A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Seeing the strange expressions on the three people's faces, Xu Qingyan asked in confusion.

"Master, what's with that expression?"

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Could it be... that the investigation has yielded some results?"

Ye Yun nodded slightly in response.

"I guess so..."

He briefly recounted their experience at Fairy Garden and the information they had gathered.

After hearing this, Xu Qingyan was stunned for a moment.

"Judging from this, could that Senior Yunxiao be investigating the Ascension Sect cultivators in the Wutong Mountains?"

Luo Meng, who was standing next to her, frowned and said.

"But we can't rule out the possibility that she went there to discuss cooperation with the Ascension Sect."

Logically speaking, given Empress Yunxiao's strength...

If it is roughly confirmed, the headquarters of the Ascension Sect is located in the Wutong Mountains.

And if you go there yourself, you'll definitely find it.

However, the two seemed to coexist peacefully throughout the year, which was rather strange.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

"In that case, things become a bit confusing."

Even Yue Rushuang is now somewhat uncertain.

However, silence filled the room.

After exchanging glances, Yue Rushuang asked Ye Yun.

"Ye Yun, are we still going?"

"Let me think about it..."

Ye Yun frowned, lost in thought.

But before I knew it, the whole night had passed.

According to him, everyone should go back and rest first, think about the next steps tonight, and make a decision tomorrow.

As the leader of this operation, it's understandable that he would be cautious.

However, the next morning...

Before Ye Yun could figure out what to do...

The arrival of some uninvited guests left them with no choice.

That morning, the group got up and planned to have a short meeting.

Suddenly, there was another clear knock on the door.

Hearing this commotion, Ye Yun frowned and asked a question.

"What is it?"

Immediately afterwards, the waiter's hurried voice came from outside the door.

"Distinguished guests, someone from the City Lord's Mansion has come to see you!"

No wonder they were knocking so urgently.

For the residents of Cloud City

The people of the City Lord's Mansion symbolize the authority and will of the City Lord.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and the other three couldn't help but change their expressions.

People from the City Lord's Mansion?

Could it be that their whereabouts have been exposed?

The four exchanged glances, seemingly considering what to do.

"Should we retreat first?"

Luo Meng looked at Ye Yun and asked.

From what I can tell, the people coming from the doorway aren't very strong.

If they want to leave, the other party can't stop them.

"Leaving is definitely not an option; that would be like trying to hide something obvious."

Ye Yun shook his head and took a deep breath.

"I think we should ask about the situation first."

Yue Rushuang also agreed with this.

"I think so too. We should find out what's going on first."

They had all made their decisions, and Luo Meng had nothing to say but nod in agreement.

As for Xu Qingyan, her master's words were her guiding principles.

Ye Yun quickly replied.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Upon opening the door, several cultivators dressed in fine clothes stood at the entrance.

The waiter looked terrified.

It seemed as if they were afraid that Ye Yun and the others had offended the City Lord's Mansion because of something.

After all, being approached by cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion is usually not a good thing.

Ye Yun sized up the newcomers. Their cultivation levels weren't too high; they were all at the Yuanling or Huadan realms.

From this perspective, the City Lord's Mansion is at least not looking to cause them trouble.

Otherwise, these few people wouldn't be enough.

Therefore, Ye Yun asked rather calmly.

"What brings you here?"

The leader stepped forward and bowed to Ye Yun.

"I have been ordered by the city lord to invite you to the manor for a chat."

This statement was both unexpected and reasonable.

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise.

"You mean... the city lord specifically requested that I go there?"

The white-robed cultivator at the head nodded.

"Indeed, the city lord sent us here to find a young male cultivator, and you are the one for us."

At this moment, Yue Rushuang, who was standing nearby, interjected with a question.

"Did the City Lord say why he sought us out?"

When this matter was mentioned, the white-robed cultivator paused, then shook his head.

"This... the city lord didn't give any details, only saying that there were important matters to discuss."

This answer is rather puzzling.

Ye Yun especially thought that the other party had discovered his identity.

Or is it because what happened at Fairy Garden yesterday reached their ears?

While he was pondering, Luo Meng asked another question.

"Did the city lord say whether he was to go alone, or... whether we would go together?"

Compared to other things, what she cared about most was Yue Rushuang's problem.

Everything else is secondary.

The white-robed cultivator slowly explained.

"The city lord means that you can all go together, or only one of you can go."

Obviously, if only one person goes, then Ye Yun will have to go alone.

Hearing his explanation, Luo Meng finally relaxed a little.

These generous conditions, for the time being, do not seem to indicate that we are going to be their enemy.

Then, everyone's gaze fell on Ye Yun, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Could we... perhaps discuss this privately?"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then smiled and explained to the white-robed cultivator.

"After all, it came so suddenly, we were completely unprepared."

"It's okay, it's your right."

The white-robed cultivator nodded slightly, without insisting that they leave immediately.

