Chapter 78 Background?
Given Yin Ming's strength, countless forces would be eager to win him over if he were to reveal it. Yet, such a peerless master is willing to stay by Liu Yue's side.
The old man paused, then said, "Could it be that Yin Ming is..."
"Grandpa, you're overthinking it!"
Liu Yue said helplessly, "I met him in the Wuwang Mountains. At that time, he was trapped. By chance, I broke the seal, and he has been following me ever since."
"I see."
Grandpa Jun nodded: "Yin Ming is indeed quite good, how about..."
"Grandpa, you're here again!"
Liu Yue interrupted the old man before he could finish speaking.
She said helplessly that although she liked Yin Ming's appearance very much, beautiful things can only be appreciated. If she really possessed them, they would not be so beautiful.
"Ok."
Grandpa Jun said helplessly, "The child is all grown up now, and we can't control him anymore."
"It's getting late, go to bed early."
"Okay." Liu Yue nodded. "Grandpa, you should get some rest too."
After saying that, he got up and left the study.
In the study, Old Master Jun watched Liu Yue's departing figure and sighed, "Rou'er, the child has finally grown up and can no longer be kept."
……
The news of the Jun family's marriage proposal spread throughout the entire capital, and Yin Ming's reputation for cruelty also spread far and wide.
Some cultivators who wanted to participate in the marriage proposal had to give up their plans.
"I heard that the guard by Miss Jun's side is extremely brutal! He was killed before he could even get close, and his death was extremely gruesome!"
"Who would dare to go? The eldest daughter of the Jun family will probably never get married in her lifetime."
"Tsk tsk tsk, yes! So what if she has high cultivation? If such a bad reputation spreads, who in the entire capital would dare to marry her?"
Inside the teahouse, several men were having a lively discussion.
"Exactly, that's right, so cruel! Who would want to marry her?"
"puff--!"
At the next table, Shi Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"why are you laughing!"
The man who was talking about it with great interest just a second ago turned around and looked at Shi Yin.
"Marry whom? Marry you? Don't you even know if you're worthy?" Shi Yin said nonchalantly, even though she didn't like Jun Liuyue.
However, it must be admitted that Jun Liuyue is indeed very strong.
With such talent and skill, these men are saying no one wants to marry her?
How ridiculous!
"You brat!" The man was enraged and grabbed the teacup, about to smash it at Shi Yin.
He was stopped, subdued, and thrown out by Shi Yin's guards.
"A bunch of shameless men," Shi Yin sneered.
Outside the teahouse.
The man was thrown right at the doorway, at the feet of a hunched-over man.
"Where did this stinking beggar come from!"
The man kicked the beggar, who fell to the ground.
"unlucky!"
"you!--!"
The beggar clenched his fists, but seeing that there were two or three people on the other side, he got up and took two steps back.
"Here, this is for you." Shi Yin walked out, tossed out a string of spirit stones, and strode away.
The beggar glanced down at the spirit stone in his arms, wanting to throw it away, but then, considering his situation, he hid it inside his clothes.
But he hadn't gone far when he was surrounded by a group of beggars who demanded that he hand over the spirit stones.
He was naturally unwilling to hand it over, and as a result, he was caught and given a severe beating.
In the end, he lost the spirit stone and was also severely beaten.
He was kicked into a corner, curled up, his messy hair brushed aside.
His face was filthy; if anyone familiar with Sikong Yu were here, they would certainly recognize him.
That's right, this beggar is Sikong Yu.
During the palace coup, Sikong Yu narrowly escaped death and intended to return to the palace.
but--
However, it was learned that Emperor Sikong had been trampled to death by a demon beast, leaving behind a will that would allow Sikong Xi to inherit the throne.
Sikong Yu simply did not believe that Emperor Sikong would pass the throne to that good-for-nothing Sikong Xi!
But it was too late for him to know that Jun Liuyue had led the Xuanwu Army to orchestrate the palace coup, and even the demonic beasts were inextricably linked to Jun Liuyue.
After the incident, he sought help from the ministers who had previously supported him.
But those ministers were timid and afraid of trouble, and dared not stand up at all.
Even Grand Tutor Ning left Tianyan overnight.
These days, the Xuanwu Army has been secretly searching for him, so he can only hide among the beggars.
Who would have thought that just a month ago, he was still the high and mighty Crown Prince!
In just one month, he became a beggar that everyone hated.
All of this is because of that bitch Jun Liuyue! If it weren't for Jun Liuyue... he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Jun Liuyue, you wait. One day, I will trample you under my feet and make sure you can never rise again!" Sikong Yu said through gritted teeth.
"Get lost, you stinking beggar! Get out of here."
A passerby kicked Sikong Yu.
……
Early the next morning.
"No, something terrible has happened, Master! The young lady has gone missing!"
Long Zhen rushed over.
Grandpa Jun had been prepared for this for a long time, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"This was left by the young lady at Chaoyue Pavilion."
Long Zhen took out a brocade box.
The old man opened it and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. "Fifth-grade pill?"
The old man instantly perked up, even standing up excitedly. "Could I be hallucinating from the sudden exertion?"
"The young lady is already a fifth-grade alchemist?"
Long Zhen was greatly shocked, but considering the young lady's talent, he felt it was quite normal, after all, the young lady had brought too many surprises!
There are too many to count.
"Not only that, the young lady also left a box full of pills, saying they can change a cultivator's physique." Long Zhen's heart was filled with shock.
As the young lady mentioned before, although Xuanwu Army has good cultivation talent, they could go even further if they could change their cultivation physique.
But Long Zhen didn't expect that the young lady would refine so many pills, there must be tens of thousands of them.
These pills are enough to buy the entire Tianyan realm!
“The young lady has been in seclusion for the past few days. Could it be that she has been refining pills?” Long Zhen was greatly shocked.
I don't know how long the young lady has been refining them, but even a high-level alchemist might not be able to refine so many pills in a lifetime.
"Oh, by the way, the young lady also left a letter for you, the head of the family."
Long Zhen took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Old Master Jun.
When Grandpa Jun opened it, he saw that the handwriting was neat and tidy. "Grandpa, I left a letter, so it doesn't count as leaving without saying goodbye, right?"
Grandpa Jun smiled helplessly, "This girl... she's really thoughtful, but... sigh."
The old man sighed deeply, "That brat, really! I don't know what to do with her."
He raised his hand to wipe the moisture from the corner of his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Patriarch, there are people requesting an audience outside. They seem to be from the Divine Soul Hall and the Myriad Beasts Sect."
Outside the door, a guard's voice came reporting.
Grandpa Jun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, put the letter in his pocket, and said, "Tell them to wait in the hall."
hall.
"You old scoundrel, this girl is a promising beast tamer. What right does your Divine Soul Hall have to snatch her?"
The elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect scoffed, "Only the resources of my Myriad Beasts Sect can bring out her full potential!"
"Shut up! Whatever your Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has, my Divine Soul Hall also has!" The Divine Soul Hall elder crossed his arms.
"Heh, if I remember correctly, it was your Divine Soul Hall who declared this girl a waste, with no talent for cultivation, making her a laughingstock for years. If I were this girl, I wouldn't even give your Divine Soul Hall a second glance." The elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect raised an eyebrow and said dismissively.
