“Moreover, Xia Lei has brought several pills. I took a look, and they are truly remarkable. Xia Lei said they were crafted by Ye Wushuang,” Mu Qi Qi said, as several pills appeared in the palm of her hand, their faint, pleasant fragrance spreading through the air.

Qing Shi Hua glanced at the pills and smiled, “This young man is indeed extraordinary. However… the letter mentions that he is unconscious? What does that mean?”

Mu Qi Qi took the letter but did not answer. Instead, she affectionately embraced Qing Shi Hua’s slender waist and said with a grin, “I was planning to send a second-grade spiritual pill master, but since you’ve said so much, I suppose I’ll have to go and see for myself.”

“Oh?”

Qing Shi Hua teased, “Be careful not to be bewitched by his pretty face and never come back.”

“You’re the one who’s easily bewitched,” Qing Shi Hua retorted.

Qing Shi Hua!

The eldest daughter of the Qingyun Empire’s Mountain-Stabilizing King, she is now also a renowned talent on the Qingyun Academy’s Treading Clouds List, truly a favored child of heaven.

Mu Qi Qi’s background is no less impressive. Her mother is the empire’s Grand Princess and also Qing Shi Hua’s aunt.

Qing Shi Hua and Mu Qi Qi are cousins, and the two have been extremely close since childhood, sharing everything with each other.

“Wait a moment,” Mu Qi Qi said. “Won’t Shi Yu deceive you?”

“I don’t think so,” Qing Shi Hua replied with a smile. “That girl… I think she’s been completely captivated by this Ye Wushuang.”

“Oh?”

“You have no idea…” Qing Shi Hua continued. “Ever since she came back and was put under house arrest by her father, she’s been constantly talking to me about how amazing and incredible this Ye Wushuang is…”

“She even said… once Ye Wushuang arrives at the Qingyun Academy, my top ten position on the Treading Clouds List will definitely be surpassed by him.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Qi Qi stood up, spread her arms, and stood by the window, looking as if she were a fairy, detached from the mundane world. She smiled and said, “In that case, I definitely need to go and see for myself.”

“Oh? For a mere pill master, even if he is very talented, is it really worth the daughter of the Qingyun Pavilion’s master to go in person?” Qing Shi Hua teased. “I think you just want to see if he’s handsome or not.”

“Naughty girl, talking nonsense,” Mu Qi Qi playfully choked Qing Shi Hua’s neck, but then laughed, “He truly is a genius, and it’s worth my trip.”

“Recently, the Saintly Dan Pavilion has been pressing us Qingyun Pavilion so hard that we can hardly breathe. Even Old Master Cheng is quite troubled.”

“Especially with the recent emergence of a young first-grade spiritual pill master from the Saintly Dan Pavilion, who has created several types of first-grade spiritual pills with unique effects and low prices, taking away a lot of our business.”

Hearing this, the smile on Qing Shi Hua’s face disappeared, and she said, “The Saintly Dan Pavilion has a deep background, and even the royal family dares not provoke it. I’m sure my aunt has been quite troubled by this.”

“My mother…”

Mu Qi Qi replied, “My mother is not the type to worry, after all, she has my father’s support.”

Thinking of Mu Qi Qi’s father, that unfathomable figure, Qing Shi Hua nodded slowly.

If it were just the Qingyun Empire’s royal family establishing the Qingyun Pavilion to compete with the Saintly Dan Pavilion, they would certainly not be a match.

But with Mu Qi Qi’s father backing them, the Qingyun Pavilion was not so afraid of the Saintly Dan Pavilion.

However, the Saintly Dan Pavilion, with its roots in the forces beyond the empire, had a deep foundation, extremely strong pill masters, and indeed produced higher-quality pills.

This was something the Qingyun Pavilion could not match.

What the Qingyun Pavilion lacked was pill masters.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll go with you!”

Qing Shi Hua said with a smile.

“Oh? The precious pearl of the Mountain-Stabilizing King is willing to accompany me to a remote place like Liuyue City? I’m truly honored.”

“Just asking for a beating,” Qing Shi Hua smiled and then continued calmly, “Shi Yu originally went to the Liuyue Mountains to carry out an academy mission, but she ran into Chu Yunsheng of the Chu clan and almost died at his hands. It was Ye Wushuang who saved her.”

“Now that Chu Yunsheng is dead, Chu Yuntian accuses Shi Yu of killing a fellow disciple. The academy is taking this matter very seriously and has sent disciples to investigate discreetly. I’ll go and take a look as well.”

“It’s Ye Wushuang again,” Mu Qi Qi said in surprise. “It seems we really do need to make a trip.”

With that, Mu Qi Qi took Qing Shi Hua’s wrist.

“What for?”

“Let’s go!”

“Now?”

Mu Qi Qi laughed, “Of course. He’s unconscious. If we go too late and he dies, wouldn’t that be a huge loss for our Qingyun Pavilion?”
