Shennong Sequence

Chapter 397 Remaining Unmoved by a Woman's Approach? Go Home and Do It Again! The lower-class families are getting their hands on it.

Then King You overheard their conversation and interjected:

"I remember that Ji Daoyuan also carried a spatial treasure with him. It seems that in the Yuan Tai Weak Water, he could not only protect himself, but also gain another opportunity!"

"It's unknown where they were swept away by the vast flood, and when the subsequent cataclysmic cold completely froze the massive flood that stretched for millions of miles, they might be trapped deep beneath this icy plain, temporarily unable to escape..."

"Furthermore, this great flood, the Yuan Tai Weak Water, can isolate the secrets of heaven and cause and effect. Even if one wants to go in to search, it will be difficult to find... So let that kid be buried in this endless ice field for now. When the world recovers, that kid will naturally be able to come out."

"In addition, I have also communicated with his father and confirmed that the boy's soul lamp is still strong and bright, which confirms what I thought... Commander Tu does not need to blame himself for the boy's matter."

"Haha, so that kid is alright. Then I have nothing to worry about." Tu Tiansha suddenly laughed heartily.

Afterwards, the banquet continued, and King You took advantage of the opportunity he had just interrupted to introduce Zhao Yun to some of the people in the royal palace.

For example: Jia Leling, the strategist; Ma Zhi, the territorial general; and Ban Zhiben, a member of the Mohist school employed by the emperor…

But after introducing a lot of people, it seems like there aren't many at all?
Besides, it seems there's no princess?

Suddenly, Zhao Yun remembered something else:
King You's fiefdom was also located in the border region of Beiliang.

Since the northern border region was flooded, King You's fiefdom was naturally also flooded and frozen under the endless ice plains.

Therefore, King You has essentially moved all his possessions to Yanmen Pass, making him appear rather disheveled...

However, when the Netherworld King gave him the rare treasures, including the Yin Fire Origin, a top-tier spiritual essence, and the Golden Light Void-Breaking Escape Shuttle, he was quite generous!

It seems that not much was lost...

After Zhao Yun pondered this for a moment, the banquet continued.

Spiritual fruits, and even special spiritual dishes cooked from the flesh of various demonic beasts, were served one by one during the banquet.

In the middle of the performance, dancers performed graceful dances, their figures as beautiful as a green dragon wagging its tail, twisting their waists and swaying their hips, creating a unique and charming spectacle.

Many of the dancers even flirted with Zhao Yun, seemingly trying to seduce him, which made Zhao Yun a little wary.

Fortunately, the dancers didn't do anything outrageous, nor did they jump into his arms to pour him drinks or make merry.

This allowed him to remain unmoved by temptation.

After the wine had been drunk, the banquet came to an end.

However, King You was still worried about Zhao Yun traveling alone through Yanmen Pass, so he sent a team of guards, led by Commander Tu, to personally escort Zhao Yun back to the Longmen Inn, which had been completely booked by him and was staffed entirely by his men.

Inside the inn, after the hustle and bustle subsided, Zhao Yun returned to the plum blossom courtyard, where Xin Ruyin undressed him and they slept together in a tender embrace...

I slept for a long time and didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

This was not the fatigue from last night, but rather the exhaustion from fleeing for his life in the previous immortal war, crossing the Great Flood Yuan Tai Weak Water, and traversing the Great Ice Plain formed by the Cold of Annihilation. He had not had a proper rest for months!
Fortunately, cultivators are resilient like that. A short two or three days of quiet rest was enough to restore the mental fatigue that had lasted for months. "Young master, you've rested well, so get up. Many stewards from high-ranking officials' families have come to see you."

"Hmm~, what do you want from me this time?" Zhao Yun asked, somewhat puzzled, since he didn't have any good relationship with these nobles.

Furthermore, it was because Commander Wang of the Wuyang Garrison in Yanshan County had offended a group of nobles with his reckless actions in the county's horse market!

"I asked around, and it seems to be some families that sent their relatives into a small world of dragon beasts or a true dragon world, and none of them have returned since. They want to see if they can find any information about their relatives from you, young master, who brought many people back, and investigate the source of the destruction of the small world of dragon beasts."

"Didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't see any of these merchants? That's why I said earlier that you weren't at the inn, young master. But these people say they've already consulted a feng shui master to check your fortune, and that your official luck is still in the inn, so they just won't leave..."

That's so shameless!

Moreover, they dared to use the same methods on me, but they would never dare to use them on Grand Minister of Agriculture Jing, or even on King You and his ilk!
It's still a matter of insufficient strength.

As Zhao Yun thought this, his eyes lit up and he came up with a good way to divide them!

After all, these people have already been so presumptuous in observing him. If he doesn't retaliate, will they dare to tie him up next?

Moreover, Zhao Yun was naturally incompatible with these obviously impoverished nobles.

Of course, the military families and top clans that know the inside story of the explosion of the Dragon Beast Small World are an exception, because their financial power, strength and influence are too great, and they can still force Zhao Yun to urinate in the same chamber pot as them.

"Here's what you'll say: tell them that I only met with a representative from the strongest family among them. The rest of you, gather up the questions you want to ask, and then go home."

Xin Ruyin blinked, wondering if this was a bit too arrogant.
However, although our young master's cultivation level is a bit low, with two sixth-rank official positions, who would dare to say he is bad?

They were certainly not ordinary nobles, whom one could simply order around and see whenever desired...

There should be rules!

So when her young master became arrogant, she became arrogant too!

As expected, Xin Ruyin was rebuffed when she went out with a smile to deliver the message...

Zhao Yun and Jia Haoze, the illegitimate son of the Jia family who had just been summoned by the Seven Surnames and Ten Marquises, listened to the shouting coming from the entrance of the inn: "Brother Jia, please step forward and send them away."

"This matter is easy, but judging from the way these people are arguing with Miss Ruyin, it seems they're trying to find out from you which of your family members they lost or 'cruelly killed' in the Dragon Beast Small World, or even extort money from you because of your humble origins..."

Brother Zhao, yesterday's dissemination of information about the auction and the 200 top-grade spirit stones was too eye-catching, which has given these small-time merchants some ulterior motives!

"It's alright, let them curse. They'll be in trouble in a couple of days..."

Zhao Yun hadn't finished speaking yet, so what about Xin Ruyin's fortune?
We don't need these people hurling insults at each other to verify this.

All they need to do is prove it!
