Chapter 164: 164: Yue Ruxia and her friends (3) As soon as the preparations of the three ladies were done, they all gathered in the hallway wearing distinct clothes that showed their personalities. Yue Ruxia has always been in Korean fashion. She is now wearing black suspenders paired with a white crop top and a pair of rubber shoes. A black hat was also placed on her head. On the other hand, Gou Yura was a bit boyish. She is wearing beige, Jagger pants, and a black sleeveless crop top paired with black rubber shoes and sunglasses on her face. Meanwhile, Chen Senya is wearing a long, brown jean skirt with one side slit and an upper white polo shirt and an inner light brown tube cloth paired with thick soles, white sandals, and a handbag. The three friends looked at each other and took photos along the hallway to the elevator until they reached the parking lot where Yue Ruxia's pink boattail Rolls-Royce sports car is parked. Chen Senya said, "Nice car!" As for Gou Yura, she had already jumped in the back seat the moment Yue Ruxia retracted the roof of the car. She happily occupied the whole back seat and whistled with excitement. "What are you guys waiting for? Let's go!" said Gou Yura. Yue Ruxia headed to the driver's seat while Chen Senya sat in the passenger seat beside the driver. The three of them happily left the parking lot and didn't notice the hidden guards hiding at the parking lot who immediately rode on their uniformed black cars and drove to follow them. Their actions were immediately reported to Yue Xuexia, who was at home in the Moonlight Lake mansion. She was currently in the theater room with Taiyang and Tan Bingyu having a drama marathon. The mistress was too lazy to leave the house; thus, they could only stay in the mansion and do something as a group. As for Yue Jixia, she is once again in the study room doing some work for her hotel. Tan Bingyu, who just received the message, said to her mistress. "Mistress, your youngest sister and her friend are currently heading to the Marigold Mall and also called Anya of the Atlantea Resorts World." "They must be buying some swimsuits. Let them be; just tell the guys to protect them in the shadows and also tell Executive Manager Anya to take care of them when they get to the resort," said Yue Ruxia. Taiyang, who comes back from the kitchen, is now holding two huge bowls of popcorn and French fries. These bowls were as big as average-sized basins. Upon seeing these, the expressions of the two ladies had twitched. "Can you finish all that!?" asked Tan Bingyu. Taiyang grins and says, "Of course. I've also brought up the burgers and drinks." With a wave of his hands, a few trays filled with burgers and drinks appeared on the ground. "Sister Bingyu, just get used to it," said Yue Xuexia as she reached a hand and grabbed a cheeseburger. One of her hands holding a burger and the other reaching for the bowl of fries. Taiyang said, "What should we watch today?" "A criminal drama?" Tan Bingyu suggested. The two in the theater room looked interested in that genre. Taiyang, who loves to surf the internet for something to watch, said, "Let's watch just Hannibal." "That's good. A psychopath and a criminal-based drama. Okay, let's watch it!" said Yue Xuexia. The three enjoyed themselves watching the Hannibal Series all day. --- Meanwhile, the three ladies finally reached the Marigold Mall. Yue Ruxia parked in the mall parking lot. On the way, on the road and during the parking process, most cars avoided them. Yue Ruxia said, "Why would the cars avoid us? I properly learned how to drive! I won't bump into them." "Silly~ don't you know how much your customized boat tail is? It's no wonder they would avoid it!" stated Gou Yura. Chen Senya said, "I've researched. This car of yours should cost a few hundred million. Did your sister buy it for you? "Hm. She bought a few for each family member and I chose this. The color is nice, right?" asked Yue Ruxia. Chen Senya said, "Your elder sister spoils you too well. Let's go! We should eat first before roaming around!" "I've made some reservations in a French restaurant. Let's go there!" Said Gou Yura. Yue Ruxia said, "Don't order snails." "Don't eat too much. We will need to walk around," Chen Senya said. Gou Yura pouted, "Fine~ I won't eat much." --- Cultivation Realm Snow Clan This clan's members had been waiting for a scheduled report from Elder Xue Yan, who had disappeared in the Mortal Realm for a month now. His connection with the family was suddenly cut off and a few lives of the clansmen who came with him had been broken. The whole clan gathered for a family meeting for this reason. Among the younger generation, Xue Lengya was summoned, as he was the last person who had met Elder Xue Yan. Moreover, that elder was also a guardian, and a guardian will not leave unless the heir sends him away for a mission or something. Xue Clan Leader, who is also the great-grandfather of Xue Lengya, speaks. "What is happening? Where did Elder Yan go? Even bring a few cultivators of the family with them! How come the life jades of those people started cracking? Did they all die?" "Someone! Give this old man a reason for this situation! He had already lost a group of Peak Foundation Stage youngsters!" An elder reported, "Clan leader, it can be said that if there is someone who can send Xue Yan away aside from you is the Young Hei, Xue Lengya." "Summon, Lengya here!" After waiting for a while, Xue Lengya had finally arrived at the family hall. Upon his arrival, he had greeted his great-grandfather and finally the elders in the hall. Even though he didn't know why he was being summoned, as the young heir of the clan, seeing the clan leader and the elders didn't make his expression tense at all, as if he was used to this kind of setting. Xue Lengya said, "Greetings to Great-Grandfather and all the elders!" "Leng'er, come over to this lord!" Said the Xue Clan Leader. Xue Lengya responded, "Yes, Ancestor." After doing as he was told, Xue Lengya looked at his great-grandfather with confusion in his eyes. The clan leader said, "Leng'er, look at the things on the table." Xue Lengya turned his head to look at the table and was surprised when he saw the life jades on it. Most of it was broken, except for two with Elder Xue Yan's name and another cultivator's name inscribed in the other life jade, which now have a crack. "Life Jades? Why are most of it broken!?" said Xue Lengya. He grabbed the only intact jade stone with no crack and was stunned to see Elder Xue Yan's name. His face turned pale as he recalled how he had sent his guardian and a few peak foundation cultivators to the Mortal Realm just to avenge his cousin's death. His face turned pale at the thought that something had happened to his guardian and his group. "Impossible!" Witnessing the change of expression on Xue Lengya, the clan leader and elders were wearing an ugly expression. Xue Lengya's ancestors looked a bit dissatisfied with these descendants of his. The clan leader asked, "So, Leng'er. Did you know where and why Elder Yan and these cultivators suddenly left the clan?" "You should know as Elder Yan was after all your guardian. He isn't capable of leaving your side unless you ask him too," an elder who is hostile to Xue Lengya's lineage said. The clan leader frowned when he heard an elder speaking in such a way to his descendant. "Third elder, why don't you leave my descendant problem with me to resolve? As the clan leader, it's my responsibility after all." These words of the clan leader were indirectly saying to this third elder not to get involved with the conflict with his descendant involved in it. As expected, the third elder frowned and no longer spoke with a look as if he ate a shit. Seeing how the clan leader had talked down to the third elder, the other elders didn't dare to speak up. After all, the former is not only their clan leader but also the strongest in their clan. The only Golden Core cultivator of their family. The Xue Clan Leader said, "Leng'er, tell me. Where and why have you sent your guardian away?" Xue Lengya, with trembling lips, had no other choice but to answer; after all, the one who asked is his own family's ancestor. "I've sent Elder Yan to the Mortal Realm. Someone had uprooted my clan's mortal branch family. I sent... him there to investigate and clean up afterwards," said Xue Lengya. The clean-up, in his words, meant killing the culprit who uprooted his mortal clan. This mortal clan happens to be connected to the current clan leader and was devastated by such news. The Xue Clan of Mortal realm was created under his orders to spy on that place and slowly rule over it. He didn't expect someone to dare touch his things. The Xue Clan Leader shouted in anger, "Who dares move on this old man's things!?" A lot of things in the hall were affected by the enraged howl of a golden core cultivator. It affected everything inside the hall, making the elder directly kneel down in the pressure that comes with the shout. As for Xue Lengya, he was intentionally protected by the clan leader before he was badly hurt. He had already fainted, though. The clan leader said, "Send the Young Hei back to his manor!" A few disciples had entered the hall and carried away the unconscious Xue Lengya. Upon hearing that their source of income in the mortal realm was uprooted, it was not only the clan leader but also the elders who were frowning. The Xue Clan being uprooted means that their spies within that clan had also been killed. The culprit for Elder Xue Yan's loss of connection must also be connected to this issue. Though this also means someone in the mortal realm is stronger than Elder Xue Yan, who is an Innateness Stage Cultivator. The elders started worrying that maybe their enemies this time are much more powerful than they expected. "The mortal realm is indeed a place for crouching tigers and dragons. What should we do now, Clan Leader?" An elder asked. The clan leader said, "First, try to know our enemy. Send someone to the Starfield Sect for divination." "Yes, Clan Leader!"
