Chapter 64

When Yun Che said this, Xia Yuanba's mouth opened wide, his eyes almost popping out in shock. Murong Ye's eyes narrowed, and the look he gave Yun Che instantly turned cold and mocking, with a faint sneer. But Lan Xueruo didn't get angry at all; instead, she smiled and said, "What an interesting little junior brother. It seems the days ahead won't be so boring anymore. Well, Senior Sister won't chat with you anymore. I have to attend a banquet this evening, and there might be a fierce battle. We need to go to the Medicine Hall to prepare some useful pills. See you later."

"Senior Sister, see you later."

Lan Xueruo playfully winked at Yun Che with her left eye, smiled, and left, taking with her a faint, gradually fading fragrance. Although Yun Che's words had a bit of a frivolous tone, they clearly didn't offend Lan Xueruo; instead, they deepened her impression of him, making it unlikely for her to forget him.

Yun Che turned his head and stared at her graceful and charming back, not hiding his admiration... She was stunningly beautiful, with a noble and extraordinary aura, yet she was not arrogant but rather gentle and warm-hearted. She was truly a girl that men found hard to resist... However, her identity was also bound to be far from simple.

A hand hit Yun Che's shoulder unfriendly. Yun Che turned around and saw Murong Ye looking at him coldly. He smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Murong, what can I do for you? Speaking of which, aren't you going with Senior Sister Xueruo?"

Lan Xueruo had walked far away without turning back to call Murong Ye, seemingly not even noticing that he wasn't with her... It seemed their relationship was completely different from what he initially thought. It was mostly one-sided on Murong Ye's part.

Murong Ye's eyes narrowed, and he showed a look of disdain and contempt, his gaze like he was looking down on a lowly inferior person. "You're Yun Che, right? Little Junior Brother Yun, I don't know what means you used to get into our Class One, but as your senior, I have a few things to remind you. Since you're in Class One, you'd better learn what you should and shouldn't do, so you don't end up regretting it later. Also, remember this: stay away from Lan Xueruo, the farther the better. If I see you talking to her like that again, I have plenty of ways to make you leave the New Moon Mystic Hall. Hmph."

After saying this, he cast a cold and fierce glance at Yun Che and Xia Yuanba, then quickly walked in the direction Lan Xueruo had left. He knew Xia Yuanba's background, just a merchant's son from a remote small city. So his brother-in-law must also be a small character with no background, and he had no qualms about lecturing him.

Yun Che glanced at his back with a cold smile, "This guy, his eyes are almost on the top of his head."

"He's always like that, I'm used to it," Xia Yuanba said, looking both angry and helpless. Usually, he didn't take much notice of the various looks Murong Ye gave him, but this time it was clearly a threat to Yun Che, which made him furious. But thinking of the other's strength and background, he couldn't do anything. Otherwise, he would be fine, after all, he had a Deputy Hall Master backing him, but Yun Che might really not be able to stay in the New Moon Mystic Hall.

"It seems this Murong Ye has a significant background," Yun Che murmured.

Seeing that Yun Che wasn't angry, Xia Yuanba felt a bit relieved and whispered, "His father is the City Lord of New Moon City! Not only that, his talent in mystic cultivation is also quite astonishing. He's only nineteen this year and is already at the Eighth Level of the Mystic Realm! It's said he's about to break through to the Ninth Level of the Mystic Realm. In the entire New Moon Mystic Hall, no one dares to provoke him."

"City Lord's son? Huh, I see." Yun Che laughed softly, then suddenly asked, "Is he pursuing Lan Xueruo?"

"Uh-huh. Senior Sister Xueruo is beautiful and gentle, and many senior brothers like her. However, she and Senior Brother Murong are considered a perfect match, and no one dares to compete with Senior Brother Murong, so the senior brothers who like her never dare to get too close to her." Xia Yuanba added strangely, "You're the first person I've seen who dared to talk to Senior Sister Xueruo like that. In the future, you must be careful of Murong Ye. Although he's very powerful, he has a narrow mind."

"I can see that," Yun Che shrugged, but didn't seem to take it to heart. He then asked, "Yuanba, where does this Lan Xueruo come from? It's clear her family background is not ordinary. Why did she come to the New Moon Mystic Hall?"

Xia Yuanba shook his head, "I don't know. I only know that she seems to be a distant relative of Elder Sikong, and she entered the Mystic Hall at the same time as me during the public recruitment half a year ago. As for where her hometown is, she has never mentioned it. But Senior Sister Xueruo is very powerful. She is eighteen this year and is already at the Eighth Level of the Mystic Realm, the most talented person in this batch, even more talented than Senior Brother Murong."

Both at the Eighth Level of the Mystic Realm, Murong Ye is nineteen, while Lan Xueruo is eighteen, clearly showing that Lan Xueruo's talent surpasses Murong Ye's.

