In front of Ye Qingyi, You Hai King raised the stature of the Jiang Family—was he trying to gauge the reaction of Baihua Valley?

Jiang Qihu sighed inwardly.

He had never been skilled with words.

Before leaving the Imperial City, the Little National Master had warned that this night banquet wouldn’t be “tasty.”

Taking a deep breath.

Jiang Qihu slowly poured himself a drink, seizing the chance to steal a glance at his opposite, and unexpectedly discovered that Ye Qingyi’s Divine Soul aura was without a single ripple.

From beginning to end, Ye Qingyi merely drank alone as if everything that happened here was irrelevant to her.

This Young Valley Master of Baihua Valley, he had known her from past encounters and they had crossed swords a few times.

Jiang Qihu knew that Ye Qingyi was a person of quiet character, and after Taoist Sword Palace’s seclusion, Baihua Valley didn’t involve itself much in worldly affairs.

If not for the incident of the Lichao City Secret Realm being so significant, Baihua Valley probably wouldn’t have gotten involved.

After gathering his thoughts.

Jiang Qihu sat upright and proper, following the Little National Master’s instructions before his departure, he slowly said, “Prince, you jest.

An empty reputation is like a fleeting cloud, it cannot be taken away in life, nor can it be left after death.”

“A cycle ago, the Jiang Family was just an inconspicuous cold family in Qing State…”

“Alright, alright!”

You Hai King promptly raised a hand to interrupt, smilingly saying, “Brother Qihu, cease your recitation.

I watched you grow up in Qing State, don’t I know what kind of person you are?

Did the Little National Master say these words?

They are somewhat interesting.

Didn’t he tell you that you can’t copy everything verbatim?”

“…”

Jiang Qihu fell silent.

Such matters, naturally, had been spoken by the Little National Master.

In fact, even the initial words were taught by the Little National Master.

He always remembered every single word and kept it close to his heart without fail.

Originally, he had thought to change some phrases.

But on reconsideration, he recalled the Little National Master’s heartfelt sigh at the end: “Qihu, if there are things you can’t learn, then so be it, it’s no issue.”

Therefore, it was left as is.

“Prince, let’s talk about the important matters.”

Finally, Ye Qingyi, who had been drinking alone, couldn’t hold back any longer.

Perhaps it was because the bottom of her wine cup had come into view.

Or maybe it was because everyone had finally arrived, and the pleasantries had concluded.

Ye Qingyi lightly tapped the jade table and softly said, “The banquet tonight, Baihua Valley is here for the ‘Bai Ze Secret Realm’…

In seven days, it will be the day the seal of the Secret Realm’s Grotto Heaven is broken.

Ye only cares about one thing, whether this so-called ‘Bai Ze Secret Realm’ is real or not?”

Upon this statement, silence returned to the gathering.

You Hai King lost the amused smile from his face.

“You might have asked the wrong person about the Secret Realm.”

You Hai King said slowly, “It was the Jiang Family that first discovered this Secret Realm.”

Ye Qingyi turned to look at Jiang Qihu.

“The Bai Ze Secret Realm, guaranteed genuine.”

Jiang Qihu was gravely serious as he said, word for word, “This information came from the Primordial Instrument.

In order to divine this glimpse of fate, the Little National Master sacrificed three years of his lifespan.”

Three years.

For a Cultivator…

three years might not be a long time.

But for a soothsayer who divines daily, to peer into fate even once is to gamble with life itself.

After successive span of three years, how many cycles of three years are left?

Ye Qingyi stared intently at Jiang Qihu.

Their gazes locked onto each other.

She knew what kind of person Jiang Qihu was; in terms of martial arts talent and cultivation aptitude, he was certainly top-tier.

But when it comes to lying.

Jiang Qihu’s talent in this area was virtually nonexistent.

He found it hard to deceive others, and the scene earlier with You Hai King calling his bluff was the best proof of this.

“If it truly is the Bai Ze Secret Realm…”

Ye Qingyi stood up, hardly able to believe it as she asked, “Then the news of the ‘Great Dao Pen’ is also true?”

