Mu Qiqi laughed playfully, “Your talent is being wasted in Flowing Moon City. You should go to the capital and make a big splash.”

Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Indeed, but when I go to the capital, it won’t be to make a splash, but rather… to wreak havoc.”

Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes and said, “The capital is now a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den. Don’t you dare act recklessly.”

Then, Mu Qiqi leaned in, smiling sweetly, “You know, last night I gave it some thought. The Heart-Setting Pill you mentioned, with its four different formulas, the last one is indeed very convenient, but it’s too difficult to implement…”

Hearing Mu Qiqi’s words, Ye Wushuang felt his head buzzing. This woman had far too many questions.

“Ye Wushuang, don’t ignore me,” Mu Qiqi persisted, “I’m sincerely seeking your advice.”

Seeing Mu Qiqi’s relentless determination, Ye Wushuang realized that the journey to the capital, which would take at least seven or eight days, was unlikely to be peaceful.

On one side, Ye Wushuang and his group were heading towards the capital. Meanwhile, in the capital of the Qingyun Empire, Qing Tian City, within a bustling market district, there stood a towering inn, a hundred zhang high, magnificent and grand.

At that moment, on the top floor of the inn, a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a black hat, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast capital from the window. With a creak, the door opened, and a figure entered the room, bowing and saying, “Second Hall Master, the young master has returned.”

“Oh?”

A hoarse voice sounded, and the man in the black robe slowly turned around. His face was covered, making it impossible to see his features clearly, but the air of authority he exuded made anyone in his presence dare not show the slightest disrespect.

“Dad.”

Outside the room, Xu Qiuyuan, dressed in a long robe, walked in with a smile, “I’m back.”

The man in the room, seeing Xu Qiuyuan, smiled and said in a hoarse voice, “You rascal, I sent you to do something important, yet you dawdled in Flowing Moon City for nearly a month. I heard that the Soul-Devouring Hall in Flowing Moon City was even dismantled?”

Xu Qiuyuan looked at his father. Within the Qingyun Empire, aside from the royal family and the major clans, the Dark Soul Hall was also an absolutely terrifying force. His father, Xu Wenyuan, was the second hall master of the Dark Soul Hall, with unfathomable strength.

From childhood to adulthood, his father always wore a veil, had a hoarse voice, and rarely revealed his true face. Xu Qiuyuan distinctly remembered the one time he had seen his father’s true face—it was… too horrifying.

He had once asked his father what had happened, but his father had never answered.

“I met a genius in Flowing Moon City, a genius in array techniques, with extraordinary insights. Unfortunately, when I asked to be his disciple, he refused.”

“A genius?” Xu Wenyuan smiled and asked, “What kind of genius?”

“This guy is legendary…” Xu Qiuyuan sat down, took a bite of the spiritual fruit on the table, and continued, “His name is Ye Wushuang. He’s amazing at array techniques, pill crafting, and also a swordsman with profound sword intent. Everything I’ve seen in the past month has been nothing short of fantastical…”

Xu Qiuyuan kept talking, while Xu Wenyuan listened attentively.

Finally, Xu Qiuyuan said, “And this Ye Wushuang is also a descendant of the Ye clan from years ago.”

At that moment, Xu Wenyuan’s body, standing by the window, suddenly trembled slightly.

“What did you say?” Xu Wenyuan asked again.

“He’s… a descendant of the Ye clan?” Xu Qiuyuan was taken aback and said, “I was just as surprised as you when I found out. I thought everyone from the Ye clan had been killed… who would have thought there were still descendants…”

Xu Wenyuan’s eyes gleamed with a sharp light, but soon the radiance subsided. He looked at Xu Qiuyuan and said indifferently, “Since you’ve come back early, Ye Wushuang should be arriving in the capital soon, right?”

“They say he’ll be here in the next few days.”

Xu Wenyuan then said, “We have a residence in the eastern part of the city. If Ye Wushuang arrives, you can give this residence to him.”

“Huh?”

Xu Qiuyuan was stunned upon hearing this.
