After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Then, the discussions inside the building erupted incessantly, like boiling water exploding, and could no longer be suppressed.

"Who was that person just now? Does anyone know him?"

"I don't know him, I've never seen him before... but judging from his calm and composed demeanor, he's definitely not simple."

"Do you think Song Yubai has really messed up this time?"

Discussions rose and fell.

Only the two of them remained standing in the same spot, gazing in the direction where Xu Ze had disappeared, their eyes fixed on him for a long time.

Fairy Qing Shuang's eyes were full of curiosity; she couldn't believe that someone her age would treat her this way.

As for Song Yubai, his eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Find out who this kid is and what his background is right now, and also find out about that little girl next to him!"

He still retained the last shred of his sanity.

If this were someone with no background or connections, he would have sent people to deal with him long ago.

But Xu Ze's arrogance was making him a little uneasy.

Although Song Yubai was often told by his older brother that he was "unfit for important tasks," he was not a complete idiot, even though he was immature.

He knew that there were some people in the Northern Continent, and even in the entire Tianyuan Continent, who could not be offended.

Those reclusive sects, ancient families, and dynasties of the Central Continent... none of them are people the Song family can afford to offend.

If the investigation reveals that they cannot afford to offend Xu Ze at all, then they will have no choice but to tolerate it.

In the real world of cultivation, there are no instances of one person making a mistake and the entire clan paying the price.

Even reputable sects will immediately abandon and sever ties with anyone who offends a powerful figure at a crucial moment.

To be honest, it's not much different from the Demonic Sect's Biyang Sect.

Essentially, it all boils down to prioritizing interests and valuing strength above all else.

Song Yubai took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He immediately mobilized the Song family's intelligence network, sparing no expense to find out the young man's background.

……

After leaving the auction, Xu Ze planned to find a place to stay and then inquire about the Ding family.

However, Donghua City is the territory of the Song family and their business empire, and seems to have no connection with the Ding family.

After walking for a while, seeing that Mu Qinghe was still closely following him, Xu Ze didn't stop her at first. But when they reached a less crowded area, he stopped, turned around, and asked:

"I've already treated you to some snacks, why are you still following me around? Do you expect me to help you find a place to stay?"

The two were standing at the entrance of a relatively quiet alley, where moonlight streamed through the gaps in the eaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The distant hustle and bustle of the main street could be faintly heard, which only made the quietness of this place stand out even more.

beside.

Mu Qinghe bit her lip and whispered, "I...I have nowhere to go..."

"No way, aren't you a princess?" Xu Ze deliberately feigned surprise. "This is called wandering."

Xu Ze knew she didn't have any spirit stones, but he just wanted to tease her.

Sure enough, upon hearing the word "wandering," Mu Qinghe's face flushed red.

She looked up and glared at Xu Ze, but there was no anger in her big eyes, only shame and helplessness.

Looking at the young man with a half-smile in front of him, Mu Qinghe felt like he was facing a big bad wolf.

Her face flushed slightly: "Then, then lend me some..."

"Borrow?" Xu Ze looked at her with suspicion. "What if you don't pay me back?"

"How could this princess possibly owe you spirit stones and not repay them?" Mu Qinghe was both embarrassed and angry at his words, and stomped her foot. "I will definitely repay you double!"

"But I don't lack spirit stones at all." Xu Ze shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

His performance at the recent auction showed he was much wealthier than those rich kids.

Even if Mu Qinghe repays him double in the future, it's only a few spirit stones. He doesn't need her to repay him at all.

"Then, then we can use something else..." Mu Qinghe had no other choice and lowered her head again.

what happened.

I'm not like this at home!

In the palace, let alone spirit stones, if she even glanced at a certain treasure, that treasure would be delivered to her the next day.

Who would dare speak to me like that!

If I had known, I wouldn't have come to this so-called Northern Continent!

