Remember for a second 【↘→】, providing you with a wonderful novel reading experience. Ye Wuque's action immediately made everyone feel astonished.

Didn't you, Ye Wuque, hear Feng Cai Chen's words, "Those who come within ten meters of me must leave an arm behind"?

After Liu She was clearly humiliated, Ye Wuque still dared to step forward. Could he be trying to test Feng Cai Chen's sword?

In fact, in everyone's mind, Ye Wuque had already been deeply remembered. The slander of Zhou Lieryang, the Purple Fire City Lord of Baiyuan World, the bold slap Ye Wuque gave, and his victory over Zhou Huo, who held a high-quality ordinary weapon, in the Yuanyang Hall—each of these events made people remember him deeply.

It could be said that now, in the eyes of these young geniuses, Ye Wuque was no longer an unknown minor character but a peer strong enough to be treated with utmost respect.

Seeing Ye Wuque holding a pot of wine and two cups, it seemed he wanted to drink with Feng Cai Chen. However, would Feng Cai Chen give him this face?

No one was optimistic.

When Ye Wuque walked past the three people from Snake Spirit City, the third brother, Lin She, suddenly twitched his nose, touched the black shadow wrapped around his arm, and revealed a sinister smile, his eyes flashing with greed as they stared at Ye Wuque.

And Liu She, with narrowed eyes, watched Ye Wuque approach Feng Cai Chen, a cold snort in his heart, waiting to see Ye Wuque being driven away by Feng Cai Chen, hoping that the two would fight right there.

"Big Sister, Second Sister, Sister Yingluo, do you think Brother Ye won't be driven away by Feng Cai Chen?"

With her big eyes tightly fixed on Ye Wuque, Xiao Baiou spoke with some worry.

Lin Yingluo and Mo Honglian also focused their gazes on Ye Wuque, but unlike Xiao Baiou, they were not worried but rather filled with anticipation.

"Feng Cai Chen has no arrogance but has a strong sense of pride, and his standards are extremely high. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is seen as an incredibly arrogant and difficult person to get along with. Those who don't understand him will never understand him, because he is a swordsman."

Mo Honglian suddenly said these words, making Xiao Baiou feel surprised.

"Big Sister, what do you mean? I don't understand!"

"These words were not said by me, but by my master when he mentioned Feng Cai Chen."

"Oh, but I still don't understand."

Seeing her third sister's adorable expression of deep thought, Mo Qingye lightly covered her mouth and smiled.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Ye Wuque walked steadily, his steps calm, gradually approaching the ten-meter mark from Feng Cai Chen.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two figures not far away, ready to watch Ye Wuque's battle with Feng Cai Chen.

"Thump"

With a light step, Ye Wuque's left foot crossed into the ten-meter range Feng Cai Chen had set, and then his right foot followed, maintaining his original pace, slowly approaching Feng Cai Chen.

This scene made everyone's breathing slightly pause. Feng Cai Chen did not attack Ye Wuque, allowing him to slowly approach.

Especially Liu She, who suddenly felt several gazes filled with ridicule sweeping over him, as if he were being watched like a monkey.

Instantly, his teeth clenched, a sense of humiliation rising in his heart, making him furious.

He, Liu She, wanted to approach Feng Cai Chen but was stopped at ten meters, forced to retreat in frustration.

Yet Ye Wuque calmly crossed the ten-meter boundary and walked directly to Feng Cai Chen's side.

This was like slapping Liu She's face right in front of him!

Feng Cai Chen's actions were telling everyone present that Liu She was not worthy of standing by his side.

In an instant, Liu She's resentment towards Feng Cai Chen surged, and he also began to hate Ye Wuque.

Gently sitting opposite Feng Cai Chen, Ye Wuque placed one of the two cups in front of himself and the other in front of Feng Cai Chen, pouring bamboo leaf green wine into both.

The fragrant, clear green wine filled the air, and Ye Wuque raised his cup to Feng Cai Chen with a smile.

Looking at Ye Wuque sitting opposite him, Feng Cai Chen's clear eyes flashed with a light, like the excitement and thrill of finally finding a worthy opponent in a vast sea of people.

"Clink"

The two green cups gently touched, and the two white hands holding the cups drank the wine in one go.

The refreshing and smooth taste of bamboo leaf green and the warmth it brought to the stomach made Feng Cai Chen's eyebrows twitch.

"Good wine."

Praising the bamboo leaf green, Feng Cai Chen picked up the wine pot, poured a cup for Ye Wuque, and then refilled his own.

"Clink"

The clear sound of the cups touching rang again, and the two drank another cup.

After drinking two cups of bamboo leaf green, feeling the warm and comfortable sensation in his stomach, Ye Wuque slightly narrowed his eyes.

Then Ye Wuque stood up, picked up the wine pot, poured a third cup for Feng Cai Chen, and then put down the pot, turning back without looking back.

Holding the green cup in his hand, Feng Cai Chen looked at the bamboo leaf green in the cup and the empty cup opposite, his clear eyes filled with a burning and sharp light, and a deep smile.

