The Game with Fairies-Chapter 263 - Elder Yan Enters the City

Chapter 263: Elder Yan Enters the City

Inside the Hall of Enforcement, two young subordinates under Li Muyang were worried sick because of him.

But Li Muyang himself didn’t care as he walked out of the Hall of Enforcement and headed alone towards the tavern outside the city lord’s mansion.

Although rumors of people wanting to harm or assassinate him were escalating in the city, and Li Muyang could often feel the murderous gazes hidden in the shadows when he walked on the streets, he was not afraid at all.

On this land where cultivation was banned, his Martial God Tyrant Body was more than enough to walk unchallenged.

This was also why those rumors had been circulating for months but remained just rumors.

Li Muyang had turned down all banquet invitations and all attempts by others to get close to him, spending his days either playing games at the office or in the small courtyard inside the city lord’s mansion.

His monotonous routine of going back and forth didn’t give anyone the chance to plot against him.

And this very monotony in his daily life gave those with ill intentions no opportunity to strike.

No one dared to attack Li Muyang on the streets.

They neither had the strength to do so nor the means to attack Li Muyang in public and escape unscathed.

Li Muyang leisurely arrived at the tavern outside the city lord’s mansion and, as usual, ordered a few teas and settled into a private room.

Soon after, his little sister Li Yuechan came in with a tray of dishes.

“...Brother, the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect has returned.”

The girl whispered as she knelt beside him to serve the food.

Li Muyang nodded: “I have to go welcome him tonight. All sect members of the third rank Lotus Member and above have to go to the outskirts of the city to meet him.”

As he spoke, Li Muyang looked at his little sister: “Now that Fang Yingtian has returned, shouldn’t Elder Yan’s plan start?”

“Previously, when Fang Yingtian was not in the city and took many of the Blood Lotus Sect’s experts with him, it was the best opportunity to strike...”

Now that Fang Yingtian had unexpectedly returned early, this gave Li Muyang a bit of a headache.

Yan Xiaoru, who had been biding her time, wouldn’t delay things further, would she?

But he saw his little sister shaking her head with a mischievous smile: “Brother, are you in a hurry? Don’t worry, Elder Yan said her plan is progressing steadily.”

“We’re still in the preparation stage. Fang Yingtian’s early return doesn’t affect the execution of our plan.”

“In fact, Fang Yingtian’s return is actually part of our plan.”

“This time, we’re not only going to sever the link between the Four Directions Cauldron and the earth’s veins, but we also plan to gather the Blood Lotus Sect’s high-ranking members and catch them all in one fell swoop!”

“So Fang Yingtian’s return is actually a good thing.”

“Elder Yan is currently planning everything, so you don’t need to be anxious.”

“I met with Elder Yan last night, and she told me a lot, asking me to tell you not to be hasty. Everything is proceeding steadily.”

The girl said, smiling playfully: “It’s a pity the timing isn’t right. Otherwise, it would be nice if Elder Yan could talk to you in person.”

“After being apart for so long, Elder Yan must miss you.”

Li Yuechan teased her brother with a giggling smile.

Li Muyang, however, was startled: “Yan Xiaoru has entered the city?”

Damn...

Previously, Yan Xiaoru had always been outside the city, but now she had risked coming in...

Li Muyang frowned and asked: “What is she doing in the city? If we’re not taking action, why take the risk?”

Li Yuechan blinked innocently: “I’m not sure, I’m too lowly to dare to ask too much...”

After speaking, the girl cheerfully got up to leave, bowing and saying loudly: “Banner Master Li, I shall take my leave.”

Li Muyang waved his hand dismissively: “Go on, get out.”

This little girl, deliberately leaving her words hanging, was making him itch with curiosity.

The news of Yan Xiaoru entering the city made Li Muyang, who had been content playing games, restless.

If this damn woman had come to the city and even met with Yuechan, why didn’t she take the opportunity to meet with him?

How infuriating!

Inside the private room, Li Muyang let out a frustrated sigh.

......

Three hours later, outside Tianjiao City.

Under the dark night sky blanketed by stars, the official road outside Tianjiao City was lit up with many large lotus lanterns.

Figures in Blood Lotus Sect robes lined up in front of the road, waiting in formation.

Various demonic beasts patrolled the surroundings, maintaining order.

The welcoming ceremony for the return of the Blood Lotus Sect leader to the city was indeed grand.

Standing at the forefront were the various Helmsmen and Incense Masters of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Following them were the Banner Masters of the various branches and incense halls.

Li Muyang stood among the team from the Hall of Enforcement, alongside the other three Banner Masters, with the head of the Hall of Enforcement, Ruan Mei, in front of him.

Wrapped in a thick cloak, Shen Yan was not standing in the lineup.

A small tent was pitched in an open space beside the official road, where Shen Yan sat on a soft couch, wrapped in a thick cloak, with a hot charcoal brazier in front of her.

Despite the summer night’s heat being almost uncomfortable for ordinary people, Shen Yan still couldn’t do without her charcoal brazier.

Li Muyang guessed that this might be because Shen Yan’s twin sister, Shen Miao, was trapped in the Four Directions Cauldron, and the two sisters shared some kind of symbiotic and strange state.

Perhaps once Shen Miao was rescued from the Four Directions Cauldron, Shen Yan could be free from this frail and cold-sensitive condition.

As Li Muyang pondered, he suddenly felt a hostile gaze upon him.

Although he had made countless enemies within the Blood Lotus Sect, there weren’t many who would dare to show hostility towards him in such a setting.

Li Muyang turned his head and saw a woman in a scholar’s robe not far away looking at him provocatively.

Seeing Li Muyang looking over, the beautiful woman dressed in men’s clothing revealed a cold smile and raised an eyebrow at him.

“Li Muyang, you still dare to show your face around here... I thought you had already hidden away, playing the turtle with its head drawn in.”

Nangong Ting, the former junior valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley and one of the four Incense Masters of the Blood Lotus Sect, had not met with Li Muyang since the turmoil in Tianjiao City.

Now that they had finally met again, this woman who had once been tortured to the point of begging for death by Li Muyang in prison was filled with a cold murderous intent in her eyes.

Faced with the hostility of his old enemy, Li Muyang remained incredibly calm.

“Incense Master Nangong, could it be that you still hold a grudge over past events?”

Nangong Ting cracked a smile, her expression cold: “Hold a grudge? I am not a person of narrow-mindedness.”

“It’s just that I’ve heard the rumors in the city lately that you, Banner Master Li, have been arrogant and overbearing, making countless enemies. Many wise people wish to take your head.”

“I’m quite concerned about this. How about you come to my residence tomorrow for a visit, and we can discuss this matter in detail?”

Nangong Ting said with a smile: “My father also has a fresh memory of you, Banner Master Li, and would very much like to see you again.”

Nangong Ting’s smile was radiant.

Li Muyang, however, glanced at the other Helmsmen and Banner Masters lined up in front of him and shook his head.

“I’m busy tomorrow, some other day...”

Go to the house of this twisted freak for a hongmen banquet? (Hongmen Banquet=Last Supper)

I’m not crazy; how could I possibly go to such a setup?

Rather than wasting time with you, a woman who likes to dress in men’s clothes, I’d be better off going home to play games.

Wait until I release the infant spirit from the Four Directions Cauldron, then we’ll see how rampant the Blood Lotus Sect can be!
