Chapter 250: What is she doing here?!
"...Then it's decided."
In the boundless starry sky, after what could not be called discussion, the Venerable Xuanji looked at Jiang Lingyun, the sect master of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, who had the highest cultivation level among those present.
"Sect Master Lingyun, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to make this trip. The others here probably won't be able to spare the time."
"This is what the Venerable Xuanji said."
Although Xuanyuan Wuji was not entirely satisfied with the decision, he ultimately did not voice his opposition, nor could he.
Jiang Lingyun is at the seventh level of the Saint Realm, and her fists are truly enormous. Moreover, as the sect leader, she doesn't really manage sect affairs much. Previously, the Grand Elder, True Person Zijian, was in charge, but after he disappeared, the responsibilities were taken over by others. This sect leader has quite the air of a hands-off manager.
So she has a lot of free time.
The others present were not so free, nor did they have much time to run around. For example, Saint Venerable Haotai was forging his Emperor-grade magic weapon, True Man Medicine was definitely continuing his research on alchemy, and the Human Emperor of Central Continent had an entire Central Continent to manage...
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Jiang Lingyun said casually.
After speaking, the seven people left the boundless deep space where they communicated through their thoughts. Jiang Lingyun slowly opened her eyes and saw a vast Gobi Desert shrouded in night.
The sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect was currently in the vast yellow sands of the northern desert.
She sighed, stood up, and the yellow sand swept by the night wind, brushing against her light blue dress.
"Eastern Frontier...sigh, it seems I still can't escape that place." Jiang Lingyun didn't really want to go to Eastern Frontier.
For four or five hundred years, she stayed in the Eastern Frontier, without eating, sleeping, or resting, traversing every inch of the Eastern Frontier, all in order to find her Great Elder who had been missing for many years.
When she became the sect leader, Jian Xuan became her indispensable right-hand man.
Jian Xuan has disappeared without a trace, and even his life tablet, which was kept in the sect, is mostly shattered. However, the light has not yet disappeared, which means that Jian Xuan is still alive, even if he is just a soul...
That's why Jiang Lingyun came looking for him, frantically searching, fearing that if she returned to the sect one day, her life tablet would be completely shattered, and he would truly be gone.
In the end, however, she still gained nothing.
Two thousand years have passed since then.
Jiang Lingyun thought she had let go.
But even she herself didn't believe it. ...
The next morning.
Gu Heng got up.
He had insomnia last night.
The appearance of this system shocked him so much that Gu Heng barely slept a wink all night.
Damn it, why didn't they give me some shocking news earlier? Of all the times, they had to give me such a big one last night, making it really hard for me to get a deep sleep.
"Master, it's time for breakfast."
Qin Yiyao leaned against the door, looking at Gu Heng sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes, and whispered.
"Alright, alright, don't rush. Let me fetch a basin of hot water so I can wash up a bit..."
Gu Heng nodded, stood up, stretched, his bones cracking, and then he saw a basin of hot water and a towel beside his bed. "Hmm?"
He froze for a moment.
"Hmph, Master always says I sleep in like a little sow. Let's see who's the one who sleeps like a pig today!"
Qin Yiyao proudly tilted her pretty face up, looking like she wanted to say, "Praise me!"
"That's great. From now on, you can get up earlier and fetch water for Master to wash his face."
Gu Heng gently stroked Qin Yiyao's hair.
But the words he said made the little girl's face fall down immediately.
Of course, Gu Heng didn't have the heart to make her do this kind of maid's work for him every day.
Qin Yiyao usually appears as a quiet, well-behaved, and aloof girl who doesn't seem to care about anyone, but once she unleashes her charm and tantrums, Gu Heng can't resist. He's never been able to resist her.
Otherwise, given Gu Heng's temper, he would have grabbed her and given her a good spanking long ago.
The outer room was already set with the exquisite breakfast that Manager Liu had sent over, still warm. Qin Yiyao was very sensible; she didn't eat since Gu Heng hadn't gotten up yet. He quickly washed up, and then he and Qin Yiyao finished off all the breakfast on the table.
The little girl ate 80% of it.
They're growing.
Gu Heng had eaten about 50-60% of his fill, and then took Qin Yiyao for another walk.
I only explored a small part of the capital at night, but there are certainly more interesting things to do in the capital during the day.
For example, the preliminary rounds of the Imperial Grand Competition!
This is the real highlight that Gu Heng wants to see!
Prodigies from all over the Sunfire Dynasty gathered at the Grand Martial Arts Arena in the capital, then engaged in friendly sparring to determine the winner, who would then receive rewards and inspirational words from the Sunfire Emperor…
Gu Heng didn't care about the one behind him.
He cares about people fighting.
Now that he has a "temporary experience voucher" from the system, he can occasionally be a cultivator for a quarter of an hour. However, before he experiences this power, it's best to see how others fight, so as not to make a fool of himself when he has to fight someone.
Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao entered the martial arts arena.
In the martial arts arena, there was a huge arena surrounded by spectator seats, which were almost completely full at the moment.
The master and apprentice casually found a place to sit down. In the martial arts arena, two young men were competing, their battle fierce and evenly matched. Gu Heng watched while eating the snacks he had brought.
Qin Yiyao, however, was focused on snacking, completely ignoring the battle unfolding on the field. The rotten fish and shrimp weren't worth watching; it was better to admire her master's stunning good looks and his eating habits.
"……Um?"
As she was eating, Qin Yiyao suddenly felt someone staring at her from the side.
Turn around and look.
He noticed a girl in a black dress staring intently at him from a distance to his right.
She didn't recognize the girl in the black dress, but the face looked somewhat familiar... Soon the girl in the black dress also looked away.
"strangeness."
Qin Yiyao muttered.
"...Why is she here too?"
The girl in the black dress turned her face away, her eyes widening in shock!
Qin Yiyao actually came to the capital?
The girl in the black dress felt a little embarrassed. She hoped, hoped the girl wouldn't recognize her; after all, she was no longer a boy, but a completely different girl!
