Xuan Bing blandly said, “That is why I know about this place so well. I know that there is indeed a Town of Ye. The medical materials there are quite valuable. He didn’t say something stupid, but it was a persuasive excuse to cover your true intent.”

She looked at Han Bingxue and nodded to sneer, “He was in good luck. I know he made it up, but what he made up turned out to be the truth. Well, I believe he doesn’t know it yet.”

Han Bingxue was far in the distance from them. He saw Xuan Bing nod to him, so he thought Elder Xuan was praising him. That flattered him a lot. Although he was still suffering from that pain, he tried to make a smile that he thought was handsome. He kept the two hands behind the back and made a rakish posture.

Ye Xiao saw it and laughed out loud.

Han Bingxue was such a pistachio! [1]

“There is a reason why the three great palaces didn’t go deep into Oracle District. People in this area are always weak in cultivation, however, they still have talented ones. Nature’s power polishes the living things. Because of the specialty of this district, some people are always gritty and red-blooded.”

“It’s funny. That is some personality that is attractive to girls.” Xuan Bing smiled implicitly. It seemed she was talking about some people she knew.

Ye Xiao thought about it, but he didn’t understood. “Attractive to girls? Why? I don’t see that.”

Xuan Bing hesitated for a while and said, “Maybe it’s just their nature. Men here are always more brave and righteous. They are always warm-blooded. They are real men, who are much better than those foppish fools out there. How are they not attractive to girls?

“There was a story in this place that is famous… Ye Clan in Town of Ye had a genius young man, Ye Nantian. When Yue Gongxue, the saintess of Qiong-Hua Palace, came to collect their medical materials, she was attracted to him… They fell in love for the first sight…”

Ye Xiao looked weird on the face as he heard what Xuan Bing was saying.

[Ye Nantian… Yue Gongxue…]

[They…]

Ye Xiao stayed silent for a while and suppressed the emotion that was rising up in his heart. He said, “Isn’t it… abnormal? Love is the nature’s law. A man and a woman fell in love. That’s the nature’s call. It has nothing to do with the specialty of this place. You are just forcibly connecting the two irrelevant things. That’s absurd.”

Xuan Bing smiled and said, “Maybe you are right. Or maybe not…” She didn’t go on with it.

Ye Xiao had a weird feeling. [I feel that Elder Xuan Bing knows my background.]

[Does she know my real identity? Where I am from?]

[How does she know that?]

[It doesn’t make sense!]

He thought for a while and then was enlightened. [Hmm. She knows that I am related to Bing Xinyue and Wenren Chuchu. Of course, she knows something about the Land of Han-Yang from the two ladies. Maybe they drew her a picture of mine? And told her my real identity? Even my father, Ye Nantian? That will explain all!]

[After all, I have the capability to make Regeneration Ink Lotus. They both know. Besides, we used to be allies in this matter.]

[Regeneration Ink Lotus is an important thing to their entire sect. They would have to report to them.]

He felt relieved after he thought he had known the truth.

[But… It is reasonable that she knows about me. Why doesn’t she say it?]

“Back to the days, on the mountains around Town of Ye, the most precious medical material was Regeneration Ink Lotus.” It seemed Xuan Bing was trying to explain something. “This time, I am here to see if there is still such a lotus in that place. I guess you understand why it is so important for our sect.”

Ye Xiao said, “Oh. I do. Yes. Absolutely.”

In fact, he just felt it hilarious. [She seems to be clinging to this matter. She is still trying to explain why she would come with us… It seems she cares about it so much? She started on Han Bingxue’s excuse, to tell me that it was a coincidence. Then she talked about the story and the lotus that concerns her sect. It seems she is trying to cover a lie!]

[But we don’t care about it!]

[Isn’t she holding a candle to the sun? Drawing four feet for a snake? Busying for nothing?]

“It’s Thousand Peak Mountain.” Han Bingxue said from the front, “At the foot of the mountain, it is the territory of Song Clan.”

Han Bingxue knew why Ye Xiao wanted to go to Town of Ye. He also knew his story down in the lower realm. He knew the relationship between Ye Xiao and Song Jue. He believed Song Clan must be their friends. At least they were connected to Ye Xiao.

That was why he said it when they were about to enter Song Clan’s place.

“That’s soon…” Ye Xiao looked at the smoke rising. It was noon. [Look at the smoke from the houses. They must be cooking?]

“Shall we?” Han Bingxue looked at Ye Xiao.

“Let’s find somewhere to settle down,” Ye Xiao answered in a low voice. He was lost in thoughts. Then he turned to Xuan Bing, “What do you think, Miss Xuan?”

“Sure.” Xuan Bing rolled up her eyes.

[You have made the decision… You asked me after you said it. What do I think? I think no? Can I say disagree?]

Something looks close but is always far away.

That was such wisdom. They had seen the smoke, but it still took them one hour to get to the town.

The three of them had just gotten into the town, trying to find a place to rest. Suddenly, lots of horse steps sounded. A calvary troop came out from nowhere like a whirlwind. If they weren’t quick enough to move aside, they could have crashed on the horses.

Ye Xiao frowned.

[They just ran so fast in the town? They didn’t make turns or slow down any bit. They just rushed out like that. If I am not this flexible, I guess I could have been killed by them!]

[How could they overwhelm like that?]

[Isn’t it bodacious?]

The one who rode in the front was a young man wearing a white suit. He looked handsome but arrogant. His horse was white like snow, big and tall. He kept his nose up and laughed out loud. He looked spirited as he ran across the town center.

Ye Xiao humphed.

He seemed to hear people whispering in fear, “Get away… It’s the third young lord of Song Clan…”

[The third young lord of Song Clan?]
