Ye Qinghan immediately recognized Yun Zhonghai. Stepping forward, he bowed and said, "Ye Qinghan offers greetings, Elder Yun. Elder Sister Yao asked me to send her regards."
"Come with me," Yun Zhonghai said in a cultured and refined manner. His magnetic voice was very pleasant to listen to.
With that, Yun Zhonghai turned and entered the city north.
Ye Qinghan followed closely behind. They arrived at a mountain peak, surrounded by mountains, rivers, spirit-beasts, birds, and flowers. It was a magnificent sight to behold.
At the foot of the mountain was a palace, enormous and filled with pavilions. Above the lake was a wooden raft, upon which sat a small bamboo hut. It was very exquisite.
Looking at the decorations, Ye Qinghan stared at Yun Zhonghai's back. "This guy isn't simple," he murmured. "He's been keeping a low profile all this time, and hasn't revealed his true strength. However, his territory is magnificent, and his aura is majestic. Nine dragons surround him, and a hundred birds pay homage to a phoenix. It's obvious that he's wildly ambitious.
Yun Zhonghai stepped onto the bamboo raft. "Come with me," he said coolly.
Smiling, Ye Qinghan followed him onto the raft. Yun Zhonghai waved his hand, causing the raft to drift toward the center of the lake. In that moment, he sensed that Yun Zhonghai didn't just have ice-type spirit-quality fluctuations, but also water-type and wind-type spirit-quality fluctuations! And they were extremely pure!
The lake's surface was undulating, and the waves in the depths were surging violently. The momentum was terrifying, but the wooden raft was able to go against the current without the slightest tremor.
They entered the bamboo house on the raft. The interior of the house was very simple. There was only a sword hanging on the wall, two chairs, a round table, a bed made of ice elemental spiritual stone, and a soft silk quilt. There was nothing else.
As Ye Qinghan looked at Yun Zhonghai, he got the feeling that he was a natural fit for the lake. Every move he made was filled with an indescribable boldness and energy. Although he seemed to be a bit stronger than an ordinary magistrate, he was actually strong enough to crush an ordinary half-step Paramount God.
"Give me the keepsake," Yun Zhonghai said calmly.
Ye Qinghan stretched out his hand and handed over a sealed pouch. There was something inside, but it was not opened.
Yun Zhonghai took the pouch and gently squeezed it. The pouch split into two and a piece of paper appeared inside.
"Your heart, your concubine's will, can only be bestowed by the heavens …"
Yun Zhonghai clenched his fists, and the paper in his hand turned into powder. He asked hoarsely, "Why did Little Yao ask you to find me?"
"Ninth Elder, this junior has killed the Black Sky County's County Chief. She hopes that you can introduce me to Third Young Master." Ye Qinghan bowed and said.
Yun Zhonghai turned around and looked at Ye Qinghan. A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he whispered, "You actually have the ability to kill the head of a county. No wonder Little Yao cherished talent and recommended you to me."
Ye Qinghan was silent for a while, quietly waiting for Yun Zhonghai's answer.
"Mm, I understand. Tomorrow, I'll arrange for you to meet at the Fragrance Pavilion in the east of the city. When you return, give this pouch to Little Yao. Many thanks." Yun Zhonghai waved his hand and handed the pouch to Ye Qinghan.
Ye Qinghan took the pouch, then cupped his hands and bowed. "Many thanks, Lord Elder. This junior will definitely deliver this to Big Sister Yao."
"Your goal isn't just to see that brat Yun Qi, is it? If you just want the city lord to stop investigating the death of the prefectural governor, then all you have to do is tell me. I'll tell Yun Qi. "Yun Zhonghai's eyes were like torches, as if he could see through Ye Qinghan's heart.
Ye Qinghan respectfully said, "Elder's eyes are as sharp as pearls. As expected, I can't hide anything from you. This junior wants to see the city lord and represent Cloud Amongst Clouds in the Snow Empire's God Realm Elite Competition."
Yun Zhonghai's eyes flashed. He frowned and said, "Do you know what the Elite Competition is? It's a competition to select the Realm Army. The strongest will be chosen by the Realm Lord to become an outer disciple. Every participant will be a top existence in a city, and each city will have ten spots. They will fight each other, and if you're not careful, you'll die. Do you have the confidence to participate in the Elite Competition? "
"This junior is willing to do his best." Ye Qinghan said in a deep voice.
Yun Zhonghai was silent for a long time as he stared at Ye Qinghan. He then said in a hoarse voice, "If you want to participate, you don't have to go through the city lord. Wait until the day you follow me and appear as my disciple. Then you'll have the chance to act."
Ye Qinghan's eyes lit up. He cupped his hands and said, "I beg for your guidance. I have a brother whose cultivation is not inferior to mine. I don't dare to say that he can become an outer disciple of the Realm Lord, but at least becoming a Realm Army soldier won't be a problem."
"Alright! The next Elite Competition will be next spring. In five months time, you will fight as my disciple. You will win glory, and I will win the recognition and resources of the Realm Lord. It's a win-win situation. I hope you won't disappoint me. "Yun Zhonghai said in a low voice.
When Ye Qinghan saw the ambition in Yun Zhonghai's eyes, he thought to himself, There's definitely something going on between him and Big Sis Yao. There's definitely a grudge between him and the City Lord. Otherwise, he wouldn't steal his brother's credit so brazenly.
"Then this junior will take his leave." Ye Qinghan bowed and said.
"Alright, go." Yun Zhonghai didn't drive the wooden raft back. Instead, he stopped where he was, as if he wanted to see Ye Qinghan's cultivation. Everyone knew that one couldn't fly in the city.
Ye Qinghan smiled faintly and walked out of the room. He walked on the water, and wherever he went, the water beneath his feet was as smooth as a mirror. Ten meters away, it looked like a water dragon that was about to soar into the sky.
Yun Zhonghai narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Qinghan's disappearing figure. He fell into deep thought.
"The water spirit is so pure. It's as if he was born with a water spirit body. No wonder he was so confident." Yun Zhonghai whispered to himself.
"Lord Yun Zhonghai, I'll take revenge next year for stealing my wife!"
Yun Zhonghai said hoarsely. The lake water began to surge and rush toward Ye Qinghan. However, when it got close to Ye Qinghan, the water automatically calmed down. It was like an obedient spirit that followed Ye Qinghan's will.
Ye Qinghan's black hair fluttered in the wind. He suppressed the surging lake water and deliberately revealed part of his strength. He walked on the water but didn't touch a drop of water. Only when he reached the shore did he quickly leave.
Returning the way he came, he actually ran into the famous Yun family's third young master. He really did have the qualifications to be a silk pants. His handsome face and embroidered divine robes indicated that he was definitely one of the top experts of the younger generation. His black hair draped over his shoulders, and he had four beautiful women by his side. His eyes looked disdainfully at Ye Qinghan, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you in the northern part of the city? "Yun Qi asked coldly.
"This commoner Ye Qinghan greets the third young master. I am the chief of Black Sky County's Frost Demon Stronghold. A few days ago, I accidentally killed the county chief. I'm here to ask for punishment!" Ye Qinghan bowed.
"What? You killed that slut Black Sky County's county chief? " Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he said happily, "Hahaha, good, good, good. This lowly person ruined my plans and dared to steal my woman. He really doesn't know what's good for him. If he's killed, then he's killed. Leave this matter to me. I'll tell my father and spare your life."
"Thank you, third young master!" Ye Qinghan pretended to be grateful and said repeatedly.
