Chapter 461 Tianhu Palace
Chapter 461 Tianhu Palace
Hu Yanzhi, standing by, saw both of them already moving, while she herself remained frozen in place like a wooden figure. Suddenly, she felt lost and bewildered. Her mind was in a turmoil, and she had no idea what to do. Seeing Li Xingyun and Yang Xiaoxiao bustling about, she felt incredibly anxious, eager to rush over and help.
But when it came time to take a step, she hesitated because she had no idea how she could help. Just as she was in a dilemma, Li Xingyun's voice suddenly came over: "Don't just stand there like an idiot, come over and massage my arm!"
To Hu Yanzhi, this cry was like the sound of nature. The heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She quickly walked over to Li Xingyun, squatted down, and obediently began to massage him.
However, just as Hu Yanzhi began to massage, something suddenly seemed to block the way. With a "Ling~~" sound, the carriage abruptly stopped. At the same time, Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, staring intently ahead through the carriage curtain.
"So strong! This aura is definitely from a powerful person in the Heavenly Dao Realm!" Ye Qingcheng exclaimed inwardly, and immediately became alert. She knew that anyone who could possess such a powerful aura was definitely not a good person.
At this moment, Ye Xian's voice came from outside the carriage: "Master! Wen Taiji is here!"
"Oh?" Li Xingyun perked up immediately after hearing that. Without saying a word, he climbed off Yang Xiaoxiao and Hu Yanzhi's bodies, not even taking the time to straighten his clothes before hurriedly heading out of the carriage.
"Wen Taiji? Who is he? What is the connection between him and the young master?" Ye Qingcheng pondered in her heart. She felt that countless mysteries were shrouding her heart like fog, making her confused.
Just then, she saw Li Xingyun stand up, seemingly preparing to leave the carriage. Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng immediately followed Li Xingyun and stood up. After all, given Li Xingyun's current level of cultivation, common sense would suggest he wouldn't have anything to do with a Heavenly Dao Realm expert. But this situation clearly defied common sense; something must be fishy when things aren't normal! Ye Qingcheng figured that by staying with Li Xingyun, she could at least guarantee his safety.
Li Xingyun stepped out of the carriage, followed closely by Ye Qingcheng. As soon as he stepped out, he saw a man standing not far in front of the carriage. He looked rather frail, giving off a frail vibe. However, his aura was incredibly sinister, giving people a chilling feeling.
This person was none other than Wen Taiji. He stood there steadily, his hands clasped behind his back. When he saw Li Xingyun emerge, he knelt respectfully on one knee without hesitation, bowed his head, and greeted, "I am Wen Taiji, your subordinate. I have been ordered by the Commander-in-Chief to protect Your Highness!"
Seeing this, Li Xingyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He raised his right hand slightly, motioning Wen Taiji to stand up, and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "No need to be polite!"
Ye Qingcheng, standing nearby, took in the entire scene. She stared at Wen Taiji's deferential attitude toward Li Xingyun, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. Her eyes gradually narrowed, revealing a hint of danger.
"A powerful person in the Heavenly Dao Realm actually approached the young master in such a secretive manner. What exactly does he want to do?" Ye Qingcheng pondered in her heart, and her vigilance towards Wen Taiji became stronger.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Upon seeing this, Wen Taiji hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed with a respectful attitude.
Seeing this, Li Xingyun just responded lightly without exchanging too much greetings with Wen Taiji. He turned around and got back into the carriage.
"Since we are here, let's go to the Sky Fox Palace together!" Li Xingyun's voice came from the carriage, simple and direct.
"Yes!" Wen Taiji responded quickly, and after nodding, his gaze involuntarily lingered on Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng naturally felt Wen Taiji's gaze, and her heart tightened. This man's cultivation was unfathomable. She could sense his strength, and she believed that he could also sense her abnormality.
"Is this the danger Yuan Tiangang mentioned?" Wen Taiji thought to himself. He mounted his horse and sat down beside Ye Xian, keeping a distance from Li Xingyun and the others. After all, Li Xingyun and the girls were already in the carriage, so he wouldn't barge in so rudely.
The carriage sped along the road, its wheels rolling and raising a cloud of dust. Three days passed in a flash, and for Ye Qingcheng, they felt like years. She dared not relax for even a moment, remaining vigilant and never closing her eyes. She was well aware of Wen Taiji's potential, and she had to be constantly on guard against him attempting to harm Li Xingyun.
Wen Taiji was in the same boat. His nerves were always tense, and he didn't dare to be careless. He knew that Ye Qingcheng had bad intentions towards Li Xingyun, so he had to keep an eye on her to prevent her from suddenly attacking Li Xingyun.
In stark contrast to the tension between these two people, the others, especially Li Xingyun, appeared exceptionally relaxed. Along the way, he either admired the scenery or chatted with his companions, completely unaffected by the tension between Ye Qingcheng and Wen Taiji.
"Young Master, we have arrived at the Sky Fox Palace. Should we go in directly?" Ye Xian asked softly.
Li Xingyun waved his hand and replied, "No need, let's go directly to the largest brothel in the city!" It was almost evening, and finding a place to stay was the top priority.
"Yes!" Ye Xian nodded, then turned his horse's head and headed towards the Wan Yao Tower in Tianhu City.
Wan Yao Lou, this brothel is not only the largest brothel in the Xixia Demon Kingdom, but also a powerful force. Its branches are spread throughout the empire, and Tianhu City, as the base of the Tianhu demon clan, naturally has its presence.
Li Xingyun and his group walked into a luxurious restaurant with familiarity, asked for a spacious and elegant private room, and prepared to enjoy a hearty meal. After all, they had been traveling for a long time, and during this time, no one had the chance to enjoy a good meal.
Once inside the private room, everyone took their seats and the waiter quickly brought out the exquisite dishes one after another. Faced with this table full of delicacies, everyone couldn't help but whet their appetites.
Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, Ye Qingcheng suddenly picked up a piece of plump oyster meat and said gently to Li Xingyun, "Young Master, have some oysters. They are very nutritious!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, which made people feel happy.
