Although I've never been to Meizhuanlou, I did encounter Nanxian, one of the four wandering members of the Heluo clan, on the road.
—He told me about the Meizhuanlou restaurant.
"Huangfu Dengyun is the Unforgivable Lord."
"What?!" Xiao Xiami and Luo Yuanyu suddenly showed expressions of astonishment, as did Old Master Chen, who was unaware of the truth.
Although he knew very little about the Unforgivable Tower, he did know it was an organization of villains, and the leader of such an organization was actually the commander of the Western Sichuan Army?!
"Master, are you telling the truth?" Little Shrimp couldn't help but ask at this moment, which made the situation more complicated.
The Heluo Clan and the Unforgivable Tower are enemies because he joined forces with the Heluo Clan to fight against the Unforgivable Tower as soon as he arrived on this land.
The Heluo clan even sacrificed themselves to escape from the Unforgivable Tower, so the two are definitely in conflict.
Yet, it was the Unforgivable Lord who supported the opening of the Heluo Clan's gourmet restaurant...
"My intelligence is absolutely accurate. The Unforgiving Pavilion will use any method possible to obtain the Hetu Luoshu."
"The same applies to planting spies among the enemy. This way, even if your Heluo clan finds the Luoshu fragments, they will be ambushed and their spoils stolen."
“In that case, we need to notify Nan Xian and the others,” Xiao Xiami immediately made the decision, while Yang Xiying shook her head.
"No, little shrimp, I'm telling you this now so you'll pretend you don't know that the Unforgivable Pavilion Master is Huangfu Dengyun."
"Eh?"
"After all, I already said that the Unforgivable Pavilion will go to the Qingcheng Sect because you went to the Meizhuan Pavilion to report your situation."
"And that's highly likely, since I just killed Zhang Youchen, and that old emperor will definitely send troops to Xichuan to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"This is a very bad situation for the Unforgivable Tower, so their actions will definitely become more urgent."
"So if I notify the Four Scattered People in advance to be wary of Huangfu Dengyun, will it alert them?" Xiao Xiami also realized this, while Yang Xiying continued.
“That’s right, and you’re not afraid of the Unforgivable Tower attacking the Qingcheng Sect, are you? Not to mention I said I would help you wipe them out.”
"The Qingcheng Sect will also receive assistance from the Qingtian Village He Family Caravan."
"I understand. I will head to Meizhuanlou to report the situation without revealing Huangfu Dengyun's true identity."
The little shrimp nodded.
"So, young hero Xiaoxia, are you preparing to confront the Unforgivable Tower head-on?" Fan Xiangdie asked at this moment.
From that long conversation, she distilled this into one thing: the major forces in Shu joined forces with Xiaoxiami to fight against the Unforgivable Tower.
"Yes, that's about right," Xiao Xiami nodded upon hearing Fan Xiangdie's words, and then recounted some details.
—That is, what happened to the He family's caravan at Qingtian Village.
"So, can Sister Fan and Grandpa Chen lend me a hand?" Little Shrimp realized he had brought up a very important topic.
But Yang Xiying could disappear at any time, so he could only speak hastily, and he wouldn't treat Fan Xiangdie and Li Tan as outsiders.
Old Master Chen owes me and the Immortal a favor, so even if I don't give him face, I have to give the Immortal face.
—Well, with Yang Xiying there, Xiaoxiami is ready to win without lifting a finger.
“Our winery will join forces with the Qingcheng Sect to fight against the Unforgivable Tower, after all, I also have a score to settle with them,” Old Master Chen said.
He respected Huang Shang, and also respected Yan Baochuan, the former governor who died while investigating Huang Shang's family massacre. Both of them suffered because of the Unforgivable Tower.
“Since it’s the Unforgivable Tower, then our Charming Dream Pavilion can’t stand idly by,” Fan Xiangdie decided at that moment.
Now there are two more forces opposing the Unforgivable Tower. Oh, and two more young heroes, Li Tan and Qi Xiao'er.
"Alright, then I have nothing more to say. Old Master, prepare the wine, I'm packing it up to take home."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
After sorting things out, Yang Xiying took Old Master Chen's wine back to the front-line base, thus bringing the Yishifugui Winery incident to a close.