Xiao Yulong reached the Third Level of the Mystic Realm at twenty, making him the first among the young generation of the Xiao Clan. Xia Qingyue reached the Tenth Level of the Initial Mystic Realm at sixteen, making her the first talent in Liuyun City in a hundred years. But both Murong Ye and Lan Xueruo clearly far surpass Xia Qingyue, let alone Xiao Yulong. And at this level, there are certainly many such young talents in the major sects of New Moon City. In comparison, Liuyun City, a forgotten small city, is truly far behind in terms of mystic power. Grandfather Xiao Lieling, at the Tenth Level of the Spirit Mystic Realm, is the strongest in Liuyun City, but in New Moon City, he would likely only be in the upper echelons among peers, not at the top.

"Yuanba," Yun Che's expression became serious, "There's a very serious matter I need to discuss with you."

"Uh, what is it?" Seeing Yun Che's face, Xia Yuanba immediately became nervous.

"From now on, don't call me brother-in-law!" Yun Che said seriously.

"Why?" Xia Yuanba's eyes widened.

Yun Che patted Xia Yuanba's shoulder and glanced into the distance, "Senior Sister Xueruo said there are many beauties in our class, right?"

"Uh, it seems so. But Senior Sister Xueruo is the most beautiful."

Yun Che's eyebrows slightly tilted, and he said with a righteous air, "Since there are so many beauties in our class, if you keep calling me brother-in-law, won't it expose that I'm already married! How can I flirt with those beautiful senior sisters and junior sisters!"

"..." Xia Yuanba opened his mouth, his brain freezing for three seconds before he weakly said, "But brother-in-law, you already have my sister. If you... um, with other girls... wouldn't that be a bit..."

"It won't, it won't," Yun Che waved his hand and said seriously, "I told Senior Sister Xueruo that your sister won't oppose me finding other wives, and she really agreed to it. Besides... whether I can see your sister again in this life is uncertain."

Yun Che looked into the distance, his eyes becoming profound, "A man's ultimate pursuit in life is no more than two things: conquering the world and conquering women. Conquering the world is to reach a sufficient height in life, while conquering women is to embellish the scenery of life. If you can't conquer the women you want to conquer, even if you conquer the whole world, you will still be alone on a peak, surrounded by loneliness. Yuanba, do you think what I said is right?"

"..." Xia Yuanba didn't quite understand, but it sounded very impressive.

"Then, if you don't call me brother-in-law, what should you call me?" Because Yun Che and Xia Qingyue were betrothed as children, Xia Yuanba had always called Yun Che brother-in-law. Apart from brother-in-law, his not-so-flexible brain couldn't think of anything else to call him.

"Hmm, this issue... you can call me Big Brother, Boss, Brother Yun, Brother Che, Brother Yun Che, or just Yun Che or Senior Brother Yun... just don't call me brother-in-law."

"Oh, oh! Then I'll call you Boss, is that okay?"

"Sure."

"Boss, Boss, Boss... Hmm, it feels a bit strange. Right, Senior Sister Xueruo said she's going to the Medicine Hall to get some pills for the evening banquet. Should we go too? As a new member of the Mystic Hall, you can immediately get a supply of pills from the Medicine Hall. You can get one every month."

"..." Don't call me brother-in-law.

"Oops, I forgot. I'll be careful. So, should we go to our residence first or to the Medicine Hall?"

"!@#￥%……"

...

Yun Che followed Xia Yuanba to the Medicine Hall and received a supply of pills. These pills didn't disappoint Yun Che... they were all low-grade Return Mystic Pills and Mystic Passage Pills, with a quality of about four to five out of ten. Such low-level auxiliary pills were far inferior to those of major sects, which is why the average strength of the New Moon Mystic Hall always lagged behind.

Sikong Han arranged Yun Che's residence next to Xia Yuanba's. Although the space was small, it was quite elegant and had everything needed, much better than Yun Che had expected. After wandering for half a year, Yun Che finally had a place to rest and sleep, and he felt a sense of relief.

Lying on the small bed, Yun Che quickly fell asleep. He had been sleeping outdoors for half a year, never staying at an inn, and hadn't enjoyed sleeping in a bed for half a year. This sleep was particularly comfortable and peaceful, from noon until evening, until Xia Yuanba's knocking woke him up.

"Brother-in-law, are you awake? The banquet is about to start. Are we going?"

Knowing what might happen at the banquet, Xia Yuanba didn't want Yun Che to attend, fearing he might be challenged and deliberately injured.

Yun Che opened his eyes and quickly got up from the bed, "Of course we're going! Wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

---

At the center of the New Moon Mystic Hall was a large, sparse bamboo forest. In the middle of the bamboo forest was a grand hall exuding a solemn aura. It was the largest and most luxurious building in the entire New Moon Mystic Hall, straightforwardly named the "Main Hall." Important matters in the hall were generally handled here. The banquet for the new Hall Master's inauguration was also held in the Main Hall.

When Yun Che and Xia Yuanba entered the Main Hall, there was less than half an hour before the banquet was scheduled to start, but less than one-fifth of the seats were occupied, and most of them were people from within the Mystic Hall. This was clearly not because the invited sects couldn't arrive earlier, but because they all considered themselves important and didn't want to arrive early.

At the same time, it was also a sign of their disregard for the New Moon Mystic Hall.
