Chapter 1736: Chapter 1736: Gone Out Wandering Again?

“An Jiuyue, this chestnut cake tastes good, is there any more?”

“Yes.”

An Jiuyue’s mouth twitched as she took out a plate of pastries from her storage s.p.a.ce and handed it to Zhan Beiye.

However, her heart ached… This was Qingyun Sect they were in, and they represented the Xiang Dynasty. Was Zhan Beiye sure he wouldn’t lose face for the Xiang Dynasty by acting like a starving ghost reincarnated?

What did Zhan Beiye have to fear? He wasn’t from the Xiang Dynasty. The face of the Xiang Dynasty should be earned by Xiang Qiyan.

They had already dragged Xiang Qiyan back from Ghost Gate Pa.s.s; what was it to lose a bit of his face now? Could Xiang Qiyan really hold it against him?

“By the way, I’ve inquired about the item you wanted.”

Suddenly, he pulled up a chair in front of the two and began speaking in a hushed tone.

“Hmm?”

An Jiuyue raised an eyebrow, not knowing the reason.

Had he found out something about the Heart-protecting Jade? Surely they wouldn’t be unable to obtain the Heart-protecting Jade, would they?

“I heard that the Heart-protecting Jade is the key to unlock the Flame Mountain Range, which is why Qingyun Sect values it more than their own life and death, and likely would not lend it out easily,” he said.

“Where did you hear that?”

Qian Jiyun, with a hint of resignation in his eyes, asked Zhan Beiye.

They had ascended the mountain together, of course, and he was aware that Zhan Beiye had slipped away once. He had thought Zhan Beiye went to take care of some pressing personal matter.

Could it be that he went to gather information about the Heart-protecting Jade?

“There’s a Guardian Jade Hall in Qingyun Sect, housing only the Heart-protecting Jade, and there’s an array formation inside. It is said that only the Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect can open it,” Zhan Beiye added.

“I’m telling you, that Guardian Jade Hall is s.h.i.+ning with golden light; it nearly blinded me earlier!” he couldn’t resist complaining.

“You’ve been wandering off again?”

Qian Jiyun really felt helpless. This place was neither Huayan Peak nor Zhan Beiye’s own plane. If Zhan Beiye got into trouble while wandering off, they wouldn’t even be able to save him in time.

“I was just looking around. Isn’t this gathering some information for you? I also heard that there are twenty-thousand entrants to the Flame Compet.i.tion,” Zhan Beiye said.

Selecting a hundred people out of twenty-thousand? This compet.i.tion seemed excessively fierce.

Upon hearing his words, neither of them felt much; after all, no matter how many people there were, they both wanted to explore the Flame Mountain Range. Besides, now that Zhan Beiye had mentioned that the Heart-protecting Jade was related to the Flame Mountain Range, they were even more determined to go and see for themselves.

…

They sat in the reception room for a long time, listening to the Sect Leader and the Great Elder flatter Prince Yuun and plead for mercy.

Eventually, an agreement was reached. Qingyun Sect would serve the Xiang Dynasty for the next fifty years, and they put it in writing, swearing by the heavenly oath, thus sealing the matter.

Both the Sect Leader and the Great Elder heaved a sigh of relief.

To get past this incident by selling out Qingyun Sect for fifty years, they must remind the disciples of the Sect to never cause trouble when outside. They did not wish to experience something like this ever again.

Just when they thought the matters here were settled, and they were considering inviting Prince Yuun to the Flame Compet.i.tion, they heard Prince Yuun speak again.

“In addition to the task entrusted by Lord Yaan, I have another matter for which I require Qingyun Sect’s a.s.sistance,” he said.

“Please do not hesitate, Your Highness; just command us,” replied the Sect Leader immediately, jokingly. Starting from now, Qingyun Sect was at the service of the Xiang Dynasty, and the tasks entrusted by Prince Yuun would naturally be handled thoroughly.