They should throw a party...
"Pfft—ha, as expected of a famous old cellar grain, this tastes really good."
At night, everyone gathered in the base's banquet hall, enjoying delicious food and wine, which made Suika Ibuki sigh with admiration.
"Yes, I have analyzed the components of the wine, and we can now enjoy this wine for a long time."
Yang Xiying nodded. She had said before that she would help Ibuki Suika brew wine, so naturally she would do it, which made Ibuki Suika smile.
"Ha, it's so great to have a friend like you, Xiao Yang! Cheers!"
"Okay, do it!"
“With the addition of Oni, Yang Xiying, you’ve become more and more extravagant when it comes to drinking,” Reimu Hakurei couldn’t help but say.
Yang Xiying has now become the second biggest drinker in their group.
“This also shows that I have grown, doesn’t it? At the beginning, I was still the little brother in the team who needed to be taken care of,” Yang Xiying smiled.
"Hey, so now you think you're the boss?" Marisa Kirisame, who hadn't shown up for a long time, couldn't help but tease.
"Since Zi said that my style of doing things in this other world determines your style of doing things, then I naturally have to act like a boss."
Although her skills weren't top-notch here, Yang Xiying wasn't intimidated and stood up to pour drinks for the girls who handed her their glasses.
"...By the way, how do you use this map of the ancient Kaiming Royal City?" At this moment, Reimu Hakurei started a new topic.
That was the map of the ancient Kaiming Royal City that Yang Xiying obtained at the Yishifugui Winery, which he claimed was a treasure map.
However, it's unclear how to use it, because what's drawn on it doesn't look like a map, and the text is also obscure and difficult for her to understand.
—You can only ask Yang Xiying.
"This is a blueprint left behind by the ancient Kaiming Royal City, a dynasty that once existed in this world."
"—With this, you can go to a place and obtain the secret treasure inherited by this ancient dynasty."
"Oh? When will we go?" Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame couldn't help but ask, as they were most excited about finding the secret treasure.
"Tomorrow night," Yang Xiying replied. "After all, we've been busy all day, and we still need to look for the treasure tonight."
"This life is far too fulfilling."
“Well, that makes sense. Everyone’s drunk, so it’s not easy for them to move around,” Reimu Hakurei agreed.
"But why at night?"
“Because that place is only open at night,” Yukari Yakumo said at this moment, while Reimu Hakurei’s expression turned strange.
"night?"
"Yes, it was the place I first discovered. After all, it was just a rocky canyon cave during the day, but it turned into a village at night."
Yukari Yakumo nodded in response.
"So even in a world with a time-travel setting, there are still such mysterious places?" Remilia couldn't help but ask.
“To be honest, I also want to study what the sanctuaries of this world are all about,” Patchouli said at this moment.
The sanctuary is a massive palace built by the emperors of this world, and its main function is to seal the spacetime rifts that exist in this world.
It can lead to a new world. Little Shrimp came here through the space-time rift in the Sanctuary, and there were no restrictions on combat power.
Yang Xiying's transmigration requires a certain level of strength; she must at least reach the level of Marisa.
“Once we have a firm foothold in this world, we will naturally have the opportunity to explore the Sanctuary,” Yang Xiying replied to Patchouli.
"Let's get back to the treasure hunting location we mentioned earlier. It's a really clever place, using a unique formation to make the village disappear."
"It will be revealed at night, so we need to go at night, although we can easily break through that illusion."
"But when visiting someone's home, you should be polite. The people there are all active at night because sunlight is harmful to them."
"Are they vampires?" Remilia couldn't help but ask. Wow, so there are vampires in Yan Country?
"There are actually some of our kind here?" Flandre also showed a surprised expression, while Yang Xiying shook her head.
"That's not the case. Their fear of sunlight is more likely an evolution from hundreds or thousands of years of living in the dark, and they are still human."
"Anyway, who wants to go out and explore with me next? The people living there have some understanding of people from another world."
"—And because they've been living in seclusion for so long, they don't care what kind of people we are."
