Both worlds are like dreams

Jinxiu Building

Everyone left Xuanyuan Terrace and gathered in Jinxiu Tower.

Luo Ning served them a pot of hot tea and called a doctor to take Wei Yunzhou's pulse, but he refused.

She could only hide the worry in her eyes, quietly retreat, and then prepare some healing items for him.

Wei Yunzhou said nothing, wiping his broken soul, as if thinking.

There was silence in the room for a while. Mo Xingyue felt uncomfortable and quietly tugged at Mo Ruilin's sleeve.

Mo Ruilin looked at Gu Qinglan, raised his eyebrows, and indicated that he should make the opening statement. He was worried that if he opened his mouth, his brother Wei would stab him with a sword.

Gu Qinglan looked at Wei Yunzhou with concern, "Brother Wei, how are you injured?"

"No problem." Wei Yunzhou said.

"Have you really decided to challenge Lan Ruofeng?"

Wei Yunzhou nodded, "I have made up my mind."

His voice was soft, but his tone was firm, and it was clear that he would never change.

"Why?" Murray asked in confusion. "You could have refused."

Wei Yunzhou remained silent.

“When I heard you say that you were fighting for friendship, I was deeply moved. Although challenging Lan Ruofeng was my request, I would never be willing to risk my life for Brother Wei,” said Mo Ruilin.

Wei Yunzhou glanced at him and said, "You think too much."

"Brother Wei, we heard everything you said on Xuanyuan Terrace. Don't be embarrassed to admit it." Mo Ruilin said with a smile.

“The Double Seven Sword Technique has seven levels. I have never been able to break through the seventh level. Only at the moment of life and death can I break through.” Wei Yunzhou said lightly.

Mo Ruilin really couldn't understand it, but he also knew that Wei Yunzhou had a tough character and would not change his decision. He could only sigh and stop talking.

Several people were silent, and the atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

Seeing this, Mo Xingyue, who was sitting next to Mo Ruilin, comforted him: "Don't be so serious. Lan Ruofeng is the leader of a sect and the master of Prince Xiyue. How can he have the nerve to kill a junior in front of so many martial arts masters in Shangyang City?"

"Brother Wei," Mo Ruilin had no choice but to say, "Please be careful."

Wei Yunzhou nodded.

Mo Ruilin took Gu Qinglan and Mo Xingyue away from Jinxiu Tower. After returning home, he had all the ginseng in the warehouse delivered to Wei Yunzhou.

"Brother, don't be so nervous." Mo Xingyue said. "Your friend looks very capable, he will be fine."

"How can I not be worried?" Mo Ruilin sighed. "Lan Ruofeng's strength is unfathomable. If he really wants to kill, who can stop him?"

Gu Qinglan looked confused when he heard this, as if he had made some decision.

Over at Jinxiu Tower, not long after Gu Qinglan and the others left, another guest arrived. He seemed very low-key, with a large cloak covering most of his face, and he was accompanied by only one follower.

"Master, is it really okay for us to come here?"

"What's wrong?"

"I've heard that Jinxiu Tower is the most romantic place in Beiling, and nobles often gather here. If someone finds out that we're here, it will damage your reputation."

"Reputation is something external to one's body. If one can gain what one wants, what does it matter if one loses it?"

A woman soon walked out of the door of Jinxiu Building and greeted them with a smile, "Please come in, both of you."

The two followed him in, and everything in the Jinxiu Building came into view. A hint of amazement flashed across their eyes.

"Would you two like to have some tea? Or would you like to enjoy some singing and dancing?"

"I'm looking for someone." said the man in the cloak.

"Most of the people who come here are looking for someone. Who are you looking for, sir?"

"A poem and the master of a sword."

The woman smiled and said, "Sir, you are so elegant. Please follow me." After that, the woman led them to the elegant pavilion on the west side and introduced them, "This is Miss Qiushui, who is good at poetry, swordsmanship and dance. Are you satisfied?"

The girl inside was sitting at a desk with a book in her hand, apparently reading a poem. There were a few pieces of paper scattered around her, on which one could vaguely see the words "Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy" and "The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky" written.

The man's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he said, "The poem is right, but the person is not. I am looking for the real owner of the poem."

"Sir, I don't understand poetry, so I don't know who you are talking about."

"Yun Qing," Luo Ning's voice sounded at the stairs, "You go first. I will entertain this young master."

"Yes." Yun Qing nodded, bowed and left.

Luo Ning walked down the stairs slowly, "Sir, the person you are looking for does not belong here."

"Where does that belong?"

