Chapter 165 - Golden Hair Meeting Silver Hair

A few days later---

The sunlight shining on the roofs of buildings made them vibrant and lively.

People bustled through the streets, shouting incessantly:

"The newly released Spirit Gathering pill~~~"

"Roast chicken!! Roast chicken!! Secret sauce, exclusive secret recipe..."

...

Holding an elegant umbrella and wearing an expensive golden silk dress, Yun Xi strolled through the streets.

Behind her, her fellow disciple who came with her from the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, was scanning the surroundings, seemingly vigilant against suspicious cultivators who came over to accost her. At the same time, he was also scrutinizing the now-revitalized Dragon House.

"Young Lady, how long do you think Miss Li can last? She hasn't replied to us for so long. Could the Black Star Sect have beaten us to it?" he asked.

Yun Xi frowned at him, slightly annoyed, and replied, "Dragon House is her father's legacy, and she is not a naive little girl. She knows that agreeing to our demands is equivalent to handing over most of the family business to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. She won't easily agree, especially since Sister Xiao is helping her."

"But Miss Xiao won't stay in the Dragon House forever, right?"

The brother raised his eyebrows and shook his head, adding, "How about we go there and talk again? If this matter can be settled, the Patriarch will not blame you too harshly for the death of our brothers and sisters."

"Hmm..."

Yun Xi's frown deepened, feeling annoyed when she recalled what happened a few days ago.

She had heard previously that Li Feng would put forward the Heavenly Splitting Sword as the top prize coming from the leader of the Dragons' Convention. Coincidentally, Moon Shadow Sword Sect had some business cooperation to negotiate with Li Feng, so she took the initiative to take on this matter and came here with some people.

As a result, the incident with the red snow and the demonic cultivators broke out right before the night she was supposed to speak with Li Feng. Of the twelve disciples who accompanied her, eleven of them died, leaving only the one who was following her now.

Although it was said that life and death on the path to immortality were determined by fate, she still felt responsible for the deaths of those eleven fellow disciples.

However, several thugs immediately rushed out of the gambling house with iron bars and swords in their hands, attacking her fiercely.

Seeing this, Feng Yu Die flinched, remembering that Xiao Yunluo had told her that if she was caught by the guards again, she would not come to get her out anymore. Then, she took out her sword scabbard from her storage bag.

With a flash of light from the scabbard, those thugs flew right back into the gambling house.

She put the scabbard on her back, squinted her eyes, and stuck out her tongue toward the casino. "Ha~~"

Then, she turned and ran away from the crowd of onlookers, disappearing without a trace.

After watching everything, Yun Xi frowned slightly and showed some surprise. "That woman's sword technique..."

"Huh?" The brother next to her cocked his head. "Wasn't it just a swing? Did you see anything, Young Lady?"

"..."

Yun Xi shook her head slightly. With her many years of experience in observing swords, if an ordinary person swung a sword, she could basically figure out the details of the sword technique used by that person, how to exert force, how to mobilize spiritual power, how to accumulate strength, how to move the sword...

There might be many superficial changes, but no straying from the original root. After all, the Moon Shadow Sword Sect's techniques were derived from the world's all-encompassing sword techniques compiled by their Immortal Ancestor, Yunjian.

Most sword techniques could be classified into twelve schools, but she couldn't tell which school the silver-haired girl's sword technique belonged to.

Maybe if she saw it a few more times, she would be able to figure it out. It was indeed too fast right now.

Yun Xi shrugged, then looked at the sky. Seeing that it was already afternoon, she led her companion to the Dragon Mansion, preparing to discuss the cooperation with Li Longling and ask if she had found anything about her younger brother and sister.

After stating their purpose to the guards at the gate and showing their identity cards, they arrived in front of the main hall smoothly.

The maid bowed with a smile on her face and said, "Please wait here. I will go in and announce your arrival."

"Fine..."

Yun Xi hesitated and nodded. After the maid went in, her companion suddenly leaned over and asked softly, "Young Lady, do you feel something is not right? It seems that the maids and guards of the mansion are full of joy. Last time we came here, they were looking gloomy."

"I'm not blind."
