Chapter 517: Chapter 516: Main City Messenger

Qin Ya’s popularity in Qingkong City had far exceeded his own imagination. Left with no other choice, he donned a mask to hide his face. While a mask like this couldn’t block Divine Thought, who would bother probing him for no reason?

Bi Xiaoyu also found a veil to wear.

"Young Master Qin, what do you plan to do with these?"

Suddenly, Bi Xiaoyu tugged on Qin Ya’s sleeve, shaking the stack of love letters in her hand. A playful smile touched her lips.

Qin Ya shook his head in resignation. "Do whatever you want with them."

He then glanced around. Seeing that no one was paying him any mind, he relaxed and strode toward the nearby Tingchao Pavilion. At the sight of this, Bi Xiaoyu pouted, then with a jolt of her True Essence, disintegrated the envelopes in her hand.

Upon entering Tingchao Pavilion, he was greeted by the same lively scene of song and dance. The charming Pavilion Master immediately approached. She seemed puzzled to see Qin Ya in a mask, but after studying him for a moment, a peculiar glint appeared in her eyes. A smile touched her lips as she said, "Well now, if it isn’t our esteemed Depu—"

’This is bad...’

"Where did this kid come from, daring to make a move on the Pavilion Master?"

"The man has a death wish. You know, a few years ago, some young master coveted the Pavilion Master’s beauty and tried to force himself on her. I heard he had his manhood crushed for it."

"Tsk tsk, a true rose with thorns."

"Then again, the Pavilion Master’s charm is something no ordinary woman can compare to. That figure, that seductive allure... you can’t blame the kid for losing control."

Just as the crowd was waiting for Qin Ya to meet his doom, they saw their Pavilion Master remain completely still, allowing Qin Ya to hold her tightly. She even spun around, pulling him into her own embrace.

Seeing this, the crowd’s eyes went wide with disbelief. Someone blurted out, "Heavens, what’s going on today? Am I dreaming?"

They were consumed with envy and jealousy for the young man in the Pavilion Master’s arms. What had this guy possibly done to deserve the Pavilion Master’s favor?

"Pavilion Master, just how long are you planning to hold me?"

Held in the Pavilion Master’s embrace, Qin Ya couldn’t help but ask resignedly. As he spoke, a faint, sweet fragrance wafted into his throat, making him cough twice. He then relaxed his body and stepped out of the Pavilion Master’s embrace.

"What a lovely scent."

Qin Ya murmured softly. This fragrance was not like the rouge of ordinary women; it carried a faint, wondrous spiritual aura that was difficult to resist.

"Remember, this big sister’s name is Fang Mei. The ’Mei’ for mesmerizing, you know."

Fang Mei chuckled. Then, a peculiar look entered her eyes as she saw a tall, shapely woman in a pale blue dress and light veil walk in. It was none other than Bi Xiaoyu, who had been following Qin Ya.

As Bi Xiaoyu entered, she happened to see Fang Mei giggling flirtatiously at Qin Ya. Her pace quickened, and she came to a halt right in front of him. Her gaze, however, was locked on Fang Mei, silently warning her not to take another step forward.

"Hah." Fang Mei scoffed, unfazed.

She turned to Qin Ya. "So, little brother, are you still here for the music and the dance?"

Qin Ya nodded. "Yes."

"This way, please."

Fang Mei then led the two of them directly up into an Elegant Pavilion.

Not long after, the celestial sound of a zither arose, and a dance like willows swaying in the wind began. Qin Ya sat in the Elegant Pavilion, quietly watching the performance.

Bi Xiaoyu sat silently across from him, not saying a word.

But suddenly, a loud RUMBLE echoed, and the zither music stopped abruptly.

"What is this trash you’re dancing and singing to? You dare bring this garbage out and embarrass yourselves? Is this how Qingkong City treats us?"

An arrogant and domineering voice rang out, its tone showing complete disregard for Qingkong City. Hearing this, Qin Ya’s brow furrowed, and he couldn’t help but look over.

It was a reasonably handsome young man in a pale yellow robe, holding a white fan. His face was currently filled with displeasure and anger.

"Who is that?" Qin Ya asked curiously.

Bi Xiaoyu replied, "He is a messenger from Meiying Main City. He’s mainly here to deliver an Imperial Decree Document to the City Lord, ordering him to take his people to the main city."

"Why go to the main city?"

"The Slaughter Ruins, which open once every sixty years, are about to appear. To resist the incursion from the Slaughter Ruins, the city lords of the twenty-four cities in Meiying County must all lead their people into the ruins to hunt Evil Spirits. This messenger is here to deliver that Imperial Decree Document."

"Besides hunting Evil Spirits, is there any other reason to go to the Slaughter Ruins?"

"The environment in the Slaughter Ruins is unique and gives birth to many rare Spiritual Objects. These Spiritual Objects are one of the main things the major cities compete for. On top of that, the more Evil Spirits you kill, the more Cultivation Resources you can obtain from the main city."

"That’s why the Four Great Noble Families made their move before the Slaughter Ruins opened. If they had let City Lord Mo go to the Slaughter Ruins and return, his power would have certainly increased, making it even harder for them to overthrow him," Bi Xiaoyu explained.

Understanding dawned on Qin Ya. He looked toward the imperious youth in the main hall of Tingchao Pavilion and said coolly, "Not only does he have the authority to deliver an Imperial Decree Document, but he’s also a messenger from the main city. No wonder he’s so arrogant."

"I also heard that this young man is on the Amor List, ranked twenty-third. His cultivation is at the King level, but he holds a record of fighting an Era-Defining King to a draw. Because of that, even City Lord Mo is very wary of him."

"Oh? A little interesting. What’s his name?"

"Dongmen Yu!"

At that moment, Dongmen Yu furiously smashed a vase and roared, "I came all the way here from the main city, not to listen to you bitches put on this kind of show and play this kind of music! Is this fit for human ears?"

"They’re both prodigies, but the difference between them is just too vast."

"I know, right? The Deputy City Lord is so much better."
