99: Chapter 99 I'll Take You Flying

"Why would I have any such thoughts? I doubt those women even want to contact me. After all, I saw them at their most vulnerable. It would be so awkward if we met."

Naturally, as a Cultivator, Xiao Yuchen's perspective had broadened. Whether someone was beautiful or not didn't matter much to him; after all, he could produce a beauty just by casually taking out a youth-preserving pill.

"That's true. If it were me, I'd be too embarrassed to contact you too. It's not that I wouldn't be grateful, it's just that it would be really awkward." Li Yiran nodded.

"Wait, there's a loophole in what you said. You didn't drive a car, so how did you get to a place three hundred kilometers away in such a short time? Plus, the Hehuan Sect is on a mountain, and it was night time." Li Yiran suddenly grasped the key point.

"Uh... do you really want to know?"

"What do you think?"

"How I got there doesn't seem to have anything to do with the case, right?"

"Can't I just want to know? My man is becoming more and more capable, shouldn't I know a bit more? Otherwise, if you were to suddenly leave one day, I wouldn't even know." Li Yiran insisted.

"Alright, then come with me."

Xiao Yuchen brought Li Yiran outside the villa. He wanted to personally demonstrate Sword Flight to her; otherwise, how could she possibly believe him if he just said he could fly?

Li Yiran followed Xiao Yuchen outside the villa, feeling a bit puzzled. She saw Xiao Yuchen walk to an open space and raise his right hand.

"Sword, come!"

As Xiao Yuchen's voice fell, the xuanyuan sword appeared in his hand.

Xiao Yuchen had naturally taken the xuanyuan sword from his System Inventory, but to Li Yiran, it looked like a sword had appeared out of thin air.

"Wow, that's so cool."

The moment the xuanyuan sword appeared, Li Yiran gasped in surprise. She truly couldn't understand how her man had suddenly become so powerful.

Seeing Li Yiran gazing at him with fascination, Xiao Yuchen grinned, "Yiran, do you want to experience Sword Flight?"

"What? You can perform Sword Flight? Isn't that a scene from a Xianxia novel?" Li Yiran was shocked.

"Yes, come here, I'll take you flying."

After speaking, Xiao Yuchen made a claw with his right hand, pulled Li Yiran directly into his arms, then jumped onto the xuanyuan sword and soared into the sky.

Everything happened so suddenly that Li Yiran didn't react until she was already flying in the sky, at which point she let out a cry of surprise.

After a moment, Li Yiran calmed down because she felt Xiao Yuchen's embrace. As long as she hid in his arms, she wouldn't feel afraid.

"Ah, I'm flying! This is amazing!"

Li Yiran shouted excitedly; the feeling of flying was truly too thrilling.

"Yiran, keep your voice down, it's easy for people to misunderstand. Now you know, this is the method I used to go to the Hehuan Sect."

"Mm, Yuchen, you're amazing. Will you take me flying often in the future?"

"Sure, what's difficult about that? But the night air is too cold, let's go back first. Another day, when you're dressed more warmly, we'll fly again."

After a simple flight around the area, Xiao Yuchen took Li Yiran back home.

...

Yanjing, Nangong Family

"Xue'er, you're finally back. Where have you been these past few days? We sent people everywhere to look for you, but we couldn't find any trace of you."

The person speaking was a middle-aged woman, Nangong Xue's mother, Zeng Wenrou. Although she had reached middle age, she still retained her charm.

Beside the middle-aged woman were two men. One was in his fifties; he was Nangong Xue's father, Nangong Xiong, the current head of the Nangong Family.

Although the man didn't speak, one could tell from his expression that he was worried about his daughter.

The other young man was Nangong Xue's younger brother, named Nangong Yu. Although he had just turned twenty, his talent for martial arts was excellent, and he was already at the Middle Stage of the Grandmaster Realm. This was the foundation of the Four Great Families in Yanjing.

"Father, Mother, I went to Suzhou before because I heard the scenery there was very good. But not long after I arrived, I was captured. I almost didn't make it back."

Thinking of the grievances she had suffered these past few days, Nangong Xue couldn't help but shed tears. As a Young Miss of a major Family, she had been locked up in that kind of place for seven whole days; she had almost collapsed.

"What on earth happened? Who has such audacity to dare capture the daughter of me, Nangong Xiong?"

"It was the people from the Hehuan Sect. Their Sect Master Cultivates an evil art that requires gathering the primordial yin Qi of women born on yin days and at yin times to Cultivate. I was captured by them."

"What? It was that old bastard Sect Master Mo Cheng? He actually dared to target my daughter? I must skin him alive!"

Nangong Xiong was furious. He was at the Late Stage of Martial Soul, so he didn't put Sect Master Mo Cheng in his eyes at all.

"There's no need, Father. Sect Master Mo Cheng is already dead, and the entire Hehuan Sect has been wiped out by someone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape," Nangong Xue said truthfully.

"What? Did some major Family take action? To be able to wipe out the Hehuan Sect, the other side must have dispatched at least one Martial King," Nangong Xiong said, as he was quite familiar with the strength of the Hehuan Sect.

"No, the other side had only one person, and he was very young, about the same age as me."

"What? How is this possible? Nangong Yu is already among the best of the younger generation of the Four Great Families in Yanjing, but he is still far from being a match for Sect Master Mo Cheng. Even that Prodigy from the Zhuge Family is only comparable in strength to Sect Master Mo Cheng. How could he possibly wipe out an entire Sect by himself?"

Nangong Xiong didn't believe it; he kept feeling that his daughter had been deceived by someone.

"Father, I'm telling the truth. There were thirty-five of us captured together; the sisters can all testify."

"Then where is he from? What is his name? I'll have someone investigate, and we'll know if the other person is a fraud," Nangong Xiong continued to ask.

"I only know that our benefactor's surname is Xiao, but his accent sounded like it was from Jiangcheng. I don't know anything else. But our benefactor is definitely not a fraud; he not only saved us, but he also withdrew one hundred thousand yuan from the bank to give us as travel expenses."

"When our benefactor left, we wanted to keep his contact information so we could repay him in the future, but he refused. He didn't think about us repaying him at all. Ask yourself, what kind of fraud would do that?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Nangong Xiong also nodded. According to his daughter's description, the other person really didn't seem like a fraud. But in a small place like Jiangcheng, where there isn't even anyone in the Acquired Realm, how could there be a Martial King expert? Not to mention that the person was so young.

"I will investigate this matter. If there really is such a figure in Jiangcheng, then our Nangong Family can befriend him. To reach the Martial King Realm at such a young age, his future achievements will be limitless."

...

Xiao Yuchen naturally didn't know any of this, and he didn't expect that the person he casually saved was actually a Young Miss of the Four Great Families in Yanjing.

Outside Li Yiran's room

"Alright, I forgive you, you go find Dashan." Xiao Yuchen was just about to follow Li Yiran into the room when he was pushed out by her.

"Are you burning bridges after crossing the river? I just took you flying, and you're already chasing me out?" Xiao Yuchen was a bit displeased.

"That... that's because I'm going to sleep. It's already past eleven, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Let's sleep together, it's not the first time anyway." Xiao Yuchen ignored Li Yiran's objections and made a move to rush into the room.

"Hey, alright, you go coax Dashan to sleep first, and come back tonight."
