Chapter 62 – Lan Xue Ruo

The Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion covered a vast area, with a majestic central hall and countless various types of buildings stretching all the way to the very end of the line of sight. Yun Che followed Xia Yuanba towards the residence that Sikong Han had arranged for him. He encountered numerous Crescent Moon Xuanfu disciples, all of whom were under the age of twenty, and those who were fifteen or sixteen years old could also be seen occasionally, while those in this age group were basically at the Primordial Xuan Realm. Along the way there were quite a few people who greeted Xia Yuanba, after all, with his age matched with his size, it was hard not to be famous.

“How many disciples are there in the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion right now?” Yun Che asked.

“I remember it was over three thousand.” Xia Yuanba thought for a moment and said, “The age limit for Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion to recruit disciples is 15 to 18 years old, and they usually leave when they reach the age of twenty. A large portion of them, in the future, will join the official Cangfeng forces.”

“However, brother-in-law, are you really going to attend that banquet tonight?” Xia Yuanba asked with some concern.

“To be able to see almost all of Crescent City’s top forces at once, with such an opportunity, of course I have to go and participate.” Yun Che sidestepped his gaze, “Yuanba, you don’t seem to be too eager to go, is there something wrong with this banquet?”

“The problem isn’t really a problem, it’s …… is …… that,” Xia Yuanba hesitated and said with some exasperation, “I heard some time ago that the previous Prefecture When the master was newly appointed, he also widely sent out invitations to set up a banquet, but, at that banquet, those invited sect disciples used the excuse of helping to spar as a reason to issue a challenge to our Crescent Moon Xuanfu’s disciples of the same age, ten challenges, our Crescent Moon Xuanfu lost ten matches in a row, so that the last master of the house had no face left, and Crescent Moon Xuanfu was even more so for the whole city to laugh for a long time.”

“Hehe, this is clearly those sects giving the new Prefecture Master a hard time, making him realize who is the giant in Crescent Moon City.” Yun Che said with a smile.

“That’s right.” Xia Yuanba nodded his head and said helplessly, “I heard that the last time the previous Prefecture Lord was newly appointed, it was also like this. However, when a Prefecture Lord is newly appointed, it’s not like he can’t celebrate without a wide invitation, or else he’ll even be ridiculed by others and lose even the last bit of his face. This time is surely the same, if we go to participate, we might be challenged by them …… It doesn’t matter if we are defeated, but those people often maliciously strike out a heavy hand, last time, there were two senior brothers who were crippled, as if they couldn’t heal for a lifetime, and the House Master could only hold his tongue.”

“The Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion has a large number of disciples who come here every year, is the strength really that bad?” Yun Che frowned.

“Of course it’s not that our Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion is not good, it’s just, it’s just that those few large sects are just too powerful, although the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion was established by the royal family, those sects have a long history, and their heritage, resources, and inherited Xuan Gongs are not something the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion can compare to. Even if they recruited outer disciples, their threshold was much higher than the Crescent Moon Xuanfu. Moreover, entering the Xuanfu established by the royal family is generally an ambition to serve the royal family in the future, the establishment of the royal family Xuanfu, the initial intention is also to attract talent to join the royal family forces. Only, those who are extremely talented are generally high-minded and proud, and the desire to join a large sect is far greater than joining the royal forces, so the average strength of the Crescent Xuanfu disciples is still more than the small and medium sized sects in Crescent City, and compared to a large sect, it is simply not comparable to that.”

The situation that Xia Yuanba was talking about was actually more than normal, let’s just say that Yun Che himself, even though he had joined the Crescent Moon Xuanfu for certain reasons, he had only joined it to look for opportunities, and had never thought of going to serve the royal family someday. He thought for a moment and asked, “What are the ones that outperform the Crescent Moon Xuanfu in terms of power in Crescent Moon City?”

