Chapter 2284
by“It’s better to meet by chance than to gather on purpose. Ye Zi, how about going into the city together？ This young master newly obtained a pot of excellent Carbon Blood Black Tea at the beginning of the month. I was just worried that I couldn’t find anyone to appraise it. Would you do me the honor？” Qiu Yu turned around and looked at Ye Qinghan with a smile, issuing an invitation.
Ye Qinghan said coldly, “People with different paths don’t seek each other！”
After saying that, she greeted Du Xian and the others and said, “Senior Brother, let’s go！”
Du Xian nodded slightly, as if he was a general who had won a battle. He smiled at Qiu Yu and said, “Young Master Qiu, you can keep that black tea for yourself and drink it slowly. Don’t choke on it！”
“Hehe, thank you, Brother Du, for your concern！” Qiu Yu was not angry and replied with a smile.
Not long after, the people from Qianye Sect and others all entered the city together. Qiu Yu also seemed to feel a bit bored. He led those two old men into the city and disappeared into the crowd.
“Who is that Qiu Yu？ He looks very impressive.” After entering the city, Yang Kai asked curiously.
Ye Qinghan sighed and replied, “He is the young palace master of Tianzhao Palace. Tianzhao Palace has always been at odds with our Qianye Sect and has been trying to squeeze us out, but there has been no chance. However, it is heard that Qiu Ze, the palace master of Tianzhao Palace, is currently in seclusion to impact the Emperor Venerable Realm. If he can really succeed…”
Speaking of this, Ye Qinghan’s face showed a worried look.
Du Xian said, “Tianhe City is now in cahoots with Tianzhao Palace. If Qiu Ze really promotes to the Emperor Venerable Realm, then the future of our Qianye Sect is worrying.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai suddenly understood and realized that the new backer found by Tianhe City was probably that Tianzhao Palace.
Wu Ma said, “The Emperor Venerable Realm is not so easy to break through. Maybe that old bastard Qiu Ze will go berserk and die at the critical moment of the breakthrough.”
Everyone could hear that this was his curse, but since Qiu Ze dared to impact the Emperor Venerable Realm, he must have a certain degree of confidence. If he really breaks through successfully, then the Qianye Sect will really be in trouble.
“Master will naturally have considerations about this matter. We just need to do our own things well.” Du Xian saw that his senior brothers were in a low mood and quickly comforted them.
In Tianhe City, in front of a shop named “Tiankui Tower”. The people of Qianye Sect stopped.
Ye Qinghan explained to Yang Kai, “This is the largest industry of my Thousand Leaves Sect in Sky Crane City. If Young Master Yang doesn’t mind, you can stay here for a couple of days. After tomorrow’s ceremony this concubine will accompany Young Master Yang back to the sect.”
“Alright！” Yang Kai looked at the magnificent and luxuriously decorated Heavenly Puppet Building and nodded slightly.
It could be seen that this Heavenly Puppet Building must have been bustling with business before. Because building such a shop in such a prime location, the business surely couldn’t be bad. It was very likely that the place was full of people, with merchants and customers coming and going like crucian carp crossing the river.
Unfortunately, times have changed. Now, this Heavenly Puppet Building is actually deserted, with nothing but some goods placed on the shelves, covered in dust. A waiter dressed as a waiter is taking a nap behind the counter. He doesn’t know what good thing he is dreaming about, constantly making silly giggling sounds, and saliva is flowing down the corner of his mouth.
“This business… is really shabby.” Yang Kai sighed with a regretful expression.
Ye Qinghan smiled bitterly and said, “If there are some fierce guys blocking the front of a shop every day, using the signboard of the City Lord’s Mansion to pressure the passing customers, I’m afraid no one will come to buy things either.”
Hearing her say this, Yang Kai then noticed that not far in front of the Tiankui Tower, there were several fierce looking men, sneering and gazing at the entrance of the Tiankui Tower as if ready to take action at any time. However, upon seeing the logo belonging to the Qianye Sect on the clothes of Ye Qinghan and the others their complexions changed slightly and they turned away their gazes.
Yang Kai chuckled and said, “Your sect is really not doing well in this Tianhe City.”
Ye Qinghan’s expression darkened： “The situation is not in our favor… Please come in, Young Master Yang.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and followed Ye Qinghan into the store.
Du Xian and Wu Ma and the others looked at each other, all confused. Along the way, they also noticed that Ye Qinghan seemed to attach great importance to Yang Kai, treating him as a honored guest and being respectful and polite everywhere. But no matter how they looked, Yang Kai was just a warrior at the second level of the Dao Source Realm. They really couldn’t figure out what ability he had to make Ye Qinghan treat him so carefully.
But this was obviously not the time to ask more questions. The few people entered the store, and Wu Ma took a step forward, rushed to the counter and knocked a few times, waking up the waiter who was sound asleep.
The waiter should also be a disciple of the Thousand Leaves Sect. but his cultivation level is not high and his status is very low. When he saw Ye Qinghan and the others, he was so scared that his soul almost flew away. His face turned pale and he kept bowing his head to admit his mistake.
Ye Qinghan impatiently waved her hand and said, “Ask your shopkeeper to arrange a few upper rooms.”
“Yes, yes, yes. The little one will go and call the shopkeeper right away. You and the others just sit for a while. as if granted amnesty, ran away to the back hall in a hurry.
