Chapter 961 - 961 You’re Not Cute
The next morning, the two of them began a new journey with new identities.
Xue Fanxin was fine. To her, playing An Xiaomeng was just changing her name and hiding her cultivation. She could do anything else.
However, Ye Jiushang could not. He had to work hard to play the role of Ding Ze. Otherwise, he would easily be exposed.
Along the way, Xue Fanxin trained Ye Jiushang hard and asked him to play the role of Ding Ze as soon as possible.
“Ah Jiu, that Ding Ze doesn’t seem to be that cold, so you have to be a little more easy-going. Also, when you speak, you have to remember that you can’t refer to yourself as a Lord, understand?”
“I… understand.” Ye Jiushang deliberately emphasized the word ‘I’, but he was still casual in other aspects.
He only needed to act as Ding Ze in front of others. As for other times, there was no need for him to work so hard.
Flowing Cloud Sect was located in the southern part of Tongxuan Continent, among more than a dozen endless mountain ranges.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a city called Floating Cloud City. It was one of Tongxuan Continent’s major cities, and its prosperity and majesty were not inferior to the Imperial City.
If they wanted to go to Floating Cloud Sect, they had to go through Floating Cloud City first.
Floating Cloud City could be said to be the key location outside Floating Cloud Sect. There were sect stations in the city, and usually, there were people from the sect guarding it.
Although this Floating Cloud City was under the jurisdiction of the Ye dynasty, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. The Floating Cloud Sect was also the boss here, so the officials here often did not dare to have too much conflict with the people of the Floating Cloud Sect. Once there was a conflict, it was usually the officials who gave in.
As time passed, the Floating Cloud Sect became the boss of Floating Cloud City. Even the City Master had to be wary of them.
The Ye dynasty had also tried to deal with this, but the effect was very minimal because the current Ye dynasty was already on the decline. Although it was still the only imperial family in the Tongxuan Continent, in fact, they were not much.
The power of the three great sects and the four great clans gradually grew. The Ye imperial family could not control them at all. It was fine in the Imperial City, but it was hard to get a word in if they were far away from the Imperial City.
When Xue Fanxin arrived at Floating Cloud City, she was very surprised by the prosperity and majesty of this place. She did not expect a place far from the Imperial City to be so prosperous. It was simply a second Imperial City.
“Ah Jiu, what’s delicious here?” The first thing Xue Fanxin thought of when she came to Floating Cloud City was food.
Ye Jiushang teased her. “Please call me Overseer Ding.”
Along the way, he had been lectured by Xin’er. Now, it was finally his turn to lecture Xin’er.
This little girl was simply picking on him on purpose.
“Yo, yo, yo, our Overseer Ding is so cute when he’s angry!”
“Don’t use the word cute to describe me…”
“Alright, alright, alright. You’re not cute. Happy?” Xue Fanxin walked around Ye Jiushang mischievously. As she walked, she admired the things on the street. When she saw delicacies, she went forward to take a look and bought some to eat.
Ye Jiushang followed behind speechlessly and helplessly. He looked at the people walking happily on the streets in front of him and a doting smile appeared on his face.
However, at this moment, a few people in uniform suddenly appeared and blocked Ye Jiushang’s path. They said respectfully, “Greetings, Overseer Ding.”
Xue Fanxin looked up and saw two familiar faces.
These two people were Mu Changfeng and Zhang Qiushan, who had gone to the Heavenly Saint Empire to recruit new disciples.
She remembered very clearly that Zhang Qiushan had been thrown far away by Little Lei. Logically speaking, even if he was not dead, he should have been crippled. Why was he jumping around here?