“Well, let me think about it ……,” Xia Yuanba thought very seriously for a while and slowly said, “There are seven in total, which are Xuanxin Sect, Yunyang Sect, Iron Gun Sect, Seven Killing Sword Pavilion, and Feng Yun Xuanfu. ” After a pause, Xia Yuanba’s voice became a bit cautious, “These five sects all have a history of over five hundred or even a thousand years, their influence in Crescent City is deeply rooted, and their overall strength is superior to that of Crescent Xuanfu, if it wasn’t for the fact that the Crescent Xuanfu was established by the royal family, it might have long since been suppressed and sidelined by them. In addition to these five clans, there are two giants …… that even the royal family would definitely not dare to mess with, namely Xiao Zong and the Burning Sky Sect’s subclan based in Crescent City! Although it is only a sub sect, but after all, with Xiao Sect and Burning Sky Sect as backing, it is the two untouchable overlords of Crescent City.”

“Xiao Sect and Burning Sky Sect’s subsections?” Yun Che tapped his chin with his hand, and in his heart, he understood that what were nominally subsectors were in fact just “outer sects” whose talent was too lowly to be worthy of staying in the main sect. However, they were after all official “outer sects”, not the completely abandoned ones like the Xiao Sect.

“However, our Crescent Moon Xuanfu is certainly not that easy to bully.” Xia Yuanba patted his chest and said with a resigned expression, “Although that banquet five years ago caused the Crescent Moon Xuanfu to lose all its dignity, but that was five years ago! Now our Crescent Moon Xuanfu also has a lot of geniuses, definitely not worse than those sects……. ah, brother-in-law, look, that senior brother is called Li Wei Hao, seventeen years old this year, but is already at the third level of the Entry Xuan realm, I heard that he inherited the family Xuan Gong, very powerful.”

“That one over there wearing white clothes, even more powerful, I remember it seems to be called Xu Aoran, only eighteen years old, already is into the Xuan realm level five! Both of them, they are from our first class. However, the most powerful ones in our Crescent Moon Xuanfu aren’t them, but rather Senior Brother Murong and Senior Sister Xue Ruo, the two recognized geniuses of the Crescent Moon Xuanfu. Tonight’s banquet, the Elder will definitely bring them, with them there, it definitely won’t be like five years ago ……”

Speaking here, Xia Yuanba’s voice rattled to a halt, and in front of them, a young man wearing a white robe and a young girl dressed in snow were walking side by side. The man looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with an upright figure, a handsome face, and a plump god like jade, a beautiful man who was enough to make a pregnant girl turn into a nymphomaniac in seconds.

And the young girl beside him was even more beautiful to make people’s hearts tremble. She looked on the same eighteen or nineteen years of age, a pair of beautiful eyes, cherry lips with shells, eyebrows like a crescent moon, the most touching is the corner of her mouth of the shallow smile, such as incense and the wind like a warm heart.

The two people are like the golden girls from the painting, the moment they appear, they take away all the luster of heaven and earth. The young man had been saying something next to the girl, constantly looking sideways at the girl’s reaction, while the girl always had a warm smile on her face and did not speak. Although she was only gently stepping forward, it was as if she was letting people see a white-robed fairy dancing lightly, especially her long, snow-white neck, which made her emit a noble and elegant hazy temperament amidst her pretty beauty, making people feel as if they were seeing the princess that should be residing in the middle of the royal family that was so high up in the sky.

“What a beautiful girl.” Yun Che’s heart let out a gasp. Although her face was not as good as Xia Qingyue’s, it was definitely one in a million, and she was as beautiful as a country. And the kind of hazy and vaguely noble temperament she had was incomparable to Xia Qingyue. What made Yun Che marvel the most was the calmness in her eyes and expression. Generally speaking, girls who were beautiful to such an extent would carry more or less arrogance, and his wife Xia Qingyue was a typical representative. But this girl is temperament gentle, eyes soft like water, between the eyebrows is not the slightest trace of the existence of arrogance, the corners of the mouth that a natural light smile, let a person look at a glance, the whole heart is almost melted for it.

