C57 (1/2)

”Miss.”

The guard called out again, and Su Jiu finally reacted. He looked at the person, and after a moment, he sighed and also walked inside.

The guard looked at Su Jiu's back with some doubt, ”What's wrong with this girl? Could it be that you have been captivated by the Pavilion Master? ”

”...”

After entering, they found that the scene inside was completely different from what they had imagined. The first courtyard was completely empty, with only a few paths connected to each other, reaching their feet. Each path led to the next courtyard in that direction.

Xin Cang Qu and Yu Sheng Li walked in front and led the way, walking towards the door in the middle.

When they arrived at the entrance, everyone's eyes fell on the guards who were bowing to Xin CangQu and Yu Shengli. Although these two guards looked ordinary, they were both first-rate experts, and they could not help but sigh in their hearts, knowing that the Jade Water Pavilion was truly a crouching tiger and hidden dragon.

Along the way, the few of them maintained their silence. They passed by a few luxurious courtyards, passed by a few fake mountains and stone carvings, and then passed through a few garden pavilions. After going forward, they arrived at a cliff.

Although the cultivators had sharp ears and clear eyes, they stood in front of the cliff and looked down. They knew that this place was unfathomably deep, and could not even see the bottom of the cliff, and could only faintly hear the sound of flowing water. It was likely that there was a stream below the cliff, and based on the sounds they heard, this stream must be very wide.

When he looked towards the other side of the cliff, he only saw an empty space. There were only two huge trees that were several tens of feet tall, and they looked like two gatekeepers.

It was impossible to fly or climb over such a high, steep, and wide cliff. Even if the flying claw hook was thrown to the other side of the cliff, even if the lightness technique was excellent, it wouldn't be able to scratch anything on the bare stone walls of the cliff.

”There's no road ahead?” Ding Kuang felt that this place was very strange and could not help but become alert.

At this moment, Jade Holiness Li turned around and looked at the people accompanying her, ”Logically speaking, all of you are all esteemed guests of the Vast Expanse Shrine, and should not be offended, but my Jadewater Temple has its own rules after all. Since we're all here, we should remind you not to break our Jadewater Temple's rules, if there are any inconvenience, please forgive us.” With that, he bowed again.

”Miss Shardley is too polite. Since we are guests, we should go with the flow.” A strange sharpness flashed through Ji Chong Feng's eyes. His black eyes were like a calm pool as he replied indifferently.

”Thank you so much for selling this thin noodle to me.” Upon hearing that, Yu Shengli smiled faintly.

He then lifted his left hand and gently lifted a strand of her long hair, wrapping it around his fingertip. The smile on his face was still as bewitching as before, his pearly white lips moved slightly, and he calmly said in a demonic voice, ”Ah Li, remember this. As a woman, aside from this one, she does not need to look at anyone's eyes.”

His gaze moved between the few of them before returning to that strand of hair, ”This is your territory, if there is anyone who dares to cause trouble, just follow the rules and deal with them. No matter what the consequences will be, This Emperor will bear the burden for you.”

Those words were said in a very casual manner. However, no one dared to ignore them, and no one dared to question whether those words were true or false.
