--- Chapter 96 ---

in the soutuo city, Yunlong and his companions walked beside each other while enjoying the scenery around them.

"What do you all think?" Yunlong asked while looking around at the scenery.

"It's not bad..." Chu Xiaoyu quietly answered while slightly approaching his left side, leaving the other maids to stare at Yunlong's right side with burning spirit.

"Hmm, this city is good, young master~." Yu Ning'er responded while walking toward his right, but Zhu Zhuqing suddenly passed her.

"I like Star Luo City more." Zhu Zhuqing said, which left Yu Ning'er speechless because her loyal disciple just betrayed her.

"Well, this city is more serene, so I prefer this city over Star Luo City because I can create my pill better in this kind of environment." Bai Xue naturally stated before grinning at Yu Ning'er.

'I should've given him a longer answer.' Yu Ning'er gritted her teeth while visibly being annoyed because of Bai Xue's grin.

"Get that grin out of your face." She uttered while intently staring at Bai Xue, who swayed her away like she didn't care.

"I see..." Yunlong slightly nodded his head after hearing their statements.

They walked for a few minutes toward the spirit hall branch, and out of nowhere, a shout echoed in the city.

"I will kill you, bastard!!"

"Okay, I take my word back... This place is not serene at all." Bai Xue abruptly said with a frown on her face.

"I agree..." Chu Xiaoyu responded with a nod of her head.

Chu Xiaoyu agreed with the red-haired maid's words because she preferred a peaceful place to spend her precious time with Yunlong.

A silver-haired teenage boy suddenly ran out of an alley and passed them like a breeze, which made Yunlong smile for some reason.

"Who!" Yu Ning'er looked at the teenage boy with a hostile gaze.

'Oscar...' Yunlong peeked at the silver-haired teenage boy's back, who surprisingly already moved through a few alleys.

"Young master, let me chase him." Yu Ning'er suddenly proposed because she became slightly irritated.

'How dare that random fellow moves past us like that.' So she thought, but to her surprise, Yunlong only lightly waved his hand.

"Nah, We should go to the branch first," Yunlong denied her request, to which Yu Ning'er reacted with a surprised expression.

They continue their walk toward the spirit hall branch, but a few minutes later, they could hear the sound of a loud explosion.

Boom!

"What the hell is wrong with this place..?" Bai Xue's mouth twitched while looking at a black smoke, which appeared a few hundred meters away from them, but they could obviously see it from here.

'Yuri, check that explosion site for me.' Yunlong mentally instructed his pet fox.

'I will give you that one pill later.' He continued, which instantly piqued Yuri's interest as she hurriedly walked out of his unique spatial ring and gave him a nod.

'Hehe~, I'll be back in a minute, Master!' Yuri said and jumped out of his moving like a lightning flash toward the

Yunlong looked at the white flash that jumped from roof to roof and swayed his gaze back to the road. 'Even though I don't want to meet them too early, my progress should be enough for now.' He thought.

'Well, even if Tang Hao is here, I need that old man as my bodyguard.' He naturally added while releasing a sigh of relief.

"Young master, why don't you let me investigate that explosion?" Yu Ning'er stared at Yunlong with a confused look on her face.

"Do you not believe in my ability and trust that fox's ability more..." She muttered while lowering her head down, but Yunlong could only shake his head and gently patted her head.

"It's not like that, Ning'er." Yunlong calmly said while smiling at her.

"The truth is..." He quietly whispered into his maid's ears, "I only want to test Yuri's spying ability."

Yu Ning'er, who heard this, cannot help but cover her mouth because she's very speechless by what he just said. "O-Oh, I see..." She responded with a bit of stutter.

"Well, Yuri is more useful than you after all." Bai Xue sneered, to which Yu Ning'er responded by giving her a middle finger.

'Come at me later, apple head.' Yu Ning'er gave her a challenging gaze.

'I'll be waiting, sparky rat.' Bai Xue responded by slightly smirking at her.

Even though the area was very peaceful a moment ago, somehow, it became heated in a matter of a second.

Chu Xiaoyu frowned a little, and a faint white hue came out of her body, which immediately cooled down the area.

They continued their walk toward the spirit hall branch, and this time they didn't hear or witness anything weird, which is good because they could peacefully arrive at a white towered building.

"Halt! What are your objections to coming here." The guard suddenly stopped them, to which Yunlong calmly responded by taking a token from his inventory.

"W-Welcome, to the soutuo city's branch, sir." The guard respectfully greeted them, even though they could see that he's afraid.

"Keep a good job." Yunlong patted the guard on the shoulder and walked past him.

"Let's go," He continued, and they proceeded to enter the branch.

As they entered the building, a woman in a white robe suddenly approached them and politely smiled at them. "Welcome to the soutuo branch. May I know your purpose for coming here?" She said.

"Hmm, I want to meet the branch's head." Yunlong naturally said while observing the woman in front of him, surprisingly in the spirit elder realm.

"Do you have any appointments?" She asked, to which Yunlong responded with a shake of his head.

"I'm sorry, but the branch's head is busy-," The moment she said those words, Yunlong immediately showed his token, which made her immediately stiffened.

"I-I'm sorry, your highness. I will call the branch's head right away." She bowed her body at them and then hurriedly walked away.

A few moments later, another woman in a white robe walked down from a stair and hurriedly approached them with calm composure. "Sorry for making you wait, your highness." She politely greeted Yunlong.

"It's okay, but let's change to place first," Yunlong responded with a reassuring smile.

The branch head nodded her head and led them to her office, literally on the highest floor of this tower.

On the way to her office, the branch head introduced herself as Wu Dong and said that she was just appointed to this position a few weeks ago, so she was relatively new.

"What is that..?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked while looking at the callosum, which firmly stood a few blocks away from this place.

"That place is the great spirit arena. Spirit masters usually fight there," Wu Dong tensely responded.

"So that place is the spirit arena..." Zhu Zhuqing looked at the stadium with a sparkle in her eyes.

"We can go there later." Yunlong suddenly stated, making Zhu Zhuqing stare at him with a bright expression.

"We arrived." Wu Dong suddenly stopped in front of her office room and opened the door, revealing a nice-looking room with a woman sitting on a sofa.

The woman had many similarities with Chu Xiaoyu, which made Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Xue startled for a moment.

Even though it's been four years since Yunlong saw her, he knew this woman because she's clearly one of his earliest appointed maids and Chu Xiaoyu's mother, Chu Yunxi.

"Ara~, Young master, welcome." Chu Yunxi lifted her body from the soft and bowed her body at him.

"Who...?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the unknown woman with a confused expression.

Bai Xue also looked at Chu Yunxi with a confused expression because she had never heard or known anything about this woman.

"Mother..." Chu Xiaoyu unusually put a cheerful smile on her face, which caused Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Xue to stare at them with a shocked expression.

"Huh?!"
