time.
The refined-looking young man shouted, "Old Zhao! Be polite in front of Master Chen's fortune-telling shop, don't be so presumptuous!"
The effeminate man glanced at the noble-looking young man, a cold glint in his eyes, but in the end he still followed the noble-looking young man's instructions and withdrew his cultivation technique.
then,
The noble-looking young man politely cupped his hands to Xie Yanke and said, "Please forgive me, great hero. My servant was a bit rash. Please don't take it to heart."
Since Master Chen has gone out for a stroll today, we'll come again tomorrow..."
After saying that, he gave Xie Yanke an apologetic smile and turned to leave.
Seeing him leave, the effeminate man gave Xie Yanke a cold glance before following him away.
Xie Yanke watched their retreating figures, lost in thought.
At this moment, Tong Xiangyu, Guo Furong, and others came over and said angrily, "Old Xie, who are those two people? They seem very arrogant."
Xie Yanke stroked his beard and replied, "Judging from their attire, they should be from the Qin Empire."
Judging from their tone, they must have come to scout out the way for a very important person of great status.
As for the specific identity of that important person, I have no idea.
However, to have a Grandmaster as a servant, that person's status must be extremely extraordinary..."
Tong Xiangyu and the others were shocked.
To be able to command a Grandmaster as a servant to scout ahead, that important figure from the Great Qin Dynasty is indeed extraordinary; he's probably a terrifying existence standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Provinces... Damn.
Chapter 221 Yang Guang, Empress Xiao, and many masters from the Demonic Sect arrive
Outside Qixia Town, on an unnamed mountain peak.
Chen Yan, along with four women—Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, Wuqing, and Wang Yuyan—and their dog Ah Huang, were playing together.
With bright sunshine, blooming flowers, and a gentle breeze, it's a perfect time for an outing.
The four girls were extremely excited; some picked flowers, others walked their dogs, and they had a great time.
Chen Yan also basked in the sunlight, feeling the gentle breeze, as if his whole heart had opened up.
Near noon.
The four girls, Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, and Wuqing, began preparing lunch. Apart from Wang Yuyan, Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, and Wuqing all had extensive experience in wilderness survival and were also quite skilled at outdoor cooking.
Chen Yan wanted to help, but Wanwan pushed him away with a look of disgust.
"With so many women around, it's not your place to get in the way."
"A wise man keeps away from the kitchen..."
Wang Yuyan was helping with the fire, her face covered in soot, and she spoke in a serious tone.
Is there such a good thing?
Chen Yan, who was kicked out, was secretly pleased. He was not a particularly diligent person to begin with, and being spared from cooking meant he was happy to have some peace and quiet.
"Men in this era have it so easy. The husband is the head of the household, and he's the one who calls the shots at home. He doesn't even have to cook..."
Chen Yan was in a good mood and took Ah Huang to the side to slack off.
More than half an hour later.
The aroma of roasted meat and simmering soup filled the air, signaling the start of the meal.
This was the first time Chen Yan had tried cooking from several women, and surprisingly, they were all quite good, making him very hungry.
During the meal, Wanwan blinked, looked at Shi Feixuan and the other two, and suddenly suggested, "Since we're all following him, why don't we rank them by age?"
"OK……"
Her suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by Wang Yuyan and Wuqing, and Shi Feixuan also nodded slightly.
At last.
Shi Feixuan is a few months older than Wanwan, so she is the older sister.
Wanwan was a few months older than Wuqing, so she was the second older sister.
Wang Yuyan was a few months younger than Wuqing; they were the third and fourth sisters, respectively.
Seeing his four women getting along harmoniously, Chen Yan was in a good mood and interjected, "My four ladies, I wish you all to become more and more beautiful, stay young forever, have many children and grandchildren..."
The four women were initially happy after hearing the first part of Chen Yan's blessing.
But by the end, their faces flushed slightly, and they spat at him fiercely.
The four women worked together, piling food into his bowl, trying to shut him up.
In no time, Chen Yan's bowl was full.
Seeing Chen Yan's resentful look as he held a full bowl of food, the four women exchanged glances and burst into laughter. Ah Huang also chimed in with a cheerful shout, creating a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere...
after lunch.
Chen Yan sat under a big tree to rest, and Shi Feixuan came over, sat down next to him, and talked to him.
They hadn't even exchanged a few words yet.
Perhaps it was because I was too tired last night, or perhaps it was because I had never felt so relaxed before.
Shi Feixuan rested her head on Chen Yan's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Yan felt a pang of heartache seeing her sleeping peacefully.
This fairy-like woman has carried immense pressure since childhood, and it's likely that she rarely has a moment as relaxed as she does now.
Right now, I'm adjusting my position slightly so that Shi Feixuan can lean against me and sleep more comfortably...
far away.
Wanwan, Wuqing, and Wang Yuyan were happily flying kites, while Ah Huang ran around them, having a great time as well.
The three girls were the same; they had all carried pressure or constraints since childhood, and rarely had the opportunity to relax like this...
"I wish time could stand still at this moment..."
Wanwan held the kite string in her hand, her heart filled with emotion.
Although she was the Holy Maiden of the Yin Kui Sect, the intrigue and backstabbing within the Demonic Sect had made her life difficult over the years.
Fortunately, she still has her master, Zhu Yuyan, to protect her, so she doesn't have to live too hard.
"Actually, Master has always worked very hard..."
Suddenly, the image of her master, Zhu Yuyan, popped into Wanwan's mind.
Zhu Yuyan.
The leader of the Yin Kui Sect, a leading figure within the Great Sui Demonic Sect, appears to hold a high position, but in reality, he faces immense pressure.
As the leader of the Demonic Sect, one must not only face powerful external enemies.
Even within the Yin Kui faction, there is no monolithic entity; numerous factions exist.
Putting aside other matters, among the elders, quite a few outwardly submit to Zhu Yuyan but inwardly disagree...
Just as Wanwan was secretly feeling sentimental for her master, Zhu Yuyan.
Suddenly, a strange bird call, three long and two short, reached her ears.
Upon hearing this voice, her expression changed slightly.
Wuqing and Wang Yuyan, who were flying kites with her, were also slightly puzzled, as this was the first time they had ever heard such a strange bird call.
"That's a unique communication signal used by our Yin Kui Sect."
Explanation of 绾绾.
Wuqing and Wang Yuyan were taken aback, before they could even ask a question.
Wanwan handed the kite string to Wuqing and said with a smile, "It's alright, you guys play with it first, I'll be right back..."
Done.
Her figure unfolded, like a fairy walking on water, treading on the misty grass and trees. Before long, her graceful figure had already been projected into the opposite mountain peak.
Just now, that strange bird call came from these mountains...
…………
Wanwan entered the mountains where strange bird calls were coming from, and suddenly, her brows furrowed.
With her current strength, which is close to that of a Grandmaster, she can easily sense that there are many experts hidden in this mountain.
Furthermore, judging from the aura of these experts, they are not from the Yin Kui Sect, or even the Great Sui Demonic Sect...
Upon realizing this, Wanwan's heart stirred, as if she understood something.
At this time.
A figure floated down from the mountaintop.
The newcomer was dressed in a black gauze dress, mature and charming, like a ripe peach at its peak, and possessed a noble temperament. Every gesture she made carried an air of authority and poise.
"Master."
