Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Chapter 28

Ji Xian leaned out the window. He rest his elbows on the frame and cushioned his cheek with his right hand.

The East Solitude Inn was a distance away from the city gates. But even so, he was able to see everything clearly.

Towards the entrance into the city, a dozen people in white robes with swords tied to their backs jumped from their flying swords and landed gently on the ground. The aura they gave off was similar to a sheathed sword waiting to strike. These people are from the Grand Sword Sect.

They didn't immediately enter the city but rather stood around seemingly in wait for something.

Not long after, another group appeared in the distance.

"Look! It's the Arcane Mountain!" Someone shouted.

They flew across the sky without the use of any flying artifacts leaving behind a colorful beam of light.

So far, all the Factions that have made an appearance consisted of about a dozen people, but this group had only half of that number.

The moment they landed, the twelve Sword Cultivators greeted them.

The man leading the group respectfully cupped his hands towards a woman in a dark purple dress wearing a veil. The dress was fashioned conservatively but it had a slit, allowing one to see a porcelain smooth leg that leaves a lot to the imagination. Her black hair with strands of purple highlights was parted in the middle draping down to her waist. Even though her full appearance couldnt be seen, her straight brows, long lashes, and pitch-black eyes were enough to see she was kingdom toppling beauty.

What a surprise, I didn't think I would see the Dragon Saintess here since I heard you were in seclusion. Greetings Saintess Xiao Yueyin!

His words created a massive commotion.

Holy- the Dragon Saintess actually came!

Get out of the way! I want to see what she looks like!

Shes wearing a veil, you idiot!

"Shut up and move it!

Seeing the intense reaction, the young disciples behind Xiao Yueyin inwardly shook their heads.

A girl wearing a tight purple skirt with a matching upper garment with an image of two moving mountains on the back sighed, and muttered, This happens every time Elder Yueyin makes an appearance.

What did you expect, Da Yi? Honestly, Im a little jealous.

Next to her was a young lady who looked like a carbon copy of Da Yi, surprisingly, they were twins!

What are you jealous of, Da Mei? You have your own fan base at the mountain.

Thats right! Not to mention, I have more fans than you!

What! How dare you!

The two girls bickered with each other quietly, but still attracted a glance from Xiao Yueyin, immediately, they lowered their heads and stopped talking.

The man in charge of the Grand Sword Sect wearing a white robe laughed upon seeing this, "The famous twins of Arcane Mountain. Rumor has it that both of you are born with a special constitution. I will look forward to seeing your abilities.

Xiao Yueyin narrowed her eyes, and with a cold tone, asked, And where did you hear this rumor, Chang Wuli?

Her voice carried a hint of intimidation. The two girls were born in the Arcane Mountain and have been carefully nurtured. They have never left the mountain so this was considered their first public appearance, how was it possible for a rumor to circulate already? Not to mention the rumor involves their constitution! This was something that only a few people at the Arcane Mountain are aware of!

Chang Wuli sensed her tone, he cautiously said, It has been spreading around smaller cities for a while. The Grand Sword Sect has only recently come across it.

Xiao Yueyin was indifferent. Without another word, she stared at Chang Wuli until it started to make him uncomfortable before leading her sect disciples away and entering the city.

Seeing her leave, Chang Wuli breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped away a drop of sweat on his forehead.

Did I just offend her?

He bitterly shook his head and followed behind.

The moment Xiao Yueyin entered the city she sensed someone looking at her. She turned to look at a tall building far away. A figure was leaning against the window but before she can take a good look, that person had left.

Xiao Yueyin didn't think much of it and continued on her way.

I hear the Solitude Auction House is opening again before the start of the All Desolate Competition.

What? Already? This much be for the Factions who arrived late. Do you think they will auction another item from Empress Han Lan?

No way! Did you think they grow on trees? Besides, even if another item belonging to the Great Empress gets auctioned, do you think you can afford it? The last one was sold for a billion Essence Spirit Stones!

"Sigh... if only I was fortunate enough to find a ring with a grandpa.. maybe then there's a chance."

"What?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yueyin suddenly stopped. She approached the two men who were talking and said, Tell me more about this item from Empress Han Lan.

The two were caught off guard, they took a look at Xiao Yueyins robe and saw an image of two moving mountains on her sleeve. Their heart jumped and quickly greeted her.

A book that belonged to the Great Empress was auctioned at the Solitude Auction House a few days ago. One of them hastily said.

Was it confirmed that it belonged to the Empress?

Yes! The book was sent to the Arcane Mountain and they have confirmed it. They looked at Xiao Yueyin with a confused expressions.

Aren't these people from the Arcane Mountain? How come they dont know this?

Xiao Yueyin looked at the disciples behind her, she asked, Did any of you know about this?

The disciples looked at each other before shaking their heads.

Xiao Yueyin took out a small jade tablet and channeled her True Essence into it.

Not long after, a gruff voice sounded in her head.

Yueyin, what is it?

Master, why did you not tell me about the book belonging to Empress Han Lan?

You were in seclusion.

Then why didnt we just buy the book directly from Solitude Auction House? An item belonging to the Great Empress needs to be kept by the Arcane Mountain for safekeeping.

The book contained a formation, we couldn't remove it. But you're right, initially, we had planned to buy the book, but the Ancestor suddenly appeared. He said the book already has an owner and it was not meant for us, so we can only let the opportunity go.

Xiao Yueyin listened and appeared calm, but inwardly she was shocked. She had too many questions! She was just about to ask but was interrupted.

Yueyin, you do not need to worry, the Ancestor assured us the book is in good hands. I still have other matters to attend to. I will speak with you again when you return.

The communication cut off and she blankly stared at the jade tablet.

Elder Yueyin? Da Yi called out.

Xiao Yueyin shook her head. She turned to the two men she was talking to earlier and asked, Who bought the book that belonged to the Great Empress?

Im not sure.. but the people from the Ardent Yin Sect should know. Theyre staying at East Solitude Inn.
