AST 2181 - Yu Royal Gate, Great Yu Mountain (1/2)

“Nonsense,” Beihuang Fan sounded annoyed.

Nothing much happened subsequently, Qing Shui thought of Tantai Lingyan from time to time. He was worried about her and her whereabouts. Besides, he wanted to go home, but he could not leave at the moment.

There was also the problem of security around the region. The Divine Palace was very mad about Yin Tong’s assault. Right now, Nuolan was investigating the people behind it.

Yin Tong was nearly recovered, but he could not recall a single thing. There was a large range of complicated people here, but the objective of his assault was obvious. Yin Tong had no enemies, so it was either directed against Qing Shui or the Divine Palace.

It was not quite possible for the real target to be the Divine Palace since Yin Tong was new and almost nobody in the Divine Palace knew about him. However, it could be that the opponent wanted to hurt the Divine Palace without creating a big chaos.

Still, the other possibility was greater—to take revenge on Qing Shui. The Demon Gate Junior Sect Master denied to be involved in the assault, so Qing Shui lost the only suspect. It seemed that the case was becoming blurrier now.

Three days had passed. The opponents said that they would kill Qing Shui in three days, but nothing had happened until now.

Qing Shui was cautious too; he knew many incidents happened when one had loosened up and allowed the opponent to make a killing strike.

He didn’t dare to let loose. He was considered powerful here, but there were still others who could take his life away.

The next day, several people came. Qing Shui smiled as he saw them, it was the Jiu Yunlong couple. Yunlong stepped forward excitedly, “Younger brother!”

“Elder brother, sister-in-law! Why are you here?” Qing Shui was definitely delighted to see them.

Yunlong was genuinely close to Qing Shui as he had saved him, Tong Ruo, and his child. Thus, he could not sit still as he found out about the alliance between the Golden Yaksha and Demon Gate.

He only knew later that Qing Shui belonged to the Divine Palace and was related to the Taiyi Immortal Palace. Both of them were initially opposing each other, but now, Yunlong decided to form an alliance with the Divine Palace and Taiyi Immortal Palace.

The elders of his clan supported him too; a man must know the rights and wrongs. He had to acknowledge his savior and repay the favor.

“I would like to form an alliance with the Divine Palace and Taiyi Immortal Palace in the morning. Can you be my referrer?” Yunlong said directly.

Qing Shui understood at once. He stared at Yunlong, “Elder brother, I get it, but…”

“If you take me as your brother, save the excuse. I owe everything to you,” Yunlong was very straightforward.

“Alright, I will bring you there,” Qing Shui replied helplessly.

At the time, Beihuang Fan walked out and smiled at Qing Shui.

“Brother, your wife is so pretty. Mm? ow yeah, I know who she is. She's Miss Beihuang, right? Brother, you are really blessed,” Yunlong was amazed but he came back to his alertness immediately.

Beihuang Fan did not explain but said, “I can represent the Taiyi Immortal Palace and agree on the alliance. As for the Divine Palace, it will usually be fine if Qing Shui agrees.”

“Charismatic!” Yunlong smiled.

The few of them headed to the Divine Palace. Beihuang Liefeng led his men here; he was happy to form an alliance with the Silver Dragon Palace. It was surely a good thing to ally with the Silver Dragon Palace which was stronger than the Divine Palace and the Taiyi Immortal Palace.

Hence, everything was set smoothly, including the oath making and the brotherhood announcement. Yunlong dragged Qing Shui and made him the sworn brother of his. Beihuang Yu wanted to join but he was stopped by Beihuang Fan, “What are you doing?”

“Looks like I am downgraded,” Beihuang Yu said bitterly.
