Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: The Secret of Master Yipiao

Ah Xia gave Qin Sisi a deep look and sincerely said, "Master Fairy, you’re leaving tomorrow. I wish you all the best. If His Royal Highness can truly resolve the drought issue in Midair City, no matter what Jiu Ge decides, I will remain eternally loyal to His Highness. Through fire and water, I won’t hesitate."

Qin Sisi curved her lips into a gentle smile and said, "Ah Xia, thank you."

Ah Xia shook his head, "No need to thank . I know this matter is very difficult."

Qin Sisi’s eyes dimd slightly as she replied, "Ah Xia, you must also take care and watch over Elder Gong Zhuo."

Ah Xia nodded and responded, "I will, Master Fairy. I’ll also pass on your Ice Bone Piccolo to more people. And I’ll tell them that the future Holy Queen is a fairy who is both beautiful and kind."

Qin Sisi felt a deep surge of emotion in her heart. What had been a casual act of kindness back then had now brought her such great returns.

"Thank you." Qin Sisi whispered her gratitude for the second ti. The first was for Ye You, this ti it was for herself.

Ah Xia gazed at Qin Sisi, his smile radiant yet tinged with sorrow. He stepped back a few paces, placed his right hand over his chest, and perford a formal salute to Qin Sisi before turning to leave.

Qin Sisi stood in the courtyard, unmoving for a long ti.

Ye You approached her and wrapped his arms around her from behind, speaking softly to comfort her: "Don’t worry. Jiu Ge isn’t wrong either. Given the current chaotic situation in Midair City, a powerful and decisive clan leader is needed. Jiu Ge is more suitable than Ah Xia."

Qin Sisi turned around to face Ye You and softly asked, "I’m more worried about you. You agreed so readily—do you have a solution?"

Ye You paused before replying, "There’s a lead, but no certainty."

Qin Sisi didn’t fully understand Ye You’s aning and looked at him with confusion.

Pulling her hand, Ye You led her toward the house while saying, "Let’s pack up our things first. Tomorrow, we set out for the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle."

"What are we going to the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle for?" Qin Sisi was even more puzzled.

Ye You smirked mischievously and replied in a low voice, "To pick Master Yipiao’s pocket."

The next day, Ye You, Qin Sisi, and the other companions left the Chief Mansion. Ah Xia, Gong Zhuo, and a few others from the Haixin Comrce Association ca to see them off, but Jiu Ge did not show up.

To reach Scholar City as quickly as possible, they chose to take a flying device.

To ensure Qin Sisi’s comfort, Ye You initially planned to buy a luxury suite pass for the Central District. However, Qin Sisi expressed her preference for a standard room in the First-Class District and insisted on going there.

Ye You was sowhat helpless. Qing Xun glanced at him with a aningful look and remarked, "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

Saying this, Qing Xun bought a First-Class District pass for herself and strode toward the escalator leading there.

Ye You sighed, gently kissed Qin Sisi’s forehead, bought four First-Class District passes, and handed two of them to Yun Wang and Yun Cheng behind him.

Between Midair City and Scholar City lay only Crystal City, making the distance relatively short. Ye You and Qin Sisi planned to visit Master Shuo Yu on the flying device, but unfortunately, Master Shuo Yu was not on board.

After a full day and night of flying, the device slowly descended into Scholar City.

The five disembarked and headed straight for the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle. They were no longer students of the castle and thus, technically required permission to enter.

Shortly after stepping into the corridor leading to Heaven Academy, they were stopped. However, when Ye You presented the jade pass personally bestowed by Master Yipiao that permitted him permanent entry, they were swiftly allowed through.

Curious, Qin Sisi asked, "How did you get that jade pass?"

Ye You replied, "Master Yipiao gave it to ."

"Why did he give it to you?" Qin Sisi’s curiosity was not yet satisfied.

Ye You laughed heartily and said, "Because I perford well!"

Qin Sisi retorted indignantly, "I perford well too! Why didn’t he give

one?"

Qing Xun cleared her throat twice and comnted, "Because he is the Prince."

Realization dawned on Qin Sisi as she looked at Ye You with a pout.

Ye You glared at Qing Xun and said, "Even if I were a dimwit, being a Prince wouldn’t help , right?"

"That’s true," Qing Xun admitted with a nod.

Qin Sisi stifled a laugh and leaned close to Ye You’s ear to whisper, "I know. The teachers all say you’re excellent."

Ye You’s hand, draped over Qin Sisi’s shoulder, slid down subtly, pinching her waist lightly and playfully.

Keeping her composure in front of the others, Qin Sisi resisted the urge to cry out, instead glaring at Ye You in mock annoyance.

Their sudden arrival surprised Master Yipiao, who asked in astonishnt, "Why have you co? Is there a matter at hand?"

Ye You stepped forward and declared boldly, "Of course, there’s no visiting for nothing. I’m here to consult you on an item today."

"What item?" Master Yipiao’s face darkened slightly, a faint sense of foreboding creeping in.

Fixing his gaze on Master Yipiao, Ye You enunciated every word clearly: "The Water Spirit Pearl."

Master Yipiao furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you need the Water Spirit Pearl for?"

Ye You briefly explained Jiu Ge’s conditions and concluded sincerely, "I hope to gain the support of Midair City and am willing to do sothing in return. I humbly seek your guidance, Master."

Master Yipiao responded gravely, "I’ve only heard of the Water Spirit Pearl. To use it for manipulating weather requires at least Demon Emperor-level power. You are not at that level, and forcing such treasure-seeking will only bring calamity upon yourself. Think of another way!"

With that, Master Yipiao turned to head back to his room.

Ye You suddenly called out, "Master, have you gotten rich in recent years?"

Master Yipiao’s expression shifted as he puffed up his chest and snapped, "Don’t talk nonsense! I’ve always sought simplicity and detachnt, disdaining wealth and worldly possessions. How could those trivial things ever catch my eye?"

Ye You, unperturbed, said calmly, "I’ve heard the students in the years after

received excellent rewards for outstanding exam performances. Back when I consistently ranked first in every assessnt, you rely gave

a symbolic Spirit Revitalizing Pill. I never saw any of the luxuries they enjoyed."

"Ahem," Master Yipiao coughed twice, his gaze evasive as he stamred, "You never lacked money. Whatever you wanted, you could buy on your own. How could you begrudge Qin Sisi, who’s worked tirelessly, for those modest rewards?"

Ignoring the Master’s attempts at provocation, Ye You sneered and said, "I heard that two years after our graduation, you started traveling abroad. Around that ti, the Hidden Cloud Realm of Qiyun Mountain was about to appear for the first ti in a century..."

"Stop!" Master Yipiao hastily interrupted him, dreading that too many people might learn of the fortune he’d made in the Hidden Cloud Realm. If word spread, his peace would be forever disrupted.
