With his master here, where has Li Ping’an gone?”

While the three were speaking, some noises of commotion came from below the tavern.

“Xiaoyue the Immortal has arrived!”

“Truly, Xiaoyue the Immortal possesses a ravishing beauty.”

A wisp of immortal light shone, and a stunningly beautiful Immortal with two young girls ascended the stairs.

It was Xiaoyue, who had brought her two registered disciples in search of Qing Su.

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor glanced over and slightly frowned, whispering, “Indeed, someone has enhanced her fortune.”

By his side, Fenghou calculated with her fingers and explained, “This person is Xiaoyue, the consort of Wealthy Immortal Li Dazhi, who oversees the external affairs of the Wanyun Sect and is also responsible for Wanyun Sect’s business in Dong’an City.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor nodded slowly, “As expected, the talk of Great Fortune is not unfounded.”

“Your Majesty,” Tianli the elder asked softly, “what use is this Great Fortune?”

“Favored by the Heavenly Dao, everything goes smoothly.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor smiled:

“Although in ancient times our Human Race went against the Heavenly Court, opposing the Heavenly Dao, times have changed, and we should not view the Heavenly Dao in the same way anymore.

“We need not follow the Heavenly Dao in all things, but we should live in harmony with it.”

Tianli the elder pondered.

By the window, Xiaoyue had already stepped forward to greet with a bow, “Elder Qing Su.”

Qing Su stood up to return the gesture, casually setting up a layer of barrier and said in a low voice:

“Sit down and eat.”

Xiaoyue was not bashful and took her seat next to Qing Su, adding a pair of chopsticks and bowl for herself.

The conversation flowed without reservation, as Qing Su’s barrier of immortal power shielded them, making them unaware that a Great Power was nearby.

Xiaoyue inquired, “When did you return here?

And why is Ping’an not with you?

I’ve already sent a letter to Uncle Master Dazhi, he should be coming over, and Ningning will be joining him, too.”

After a moment of thought, Qing Su said, “He probably went to Drunken Moon Tower.”

“Drunken Moon Tower?” Xiaoyue couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh softly, “Really, Ping’an…

even with Ningning at home and so many immortals in the sect admiring him, he still has to visit Drunken Moon Tower.”

By the side, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor also sighed, “Ah, the folly of youth, he knows not the truth of the beauty of bones.”

Qing Su corrected, “My disciple went there to attend to proper matters.”

“I was just joking,” Xiaoyue said softly, “How have you been in the Eastern Alliance these past six months?”

Tianli the elder became tense in an instant, the ‘Attendant Student’ perked up his ears to listen, praying desperately in his heart, hoping that Qing Su wouldn’t say anything wrong.

Qing Su took a couple of bites of roasted fish, delicately reheated a few dishes with the touch of her slender fingers.

She spoke calmly, “Not too bad, spending my days roaming around, seeking advice on magical combat.

There hasn’t been much to deal with.

My disciple, however, has been rather busy; he has to stay locked up in some great halls every day, not allowed to leave until his work is done, and every now and then, he has to engage in wits with those people within the Eastern Alliance.”

“Alas.”

Xiaoyue sighed empathetically, saying:

“It must be hard for Ping’an, still so young, and he has to match wits with those ancient predecessors from inside the Eastern Alliance.

“It’s also a pity our Wanyun Sect isn’t among the top three major sects.

Forge-Heaven Gate taking advantage of having backers in the Eastern Alliance, indiscriminately bullies us.

Ping’an felt he had no choice but to go there, thinking if he could sever the connection between the Eastern Alliance and the Forge-Heaven Gate.

“Alas, I’ve calculated the accounts of Forge-Heaven Gate, and they can make several hundred or even a thousand spirit stones a year relying on the Eastern Alliance, with who knows how many Vice Alliance Hierarchs growing rich because of Forge-Heaven Gate, over tens of thousands of years, how can such ties be easily severed?”

After thinking for a moment, Qing Su said in a soft voice, “My disciple mentioned he has a new policy, but right now it can’t be revealed.”

“That new policy is indeed excellent,” Xiaoyue glanced towards the Inspectorate’s office, “it’s just that we took a small loss.

The land and property in Dong’an City were originally ours, and now they are managed by the Eastern Alliance.

I think asking for a rent increase requires going through a lot of red tape.”

Qing Su responded:

“Not that new policy.

My disciple said that the formation of the Inspectorate was something he had prepared long ago.

“He has an even greater new plan, it’s just that the time is not yet ripe.

“He means that the internal situation of the Eastern Alliance is too chaotic, with factions everywhere and no unifying lead.”

Xiaoyue covered her mouth and laughed lightly, “Then it’s up to Ping’an.”

Xiaoyue then switched topics, chatting with Qing Su while they dined.

Behind a nearby square table.

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Fenghou simultaneously turned their heads towards ‘Attendant Student’ Tianli.

The ‘Attendant Student’s’ forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and his hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor joked, “Young Master, having eaten our fill, shall we visit Drunken Moon Tower to see the dance?”

However, Fenghou said, “This matter requires further deliberation.

Visiting a house of ill repute, if others come to know, it may become a talking point.”

“Eh, there are no outsiders here, right, Dali?”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Fenghou looked smilingly at the ‘Attendant Student’.

Tianli the elder nearly couldn’t help but prostrate himself.
