There was no need to consider such a good offer, the old man was one hundred percent willing. This little girl seemed easy going, she shouldn’t be a difficult person to get along with.

This way, he didn’t have to use one year of conscripted labor in exchange for the entrance fee this time. Also, he didn’t have to pay for his own expenses for one year. Such a good thing was hard to come by. If he had refused, he wasn’t a normal person.

“Seeing as you seem to agree, that’s good.” Sima You Yue said.

“Thank you, really, thank you so much.” The old man was very excited. He knew that Sima You Yue was only doing this to help herself, being a guide for her was only a term she used loosely.

Sima You Yue smiled, she had actually really been just looking for someone to explain the situation to her, the entrance fee was incidental.

“Since the queue is still long, why don’t you tell me about the situation here?”

“Alright.”

From the old man’s account, Sima You Yue knew what sort of a place she had arrived at.

Wu Xiang City, Hua Wu Xiang’s second headquarters. Other than spending his time in the Imperial Capital, he spent most of his time here. If she was lucky, she would see him here.

However, when the old man heard her asking about Hua Wu Xiang, he broke her fantasy: “Commander Hua has definitely not been in the city recently.”

“Why?”

“Recently, it’s been the Azure Dragon Soul Region Talent Trials. Commander Hua always attends the trials in person when it’s being held. If anyone is selected by him, they will be able to attain the highest level in the Soul Region!”

“Talent Trials? Where is it held?”

“I think it’s a city near the Imperial Capital. How would we loose cultivators know about such matters?” The old man laughed.

“Does it not get announced?” Sima You Yue asked.

“There is no need for it to be announced. Those who are truly powerful are the people in the forces. They’ve known about it for a long time, why would it need to be announced?”

“What if there are other talents?”

“This situation is quite rare. You also know what happens to the souls after they come here. Those with talent are picked away, and even if the rest survived, it wouldn’t be their turn on such occasions. Also, since it is a talent trial, you can’t just enter it. You usually have to be recommended to take part in the talent trial.”

Well, in such a situation, they really didn’t need to announce it to the world. Even if there were one or two talented souls who had slipped through the net, it didn’t matter. Besides, it was impossible to recruit all the talented souls in the world anyway.

“Is she the only one who recruits? I seem to recall that there are two Commanders here.”

“Are you referring to Mu Luo Feng? He has already recruited talents.” The old man replied, “However, I did hear that Commander Hua has invited Commander Mu to watch the talent trials.”

“So that means they are there together now!”

“They should be. But we don’t know the whereabouts of the Commanders. Who knows whether he is there or not.”

“Whether he is there or not, I want to go and watch.” Sima You Yue smiled. There was no news before, but now the news was coming.

They chatted and walked slowly into the city. Finally it was their turn just before it was dark.

Sima You Yue handed over the entrance fee for three people, and the soldier looked at the three of them, then nodded and let them pass. After they had entered the city, the soldier passed his position over to someone else then hurried into the city to report.

Sima You Yue didn’t know that she had been targeted. She brought the old man to an inn, and soon, the news of their stay at the inn had spread to the City Lord’s Manor.

In the City Lord’s Manor, a white-clothed man in the main seat looked at the people kneeling below and asked: “Is this news true? Are you sure it’s those two people?”

“Envoy Bai, those two people look exactly the same as the ones in the portrait.” The man kneeling on the ground reported.

“These people are so bold. They’ve captured Nan Yu Miao and yet they still dare to come to Wu Xiang City!” Bai Mei Gui sneered, “Have you seen Nan Yu Miao?”

“No, my guess is that they have placed him in the soul stone.”

“Well, pay close attention to their movements. Although I don’t like Nan Yu Miao much, he is still the Commander’s man. If he is caught, we will also be dragged down by him. Be careful not to be discovered.”

“Yes, Envoy Bai.” The man who was kneeling on the ground got up and left.

After the guard had left, the bodyguard behind Bai Mei Gui lamented: “Master, why don’t you take the opportunity to get rid of him, why save him instead?”

“Save him? Who said I want to save him?” Bai Mei Gui sneered: “I just want to avenge him, after all we are City Lords and we serve the same Commander.”

“Subordinate understands.”

Nan Yu Miao was not dead yet and they were talking about avenging him. There was no doubt about the fact that he wouldn’t survive.

There was only one fate awaiting him, they just didn’t know whether the executor was them or the other party.

Sima You Yue had been in the city for two days. Upon seeing the fine weather, she asked the old man: “Uncle Li, will there really be the strong wind that you talked about? The weather seems to be fine, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be windy.”

She wanted to go and look for Hua Wu Xiang as soon as possible. If it wasn’t windy, she wanted to go as soon as she got the news.

“Just because there are no warning signs doesn’t mean it’s not coming. In no more than three days at the latest, the strong winds will come.” Old man Li said with certainty.

Sima looked at him. He looked so sure that she didn’t say anything.

“Little girl, you want to attend the Talent Trials?” Old man Li asked.

“Yes.” Sima You Yue nodded. Since it appeared that looking for Hua Wu Xiang and going to the Talent Trials seemed to be the same matter to him, he must have misunderstood. She allowed him to misunderstand the matter since it wasn’t easy to explain to him.

“You don’t have to worry, the Talent Trials will last for quite a long time. After the Tempest Season Festival is over, we can rush there.” Old man Li said, “Of course, we have to get the specific location of the Talent Trails first.”

“That shouldn’t be a problem. It’s this Hua Wu Xiang’s headquarters?” Sima You Yue said with confidence.

No one else might know about it in other places, however, his people in the headquarters must know more. It would be easier to find information here.

However, what troubled her more was that the scarlet bees were not useful ever since they had arrived here. According to Wu Lingyu’s guess, it was probably because the Soul Clan here had no life. Therefore, they were more sensitive to the living things that appeared. After all, the scarlet bees could hide their breath but not their life.

This was a major obstacle for her to find out information.

It was also precisely because of this that they had decided to come out for a walk in the city to see if they could find out any information.

Wu Lingyu sat by the window and looked at the street outside, frowning slightly.
