Chapter 61

The sound made Yun Che pause for a moment, and he turned around, somewhat dazedly looking at the tall man in front of him... No, it was a teenager! But just by his physique, no one would believe he was only a fifteen-year-old boy. Standing at a height of two meters and three, his body was astonishingly muscular, with each muscle bulging high. Standing there, he was like a small mountain.

"Yuanba! What are you doing here?" Yun Che asked, his face full of surprise. This astonishingly tall and large teenager was none other than Xia Qinyue's younger brother, and his only childhood friend from start to finish—Xia Yuanba!

"Brother-in-law, it really is you!" Seeing Yun Che's face, Xia Yuanba's voice grew even louder, his face full of joy as he rushed over. As he ran, the ground trembled slightly, and from the look of it, he might just give a bear hug. Yun Che couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and instinctively took two steps back... If he were to be hugged, a broken bone would be the least of his worries.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!" Yun Che quickly waved his hands, stopping the almost overjoyed Xia Yuanba, then looked him up and down and asked again, "Yuanba, what are you doing here?"

"This should be what I ask you, Brother-in-law." Xia Yuanba's face was flushed with excitement: "Half a year ago, I heard you were expelled from home. I searched for you for many days but couldn't find you. Phew, it's really great that you're fine. I thought something had happened to you and didn't sleep well for half a year."

Xia Yuanba's joy and concern were entirely genuine. In this world, apart from Xiao Lie and Xiao Lengxi, the only one who truly cared about him was Xia Yuanba, his childhood friend. Yun Che felt a wave of emotion and stepped forward to pat his muscular arm: "Don't worry, I'm very tough, nothing can happen to me. Being expelled from the Xiao family was actually a good thing. The outside world is much more exciting than the Flowing Cloud City where we've been for over a decade. I've been traveling west from Flowing Cloud City for half a year and only arrived in New Moon City today. You're here... not in the New Moon Mystic Mansion?"

Yun Che glanced sideways at the prominent sign of the New Moon Mystic Mansion.

"Hehe, Brother-in-law is indeed smart, I'm now in the New Moon Mystic Mansion." Mentioning the New Moon Mystic Mansion, Xia Yuanba's face showed a hint of pride: "I came here half a year ago and even entered the first class of the Mystic Mansion."

"First class? Is it hard to get in?" From Xia Yuanba's tone, this "first class" seemed very impressive.

"Of course." Xia Yuanba nodded, looking proud: "The first class is personally supervised by the Grand Elder of the Mystic Mansion. The entry requirements are the highest. Either you must have sufficient talent, or... hehe, you must have sufficient connections."

Yun Che remembered that half a year ago, Xia Yuanba was at the Fourth Stage of the Initial Mystic Realm. At his age, this level could only be considered average, with no relation to "sufficient talent." So it must be the latter. Yun Che looked suspicious: "Your family has a connection with the New Moon Mystic Mansion?"

Xia Yuanba smiled a bit sheepishly and said: "Oh, actually, my grandfather used to come to New Moon City frequently when he was young and made a good friend there. Later, my grandfather's friend became one of the Deputy Mansion Lords of the New Moon Mystic Mansion. So, I entered the New Moon Mystic Mansion without an examination and even got into the first class."

"Let's not talk about that. Brother-in-law, have you been alone all this time? Have you found a place to stay in New Moon City? What are your plans next?" Xia Yuanba asked anxiously, his concern evident. He knew Yun Che too well—average constitution, never left Flowing Cloud City before the age of sixteen, and most importantly, his Mystic Vein was crippled, leaving him without even the ability to protect himself. It was hard for him not to worry.

"Is the Grand Elder who personally supervises your first class called Sikong Han?" Yun Che didn't answer Xia Yuanba's questions but looked up and asked. His height wasn't short, but standing in front of Xia Yuanba, he felt like he had come from a land of dwarfs.

"Um, yes. It's Elder Sikong. Brother-in-law, you just arrived in New Moon City, how do you know Elder Sikong?" Xia Yuanba scratched his head and asked.

"He and my grandfather had a connection. Before I left Flowing Cloud City, my grandfather asked me to find him," Yun Che said.

Hearing this, Xia Yuanba's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "That's great! Elder Sikong has high prestige in New Moon City and is very kind. If he knows Grandpa Xiao, he might be able to arrange a place for you to stay... Hmm, it would be even better if he could arrange it in the New Moon Mystic Mansion."

Yun Che smiled: "Then take me to see him."

Actually, Yun Che didn't plan to stay in New Moon City for long. The world was vast, and there were many places for him to train. However, he didn't want to waste his grandfather's efforts and wanted to see if he could get any opportunities from Sikong Han.

"Oh, okay." Xia Yuanba nodded immediately but suddenly paused, scratching his ear: "But, I'm not sure if we can see him today. It's the inauguration of the new Mansion Lord today, and there's a celebration banquet in the evening. I heard all the famous sects in New Moon City will be there, so Elder Sikong is probably busy preparing."