Then, as if remembering something, he handed something over.

"By the way, take a look at this."

Ye Yun saw him hand over something and took it with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? What's this?"

At the same time, the white-robed monk explained it to him.

"The city lord said that if you are still hesitant, he will show you this item."

Just then, Ye Yun also saw clearly what he was handing over.

Immediately, the expression on his face underwent a subtle change.

Without a doubt, he immediately recognized where the thing came from.

"I see."

Ye Yun took a deep breath and looked at the white-robed cultivator in front of him.

"Could you please wait outside for a moment? We'll discuss it and give you an answer shortly."

The white-robed cultivator nodded and smiled faintly.

"sure."

After saying that, he gave instructions to the people around him.

"Let's go wait outside."

Before long, the white-robed monk led his men downstairs to wait.

Immediately, Ye Yun closed the door and glanced at Luo Meng.

The latter immediately understood and set up a soundproof barrier in the room.

At this moment, Yue Rushuang noticed the change in Ye Yun's expression and immediately asked curiously.

"Ye Yun, what did he just give you?"

The fact that it made Ye Yun's expression change drastically upon seeing it suggests that it was no ordinary item.

At this moment, Ye Yun held the jade pendant in his hand and took a deep breath.

"This jade pendant is the identification token of the leader of our ancient holy land's envoy team this time."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three women changed slightly.

That Lord of Cloud City certainly wouldn't have taken the token from the envoy of the Ancient Holy Land without a reason.

Bringing him here now only means one thing: they've discovered Ye Yun's existence.

The only thing she wasn't entirely sure about was whether she knew that "Ye Yun" had arrived.

Or perhaps they simply know that he is also a cultivator from the Ancient Holy Land.

The truth can only be found out by meeting that senior.

"..."

The group remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Luo Meng frowned and asked.

"Kid, what are your plans after this?"

They had originally planned to finalize the matter that morning.

However, their plans were interrupted by the sudden arrival of cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion.

Feeling the gazes of the three women, Ye Yun pondered for a long time before finally taking a deep breath and speaking.

My thought is, go!

Upon hearing this, Luo Meng frowned.

"Have you thought this through? If you go to the city lord's mansion, it's like going to his home turf."

"If we encounter danger, even if we have the Holy Lord's teleportation scroll, it might be useless."

While teleportation scrolls are powerful, their drawbacks are also quite obvious.

When facing an opponent who is too powerful, they will not be given a chance to use their abilities.

Even so, Ye Yun remained steadfast.

"I feel that we have to face it eventually."

"Besides, she sent only a few people to invite me, so she probably didn't mean to make things difficult for me."

"Otherwise, wouldn't that be like alerting the enemy?"

Looking around the city lord's mansion, there must be quite a few extraordinary cultivators, and even Dao-building experts.

If they wanted to target them, they wouldn't have only hired a few people.

Yue Rushuang also offered a guess on this point.

"I also think that... this might be the sincerity that city lord is showing."

Under the current circumstances, we should send cultivators who can build or even control the Dao.

The experience of coming to the Hepai Dan realm and to the Yuanling cultivators is completely different.

The former is more imposing, giving the impression that there is no room for doubt.

The latter approach essentially gives them the choice.

The two explanations made Luo Meng ponder for a moment, and she seemed to think they made some sense.

"Alright... if you really feel that way, then you can go and meet her."

Ye Yun nodded and gave instructions to the three women.

"Then, you'll wait for me here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Rushuang immediately spoke up.

"No way! I want to go too!"

"But……"

"No buts."

Yue Rushuang stared at him, her face serious.

"I can't just watch you go to a dangerous place alone."

Seeing this, Ye Yun understood that it would be difficult to persuade the other party.

So he had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, let's go together then."

But with Yue Rushuang gone, Luo Meng, who was standing nearby, naturally couldn't sit still any longer.

"If Your Highness goes, I must go with you."

Well, what started as a solo trip has suddenly become a trip for three.

Ye Yun had no choice but to agree.

As for Xu Qingyan, she naturally wanted to go too.

"Master, I..."

"You shouldn't go."

Ye Yun waved his hand, immediately interrupting her.

He then took out a scroll.

"Qingyan, you stay here and guard the place. If we haven't returned by midnight, we'll either send you a message or..."

"You should open it right away."

Looking at the familiar teleportation scroll in her hand, Xu Qingyan immediately understood what he meant.

She immediately accepted it and said seriously.

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing this, Luo Meng joked.

"Kid, I thought you weren't worried about your safety."

Ye Yun shrugged.

"How could that be? Adventure is adventure, but I value my life more than anything."

Without a doubt, Xu Qingyan was a backup plan he had set aside.

Even if the Cloud Empress were to suddenly launch an attack, she probably wouldn't kill them outright.

In this way, if Xu Qingyan activates the teleportation scroll in time, she might just be able to save their lives.

Of course, this is undoubtedly the worst-case scenario...
