Anyone with keen eyes can sense that Jiang Shengyi's attitude towards Jun Xiaoyao is somewhat unusual.
If it weren't known that Jiang Shengyi is Jun Xiaoyao's aunt, some might even mistake them for a couple.
Because these two truly look like a perfect match.
Of course, whether the situation is actually like this is of no concern to anyone.
After all, Jiang Shengyi is merely Jun Xiaoyao's nominal aunt.
Moreover, although Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Rou refer to each other as sisters, they are not biological sisters.
Jiang Rou glanced at Jiang Shengyi with some confusion, as if she had thought of something, a hint of playful laughter hidden in her beautiful eyes.
"Is this little girl Shengyi trying to set her sights on my son?"
Jiang Luoli's big eyes revealed even more suspicion.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off.
However, thinking of Jiang Shengyi's identity, Jiang Luoli felt it should be unlikely.
Seeing the sly smiles on some of the Jiang family members' faces, Jiang Shengyi couldn't help but blush.
Even her delicate ears were tinged with a rosy hue, turning red to the roots.
Jiang Shengyi, possessing an innate Dao body, usually appears as serene as a maiden, as ethereal as a celestial being.
She had never shown such a shy demeanor before.
Some young men from the Jiang family stared wide-eyed.
As for Jiang Daoxu, he glanced at the two and sighed slightly, "Xiaoyao, do you really think your grandfather is such a selfish person?"
"Of course not," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
"Rest assured, Xiaoyao, no matter what you do, your grandfather supports you. The Wang family thinks they can threaten you with my life? They can forget it!"
Jiang Daoxu's tone was very resolute.
He would rather die than let Jun Xiaoyao suffer humiliation from the Wang family.
"That's right, Young Master, you did nothing wrong. We all support you!"
"The Wang family from the North is nothing to us; we, the Jiang family, are not afraid!"
The surrounding Jiang family members shouted loudly, rallying behind Jun Xiaoyao.
Watching this scene, even someone as aloof as Jun Xiaoyao felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
He had only just arrived at the Jiang family, yet they supported and trusted him so much.
How could Jun Xiaoyao let down his maternal family?
Taking a deep breath, he asked, "Is it really impossible to find the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass?"
Jun Xiaoyao was determined to save Jiang Daoxu's life.
If it truly came down to it, even if he had to mobilize the Jun family's power, he would force the Wang family to hand over the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass.
Of course, this was an extreme measure.
Jun Xiaoyao would not resort to such actions unless it was absolutely necessary.
Jiang Daoxu likely would not agree to the Jun family clashing with the Wang family for his sake.
After all, the Jun family already had enough enemies.
Adding the Wang family from the North would only increase the pressure.
At this moment, Hua Yuanshu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly spoke, "I have heard that the last known location of the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass seems to have come from the Ancient Burial Grounds."
"It seems that the Wang family's Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass was also obtained by chance from the Ancient Burial Grounds."
Hua Yuanshu's words caused some Jiang family members present to change color subtly.
The Ancient Burial Grounds—what kind of place is that? It is an absolute forbidden zone.
Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to mention it, fearing some unseen calamity.
"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Hua Yuanshu.
Previously, he had slapped Hua Yuanshu into submission, and he should have hated him intensely.
Yet now, he was providing information.
This made Jun Xiaoyao suspect that Hua Yuanshu had some ulterior motives.
However, Jun Xiaoyao still sought confirmation from the elder members of the Jiang family.
"It is indeed true. There were rumors of the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass in the Ancient Burial Grounds, but it is uncertain whether it really exists," an elder from the Jiang family confirmed.
In this regard, Hua Yuanshu was not lying.
"Then why not go to the Ancient Burial Grounds to search for it?" Jun Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.
If the Jiang family knew there was news of the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass, they should have sent people to investigate and obtain it.
Yet the Jiang family had not sent anyone to the Ancient Burial Grounds.
"The Young Master does not know. The Ancient Burial Grounds is a forbidden area, not within the three thousand Dao States of the Wild Heaven Immortal Domain. It is filled with various oddities and great terrors; it is very perilous," an elder from the Jiang family said helplessly.
Only then did Jun Xiaoyao understand.
The Ancient Burial Grounds were likely similar to the seven incredible places he had heard of in the Immortal Domain.
They represented some great cause and effect, great strangeness, and great terror.
It was definitely not a place ordinary people could venture into.
An elder from the Jiang family continued to explain to Jun Xiaoyao.
It turned out that if a powerful cultivator entered the Ancient Burial Grounds, they would attract the attention of terrifying beings within, like a bright light in the dark—too conspicuous and difficult to approach.
And for weaker cultivators, even if they could get close to the Ancient Burial Grounds, it would be hard to delve deeper, as they simply lacked the strength to survive.
Thus, over time, few beings in the Immortal Domain dared to venture into the Ancient Burial Grounds.
Moreover, there were many strange legends and mysterious burial beings within.
That area had become a forbidden land that ordinary people avoided.
After listening, Jun Xiaoyao finally understood why the Jiang family found it difficult to delve into the Ancient Burial Grounds.
"Since powerful cultivators cannot enter, and weak cultivators also cannot go, why not let me go?" Jun Xiaoyao casually suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice from the system echoed in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, a new sign-in location has been refreshed. Please sign in at the Ancient Burial Grounds!"
Hearing the system's prompt, Jun Xiaoyao's resolve to go to the Ancient Burial Grounds strengthened.
However, upon hearing this, everyone present changed color.
Especially Jiang Daoxu, Jiang Rou, Jiang Shengyi, and Jiang Luoli, who all turned pale.
"Xiaoyao, you cannot go to such a dangerous place," Jiang Rou said directly.
"Xiaoyao, the Ancient Burial Grounds are too dangerous," Jiang Shengyi added.
"Brother Xiaoyao, you can't go to such a place; it's very terrifying," Jiang Luoli also urged.
Jiang Daoxu spoke up as well: "Xiaoyao, your grandfather understands your intentions, but that place is too dangerous, and it may not even have the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass. There's no need to go."
Jun Xiaoyao's relatives firmly opposed his decision.
Hua Yuanshu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Jun Xiaoyao's actions were exactly what he wanted.
If Jun Xiaoyao were to die in the Ancient Burial Grounds, it would be the best outcome for him.
"Grandfather, do you still not believe me? What could possibly be difficult for me?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled lightly.
The Ancient Burial Grounds, which ordinary people feared, seemed trivial in Jun Xiaoyao's words.
"Xiaoyao, if you grow stronger in the future, going to the Ancient Burial Grounds would be fine, but it's too early for you to go now," Jiang Daoxu shook his head.
Currently, Jun Xiaoyao was the cherished one of both the Jun and Jiang families.
If he were to perish in the Ancient Burial Grounds, the consequences would be unimaginable for both ancient families.
Jiang Daoxu would rather sacrifice his own life than let Jun Xiaoyao take such risks.
"Grandfather, my mind is made up. And mother, please don't persuade me anymore. I, Jun Xiaoyao, will definitely go to the Ancient Burial Grounds!"
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was resolute, leaving no room for disagreement.
No matter how dangerous the Ancient Burial Grounds were, he, Jun Xiaoyao, would go there without a doubt!
