Chapter 340: Chapter 176: Observer of the River of Time, Fourth Grade, Five Emperor Calamity Body_3

I don’t think an unremarkable outer disciple would catch Ji Yanran’s eye and have such a grand opportunity."

"Why not just directly ask Ji Yanran?"

Zhao Yunshan’s expression froze.

"It’s not good to bother Ji Yanran, is it?"

Qi Yanqing sneered, "Are you so afraid of Guanghan Hall?"

"Not afraid!" Zhao Yunshan retorted, rising like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Qi Yanqing laughed but said nothing.

He certainly wouldn’t trouble Ji Yanran. He’s not stupid; this isn’t Taizhou. Making a move against the top inner sect member on Guanghan Hall’s turf is suicide.

"Just investigate Ji Yanran; there’s no need to trouble her. The main thing is to look into who Ji Yanran interacted with before contacting Chun Yuniang—Xu Guang is surely among them."

"The information will soon come back."

...

Beihan Prefecture is one of the prefecture cities under Guanghan Hall’s rule.

Chun Yuniang walked into the sect looking a bit dazed.

Song Ruyun held her arm from behind, "Yu Niang, go talk to your master properly, and then transfer to our Jade Cold Mountain."

Chun Yuniang nodded slightly dazed.

Her recent experiences felt like a dream. At first, she made progress because of her diligence in the last ranking and suddenly caught the attention of the senior sister, who even personally trained her?

In just four months, she was vaguely stepping into the Innate Realm.

In a place like Luoyun County, Innate was already the top expert in the county town.

Her sister’s greatest hope for her was to become an expert in Luoyun County. A dream of many years... realized like this?

She didn’t understand why Ji Yanran had taken an interest in her.

In Guanghan Hall, there were many who practiced cultivation diligently. Her considerable progress last time was just because a benefactor gave her the Spirit Crystals. For someone who had just stepped into the Seventh Grade Realm, having dozens of Spirit Crystals, it’s normal for such progress, right?

Her cultivation speed wasn’t the fastest either.

But...

Seeing that old woman who used to treat her harshly, Chun Yuniang smiled and approached.

"Master."

The old woman was more enthusiastic, even slightly ingratiating.

"Yu Niang, you’re back. I’ve missed you so much," the old woman said.

Behind the old woman, she saw some people she didn’t want to meet.

They were from a small family in the prefecture city, the Bai Family.

The old woman, being an Innate Outer Elder, collected disciples in the outer sect with ulterior motives, seeking many young outer female disciples of decent appearance and average talent to ally with some medium and small families through marriage.

Allegedly a marriage alliance, it was actually human trafficking.

Female disciples of Guanghan Hall always had pursuers in Jianghu, and these small families were willing to pay a high price to get an outer female disciple.

As long as the force is large, corruption is inevitable inside.

The Bai Family was the ’family’ the old woman originally selected for her.

The Bai Family seemed unaware of the changes in Chun Yuniang, with the gaze of the young man falling on her, revealing a touch of astonishment, sizing her up from head to toe as if assessing some merchandise. His gaze grew increasingly heated.

"Yu Niang is prettier again. After spring, you’ll marry Mu Yun, and then marry and have children, and won’t need to show yourself anymore."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, looking at Chun Yuniang.

The surrounding Bai Family members’ eyes carried a bit of mockery. What’s the point of joining Guanghan Hall? With insufficient talent, were they not treated as merchandise?

Hopefully, this little girl won’t indulge in unrealistic dreams after joining the Bai Family, wasting the Bai Family’s resources.

Chun Yuniang smiled calmly at these people.

People she originally should have feared... now, echoing in her mind were Song Ruyu’s words.

’People can only rely on themselves.’

She slowly displayed the Qi Force that only Innate possesses, forming streams of air in the atmosphere. Without even looking at the Bai Family people, she simply said to the old woman,

"Master, a senior sister from Jade Cold Mountain will mentor me. I’m here mainly to bid farewell to you."

As the words fell, the Bai Family was already in utter shock, staring dumbfounded at the ice-blue Qi Force swirling by Chun Yuniang’s side, their minds blank.

This little girl... reached Innate!?

The first to react was the Bai Family’s patriarch, Bai Zhenyun.

The previously aloof and scrutinizing demeanor on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a nearly sycophantic warmth.

"Yu Niang! Your talent is surely the best of the best!"

The sudden shift from contempt to reverence was laughable.

The old woman smiled, stopping the Bai Family, "Patriarch Bai, Yu Niang is tired today, I’ll take her in first."

The Bai Family nodded.

A small family faces outer disciples and inner disciples from Guanghan Hall quite differently.

Outer disciples... in Beihan Prefecture, many people can pay to send them in, but inner...

That requires true strength.

What’s more, where Chun Yuniang is going now is the increasingly influential Jade Cold Mountain.

But no one saw the greed in the old woman’s eyes.

Recalling the agreement with a mysterious person last night, she couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.

’Yu Niang, before you leave... help this master with one last thing...’

...

In Chiyao County.

Ah Wei, body enveloped with Starlight, was using ivory to continuously grind stones.

These were Stone Essences bought from the Sword Casting Manor, and might contain some good items.

Xu Guang didn’t have the ability to see through objects; buying them was just a bet on luck, hoping for something valuable inside.
