The patriarch of the Ouyang Family is very grateful to Guan Yue. It was with Guan Yue's help that Ouyang Shaohua was able to learn two skills, mastering Warrior and Mastery of Intent Techniques. Moreover, it was also with Guan Yue's assistance that Ouyang Shaohua successfully broke through to the Guardian Realm. However, circumstances are stronger than individuals. When comparing Guan Yue to the royal family, the Ouyang Family would naturally choose the royal family.
Ouyang Shaohua has also heard that the family agreed to arrange her engagement with the Nation, which she is very reluctant about. She still hopes that Guan Yue will appear before her soon and bring her surprises once again.
Believing in Guan Yue is her obsession!
"Fang Buchang, do you want to take revenge on Guan Tian?" Fang Buchang could hardly believe that the Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, a woman he greatly respected, would actively seek him out and ask such a question.
Fang Buchang had dreamed of dealing with Guan Tian. But he was also a smart person and immediately replied, "Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, what do you need me to do?"
Hu Hui smiled, "If you are a brave man, you must defeat Guan Tian. We will help you achieve this goal. So, do you have confidence?"
"Is it really that simple?" Fang Buchang asked in confusion.
"It is that simple. It all depends on whether you want revenge," Hu Hui continued, "Not only do you want revenge, but my junior sister and I also want revenge, so we should join forces."
As she spoke, Hu Hui moved a little closer to Fang Buchang and whispered very softly, "We suspect that Guan Tian is the very famous Guan Yue from Qilin Academy. He has ties to Sky Peak Tower. Don't you think we should deal with him together?"
"What? Guan Tian is Guan Yue? And he has Sky Peak Tower?" Fang Buchang was taken aback.
"However, this matter must remain confidential; otherwise, Sky Peak Tower will no longer belong to us," Hu Hui continued to speak very quietly to Fang Buchang, appearing very sincere.
That day, Fang Buchang told his brother Fang Bulian about this news. It was a significant matter, and he chose to trust his brother.
When Jiang Tianlan relayed the news of an unparalleled beauty from Qilin Academy to the royal family, initially, the royal disciples did not take it seriously. However, when Nation was the first to see He Bi at Dragon Lake Academy in person, they were astonished and regarded her as a fairy. They blocked the news from other princes and either came personally or sent people continuously pursuing He Bi. This made He Bi quite annoyed.
This was because Nation's appearance was truly unremarkable and belonged to the inferior category. Although he held the title of prince, he was the least attractive among them—without exception. With small eyes, a big nose, wind-blown ears, and a gaping mouth, he could not cover up his lack of charm with his lofty ambitions or high cultivation level. Furthermore, he did not possess combat power as strong as He Bi's.
He also thought that Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia were both nice girls and could be taken in together.
So he often sent gifts to the three of them and treated them to meals. However, the three girls never let him succeed.
Regarding Dragon Lake Academy, the Southern Source Emperor was not someone to offend, so the princes dared not act recklessly there. They could only repeatedly try to please them without taking any other actions.
Later, as Nation became increasingly excessive, Huangfu Jiayin came to Guan Yue to complain. Upon hearing this, Guan Yue became furious and immediately wanted to confront Nation. Huangfu Jiayin felt very pleased inside but still firmly held onto Guan Yue, saying, "This matter requires a plan to deal with this prince; otherwise, we won't be able to stay here. Even if we want to confront him, we cannot do it ourselves but must rely on others."
Guan Yue suddenly realized that Huangfu Jiayin was indeed a master planner and must already have a way to deal with Nation. He quickly asked Huangfu Jiayin for her strategy.
Huangfu Jiayin smiled wryly and said, "I came here to seek your consent first before planning against him. Even if I want to deal with him, I will discuss it with you and need your full agreement."
Guan Yue felt a warmth in his heart. Huangfu Jiayin truly cared for him. That Naijia was just a little lacking.
Thus, Guan Yue began discussing with Huangfu Jiayin how to deal with Nation. They planned for a long time.
Just two days later, the communication talisman in Guan Yue's hand suddenly moved. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Carefree Traveler was sending him a message, urging him to hurry to Nanyang City as there was news regarding Sky-Sealing Tower.
Guan Yue informed Huangfu Jiayin and instructed the three of them not to leave the academy before taking Jin Xi to Nanyang City. Jin Xi had been feeling very constrained at Dragon Lake Academy, so she was naturally very happy when Guan Yue decided to take her out.
The two flew for over two hours before arriving at Nanyang City. It was Jin Xi's first time seeing such a large city, and she was thrilled, exclaiming how beautiful it was compared to the mountains.
They continued until they landed near Azure Sea and Cloudy Sky.
Then Guan Yue took Jin Xi inside Azure Sea and Cloudy Sky. At that moment, there were not many guests inside, making it quite quiet. Jin Xi looked at the dazzling lights and ornate architecture inside, feeling extremely excited; it was her first time seeing such magnificent buildings.
"Wow, you humans really know how to enjoy yourselves," Jin Xi whispered to Guan Yue using the whispering technique he had taught her. She hadn't referred to her grandmother in a long time; this time it truly impacted her deeply, prompting her heartfelt expression.
"Are you not human?" Guan Yue retorted to Jin Xi without hesitation.
Jin Xi pouted, "I haven't learned to enjoy life yet."