Luo Ning smiled slightly. From the moment he stood at the door of Jinxiu Tower, someone had passed the news to her. She knew his identity and also knew that the people he wanted to see were Xue Huang and Wei Yunzhou. "They belong to them. If you want to see them, you should ask for their opinions."

"My master has never failed to meet anyone he wants to meet." The attendant beside him said dissatisfiedly. His voice was loud, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The man glanced at him and said, "Back off."

The follower realized that he had said something wrong and stepped aside in embarrassment.

The man looked at Luo Ning and said, "Miss, I sincerely request to see you. Please let me know."

Luo Ning had no choice but to wink at the person next to her, and the girl immediately understood and went to the third floor.

After a while, she returned to Luo Ning and whispered something in her ear.

Luo Ning's expression remained the same, as if she was not surprised, and she said, "You two, please follow me." After that, she led them to Wei Yunzhou's door, pushed it open and said, "Please come in. He is waiting for you."

The man told the attendant beside him to wait for him at the door, and walked in. Then, he took off the hood on his cloak and sat opposite Wei Yunzhou.

"Your Excellency does not seem surprised."

Wei Yunzhou glanced at him calmly and said without beating around the bush: "What can I do for you, Your Highness?"

"I want to make friends with you, Your Excellency."

"That's all?" Wei Yunzhou said.

"I admire your courage in challenging my master, but I also regret that you chose him as your opponent."

"Now that I have made my choice, I will not change it." Wei Yunzhou said coldly.

"Then I'll be frank," Prince Xiyue put down his teacup, "Your Excellency has great talent, and it is not wise to choose the least advantageous prince of the Beiling royal family."

"Do you think you have a great advantage?" Wei Yunzhou asked back.

Prince Xiyue smiled and said, "Of course."

Wei Yunzhou remained unmoved and said nothing.

Prince Xiyue continued, "My Xiyue is one of the top three in Liuyun Continent. If you choose Xiyue, I will grant you the position of national teacher."

Wei Yunzhou said calmly, "I still say the same thing. Now that I have made my choice, I will not change it."

Looking at Wei Yunzhou's cold and determined expression, he smiled and said, "Is it because I am not sincere enough?"

Wei Yunzhou thought to himself: I don’t see any sincerity from you.

"Your Excellency, please tell me what conditions you have. As for Miss Xue Huang, I can also agree to any conditions she puts forward."

"If you are here to negotiate terms, can I understand this as a deal?" Wei Yunzhou said coldly.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. I am sincere..."

"As for the other answer, I can answer you on her behalf. She won't care no matter what conditions you offer." Wei Yunzhou said coldly.

He could imagine Xue Huang's expression when she heard these words. She must have been puzzled and refused without hesitation.

"Can I see her?" asked Prince Xiyue.

Wei Yunzhou's eyes darkened. He looked at him without saying anything, as if he had seen through his thoughts. "She won't see you."

"Why are you so sure, Excellency?" Prince Xiyue frowned slightly.

Wei Yunzhou really didn't want to talk to him any more, so he said, "She will go to Xuanyuan Terrace. If the prince wants to see her, he can wait there."

"What if I must see her today?" Prince Xiyue refused to give in.

"Then go find it yourself." Wei Yunzhou said coldly.

Prince Xiyue: "..."

Wei Yunzhou sneered in his heart. He was not the kind of person who would respect someone just because he was of noble status. As long as he didn't like you, who would he care about you?

Prince Xiyue was also very helpless. He didn't expect that this young man would be so stubborn.

After a moment of silence, Prince Xiyue could only sigh and say, "Mr. Wei, I came to visit you sincerely. I hope you and Miss Xuehuang can consider it carefully."

Wei Yunzhou thought: How can you be sincere? You are clearly plotting against Xue Huang and trying to show your good will to him. I'd be a fool to believe you!

However, in order to prevent him from continuing to pester him, Wei Yunzhou showed a hint of seriousness and said, "Okay."

Prince Xiyue nodded, "Then I'll take my leave first."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Wei Yunzhou said.

Prince Xiyue twitched his lips, stood up and left the room.

As soon as he walked out of the door, his followers immediately came to meet him, but seeing that his face was getting darker, they did not dare to speak. They just followed him silently and walked around Jinxiu Tower.

Seeing the face of the Crown Prince of Xiyue gradually turn into disappointment, he was even more puzzled. Why did the Crown Prince look so disappointed with such an interesting Jinxiu Tower? Could it be that he looked down on Beiling's customs?

The follower showed a look of admiration, his prince's character was indeed becoming more and more noble.
