Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly stopped his footsteps. He thought: “I cannot go up recklessly. The world is dangerous. Wouldn’t I be walking into the trap if they were enemies waiting for me?”
While he hesitated, a bamboo window opened on the top floor of the White Cloud Building. A head extended out and that person waved at Qin Wushuang: “Young Master Qin, here.”
This words came from a somewhat sweet and cute voice, it was Little Bamboo the maid of Miss Mu Rong. Feeling reassured. Qin Wushuang walked up.
The White Cloud Building was the tallest restaurant in the imperial capital. By arranging a feast on the top floor, not only would they have a complete view of the entire imperial capital, they could also enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Bao Bao stood on Qin Wushuang’s shoulder. On the other hand, the Purple Electric Beast was rather depressed as he could only stay inside Qin Wushuang’s storage sack.
Bao Bao was also strangely excited when he heard the voice calling. In a whoosh, he scrambled up. He did not take the stairs and just kept climbing along the walls.
Qin Wushuang shook his head with a smile and followed him by the stairs. When he reached the top stair, Little Bamboo was already waiting by the door. When she saw Qin Wushuang, she sized him up from head to toe: “Young Master Qin, is this what you truly look like?”
Qin Wushuang nodded and said: “Miss Little Bamboo, I trust you have been well since last we met.”
Little Bamboo chuckled: “I am well, but perhaps not my Miss.”
“What happened to Miss Mu Rong? Is she sick, because of all the travelling?” Qin Wushuang asked with care.
“Ha ha, my Miss has a strong body, how could she be sick.” Little Bamboo chuckled, “For her, she has some mental illness. She loves to care for things she should not have.”
From the inside, Miss Mu Rogn berated her lightly: “Bamboo, you just love to talk. Hurry and let Young Master Qin in.”
Little Bamboo laughed: “Alright. But Miss, Young Master Qin looked much more refreshing after taking the mask off. You better be prepared.”
She opened the door and showed a gesture: “Young Master Qin, go in.”
Qin Wushuang nodded with a smile and walked in.
This place seemed to be like a balcony or a private compartment. It was extremely open and suitable to enjoying the scenery at this height. Miss Mu Rong stood by the rail and nodded with a smile when she saw Qin Wushuang. She looked at Qin Wushuang a few more times and smiled: “Young Master Qin, please forgive me for recklessly inviting you here.”
Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh: “Please don’t say that. Regarding this matter, I am more terrified. On that day back in the Nine Raven Temple, it was not polite of me to hide my true appearance. Today, since you already know my identity, I must apologize.”
Miss Mu Rong said with a smile: “Young Master Qin, you had your own worries back then. There’s no need to feel guilty. Please take a seat.”
After Qin Wushuang took a seat, Little Bamboo went up to pour the drinks. Just as she finished pouring the drinks, a little fluffy animal rustled out. He grabbed the cup and drank it all.
Stunned, Little Bamboo was about to smack him. Naturally, this little fluffy guy was Bao Bao. He made a mischievous face happily and extended the cup to Little Bamboo gesturing to her to pour another one.
“Little Bamboo, don’t be disrespectful. This is Young Master Qin’s spiritual beast.” Miss Mu Rong said in a light voice.
Qin Wushuang said: “Bao Bao, don’t scare the beautiful ladies.”
Bao Bao chuckled: “Boss Wushuang, how come you guys didn’t prepare a cup for me?”
Little Bamboo berated: ” You monkey, how dare you imitate a human to drink.”
Bao Bao had a gentle personality and he did not get angry. Instead, he argued: “Who said that a monkey cannot drink? The drinks at my Monkey King Mountain is a hundred times better than this place.”
Stunned, Miss Mu Rong realized something: “So you are Bao Bao!”
Bao Bao was proud: “Yes, I am Bao Bao. Beautiful Sister also recognizes me? Oh! Right, Boss Wushuang calls you Miss Mu Rong, could it be…”
Miss Mu Rong smiled lightly: “Yes, my surname is Mu Rong. I also went to the Dispersed Praying Mountain and met with Silver Monkey King. He said that you went to the human world to gain some experience.”
Bao Bao laughed: “This way, we are all friends. All the more reason you guys should treat me to some drinks.”
Miss Mu Rong nodded: “Little Bamboo, prepare a cup for Bao Bao.”
Little Bamboo mumbled: “It’s so strange that a monkey also drinks.”
Despite her words, she did not dare to defy Miss Mu Rong and grabbed a cup for Bao Bao and filled it. Bao Bao grabbed it and drank it all. He smacked his lips: “More, more! This alcohol is much stronger than the monkey clan drinks. I love it, its got strength and vigor, ha ha.”
Feeling helpless, Little Bamboo could only pour another one.
Miss Mu Rong said: “Young Master Qin, back in the Nine Raven imperial capital, it’s rare that you could recognize the beautiful zither sound. Thus, I came to view you as an intimate friend. Today I have come to inform you of a serious matter.”
Qin Wushuang immediately turned serious: “Please condescend to teach me.”
Miss Mu Rong said: “I don’t dare to teach you. I only heard that the Nine Palace had invaded the Stargaze and this matter had spread across the entire human countries. I must ask, did the people of the Nine Palace already come?”
Qin Wushuang nodded as he did not hide it: “They did.”
Hearing his answer, Miss Mu Rong showed a worried look: “They already came? What happened?”
Since Qin Wushuang knew that Miss Mu Rong was a guest from the Xuan Yuan Mound, he did not conceal anything as he said: “For now, the crisis of the Stargaze Palace has been averted.”
