Feng Xia left quietly with Zhu Youniang.
Yan Wuyou stood in the garden of Qionghua Courtyard in a daze. After a long while, she opened her mouth and let out a long sigh.
“Damn it.”
She imitated Patriarch Chenhai and cursed out.
She waited in the courtyard for a long time, but Feng Xia did not return. She could only walk back to the bedroom with a bitter expression, staring blankly at the beam above her head. One moment, she became Junior Sister Ling, and the next moment, she became the Five Elements Sect Master.
Occasionally, she would turn into Zhu Youniang.
“Bigger than me.”
Yan Wuyou snorted and retracted her hand that was touching her chest. Soon, she took on the image of a young man in white.
Who else could it be but Feng Xia?
At this moment, Lei Shao’s voice suddenly sounded from outside Qionghua Courtyard.
“Sect Master, there’s a person outside the mountain gate. He claims to be a special envoy from the imperial court and has come with the emperor’s decree.”
“The imperial court sent someone over again?”
Yan Wuyou narrowed her eyes.
Although many sects on Canglan Mountain had already surrendered to the imperial court, whether officially or secretly, she did not have a good impression of the imperial court. In fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that she hated it.
“Could it be that after losing two dukes and the strongest Primal Core Realm cultivator, the imperial court is still unwilling to give up?”
She answered almost subconsciously, “Since someone is here, there’s no harm in me meeting him.”
As soon as she said that, Yan Wuyou immediately regretted it.
Earlier, she was so bored and had nothing to do, so she had been taking on different appearances in the bedroom. She completely forgot that she had changed into Feng Xia at the moment!
She had played too many roles for a long time, so as long as she took on the appearance of another person, she would subconsciously act according to that person’s usual behavior. By the time she realized it, she had already blurted out a sentence!
Why should she answer on behalf of that idiot?!
“Oh, are you around, Sect Master?”
Outside the courtyard, Lei Shao’s surprised voice sounded. “I heard a few disciples say that they saw you in the vicinity of that long street. I thought you had gone over there. Now it looks like they were mistaken.”
No, no, no, they were not mistaken!
Yan Wuyou really wanted to answer that, but she thought that if she told the truth, it might make things even more troublesome. There was still a huge difference between being able to take on someone’s appearance and being able to transform into that person.
In the end, she suppressed her thoughts and coughed.
“You can arrange it for me now.”
“Leave it to me!”
Lei Shao did not suspect anything and immediately agreed.
“I’m in.”
Feng Xia and Zhu Youniang walked together, one in front of the other. When no one was looking, they quietly stepped onto the mysterious long street that stretched across the Thousand Autumn Valley.
Swoosh—
An indescribable silence instantly enveloped the two of them.
They had only taken a few steps forward, but it was as if they had crossed an invisible boundary. In an instant, all the surrounding noise disappeared, leaving only an indescribable silence that filled every corner of the air.
Not only that, even the scorching sun hanging high in the sky seemed to have become much further away. The light projected down was no longer as bright, and had become somewhat illusory and transparent.
“Oh, right. I almost forgot about this.”
Feng Xia suddenly slapped his forehead and took out an exquisite silk inner robe. He handed it to Zhu Youniang. “I found this on Mo Yuanlong’s body. I tested it and found that the material is quite tough. If you wear it, it can more or less strengthen your defense.”
After he killed Mo Yuanlong, most of the items on the old man’s body had been destroyed by the Peerless 13 Swords. This inner robe was one of the few things that was still intact.
The so-called inner robe, in the words of Earth, was actually a woman’s underwear.
Feng Xia did not know why Mo Yuanlong was hiding a woman’s undergarment, but he could not be bothered to care about what kind of twisted and depraved human nature the man had, given that he had already been sent to the netherworld…
If not for the fact that this inner robe provided quite good defense, Feng Xia would have long thrown this thing into the sect’s secret vault. Even when he used half of his strength to strike it with his sword, it proved difficult to leave a mark on it.
Now that he stepped onto this mysterious ancient street, he suddenly recalled—
If he could not wear it himself, Zhu Youniang could!
“Huh? For me?”
The girl was slightly taken aback at first, but she suddenly smiled brightly and reached out to take the silk inner robe. She turned around nimbly and used her back to face Feng Xia. “Why don’t you help me put it on?”
Whoosh—
The girl’s belt automatically became undone and her clothes slid down to her arms, revealing her smooth and round shoulders.
Feng Xia: “?”
Miss, I think you’re trying to challenge me!
…
“I’m done.”
Feng Xia moved rather quickly.
The silk inner robe was soft and white and wrapped around the girl’s vital parts. A few ribbons were tied into bows on her back.
However, perhaps because the size was not quite right, when one looked from the side, one could still see the inner garment being pushed up and the northern and southern hemispheres moving irregularly.
“It’s time to see what this place is all about.”
Patting Zhu Youniang’s back, Feng Xia did not let down his guard for even a moment. His Perfect Sword Heart emitted an ethereal light, constantly on guard against surrounding dangers.
After putting on her clothes, Zhu Youniang also released spider shadows to test if there was any danger around.
After a while, Feng Xia subconsciously licked his lips as a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Standing on this street, he could feel clearer than when he stood in the outside world. There were antique pavilions and buildings everywhere. They were ancient and unknown. Many of them were already dilapidated and even showed signs of collapsing.
“This place is too quiet. It can’t really be… there’s nothing here, right?”
Feng Xia really felt that this possibility was very slim.
It could not be that the first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley spent his entire life’s efforts and almost lost his sect to leave behind an inheritance in the last years of his life…
Only to give future generations a useless surprise?!
“Hmm, that first Sect Master had planned it meticulously… Alright, probably semi-meticulously. There has to be some reason for him to create such an ancient street.”
Feng Xia’s gaze shifted and suddenly landed on a relatively intact building not far away.
The windows of the building were open and supported by wooden sticks. Through those windows, one could see the interior. There were neatly arranged seats inside.
On the other side of the wall, there was a wide and tall bookshelf. All kinds of books were stacked on the bookshelf.
The furnishings reminded Feng Xia of a term.
“Could this be… a private school?”