"Emmmm——"
"...Speaking of which, would you say we're here to cause trouble?"
Looking at the other five people around her, Marisa Kirisame couldn't help but speak. This was the second night after the banquet.
Yang Xiying also arrived at a place related to the ancient Kaiming Royal City map, an area in Shu called the Ancient People's Relics.
And following him were Reimu Hakurei, Alice, Flandre, Patchouli, and himself, making three Yellow Warriors now!
As for why there are so many people... Reimu and herself are interested in the treasure, while Flandre just wants to come out and have fun.
Patchouli was dragged out by Remilia and Alice, because even she felt that Patchouli should walk around a bit to get some exercise.
Moreover, during this time she began to practice some mental techniques to strengthen her physique, so Alice was there to accompany Patchouli, but she also wanted to come out and see the world.
—So this is a team of six, which has exceeded the usual limit.
"Not really," Yang Xiying replied after thinking for a while, "after all, the other side used formations to conceal their tracks."
"This shows that they live a life of isolation from the world, and naturally they are xenophobic. You see, even the tigers inside sense that outsiders are approaching and are rushing towards us."
"Isn't it because we outnumber them that they think we're here to cause trouble?!" Upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, Kirisame Marisa immediately lost her composure, because there really was a tiger!
They were now at the entrance to the ruins, and a snow-white tiger was charging towards them along the stone path!
Om-! ! !
However, just as the girls were preparing to fight back, Yang Xiying raised her hand to signal them to stop, and then released an invisible pressure forward.
"Woo—!" The white tiger was immediately overwhelmed by the pressure and slowed down, stopping not far in front of Yang Xiying.
Her face displayed fear in a very human way, and she was covered in cold sweat. Yang Xiying slowly walked forward and raised her hands.
"Okay, good girl, good girl, let your brother touch you."
Subsequently, under Yang Xiying's seemingly reckless rubbing, the tiger completely calmed down, and the expression on its face turned into one of enjoyment.
Finally, it even rolled over, exposing its belly and making a comfortable sound, appearing completely unguarded, just like any other cat.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong... eh?" But this seemed a bit strange to others, and at that moment another person ran out from the stone path.
She was a lovely girl with silver-white hair styled in a very neat way, wearing a black and white cloth dress, and carrying a long sword on her back.
Her initially anxious expression turned into one of uncertainty as she watched the white tiger become relaxed and carefree in Yang Xiying's hands.
"Ouch..."
At this moment, the white tiger roared, and Yang Xiying released her hand to let him get up and walk towards the white-haired girl.
"...Did you calm Xiaoxue down? Thank you, who are you...?" The white-haired girl spoke up at this moment.
She made her own judgment based on the current situation. After all, the people who came did not have any hostile intentions, but it was still a concern that so many people came at once.
"We are traveling martial artists. My name is Yang Xiying. Your tiger is quite good; it has a keen sense of its surroundings."
Yang Xiying responded directly.
"Thank you for the compliment. According to the elder, Xiaoxue was originally a guardian beast of the clan and is particularly sensitive to danger."
"However, the danger doesn't refer to you, because the elders also said that things are quite chaotic outside," she quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding.
"Anyway, my name is Zhuansun Ning, and this tiger is Xue, who I've played with since I was a child. This is as a thank you for calming it down."
"This tiger-shaped pendant is for you, young hero," Zhuansun Ning said, walking over and handing Yang Xiying a jade pendant.
"Okay, I'll accept it. Also, could you please inform your family elders?" Yang Xiying continued after accepting the jade pendant.
"We have come to visit Taihua Gate."
"Visit Taihua Gate?" Zhuansun Ning looked surprised when she heard Yang Xiying say this, because she and her clansmen were isolated from the world.
Almost no one outside knows about my affairs.
“Yes, just tell the elder that we brought the map of the ancient Kaiming Royal City and came here according to the map’s instructions.”
—At this moment, Yang Xiying took out the map of the ancient Kaiming Royal City.
“I understand. Please wait here, young heroes,” Zhuansun Ning nodded, then led the white tiger deeper into the stone path.
