Mu Qiqi smiled playfully and said, “Your talent would be wasted in Liuyue City. You belong in the Imperial Capital, where you can truly make a name for yourself.”

Ye Wushuang chuckled and replied, “Indeed, but when I go to the Imperial Capital, it won’t be to make a name for myself… it will be to **wreak havoc**.”

Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes and said, “The Imperial Capital is a den of dragons and tigers now. Don’t go causing trouble.”

Then, she leaned in with a beaming smile and said, “By the way, I thought about it last night. The Lixin Pill you mentioned, with its four different formulas, the last one is indeed very convenient, but it’s just too difficult to implement…”

Upon 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, showing no signs of giving up. “I’m sincerely asking for your guidance.”

Seeing that Mu Qiqi was so determined not to let go, Ye Wushuang realized that the journey to the Imperial Capital, which would take at least seven or eight days, was going to be anything but peaceful.

On one side, Ye Wushuang and his group were heading towards the Imperial Capital.

At the same time, within the Qingyun Empire’s Imperial Capital, Qingtian City.

In a bustling marketplace, there stood a towering inn, rising a hundred zhang into the air, 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 view of the Imperial 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 echoed, and the man in the black robe slowly turned around. His face was covered, making it impossible to discern his features, but the air of authority he exuded was such that no one dared show the slightest disrespect in his presence.

“Father.”

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

The man in the room, upon seeing Xu Qiuyuan, smiled and said in his hoarse voice, “You good-for-nothing boy, I sent you to do something important, yet you’ve been dawdling in Liuyue City for nearly a month. I heard that the Shihun Hall in Liuyue City was even dismantled?”

Xu Qiuyuan looked at his father.

Within the Qingyun Empire, aside from the royal family and the major clans, the Anhun Hall was also an absolutely terrifying force.

And his father, Xu Wenyuan, was the Second Hall Master of the Anhun Hall, with an unfathomable level of power.

Ever since he was a child, his father had always worn a veil, had a hoarse voice, and rarely revealed his true face.

Xu Qiuyuan vividly 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 Liuyue City, a genius of array techniques, with extraordinary insights. Unfortunately, when I asked him to be my mentor, he refused.”

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

“This guy is legendary…” Xu Qiuyuan sat down, took a bite of a spiritual fruit from the table, and continued, “His name is Ye Wushuang. He’s amazing at array techniques, alchemy, and he’s also a swordsman with a powerful 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.

Until finally, Xu Qiuyuan mentioned, “And, this Ye Wushuang is also a descendant of the Ye Clan from years ago.”

At that moment, Xu Wenyuan, 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 as surprised as you when I found out. I thought everyone from the Ye Clan had been killed… who knew there was still a descendant…”

Xu Wenyuan’s eyes now gleamed with a sharp light, but soon the brilliance subsided. He looked at Xu Qiuyuan and said calmly, “Since you’re back early, Ye Wushuang should be arriving in the Imperial Capital soon, right?”

“He’s supposed to get 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.
