"You silly girl, when did you become such a lovesick fool?"
Nie Wenyu smiled helplessly.
"Sis, donât you like him? I know that ever since we returned from Miaojiang, youâve been thinking about him non-stop. Otherwise, you wouldnât be so concerned about this competition."
Nie Wenling teased Nie Wenyu with a chuckle.
Nie Wenyuâs pretty face turned red, her eyes shimmering with an unusual light, but she said nothing.
"Sis, itâs been so long since we last saw Ye Luo. Why donât we go to the Capital City to find him too? I heard that guy is surrounded by a lot of women; he probably forgot about us by now," Nie Wenling said, pouting.
"That... might not be such a good idea," Nie Wenyu hesitated.
"Whatâs so bad about it? Sis, do you really want to give up just like that?" Nie Wenlingâs large, round eyes looked at Nie Wenyu, who had a flickering gaze as if lost in thought.
In the Capital City, as Bei Chenfeng and others left, a group of journalists rushed towards Ye Luo, hoping to interview him. Faced with this swarm,
Ye Luo was about to flee in panic, but thankfully the reporters were all blocked by the Special Security Bureau and the War Godâs team.
"Ye Luo, I really didnât misjudge you. You truly are a genius. Iâm very much looking forward to your performance in the Qing List competition!"
Both Military Blade and Battle Wolf approached Ye Luo with smiles on their faces.
"Thank you for the compliments, seniors!"
Ye Luo smiled faintly.
"However, you little rascal, taking one of the Island Countryâs four great relics, the Futsunomitama, they probably wonât let it go so easily, especially the Beichen Ittoryu. They will definitely send someone to snatch it back. Youâve really stirred up a big trouble this time."
Military Blade said to Ye Luo with a sense of concern.
"If they dare to come, I dare to kill!"
"Once something comes into my hands, Ye Luo, thereâs no way itâs going back!"
Ye Luoâs tone was domineering, his voice coldly spoken.
"Good, thatâs the spirit I like. Donât worry, if they dare to come, Iâll make sure to take care of them for you. Itâs not appropriate for me to deal with the small fries, but I donât need to be so concerned with the big ones. Iâve actually been looking forward to venting this anger."
Battle Wolf hummed coldly.
"Boss, you really are amazing!"
At that moment, Hou Jingwu walked over, his face full of smiles as he looked at Ye Luo.
"Youâre not bad yourself. Keep it up and donât let me down!"
Ye Luo said gravely to Hou Jingwu, whose strength had already stepped into the first level of the Hua Yuan Realm. Given his Star Physique potential, his future was certainly immeasurable, and he would definitely become a great asset to Ye Luo.
"Thank you!"
A clear, cold voice rang out next to Ye Luoâs ear. He glanced over and saw Ji Ziling standing before him, her clear, chilly eyes bright as stars watching him intently.
"No need to be polite. By the way, I still donât know the name of the beautiful lady."
Ye Luo said looking at Ji Ziling.
"Ji Ziling!"
Ji Ziling spoke with a cool demeanor.
"Ji Ziling... Are you from the Ji family?"
Ye Luo asked, somewhat surprised as he looked at Ji Ziling.
"Boss, she is the young miss of the Ji family, one of the four long-established noble families of the Capital City."
Hou Jingwu hurriedly said.
"So thatâs the case, what a pleasure to meet!"
From a distance, Long Qian watched Ye Luo, his gaze briefly clouded by a shade of darkness before he turned and left.
Afterward, Ye Luo left the place. Fortunately, with the help of the Special Security Bureau and the War God team, he was able to leave easily amidst the dense crowd continuously arriving at the square; otherwise, it wouldnât have been an easy departure.
Today, Ye Luo had attracted more attention than the hottest stars in the entertainment industry. This battle had solidified his reputation throughout Huaxia. Even the previous matter where he used Huaxiaâs traditional medicine to confront the disciples of a master of Goryeoâs medicinal arts was brought up again, causing Ye Luoâs fame to surge immensely.
First, he dealt a heavy blow to Goryeo with Huaxiaâs traditional medicine, and then he conquered the Island Country with Huaxiaâs martial arts. These two consecutive acts that elevated the prestige of Huaxia Country had brought Ye Luoâs fame to new heights, earning him the title of the Medical Martial God.
It could be said that Ye Luo had thoroughly made a name for himself, becoming the focus of everyoneâs attention.
About all this, Ye Luo felt rather troubled. He did not want to be so famous, always surrounded by crowds wherever he wentâsuch a life would be extremely dull.
In Capital City, atop a certain mountain peak.
The howling cold wind blew fiercely as the trees on the summit swayed. A figure stood quietly hereâit was Xu Ruobai, the Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion of the Seven Stars Pavilion.
Suddenly, a figure dressed in a blue robe, elegant and graceful, appeared behind Xu Ruobaiâit was Jun Tianhao, the Pavilion Master of Tian Quan Pavilion from the Seven Stars Pavilion, who had previously appeared on Snow Mountain to snatch the Spiritual Medicine.
Xu Ruobai turned around to look at Jun Tianhao and smiled faintly.
"Ruobai, have you summoned me for some matter?"
Jun Tianhao asked as he looked at Xu Ruobai.
"Thereâs a significant matter. Iâve located the Nine Yang Physique!"
Xu Ruobai stated directly.
"What? Youâve found the new generation of the Nine Yang Physique?"
Jun Tianhaoâs pupils contracted, his eyes radiating a sharp light.
"Yes," Xu Ruobai nodded.
"In that case, we must act as soon as possible. Cut the grass and remove the roots; we absolutely cannot let the tiger return to the mountain."
A sharp killing intent flashed in Jun Tianhaoâs eyes.
"Thatâs precisely why Iâve come to discuss this matter with you. The individualâs identity is not simpleâhe is from the Special Security Bureau, also a national major general, and highly regarded by those above."
"Especially since he has close ties with the War God team. If we were to simply eliminate him, it would affect the relationship between Huaxiaâs government and the Star Pavilion. Therefore, we cannot act rashly."
Xu Ruobai explained one point after another.
"If you and I take action, we can certainly kill him without anyone noticing, leaving no trace behind."
"No, Iâve discovered thereâs a Controlling Qi Realm master secretly paying attention to him. If you and I were to act, I fear complications would arise. Itâs best if we use anotherâs hand to deal with him."
There was a peculiar gleam in Xu Ruobaiâs eyes.
"It seems you already have a plan?"
Jun Tianhaoâs eyes fixed on Xu Ruobai, and with a slightly upturned corner of his mouth and a faint smile, he then spoke, "By the way, is there any news about those two incomplete maps?"
"One of them is in that young fellowâs hands, and the whereabouts of the other are unknown; I am investigating," Xu Ruobai said.
"In that case, we absolutely cannot let that incomplete map slip away. Moreover, Iâve received information that another map is in the hands of the remnants of the Holy Sky Alliance. We must locate them quickly and completely eradicate them to retrieve that map," Jun Tianhao stated in a serious tone.
"Understood," Xu Ruobai nodded.
...
In the afternoon, at an upscale clothing store in Capital City, Ye Luo and Leng Ruobing walked in hand in hand; they were here to try on the bridesmaid and best manâs attire.
A few minutes later, the two changed into their clothes and came out.
Ye Luo wore a black high-end suit with a shiny silver bow tie, complementing his tall and slender figure and that flamboyant yet devilishly handsome face, rendering him extraordinarily dashing. His aura seemed to elevate several notches, akin to that of a noble son.