Suddenly, Bao Bao caught onto their conversation: “Miss Mu Rong, the vicious Nine Palace got kicked by us. Ha ha, everyone said that the Nine Palace was mighty. However, they got defeated completely by us. Besides Zuo Tianci, we have destroyed everyone else.”
A strange look appeared on Miss Mu Rong’s beautiful face: “The Nine Palace had suffered such heavy loss, how come no such news has spread to the outside world?”
Qin Wushuang said in a low voice: “Perhaps, Zuo Tianci did not want people to know yet. And the Stargaze Palace has no plans to announce the news of the Nine Palace’s defeat yet. Thus, although there are a lot of rumors in the outside world, they are mostly fake ones and trying to catch a glimpse of the truth.”
“Since Zuo Tianci is not dead, it make everything easier.” There was a trace of seriousness in Miss Mu Rong’s tone, “Young Master Qin, that Zuo Tianci is related to a major powerhouse in the Xuan Yuan Mound. This powerhouse is one of the peak in the entire Xuan Yuan Mound. Thus, it’s good that you did not kill Zuo Tianci. if you did, this would complicate the matter.”
Qin Wushuang had heard more than once about how Zuo Tianci had ties to the Xuan Yuan Mound. Zhao Heng’s grandson has spoken about it, Li Buyi as well. Now, since Miss Mu Rong had also mentioned it, it seemed to be true.
Immediately, he asked: “Miss Mu Rong, just which powerhouse is that Zuo Tianci’s support.”
“That powerhouse is named the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. In the Xuan Yuan Mound, although they are a second-rated powerhouse, they can also call the rain and summon the wind. They possess extreme power.”
“Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect…” Finally, Qin Wushuang had learned the name of this powerhouse.
Miss Mu Rong nodded and felt slightly stirred inwardly. Initially, she did not wish to mention this name. It was because she despised this name greatly.
“Just how powerful is this Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect?” Qin Wushuang could not help but ask.
Miss Mu Rong said with a smile: “It’s hard to describe their exact strength. In the future, if you have the opportunity to enter the Xuan Yuan Mound, you will know more.”
Qin Wushuang nodded: “I still need your advice. I must ask, what is the position that Zuo Tianci holds within the Sect.”
Miss Mu Rong said: “There are three major families in the Sect. The first one is Luo, the second and third one are Tian and Zuo respectively. Although Zuo Tianci is only an offspring of the Zuo family, he is a nephew to one of the Elders in the Luo family. Thus, although Zuo Tianci is only average in the Sect and holds a mediocre position, for sure the Sect is going to pursue this matter if something were to happen to him. After all, the Nine Palace Faction is a representative of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect established in the human countries.”
Finally, Qin Wushuang had a complete understanding.
Suddenly, Bao Bao said: “Miss Mu Rong, despite the powerful Sect, are they on par with the Xuan Yuan clan?”
Miss Mu Rong smiled bitterly: “Bao Bao, in the Xuan Yuan mound, who can be as powerful as the Xuan Yuan clan? I am afraid that across the entire Tian Xuan land, only a few is on par with the Xuan Yuan clan. Most likely no one would dare to brag about being more powerful than the Xuan Yuan clan.”
Bao Bao said: “That’s great! As long as they are not the Xuan Yuan clan, we don’t need to be scared. We cannot offend the Xuan Yuan clan since they are the descendants of the Divine Clan. So what if the Luo Sect is powerful. Since they are going to bully Boss Wushuang, I will fight them to the end !”
As Bao Bao said, he grabbed a plate of peanuts before him and with one hand he held the plate, and the other hand to shovel the peanuts into his mouth. With a cackling sound, he started to chew. His face did not show the least bit of concern.
Little Bamboo also became amused by his eating manners as she said: “This little thing is speaking big words. Miss…”
Miss Mu Rong stopped Little Bamboo’s words with her eyes and said: “Bao Bao, in the future if you have awakened the complete bloodline of the ancient spiritual monkey, indeed, you don’t need to be afraid of the Luo Sect. They would only fear you. However, it would be best to not become enemies with them.”
Bao Bao didn’t care: “I am not scared of them.”
Miss Mu Rong nodded and suddenly, she asked: “Young Master Qin, I have a question and I don’t know if I can ask.”
“Please ask.”
“Yes.” After a moment of silence, Miss Mu Rong asked, “I am curious, is your ancestral hometown from the Great Luo Empire?”
Just as Qin Wushuang was about to nod in affirmation, suddenly, he remembered that time when he had returned from Green Jade Mountain to the Qin manor, his father had mentioned to him secret information about the Qin family. He had said that there was a Qin headquarter in some mysterious place.
At that time, Qin Wushuang did not keep it in mind. Now, hearing Miss Mu Rong’s question, he could not help but wonder.
“Miss Mu Rong, why do you ask? The surname Qin is quite common in the human countries. As for the origin, it’s not easy to verify.”
Miss Mu Rong sighed lightly: “Regarding the Qin family, there is also a Qin family in the Xuan Yuan Mound. That Qin clan is extraordinary. They are more powerful than the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.”
Hearing her words, Qin Wushuang’s heart raced. The Xuan Yuan Mound also had a Qin clan. This was a good sign. Invisibly, it had matched with his father’s secret ancestral instructions.
Qin Wushuang could not help but ponder it some more: “Could it be that place mentioned in the ancestral instruction is the Xuan Yuan Mound? If that’s the case, why did the Qin people from the Xuan Yuan Mound establish a home in the Bai Yue Country?”
Many questions continued to emerge in his mind.
