Chapter 669 Everything happens for a reason
Lili rolled her dark, grape-like eyes and then spoke:

"Your Excellency, now that you've driven them away, do you think the Su family will still come after you?"

Yunxi smiled coldly:

“Since Su Miao has accepted the mission, he will definitely find a way to achieve his goal. After realizing that he cannot forcibly take me back, he will definitely come up with another idea. I will wait and see.”

Meanwhile, Su Miao, who was being discussed by Yunxi, was healing his injuries in a mountain cave. He had previously disregarded Wei Yunxi, this little girl, and even looked down on her, considering her a burden.

The reason is simple: the position of elder brother's Daoist partner should have belonged to Sheng Xia, and could only belong to Sheng Xia. However, not long after Sheng Xia's death, elder brother Su Jing brought a low-level female cultivator named Feng Jiayun back to the family. Later, because of Feng Jiayun's life-saving grace, he became her Daoist partner. Ten years later, Feng Jiayun became pregnant and gave birth to her nephew Su Zisheng.

The character "Sheng" in his nephew's name told him that his elder brother had not forgotten Sheng Xia, but was only remarrying for the sake of the family. Therefore, he disliked Feng Jiayun even more. However, this woman rarely contacted any of the Su family men except his elder brother, citing the need to avoid suspicion. This left him with no opportunity to vent his anger.

Not long ago, when his elder brother went into seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage, Feng Jiayun learned that the entire Weiyu Realm had ascended to immortality. That's when she sought out the Su family patriarch to request a meeting with her daughter, Wei Yunxi. After learning this, he deduced that the other party wanted to bring his biological daughter into the Su family to enjoy the Su family's protection and resources, which he naturally refused.

So he whispered something in his nephew Su Zisheng's ear, and luckily Su Zisheng was smart enough to pretend to have failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, thus delaying Feng Jiayun's progress. This led to his mission to leave the clan territory and "pick up" Wei Yunxi to the Su family to reunite with Feng Jiayun.

In fact, he never intended to pick her up. He deliberately provoked the woman's daughter so that he could seriously injure her and then tell Wei Yunxi that he was "taking" her back at Feng Jiayun's request, thus creating discord between the two.

He would tell Feng Jiayun when he returned to the Su family that Wei Yunxi didn't want to see her at all, but he completely abandoned these plans after his attempt to intimidate her back failed and he ended up hurting himself instead.

Putting aside the other party's strength, just based on their ruthlessness, if they were to learn the truth, they would probably turn the Su family upside down. So after much consideration, he decided to go back to the Su family and tell Feng Jiayun part of the truth.

It was true that Wei Yunxi was unwilling to go back to the Su family with him, and he wasn't exactly lying. He would then put some effort into Su Zisheng to completely dispel Feng Jiayun's idea of ​​recognizing her daughter.

So after stabilizing his injuries, Su Miao quickly embarked on his journey back to the Su family. Returning with injuries would be more convincing. However, he was unaware that Yun Xi had a habit of carrying a recording stone with her, so the stone he lifted ended up hitting his own foot.

The white jade earrings on Yunxi's ears were made from recording stones, which are equivalent to miniature cameras. Although the storage space is limited, they can record key information. Moreover, Yunxi has a bunch of similar earrings in her space, so even if she changes them, no one will notice.

Yunxi had already arrived in Songran City. It was unclear what day it was, but many cultivators were entering the city, and they were all in a hurry, with a hint of joy on their faces.

Yunxi, carrying Lili, paid the city entrance fee and followed the crowd into the city. She went to two inns but couldn't book a room. Finally, she managed to book a courtyard room at the largest inn in the city, "Xianke Ruyun," which was canceled, thus solving her accommodation problem.

The waiter respectfully led Yunxi to the small courtyard. Although it was called a small courtyard, it was still 200 square meters, and it had a separate spirit-gathering array, making it the courtyard with the most abundant spiritual energy.

Yunxi felt the spirit stone was well spent, so after the waiter opened the courtyard and respectfully handed her the jade key, she tossed him a mid-grade spirit stone, saying:

"I would like to ask you some questions. May I trouble you for a moment?"

The waiter was already familiar with this procedure, so after accepting the spirit stones, he respectfully replied:

"Please speak, esteemed guest. I will answer whatever I know."

Yunxi sat on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, stroking Lili's head as she asked:
"When I entered the city today, I noticed that all the cultivators coming and going had happy expressions on their faces, as if something good had happened. Even most of the inns were full. I wonder what the reason is?"

Upon hearing this question, the waiter immediately perked up and greeted him with a smile:

"Distinguished guest, the 'Dengyun Tower' will be staying in Chongran City for a while, which is why it has attracted so many cultivators."

"Dengyun Tower?" Yunxi was hearing this name for the first time.

"Yes, the cultivators of this Dengyun Tower are all handsome men and beautiful women, and each of them possesses unique skills. They are proficient in all kinds of arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Their expertise can also help cultivators break through to higher levels, which is why it is named 'Dengyun Tower'."

"Oh? Is it really that amazing?"

Yunxi was somewhat incredulous.

The waiter chuckled and lowered his voice, saying:

"Of course, if a cultivator can afford to pay with spirit stones and gains the favor of the cultivators of Dengyun Tower, and the other party is willing to spend time with them, then breaking through in cultivation is only a matter of time."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi understood. It turned out that Dengyun Tower was still following the path of the Hehuan Sect, but they knew how to package it and were very elegant, which was why they were so attractive and had not been rejected.

However, this is all a matter of mutual consent. Although she cannot accept it, she understands that not everyone's path of cultivation is smooth sailing, and sometimes external stimulation is indeed needed.

Seeing that Yunxi had no expression, the waiter continued:
"Our distinguished guests have come at a good time. Starting tomorrow, there will be performances at Dengyun Tower every night from 17 pm to 19 pm. If you would like to listen to music, you are welcome to join in the fun."

Yunxi indicated that she understood, but did not say whether she would go or not, and then changed the subject:

"I am new to Songran City and would like to inquire about some things. Do you have any information providers here?"

After thinking for a moment, the waiter said:

"In Songran City, there is a female cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm named Bingli. She is very well-informed. If you, esteemed guest, wish to inquire about anything, you may seek her out."

However, this female cultivator has a habit: if you want to inquire about something, you either have to pay spirit stones or tell her a piece of information she doesn't know in exchange. If she's satisfied, she'll tell you what you want to know, and she guarantees it's true.

This female cultivator has a rather eccentric personality; she doesn't always get the information she asks for. Some cultivators have even been turned away by her. So, some people say she does business entirely based on her mood. Plus, she's strong enough and has powerful backers, so nobody dares to mess with her. Over time, fewer people seek her out for information.

After listening, Yunxi found the female cultivator quite interesting and then asked:

Where can we find her?

The waiter scratched his head and said:

"I heard she's recently been pursuing Young Master Jin Xiu of Dengyun Tower."

"What are the special skills of this young master Jin Xiu?"

The waiter chuckled and said:

Does being good-looking count?

"Calculate."
