Half a day later, Ye Chen came back to the shore.
What happened next made him speechless. The owner and the waiter of the Ancient Water Lake had disappeared without a trace. As for his and Qu Ming's horses, of course, they were gone too.
Both of them were riding on dark brown horses. Each horse was worth more than sixty thousand silvers, which added up to one hundred and twenty thousand silvers, which was enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for ten lifetimes. If they didn't want to live an ordinary life, they could buy a small manor, become a master, and have three wives and four concubines, and countless maids. In short, if there were no disasters in this life, they could have everything.
"I hope you guys are always lucky and don't run into me again." Ye Chen didn't care about a dark brown horse, but he hated people who took advantage of others. If he ran into them, he wouldn't mind sending them to jail for the rest of their lives.
With a flash, Ye Chen flew away on foot.
…
In the Ancient Spring Town.
In the Flower Fairy Restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant was a beautiful young woman, who was not even twenty-five years old. Her husband was a famous sword artist in the surrounding area, and she herself was a Late Condensing Reality Realm warrior, who was known as the Flower Fairy. Ever since she started running the restaurant, her business had been booming, and she was not any less famous than her husband.
On the second floor of the restaurant, a lot of martial artists were sitting there, drinking and chatting. From time to time, they would flirt with the lady boss.
"Lady boss, your husband hasn't fought for a few years, I wonder how good his sword art is now?" Someone used her husband's name to talk to the Flower Fairy.
The Flower Fairy said with a faint smile, "I'm not sure about this, but according to him, he can cut the Golden Water River in half with one sword attack."
"Cut the Golden Water River in half with one sword attack?" These martial artists looked at each other. The Golden Water River was a big river near the Ancient Spring Town. The widest part was hundreds of meters, and the narrowest part was also hundreds of meters. Even if he cut the narrowest part with one sword attack, it would still be a big deal. In addition to his powerful sword art, his cultivation was at least at the peak of Early Clasping Yuan Realm, or even Mid Clasping Yuan Realm.
The flower fairy took in everyone's expressions and nodded in satisfaction. Ever since she came to the Blossom Immortal Restaurant, countless people had drooled over her beauty. If it wasn't for her husband's fame and strength, there would have been people who would have tried to snatch her away. It was necessary to teach them a lesson.
"You've found a good husband! Reaching such a realm at the age of twenty-six is enough to be mentioned in the same breath as the disciples of the sects. "
"No!" As the flower fairy spoke, her gaze landed on the seat next to the window. There sat a young man in a white robe. His features were delicate and handsome.
At this moment, someone said, "June is almost here, the Sky Cloud Martial School's Inner Disciple Competition is about to begin. To be honest, I would like to go and have a look."
"I want to see it too! Too bad no one invited me. "
"Invite you? Dream on! Even some Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists weren't invited, not to mention you. Unless you are a relative of one of the Sky Cloud Martial School's inner elders, that would be quite possible. "
"I'm just saying. By the way, Flower Fairy, has your husband been invited?"
The flower fairy nodded, "The invitation letter arrived ten days ago, but my husband is currently in seclusion, so I don't know if he can make it in time."
Her husband's name was Song Qingyun, known as the Blue Cloud Sword Artist. He reached the Clasping Yuan Realm at the age of twenty-one. His sword art was extremely sharp, and he was quite famous in the Windy Nation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been invited by the Sky Cloud Martial School to watch the Inner Disciple Competition.
"Tsk tsk, it's a great honor to be invited by the Sky Cloud Martial School. But with the reputation of the Blue Cloud Sword Artist, it's normal for him to be invited. In our area, besides the Blue Cloud Sword Artist, only that old kidnapper and the Five Mountain Master Pei Zhongli have been invited."
"Pei Zhongli, isn't that the father of Pei Shaoqing, one of the top ten inner disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School?"
"Yes, the Pei family is the number one family within hundreds of miles, and that Pei Shaoqing is also very good. He became an outer disciple at the age of twelve, an inner disciple at thirteen, and now he is only sixteen, but he is already one of the top ten inner disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School, ranked in the top five."
