205: Chapter 205 The Fate of the Sun Family

The three of them were shocked, not because of the Sun Family's betrayal, but because of Xiao Yuchen's strength. He fought three Elders from Fire Cloud Valley alone, and in the end, the three of them had to trade information for their lives. In Xiyue Prefecture, besides the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects, who else could achieve this?

Thinking of this, Qing Feng felt a wave of lingering fear. He had actually been harboring a traitor by his side. Fortunately, it hadn't been long, and the other party probably hadn't sold out the Sect's intelligence yet, otherwise, wouldn't he have become a sinner against the Sect?

"Brother Xiao, thank you for the information you provided. I will definitely slaughter that beast with my own hands to give you an explanation, and to give the Qingyun Sword Sect an explanation. Additionally, welcome to join the Qingyun Sword Sect. With your strength, you can be directly promoted to a Sect Elder."

Actually, Xiao Yuchen didn't care what status he entered the Qingyun Sword Sect with; he wouldn't be staying in the Qingyun Sword Sect for long anyway. He was only joining the Qingyun Sword Sect because he wanted to use their Teleportation Array to travel to other prefectures.

However, he didn't refuse this benefit either. After all, with the status of an Elder, it would be more convenient for him to do things, and he could also take care of Wen Ruyu.

After chatting with everyone for a few more sentences, Qing Feng hurried away from the City Lord's Mansion.

In the blink of an eye, three more days passed. Fire Cloud Valley did not send anyone again; apparently, the Valley Master Huo Yun had also given up on the idea of revenge.

Besides that, Mu Yunfeng received news from the Sect: Sun Jie had been slapped to death by Elder Qing Feng, and the Sun Family in Jinghai City not only stopped the war but also ceded half of their territory to Qingshan City.

The war, which had lasted for two long years, finally ended. Qingshan City achieved the final victory. The common people cheered and celebrated throughout the land; all of this was thanks to Xiao Yuchen.

Originally, after resolving this matter, Mu Yunfeng should have returned to the Sect, but this guy just insisted on staying at the City Lord's Mansion and wouldn't leave, chasing after Xiao Yuchen every day to discuss the Dao of the sword; he was just one step away from becoming an apprentice.

It wasn't that he didn't want to become an apprentice, but Xiao Yuchen wouldn't accept him. However, Xiao Yuchen was not stingy at all and often discussed Sword Technique with Mu Yunfeng.

Seeming to fear that delays might lead to complications, the Qingyun Sword Sect handled the procedures for Xiao Yuchen to join the Qingyun Sword Sect early on and delivered the Elder token to Xiao Yuchen's hands overnight.

Just like that, before Xiao Yuchen had even set foot in the Qingyun Sword Sect, he had already become an Elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect, with a status second only to the Sect Master. This was the benefit brought by strength.

"Xiao Chen, the common people have been celebrating these past few days. Shouldn't our City Lord's Mansion also celebrate a little?" Dongfang Shuo came to Xiao Yuchen and asked.

"You are the City Lord of Qingshan City. Why are you coming to ask me about such things?" Xiao Yuchen was surprised in his heart, always feeling that something was not right.

"Right, I am the City Lord, but the things in the City Lord's Mansion are simply unpalatable; I usually don't eat them. Why don't you take out some of your collection for everyone to taste? I've even prepared the bowls and chopsticks."

Ever since he ate the food that Dongfang Qingcheng brought back last time, Dongfang Shuo had been thinking about it incessantly, always wanting to find an opportunity to eat it again. Now, he finally had an excuse.

"Hey, Uncle Dongfang, I seem to be a guest at the City Lord's Mansion. Since when does the host invite people to dinner, and the guest brings their own food?"

Xiao Yuchen was speechless; it turned out this guy had been coveting his delicious food all along.

"Xiao Chen, don't worry about these details. I will prepare the Gale Leopard. How about you prepare the other things? You don't need to make too much, just enough for the six of us to eat."

