Moreover, this was only one of Ye Xuan's goals. There was another goal that was related to Luo Hou, but he would not go into detail here.
However, Li You Yun carried Ye Xuan's hope. If he couldn't pass through the first calamity of the mortal world, then he wouldn't have any value at all. Ye Xuan wouldn't hesitate to kill someone who didn't have any value.
In fact, Ye Xuan seemed to be neither fast nor slow, but he was more anxious than anyone else. This was because his cultivation was already at the peak of the Four Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao, and he was about to pass the Five Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao.
Ye Xuan had a premonition that the Five Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao were extremely terrifying. If he did not have the help of the Power of Time and Space, he would probably fall between heaven and earth.
The Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao were fatal. Each tribulation was a life or death tribulation. A single misstep would cause one's soul to scatter and die. Ye Xuan had a deep understanding of the terror of the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao.
"Li Youyun, you are someone I value. If you disappoint me, not only will you lose your wife and child, you will also die without a burial ground." Ye Xuan looked at Li Youyun in the mirror image of heaven and earth, his voice cold and heavy.
…
Laifu Inn.
Li Youyun was concentrating on studying the scripture with the help of the Boundless Secular World Technique. However, this scripture was too obscure and difficult to understand. Even though Li Youyun had read the Four Books and Five Classics, he only had a smattering of the contents.
"The Boundless Secular World, Life and Death Reincarnation in a Single Thought?"
Li Youyun was puzzled and puzzled. These mysterious scriptures gave him a headache. He had been trying to understand them for half a day, but he still had no clue.
In fact, Li Youyun did not know that the Boundless Secular World Technique was not something that could be comprehended. It required one to experience many desires in the secular world before one could truly step into the threshold of this technique.
At this moment, he had not even touched the surface. Perhaps only by experiencing the Boundless Secular World could he understand the profound meaning described in this scripture.
"Who's Li Youyun?"
Suddenly, he heard a clamor coming from the Laifu Inn. Li Youyun was startled. He was just a student who came to the capital to take the exam. Who would know his name?
"May I know who is looking for me?"
Li Youyun put away the Boundless Secular World Technique and strode out of the room. He saw the three youths from yesterday appear in the lobby of the inn.
"You really are here!"
When the handsome young man saw Li Youyun, his face lit up with joy. Li Youyun then remembered his appointment with the young man at the City God's Temple yesterday.
"Brother, please forgive me. I was too engrossed in my studies and forgot about our agreement." Li Youyun quickly walked in front of the young man and cupped his hands in a salute with an apologetic look on his face.
"If it wasn't for your signature on the painting, I would have guessed that you were at Lai Fu Inn. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find you." The young man smiled.
"Here, this is ten thousand taels of silver. I specially came to give it to you today."
The young man directly took out a silver note. Indeed, there were ten thousand taels of silver written on it. However, this also made Li Youyun stunned. He hurriedly refused and said, "Brother, don't joke around. How can a mere painting be worth ten thousand taels of silver? Just give me ten taels of silver."
"If I say it's worth ten thousand taels of silver, then it's worth ten thousand taels of silver. Brother, don't be modest. Quickly accept the silver note." The young man said seriously.
"Brother, I appreciate your kindness. However, I can't accept this silver note. I only want ten taels of silver." Li Youyun directly refused the silver note with a resolute and decisive look.
The young man who looked like a manservant suddenly became angry and said, "Hey, my master …"
"Cough!"
The handsome young man hurriedly coughed lightly. Suddenly, the manservant paused and said, "My master said ten thousand taels of silver. Then it's ten thousand taels of silver. Why don't you take the money?"
"Brother, I appreciate your kindness. However, too much money is useless to me. I only need ten taels of silver. If I can pass the imperial examination, I will return the ten taels of silver. This painting will be my gift to you." Li Youyun said seriously.
"Humph."
The young man in the brocade robe said with a cold and disdainful face, "You're just a poor scholar. You still deliberately mystify and treat money like dirt. Do you really think you can pass the imperial examination?"
"Brother, yesterday you repeatedly spoke ill of me. I, Li Youyun, don't think I have offended you. Don't go too far."
As the saying goes, even a person made of clay has three points of anger, let alone Li Youyun. This made him reprimand the young man in the brocade robe coldly.
"How dare you."
Being reprimanded by a poor scholar like Li Youyun made the young man in the brocade robe angry. One had to know that his father was the prime minister. No one dared to speak to him like this.
"Lin Feiyun, don't go too far." Suddenly, the handsome young man frowned and said.
"Xianxian, you …?"
"Good, good, good."
Lin Feiyun was so angry that he sneered again and again. He glared at Li Youyun and also hated Li Youyun in his heart.
"Since you don't want the ten thousand taels of silver, I, Li Xianxian, want to be friends with you. Xiao Wan, give me ten taels of silver." Li Xianxian ordered the manservant next to her. The manservant also quickly took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Li Xianxian.
"Brother, I'll lend you these ten taels of silver. When you pass the imperial examination, you must return it to me." Li Xianxian smiled and said.
"Of course." Li Youyun laughed heartily.
"Waiter, prepare a banquet. Today, I want to drink with Brother Youyun until we're drunk."
Li Xianxian casually threw out an ingot of silver, causing all the scholars in the inn to raise their eyebrows. Under Li Xianxian's warm invitation, Li Youyun could not refuse.
They exchanged cups and talked about everything under the sun.
Lin Feiyun kept drinking and occasionally looked at Li Youyun with cold eyes. Li Xianxian and Li Youyun regretted not meeting each other earlier. They both admired each other's knowledge.
"I didn't expect Brother Youyun to be so knowledgeable. I'm afraid that Brother Youyun will definitely win the imperial examination today." Li Xianxian said, slightly drunk.
"Ten years of hard work, just for the imperial examination today. If Youyun can pass the imperial examination, he will definitely benefit the people." Li Youyun said powerfully.
"Good, good, good."
Li Xianxian clapped her hands and cheered. She raised her cup and said, "This cup of wine is for Brother Youyun. I'm waiting for you to pass the imperial examination."
The two drank the wine in their cups. The manservant next to Li Xianxian looked at the sky outside. He lowered his voice and said to Li Xianxian, "Young master, it's already late. Master is still waiting for you at home. Let's quickly go back."
Li Xianxian nodded. Although she was reluctant to leave, she knew that she had to go.
"Today, I felt like old friends at first sight. In the future, I will ask for your advice." Li Xianxian cupped her hands and bowed. She called out to Lin Feiyun and the manservant and left the inn.
Li Xianxian and the other two's behavior of coming and going as they pleased didn't bother Li Youyun too much. However, he did admire Li Xianxian's knowledge. He was also very pleased to have made such a friend in the capital.
However, Li Youyun didn't know that he had already angered Lin Feiyun today. Lin Feiyun was the son of the prime minister and an influential figure in the capital. This brought him great humiliation and caused his simple nature to change greatly. It also caused a series of events to occur later.
Of course, everything that happened to Li Youyun was within Ye Xuan's control. The appearance of these three was also Ye Xuan's doing.