"Pei Shaoqing, this kid is indeed very good. But don't be fooled by his friendly attitude, he is not friendly when fighting, he is very cruel."
"If there are no accidents, this kid has the possibility to be in the top three, maybe he can even fight for the first place."
"Not necessarily, Pei Shaoqing's good friend Ghost Sword Li Kuang should not be underestimated either. I heard that he had obtained a low rank Earth Realm sword art two years ago, even if he had only comprehended sixty to seventy percent of it, it would still be enough for him to look down on the others."
Ghost Sword Li Kuang!
The ears of the teenager in the white robe twitched slightly, he could clearly hear everyone's conversation. He did not care much about Pei Shaoqing, but he was interested in Ghost Sword Li Kuang. He had heard of this person before, he had a unique understanding of sword arts since he was young. His sword art was unpredictable, it was completely different from the normal sword arts. Therefore, he had never practiced the sword arts of the Sky Cloud Martial School until one day, when he accidentally obtained the inheritance of a deceased senior and learned a low rank Earth Realm sword art – Nine Ghost Shadow Swords. With this sword art, his reputation skyrocketed, and he earned the title of "Ghost Sword" in the martial world. He could be considered as the number one sword artist among the top ten inner disciples.
The handsome teenager was Ye Chen. After he lost his dark brown horse, his speed did not decrease, instead, it increased. He could travel more than three thousand miles in a day, and this was because he was afraid that he would lose too much Zhen Qi, so he would rest for a while. The Ancient Spring Town happened to be on his route, so he came to the Flower Fairy Restaurant to rest.
"I have already touched the edge of the sword intent, but unfortunately, the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords is not that high ranked, so I am still at a disadvantage. I wonder what kind of rewards I will get from the inner disciple ranking competition?" Ye Chen's strongest sword art was still the Tyrant Fist. Although the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords had the advantage of sword Qi, it was still not as good as the Ghost Sword Li Kuang.
As for Pei Shaoqing, it seemed that he was more famous than the Ghost Sword, but Ye Chen was more interested in people who used swords.
"The Ghost Sword is nothing. Among the top ten inner disciples, who can compete with the Blood Shadow Sword Meng Chong? He is the only disciple in the Sky Cloud Martial School who has completed the Thousand Kill. Even the core disciples could not do it. I am afraid that this year, he will not only be the number one inner disciple, but he will also challenge the other core disciples. With his sword art, it should not be a problem for him to be in the top fifteen."
"That's true. Meng Chong's status as the number one inner disciple is undeniable. The others can only compete for the second to tenth place. Maybe there will be even more outstanding inner disciples who will compete with the top ten inner disciples. It will be very intense."
"Hmph, I will go find my brother-in-law tomorrow and ask for an invitation. He has a good relationship with one of the inner elders of the Sky Cloud Martial School, so there should be a chance!"
"My cousin's teacher used to be in the Sky Cloud Martial School, I wonder if he can bring me."
Everyone's heart was itching for an invitation. They could not wait to have an invitation right in front of them.
At this time, Ye Chen had already finished his lunch. He threw down a silver ingot that weighed ten silvers, stood up and walked through the crowd, heading downstairs.
A Jiang Hu man accidentally saw the cloud pattern on Ye Chen's sleeve and said in a low voice: "I did not expect there to be an inner disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School here. What a mistake."
There were a lot of people in the Jiang Hu who wore white robes. Plus, Ye Chen had been traveling day and night for the past few days, so his robes were covered with dust. It did not look that eye-catching, so it did not attract much attention. Now that someone mentioned it, everyone realized that Ye Chen was indeed an inner disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School.
The flower fairy secretly smiled. She had already known about Ye Chen's identity. But seeing that he was only at the Mid Condensing Reality Realm, she was afraid that it would not be possible for him to compete for the top ten inner disciples. Of course, whether it was possible or not, she would find out when she went with her husband. She hoped that her husband would come out soon.
