When the waiter saw the lady’s smiling face, he felt the sanctity of her being and was enamored.

“Waiter?” The lady urged.

“Oh, we only have four third-class rooms left.” The waiter returned to his senses and blushed.

Only four rooms, how was that enough for them?

“Make him get us twenty rooms.” The leader of the group said.

“This…” The waiter was distressed. “Sorry, Master. We have rules here. First come, first serve. We can’t drive those ahead of you out.”

“Can’t?” The man raised his voice up again. The whole inn could hear him.

The lady beside him held him back. “Senior Brother, since there’s not enough here, let’s find another inn.”

After, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Don’t forget our purpose for coming out this time.”

When the man thought of the mission, he coldly harrumphed and flicked his sleeves while leaving. As soon as the leader left, the others left. Before leaving, the lady apologized to the waiter, immediately enamoring him. It took him several minutes for him to recover.

“She’s so saintly and beautiful!” The waiter held his hands to his chest, looking foolish.

Coincidently, the shopkeeper came back from the backyard and saw the waiter in a daze in the lobby. He walked over and slapped him on the head and shouted, “Get to work, don’t stand there like a statue!”

The waiter pursed his lips and went to work. Before that, he had looked outside reluctantly.

“I didn’t expect them to come here. She is actually so strong!” Fatty Qu commented.

“The continent is at large. I didn’t expect to see her again in a few years. Nalan Lan, I wonder how you would react when we meet?” Sima You Yue murmured.

“Nalan Lan acted pretty effectively just now. It seems she is well-adjusted in Sage Pavilion.” Bei Gong Tang picked up her teacup but didn’t drink.

The lady who was just talking below was Nalan Lan. Her senior brother was a disciple of one of the Pavilion Masters.

“It appears that they also came for the Dark Forest. I wonder what’s inside there to make so many people come here.” Wei Zi Qi was more curious than suspicious.

“Speaking of this, I have something to tell you.” Sima You Yue took out a stack of paper. “These are the information recently collected by the Xuan Yuan Pavilion. Outsiders believe that a mysterious Auspicious Beast has appeared in the middle of the dark forest. This caused the changes in the dark forest in the past two years. Recently, many people have come because of the Auspicious Beast.”

When the people of Sage Pavilion came to the inn, she had returned from Xuan Yuan Pavilion. As soon she entered the room, she heard their voices, so she didn’t rush to share this news with them.

“An Auspicious Beast really appeared in the middle of the dark forest?” Fatty Qu’s eyes brightened upon hearing that.

“Do you think it’s possible?” Sima You Yue glanced at him, and immediately, the light in his eyes was extinguished.

“You think this news is false?” Wei Zi Qi asked.

“This information was given to me by the Xuan Yuan Pavilion. I think it should be true, but the information they investigated may not always be true, right?”

“You mean the information about Auspicious Beast is false?” Sima You Le said in suprise.

“When did the Dark Forest change?” she asked.

“More than two years ago.”

“So this Auspicious Beast suddenly appeared?” She asked again.

“Probably.”

“Then, do you think it’s possible that this Auspicious Beast can appear out of thin air?” She continued her barrage of questions.

“If it’s really the Auspicious Beast, it won’t appear so suddenly.” Sima You Ran said.

“Therefore, this news of the Auspicious Beast may be false.” Fatty Qu concluded.

“But this said that some people really sense the aura of the Auspicious Beast, and based on the sounds they hear, it is in its juvenile stage.” Bei Gong Tang pointed to the previous part of the information.

“So, it might be the Auspicious Beast.” Sima You Yue said smilingly.

“If we can reach this point, others can as well. Why are there so many people coming?” Fatty Qu didn’t understand.

“It’s better to believe in the possibility to attain something rather than nothing.” Sima You Lin explained. “Although people may be skeptical about it, a young Auspicious Beast is too tempting for cultivators. So even if the news may be false, they are willing to take the risk.”

If they could contract with the young Auspicious Beast, it would be tantamount to having an expert with them. Don’t focus on its current strength now, but when they grow up, their strength would be unfanthomable. For example, Wu Lingyu’s Fire Qilin, no spirit beast has defeated it as of yet.

Mm, there were few like Little Roar that still needed parenting.

Little Roar knew what Sima You Yue was thinking. It had inconvenienced Halcyon and rolled in the latter’s arm. It just hadn’t completely leave its juvenile stage and as it had constantly suffered injuries, delaying its growth period. Hmph, hmph, wait til it entered its growth period and matured, it would brighten You Yue’s eyes!

“The person who sense the aura of the Auspicious Beast did not say anything at first. There was indeed an auspicious beast before , but whether it was still in its juvenile stage or if it was still here, no one can tell.” Sima You Yue said.

“If we hadn’t seen the Auspicious Beast before, would we also be enticed?” Wei Zi Qi spoke, “So others with strong desire to attain it, they are the ones who are willing to take risks.”

“Are we going to get involved?” Sima You Ran asked.

“I initially didn’t want to, but an old friend is coming this time?” Sima You Yue smiled. “Under the condition of ensuring safety, we can also join the bustle.”

“The ten evils are also coming for this as well.” Ouyang Fei said.

“Tsk—— if those villains attain the Auspicious Beast, that arrangement would look too weird.” Fatty Qu chuckled.

“The place that the ten evils live looks like an ordinary courtyard. My intuition is telling me all ten of them are here.” Sima You Yue took out the last piece of paper which contain information on the ten evils. “I have sent a few scarlet bees to follow them and see if I can attain some information. If possible, we should separate them to deal individually.”

As soon as Sima You Yue finished, her expression changed.

“What’s wrong, You Yue?”

Sima You Yue said solemnly, “The scarlet bees have been discovered. It seems these people’s means are extraordinary.”

In a courtyard of the Green City, a sickly man in white clothes coughed several times while holding onto the tree. At his feet were the bodies of the several scarlet bees.

“Third brother, are you alright?” A man in black with a mole on his chin asked.

“I’m alright.” The man in white waved his hand. He looked at the scarlet bees on the ground, and murmured, “We’re under someone’s watch again…”
