Yan Qing was deep in thought. "I heard that back at Grotto-Heaven Cliff, Fourth Young Master Lin was deeply liked by many women. But because his body was weak, marriage was still not decided…"

Even though these things were detailed, the information in Yan Qing's hands far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed by Rong Xiu's side for so long and handled everything so cleanly.

Yu Mo was stunned and spat out the tea leaves in his mouth with difficulty. "Y-you're talking about Lin Zhifei?!"

The fourth young master of Grotto-Heaven Cliff is Lin Zhifei, but the key is… Why did Yan Qing suddenly mention him at this time and even ask if he looked good?!

Yu Mo looked at Yan Qing as if he had seen a ghost. "What does it have to do with you whether he looks good or not? No—Yan Qing, are you alright?!"

This isn't the Yan Qing I know at all! This guy usually doesn't even care if a woman is good-looking. Now, he actually asked if a man was—

Yu Mo's eyes gradually turned from shock and confusion to alarm. "Wait, wait! You, you can't be…"

He suddenly thought of something and threw away the teacup in his hand. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and broke down nervously. "F*ck!"

Could it be that Yan Qing has always liked men?! In the past, we have eaten and lived together for many years! At the thought of this, Yu Mo felt like he was going crazy.

Yan Qing frowned, and the look of disdain on his face was overwhelming. "Even if I really like men, do you think you're worthy?"

Yu Mo: "…???"

Does that mean that I have misunderstood? However, why do these words sound so awkward?!

Seeing Yan Qing's gaze, Yu Mo realized what he was like at this moment and felt embarrassed.

"Ahem! It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" He let go and rubbed his nose uncomfortably. "I… I'm just concerned about my brother!"

Yan Qing's brows furrowed even more tightly, and a rare look of frustration flashed across his eyes. I must've been muddle-headed to ask Yu Mo this question. I don't know how far his brain can go.

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably vexed and stood up to leave.

"Eh? Why are you leaving? We haven't finished talking!" Seeing that Yan Qing was about to leave, Yu Mo hurriedly followed but didn't dare to get too close. "I'm sorry, okay? Tell me—"

Thump!

Yan Qing walked into the room and closed the door, cutting off the noise.

"Si—" Yu Mo gasped and held his nose. It hurts! This kid really didn't hold back!

Moreover, why is he especially irritable today? Who provoked him? Yu Mo felt wronged, but he wasn't angry. Yan Qing didn't look right. Perhaps… should I look into other aspects?

Chu Liuyue and the others traveled extremely fast, and they arrived at the entrance of Peach Blossom Dock about an hour later.

From afar, a huge screen of light descended from the sky.

A powerful and vast pressure faintly spread from above. This was the realm gate, an existence that connected the God Residence Realm to the outside world.

The Yue Manor people in charge of guarding this place all bowed when they saw them. "Greetings, Master Yue!"

Chu Liuyue nodded, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.

These people were handpicked by San San and were all trustworthy.

She sized up the realm gate for a while but didn't find anything unusual. "Cen Yi, you said that the situation here is special… What's going on?"

​ Cen Yi walked forward for a distance and was only a step away from the entrance—it was within reach. "Master, come and take a look."

With doubts in her heart, Chu Liuyue walked over.

It wasn't until she stood still that she finally saw that something was wrong with the entrance.

The energy fluctuations of this realm gate… seemed abnormal.

Chu Liuyue stretched her hand out.

The moment her slender fingers touched the glowing light screen, ripples spread out. A dangerous aura suddenly swept over from the light screen!

Her heart skipped a beat, and a reddish-gold flame quickly surged out. But the next moment, the ball of flames seemed to be quickly dragged into the light screen by an invisible hand!

Rumble!

Sparks flew everywhere!

"Master, be careful! Cen Yi seemed to have expected this. He immediately made a move and set up a green barrier in front of her!

Fragments of light and fire splashed onto the barrier, emitting an ear-piercing sizzling sound before quickly extinguishing.

At this moment, the ball of flames had completely disappeared! Only the ripples were left on the light screen.

Chu Liuyue held her breath in. At this moment, she realized that these ripples had already formed a vortex when they gathered together!

The vortex was extremely shallow; it was almost impossible to tell from the front. If the ball of fire just now hadn't been swallowed by it, it would've been very difficult for Chu Liuyue to discover this.

In next to no time, the vortex gradually calmed down and regained its initial calm appearance. It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Chu Liuyue furrowed her brows. This realm gate is indeed different from ordinary realm gates. This place… contains an extremely dangerous power!

She had no doubt that if someone passed by this place, the final outcome would be exactly the same as the devoured flame. At that time, one's life would be in danger!

Such a realm gate is extremely dangerous and can no longer operate normally! No wonder Cen Yi insisted on inviting me over to take a look personally.

"When did this realm gate… become like this?" Chu Liuyue turned around and looked at the guards.

The person in front hurriedly said, "Replying to Master Yue, this situation isn't sudden. Ever since all the members of the Black Sword Sect were killed, we came here to replace them. On the first day, this realm gate was still fine. But as time passed, there were gradual changes. This lasted until yesterday, and we couldn't enter or leave at all then."

"Originally, we wanted to report it today. But Lord Cen Yi happened to be here, so we—"

Actually, they couldn't be blamed for not discovering it in time. During this period of time, the entire Peach Blossom Dock was under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

The realm gate was completely sealed off.

They were only in charge of guarding the place. Moreover, this change happened silently. There were almost no flaws on the surface, so it was normal for them to only know now.

Chu Liuyue looked at Cen Yi. "What do you think?"

Cen Yi paused for a moment. "I'm guessing that perhaps… this is caused by external forces."

These few words contained a lot of information. That was because this wasn't an ordinary barrier but the realm gate!

This light screen was naturally formed and had existed for tens of thousands of years! Who could have such a powerful force that could affect it to such an extent!?

Suddenly, a voice sounded. "There is a Xuan formation hidden within this realm gate."

Chu Liuyue turned her head and realized that Lin Zhifei had walked over. He was standing in front of the realm gate, staring at her intently.

Her heart tingled. "Why do you say that?"