The moon was high in the sky, exceptionally bright.

Unconsciously, the night had deepened, and the bright moonlight continuously poured down, the moonlight falling on the flower terrace, making countless flowers seem to be bathed in moonlight, as if adorned with a light silver edge. A gentle breeze occasionally blew, and the flowers swayed, their fragrance spreading, making the area within a hundred meters seem like a tranquil and beautiful utopia.

The path of cultivation is a balance of tension and relaxation.

If one buries oneself in hard practice all day, with nerves taut, ignoring the passage of time, it will only lead to bottlenecks, irritability, and ultimately, even to mental breakdown and being trapped in a mental barrier.

If one indulges in pleasure all day, enjoying beauty and indulging in laziness, it will lead to a weakening of the mind, a softening of will, and an inability to practice, ultimately leading to a wasted life and becoming a failure.

Only by combining the two in an orderly manner can one relax the mind, free the spirit, and get rest without slackening practice and wasting time, advancing steadily on the path of cultivation, which is like rowing against the current.

This was also another purpose of the geniuses sitting around the stone table, besides wanting to learn more about each other.

In the past three days and nights, everyone had been on high alert, fighting beasts, seeking treasures, and engaging in intense battles with others.

Although their cultivation had improved in the short three days and nights, it had also left a layer of dust on their minds and wills.

Therefore, appropriate relaxation was what they needed most at the moment, rather than continuing to bury themselves in hard practice.

"This breeze feels so comfortable!"

Xiao Baiou closed her eyes in contentment, the swelling on her face from the slap already gone, and she would fully recover in a few days after applying good medicine.

"Yes, but this moment of peace and tranquility is what we have fought for."

Refilling everyone's cups, Mo Honglian smiled, her face charming with a gentle smile.

"Mo Sister is right. In Baiyuan World, although we have gained much, the journey has not been easy. A slight mistake could have led to our elimination."

Ye Wuque caressed his wine cup and spoke softly.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Lin Yingluo's cold eyes, the experiences of the past three days and nights flooding her mind, making her feel as if it were all a dream.

Drinking the bamboo leaf green in one go, Ye Wuque's eyes moved, and he smiled at the four women. "Now that we have endured the harsh process, it's time for us to reap the rewards."

He then stood up, left the stone table, and walked towards Sima Ao's small building. The four women, though puzzled by Ye Wuque's intentions, followed his lead and stood up, following him.

The five moved quickly, and in a moment, they were at the door of Sima Ao's building. Ye Wuque knocked, and Sima Ao immediately opened the door.

After a day of healing, Sima Ao's injuries had stabilized, though his face was still somewhat pale. He should be fully recovered in a couple of days.

Welcoming the five into the building, Sima Ao asked in a deep voice, "Why did you all come to me? Did something happen?"

Seeing the five come together, Sima Ao immediately thought something had happened, his expression slightly serious.

"Ha ha, nothing, I called everyone here to save the trouble of visiting each one individually."

Laughing and waving his hand, Ye Wuque spoke softly.

Hearing this, Sima Ao breathed a sigh of relief, though he couldn't be blamed for his reaction. The three days and nights in Baiyuan World had kept his nerves on edge.

"Alright, Brother Wuque, what's the secret you're keeping from us? You can tell us now, right?"

Mo Honglian, knowing Ye Wuque's actions had a purpose, smiled and asked.

At that moment, Ye Wuque no longer hid anything and said to the five, "The Yuanyang Inheritance has been obtained by me."

"Ah, Brother Ye, I thought it was something else! Of course we know! The scroll and storage ring that Zhou Huo held were taken by you!"

Xiao Baiou, hearing Ye Wuque's words, immediately spoke eagerly.

The other four had similar expressions.

Anticipating the five's reactions, Ye Wuque was not in a hurry and continued, "The inheritance I'm talking about is not just the storage ring and scroll, but the true Yuanyang Inheritance!"

Ye Wuque then recounted in detail how he entered the Yuanyang Inheritance, met Ji Yuanyang, passed the three trials, and entered the Yuanyang Crystal Stream, without any concealment.

In Ye Wuque's heart, after the three days and nights of hard battles in Baiyuan World, he had already considered Mo's three sisters, Lin Yingluo, and Sima Ao as his true friends.

To his friends, Ye Wuque would not hide anything except for some secrets he couldn't reveal.

"Wow! Brother Ye, I didn't expect you to have such good luck! The three trials must have been very difficult!"

Xiao Baiou listened with excitement, unable to contain her surprise.

"No wonder you could meet me in such a special way. It turns out there was more to the Yuanyang Inheritance."

Sima Ao, suddenly understanding, realized why Ye Wuque had met him through the light screen.

"Who would have thought that not only is Brother Wuque powerful, but his fortune is also deep, discovering the secret of the three Yuanyang Orders. If this were known, it would make a lot of people jump with anger."

Mo Honglian, as always, hit the nail on the head.

Lin Yingluo and Mo Qingye did not speak, but smiled slightly, seemingly
