Now it had been almost two days, and she still didn’t even know his full na, let alone his faction behind him.
Yuri wasn’t concerned. "That’s not difficult at all. Just listen to next ti. I guarantee not only his full na, but how old he is and what faction he’s from."
"Really? Fine, I’ll follow your lead next ti." Sehyun Wang thought for a mont, then shook her head. "Actually, maybe you should handle the talking. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back."
Then Amalia realized Sehyun Wang had grown smarter.
Her weaknesses weren’t gone, but they were now masked by the assertive presence of Yuri.
Extracting information as they had before was no longer possible.
"What is it you want to know?" Before Amalia could decide her next move, Kenny Lin spoke up voluntarily.
Hearing him speak, Sehyun Wang was so excited she grabbed Yuri’s sleeve in secret.
Yuri gave her mistress a calm, reassuring look. "Has Your Excellency married yet?"
"No, but soon," Kenny Lin replied carelessly.
Amalia shot him a glance, annoyed by his cheekiness.
When had they ever talked about getting married soon?
They had only ever said "soday."
Sehyun Wang’s smile instantly faded.
She had assud Kenny Lin hadn’t been with his partner for long, given how rare it was for cultivators to find partners so quickly.
In a sowhat bitter tone, she asked, "Have you known each other for a long ti?"
"Yeah, for two years," Kenny Lin replied.
"Only two years?" Sehyun Wang’s eyes almost popped out.
Kenny Lin frowned, looking displeased. "What’s wrong with two years?"
Sehyun Wang t his gaze, her heart racing. "Nothing..."
So it was only two years; their relationship couldn’t be that deep, which ant she still had a chance—a huge opportunity at that.
Just then, a commotion ca from the direction of the main door.
A bright yellow figure appeared at the end of the stone path, quickly approaching them in a near jog.
"Oh no, why is she here?" Sehyun Wang’s face changed dramatically.
As she spoke, the person ran over, her eyes glued to Kenny Lin and Amalia, seemingly unable to look away.
Then she laughed, "Sister Sehyun, you’re hiding two stunningly beautiful won and handso n here and didn’t even tell !"
"They’re just guests I invited to the manor; don’t say such things," Sehyun Wang said unhappily.
"Am I saying anything wrong?" Hana Yun smiled brightly. "Aren’t they just incredibly beautiful and handso?"
Compared to Sehyun Wang’s initially straightforward yet shy gaze, Hana Yun’s look was downright bold, constantly assessing them as if evaluating rchandise.
Amalia didn’t like Hana Yun’s gaze.
The reason she agreed to visit the city lord’s manor with Sehyun Wang wasn’t just for the Jade Fang Stone and the Millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood; there was another reason.
It was the way Sehyun Wang looked at them—with a simple appreciation for beauty.
Soone who understood boundaries generally had a decent nature.
"If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave it at that for today," Amalia said, pulling her gaze away and preparing to leave.
"Wait, are you leaving just after arriving? You don’t want to give face?" Hana Yun cheerfully blocked their way, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
Sehyun Wang also disliked Hana Yun, but she feared that Amalia might offend her, so she sent a thought transmission to explain, "She’s my cousin Hana Yun, the daughter of the Harmonywood’s City lord. The Xue family is my mother’s sister’s family. But I don’t like her; she loves collecting beautiful and handso people like , and there are countless concubines in her manor, but many of whom she forcefully took. I don’t like her thods and usually avoid her."
"I don’t know how she found out so quickly. Normally, it would take five days for news to reach her. Even if she rushed over, she would’ve been too late."
Worried that Amalia might misunderstand and think she had summoned Hana Yun, Sehyun Wang made sure to clarify.
"It seems that the Wang family isn’t as united as it appears," Amalia remarked pointedly.
Sehyun Wang understood imdiately, her expression becoming awkward.
It wasn’t because of Amalia’s sarcasm; she had never thought the city lord’s manor was truly united.
She just didn’t expect such matters to occur while soone she liked was present, showing him a less admirable side of herself, which left her feeling embarrassed.
"Yuri," Sehyun Wang sent a thought to her.
"Understood. I’ll find out who leaked the news. You can rest assured," Yuri replied.
Without needing her master to say it, Yuri decided to investigate; no one would like Hana Yun’s style.
"Then I’ll leave it to you," Sehyun Wang nodded her head slightly, a cold glint in her eyes.
The changes in her expression did not escape Amalia and Kenny Lin’s notice; indeed, the city lord’s daughter was no pushover.
...
It had been less than half a year since arriving in Mystic Void Continent.
They had never even heard of Harmonywood City, let alone the famous Hana Yun.
Faced with Hana Yun’s threats, Amalia and Kenny Lin, who were not to be trifled with either, were not easily intimidated.
Seeing Hana Yun’s cold smile and air of confidence, they glanced at the cultivators behind her.
The strongest among them was only at the Nascent Soul stage.
No wonder she dared to be so arrogant.
Noticing them observing her guards, Hana Yun smiled smugly.
"Are you looking at my guards? My parents are afraid I’ll be bullied outside, so they specially sent a Nascent Soul-stage cultivator to protect . And yet, you’re only at the Golden Core stage? Your cultivation level is a bit low."
After showing so disdain, Hana Yun bead, then, in a patronizing tone, said, "But don’t worry. As long as you follow , I guarantee that within a year, you’ll break through to the peak of the Golden Core stage."
"With , you can have all the spiritual dicines and elixirs you want, and unlike others, you won’t have to pay any great price."
