The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 811: Chapter 881 Liu Xiaoyue is in Trouble

Nian Family Patriarch felt slightly disoriented today.

Those two young people, where were they?

The Nian Family Patriarch looked around, but found nothing! Had he not been holding a Sumeru Ring in his hand, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

”Let’s see what’s inside this!” The Nian Family Patriarch nonchalantly released a bit of Primordial Energy.

Whoosh!

The resources stored inside the Sumeru Ring were immediately visible to him.

”This is...”

”My God! So many Spirit Stones? These, these are Top-grade Spirit Stones? Jade Bottles, could they all contain Elixirs?”

Seeing the resources inside the Sumeru Ring, the Nian Family Patriarch was stunned, scared stiff! He had never seen so many resources in his lifetime.

A guard next to him saw the Patriarch standing motionless as if petrified and approached shouting.

”Patriarch!”

”What’s wrong, Patriarch?” the guard asked, puzzled.

After being called several times, the Nian Family Patriarch finally snapped out of it.

”Gather the family elders in the Council Hall immediately!” the Nian Family Patriarch bellowed, then rushed back to his residence.

His mind couldn’t calm down.

With so many resources, it was enough for the Nian Family to use for a very long time. If used properly, it could definitely increase the number of Innate Realm Martial Artists in the family, and there might even be a chance for some to advance to the Dao Spirit Realm. Having a Dao Spirit Realm Practitioner would solidify the Nian Family’s position in Duyang City like Mount Tai.

In the Nian Family Council Hall!

”Patriarch, you urgently called us here, what has happened?”

”What major event has occurred?” the Nian Family elders all asked.

”Take a look!” The Nian Family Patriarch waved his hand, and all the resources inside the Sumeru Ring fell onto the floor of the Council Hall, a huge pile of Spirit Stone resources.

Beside it, there were also many Jade Bottles.

The Nian Family elders were all stunned!

...

”Jing Yan, where are we heading next?” Gao Feng looked at Jing Yan with her beautiful eyes.

The two were flying quickly through the sky.

Gao Feng was only at the Daoist Master Realm in Cultivation, and if she were alone, her flying speed would be very slow. But what was Jing Yan’s Cultivation? By simply releasing a bit of Primordial Energy to envelop Gao Feng, he could increase her speed to that of a typical Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner.

”Let’s head to Guangying County,” Jing Yan suggested.

”Oh? To see that Liu Xiaoyue?” Gao Feng pouted.

”Don’t get me wrong, I have no other intentions, just...” Jing Yan quickly explained.

”Alright, alright, even if you are interested in Liu Xiaoyue, it’s totally fine. I’m not jealous,” Gao Feng smiled with her lips pursed, her curved eyes looking exceptionally beautiful.

Guangying County, on the Heavenly Origin Continent, was also just a relatively small commandery similar in size to Lanqu County, both having relatively short histories.

Moreover, both Lanqu County and Guangying County were under the jurisdiction of Jing Yan as the Hall Master.

The official title of Holy Hall Master was not just for show. Each Hall Master was responsible for managing multiple commandery regions.

Of course, day-to-day management of the commanderies was usually the affair of the Commandery Prince; unless there was a major event, the Hall Master would not interfere in the affairs of the commanderies.

Jing Yan was not in a hurry to travel, so he maintained a flying speed typical of the Dao Emperor Realm. Also, from time to time, he would land on the ground to enjoy the scenery of various places.

Before leaving the Heavenly Origin Continent, Jing Yan wanted to spend more time with Gao Feng. This trip was meant for leisurely sightseeing.

It took them over a week to finally arrive at Guangying County.

Jing Yan didn’t visit the Prince Manor, even though Guangying County was under his jurisdiction. Since there was no official business this time, he didn’t want to disturb the Commandery Prince of Guangying County.

They went to Feihua Academy to see Liu Xiaoyue, and then Jing Yan planned to leave.

Outside the main gate of Feihua Academy, Jing Yan and Gao Feng arrived. The main gate of the academy was, of course, strictly guarded to restrict outsiders from entering.

The academies in each commandery had similar regulations, such as the Three Major Academies in Lanqu County, which also followed the same rules. Allowing outsiders in randomly could indeed easily cause chaos.

Of course, if someone was looking for an academy’s internal member, that was possible. As long as they went through the academy gate’s guards and the guard confirmed that the visitor indeed knew someone inside the academy or was a staff member, the visitor could enter and meet with the internal person in a designated area.

”We are friends of Liu Xiaoyue, the Outer Court Deacon. We’ve come from afar and would like to meet her!” Jing Yan spoke to the guard.

”Please register your personal information here!” the guard took out a form and asked Jing Yan to fill it out.

Jing Yan smiled, not refusing the procedure despite his stature.

”I’ll write it,” Gao Feng said with a smile.

The information required was simple, just the visitor’s name and where they came from.

After the guard checked the filled form, he asked them to wait. He went into the academy to find Liu Xiaoyue to confirm that she indeed knew the two visitors before he would lead Jing Yan and Gao Feng inside.

Jing Yan and Gao Feng waited for about thirty minutes before the guard returned.

”Follow me!” the guard clearly had confirmed that Liu Xiaoyue knew the two visitors.

Under the guard’s lead, Jing Yan and Gao Feng entered the designated area of Feihua Academy set up for receiving visitors.

Before Jing Yan and Gao Feng’s arrival, Liu Xiaoyue was already waiting there.

Liu Xiaoyue was thrilled to know Jing Yan had come.

”Big Brother Jing Yan!” Liu Xiaoyue ran up to Jing Yan, her face full of joy.

”Xiao Yue!” Jing Yan smiled in response, ”I’ve been to Black Wind Town and met your father, so I knew you were at Feihua Academy and even became the Outer Court Deacon. Nice, you’ve entered the Dao Spirit Realm.”

Liu Xiaoyue blushed at his words.

”Sister Gao Feng,” Liu Xiaoyue also greeted Gao Feng.

”Sister Xiao Yue, you’re becoming more and more beautiful. Surely, you must have many admirers here?” Gao Feng said with a smile.

A shadow briefly crossed Liu Xiaoyue’s eyes as she glanced at Jing Yan.

She liked Jing Yan.

From the very first time when Jing Yan visited Black Wind Town, she had developed feelings for him. Later, when Jing Yan went to the Wei Family in Duyang City to rescue her, her heart had no room for anyone else but Jing Yan. Yet, she kept her feelings hidden, thinking the gap between their statuses was too great and Jing Yan possibly wouldn’t reciprocate.

However, her fleeting sadness was quickly overshadowed by the joy that Jing Yan had come to see her.

Just the fact that Jing Yan remembered her and wanted to see her was enough for her.

The three chatted casually in the room.

”Xiao Yue, you’re not being bullied here, are you?” Gao Feng asked with a light laugh.

”No... no, I’m fine! I’m an academy deacon! Who would dare to bully me?” Liu Xiaoyue replied, but her expression was somewhat unnatural.

She was good at masking it, but how could she fool Jing Yan and Gao Feng? They immediately sensed something was off.

”Xiao Yue, are you experiencing any trouble at Feihua Academy? Could it be, someone really is bullying you?” Gao Feng’s eyebrows furrowed.

She had just asked casually and hadn’t really thought Liu Xiaoyue was in any trouble. But this casual question revealed that Liu Xiaoyue’s demeanor was clearly not normal.
