Although Xuan Mountain City was called a mountain city, it was built on flat land. On the left was a river, on the right was a majestic mountain. There were tens of thousands of miles of fertile land, the terrain was like that of a dragon and a tiger.
50 miles around the city were 400 feet high walls, 32 feet thick. 4 carriages could pass side by side. They were all made up of astral stone and supported by spiritual formations. Looking out from tens of miles away, one could feel a vast and majestic aura surging over, like it was impregnable.
Xuanyuan Yiren was standing on a nine-story building, leaning on the railing and looking out towards the city walls.
However, what she was looking at wasn't the high walls, but the further southeast side. She hated that the wall was too high, blocking her line of sight such that she couldn't see further.
"It has already been 3 months and you still aren't willing to change your mind?"
40 feet away from the wooden railing, there was a 40-year-old lady with tens of female attendants following behind her. At this moment, her face was filled with rage, "You should be clear about what kind of person that Zong Shou is! A dual meridian body trash who can't cultivate. Is he worth you doing this? Yiren, you are going to ruin your life! "
Xuanyuan Yiren didn't reply, her lips curling up. Naturally, she was the clearest about what kind of person Zong Shou was.
If it wasn't for her rushing to Cloud Saint City a few months ago, she would have thought that he couldn't cultivate and she would have been kept in the dark by him.
A few days ago, when she heard her mother say those words, she had the heart to argue with her. Only when she thought about what Hu Qianqiu said did she bear with it. Recently, she was too lazy to even raise such a thought.
She roughly understood Zong Shou's thoughts at that time. Such a person naturally had the pride of an expert. He didn't bother to argue and wasn't willing to prove anything. He did what he wanted, so why would he care about what other people thought?
During this month of time, that person looked at her like he was looking at a joke. How annoying.
However, the most delightful thing about this trip east wasn't the strong sword path of that person, nor was it the Out of Body Realm spirit master cultivation. Instead, it was his personality that made people happy.
"It's all your father's fault. He has led you astray. He always talks about benevolence and righteousness, and set up this damned engagement! What kind of bullshit benevolence and righteousness is this? Can it be eaten?! "
The middle-aged lady's demeanor was elegant, cold, and dignified, but the words she spoke were incomparably vulgar, with a hint of disappointment.
However, when he saw that Xuanyuan Yiren didn't care about him at all, looking into the distance in a daze. But for some reason, he felt a little guilty. Was she really persevering for her own morals?
No matter how he looked at it, she looked like a little girl who was thinking of a man.
Rolling her eyes, the middle-aged lady's tone changed again. "Didn't you always say that if you want to marry someone, you should marry a hero? What kind of hero was that Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect Han Nishui? If you marry him, you will be a perfect match. What is so good about that Zong Shou? Is it worth it for you to be like this? One was in the sky while the other was on the ground. One is a bright and flawless white jade, the other is mud stepped on by others. Yiren, you would rather be dragged into the mud by him than be protected by others? How did I, Li Sina, raise such a dumb daughter? "
Xuanyuan Yiren smiled and didn't say anything. In terms of a hero, maybe he couldn't be considered one.
However, in terms of sword techniques, who knows how many people of the same generation could compete with him?
She couldn't help but think back to three months ago, that sword that was so sharp that even Hu Qianqiu didn't dare to take it head-on. Her heart started to move, and her heartbeat quickened.
However, she didn't feel shy. In this world, which girl didn't think about love? She did think about him, so there was nothing bad about that …
The middle-aged lady was slightly shocked, and she was furious. She stomped her feet, "My little Yiren, even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for your family. That whirlpool in Gantian Mountain, once you are sucked in, even your father will be smashed to pieces. Do you know that if you marry Han Nishui, our Xuan Mountain City will have the support of Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect and Pill Fountain Sect. Even if your father takes down Gantian Mountain, it wouldn't be a problem? This is also for your life. Your senior brother said that the chances of you dying halfway with the mysterious moon wood brilliance method are too high, and we need the help of Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's spiritual pills. If anything happens to you, what should I do? Daughter, you always talk about righteousness and benevolence, but do you know filial piety is within it? "
Only then did Xuanyuan Yiren's expression change slightly. She turned around, "Mother! If father heard your words, he wouldn't be happy. With father's personality, he definitely wouldn't rely on his daughter to build up his empire. You don't need to worry about my cultivation method, I have my own ways to solve it. Recently I have some ideas. As for filial piety, in my eyes, not letting my parents walk further and further down the wrong path is the true filial piety. On the contrary, mother, your body is fine, but you want to act sick to trick me back. Is there a point? Also, that Gantian Mountain City definitely belongs to Zong Shou. He doesn't need father's help, and he doesn't need to rely on external help. As for my fiancé, he's not someone who can be trampled on like mud. Mother, I'm unhappy that you said that about him! "
"I want to say that! He is mud! Trash! Scum! An idiot who is about to die! Trash! You brat, you really want to go against the heavens … "
The middle-aged woman suddenly scolded out, venting her anger. Although Xuanyuan Yiren's brows were slightly furrowed, she was really casual as she looked into the distance. She couldn't help but feel furious, like she had punched the air, making her feel stuffy.
