Young master! What do you think that is? Chaxianyu saw that in front of the carriage, a tall pavilion suddenly appeared in front of him. In the surroundings, nothing else could be seen, it was towering and spectacular, the eaves were like birds spreading their wings, the four corners were raised, and every layer of the eaves were decorated with vermillion round wooden beads.

This is the first time I've seen such a grand building in the wilderness," she said slowly, her golden eyes narrowing as she looked in the direction she had indicated. Can we go and take a look? The tea envious fish's eyes lit up in excitement, she revealed a pitiful begging expression, young master … We've been sitting in this wagon for days, and the fish are bored to death.

Luo Rongji leaned against the back of the Green Pine Stone Flower and held his hands behind his back. Hearing Chaxianyu's words, he opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Chaxianyu's puckered up face, then turned and suggested to Shier Hong that there should be an open space in front of the pavilion, which was just nice for him to teach her martial arts. Jinan City was still more than a day away from arriving. Now that he had settled down to rest, it would be worth it.

The horse carriage stopped with a creak. Chaxianyu could not wait and was the first to jump down to the ground after pulling open the pearl curtain. She raised her head and realized that there was a golden word on a wooden signboard hung at the entrance of the pavilion.

Hey... Star Restaurant?

and Shier Hong had also come to stand behind her. The two of them looked at each other and Shier Hong said in a deep voice, "Yu Er, this is not an ordinary building, this is one of the Four Great Clans, the symbol and cultivation location of the Wu Clan. It is a place to divine stars."

Chaxianyu quickly recalled that there were four great clans in the world, the "Tea, Xu, Luo, Wu" clan. Amongst them, the Luo Clan and the Wu Clan were both clans that had been established in history to name the nation after their clan. During the period of the eight empires' struggle for hegemony, the Emperor of China went all the way to war, easily capturing the five empires. Yet, just to subdue these last two empires, he fought countless bloody tug-of-war …

It was said that the only reason why the Emperor Xun did not choose the son of the royal family of the Wu Country of Luo Country to enter the palace was because he was afraid of the great power these two ancient clans would continue to possess, even if they had to destroy their nation.

Since he was already here, why didn't he go in? In front of Chaxianyu and the rest, a tall man with long hair and a broad shoulders and a narrow waist slowly walked out from the tall pavilion in front of them.

He was dressed in a light purple coat, a white robe with a tight hem, and a high neck. His fine collar, cuffs, and fine hem were inlaid with a ring of bright white pearls, and his hair that had fallen to his ankles was a dark brown like ginger sugar. Although his tone was inviting, his eyes were like cold stars, and his face was cold, and his eyes were of a different color, one yellow and one green.

Disturbing your lordship, please forgive me. I did not have any important matters to attend to, and just happened to pass by the Lord's house. At this moment, I was curiously watching and was about to leave.

Shier Hong had long heard that Wu Clan was one of the original eight nations, and was one of the only aristocratic families in the Four Great Clans that had read the reports. They were well versed in the arts of reconciling Yin and Yang, knew of luck, knew of tribulations, were mysterious, kept a low profile and tolerated, and had kept their clan members hidden in the city for many years. If they wanted to find him, they could only look at him in the Celestial Tower he built and spy on him. Other people would be able to find him anywhere, but who knew that Chaxianyu would catch him today with his sharp eyes.

Your surname is Xu?

The man with the strange eyes who was addressed respectfully by Shier Hong as Master had a deadpan expression and his ice-cold voice rose slightly. He stood there like a puppet with lines that were activated by Shier Hong, ethereal and calm, as if he was looking down from the clouds.

Shier Hong bowed, his tone neither servile nor overbearing, in reply to Master, I am Xu with one word, I am surnamed Xu, but it has nothing to do with my background.

The man with the strange eyes still had an ice-cold expression. He indifferently swept a glance at Chaxianyu who was behind Shier Hong, and suddenly said. It's a pity that my interest isn't in you, but the servant girl behind you, can I borrow your hand?

Chaxianyu was shocked, she retreated a few steps back, then shook her head like a rattle drum. Young master, I'm afraid! I don't want to go in with him!

At this time, Luo Rongji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly bent his waist and whispered into Chaxianyu's ear. There was a rumor that Wu Clan holds a forbidden technique that can predict the future, you can follow him in and find an opportunity to ask Empress Cha for his whereabouts.

Hearing that, Chaxianyu subconsciously clenched her fists, she mustered up her courage and followed Luo Rongji's encouraging gaze to look, towards the extraordinary Master Yu Tong, who was quietly standing in front of the entrance waiting for her decision.

Shier Hong turned around with a rare serious face. His golden eyes were deep and his delicate eyebrows were locked tightly together. His Wu Clan is mysterious and powerful, and no one has been able to see through his strength to this day. If we accidentally provoke him, it is possible that even Luo Rongji and I will not be able to resist if we join hands … I'm sorry Yu Er, I can only let you go.