“That won’t do. I have no interest in children,” Xu Zeyi said firmly, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant, and her face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" She jumped up angrily, pointing at Xu Ze's nose. "Who, who said we'd repay it like that! I meant with treasures! Rare and precious materials! Cultivation techniques and secret manuals! What are you thinking!"

Seeing her expression of both embarrassment and anger, Xu Ze couldn't help but laugh: "Oh? Is that so?"

"Then I misunderstood."

He smiled calmly, but to Mu Qinghe, that smile looked cunning no matter how she looked at it.

"I'm not a child!" Mu Qinghe protested, trying to straighten her back and appear taller. "I'm sixteen! In our Central Continent Dynasty, sixteen is old enough to be engaged!"

But then she realized something was off about what she'd just said, so she quickly changed the subject and asked in a low voice:

"So, who exactly are you?"

Although she was a princess of the Central Immortal Continent, she was clearly full of curiosity about someone who could do whatever he wanted in the circle of geniuses in the Northern Continent.

Although among the five continents of Tianyuan Continent, the Central Immortal Continent is the most prestigious.

However, Beiju Luzhou is second only to it, with a profound history and ancient legends, and in some aspects it may be more mysterious than Zhongzhou.

Those who can act with impunity in such places are either incredibly powerful or have unfathomable backgrounds.

Who exactly is this kid?

"Didn't I already say, you're a rogue cultivator?" Xu Ze said matter-of-factly.

do not know why.

Since I came to this second instance.

People keep asking themselves the same question, and they keep repeating it.

Is this the downside of grinding too high a level in the starting village?

He has no sect, no power, no background; he is commonly known as a cultivator with no sect, no power, and no background. What else could he be but a rogue cultivator?

Mu Qinghe: "..."

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

A while later.

Mu Qinghe felt that Xu Ze was still dodging her questions, so she asked the question that had always been on her mind:

"Then... do you know the Holy Son of the 'Shenji Sect'?"

Is Chapter 73 really that big?

"Yes, I've heard of it."

Xu Ze glanced sideways, a strange look flashing in his eyes. "What's wrong? Why are you asking about him? Are you close to him?"

Mu Qinghe shook his head, gazing into the distance: "I don't know, I just want to see what kind of person he is. I heard he's prophesied to be the future leader of the righteous path in Beiju Luzhou, possessing the potential of a great emperor. I wonder if it's true or not..."

Her tone was somewhat complex, containing both curiosity and a hint of something less obvious... comparison?

"The potential to become an emperor?" Xu Ze thought that this was not a good title.

Based on past life experiences, people who are called this usually don't have a good ending.

"No way, you don't even know this?"

The little girl was surprised to see that the young man in front of her didn't seem to be faking it.

Even she, who came from the Central Immortal Continent, knew this!

Mu Qinghe blinked, looking at Xu Ze as if he were some rare animal, and then began to patiently explain:

"The Holy Son of Xuanji Sect, the Third Prince of Zhongzhou who has just ascended to the throne in front of the spirit, and the 'Dragon Blood Holy Body' of Dongsheng Divine Continent are the three top geniuses recognized by Tianyuan Continent today."

"They are considered to be the most likely in this generation to break through the Mahayana path and reach a realm that no one has been able to reach since the ancient times."

She paused, looking at Xu Ze's still calm expression, and became even more certain that this guy really didn't know any of this common sense.

Seriously, why did I run into a guy like this in Beiju Luzhou?

His curiosity about this guy now surpasses that for the Holy Son of the Xuanji Sect.

"That's awesome?"

After hearing what the little girl said, Xu Ze was secretly amazed.

No wonder the teacher was betrothed by his family; this holy son is something else.

But no matter what, if the teacher doesn't want to...

No one can make her do something she doesn't want to do.

He knows Ding Wan very well.

That seemingly cold but actually warm-hearted female swordswoman was more stubborn and proud than anyone else.

With her strength, even in this Northern Continent, no one could do anything to her.

I think... right?

Xu Ze suddenly felt a little uncertain.