Following which she took in a deep breath, forcing her emotions to calm down. She laughed coldly, "That Gantian Mountain City definitely belongs to Zong Shou? I think you are bewitched! Does that Gantian Mountain prince have any ability at all? After losing his position as the prince and monster king, he is nothing. If he isn't mud, then what is he? "
Xuanyuan Yiren shook her head, too lazy to speak anymore. At the start, they set a 5 month date for Zong Shou to personally come to Xuan Mountain City to meet her father. Speaking of which, there weren't many days left.
Regarding her marriage, her mother didn't have the final say. Her senior brother also didn't have the final say. Only her father could decide.
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but feel helpless, scoffing coldly, "I am too lazy to persuade you! Your marriage with that Zong Shou, even if your father agrees, I won't agree. You'd better stay here for the next few months! Unless you think it through, you are not allowed to go out! "
After saying this, the middle-aged woman waved her sleeves and left in a huff. The maidservants behind her hurriedly followed.
In the blink of an eye, only the two of them were left on the nine-story building.
Xuanyuan Yiren heaved a sigh of relief, helplessness flashing across her eyes. When she turned around, her expression was ice cold, like it could freeze one. She looked emotionlessly at Li Yunniang who was standing behind her.
"What are you still doing here, aren't you going to follow my mother?"
Li Yunniang's body trembled, two streams of tears dripping down from her eyes, "Little Miss! Why don't you listen to your mother? Although that Zong Shou is talented, that Han Nishui might not be weaker than him. He also has the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect to rely on. Little Miss's cultivation method has problems and you need that Mysterious Chill Ancient Pill … "
Xuanyuan Yiren broke out into a laugh, "Didn't I tell you before that even if I fall, I won't do anything against my heart? At this moment, I won't. Also, don't call me Little Miss anymore. There is no relationship between you and me. "
Li Yunniang's breathing stopped, her expression filled with sadness. Xuanyuan Yiren shifted her gaze, "I am only curious. Zong Shou killing Li Yaling and defeating Hu Qianqiu, why aren't you willing to tell anyone about it? I know that he has worries and doesn't want to make it too public. What is the reason for you? "
"It isn't that I'm not willing …" Li Yunniang raised her head and bit her lips, "I don't dare to say it!"
"Don't dare to say it?" Xuanyuan Yiren was startled, following which her eyes lit up, "You don't want my father to know and change his mind? I understand! "
Li Yunniang's face was ashen white, she didn't agree or deny it.
How was it as simple as Little Miss said? The reason why she didn't dare to say it was because of another reason.
Even till now, she still didn't understand what was going on around her.
Who was the person who could threaten her life and make her keep her mouth shut …

North of the Water Fairy Lake, roughly two thousand miles away, within an unknown canyon. Two silhouettes were sitting on top of a mountain peak a hundred miles away, looking rather disheveled.
Yan Fan's shoulder was totally dyed red. The front of Xuanyuan Yiren's body also had several light sword wounds.
At this moment, the valley that was less than a hundred miles wide was destroyed beyond recognition. Countless sword scars and countless holes were scattered all over the place. The strong force from before had crushed and killed all the living beings in the area.
Yan Fan looked at his wound and casually waved his hand, causing a streak of sword energy to spread out. His muscles trembled and the sword wound automatically healed.
"The Water Fairy's swords are getting more and more cunning and ruthless each time!"
Slightly praising, Yan Fan's face faintly showed some regret, "During these few days, I feel a little regretful! Restricting ninety percent of my true strength and not being able to use the Pinnacle Mountain Sword. If this continues a few more times, I won't be your opponent … "
Shui Lingbo's brows rose up, a cold disdain apparent on her face, "Didn't I also restrict eighty-five percent of my strength? I also didn't use my lightning technique. You have studied sword techniques for hundreds of years and now you come to bully a junior like me. Aren't you embarrassed to say all this? If you aren't willing, then we can go all out and fight. Fighting with my hands and feet tied like this is so boring and unsatisfying! "
Yan Fan laughed and didn't dare to retort, only revealing a serious expression, "Speaking of which, it has been close to three months. Today Zong Shou should be close to the Xiantian level. Who knows what his current situation is like? Has he touched the barriers of heaven? This threshold isn't something that can be easily crossed … " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
