While Yang Kai was still fretting, he heard a soft groan behind him and turned his head back to take a look there and saw Ye Jing Han sitting atop the boat with furrowed brows and a confused look plastered on her face.

She was a little confused by her current situation.

But, she quickly recalled what had happened before she got knocked out. She suddenly stood up and shouted, Young Master Yang!

You finally woke up! Yang Kai cast a glance at her and spoke calmly, Dont move around, you should first check your body and see if you have suffered any injuries.

Upon hearing him, Ye Jing Han nodded and closed her eyes to observe the state of her body for a moment then opened them again, Im fine.

She had just been knocked out by Hua Qing Si, and even though she was swept by the shockwaves of the Thunder-titled cultivators self-destruction, she hadnt sustained any serious injuries. It was just her vitality that had gotten a bit feebler. Consuming some pills would be more than enough for her to make a full recovery.

Yang Kai, where did that Elder Sister and the Big Stone Man go? Ye Jing Han observed the surroundings, yet she couldnt see Hua Qing Si or the Embodiment at all, so she couldnt help but inquire about them.

What Elder Sister and Big Stone Man?

Those Ye Jing Han was just about to describe them, yet she suddenly furrowed her brows and spoke with an odd look on her face, Was it just an Illusion?

As she started mulling over the emergence of Hua Qing Si and the Embodiment, she felt like everything looked surreal, and she couldnt help but suspect that she had fallen victim to an illusion.

I used a special Secret Technique earlier to deal with those four; you must have seen an illusion because of it.

So thats what happened! Ye Jing Han let out a breath and said in self-mockery, Young Master Yang, youre endowed with remarkable abilities and I couldnt provide any help to you. Im really ashamed of myself.

Dont brood over it, Blood Daggers so-called Four Ghosts are all quite strong. If you had meddled in the battle, you wouldnt be alive right now.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jing Han broke down into cold sweat and she realized the large disparity between Yang Kai and her.

The Blood Daggers Four Ghosts were all Third-Order Dao Source Realm cultivators and they had even used a Formation Technique to join their strengths together. In that state, they could fight evenly against an Emperor Realm Master for a time, yet they had all been killed by Yang Kai.

It was an amazing feat!

They were both Second-Order Dao Source Realm cultivators, yet the disparity between them was like Heaven and Earth. She couldnt help but feel gloomy over this and she started longing for the great power possessed by Yang Kai.

She suddenly chuckled bitterly and she reached her hand back to rub her neck as she felt some slight pain on it. This was another point she was dumbstruck by!

She suddenly recalled how the illusionary woman had knocked her out and she continued to have doubts, wondering if everything she had seen was real or not.

The rest of the road was crossed in silence!

Yang Kai had just suffered the attack of Four Ghosts, and it looked like Ye Jing Han was still in a low mood because of it. She didnt bother him on the way and she just gave him some directions, then sat down on the boat to rest.

After around ten days, they finally saw a mountain range in the distance.

At this moment, Ye Jing Han stood up on the boat cheerfully and pointed at the mountain range, Young Master Yang, this is the Thousand Leaves Mountain where my Thousand Leaves Sect is located. Well reach it in half a day.

En! Yang Kai replied casually.

Ye Jing Han added, Ill send a message to my father, he must be worried about me.

She had spent several months alone outside and her relatives would probably be worried about her. She had already returned safely, so she wanted to quickly get in touch with them.

Yang Kai didnt pay heed to her and just sat at the front of the boat and observed the surroundings.

Ye Jing Han took out a communication artifact and inputted some information into it. Shortly after, she got a response.

After Ye Jing Han checked it, she couldnt help but furrow her brow and a displeased look showed up on her face.

Yang Kai had detected that her expression had turned for the worse and he inquired over this, What happened?

Ye Jing Han pouted and grumbled, My father asked me to participate in the wedding ceremony of Sky Crane Citys Lord with his new concubine. Its so infuriating! If I had known this earlier, I wouldnt have told him I had come back so I could avoid this troublesome matter.

It looks like you dont want to go, Yang Kai looked at her with a smile.

Ye Jing Han snorted coldly, I dont want to mingle with a man who betrayed his allies. If he wants to take a new concubine, then thats his matter. Why does my father even bother with such a man, even sending our Sect disciples to this ceremony.

Ye Jing Hans expression turned cold, That man is just a treacherous and ungrateful scum. He only obtained the City Lords position thanks to our Thousand Leaves Sects support, yet he quickly sought another backer after he got it and didnt put us in his eyes anymore. He had even chased off many of our already established industries in Sky Crane City. Hes just a vile man!

Yang Kai wasnt really interested in this matter, so he just inquired about it briefly then dropped it.

Ye Jing Han had also realized that it wasnt really proper for her to grumble about this to Yang Kai and apologized, Young Master Yang, I apologize, I let my frustrations get the better of me.

Its no bother, there are many vile and infuriating people in this world, Yang Kai waved his hand in response.

Young Master Yang, just wait for a little while. Ill notify my father, then bring you back to the Sect and arrange residence for you, Ye Jing Han said then started composing a new message.

