Chapter 364: Chapter 359: Xihan

"Ha ha!"

The guard snickered twice.

"Girl, are you sure you want to cover this kid’s entrance fee?"

"Whoosh~"

A green light flashed as five pieces of stone, glimmering with a greenish-blue hue, floated in front of the guard. These stones were Low Grade Immortal Jade filled with Immortal Yuan Qi.

One guard raised his hand and grabbed the five Low Grade Immortal Jades in his palm.

"Tsk tsk!"

"I didn’t expect that. If this guy’s face were a bit paler, it really would have benefited him."

The guard mocked Yan Rufeng, which displeased the purple-clothed woman.

"Take the money and let him into the city. Where did all this nonsense come from? If you keep babbling, I’ll yank out all your teeth!"

"Whoa, impressive, my man!"

The guard was about to react when someone hurriedly whispered something in his ear, making him turn pale with cold sweat.

That guard then cautiously approached the purple-clothed woman, bowing deeply. "I didn’t know the young lady was here. I apologize for the poor reception, please forgive me!"

"Hehe!"

The purple-clothed woman covered her face and laughed. "Since you didn’t know, you’re not at fault. Stand down."

"Thank you, young lady."

"Which family’s young lady? The Zhao family?"

Yan Rufeng looked at the purple-clothed woman with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe!"

The purple-clothed woman smiled at Yan Rufeng. "Young master, you can safely enter the city now."

Yan Rufeng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your generosity, miss. If we meet again, I will repay you a hundredfold."

Yan Rufeng made a quick farewell to the purple-clothed woman and hurried away.

Before the purple-clothed woman could react, Yan Rufeng had already disappeared into the crowd.

"Hehe."

The purple-clothed woman smiled and murmured to herself, "Someone I fancy won’t get away that easily. People!"

Her voice had barely faded when two white-clothed women with short swords at their waists hurried to her side.

"Please give your orders, young lady!" The two white-clothed women bowed in unison.

The purple-clothed woman raised her tone, "Did you see that man named Yan just now?"

The two white-clothed women nodded and said, "Yes, young lady. We’ve memorized his appearance."

"Good. I want to see him within an hour!"

"We’ll set out right away!"

The purple-clothed woman was about to enter the city when she remembered something and hastily added, "Cai Yi, Cai Xia, remember, I want him alive, not dead!"

"Young lady can rest assured, Cai Yi and Cai Xia will take care of it..."

Two white shadows flashed, and Cai Yi and Cai Xia disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The purple-clothed woman also entered the city, surrounded by numerous white-clothed women.

The oppressive atmosphere at the city gate finally eased.

"Phew!"

Someone exhaled loudly. "The young lady from the Li family has finally left, but that Yan boy is in trouble."

"Ha, not necessarily!"

Another person laughed, "Daoist, in my opinion, that Yan boy is about to live a charmed life."

"Ha ha!"

Someone else scoffed, "A charmed life? Those caught by Li Xihan, the sole daughter of the Li family, live comfortably before they die. That boy, targeted by that demoness, might not survive three days..."

"Alas..."

One person sighed. "That Young Master Yan arrived by sword flight. He must have just ascended to the Immortal World. Who knew he’d encounter the Li family’s troublemaker so soon. A thousand years of cultivation, gone in a day..."

Someone chimed in, "Indeed, I’ve heard that the Li family’s Li Xihan has ruined dozens of handsome lads in the past month. That Young Master Yan won’t escape her clutches."

It wasn’t hard to tell from their conversation that Li Xihan, the only daughter of the Li family, was a notorious troublemaker who specifically targeted handsome men. It made one wonder if she was indeed as everyone said...

The rules in Feng City forbade private flying, and without a single piece of Immortal Jade, Yan Rufeng had to walk to the Zhao Mansion. Half an hour later, following his memories, he reached the fork leading to the Zhao family.

With no time to admire the city’s splendor, Yan Rufeng just wanted to reach the Zhao family and meet the Family Head as soon as possible.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

Two white shadows flashed, and two white-clothed women appeared before Yan Rufeng.

"Zing~"

A sword rang out as one of the women, Cai Yi, pointed a short sword at Yan Rufeng.

"Young Master Yan, our young lady wishes to see you. Please do not resist and come with us."

"Young lady?"

Yan Rufeng scratched his head, puzzled. "Is it the purple-clothed woman who covered my entrance fee?"

The other woman, Cai Xia, nodded and said, "Young Master Yan, the one who paid your entrance fee is indeed our young lady."

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled.

"I’m busy; I have no time to meet your young lady."

"Ha!"

Cai Xia coldly laughed, "Young Master Yan, are you sure you don’t want to see our young lady?"

"I’m sure!"

"Huh!"

Cai Yi, pointing her sword at Yan Rufeng, snorted coldly and said, "Refusing kindness for punishment. Sister, let’s just take him down."

Cai Xia smiled slightly and cupped her hands. "Young Master Yan, please excuse us."

"Zing~"

With a sword ring, Cai Xia had drawn her short sword.

Two sword glows shot straight at Yan Rufeng’s face.

"Ah!"

Yan Rufeng let out a bitter laugh and thought to himself, "Judging by their stance, if I don’t meet their young lady today, they won’t let me off..."

"Alas..."

Yan Rufeng shook his head and sighed.

"Fine, I’ll go with you."

"Ha, scared now?"

Yan Rufeng didn’t reply.

Cai Yi coldly said, "If you knew this would happen, you wouldn’t have resisted. It’s good that you’re scared now."

Yan Rufeng chuckled to himself, ignoring Cai Yi.

The experienced Cai Xia sheathed her short sword and hurriedly said, "Young Master Yan, we apologize for any offense. Please don’t hold it against us sisters."

Cai Yi said coldly, "Sister, why be so polite to someone who just ascended to the Immortal World?"

Cai Xia glared at Cai Yi, and seeing Cai Yi remain silent, she turned to Yan Rufeng and said, "Young Master Yan, our young lady has probably grown impatient. Let’s proceed now!"

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Please, lead the way."

Cai Yi and Cai Xia led Yan Rufeng on a half-hour journey to a pavilion named ’Fengqiao Water’.

Music played, beautiful melodies and songs floated around Yan Rufeng’s ears.

Cai Yi and Cai Xia walked to the purple-clothed woman’s side and remained silent.

"Why does this tune sound so strange?"

Standing at the pavilion entrance, Yan Rufeng took a step forward and smiled.

"I wonder what business the young lady has with me?"

The purple-clothed woman didn’t stop playing, but her lips curled into a smile.

"Young Master Yan, make yourself comfortable. Just listen to me finish this tune."
