Chapter 83: Not Going!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The surroundings were originally quite noisy.

Some of the hotheaded young men muttered, “How can they be so overbearing? They’ve occupied the entire city gate. We’ve been waiting for half a day. There’s such a long line. They can’t possibly chase us away, right?”

At this time, some people would come out and explain what the mysterious dark family was, and why they had such a big group of people, directly making a reservation for a carriage.

Or they were shocked that even the coachman was so beautiful and had a cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage.

Some even talked about the species of the two strange beasts pulling the carriage, how rare and precious the decorations on the carriage were, and even the scent coming out of the carriage could be analyzed.

And so on and so forth.

After all, even though they were not the ones showing off, it was still a great thing to brag about others.

However, when the person in the car spoke, everyone quieted down.

All of the spectators wanted to see what the people of the Xuanyin family were doing in the City of Ten Thousand Swords.

In Shanyang, the word ‘aristocratic family’ represented a completely different concept from sects. Sects were based on ability, but the aristocratic families were based on bloodline.

This was because aristocratic families were formed because of some special cultivation physiques and constitutions that could be passed down for generations.

The most famous were the three great aristocratic families, the Xuanyin family, the Wugou family, and the Huaxu family.

Xuanyin, Wugou, and Huaxu represented different physiques, each with their own unique characteristics.

And the most peculiar thing about the Xuanyin family was that they only had women.

Xuanyin, as the name suggested, was the ultimate Yin Qi.

Only women had the Xuanyin Constitution, and they did not have any Yang Qi in their bodies. As a result, even though they were able to cultivate Yin-attribute cultivation techniques at an amazing speed, their bodies were still very weak.

The reason why they were all women was that they were born with a Xuanyang Pearl. As long as they reached the right age and refined the pearl, they could simulate the fusion of yin and yang and trigger the rules of reincarnation, thus getting pregnant.

It was still born with the Xuanyin Constitution, accompanied by a Xuanyang Pearl.

It was equivalent to self-conception, and it was endless.

Of course, the Xuanyin family would sometimes recruit foreign dignitaries from the outside world, but they only recruited women and rejected all men.

Normally, this constitution would attract the covetous eyes of many cultivators, but the Xuanyin Constitution’s talent in cultivation was truly terrifying. Basically, one would reach the Soul Formation stage within 100 years.

However, because of their physiques, their cultivation did not increase their lifespans and they would quickly wither.

The three big families of the Central Plains were very powerful. Ordinary cultivators and sects could not afford to offend them. However, some small families were different. Many of them were enslaved by sects or individuals, plundering their bloodlines to cultivate or to give their descendants a higher starting point.

But even so, the three aristocratic families rarely appeared in public, and it was unheard of for them to attend the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event.

Why did they suddenly come to his door?

The crowd whispered as they looked at the carriage, curiously guessing what had happened.

The hand that had lifted the curtain of the carriage was slender and pale. The wrist bone was protruding, the neat nails were pale pink, and the fingertips were almost transparent. Just by looking at it, one could feel that the owner of the hand must be a slender and weak girl.

“Xiu’er,”

The person in the car coughed twice again, his voice soft and gentle.

The pretty and lively girl quickly turned around and replied, “Young Mistress.”

These two short words caused another round of exclamations.

The Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family, Ye Cike!

“Why is the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family here? She shouldn’t be a swordsman, so why is she here to watch the tide and listen to the sword?”

“In the Battle of the Thousand-feet Cliff, Ye Cike used the Xuanyin secret technique, ‘Falling Snow Blade’. The snowstorm lasted for three days, and the entire cliff was cut off. Most of the people from Bi Luo Mansion who besieged her were killed, and the rest were cut into human poles. I guess… this can also be considered swordsmanship?”

“Who said she’s definitely here to participate in the competition? Didn’t you hear that he’s made an appointment with the City Lord? There might be something that the Xuanyin family and the Shandi Sword Pavilion want to discuss.”

“In that case, there might be a big event that is going to happen…”

“…”

Liu Yuan had already retreated to the edge of the crowd. When he heard the people around him talking about Ye Cike again, his eyelids twitched again. He felt like he was surrounded by enemies from all sides.

The Illustrated Handbook page had been activated.

[Character: Ye Cike (5-star)]

[Status: Normal/weak]

[Attribute interface (click to view)]

Card carrying bonus: (carry or not: (yes/no)]

Liu Yuan closed it after taking a glance. If he were to carry her card now, it would be equivalent to seeking death.

In the carriage, Xiu’er put her hand on the curtain. The girl inside the carriage took her hand back. It was so dark that they could not see her clearly.

The group of cultivators who had been looking forward to seeing her face could not help but feel a little disappointed.

On the other hand, Liu Yuan was very pleased because Ye Cike was a more traditional young lady from a big family. Since he already had a husband, he should not show his face in public.

…No, why should I be relieved!

Damn it, she might be here to capture him and use him as a stick!

“Something’s wrong. How did she get here again…? Could it be that I have some invisible buff on me?”

After thinking for a while, Liu Yuan opened the Encyclopedia and checked on Ye Cike’s skill status. He found that there was a problem with one of her skills.

‘Divination’.

“…”

Liu Yuan silently closed the interface and tactically leaned back.

How could he have forgotten that this was a Xianxia world, and that there was a skill called Divination?

In the game, the most they could do was calculate the coordinates of the other party or display the next skill that the other party would use in an instant. It was rather useless. However, after transmigrating, it could be considered useful.

“I hope no more people come. Originally, on the way to the Central Plains, we would have definitely met a few places. If more people come, I’ll have to plan a grand escape.”

Liu Yuan prayed to himself and carefully retreated to a corner. He pulled Gu Chang and could finally leave.

He had just turned around.

“Everyone, please stay.” Xiu’er jumped off the carriage and said with a smile, “My Young Mistress said that she came in a hurry today, and the guards were inevitably flustered, causing trouble and dissatisfaction to everyone. She feels very guilty, so she asked me to give everyone 50 spirit stones as compensation… Please come forward to collect them.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other. They thanked each other, praised the aristocrat family’s elegance, and happily went to collect the spirit stones. They were even more enthusiastic and orderly than when they had lined up to enter the city.

Liu Yuan, “…”

This must be on purpose!

Ye Cike must have already figured out that he was nearby!

However, the Dream Bubble had canceled out some of his aura, so he could not tell where he was. He simply had the people around him go forward.

Although Liu Yuan really wanted to leave, who would not want to get spirit stones for free?

If he left at this time, it would attract even more attention, damn it.

Liu Yuan could almost imagine the young girl in the carriage covering her mouth and chuckling. His scalp went numb as he watched the people around him step forward one by one.

“Master, are we going or not?” Gu Chang raised his head and asked hesitantly.

Liu Yuan bit the bullet and gritted his teeth, “I’m not going!”

He did the exact opposite and pulled Gu Chang away from the crowd.
