Lan Hai City.
After Yang Feilong called the women outside, he played cards with them and then began to eat.
Just as he took a few bites, his phone rang with a "ding-dong."
Yang Feilong glanced at it. It was a message from his sister, Yang Qingqing, containing a location and the words "Come quickly." Yang Feilong's expression immediately turned grim.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Seeing Yang Feilong's unusual expression, the women asked in unison.
As Yang Feilong explained the situation to the women, he said, "Her message 'Come quickly' suggests there's no immediate danger, but there's definitely trouble. And with her strength, she can't handle it. It might be cultivators from the Spirit Realm! I need to get to the capital as soon as possible!"
"Do you want me to go with you?" Murong Qingxue said at this moment.
"No need, you just take care of everyone here," Yang Feilong replied.
Murong Qingxue's cultivation was second only to Yang Feilong's. She was currently at the peak of the fifth level of the Golden Core realm. With her in Lan Hai City, Yang Feilong felt somewhat at ease. After all, he had set up top-tier formations in his residence. With Murong Qingxue activating them, they could hold out for a considerable time even against cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm. This time, he was going to the capital to bring both Yang Qingqing and Lin Yunxi back to Lan Hai City.
Soon, Yang Feilong left Lan Hai City.
His speed was astonishing. In the past six months, besides his cultivation advancing to the peak of the early Golden Core stage, the third level of the Golden Core realm, his movement technique had also reached the second level of "A Thousand Miles Within Reach," the "Light as a Swallow" perfection. However, breaking through to the third level was not achievable in a short period.
But even with just the perfection of "Light as a Swallow," his current speed was far greater than before. Moreover, Yang Feilong continuously channeled his incredibly strong Golden Core energy, making his speed considerably faster than his sister had estimated.
While on his journey, he was constantly worried about his sister's situation but did not dare to call and ask. He knew his sister was very smart. Even if she encountered some problems, she could maintain a facade for a while.
Furthermore, that was the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation. If real trouble arose, asking the Bureau of Investigation to intervene, even if they couldn't solve the problem, they should be able to buy time.
...
After Yang Qingqing sent the message to her brother, her worries began to dissipate.
No matter what tricks these people were trying to play, as long as her brother was present, all troubles could be resolved.
"Who are these people?" Yang Qingqing calmly asked Yan Lili.
Yan Lili had been very worried that Yang Qingqing would be angry, which would make things a bit difficult to resolve. She had learned from her brother's message that to join a prominent family in the Spirit Realm, she needed to bring Yang Qingqing along. Although she felt a bit resentful, she knew this was her opportunity. She had to persuade Yang Qingqing to marry Bi Chacha as a concubine along with her. The reason she hadn't dared to reveal the truth before was naturally her fear that Yang Qingqing wouldn't come. Seeing Yang Qingqing's calm demeanor now, she smiled and said, "Qingqing, let me introduce you. This is a disciple from the powerful Bi family, a cultivation aristocratic family from the Spirit Realm, named Bi Chacha. He is a candidate for the next generation's young master of the Bi family!"
She knew that flattering Bi Chacha was essential and would certainly not mention that he was just one of the candidates for the young master!
"Oh!" Yang Qingqing nodded.
"Ah?" Yan Lili heard Yang Qingqing's faint "Oh" and felt a sudden awkwardness.
"Wait, sister, shouldn't you have some reaction? What does this 'Oh' mean?"
Bi Chacha naturally sensed that Yang Qingqing seemed uninterested in him. In his opinion, she probably hadn't yet recognized his merits and extraordinary family background.
He gave Yan Chao a look, and the latter understood immediately. Smiling, he stepped forward and said, "Qingqing, right? My sister, Lili, has mentioned you many times. By the way, my name is Yan Chao, Lili's older brother. Today, I heard from my sister that you were all getting together. Knowing that you are all cultivators, and Young Master Bi is a hospitable person who loves making friends, I thought we could all get together. More friends mean more paths, don't you think? If you have any questions about cultivation, Young Master Bi will definitely not hesitate to impart his knowledge. You should know that Young Master Bi is a top prodigy on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking in the Spirit Realm. Both his strength and talent are top-notch! Not to mention, the Bi family has a top-tier existence in the Primordial Spirit realm guarding them! The Primordial Spirit realm has a lifespan of up to two thousand years!"
"Ahem, no need for polite words. Since you're here, you're my friends. Please, ladies, come in. Good wine and food have already been prepared," Bi Chacha said with a smile, quite appreciative of Yan Chao's eloquent words.
"Thank you, Young Master Bi!" Yan Lili and the other two women said with smiles, their eyes shining as they looked at Bi Chacha.
They all came from cultivation families, and recently, many cultivators from the Spirit Realm had entered the mortal world through demon portals. This had allowed them to learn much about the Spirit Realm. They knew that families with cultivators in the Primordial Spirit realm would not decline for thousands of years!
And although Bi Chacha wasn't exceptionally handsome, the various auras around him made them, who came from cultivation families but didn't have outstanding talent or looks, extremely infatuated.
If they could marry him, even as just a concubine, it would be wonderful. It would not only bring great benefits to their families but also make their future paths much smoother.
Who wouldn't want to live a little longer?
Bi Chacha didn't pay much attention to the other three women. His gaze was constantly fixed on Yang Qingqing. To his disappointment, Yang Qingqing seemed indifferent to him, merely offering a perfunctory smile and a slight expression of gratitude.
Moreover, this gratitude felt somewhat dismissive.
"After all, she's a woman with both talent, strength, and beauty. She's naturally different from ordinary women!" Bi Chacha convinced himself. Therefore, he acted with great politeness, without any impatience.
Soon, everyone was seated.
Yang Qingqing frowned because Bi Chacha sat beside her. Seeing his outwardly polite demeanor, although she felt disgusted, she endured it. Since he was acting politely now, she couldn't be rude to him.
As long as he didn't push too hard or say anything extreme, she would endure for now!
Although she was confident in her brother's strength, hearing about the other party's family background made her a little worried. She feared bringing a powerful enemy to her brother. If she could easily resolve today's situation, that would be best.
Under her growing impatience, Yang Qingqing continued to respond to Bi Chacha's proactive solicitations.
Time flew by, and more than an hour passed.
Bi Chacha had been the one making advances, but all he received was Yang Qingqing's distance. This began to make him feel irritable. He gave Yan Chao a look, and the latter immediately understood Bi Chacha's intentions and nodded slightly.