Guan Yue smiled, realizing that she too had yet to learn how to enjoy.
The two were led by a waiter directly to the room where Carefree Traveler was waiting. Upon entering, Guan Yue saw that only Carefree Traveler was there. They exchanged pleasantries, and Carefree Traveler expressed curiosity about Jin Xi. Guan Yue explained, "This is my junior sister, just out of seclusion, exploring the world to familiarize herself with human affairs."
Only then did Carefree Traveler feel at ease to converse with Guan Yue.
The He Family's rivals were all subordinates of the Crown Prince, who had long been eyeing the Sky-Sealing Tower. The He Family had remained silent about the Sky-Sealing Tower, which had been in their possession for thousands of years. However, the He Family was quite weak and had not produced any powerful experts, so they dared not reveal any information regarding the Sky-Sealing Tower.
Due to an unfair handling of a matter, internal strife erupted within the family, splitting the He Family into two factions: one faction held the Sky-Sealing Tower while the other did not. The faction without the Sky-Sealing Tower proposed taking turns managing it, but the faction that possessed it disagreed. The faction without control decided to go all out and ultimately leaked information about the Sky-Sealing Tower in exchange for some tangible benefits.
This led to a fierce conflict among three factions under the Crown Prince's command. Each side refused to back down, and with the Crown Prince far away in the Dawson Empire, no one stepped in to mediate, causing tensions to escalate further into chaos.
At this moment, Carefree Traveler and Northern Champion intervened, exploiting the Three Families' discord to incite a fierce battle among them, resulting in mutual destruction. In the end, all three parties agreed to jointly offer a price to the He Family to buy the Sky-Sealing Tower; if they did not surrender it, they would wipe out the entire He Family.
The joint offer from the Three Families was set at one hundred thousand Golden Jade, with a deadline of ten o'clock on the morning after tomorrow.
Faced with such formidable opponents, Northern Champion lost his ideas and left it up to Guan Yue to clean up this mess.
One hundred thousand Golden Jade for the Sky-Sealing Tower? The Three Families were being overly ambitious!
After hearing Carefree Traveler's account of the situation, Guan Yue's mind began to shift. The Nangong Family, Guardian Duke Gao, and Wei Family were all prominent families in Nanyang City with over ten thousand years of history; they were deeply rooted and influential, serving as fundamental support for Crown Prince Jiang Gong. That annoying prince from Nation was also a close ally of the Crown Prince. Could this be an opportunity to turn him into an advantage?
Guan Yue directly inquired about Nation from Carefree Traveler. Carefree Traveler replied, "The Fifth Prince of Nation is very skilled in martial arts and has already reached Guardian Realm. An important ally he has is the prominent Ouyang Family. The Ouyang Family has agreed to marry their most outstanding daughter to him as his third wife; they are just waiting for her graduation from Chunhua Academy before discussing marriage. So their alliance has already formed..."
Hearing this, Guan Yue quickly interjected, "Who is Miss Ouyang studying at Chunhua Academy?"
"It seems her name is Ouyang Shaohua. I've heard she is quite attractive. She is already a Disciple at the Pinnacle of the Marvelous Realm now. Talented in both literature and martial arts, she is a blessing for him," Carefree Traveler said enviously.
Guan Yue felt a spark ignite within him! This was like a bolt from the blue!
Ouyang Shaohua is to marry Nation? Did she agree to this? Or was it her family's decision? Since Nation has Ouyang Shaohua, he still wants He Bi? This made Guan Yue furious and filled with righteous indignation. He immediately halted Carefree Traveler's narration and began pacing around the room, unable to calm down.
Seeing Guan Yue's strong reaction, Carefree Traveler was also puzzled.
After pondering for a long time alone, Guan Yue asked Carefree Traveler, "If I were to deal with this Nation, you wouldn't oppose it, would you?"
"That would be great," Carefree Traveler added, "After Jiang Gong went abroad to lead the charge, many Senior Cultivators have emerged from somewhere. Even around Nation there are Eternal Realm Practitioners for protection. Within the Crown Prince's circle, there are even Eternal Realm Cultivators stationed as guards, making it very secure. In comparison, Jiang Ming Prince's side is much weaker. Especially since the Ouyang Family has many experts; they have deep connections with Dragon Lake Academy, Chunhua Academy, and Azure Dragon Academy, and have always been the foremost family in our Southern Source Empire. Since they agreed to let Miss Ouyang marry Nation, it indicates they have recognized Jiang Gong's status as Crown Prince, which is bad news for Jiang Ming Prince. Moreover, it will bring greater difficulties in our efforts against Nation."
"Let me take care of him," Jin Xi jumped up and ran in front of Guan Yue, acting cute.
Guan Yue quickly urged her to sit down, fearing she might actually go after Nation. He said to Jin Xi, "You need to listen to us first before we discuss strategies. We must have a foolproof plan before taking action."
Jin Xi stretched lazily, looking displeased: "So troublesome; why do we need to discuss so much just to fight?"
Seeing how much Guan Yue valued Jin Xi, Carefree Traveler was secretly curious. Could this girl be the current subject of many rumors—the Little Demoness? The name of Little Demoness from Dragon Lake Academy had already spread to the capital Nanyang. However, the people of Nanyang had yet to see the true appearance of Little Demoness.
