“All right.”

Leader Su acknowledged with a single word, then turned to instruct the guards.

Zhan Beiye, on the other hand, propped his chin with one hand and looked up thoughtfully at the towering peak of Jade Cloud Mountain, calculating in his mind what it would take to safely reach the summit.

After a long while, he still hadn’t come up with a good plan and so, turned his gaze back to Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue.

“Tsk!”

When he saw Qian Jiyun holding delicate pastries and feeding them to An Jiuyue by his side, he truly found it hard to watch.

Sometimes these two really got under his skin, the kind that made him want to curse.

“An Jiuyue, have you discussed with Qian Jiyun?”

“Eat first, then think of a plan,” Qian Jiyun said, giving Zhan Beiye a sidelong glance.

Since the Cold Soul Flower Core was within sight, they would surely find a way to get up there, sooner or later.

“Mm.”

Zhan Beiye nodded understandingly and then continued to set his sights on Jade Cloud Mountain Peak.

What could be done to ascend the peak? Fly? With their current cultivation levels, they couldn’t possibly fly up there, and even if they could…

Meanwhile, the guards under Leader Su’s command had already hunted down demonic beasts and were preparing to roast the meat over a fire they had started.

Looking at those demonic beasts, an idea suddenly lit up in his eyes.

Even if they couldn’t ascend right now, he could at least try to see just how formidable those snakes on Jade Cloud Mountain were.

With that thought, he stood up and strode toward the guards.

…

Among the guards, there was some unrest regarding Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, as An Jiuyue truly hadn’t lifted a finger during the recent battle against the demonic beasts.

They believed she should have been able to help, having witnessed her stow away an entire ship into the Strangling Formation just before.

But during the recent skirmish, not only did she not assist, she even pulled Zhan Beiye, a potentially major asset, aside, therefore causing the guards to end up in a tougher spot.

Just like Gu Qingyu had said, An Jiuyue was truly selfish.

If Leader Sutang wasn’t present, they would have liked to confront An Jiuyue directly and question her why they should battle demonic beasts while she does nothing.

So, while roasting the demonic beast meat, the guards huddled together and whispered among themselves.

“Who exactly are they? They didn’t put in enough effort when slaying the demonic beasts, and Leader Su doesn’t even call them out on it, acting as if nothing’s wrong.”

“Must be the prince’s friends, thinking they can secure a position by his side just because they have some skills. Haven’t we seen plenty of such people?”

“If they continue like this, I’ll definitely not care about what Leader Su thinks anymore, and I must speak out.”

“Exactly. Thinking they can be counselors at King Yaan Residence isn’t so easy. People like them are a dime a dozen under the prince’s command; do we really need these two?”

The guards’ resentment towards Qian Jiyun and his company was truly significant.

Those deployed here by Leader Su were the elite of King Yaan Residence. They had the privilege of direct contact with Xiang Qiyan, which made them quite arrogant; their words were plainly not minced.

Leader Su’s expression darkened as he overheard their hushed voices.

But to tell the truth, at this critical junction, he couldn’t really do anything to them. Finding the Cold Soul Flower Core was his priority. He took a deep breath, resigning himself to the fact that Qian Jiyun and his spouse would have to bear with this discomfort for the time being.