After thinking for a moment, Yun Che said: "In that case... let's still go to his place. It would be best if we can see him, but if not, we'll try again tomorrow."

"Oh, okay."

Immediately, Xia Yuanba led Yun Che to the gate of the New Moon Mystic Mansion. At the gate, they were stopped. A young man guarding the gate blocked Yun Che: "Non-disciples are not allowed to enter."

Xia Yuanba quickly said: "Senior Brother Zhan, he's my brother-in-law, and he has something to find Elder Sikong."

The young man, called "Senior Brother Zhan," had a stern face and said solemnly: "Usually, disciples can bring one person in, but not today. There's a celebration banquet for the new Mansion Lord this evening, and all the elders are busy and can't see guests. If you have something, come back tomorrow."

"Um..." Xia Yuanba could only look at Yun Che helplessly.

Yun Che thought for a moment, then took out the wooden token his grandfather had given him and said: "I wonder if this token can let me see Elder Sikong now?"

"Senior Brother Zhan" glanced at the token casually, then his eyes widened and he frowned: "This is... Elder Sikong's Seven Mystic Token? Oh, you should have shown it earlier, please come in."

He withdrew his arm, stepped back, and gestured for Yun Che and Xia Yuanba to enter.

Yun Che had just tried it casually, but it actually worked. After entering the New Moon Mystic Mansion, Xia Yuanba looked surprised: "Brother-in-law, how do you have Elder Sikong's Seven Mystic Token? This token is only given to the seven closest people of each elder. With this token, even people from the New Moon Mystic Mansion can enter at any time."

"This token was given to my grandfather by Sikong Han years ago, perhaps to make it easier for my grandfather to visit the New Moon Mystic Mansion," Yun Che explained, thinking: Sikong Han actually gave such a token to my grandfather, it seems the favor my grandfather did for him back then wasn't a small one.

Then, Xia Yuanba led Yun Che directly to the direction of the Elder Hall, introducing the New Moon Mystic Mansion and his experiences over the past half year along the way.

At this moment, a somewhat unusual voice from Jasmine suddenly echoed in Yun Che's mind: "This person, is he your friend?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Yun Che was surprised that Jasmine would ask about Xia Yuanba.

"How old is he?"

"Fifteen and a half."

"Fifteen and a half..." Jasmine pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "This person actually has the Tyrant Emperor Mystic Vein!"

"Tyrant Emperor... Mystic Vein?" Yun Che's steps paused, and he frowned: "What does that mean?"

"His Mystic Vein is very special, twice as wide as an ordinary person's, and even the structure is different. This Mystic Vein is called the Tyrant Emperor Mystic Vein. Even in the divine... well, in short, it's an extremely rare Mystic Vein. If I were in my birthplace, a person with this Mystic Vein would surely dominate a region and be crowned emperor. But here, it's a waste! His body is excessively tall because of his Tyrant Emperor Mystic Vein. In the Initial Mystic Realm, it's not obvious, but once he enters the Mystic Realm, his Mystic Power matures, and from then on, every level up requires at least ten times the effort of an ordinary person! And for his entire life, he can only stop at the Mystic Realm, never breaking through to the True Mystic Realm."

Yun Che: "..."

"Brother-in-law, we're here."

Just as Yun Che was about to ask more, Xia Yuanba had already pulled him to stand in front of an Elder Hall.

"I'll check if Elder Sikong is here."

Xia Yuanba was about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened, and a man in dark robes, looking to be in his forties or fifties, walked out. Seeing him, Xia Yuanba hurriedly greeted: "Elder Sikong, you're here, that's great."

This man was precisely the Sikong Han Yun Che was looking for, though he looked younger than Yun Che had imagined. Seeing Xia Yuanba, he smiled warmly: "Oh? Yuanba, what brings you here?"

"It's my brother-in-law, he has something to find you." Xia Yuanba moved aside, revealing Yun Che, who had been completely blocked by his massive body.

Yun Che stepped forward and said politely: "Elder Sikong, I am Yun Che from the Eastern Flowing Cloud City. I wonder if Elder Sikong remembers an old friend from Flowing Cloud City named Xiao Lie?"

"Xiao Lie? You mean Xiao Lie?"

Hearing this name, Sikong Han reacted far more than Yun Che had expected. He quickly walked over, grabbed Yun Che's shoulders with both hands: "Where is he? Has he come to New Moon City?"

Yun Che shook his head: "No. Grandpa is still in Flowing Cloud City. I came here following Grandpa's wishes."

After saying that, Yun Che took out the Seven Mystic Token and placed it in front of Sikong Han.

Sikong Han took the token, sighed softly, and said with a sigh: "It's been seven years. I've always wanted to visit Flowing Cloud City to see him, but I've never managed to do so. I hope this time, I can repay some of his kindness from back then."
