Jinzhou, at the entrance of the vegetable market.
The crowd is bustling, passers-by are all looking curiously at the tall and the short at the street corner.
Zhao Huai, dressed in a white robe, showed elegance, yet he was holding Pei Xiangyun by the collar of her clothes expressionlessly. “I’ve explained everything, are you being disobedient again?”
“You little brat, always meddling in others’ affairs.”
“Put me down!”
Pei Xiangyun’s eyes widened, her lips pouted, showing clear dissatisfaction with Zhao Huai. “I’m not little!”
She said, exasperated.
“Come home with me.”
Zhao Huai was rather straightforward with his younger sister-in-law, grabbing her and ready to leave.
“If you do this again, I’ll tell your sister about all the trouble you’ve caused.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Xiangyun was immediately frightened.
What she said and what her brother-in-law said, even if they were the same, would sound completely different in her sister’s ears.
Her sister would certainly not listen to her explanation.
“Brother Zhao, have I not admitted my mistake!”
Zhao Huai ignored her wailing, set her down and walked away.
On the way, they passed by the Jishi Pharmacy. Zhao Huai initially wanted to say hello, but noticed that the pharmacy’s main gate was tightly closed. There was no sign of anyone inside.
By reason’s sake.
This guy never missed an opportunity to earn money, why would the pharmacy be closed now?
Could something have happened?
“What’s wrong, Brother Zhao?”
Seeing Zhao Huai’s wandering gaze, Pei Xiangyun couldn’t help but ask.
“Nothing, just reminded of something.”
Zhao Huai shook his head, about to turn around and leave.
A familiar voice came from behind.
“Brother Zhao, long time no see.”
He turned around and found it was Yan Jing, whom he hadn’t seen for several months, coming out the door.
Still lean with a kerchief on his head, not much older than middle age.
For some reason, after a long absence, Zhao Huai felt that there was something different about Yan Jing.
“Indeed, it’s been a while. I was out of town for a few days and got a bit busy.”
Zhao Huai replied with a smile.
“And this lady is…”
Yan Jing noticed the young woman in a dress next to him, staring at him, and asked curiously.
“This is my wife’s little sister, she’s staying with me for now.”
“Oh, I see.”
A knowing smile emerged on Yan Jing’s face.
“Brother Yan, why aren’t you doing business today?”
Zhao Huai glanced at the empty pharmacy inside the gate and asked quietly.
Yan Jing smiled silently, put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps, remarking poignantly, “I can’t carry on anymore, there aren’t many peaceful days left.”
“What do you mean?”
Hearing this sentence, Zhao Huai seemed to realise something, he quickly glanced at the horizon in Jinzhou.
It was late noon, and the sun was beginning to set.
Yan Jing retracted his smile and said solemnly, “Yan Country’s national fortune has revived. It’s impossible for the mortal world to remain as it used to be.
There might be significant changes.”
“Is it really so?”
Zhao Huai appeared to be slightly stunned, acting as if he just knew about it.
Of course, he knew who started all of this, but he couldn’t show it. So he paused for a few seconds and said,
“Even if Yan Country comes out, I don’t think the mortal world will necessarily be in chaos, right? The Immortal Sect has always maintained the order of the mortal world, it’s not that easy to overthrow.”
Zhao Huai thought of the Exquisite Palace coming down the mountain, as well as the people from the Eternal Taoist Temple. He felt that Jinzhou was relatively safe.
Plus, his cultivation had recently improved. He was unbeatable in the Initiation Stage and could barely fight with the lowest realms of the Golden Core. With the Immortal Sect as his backer, he should be safe.
The only thing he had to worry about was Xia Country’s suppression.
But what they should be more concerned about now is the alien tribes from the North.
Pei Xiangyun had been lowering her head and fiddling with her fingernails. But when she heard the two words “Yan country” ,
Her ears perked up.
She Imew early on that her sister’s husband was no ordinary person. She could never figure out his identity, and his cultivation was also very high.
She suspected that he was a wandering disciple from down the mountain. Now hearing this conversation, it seemed to be the case.
Both of them referred to the mortal world – only members of the sect would use such a term.
Which sect does her brother-in-law belong to?
She hesitated to tell her father about the extraordinary deeds of her highly accomplished brother-in-law.
Because she was really afraid that her father would cause trouble for her brother-in-law, and her sister had also instructed her to keep it a secret, and not to cause any additional problems.
With regard to Zhao Huai, her view has shifted from initial contempt to reverence.
Her own sister’s husband is truly formidable.
Seeing Zhao Huai’s nonchalant attitude, Yan Jing sighed, “Brother Zhao,
Jinzhou is not a place to stay for long, neither is the mortal world.”
“Brother Yan, what news have you received?”
Zhao Huai knew Yan Jing’s character, he never wasted effort on useless matters, he immediately asked seriously.
“All I know is that the Immortal and Demon Sects seem to be taking action, but
I’m not sure what exactly.”
“The Immortal and Demon Sects?” Zhao Huai paused for a moment.
News that even Yan Jing didn’t know?
Isn’t he known for being omniscient?
Yan Jing took out a Treasured Wooden Token from his sleeve. It was entwined with branches and enveloped in green light.
“If it’s fated, use this to find me.”
Zhao Huai took the token, looked at the big characters on it, his eyes revealing surprise.
“Brother Yan, are you…”
“Yes, I am a disciple of the Medicine Pill Valley.”
Yan Jing smiled and said, “All these years I have travelled all around the world, gone from place to place, finally settling in Jinzhou. I encountered you by sheer luck. Jinzhou is indeed a good place, but there’s always sorrow in parting. It’s time to leave.’
“I’m sorry, Brother Zhao, I’ve been keeping this from you all these years.”
“No problem …”
Zhao Huai laughed bitterly, without any sign of being upset.
Because he himself was also hiding his identity, how could he blame Yan Jing? Yan Jing turned around, locked the door, looked at the air of Zhao Huai, and smirked:
