Chapter 176: You Better Not

In Cloud Margin City, the Gong Clan was a rather well-known clan as well . They had their own King Realm cultivator, and regular organizations would not wish to provoke them for nothing .

Unfortunately, the patriarch of the Gong Clan had encountered trouble recently . As a result, he might lose his life at any moment . If something happened to him, the Gong Clan would be greatly affected . That was why Gong Qinyin had rushed back to the city from the Martial Hall Palace . Otherwise, she would rather stay at the Martial Hall Palace than return here . As for the reason for that, only she and her clan knew .

From Gong Qinyin's tone of voice, Xiang Shaoyun could guess that she was likely a local of Cloud Margin City . But he did not find that surprising . Everyone had their own secrets .

"Hehe, thank you for your good intentions, miss . But you are in trouble yourself . You will only make things worse for yourself if you help us," Xiang Shaoyun said . Looking at Gong Qinyin, who looked even more beautiful than before, he couldn't help but recall a certain enchanting sight he had seen once, a sight that caused his blood to boil .

For reasons unknown to Gong Qinyin herself, Xiang Shaoyun's gaze felt especially penetrating, causing her a slight amount of discomfort . She said, "They won't dare to push it that much . "

"If you are really willing to help us, we can have a chat about it," Xiang Shaoyun said .

Those words put Gong Qinyin on guard as she replied, "Looks like you don't need my help after all . I'll be leaving . "

Gong Qinyin kept having a feeling that the man before her was harboring evil designs . Just as she was about to leave, Xiang Shaoyun whispered, "Senior Sister Gong, it's me, Xiang Shaoyun!"

Gong Qinyin instantly stopped in her steps . With an astonished expression, she stared at Xiang Shaoyun, trying to find some clues from his face .

"Don't bother . I'm wearing a mask," Xiang Shaoyun said . He then gestured at Gong Qinyin before walking back to his room .  

Mo Mo followed closely behind him as she thought, The young master is indeed someone with a background .

After a slight hesitation, Gong Qinyin went with them as well .  He is indeed still alive! Gong Qinyin thought to herself, a slight trace of joy surfacing at the realization .

After the Golden River Valley battle, Xiang Shaoyun had gone missing . Everyone assumed that he had been killed by the gold serpentine crocodiles . Surprisingly, he was alive and had even arrived at Cloud Margin City .

She still remembered how back then she would be extremely fierce whenever she met Xiang Shaoyun . But now, she felt no anger toward him . Instead, she was glad he was alive . Not even she herself had noticed the change in her attitude toward him .

Gong Qinyin followed Xiang Shaoyun back to his room . As for Mo Mo, she tactfully stayed outside the room and did not follow them inside . In the room, Xiang Shaoyun took his human skin mask off and smiled at Gong Qinyin . "Senior Sister Gong, it has been a while . "

"It really is you!" Gong Qinyin cried out in excitement .

"Senior Sister Gong, you can't keep trying to kill me anymore, ok? I still remember your promise that so long as I can defeat the Gateflag Academy people, the grudge between us will be erased," Xiang Shaoyun quickly said, afraid that she would suddenly do something drastic .

Gong Qinyin burst out in laughter when she saw how nervous Xiang Shaoyun was . Her smile was as enchanting as a blooming flower, causing Xiang Shaoyun to blank out slightly staring at her .

"Senior sister, you are so beautiful!" Xiang Shaoyun praised her with heartfelt sincerity .

Xiang Shaoyun had seen a lot of beauties, but Gong Qinyin's natural smile was still a sight that warmed the heart and delighted the eyes .

Gong Qinyin glared at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Don't think I will spare you just because you are a smooth talker . The grudge between us won't be settled so easily . " 

Whenever she thought of how Xiang Shaoyun had once seen her naked, she would blush uncontrollably .

"Cough, cough, fine, if that is not enough to settle the grudge, the only thing I have left to offer is my body . " Xiang Shaoyun shrugged .

"Ohh look at how pitiful you look . Do you think I actually desire you?" Gong Qinyin grumbled .

"Yeah, you better not," Xiang Shaoyun said .

"Bastard, are you saying I'm not worthy of you?" Gong Qinyin said furiously .

Xiang Shaoyun replied gloomily, "Those are your own words . You can’t blame me for that!"

"Talking to you is a waste of time," Gong Qinyin snorted coldly .

"Alright senior sister, let's talk about something else . I need to know if you really have information on the millennium earthcore fire," Xiang Shaoyun asked .

Gong Qinyin looked at Xiang Shaoyun and asked, "You overheard everything we said earlier?"

Xiang Shaoyun nodded . "Yes . Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked revealing my identity to you . "

If he hadn't overheard them, he would have assumed that Gong Qinyin was on Wen Jinnuo's side and wouldn't have dared to reveal his identity to her .

"You're interested in the millennium earthcore fire as well?" Gong Qinyin asked .

"Yes, I need it to refine some stuff," Xiang Shaoyun replied seriously .

Gong Qinyin sighed, "Our Gong Clan needs it urgently as well, but it is located at a dangerous location . Furthermore, the information about that location has long been spread, and a large number of people are eying it as well . I doubt we stand any chance at getting it . "

"How will we know without trying?" Xiang Shaoyun replied .

"Fine, I'll tell you the location . " Gong Qinyin hesitated slightly but still decided to tell Xiang Shaoyun what she knew .

After all, it was not really a secret anymore . It did not matter if Xiang Shaoyun knew about it as well . It turned out that the millennium earthcore fire was located at an uninhabited area not far from Cloud Margin City . One could reach the place in about two or three days of journey .

It was initially a dormant volcano that had for some reason erupted suddenly and turned into a flaming mountain . Before long, it was discovered that a millennium earthcore fire had appeared there .

With that discovery, the Cloud Margin Pavilion decreed that only those below the King Realm would be allowed to fight over the millennium earthcore fire . Entry would be prohibited for all above that cultivation realm .

There was a reason for that decision . They were creating an opportunity for their disciples to fight over the fire and see if there was a lucky disciple who could obtain the fire and quickly rise into the King Realm through the struggles .

Not long ago, a large number of cultivators below the King Realm went there trying to subdue the fire . However, a large majority of them had died . Gong Qinyin had learned all that from Wen Jinnuo .

"Currently, the Flame Mountain has turned into a tempering location just for Cloud Margin Pavilion disciples . It won't be easy for others to enter that place," Gong Qinyin said with a dispirited expression .

"Haha, doesn't that make things better? Without Kings, it will be much easier for us to obtain the fire," Xiang Shaoyun said .

"Yeah, keep smiling . Although your combat power is rather impressive, how can you compare with the disciples of Cloud Margin Pavilion?" Gong Qinyin said . She paused for a bit and shifted the topic, "Also, you have your issue with the Wen Clan . Aren't you worried at all?"

"What is there to worry about? If I walk out now just like this, they won't even recognize me . And I don't even need to do that to deal with them," Xiang Shaoyun said confidently .