Because he was worried that Wen Ruyu might be in danger, Wen Ruyu and Wen Qing had been staying at the City Lord's Mansion. Adding Mu Yunfeng and the Dongfang father and daughter, there were six of them in total.

"Fine, it's rare for you to ask for something, so how could I refuse?"

Following this, the City Lord's Mansion's cafeteria was handed over to Xiao Yuchen. However, all the head chefs of the cafeteria remained here. This was arranged by Dongfang Shuo, saying it was to help Xiao Yuchen, but in reality, they were here to steal the craft.

Regarding this, Xiao Yuchen didn't mind. He took out another set of equipment like gas stoves and taught the chefs how to use them. Then, he prepared a lot of various seasonings and handed them over to the kitchen.

After all the side dishes were prepared, two guards delivered two Gale Leopards to the kitchen.

Xiao Yuchen was speechless. It seemed that ever since he arrived in this Cultivation World, the number of Gale Leopards had significantly decreased. Actually, he had just picked a random Gale Leopard at the beginning, and the other animals were the same.

However, he didn't want to explain. If he let these people know, they would probably eat all the Yao Beasts in the Cultivation World. Fortunately, their strength was not strong enough, otherwise, they would even have to taste Dragon meat.

Just like that, Xiao Yuchen got busy in the kitchen. Although Dongfang Shuo didn't come, he sent his daughter to help. As for what his purpose was, only he himself knew.

Besides Dongfang Qingcheng, Wen Ruyu naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to spend time with Xiao Yuchen and proactively came over to help.

Two hours later, Xiao Yuchen made a dozen of his signature dishes: roasted whole leopard, meat skewers, stewed leopard meat, and bone soup—everything was available. Besides that, Xiao Yuchen took out another pile of drinks and white liquor.

Looking at the table full of delicacies he had never seen before, Mu Yunfeng was stunned for a long time. Ever since he reached the stage of Inedia, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten anything. However, today, he couldn't help himself because these dishes were simply too fragrant.

When the last bone soup was served, everyone could finally no longer hold back and started eating.

As an Elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect, Mu Yunfeng originally wanted to be reserved, but seeing that the few of them had instantly eaten half of the meat, he became anxious and started eating frantically.

"Delicious... so delicious! Hey, don't grab it! Leave some for me!"

After a big meal, the three of them—Xiao Yuchen and the others—started drinking frantically again. In the end, the three of them were drunk again and were carried away by the guards.

The next morning, Xiao Yuchen woke up suddenly. Ever since he arrived in the Cultivation World, he had always been very cautious; this was the first time he had been so relaxed.

Sitting up from the bed, he discovered that Wen Ruyu and Dongfang Qingcheng were asleep by his bedside. Clearly, these two women had watched over him for the whole night.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't touched, but there was no helping it; he just couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart.

Seeming to sense movement, both women woke up at the same time.

"You're finally awake. It's almost noon. Don't drink so much next time." Wen Ruyu didn't forget to urge him.

"Exactly. Yesterday, you three drank six cases of alcohol. Father and Senior Mu are still sleeping right now," Dongfang Qingcheng said with a smile.

"I'm fine. You two don't need to stay here to keep me company?" Xiao Yuchen felt a bit guilty in his heart.

"Brother Yuchen, who is Li Yiran? Is she your Dao Companion? Is it because of her that you are unwilling to accept us?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen was jolted awake. He looked at Wen Ruyu and said, "How do you know about Li Yiran?"

"You were talking in your sleep all night yesterday, constantly calling Li Yiran's name. Do you miss her very much? Where is she? Why don't you go find her?" Wen Ruyu asked curiously.

As a Cultivator, Xiao Yuchen could control his seven emotions and six desires. However, he had been quite happy yesterday and had completely let himself go. Coupled with the numbing effect of the alcohol, he had relaxed his vigilance, which was why he talked in his sleep.

"It's not that. She is just an ordinary person, without a Spiritual Root for cultivation, and cannot embark on the path of cultivation. Moreover, she is not in Xiyue Prefecture, and I cannot go find her for the time being."
