Chapter 417: Delivering a Letter

Wang Yu Wei was a very sentimental person; otherwise, she would not have taken risks by trading with Zhou Luo for her mother’s sake, and later on, she went so far as to plan matters of going outside.

Later, after she became a disciple of a Golden Core master, she silently eliminated those forces within the family that targeted her and her mother one by one; even the current family head of the Wang Family was replaced by someone loyal to her.

It could be said that the current Wang Family was entirely ruled by Wang Yu Wei’s word.

Now, after so many years had passed, she had already leaped from her former status as a Qi Refinement cultivator to become a late-stage Foundation Establishment strong one, and she was almost forming a core.

However, that inherent nature of hers could not be so easily removed.

She was not an immortal and still had emotions and desires; naturally, she felt gratitude for the life-saving favor from back then.

Moreover, Zhou Luo had rushed to sacrifice himself to save her at the time; this kind of life-saving favor was even more profound.

To this day, Wang Yu Wei deeply remembered it in her heart.

Although the Biquan True Sect did not allow members of the opposite sex to enter, her identity was special, and her master knew about the other person’s matter, so it was likely nothing would be said.

After all, they were in her own sect gate; as long as Zhou Luo did not leave, the other disciples had nothing to say.

On landing on the ground, Zhou Luo saw an imposing palace.

The palace facade presented a crystal-clear texture, as though inlaid with countless gemstones; under the sunlight, the outline appeared thoroughly clear, shining with a blinding brilliance.

The palace roof even showed traces of formation patterns; runes flowed amid an immortal mist, mutually illuminating with the blue sky and white clouds, surpassing all earthly beauties.

At the grand palace entrance, two golden Jade Pillars supported the entire large gate, carved with beams and ornaments, exuding a majestic presence.

Wang Yu Wei led Zhou Luo into the palace; inside, the decorations were splendid yet elegant, radiating immortal air everywhere.

Magnificent murals hung on the walls, depicting various mysterious and powerful Spirit Beasts.

In the center, a gigantic Crystal Pillar stood tall; ripples of water wavered on it, radiating soft light that illuminated the entire palace like a dream.

Zhou Luo passed through the outer hall and walked along an ancient-style long corridor, his gaze falling on a pond in the garden.

In the emerald-green lake water, several plump bluish-white fish swam; these fish had boundary-sharp scales and blew bubbles, emitting vast spiritual energy.

At just one glance, Zhou Luo saw that all such fish were first-grade top-tier Spirit Beasts.

If consumed, they would offer great nourishment for oneself.

Truly fitting for the Immortal Sect; even the raised fish were top-tier Spirit Beasts, absolutely extraordinary and unmatched.

"If you like it, I will give one to you," Wang Yu Wei said after observing the other, smiling lightly.

These Spirit Fish were raised by her during boredom; if the other liked them, she did not mind giving one away.

"It is not necessary," Zhou Luo responded, shaking his head with a smile to the other’s kindness.

His relationship with her was not close enough for him to casually make requests.

Possibly the other did not care, but his own manners had to be maintained.

Once favors like this were exhausted, connections would end.

The two of them walked through that garden corridor and arrived at the rear hall.

A spacious hall contained several glass-made large chairs; a tea table crafted from golden nanmu wood was placed to the side.

Wang Yu Wei walked towards the tea table, sat on the crystal chair, raised her slender jade hand, and poured a cup of clear tea for him.

"I didn’t expect you to take the initiative and seek me out one day."

Wang Yu Wei stared at him, her beautiful eyes flickering with a glimmer of light.

Opposite her, Zhou Luo sat upright there, his expression calm, and said unhurriedly, "I came here at someone’s request to deliver a message to you."

If it weren’t for Assassin Tower and Yao Wu, he might not have come to Jin Yun Domain so quickly.

After all, this place wasn’t like Qinyuan Domain. As the central territory of Jinyun State, the cultivators here were generally stronger than those in Qinyuan Domain, and one could even encounter shape-shifting magical beasts.

"Oh?"

Wang Yu Wei uttered a sound of confusion, not expecting that the purpose of his visit wasn’t to seek her help.

Originally, she had thought he had encountered some trouble that brought him here.

If that were the case, she could have repaid the kindness he showed her years ago.

But now, it seemed he wasn’t here for himself—he was here for her.

"Whose letter? The Wang Family?"

Wang Yu Wei looked at him, her beautiful eyes carrying a trace of puzzlement.

Zhou Luo calmly took out a carefully wrapped letter from his storage ring and handed it over.

"I didn’t expect you to know people from Assassin Tower."

As soon as the words "Assassin Tower" were spoken, Wang Yu Wei’s expression visibly shifted. A flash of surprise crossed the depths of her eyes, and then her gaze landed on the letter.

Her spiritual sense stirred slightly, and the letter vanished instantly.

"It’s all just old stories from the past. I just didn’t expect Assassin Tower to ask you to find me."

Her voice changed from its previous softness to something cool and distant.

Zhou Luo’s expression remained unchanged; he didn’t probe further. He simply said, "If it weren’t for my own reasons, I wouldn’t have wanted to get involved in these matters."

These words served as a reminder to her.

He didn’t care what story existed between Wang Yu Wei and Assassin Tower; he only hoped he wouldn’t be dragged in.

Wang Yu Wei nodded slightly.

She understood his nature very well, and over the years, she had gradually realized he was an extremely cautious person who never took risks.

"Don’t worry, this matter ends here." She nodded.

After speaking, she resumed her earlier smile and continued, "Since you rarely make it here, let me show you around."

"Biquan True Sect isn’t like other places—the scenery here is arguably the finest in all of Jinyun Continent."

This was true. As he had come along the road, Zhou Luo could see the elegant and majestic peaks, along with the grand, magnificent scenes within.

Zhou Luo had originally intended to refuse, but on second thought, he still had an unresolved matter, so he simply agreed.

Behind the palace stretched a maple forest. Red and yellow maple leaves gently swayed in the light breeze. Dim light pierced through the foliage, leaving dappled shadows on the ground.

Occasionally, Spirit Beasts could be seen running among the trees, making for a vibrant, lively sight.

This palace seemed to be occupied only by Wang Yu Wei, so it felt somewhat quiet.

"By the way, do you know a woman named Ye Qian?"

On the path, Zhou Luo asked inconspicuously.

Previously, he had chosen to become intimate with her because he admired her talents and wanted to marry her, conveniently enabling them to engage in dual cultivation.

Although she had resolutely left afterwards, he still wanted to take the initiative to see if he could win her over and bring her back to Qinyuan Domain.

"Senior Sister Ye?" Wang Yu Wei halted her steps. She looked at him, her beautiful eyes gleaming slightly. "How do you know her?"

"I happened upon her being attacked by a magical beast on the road and intervened to save her." Zhou Luo said casually.

And these words left Wang Yu Wei feeling puzzled.

As far as she knew, Senior Sister Ye was close to her own cultivation level, so how could she have needed saving by him?