You dont have to bother, Yang Kai grinned in response. Ill just take a trip with you there, itll be less troublesome and Ill just take it for a brief outing to loosen up a little.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jing Han spoke in delight, Many thanks, Young Master Yang; if you experience something unpleasant during this situation, please dont take offence.

Its fine!

Saying so, they adjusted the direction and headed off to Sky Crane City.

Sky Crane City was located three thousand kilometres from Thousand Leaves Mountain. It wasnt a big city, but it was still a lot better than Maplewood City, and it could be said that it was medium-scale.

According to what Ye Jing Han had said, Sky Crane Citys City Lord Mansion had around a dozen Dao Source Realm Masters, including its City Lord, Luo Jin, who was a powerful Third-Order Dao Source Realm Master. Luo Jin wasnt any weaker than some second-class Sect Masters in the vicinity, and he had been able to take a firm hold of the City Lords position with his power.

When Yang Kai and Ye Jing Han reached the city gates, they found it bustling with activity with many carriages loaded with goods waiting for their turns to enter the city. Those carriages were loaded with precious treasures and Yang Kai had even sniffed the odour of some pills and spirit medicines.

Those carriages were all decorated with festive ornaments, and they were obviously loaded with congratulatory gifts prepared by the local forces.

Sky Crane City was one of the most powerful forces within a hundred thousand kilometres, and all of this regions Sects had to send delegations to congratulate the City Lord for taking in a new concubine.

The guards standing next to the gates were all spirited and delighted. They welcomed the guests with a smile, then inspected the goods before letting them pass.

Yang Kai and Ye Jing Han didnt rush into the city and just waited at a spot a hundred metres or so from the city entrance. They were doing so because Ye Jing Han told him that disciples of the Thousand Leaves Sect would shortly arrive.

Ye Jing Han had gotten this assignment by pure chance. If she didnt come back today, she wouldnt have been given this hateful mission by Ye Hen.

She was still the Young Lady of Thousand Leaves Sect and it wouldnt be unseemly for her to lead the group of envoys to congratulate the City Lord.

After they waited for a short while, Ye Jing Hans eyes lit up and she pointed in a certain direction, Theyre here!

Yang Kai gazed over there and saw a ray of light streaking across the sky, one that became clear as it approached. This was a ship-shaped Flight-Type Artifact with several cultivators in matching uniforms atop it. The person standing near the ships bow was looking around and upon seeing Ye Jing Han, he grinned and waved at her amicably.

Ye Jing Han responded in the same way as the ship landed shortly after. The man who had been waving at Ye Jing Han a while ago descended and waited for the others to disembark before he waved his hand and collected the ship.

Yeer, youve finally returned. If you didnt come back, I would have gone to Maplewood City to look for you. The man went toward Ye Jing Han directly then gazed at her affectionately with his bright eyes. He had ignored Yang Kai completely!

Senior Brother Du Xian!

Upon facing his ardent gaze, Ye Jing Hans face got flushed and she couldnt help but lower her head bashfully.

Upon seeing this, Yang Kai couldnt help but smile. He had realized right away that these two had a meaningful relationship.

One of the other men stuck his head out behind Du Xian and grinned, Senior Sister Ye, you have no idea what Senior Brother has been like since you left for Maplewood City. He didnt even get a proper meal and he wasnt even in the mood to cultivate! He was scolded plenty of times by our Master.

Enough of your babbling! Du Xian glared at him with a smile in his eyes.

Ye Jing Han pursed her lips and said in a low voice, This is unacceptable You must still cultivate

Du Xian looked affectionately at Ye Jing Han and said softly, I have been trying to cultivate but, I couldnt calm down, I couldnt stop thinking about someone.

And who was that. Ye Jing Hans body trembled as her cheeks flushed even more.

Who else could it be but you!? A sneaky man butted in and continued, Senior Sister Ye, I have also missed you, I missed you so much that I couldnt get proper sleep at night

Saying so, he put on a pained look and started twisting around, which incurred a peal of laughter from the other disciples of the Thousand Leaves Sect.

Wu Ma, get lost! Du Xian stretched his hand and struck Wu Mans head. The latter couldnt help but lower his head and grumble, You can do whatever you want, but we cant even flirt a little? How can you be so unreasonable? Senior Sister, you must seek justice for me.

Ye Jing Han spat and spoke, You deserve it, who told you to keep jabbering on and on? Senior Brother, you must teach him an unforgettable lesson.

Upon hearing this, a dejected and dismayed look surfaced on Wu Mas face.

Yang Kai had just been observing this from the side and found the disciples of the Thousand Leaves Sect to be pretty interesting, feeling that they all had close ties with each other. He couldnt help but chuckle and sigh slightly. The smaller a Sect, and the more precarious its situation, the more united its disciples would be, but once a Sect grew larger, then they would start trying to outwit each other and they would even put on fake acts of civility.

At this moment, Du Xian finally noticed Yang Kai and a surprised glint flashed past his eyes. Cupping his fists, he introduced himself, Du Xian of Thousand Leaves Sect greets this friend, may I ask for your noble name?
