My Fairy Growth System

The following day.

Xiang Yu frowned as she sought out Yu Qingtan.

"Qing Tan, the City Lord's Mansion has sent a message; they want me to take you there."

Yu Qingtan felt a stir in her heart, "Has it finally come?"

She smiled at Xiang Yu and said, "Then let's go."

Seeing Yu Qingtan smile, Xiang Yu did not say anything else and walked with her toward the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord of Tianxiang Immortal City was naturally held by someone from Tianxiang Valley.

When the two arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they were led by guards into a parlor.

As Xiang Yu entered, she saw three women with distinct auras sitting upfront.

Surprised, she quickly gave her respects and said, "Xiang Yu pays her respects to Elder Martial Aunt Li Xueying, Elder Martial Aunt Luo Qingwei, and Elder Martial Aunt Yan Qiuyue!"

Yu Qingtan also bowed deeply and said, "Qing Tan pays her respects to Elder Martial Aunt Li Xueying, Elder Martial Aunt Luo Qingwei, and Elder Martial Aunt Yan Qiuyue!"

Real Person Li Xueying was a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator from Tianxiang Valley and the City Lord of Tianxiang Immortal City.

Real Person Luo Qingwei was an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator from Tianxiang Valley and the Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Real Person Yan Qiuyue was an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator from Tianxiang Valley, Vice Hall Master of the Talisman Hall, mother of Yan Xi, and dao partner of Ruan Fan.

"Hmph, you, a mere Qi Practitioner, dare to address us as Elder Martial Aunts; have you no understanding of propriety?"

Real Person Yan Qiuyue looked dissatisfiedly at Yu Qingtan and scolded her.

"Oh, come on, she's the named disciple of Elder Martial Sister Rou Jia. It's not incorrect for her to address us thus.

Qing Tan, we've called you here because there are some matters we need to understand, and you should cooperate fully."

Real Person Luo Qingwei spoke indifferently.

Real Person Yan Qiuyue couldn't directly oppose her, but her gaze toward Yu Qingtan was filled with ill will.

"Thank you, Elder Martial Aunt Luo Qingwei, Qing Tan will certainly cooperate," Yu Qingtan replied.

"Xiang Yu, you may leave now," she was instructed.

"Yes, Elder Martial Aunt."

After Xiang Yu left, Real Person Luo Qingwei began to question Yu Qingtan, while the other two Real Persons continued watching her closely.

"Qing Tan, do you know Ruan Fan?"

"I had a brief encounter with him on the day I joined Tianxiang Valley, Elder Martial Sister Xing Ruo introduced him to me, mentioning he was Real Person Yan Qiuyue's dao partner."

"Have you seen Ruan Fan since then?"

Yu Qingtan lied without a change in her expression, and even her heartbeat and pulse remained steady.

"You're lying!" Real Person Yan Qiuyue shouted loudly.

"Elder Martial Sister Yan Qiuyue!" Real Person Luo Qingwei looked at her with some displeasure.

"On the day you left Tianxiang Valley for Tianxiang Immortal City, there was a confirmed message that Ruan Fan followed you out of the valley. Did you really not encounter him?"

Yu Qingtan showed a mix of confusion, shock, and fear as she replied, "Elder Martial Aunt, I truly haven't seen Elder Martial Uncle Ruan, but why would he follow me?"

"What about the Spirit Crane you rented?" Real Person Yan Qiuyue couldn't help but interject.

This time, Real Person Luo Qingwei did not say anything; she also wanted to ask this question.

"I returned the Spirit Crane as soon as I arrived at Tianxiang Immortal City!" Yu Qingtan said, still feigning bewilderment.

"Hmph, I think she's just telling lies with her eyes wide open. We should take her back to the valley and interrogate her under the Insightful Mirror," Real Person Yan Qiuyue continued to speak out.

"Elder Martial Aunt, I have not lied," Yu Qingtan weakly retorted.

"Enough, Elder Martial Sister Yan Qiuyue. Ruan Fan has just been missing for a short time, and his Soul Lamp is still lit. Perhaps he's gone to take care of some matter; there's no need to involve a Sect Gate Taoist Instrument yet," Real Person Luo Qingwei was becoming slightly irritated with Real Person Yan Qiuyue.

"Hmph, then do you dare to swear by the Heavenly Oath that everything you just said is true?"

