"How is he?" After departing from Yun Lintian's group for a considerable distance, Ye Jingran asked. Her question wasn't directed at the two maids behind her but at an existence protecting her in the dark.
An old female voice imdiately resounded. "He discovered my position but pretended he didn't see it."
Ye Jingran's pupils shrank slightly upon hearing this. How did Yun Lintian find the old woman, who was at the peak of the Divine Tribulation Realm and well-hidden, despite his own Divine Foundation Realm??
"Is he really that powerful?" She asked again unwillingly.
"I have a hunch that not even a Divine Origin Realm's practitioner can be his opponent." The old woman replied.
This ti, Ye Jingran finally believed it. She took a deep breath and said. "I must bring him over. He will be a great asset for our Ye Clan."
"Young Miss, it's not that I want to stop you, but a person like him won't lower his head to anyone. If you can't be a friend, it's better not to be enemies with him." The old woman said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ye Jingran curled her lips. A trace of arrogance appeared in her eyes as she said. "No matter how powerful he is. What could he do in front of our Ye Clan?"
The old woman wanted to say sothing but held back in the end. She secretly made up her mind to tell the patriarch about this in order to prevent a potential disaster.
She had lived for ten thousand years, and her judgnt had always been on point. She believed Yun Lintian wasn't soone the Ye Clan could provoke.

The carriage slowly landed on an open space inside the Chu Country Capital City after traveling for two hours.
"We are here." Xin Wu said and got down from the carriage, followed by Yun Lintian's group.
Yun Lintian looked at the bustling street in the distance. The city here wasn't different from major cities in the Azure World, but the atmosphere here was more oppressive due to a massive disparity of strength.
He could see many people hide to the side fearfully whenever a Divine Foundation Realm's practitioner walked past them.
Perceiving the atmosphere, Ning Yue couldn't help but reach out to grab Yun Lintian's sleeve and move closer to him. This was her first ti coming to such a huge city like this.
Yun Lintian didn't say anything and grabbed her little hand, easing her nervousness.
"Do you have a business here, Brother Lin? Otherwise, we could rush to the Great Zhou Capital City directly." Xin Wu asked.
Yun Lintian shook his head and said. "I don't have anything to do here now."
"Let's go then." Xin Wu nodded and turned to the Golden Fla Lion, letting it go back to the capital city on its own.
The Golden Fla Lion didn't say anything and flew away directly with the empty carriage. Because of the rule the Great Zhou Emperor set up, all the carriages and mounts were prohibited from using the grand teleporting formation.
Xin Wu then led everything toward the city lord's mansion.
Along the way, Yun Lintian would see so small fights between practitioners from ti to ti, and no one would dare to intervene. This was the first ti Yun Lintian saw such a scene in a big city.
Back in the Azure World, all the citizens always respected the city's rules. Even if they had an argunt, they would solve it outside the city.
Xin Wu seed to see Yun Lintian's doubt. He chuckled and explained. "Even though this is a country's capital city, it's not that strict. Anyone can fight here as long as they don't damage the city's properties."
"It will be different when you arrive at the Great Zhou Capital City later. Over there, you need to solve a grievance outside the city. Otherwise, the guards will kill you on the spot, no matter how powerful your background is."
Yun Lintian nodded gently. He was just surprised about it and didn't think too much. After all, he had already experienced the cruel environnt here in the past week.
Soon, Yun Lintian's group arrived at the city lord's mansion. Their arrival received many strange gazes from a group of people who had arrived before them.
Yun Lintian looked at the group of people and saw Ye Jingran among them. He also noticed that the way she looked at him seed to be different from before. It was as if she wanted to kidnap him.
This made Yun Lintian secretly guard against her.
"Brother Xin." An elegant young man clad in a blue robe walked over and greeted Xin Wu with a smile.
"Oh? You're not dead, Little Hao?" Xin Wu chuckled.
The young man, Hao Jixin, laughed slightly. He looked at Yun Lintian's group and asked curiously. "Are you deceiving people again, Brother Xin?"
"What deceive?" Xin Wu's face darkened. "This is Brother Lin, a top alchemist I have invited over."
"A top alchemist? You're not joking, right? If he was a top alchemist, wouldn't I be the best alchemist in the world?" Hao Jixin seized Yun Lintian up and down in confusion. No matter how he looked at him, Yun Lintian was obviously in his twenties. How could he be a top alchemist?
The sa went for other people at the back. Even if Yun Lintian practiced when he was in his mother's womb, it was impossible for him to be a top alchemist.
Ning Yue was a little angry when she heard this. She didn't want anyone to insult Yun Lintian. However, she managed to hold her anger back in the end, as she didn't want to cause trouble for him.
Yun Lintian perceived Ning Yue's anger and patted her hand gently, indicating he was fine with it.
Xin Wu's face drooped slightly. "You're itchy to get a slap, aren't you?"
Hao Jixin chuckled as he didn't think Xin Wu was serious. "I was just joking, Brother Xin. No need to get angry, right?"
"Besides, if he's truly a top alchemist, I will surely let him make so pills for ."
His tone was arrogant, and he didn't treat Yun Lintian as an alchemist at all. Even if Yun Lintian turned out to be a top alchemist in the end, Hao Jixin wasn't afraid of offending Yun Lintian either. With the Hao Clan behind him, what could Yun Lintian do?
"Shut up!" Before Xin Wu could say anything, Ye Jingran suddenly bellowed and slapped Hao Jixin.
Bang!