If anything is amiss, summon me and Luo Rongji anytime.

Chaxianyu nodded. She made a reassuring gesture towards Shier Hong and the others, then quickly followed the man dressed in purple in the white robe. Soon, the two of them disappeared into the deep and quiet pitch black pavilion.

You are Chaxianyu?

The pavilion was not lit up, and the entire long road was pitch-black and dark. Chaxianyu supported herself against the wall as she felt around, and before she had even taken a few steps, the man's cold voice came from a place not far away.

Yes, this is the name my mother gave me.

Chaxianyu replied honestly, she hated that she couldn't use her hands and feet to crawl in the darkness … The corridor was so dark, and the space was so spacious and deep. It was hard for a blind person like her to walk in. She could only act like a blind person as she carefully listened to the footsteps of the man in front of her.

You want to know the whereabouts of the Queen of Tea?

Chaxianyu's tiger body trembled. She was so excited that she could not say anything, and even ignored the dark environment that the other party could not see, nodding her head with all her might. I received a scroll filled with secret sects. She was at the legendary Penglai Immortal City's "Guangye"?

In the dark surroundings, Chaxianyu heard the man secretly let out a quivering chuckle.

She thought she had heard wrongly, but in the next second, the person's tone was as usual, distant and distant, without any fluctuations.

The rules of the game are up to you to explore.

Chaxianyu was confused. Game? Rules?

With a click, a burst of light flared up around them, and a few bright blue colored flames lit up around them. Chaxianyu squinted her eyes, and only with the help of the zero light from the fire did she get used to the darkness, and after looking around and confirming once again, she was shocked to the point that her breathing stopped.

In her line of sight, there was an endless starry sky.

The purple robed white robed man walked out from the sparkling stars. It seemed that he didn't belong to this space as the world stretched endlessly. There was no sound coming from his ears, only the faint flow of starlight and the blood in his body could not help but freeze inch by inch.

His face was like a merciful god, the hair that reached his ankles fluttered recklessly in the bright and resplendent stars behind him. Chaxianyu was a little stupefied as she watched the man gently brush his way in front of her like an autumn leaf, with an ice-cold hand caressing her cheek.

Chen Xuanji ended with White Tiger leading the way. There was something in the wide wilderness, the Thousand Dawn Luan's cry.

The current Sixth Princess of the Prehistoric Realm, the Emperor of the world, Hua Xun's only daughter. Hua Xingning, do you know that this secret sect spanned over four thousand years and originated from your clan?

Chaxianyu's eyes trembled violently in disbelief. What?!

The man lowered his eyelids, his expression still as cold as ice. His pair of yellow-green eyes were sparkling. Without a sound or trace, it was abnormally beautiful, yet it emitted a gloomy and cold aura of a dead person's bones.

Even if you know the secrets of heaven, do not turn the tables on me. This is my destiny and also an unavoidable fate for me. Unfortunately, this is all I can tell you.

The man slowly raised his arm up until it was just a short distance from Chaxianyu's chest. Then he placed his palm forward and his fingertips on the cloth in front of Chaxianyu's chest and started to mutter a chant in a low voice.

If I rush then I will be able to slow down, but if I speed up, I will be able to calm down.

Chaxianyu stared blankly at the man in front of him. The silver light that was gradually growing larger and brighter, as if it had broken out of the prison. It expanded and expanded, layer by layer rippling, finally condensing into a giant silver ball that was rotating at a high speed.

The man with the strange eyes who called himself "Wu Zhiya" raised his other hand that was not forming hand seals, and lightly snapped his fingers towards Chaxianyu.

Chaxianyu's ears roared, and all of a sudden, the sound of glass shattering came from the horizon, it was clear and sharp, it pierced through all her bones, she held onto her chest, feeling her heart trembling, unable to breathe, causing her heart to be in pain. The silver grey ball was like an invisible fishing net that covered the sky, slowly wrapping around Chaxianyu, converging towards him, and finally disappearing into Chaxianyu's body.

Wu Zhiya quietly gazed at the small, skinny and extremely ordinary girl who was half-kneeling on the ground enduring the pain. He removed his illusion technique, waved his robes and widened his long legs as he turned around to leave.

My life is not yours, so the fault does not lie with you. The seal I left on you has already broken a shackle someone set on you with other intentions. At a critical moment, it will take effect.

Chaxianyu, you had better pray for yourself in the future.

"Woosh ~ ~ ~"

Chaxianyu was in a trance as she heard the whistling sounds of birds flapping their wings. It sounded like a drop of water had splashed into the mountain stream when spring water rushed into the mountain stream.

Chaxianyu once again stood under the signboard of the "Star Propping Tower". Before she even had the chance to digest what had happened, Shier Hong's familiar yet anxious call came from behind her, "Yu Er!"