Ignoring Real Person Luo Qingwei's displeased look, Yan Qiuyue continued to speak to Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan, "intimidated" by the reprimand from a Golden Core predecessor, looked helplessly towards Luo Qingwei.

Just as Luo Qingwei was about to speak, Real Person Li Xueying interjected.

"Enough, what Qiuyue said makes some sense. Since Qing Tan claims she has told no lies, then why not take a Heavenly Oath to resolve the misunderstanding?"

Seeing this, Luo Qingwei looked at Yu Qingtan.

"Qing Tan, what do you think?"

"Qing Tan is willing to swear by the Heavenly Oath. I, Yu Qingtan, swear from the day I was admitted to the Tianxiang Valley, I have never seen Uncle-Master Ruan Fan again, and the Spirit Crane rented upon arriving at the Tianxiang Immortal City was released immediately after arrival, all of which are true."

Yu Qingtan, thus seeing no alternative, "reluctantly" took the Heavenly Oath.

"Xueying, sorry for the disturbance, I'll take my leave now!"

Yan Qiuyue said goodbye to Li Xueying with a displeased face and left.

"Xueying, we'll also take our leave first," Luo Qingwei said, gesturing for Yu Qingtan to follow her.

Real Person Luo Qingwei pulled out an emerald green flying boat, taking Yu Qingtan towards the Raoliang Tea House.

"Thank you, Luo Qingwei!" On the way, Yu Qingtan expressed her gratitude first.

"Don't mention it, Yun Rong and I come from the same lineage. She has mentioned a lot about you to me, so naturally I would look after you in such a situation."

Luo Qingwei explained briefly, and in the midst of conversation, they had arrived at the Raoliang Tea House.

Such was the speed of a Golden Core Cultivator.

"Alright, I need to return to the valley. You focus on your cultivation and establish your foundation as soon as possible."

"Until next time, Uncle-Master!"

Luo Qingwei transformed into an Escape Light and departed. Yu Qingtan returned to the Raoliang Tea House.

"Qing Tan, are you alright?" Xiang Yu approached her with concern upon her return.

"I'm fine, what could possibly happen to me?"

Yu Qingtan said with a smile.

Xiang Yu felt that this "Junior Martial Niece" was becoming increasingly enigmatic.

Yu Qingtan had anticipated the events of today and had prepared hundreds of contingency plans.

Within the Tianxiang Valley, there were actually three factions: the Family Faction, the Mentor-Disciple Faction, and the Neutral Faction.

Several Golden Core families led by the Yans and the Luos constituted the Family Faction; a few lineages headed by the Sect Leader represented the Mentor-Disciple Faction, and the rest were the Neutral Faction.

Because Tianxiang Valley had originally been based on the mentor-disciple system, the Mentor-Disciple Faction was the most powerful, with Real Persons Rou Jia and Luo Qingwei belonging to this faction.

The Family Faction had gradually separated from the Mentor-Disciple Faction and, having gained significant influence, naturally began to vie for power and profit.

Those who were reluctant to participate became part of the Neutral Faction, with Real Person Li Xueying as one of them.

Now that Yu Qingtan was considered part of the Mentor-Disciple Faction, she naturally wouldn't be easily suppressed or persecuted by the Family Faction.

If she had refused to swear by the Heavenly Oath, in reality, Yan Qiuyue wouldn't have been able to do much to her.

However, Yu Qingtan spared herself the trouble, as it was only a matter of ten Affection Value points.

"By the way, Uncle-Master Xiang, how much do you know about the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm?"

Because Xiang Ru often shared with her the gossip she heard from tea house customers, Yu Qingtan knew that the recent bustle in Tianxiang Immortal City was due to the events involving the Four Talented Youngsters and the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

Xiang Ru might know even more about the matters of the Four Talented Youngsters than Xiang Yu, but Yu Qingtan certainly had to ask Xiang Yu about the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

After the previous Suichuan Immortal City auction, Yu Qingtan had also researched information about the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

She knew it was an ancient relic of the Myriad Beasts Sect, emerging once every millennium, and only allowed Cultivators below the Golden Core to enter.

Upon hearing the question, Xiang Yu was startled, "You also want to venture into the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, Qing Tan? That is a very dangerous realm. The mortality rate for Qi Practitioners is as high as seventy to eighty percent, and even for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it's about thirty to forty percent."

"Qing Tan wants to give it a try."

"Alright, I do have some materials on the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm left by my ancestors. I'll make a copy for you and give it to you tonight."
