Chapter 1993 - 1993 Not an Accident

1993 Not an Accident

Nobody else would gossip about themselves.

He Ziji and the rest looked at her in confusion.

Chu Liuyue waved her hand in response. “Ahem, nothing, nothing. I just suddenly choked on something… However, where did you get this news from?”

Why don’t I herself know that I used such a method to enter the God Residence Realm?

“You don’t know this either?” The expressions of He Ziji and the others became even weirder.

He Zilan pouted lightly and said with contempt, “Big Brother, only the people with statuses in the big dynasties would know about this. Who knows which isolated place they came from? It’s normal for them not to know this.”

Chu Liuyue: “…”

I have always been sharp-tongued, but I actually can’t think of anything to argue against her now…

She touched her nose and ignored her own man’s teasing gaze.

“We’ve naturally heard of the Tianling Dynasty’s Princess before.” Rong Xiu seemed to ignore He Zilan and laughed lightly. “However, my wife and I were living in seclusion previously, so we really didn’t hear of this before.”

He Ziji knitted his brows slightly and looked at his own younger sister with a warning gaze. It’s indeed overboard for us to say such a thing in front of them. Luckily, the other party did not seem to mind it.

He Zilan grunted lightly, but she did not dare to be wilful.

He Ziji paused for a moment. It seems like these two people really don’t know anything…

He tentatively asked, “Then… do the two of you know about the God Residence Realm?”

Rong Xiu nodded.

He Ziji then heaved a sigh of relief. It isn’t hard to explain if they know this.

“This is a long story. More than a year ago, the Tianling Dynasty’s Princess, Shangguan Yue, broke through the realm gate and entered the God Residence Realm. Furthermore, rumors have it that she is prospering in the God Residence Realm, and everyone knows her name! Everyone naturally wants to go there and take after her.

However, how can it be so easy to enter the God Residence Realm? Many people tried very hard but didn’t have a way, until Yunzhou started to have these challenges, which finally gave everyone a rare chance. They said that it’s as easy as ABC to break through to become a true god when you reach the God Residence Realm. Hence, everyone is rushing toward Yunzhou. Look, tomorrow is the third challenge, so the entire Yunzhou is bustling with people now.”

It was very easy to understand such an explanation.

However, Chu Liuyue still knitted her brows. That was because there was a crucial problem here. How did the news of me going to the God Residence Realm spread outside? I didn’t purposely announce this matter, and not many people outside of the God Residence Realm know of this. How did it spread far and wide?

There are even rumors of her doing extremely well in the God Residence Realm? Someone has purposely leaked this news, but… What is their motive?

If I didn’t come to this place today, I might not even know that such a thing had happened outside the God Residence Realm. It shows that the other party’s main target isn’t her but cultivators like He Ziji and the rest!

Chu Liuyue looked left and right and seemed to ask unintentionally, “Since it’s for cultivation, then why do only very young cultivators come here and not the rest?”

He Ziji laughed out loud. “That’s naturally because only cultivators below 35 years of age can participate in the challenge! Besides, the younger you are, the more talented you are, and the easier it is to get good results in this challenge!”

The rules are rather strange… Chu Liuyue thought to herself secretly. Normally speaking, only an academy recruiting students or clans choosing disciples would have a restriction on the cultivator’s age. I wonder what’s going on with this challenge that has such a rule…

“This is also why many young cultivators rushed over here,” said He Ziji.

This was naturally the reason as to why they were here.

Seeing that Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue were in deep thought, He Ziji thought that they were also tempted. Thus, he pointed to the front and said, “There—that Taiyang Mountain is the venue for the challenge tomorrow. If the two of you want to participate, you can just go over there tomorrow.”

Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue both used a fake alias.

Rong Xiu slightly raised his brows. “Directly go over?”

“Yeah! As long as you’re not older than 35 and have a certain talent and capability, you just have to pass the guardian’s test to participate in the challenge.”

“Guardian?”

“Yeah! The most outstanding batch of people from the challenge can follow the guardians into the God Residence Realm.” As He Ziji spoke, he looked very hopeful. This showed that he was filled of expectance toward this.

However, Rong Xiu’s expression turned meaningful. It seems like someone specifically organized this challenge.

That’s true. The other party purposely attracted so many talented cultivators, so they naturally have to make sufficient preparations.

However, He Ziji and the rest did not notice Rong Xiu’s thoughts, and they thought that he was considering whether to join the challenge.

As they spoke, they arrived at an inn.

The challenge was about to begin the next day, so they naturally had to rest today. He Ziji and the rest chose to stay here.

Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu were scared of trouble and stayed as well.

After the two parties bade farewell, they returned to their own rooms.

…

Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu’s room was on the third floor that faced the street.

Pushing open the window, they could see the squeezing crowd on the streets. Looking from afar, they could see the houses on the streets and the… tall Taiyang Mountain far away.

Chu Liuyue crossed her arms, leaned against the window pane, and could not help but smile. “I didn’t expect there to be continuous trouble here, but it’s still like this when we came out. We’ve left for so long, but someone is still thinking about us.”

Rong Xiu poured a cup of tea, and the mist rose up, smearing his pretty eyes. “Wife, you’re too outstanding, so people keep thinking about you.”

Chu Liuyue sneered. “I don’t think it’s a good thing for so many people to think of me.”

Someone purposely exposed her whereabouts, yet she did not even know who the other person was. She really did not like the feeling of the enemy being in the dark, while she was in the light.

“Besides… I feel that Yunzhou’s appearance is very strange.” Chu Liuyue raised her hand, and her thin and white nails gently brushed across the wooden window as her gaze flickered. “Even though this city looks quite old, many places here look renovated. See, even the paint on this window pane was added not long ago. However, the workmanship is quite detailed.”

Everything looked clean and ancient. Most people really could not tell.

Besides, most of those who came were cultivators to join the challenge, so who would care about this?

Rong Xiu raised the teacup, looked down slightly, and placed it down in a seemingly smiling manner. “Maybe… it was not an accident that we came here from Peach Blossom Dock?”
