Chapter 270: 24: It’s better for people not to become famous

Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan traveled together, passing many sects along the way.

They saw many beautiful landscapes of the Spiritual Mountains, such as spiritual birds and beasts moving through the mountains, tigers lying on stone platforms taking naps, and green snakes coiling among panaceas, absorbing the spiritual qi.

The looks of these spiritual birds and beasts were elegant and noble, clearly different from the demons found outside. They appeared to be exotic beasts that were raised in captivity.

Around the treasured peaks of the sects in the sky, cultivators could often be seen landing from flying cranes or leaving on them.

These flying cranes were undoubtedly the mounts of sect disciples, specially used for carrying people. Their speed was comparable to cultivators in the Initiation Stage, which was not slow at all. More importantly, traveling on them did not consume their magic power. When Zhao Huai passed by a spiritual mountain, he accidentally discovered a banquet taking place.

There were hundreds of people, young men and women, and the middle-aged, all with extraordinary auras. Very few were in the Initiation Stage, most of them were cultivators in the Golden Core Realm.

An elder in a scholarly robe sat in a high stone chair, chatting with a beautiful woman in a pleated skirt.

In the center, a middle-aged man in a green shirt was playing a guqin, while other cultivators blew flutes, drank wine, talked and laughed, or danced to the music. Some even drank a large pot of wine heartily, showing their boldness.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but sigh.

It seemed that cultivators did have recreational activities after all, not as boring as rumors suggested.

This was the peaceful life of the celestial world.

While the elder in the scholarly robe and the woman in the pleated skirt were chatting happily, the woman seemed to notice Zhao Huai’s presence. She glanced at him, then said something to the elder.

Upon carefully listening, the elder in the scholarly robe revealed a smile, stopped talking, and, looking in Zhao Huai’s direction, transmitted a message with a smile:

“Since it is Royal Crown Prince of Yan Country, why not come in and sit down?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators playing music around them all stopped, looked up in surprise, and gazed at the handsome young man in white in the sky.

Especially the woman in the pleated skirt, her eyes sparkled.

The gentle breeze continued to blow, and everyone remained silent, waiting for Zhao Huai’s response, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

At this moment, Zhao Huai happened to be passing over their heads. Seeing the smiling gazes of these elegant scholars, he felt slightly annoyed.

Their enthusiasm was hard to resist, after all.

Seeing Zhao Huai’s expression, Yu Qinghan chuckled and said:

“Husband, since they called you, why not go? These people are young talents of the Spiritual Mountain Sects. Although they cannot compare with the Immortal Sects, it is absolutely right to make good connections in the blessed land of the Spiritual Mountain.”

Zhao Huai sighed, “Let’s listen to my wife then. It’s not that I don’t want to go, but I’m not good at dealing with people. The more people there are, the more awkward I feel. In all those years in Jinzhou, I didn’t know many people.”

In simpler terms, he was a bit socially anxious.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Yu Qinghan reassured him briefly, then took Zhao Huai by the hand and arrived at the elegant floating island.

At the entrance of the floating island, there were two cloud-catching phoenix birds with cloud-white wings and brilliantly colorful feathers that looked extremely noble and pure.

The cloud-catching phoenix bird was a strange auspicious bird with a very thin phoenix bloodline in its body. It had no combat power but looked quite beautiful.

Zhao Huai also found it very peculiar and couldn’t help but think of his own myna bird.

He casually asked:

“Madam, did you take the myna bird from the pawnshop with you?”

“Mhm, I’m raising it in the Imperial Palace of Xia.”

“Oh.”

Zhao Huai nodded thoughtfully and soon arrived in front of the various cultivators. They looked at him solemnly, bowed slightly, smiled and nodded, or raised their drinks in a toast. All of them had one thing in common: their smiles were filled with goodwill.

The middle-aged man in the green shirt playing the guqin was the first to get up and pay his respects, smiling and saying: “Welcome, Prince Zhao Huai, to my Fengxi Mountain.”

“And who is this?”

He asked with a smile when he saw Yu Qinghan.

“Oh, this is my wife.” Zhao Huai explained directly.

“So, it’s the Crown Prince’s Wife, my apologies.”

“I heard that Your Highness defeated the devil boat of Demonbred Situ Huan alone. Can you tell us more about it? After all, even the two geniuses Zi Yun and

Chen Jianshu were defeated.”

In the crowd, a young disciple bravely asked.

Zhao Huai hesitated for a while, not expecting anyone would ask such a question, and said with a hard face: “Well... It was all thanks to Hierarch Hai of the Limitless Immortal Sect who helped. Moreover, Zi Yun and Chen Jianshu both exhausted a lot of their magic power fighting Situ Huan, so I just took advantage of the situation.”

“Your Highness is humble.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in with a laugh.

When there was one question, there was a second one.

“The elders in the sect said that you are a descendant of Ancestor Yan Zu, so do you possess his divine skills?”

“Uh... I don’t think so...”

This question left Zhao Huai speechless.

“Since it’s certain that the Yan Country has already restored its kingdom and the Xia is certainly not its match, I’m curious about how Your Highness will deal with the Xia’s Empress in the future.”

Hearing this, Zhao Huai hurriedly looked at Yu Qinghan.

Fortunately, there were no traces of murderous intent on her face, and she remained calm.

“I’m sorry, but I cannot answer this question...”

“Your Highness’s sword skill has reached the Seventh Realm of the Sword Scripture, as Chen Jianshu said three days ago. I have some questions about cultivation. Can you enlighten me?”

“Well, on the matters of sword skill cultivation, it’s quite complicated and cannot be explained in a short time.”

“I also want to ask...”

“This...”

The atmosphere at the scene was very lively, and the passion of these young disciples seemed to be ignited. Questions were pouring one after another, leaving Zhao Huai flabbergasted.

Seeing this, Elder Ye on the high seat couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and Cai Yuxiang beside him also smiled.

In their eyes, Zhao Huai’s popularity was a good thing.

It showed that Ancestor Yan Zu still had a significant influence in Spiritual Mountain.

But knowing that her husband wasn’t good at dealing with such situations, Yu Qinghan couldn’t help but clear her throat. She coughed and put on a serious face.

The young talents around them stopped and looked at her.

Yu Qinghan was unfazed by the gazes of those around her and said with a graceful and indifferent demeanor:

“The myriad of worldly affairs, with countless troubles, are both cultivation and a delight.”

“So instead of asking these questions, why don’t you think about it first? You might gain some insights. After all, my husband is just an ordinary cultivator, not a reincarnated Great Being. Please be more understanding.”

As soon as these words were uttered, the cultivators at the scene really began to think.

They pondered the meaning of the words.

Countless troubles were both cultivation and joy.

This contained considerable truth.

Zhao Huai could finally breathe a sigh of relief and secretly gave his wife a thumbs up.

“Ying! ”

Suddenly, a crane’s cry sounded.

A flying crane descended from the sky, and a cultivator in an elegant robe jumped off, yelling anxiously:

“Elder Ye, all the disciples who went out from the Yan Sheng Mansion yesterday have gone missing!” “What happened?”

Elder Ye frowned.

“Not just Yan Sheng Mansion, but many other sect disciples who went to

Northern State, Western State, and Southern State have also disappeared!”Top novel updates at novelhall.com
