In Li Luo's eyes, vying for the throne was the most important thing, and everything else could be put aside. Because if he lost the qualification to compete for the throne, he could already foresee his future. Either he would become a useless prince, or he would be eliminated. There were almost no other options besides these two.

  He was an ambitious person, so how could he be content with being a useless prince? He certainly didn't want to be eliminated, so there was only one path for him: to forge ahead bravely.

  Inside Ye Yun's pace.

  Yun Xi looked at the luxurious surroundings and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. As expected of the Ye Family Young Master's pce, it was so opulent. Even the pace owned by Yun Feng, the Yun Family Cn Leader and Yun Xi's father, wasn't this luxurious. This showed the true heritage of the Ye Family. More importantly, Ye Yun was not yet the head of the Ye Family; he was just the Young Master. The Ye Family Cn Leader was Ye Changkong, and his pace would be even more grand and magnificent.

  Comparing people to people was pointless because it only led to envy.

  Sitting in the main seat, Ye Yun said half-jokingly, "Alright, sis, sit down and eat with me. These are rare delicacies that I usually can't bear to bring out. It's only because you're here that I'm being so generous."

  Hearing this, Yun Xi gave Ye Yun a gentle gre and whispered, "You just know how to sweet-talk me. I don't believe you."

  Though she said this, Yun Xi's heart was still very sweet. Feeling valued made her very happy.

  Xia He and Qiu Lan stood by, serving them. They had seen Yun Xi when they were young, so they were retively familiar with her. As for Yue Mingkong, she also stood aside, feeling a bit envious. She longed to sit and enjoy a meal with Ye Yun like Yun Xi, but she knew it wasn't possible. Her current status didn't allow her to sit with Ye Yun. She was just a personal maid, and even if she was envious, she had to recognize her position.

  At this moment, Yue Mingkong couldn't help but regret. If she had agreed to Ye Yun's request back then, she wouldn't be standing here like a maid now. But unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Even though Yue Mingkong was full of regret, she could only endure it silently, hoping that her actions could change Ye Yun's view of her and eventually elevate her status.

  While ughter filled the pace, someone was still traveling through the night, braving the elements. That person was, of course, Yue Qingshan. After his duel yesterday, he packed up and fled overnight. He knew that if word got out about his challenge to Ye Yun, the Yue Family wouldn't let him off easily, even without Ye Yun's intervention. But unfortunately, Yue Qingshan was overthinking it. Ye Yun wasn't bored enough to report such trivial matters. The Yue Family still didn't know that Yue Qingshan had challenged Ye Yun, nor that he had left the Yue Family.

  In the Yue Family, Yue Qingshan was considered a talented young member, but he wasn't always in the spotlight, so no one paid much attention to his sudden disappearance. After all, everyone had their own cultivation time, and he might just be training somewhere, so no one thought much of it.

  After traveling for a day and a night, Yue Qingshan finally distanced himself from the Yue Family. To reach the location of the Ancient Ruins quickly, he bought the fastest Air Speed Beast, a Spirit Beast known for its speed. He spent almost all his savings to buy the Air Speed Beast. He had no choice; he was poor! But he thought that if he could discover the Ancient Ruins, there might be many valuable items inside. Selling even one could be worth more than the Spirit Stones he spent.

  With the speed of the Air Speed Beast, he reached the Cangn Continent after a day and a night of travel. Despite not resting for over ten hours, he didn't feel tired at all. Even the Air Speed Beast he rode was exhausted. After flying for over ten hours, even a Spirit Beast would feel fatigued.

  Upon entering Cangn City, Yue Qingshan looked around. This was the city closest to the Ancient Ruins. To reach the ruins, he needed to make thorough preparations. If he wasn't well-prepared, he might not even have a chance to return once he entered. Therefore, he had to be well-prepared.

  If his teacher were still around, he might have been able to help him strategize, but now his teacher was very weak and slowly recovering, so he couldn't disturb him.

  What Yue Qingshan didn't know was that someone had been silently following him from a great distance. When he entered Cangn City, this person also followed him in. This person was Yun Lan, sent by Ye Yun. With a cultivation level higher than Yue Qingshan's and a talent for concealment, Yue Qingshan didn't notice anything.

  Watching Yue Qingshan enter an inn, Yun Lan frowned slightly, pondering. "Cangn City, why is this guy rushing here?" She couldn't understand why Yue Qingshan was in such a hurry to come here. Was there something here that he cared about deeply, or something he didn't want others to know about? Of course, none of this was clear yet.

  Yun Lan pnned to continue tracking him, but she needed to report the current situation to Ye Yun first. She found a room in an inn across the street where she could observe the outside environment.

  In the room, Yun Lan took out a crystal-clear stone. She channeled her spiritual energy into it, and the stone emitted a soft glow. Then, Ye Yun's figure appeared on the stone.

  "Young Master!" Seeing this figure, Yun Lan stood respectfully.

  "Yun Lan, where are you now? What about Yue Qingshan? Is he up to anything?" Hearing this, Yun Lan quickly reported everything she had seen and heard to Ye Yun.

  "Young Master, after packing up, Yue Qingshan bought an Air Speed Beast and headed straight for the Cangn Continent. I'm currently in Cangn City. Yue Qingshan has checked into an inn and is staying there for now. I don't know what he's doing."

  After hearing all this, Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully. Yue Qingshan had a Grand Saint Remnant Soul as his master. Perhaps this Grand Saint Remnant Soul master had given him a treasure map.
