Chapter 1814 - 1106: Pirates, Iris Pavilion (Memories of Zhi Qiu and He’s Jade+)

Yang Feng trembled a little, unconsciously tugging at Yang Yi’s sleeve.

Yang Yi’s brows furrowed, his gaze sweeping over a thousand pirates...

At most, they’re at the Peak of Starfall...

The five people suddenly shouted, "I know who has money, that man, he has at least tens of millions on him!"

Upon hearing this, the pirates were astonished. Tens of millions? That’s a fortune of a Great Celestial Venerable.

How is it possible...

The people in the vehicle were also speechless; those five were clearly setting up that man in green clothing...

Sui Yi, however, was calm, as everyone’s eyes locked onto her, and the pirates didn’t care whether they believed it or not; they thought they’d know after killing him.

But she knew that these people’s arrival was not for robbery.

Jun Wuxie and the others thought Sui Yi would finally make a move, but...

It seemed unnecessary.

Sui Yi casually glanced at the dense forest below...

Buzz, arrows shot from below...

In the blink of an eye, they killed a group of pirates...

Before the pirates could react, beams of white light shot up...

It was the military.

And it wasn’t the City Defense Army, but a more elite force—the Xuan Army.

This Xuan Army squad was only a hundred people, but each had cultivation levels reaching Star Fall Level, swiftly annihilating the thousand pirates...

This dramatic turn of events left people amazed.

But they vaguely saw that the small general who killed the Peak of Starfall with one spear salute a man in soft armor; that man seemed to be a senior commander of the Xuan Army, with Xuan Ya Silver Pattern on his cuffs, and he was indifferent to the thousand pirates, merely scanning them with a light glance, landing in a cloud before turning to look at Sui Yi and the others...

The hundred people were under his watchful eye, and soon, he withdrew his gaze.

With a step, the man walked on.

The Xuan Army informed the nearby garrison, arranging new flying cables to pick people up...

Only then did everyone know this was entirely accidental; the Xuan Army was on a nearby mission and happened to encounter sky pirates boldly robbing the flying cable...

The path of cultivation is inherently full of surprises; a little bad luck and you might die; a little good luck and you might live.

This is the allure of cultivation.

Three days later.

Xuan Qian District.

As the flying cable descended, Yang Yi took the initiative to suggest exchanging communication numbers with Sui Yi; after parting, Jun Wuxie said, "These two have problems."

Qi Lian also seemed thoughtful, "The sky pirates clearly could have killed everyone directly... it seemed like they were looking for someone, if not for the Xuan Army, Yang Yi might not have been able to hold back... I think he is at least a Heavenly Venerate."

Sui Yi smiled lightly, her sleeve fluttering, "A Heavenly Venerate is useless... there’s a Great Celestial Venerable hidden in those clouds, if it weren’t for that Xuan Army commander... but he can escape the Great Celestial Venerable, yet cannot escape the Xuan Army commander... he’s already aware."

The two were surprised but increasingly felt the brothers had some notable background.

Perhaps Yang Yi also noticed Sui Yi’s significant background, so he proactively left his communication number...

Though in the end, Sui Yi didn’t give hers.

"That Xuan Army commander should be called Wind Domain..."

Jun Wuxie pointed to the Army Stele at the port.

The three paused their steps, the Army Stele standing tall, engraved with portraits and names and positions of the commanding officers, with Xuan Army on the left and Ya Army on the right. The Xuan Army was responsible for regional security, while the Ya Army was a secret unit, always allocated by the Yazu to ensure the safety of the Ya Palace...

Sui Yi’s gaze swept over and found an officer on the Ya Army side she knew...

Zhi Yun.

She was a Heavenly Venerate, but ranked higher than Wind Domain of the Great Celestial Venerable Level—she was a trusted confidant of the Yazu.

That’s a top secretary.

Sui Yi pondered, glancing at the Army Stele, before merging with Jun Wuxie into that bustling crowd.

The hustle and bustle of Xuan Qian surprised the trio, barely leaving the port before seeing lights and decorations everywhere...

The architecture here was very ancient, quite grand, row upon row, manor houses, pavilions, and water gardens...

"Only ten days until the Seven-night festival..."

"The Imperial Family is hosting a marriage event..."

A glance around and you could see many handsome scholars and cultivation masters appearing at the port.

Xuan Qian is the stationing place of the Imperial Court; although nominally under Ya Palace jurisdiction, the relationship between the Imperial Court and Ya Palace seemed to be—the Imperial Court is a symbol, a symbol of faith for the Human Race, but Ya Palace and the Supreme are the true rulers, just like the relationship between the United Kingdom’s royal family and its government.

"Today’s Imperial Family is not the Imperial Family of the past... back then... even if we had the Witch Spirit Court, the Jun Family monopolized the government..."

This was Qi Lian’s thought, but looking at Sui Yi, then at Jun Wuxie, it was clear this comment wasn’t right.

Although these two surely thought the same thing.

Past events have become like smoke.

"I think we might have to stay in Xuan Qian for quite some time, and teacher’s friends may come too... I’ll go buy a manor."