“Senior Brother Murong, Senior Sister Xue Ruo!”

While Yun Che was silently admiring this girl, Xia Yuanba was the one who pulled him up and took the initiative to welcome him.

Murong? Xue Ruo? Eh? Could this be the two people that Yuanba had just mentioned …… Yun Che thought in his heart.

“Senior Brother Xia, are you going back to your residence to rest?” Seeing Xia Yuanba, the girl greeted him with a smile, and when her voice rang out, Yun Che instantly had a feeling of warmth slowly flowing from his ears to his heart, because this voice was truly too soft and pleasing to the ear, and just simply listening to this voice was an unspeakable enjoyment. Close contact with her eyes, even more clearly feel her eyes and smile is how soft and mesmerizing.

And the girl’s gaze also looked towards Yun Che at this time, asking curiously, “This is ……”

“Hehehe, he’s my brother-in-law, who just entered our Xuan Province today. Still in the same class as us!” Xia Yuanba said smilingly, “Brother-in-law, they are Senior Brother Murong Night and Senior Sister Lan Xueruo that I just mentioned to you, they are the most marvelous Senior Brothers and Sisters of our Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion in this class.”

Yun Che took a step forward with a polite smile on his face, “Hello, two senior brothers and sisters, Junior Brother Yun Che, I am new to the Xuan Province, so in the future, I would like to ask for the two senior brothers and sisters to take care of me.”

Murong Night nodded slightly as an answer. His gaze lingered on Yun Che for a moment before moving away, a deep arrogance hanging between his brows. There was also a hint of dissatisfaction, clearly unhappy that they had disturbed his and Lan Xueruo’s “two-person world”.

“Oh? You’ve also entered our first class?” Lan Xueruo took a good look at Yun Che and laughed: “You look so small, but you’re already at the first level of the Xuan Realm, no wonder Elder Sikong snatched you into the first class. If those little beauties in the class knew that such a handsome junior apprentice-brother had newly arrived, they would be overjoyed. You must be careful, little brother. Huh? No, Senior Brother Xia just seemed to call you ‘Brother-in-law’, is it possible that, you’re already married?”

Before Yun Che could answer, Xia Yuanba had already jumped the gun and said, “Right, right. Although my brother-in-law is only sixteen years old this year, he already consummated his marriage with my sister half a year ago.”

“Oh~~~ So Young Master Yun is only sixteen. Rushing to get married so early, it seems like the bride must be very beautiful.” Lan Ruoxue said with a smiling face.

“Ahahaha…… Anyway, in the future, I’ll still ask Senior Brother and Sister to take care of her.” Yun Che laughed somewhat awkwardly, then with a turn of his eyes, he smiled at Lan Ruoxue and said, “I guess, Senior Sister Ruoxue must not be a local, right?”

“Oh? How do you know?” Lan Xueruo blinked her pretty eyes.

“Because it feels like Crescent Moon City’s earthly qi is restless and its spiritual qi is slightly turbid, so it shouldn’t be able to nurture a great beauty as graceful and spiritual as Senior Sister Xue Ruo.”

Blue Xue Ruo was slightly stunned, then her pink lips slightly curved, her slender eyebrows arched: “Junior Senior Brother Yun is not only good looking, his talent is also very good, and his mouth is also so sweet, it’s a pity that Junior Junior Brother Yun has already gotten married, or else, Senior Sister might …… be able to say that hee hee hee.”

Lan Xueruo was clearly a mischievous joke, but it caused Murong Night, who was on his side, to raise her eyebrows violently and fiercely glare at Yun Che.

Yun Che, however, seemed as if he didn’t see it at all, and said to Lan Xueruo with a smile, “It’s fine, my wife has assured me that she will never oppose me finding another wife.”