It was rumored that Saint Bai Ze had a Supreme Taoist Treasure named the ‘Great Dao Pen,’ a treasure capable of exerting an extremely powerful erasing effect on Divine Soul Power.

There were some treasures that had already recognized their masters and could not have their marks erased.

With just a light swipe of the ‘Great Dao Pen’, all Divine Soul Marks could be removed!

This treasure had once driven countless people to frantic pursuit…

It was just a pity that after Saint Bai Ze wandered the world, leaving behind many Grotto Heavens, and upon closing his life to the world, all these Grotto Heavens had vanished into seclusion, leaving no trace.

For nearly a thousand years, no one had found any trace of the ‘Great Dao Pen’.

Gradually, this treasure had become no more than a legend.

“…Yes.”

Jiang Qihu only paused for a moment before giving a certain reply once more.

He asked in a deep voice, “The Carp Tide River has been sealed off these past few days; have your people not noticed?

Within a ten-mile radius of the ‘Bai Ze Secret Realm,’ there frequently appear traces of treasures.”

As soon as these words were out.

Ye Qingyi and You Hai King exchanged a glance…

Indeed, these past few days, the cultivators from both major powers had joined the Jiang Family in sealing off the Carp Tide River!

According to reports, the state of the Secret Realm was increasingly chaotic, and at the heart of the Carp Tide River, unidentified treasures would occasionally surface!

These treasures flashed by in the blink of an eye, almost only allowing for a glimpse of a phantom before they disappeared in an instant.

As Jiang Qihu had said.

This was the best proof of the ‘Great Dao Pen’s existence!

“Interesting.”

You Hai King propped his chin with his hand, muttering, “Could it be that the Great Dao Pen truly exists?

I thought it was as ethereal as the ‘Undying Spring’…”

Ye Qingyi slowly sat down again, her wine cup empty, so she poured herself a pot of tea, slowly calming the emotions of her Heart Lake.

“So…”

Ye Qingyi said in a low voice, “The news that the Bai Ze Secret Realm will be unsealed after seven days, was it also divined by the Little National Master at the expense of his lifespan?”

“Naturally.”

Jiang Qihu spoke with a heavy tone, pride flashing in his eyes: “Besides my master, who else could possess such grand capability?”

“…”

You Hai King twirled his wine cup, his eyes narrowing slightly as he scrutinized Jiang Qihu.

Chu Man, the woman behind the screen, suddenly spoke up, “Then what is the reason for the eight hundred li ban in Qing State?”

This news came very suddenly.

With just an imperial order, the entire Qing State immediately entered a state of “emergency preparedness” that occurred once every decade, and every border fortress city increased its garrison strength…

“Ever since Her Majesty was demoted from the position of garrison commander, the borderlands have been somewhat restless.

Perhaps by now, Northern County of Qing State has caught the attention of the Demon Country.”

Jiang Qihu’s voice turned cold: “This ‘Bai Ze Secret Realm’ matter is of great importance.

The imposition of the ‘eight hundred li ban’ is to prevent the Demon Country from sensing any fortunate fates or prophecies related to Lichao City.”

“To put it simply.”

“My master used three years of his yang life to divine this opportunity in Lichao City linked to Bai Ze——”

“It is an opportunity belonging to Da Chu!”

“The eight hundred li ban in Qing State is to prevent someone from betraying intel and leaking the prophecies!”

The atmosphere at the top floor of the Wave Viewing Pavilion became subtle once again.

Ye Qingyi furrowed her brows slightly, thinking what kind of talk this was, as there were only so few people aware of the intel…

Who would leak such important information to the Demon Country?

As this thought emerged.

The gesture of sipping her tea paused for a moment.

You Hai King swirled his wine cup, speaking in a low voice, “So, the eight hundred li ban in Qing State, is it because Chancellor Chen doesn’t trust us?”

Jiang Qihu remained silent.

He drank the last drop of wine from his cup and then gave a low laugh.

All was said without words.