Jun Wuxie was quite like Ye Zixu, appearing cold on the surface but warm and considerate inside; at least for Sui Yi and Qi Lian, they were joyed to do so.

Jun Wuxie left.

Sui Yi and Qi Lian discovered the environment of Xuan Ya differed from other cities; how to say it—perhaps the dining industry thrived.

When Sui Yi saw pastry shops and beverage stores...

Unlike other worlds or city environments, if you want to drink something, there are only teahouses or taverns...

Here, there are also sweet shops...

Feels like I’ve learned something new.

Actually, Qi Lian was a bit embarrassed too.

"I’ve heard all this city planning is overseen by that Ji Si... Teacher, I vaguely feel... this Ji Si..."

"Greedy for both money and food?"

"Yes."

Sui Yi laughed. Well, she actually thought so too.

Beside Sui Yi, the usually cool and elegant Lady Qi Lian seemed quite cute and bashfully said, um... can we have some desserts?

Then they sat at a window seat on the second floor, ordering several different kinds of ice dishes and desserts...

Most importantly, Sui Yi even saw durian ice cream.

She: "....."

Could Jun Wuxie predict the future? With such culinary culture, Gong Jiu and these people would definitely settle in Xuan Ya...

Right, perhaps they will all settle here in the future.

Because Sui Yi thought that regardless of the final outcome, Gong Jiu and the others are Human Race; they won’t go to the Dimensional Realm or other places.

The Three Realms Origin, the Human Race’s main base, is the most likely place for them to put down roots, and comparing it to other cities... Xuan Ya is the most suitable.

Of course, Earth is also indispensable, but in the future, teleporting between the two places won’t be difficult... as long as she returns to the peak...

— If she hadn’t offended the Yazu and become foes, Xuan Ya is actually a good place.

So...

Sui Yi took a spoon, tasted a bit, and found it quite good since she hadn’t had it for many years since leaving Earth.

The two chatted while eating, watching the bustling streets outside...

"The nobles here are much more than in other places."

Qi Lian was used to the grandeur, having seen the foundations of noble families during celestial rituals and worships in the past, stunning the universe. She’s gotten used to it, but suddenly seeing such prosperity and noble families in Xuan Ya made her a bit dazed.

"Because of the Imperial Court, perhaps."

"The Crown..."

Sui Yi looked at Qi Lian, "Thought I would be sad?"

Qi Lian shook her head but said something Sui Yi had never considered before.

"It’s me... we feel ashamed."

Qi Lian stirred her spoon gently, "Although we are Wizards of the Witch Spirit Court, many were transformed into the Wizard Tribe with your Witch Blood, just as you said, our roots are Human Race... You’ve never cared about people’s origins when selecting them, whether orphans from humble backgrounds or nobles, even Foreign Race, you don’t mind. We’ve stayed long in the Witch Spirit Court and gradually forgot our origins, but after that incident... the Human Race betrayed you... In our anger, we suddenly realized we are also Human Race... Hence the shame.. Even now.. That’s why the senior brothers and sisters particularly resent the Human Race..."

The Human Race’s betrayal of the High Priest was a betrayal of them as well.

The Human Race’s inherent defects make them feel shame.

Sui Yi gently stirred the lime juice in her cup, saying slowly, "But I think you all are great."

Qi Lian was taken aback.

Looked up at the gentle brows of the High Priest with Crown.

Without a trace of melancholy, only brightness comparable to the sun and moon.

"Regardless of the past or present, I like you all."

Qi Lian: "....."

The Crown, no wonder you can attract so many beauties...

In such a melancholic and somber atmosphere, you changed the tone in just two sentences...

Jun Wuxie returned to see his wife’s blushing face and smiling eyes..

Well, actually it’s still not right to put the wife together with the Crown.

"The place is chosen... Named Iris Pavilion... Located at..."

When Sui Yi truly arrived at Iris Valley, she found the geographical location excellent, and the interior was vast, covering a thousand acres.. backed against Langshan, with beautiful scenery, and more than twenty separate buildings inside. This wasn’t just an estate, it was simply....

She was somewhat surprised, such an estate in Xuan Ya’s core prosperous area must be priceless.

Jun Wuxie remained calm, "The Crown mustn’t live in a poor place; if to live, then live in a good one... As for the cost, thirty million Boundary Currency."

Ugh... Comparable to her previous highest assets.

Jun Wuxie, this guy...

Qi Lian turned to him, "How come you’re so rich?"

Jun Wuxie: "Family inheritance."

Qi Lian: "You seem to never told me."

Jun Wuxie: "On the wedding day, I gave you the ring, just you never looked."

Qi Lian: "Uh, okay, give me back the ring."

Jun Wuxie: "Uh, it’s all yours."

Sui Yi: How’s the dog food, enjoyable?

————————

Since Jun Wuxie is so wealthy and generous, Sui Yi gladly agreed to live in such a good house.

After settling down, Sui Yi chose a pavilion by the lake, settled in, slightly organized things, and contacted Gu Sansi and the others to brief them on the situation. When mentioning the durian ice cream, several people expressed they’d come soon, but there were also those who were different.