A moment later, a middle-aged old man walked out quickly from the back hall, came to Ye Qinghan and the others to bow, and led them to the back hall to settle down.
The ceremony was to be held tomorrow, so there was nothing to do today. After Ye Qinghan properly settled Yang Kai she returned to her own room and waited quietly for a while. Then she heard a soft knock on the door.
She moved her lotus steps lightly, opened the door, and saw Du Xian standing at the door with a bright smile on his face. Her face suddenly turned red, and after being fidgety for a while, she welcomed him into the room and they talked affectionately.
……
In the side room, Yang Kai was sitting cross-legged and resting.
This trip to Heavenly Crane City with Ye Qinghan was just a coincidence, so he just took it as it came.
But for some reason, today he was always a little restless. It seemed that something was going to happen in the dark, making it impossible for him to calm down and enter meditation.
This situation was happening for the first time. Yang Kai had never encountered such a thing before when he was cultivating.
He didn’t dare to be careless and used his spiritual thoughts to examine himself over and over again, for fear that there would be some hidden danger or the breeding of a heart demon due to improper cultivation.
But no matter how many times he checked, he didn’t find any problem. Instead, the feeling of restlessness and anxiety became more and more serious.
He frowned and thought, and found that this feeling seemed to have appeared since he entered Heavenly Crane City. It seemed that there was something in Heavenly Crane City that was affecting him.
This feeling came out of nowhere, but Yang Kai didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless. At his cultivation level, if there was no external force interference, it was simply impossible to shake the tranquility of his heart.
He thought hard but couldn’t figure it out. Helplessly, he sighed and stood up.
He originally wanted to say hello to Ye Qinghan and tell her that he was going out for a stroll to relax, but unexpectedly, as soon as he released his spiritual thoughts, he perceived that Ye Qinghan and Du Xian were being affectionate with each other in the side room. Suddenly, his face turned black.
The two of them didn’t do anything too out of line. It was just that Du Xian was holding Ye Qinghan’s jade hand, Youdaoplaceholder0 at her affectionately, and says his lovesickness. And Ye Qinghan was lowering her head, her cheeks were blushing and her slender neck was a shade of pink, exuding a porcelain-like luster.
Yang Kai quickly withdrew his spiritual awareness, fearing that if he looked any further, his eyes would grow sores.
Without saying a word to anyone else, Yang Kai’s figure flickered and he directly left the Heavenly Puppet Building. The next moment, he appeared on the bustling street.
Tianhe City can be considered a medium-sized city in the entire Southern Region in terms of scale. So whether it is the overall layout or the size, it is not something that Fenglin City can compare to. On the street wide enough to accommodate eight large horses running side by side, passing martial artists are like fish crossing the river, shoulder to shoulder in an endless stream.
There are many shops lined up on both sides of the street, and the shouts of hawking are one after another.
Perhaps because tomorrow is the day when the city lord takes a concubine, the entire Tianhe City appears cheerful. with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and it is extremely lively. The faces of those martial artists are also filled with joy, and I don’t know what they are happy about.
Yang Kai drifted with the flow. Before long, he came to a restaurant. Seeing that it was full of guests, he directly turned around and walked into the restaurant.
Immediately a warm shop assistant welcomed him. This shop assistant was also a martial artist, but his cultivation was not high only at the Saint Entry Jing level. With a smile on his face, he bowed and said to Yang Kai, “Please come in, sir. Sir looks quite unfamiliar. I wonder if sir is here to meet friends or drink alone?
Yang Kai looked at him and smiled, “Alone.”
The waiter understood and smiled, saying, “I see, sir, this way please!”
As he spoke, he led Yang Kai up to the third floor and arranged for him at a table by the window, smiling and saying, What would sir like to eat and drink? It’s not me boasting, but there really aren’t many restaurants in the entire Heavenly Crane City that can compare to ours. The ingredients used in our restaurant are all top-quality and fresh monster beast materials, spiritual flowers and fruits. Even for those with sir’s cultivation level, taking them can also improve cultivation and consolidate the foundation. If one gets a chance, perhaps one can break through and promote on the spot! This kind of thing has happened several times in our restaurant.”
“Oh？” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised, and said with a smile, “Then what do you think I should eat and drink with my cultivation level.”
The waiter giggled and said, “Sir, at a glance, you are a strong person at the Dao Source Realm. Naturally, you should use the best ingredients and the best wine. If there is a beautiful woman by your side adding fragrance with a red sleeve, tsk tsk… that would be better.
This waiter has been here all year round seeing people off and welcoming them and seems to have trained a pair of sharp eyes. Even though he is only at the Saint Entry Realm, he can actually see that Yang Kai is a strong person at the Dao Source Realm level. Moreover, he has a glib tongue, looks good, and is very likable.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Okay, you arrange it for me！”
The waiter’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this and said “I will definitely make sure you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, sir, you can break my bones and make soup.”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “Good. If there is even the slightest dissatisfaction, it will be as you wish！”
The waiter’s face turned black and he said, “Then I have to do my best.”
As he spoke, he immediately stepped back and seemed to go and make arrangements.
While waiting, Yang Kai sat by the window and looked at the scenery below, feeling quite interested. The depressed mood of the past few days was also swept away, and the previous feeling of unease seemed to disappear.
