I courted death and then tried to escape, so the whole sect wants to get rid of me.

He looks like a naive young swordsman who has just come out to experience the world.

Xuanfeng immediately stopped talking, jumped back onto Song Yao's shoulder, and transmitted her voice: "You're really a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers. You actually dare to come to a place like this."

Song Yao ignored it, glanced at the boy, moved away a little, and continued to eat her noodles with her head down.

The boy exclaimed, "Don't be afraid, I'm really not an evil cultivator."

As he spoke, he took out a token from his bag: "I am a direct disciple of Emperor Zhaoci, and my name is Lin Qing."

Song Yao glanced at the token and finally spoke, "Is there something you need?"

"I have no ill intentions. I just saw you sitting here alone, not pretending at all, and I was afraid you would be targeted by evil cultivators."

Lin Qing took the noodles, thanked the shopkeeper, and continued, "You don't know, these evil cultivators love to capture good-looking people to use as furnaces for some kind of cultivation. You look easy to catch."

"Even if you don't get caught outside, once you're inside Wanchun Tower, you'll definitely be targeted by those shady characters!"

Song Yao, her cheeks bulging from eating, asked, "Then what should I do?"

Lin Qing thought for a moment, then took out a black cloak from his storage pouch and handed it to her: "I should have taken a disguise pill to be safer, but I didn't know I would run into you, so I didn't bring anything. Here, take this and make do with it."

Song Yao paused for two seconds, then took it: "Thank you."

This time, Xuanfeng looked at her strangely and then transmitted her voice: "The Disguise Pill, Master and Seventh Elder must have given it to you, why didn't you use it?"

Song Yao: "It's not worth all that trouble."

If the other party's spiritual sense is strong enough, they can see through her disguise pill at a glance.

Moreover, Zhu Zhao and the Seventh Elder gave her a whole bunch of things, and she was too lazy to sort them all out, so she just stuffed them all into her mustard bag.

Xuanfeng blinked her big, green-bean-sized eyes as she watched her put on the cloak.

Strange.

He finds the disguise pill troublesome, but he doesn't find the cloak given to him by the person in front of him troublesome.

Seeing that she had put on her cloak, Lin Qing was still a little worried: "You're not very old. Do your family members know you're coming to Wanchun Tower?"

Song Yao nodded.

Lin Qing was shocked: "Your family actually let you come to a place like this all by yourself? I escaped."

Song Yao said, "I'm better."

The black phoenix on her shoulder was even more confused.

This girl has always been arrogant, so how come she has the patience to talk to a passing sword cultivator under these circumstances?

Could it be that he felt this place was too dangerous and wanted to protect him for a while?

However, she mostly acts on impulse, and may simply be chatting with the child when she feels like it.

Xuanfeng nuzzled against her neck, signaling her not to waste time here.

Lin Qing, clearly not believing she was capable, dismissed it as nonsense, and continued, "Wanchun Pavilion is displaying the Guiyu Sword, and too many people want to see its true form. To avoid chaos, an invitation is required to enter and exit Wanchun Pavilion tonight. Have you made a reservation in advance?"

Gu Xiao hadn't told her about this beforehand.

Song Yao shook her head: "No."

Xuanfeng exclaimed, "This child is quite kind; the invitation must have been expensive."

Song Yao accepted the invitation, tossed a jade pendant into his arms, and stood up: "Thank you."

"No need to pay, my family is rich."

Lin Qing hurriedly caught the jade token, and when she looked up, Song Yao had already put down the spirit stone and was about to leave.

He quickly ate a couple of bites of noodles and caught up with her, saying, "Wait for me! Let's go in together so we can look out for each other!"

Song Yao did not refuse, which can be considered as acquiescence.

The two left the city and landed in front of Wanchun Tower, stepping on the light of their swords.

Only when you get closer do you realize how magnificent this place is. Standing alone on the sea, so noisy and bustling, it's like a ghost town.

Song Yao's gaze swept around.

There were servants guarding outside, all hidden in the shadows.

There aren't many, probably twenty or thirty people. The remaining fifty or so should all be inside the building.

What a grand display!

The two men presented the invitations, and a handsome servant dressed in a plain white brocade robe bowed and led them inside.

Pushing open the vermilion gate, everything suddenly became bright and the noise became clear.

This place is completely different from the outside world.

Looking up, one cannot see the top of the building; hundreds of layers of circular pavilions are stacked one on top of the other, with glass lanterns hanging from the eaves and luminous pearls adorning the surrounding area.

Each floor is furnished with private booths, with separate stages, casinos, and taverns. The aromas of elixirs, wine, and cosmetics mingle together, and the comings and goings are not only filled with evil cultivators and demons, but also with some enlightened monsters that have taken human form.

The noisy sounds drifted down from the courtyard.

At the very center of the base is an extremely luxurious and magnificent jade platform, its surface as smooth as a mirror, surrounded by carved railings; this must be where the Guiyu Sword is displayed.

Looking further up, the first three floors are covered by a faint, shimmering barrier, with spiritual light hidden in the dazzling lights, clearly preventing guests from entering or leaving at will.

The two people and the bird were like opening the door to a new world.

This isn't a restaurant; it's a paradise where you could easily get lost if you're not careful.

Song Yao sighed, "This place is clearly bigger and better than the Wanchun Pavilion in Tian Shu Realm."

Xuanfeng whispered ominously in her ear, "It's even more dangerous."

The Tian Shu Realm is located in a valley. Although there are many evil cultivators and demonic cultivators coming and going, it is definitely not as completely unmanaged as this place.

Furthermore, since it was Shen Queshan's territory, almost no one dared to cause trouble.

But it's different here.

A pure land completely free from the control of the three major sects.

Xuanfeng narrowed her beady green eyes and looked up: "Do you think the owner of Yong'an Tower is upstairs?"

Song Yao shook her head: "I don't know."

The barrier was too strong; she couldn't probe inside either.

Xuanfeng: "Alright, be careful, they might already be watching us."

The attendant led the two along the corridor, turning several corners, and onto a jade platform that could be raised and lowered, stopping at the sixty-third floor.

"Your positions are here."

The attendant stood respectfully beside a private seat near the inner railing, neatly placing the invitation on the table.

Lin Qing took a few steps to the railing and looked down, exclaiming with delight, "This location is amazing! It's right in front of the jade platform below. Once the Guiyu Sword is revealed, we should be able to see it very clearly. It was worth spending 500,000 spirit stones to buy this spot."

Xuan Niao muttered to Song Yao, "Buying such an expensive spot just to see a sword? These young people nowadays..."

A servant took out two translucent white jade tokens and placed them on the table: "What would you two gentlemen like to drink?"

Song Yao leaned lazily against the railing, her gaze sweeping over the smooth jade platform at the bottom, and said, "Life is but a dream."

The attendant reached out and brushed his hand across her jade pendant, leaving a mark, and bowed, replying, "Yes, sir, please wait a moment."
