Chapter 571: Chapter 317: The Kindhearted Elder

The changes in the Martial World often occur in a flash, seemingly peaceful one moment, yet the next moment, the sky collapses and the earth shatters.

The news of Celestial Sound Mansion colluding with the Celestial Evil Cult spread like wildfire, starting from Little Cold Valley, within a few short days, engulfing the entire Martial World.

In a flash, a single stone sparkled a shocking transformation, and the whole Martial World boiled over.

Some deeply believed this, cursing Celestial Sound Mansion’s despicable shamelessness and the Celestial Evil Cult’s evil collaboration, harming the fellow people of the Martial World.

But there are also those who express doubt about this; Celestial Sound Mansion is originally one of the Three Mansions, Three Gates, and Three Clans, with a prominent position in the Lingbei Martial World, why would they idly conspire with the Celestial Evil Cult?

This would be akin to bringing a wolf into the house or trying to negotiate with a tiger!

Nevertheless, whether they believe it or not, most people are helpless about it, besides ranting, they can’t do anything.

Asking them to question Celestial Sound Mansion, they don’t have the guts.

And amidst this storm, the news of Han Yiren leading a group to hold Celestial Sound Mansion accountable spread across the world.

Some whom Han Yiren invited at the time but were disdainful of the gathering at Little Cold Valley, rushed to join Han Yiren’s group, wanting to collectively hold Celestial Sound Mansion accountable.

Others ridiculed them as mere jesters, not worth mentioning. The real key lies in the attitudes of the other huge entities within Three Mansions, Three Gates, and Three Clans.

If their attitude is calm, no matter what chaos Han Yiren’s group causes, it’s difficult to shake Celestial Sound Mansion’s position.

However, the attitude of Three Mansions, Three Gates, and Three Clans seems somewhat ambiguous; surely they cannot be unaware of this news... yet they’ve done nothing substantial.

At least from the surface, the remaining eight families are as steady as rocks, regardless of rumors from all directions, they remain unfazed.

Other Jianghu People indeed harbor resentment but dare not flaunt it, they can only gnash their teeth, crafting some seemingly vague poems to secretly mock them.

As the Martial World was already in a state of chaos, Chu Qing and his companions were about to leave Liaoyuan Mansion.

Though it was without Yu Shiliu.

Chu Qing brought Yu Shiliu to Little Cold Valley mainly because Li Shengxing was there.

Yu Shiliu entrusted Chu Qing to kill this person, regardless of how genuine this commission is, Chu Qing didn’t take it lightly.

And due to admiring Yu Shiliu’s attitude of resistance, he taught her two Martial Arts.

Currently, Li Shengxing should be with Han Yiren going to Celestial Sound Mansion, so Chu Qing is pondering to wait until they reach Celestial Sound Mansion, then kill this person.

To fulfill the commission Yu Shiliu had entrusted.

But before that, Yu Shiliu couldn’t continue following them.

Soldiers favor swiftness, naturally, they must hurry on their way, and Yu Shiliu’s Martial Arts are newly learned; no matter how talented, she couldn’t compare to anyone present.

Bringing her along was certainly a burden.

Hence Chu Qing found a small town, settled Yu Shiliu there, and gave her some money for her livelihood.

He then headed to Star Split Mansion with Wu Qianhuan, Gentle, Liu Qingyan, and Su Ningzhen.

Because this time they focused solely on traveling, ignoring everything else, their speed significantly increased, and the boundary between Liaoyuan Mansion and Star Split Mansion was already in sight.

At the junction of the two mansions, there is a city named Two Realms City.

This city is peculiar, situated exactly along the dividing line of Liaoyuan Mansion and Star Split Mansion, split in half by a single line, one side belonging to Liaoyuan Mansion, the other to Star Split Mansion.

Therefore, it has two City Lords, each governing half of their respective sides divided by a boundary street.

Two Realms City is bustling with many merchants coming and going, yet to enter the city, one can see various merchant caravans shuttling through Two Realms City.

Some conduct normal business while others are in the slave trade.

As night was falling, although Chu Qing and his companions were eager to travel, they couldn’t truly burn the midnight oil; with sleep necessary, they planned to rest a night at Two Realms City.

Liu Qingyan had already emerged from a state of urgency, realizing that the more chaotic things are, the less one should be impatient.

Her mindset gradually settled, allowing her to consider other matters leisurely.

Seeing Two Realms City ahead, she suggested to Chu Qing:

"Since we’ve arrived at Two Realms City, we can’t miss tasting its most famed roast goose. I’ll host tonight and satisfy everyone’s palate desires. What do you say?"

Chu Qing was momentarily stunned upon hearing this:

"You have the leisure to enjoy delicious food?"

"There’s no use worrying. Man is iron, rice is steel; skipping a meal would make one unbearably hungry. If we must eat, why not enjoy something good?"

Liu Qingyan smiled and continued:

"Moreover, Liaoyuan Mansion has limited culinary offerings, haven’t you heard?

"The Yao’s aroma, the Sangyu’s spice, the Two Realms’ goose is top-notch.

"Yao’s dog meat is the most fragrant, Snowy Fragrant Meat is famed across the world.

"Sangyu City is known for its spice, especially the spicy warming cauldron; the more you eat, the spicier it gets, the more enticing it becomes, leaving one craving more. Those who eat are drenched in sweat, feeling exhilarated!

"Of course, the spiciness going in isn’t easy coming out either.

"During the day, people clink glasses at the table, laughing joyous; at night in the latrine, they groan in pain, baring their teeth, which is a common occurrence.

"As for Two Realms City’s roast goose, every time passing through, you must buy a few; the flavor is truly special.

"It’s said that it’s special because the area around Two Realms City cultivates a kind of fruit tree; although the fruit isn’t tasty, using the wood to roast the goose imparts a unique aroma that makes it irresistible, leaving one drooling."
