Taking Long Ke along would show prestige.
It would also ensure safety.
But if Long Ke was unwilling, taking some Palace Guards would be equally fine.
With that, Wen Ping walked out of the kitchen.
"Hey."
Long Ke quickly called out twice, feeling speechless towards Wen Ping.
Could it be she hadn’t expressed herself clearly?
Why did her last warning seem entirely unheard?
"Zhao Keqing, aren’t you eating?"
Just as she wanted to follow out, Yun Liao’s voice reached her, along with the aroma of the red Spirit Rice wafting in.
She turned back to see Wen Ping’s receding figure.
She found herself in a dilemma.
"Forget it, I’ll eat first."
Saying that, Long Ke hurried to the dining table.
On the other side, after boarding the Flying Ship, Wen Ping headed directly for Cloud Sea City.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Cloud Sea City was particularly bustling.
Of course, the hustle and bustle here were extraordinary; rarely had a single Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm expert been seen, yet seven or eight had appeared in the past few days.
Rumor even had it that a Mountain Suppression Realm expert had arrived.
The former was true, personally received by the Deputy City Lord, but as for the latter, its truth was uncertain at the moment.
Upon returning, Yun Hai Cang Lan had been busy to exhaustion, first giving those Two-star and Three-star influences an explanation before rushing back to receive the Half-Step Mountain Suppression experts.
Their single purpose here was to purchase the Vortex Map while seeing the two Vortex Maps Yun Hai Cang Lan had bought.
Yun Hai Cang Lan simply placed the Demon-slaying Crossbow in the square outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
For easy viewing by those people.
As for the Wind Attribute Vortex Map, he could only call his son out to perform individually for them—activating that somewhat transparent Meridian Gate, controlling the wind a little. Occasionally, he let his son fight a Profound Realm guard of the same Realm, showing them how special the new Anomalous Vein was.
This back-and-forth left Yun Hai Cang Lan’s son.
At 30, Yun Hai Po Mo couldn’t take it anymore.
"Father, isn’t he supposed to come in a month? The seniors have been here in Cloud Sea City for half a month, watching me fight every day. They aren’t tired, but I’m going crazy."
At 30, in his prime, yet he looked utterly exhausted.
His question was filled with helplessness.
"Sect Leader Wen should be busy and unable to come; bear with it a bit longer, I’ll personally go find him in a few days." The matter of Cloud Sea City’s allegiance had to be addressed, and once completed, he could conveniently fetch a few Vortex Maps from Sect Leader Wen for auction.
As for his son’s hardship.
It didn’t matter.
Young people, what’s a little hardship?
Moreover, this was an opportunity; as the unique Wind Attribute Anomalous Vein rose in reputation, the Four-star Giant Influences would soon approach.
Sending his son into a Four-star Giant Influence would mean another strong backing for Cloud Sea City.
With a bitter smile, Yun Hai Po Mo was about to leave and said as a parting shot, "Father, you better hurry... I have had enough."
What’s more unbearable than being a performer?
Truly letting him kill enemies daily would be fine.
But making him repeatedly beat his own people with the wind, what was that about?
"Fine."
Yun Hai Cang Lan waved his hand, "dismissing" his son, firming up his resolve to head for East Lake today.
With so many powerful influences waiting.
It was best to acquire the Vortex Map as soon as possible.
Just then, urgent footsteps sounded from outside the door.
The Deputy City Lord, Lu Hai, burst through the door!
Extremely rude!
However, his next words extinguished any trace of anger in Yun Hai Cang Lan.
"City Lord, Sect Leader Wen has arrived!"
