Mo Hongyue’s drug? The Dreaming Fairy Powder from the Demon Sect.
This Dreaming Fairy Powder is incredibly potent.
Without an antidote,
Lin Wangchuan and the others could end up sleeping for over ten days without food or water.
That would be a disaster.
Even though they aren’t just any ordinary people,
even if they sleep for over ten days,
they wouldn’t starve to death, but their vitality would surely be severely harmed.
Most importantly, in five days, the Grand Tournament is upon us!
Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang have fought their way through the sect competition to earn their spots at the Grand Tournament.
If Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang are asleep for ten days, how can they participate?
At this moment, nothing is more important than the Grand Tournament.
Xiao Yang is getting anxious.
The Grand Tournament means a lot to him.
Winning the Grand Tournament is his top priority.
He wants to declare in front of the entire world that he is leaving the Qingyang Sword Sect.
He wants to announce his severance from the Xiao family before everyone.
The Grand Tournament cannot be messed up.
“What do we do now?”
Xiao Yang suddenly found himself at a loss.
Go capture Mo Hongyue for the antidote?
Don’t be ridiculous.
Mo Hongyue could be anywhere by now.
“I have the antidote!”
Hua Mengli smiled at Xiao Yang.
“What?”
Xiao Yang was taken aback.
“Just tell me what you want!”
Xiao Yang knew that Hua Mengli’s antidote wouldn’t come free of charge.
In his previous life, he roamed the Northern Territory for a thousand years; he knew there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
“As long as you promise to help me with one thing, I’ll give you the antidote.”
Hua Mengli looked at Xiao Yang earnestly.
She wasn’t joking.
“As long as it’s not bad, I will give it my all.”
Xiao Yang thought for a moment and nodded.
“Great!”
Hua Mengli beamed with joy.
“Alright, what is it that you need me to do?”
Xiao Yang asked directly.
“Hmm, I haven’t thought of it yet. I’ll tell you once I do.”
Hua Mengli pondered for a bit.
“Okay, I’ll hold you to that.”
Xiao Yang said with a serious face.
“A gentleman’s word is his bond!”
Hua Mengli stated.
“I, Xiao Yang, vow to keep my word!”
Xiao Yang declared loudly.
Hua Mengli looked deeply at Xiao Yang before taking out a small jade bottle and tossing it to him.
“Just uncork the bottle and hold it under their noses for them to inhale.”
Hua Mengli reminded.
“What, it’s that simple?”
Xiao Yang was stunned.
“You think it’s difficult?”
Hua Mengli said cheerily.
Xiao Yang said no more; he approached Lin Wangchuan, uncorked the bottle, and held it under his nose.
Soon enough, Lin Wangchuan sneezed and opened his eyes.
He leaped up.
“Holy Son, what happened?”
Lin Wangchuan was in shock.
“The guys from the Demon Sect were up to no good; it’s nothing serious.”
Xiao Yang replied nonchalantly.
He used the same method to wake up Song Qiang and Luo Feng.
Once Song Qiang and Luo Feng woke up, they were bewildered.
They had been ambushed.
It was the remnants of the Demon Sect once again.
These remnants just wouldn’t let up!
At that moment, two women walked in from outside.
He had seen both of them at the Carefree Inn.
One was the innkeeper, and the other was an Elder from the Carefree Palace.
“Greetings, Holy Maiden…”
the innkeeper spoke first.
“Holly Maiden?”
Xiao Yang feigned shock.
“I’m Hua Xiaofeng, not my twin sister.”
Hua Mengli quickly clarified.
“This…”
Both the innkeeper and the Elder from the Carefree Palace were slightly dazed.
But they quickly regained their composure.
The Holy Maiden didn’t want to reveal her identity.
They understood.
“Uh, I just came to inform you that the Moon Grasping Pavilion has been surrounded by us, and all the people here are gathered in the main hall on the first floor. How should we deal with them?”
the Elder from the Carefree Palace asked.
“Could this be a secret stronghold of the Demon Sect?”
Xiao Yang put the small bottle away.
“Check them one by one, and if you find any remnants of the Demon Sect, defeat them on the spot!”
Hua Xiaofeng ordered.
“Yes…”
The two turned to leave.
Soon, shouts and various noises could be heard from the main hall on the first floor.
“Ugh, what bad luck!”
Luo Feng grumbled.
He never thought they were just checking out a brothel and ended up being ambushed by remnants of the Demon Sect.
Xiao Yang was curious too.
Was this brothel really the Demon Sect’s base in Nine Heavens City?
However, the outcome surprised Xiao Yang.
The Carefree Palace’s people searched the inn inside and out.
But they found no remnants of the Demon Sect.
They did find the Flower Demoness bound and still on the ground in one of the rooms.
This Flower Demoness, having been tied up for a day, was overjoyed to see someone come to rescue her.
It seems Mo Hongyue just tied her up and dressed in her clothes to impersonate her and kill Xiao Yang.
Mo Hongyue’s real target was always Xiao Yang.
After this incident with Mo Hongyue, Xiao Yang lost all interest.
“Let’s disperse!”
Xiao Yang said, turning into a streak of sword light and bursting out the window.
Everyone was stunned.
They never expected Xiao Yang to leave just like that.
Leaving behind Lin Wangchuan, Song Qiang, and Luo Feng, who exchanged glances with one another.
Hua Mengli also didn’t expect Xiao Yang to leave so abruptly.
Xiao Yang returned to the Carefree Inn.
At this point, the inn had already arranged another room for him.
The atmosphere in the Carefree Inn was definitely off.
A night passed in silence.
There were four days left until the Grand Tournament.
However, early the next morning, Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang came looking for him.
“What did you say? Junior Sister wants to marry Qin Fei? Today?”
Xiao Yang looked at the two incredulously.
“How is this possible!”
Xiao Yang, upon hearing that Junior Sister Jiang Ting was to marry Qin Fei, was still taken aback, but aside from shock, he had no other feelings.
“Qin Fei is a eunuch; how dare he marry my Junior Sister?”
Xiao Yang genuinely couldn’t comprehend.
Is Qin Fei trying to humiliate me?
But their marriage has nothing to do with me!
“Now I see!”
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Xiao Yang’s head. Qin Fei’s act of playing dead was to gain sympathy and trick Junior Sister Jiang Ting into consenting to marry him.
“Senior Brother, why don’t you just go and snatch her back?”
Lin Wangchuan suggested excitedly.
Snatching a bride? How exhilarating!
But Song Qiang furrowed his brows.
He had an inkling of Qin Fei’s intent.
Qin Fei wanted to irritate Xiao Yang.
Qin Fei wanted to provoke Xiao Yang again.
Qin Fei wanted to show Xiao Yang that he was far more important in Jiang Ting’s eyes than Xiao Yang.
Qin Fei wanted Xiao Yang to know that as long as he wanted it, even as a eunuch, Junior Sister would still marry him.
“Snatch a bride? That’s impossible!”
Xiao Yang chuckled.
But he absolutely wouldn’t let Qin Fei off easy.
He wants to marry my Junior Sister, huh?
Well, let’s see if the Master is willing to marry his precious daughter off to Qin Fei, the eunuch.
Xiao Yang immediately flew his sword back to send news of Jiang Ting and Qin Fei’s impending marriage back to the sect.
