amonds from our country. He must have used other means to smuggle them to China. I think we should bring him back and investigate thoroughly."After that, he lowered his voice and said: "As long as we...Li Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said, "He's too outstanding. If I stay by his side any longer, what if I fall in love with him"

Chu Lingxi turned her head and looked over, saying curiously, "What's wrong with liking him"

"Of course not, he's too much of a flirt." Li Qingzhu said, "Although he is very excellent, there are too many women around him, and there will be even more in the future."

Chu Lingxi smiled and said, "Then do you like him being a flirt or not being one If he's not a flirt at all, he certainly wouldn't accept you."

"Anyway, I don't like fighting with others over a man. I'll just stay here and help grandpa manage the academy."

Li Qingzhu asked, "Why do you want to stay Why not be with him Do you think he is too fickle as well"

Chu Lingxi shook her head. "That's not true. I don't think the same way you do. It doesn't matter how many women he has, as long as he likes me."

Li Qingzhu asked in surprise, “If that's the case, why are you staying”

Because he liked wasn't me, but a girl named Situ Dianmo.

Chu Lingxi said, "I'm really curious, could there really be two people in the world who look exactly alike"

Li Qingzhu nodded. "There should be."

The Daxing Empire's imperial city, after a short while, Ye Bufan once again stood before the city gate.

Unlike his last hasty retreat, this time he returned here with enough confidence. With his current strength, even if facing the strongest nation in Tianluo Prefecture, he would have no fear whatsoever.

He came back here from the Tianfeng Empire because there were some things he needed to tie up.

In the Ju Bao Pavilion, Luo Yudie sat by the window, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds outside, lost in thought.

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Beauty, which handsome guy are you thinking about"

Luo Yudie trembled all over, as if struck by lightning. She turned around to find Ye Bufan standing behind her with a smile.

"You... when did you come back"

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "Just now, as soon as I returned here, I came to see my elder sister."

Luo Yuchie suddenly thought of something, her expression changed: "How dare you come back here, the Great Xing Empire has issued a death warrant for you now."

"Leave here as quickly as possible!"

"A death warrant That old geezer, Tuo Ba Hong Yi, is truly ruthless."

Ye Bufan still had a faint smile on his face, showing no intention of leaving. Instead, he sat down in the chair beside him.

"Little brother, I'm serious! Go now!" Luo Yudie was extremely anxious. If the Daxing Empire found Ye Bufan here, she wouldn't be able to protect him with her strength.

"Sister, you don't need to worry. It's just a royal family from the Great Xing Empire. Now I don't even look at them."

Ye Bufan pulled her to sit beside him, "I came here this time because there are some things I want to tell you."

"This..."

Luo Yuchie didn't believe him at all. How could one person possibly stand against an entire empire, especially the most powerful one in Tianluo Prefecture

She glanced around warily, making sure no one was watching, before she said, "Whatever you have to say, just get it out quickly and leave here. This isn't a joke."

Ye Bufan said, "I'm going to Tianqiong Prefecture soon. I came over to say goodbye to my elder sister."

Luo Yudie asked: "Tianqiong Prefecture What are you going there for, are you avoiding the imperial family of the Daxing Empire"

"No, I told you, the Daxing Empire is nothing!"

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and asked, "Sister, if one day I leave here, would you be willing to go with me"

He knew this woman had been in love with him, but some things still needed to be made clear.

"Are you going to Tianqiong Prefecture Sure, I'll let Grandpa know, and we can go together. The Zhuge Pavilion also has business there."

"What I'm talking about isn't Tianqiong Prefecture, but a different world entirely."

Since the decision has been made, Ye Bufan no longer holds back and says directly, "Actually, I am not from the Kunlun Continent, but from another world, which is the legendary mortal world."

The people I love and my family are over there. I have to go back. Once I go back, I might not be able to come back here ever again.

"What The mortal realm"

Luo Yudie was shocked. Now she knew why Ye Bufan could take out so many strange and ancient things, because they didn't belong to this world at all.

But the news came as such a shock to her, leaving her deeply unsettled for a long time.

She truly liked the man before her, even fantasizing countless times about the two of them truly being together.

If she were to suddenly leave this world, leave her family and loved ones behind, she hadn't given it any thought.

After a long silence, she spoke in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I still don't want to leave my family."

"It's fine, I understand. Just as I can't give up everything I had before and stay here."

Ye Bufan wasn't surprised by this answer. Unlike Luo Yudie and Lu Xueman and the others, she was a business tycoon in this world.

Asking her to give up the Treasure Pavilion, her career, and follow me to a strange world was indeed a very difficult thing.

He said again, "I've only told you about this, and I ask that you keep it a secret."

"I will."

Lu Yudie hesitated for a moment and said, "Can't you stay here for me"

Ye Bufan shook his head: "I can take you away with me, but staying here is definitely not an option. I have too many ties there."

"Oh!"

A flash of intense disappointment crossed Luo Yudie's eyes, and then she stopped speaking.

The atmosphere in the room grew heavy for a moment. Ye Bufan changed the subject and said, "I came to Tianqiong Prefecture this time because I'm looking for a way back. I'm not familiar with the roads here. How long would it take to fly there"

Luo Yudie took a deep breath, adjusting her emotions. She now understood that Ye Bufan was unaware of the situation here.

"To go to Tianqiong Prefecture, flying there is impossible."

Ye Bufan was stunned: "Why"

In his heart, going to Tianqiong Prefecture meant a long journey. Even at the speed of nine days, it should have taken dozens of days to arrive.

Luo Yudie took a piece of paper and, with a pen, scribbled on it, drawing a rough sketch.

"Have a look, this is the general situation of Kunlun Continent."

Ye Bufan looked down. Although the sketch was simple, its meaning was clear. At once, he saw the distribution of the Kunlun Continent.

Tian Wu Prefecture is to the east, Tian Luo Prefecture to the west, Tian Mang Prefecture to the south, and Tian Qiong Prefecture to the north. In the middle is Tian Sheng Prefecture.

Most importantly, the proportion of these continents is very small, and the rest are blank.

Ye Bufan pointed at those blank spaces and asked, "What is this Is it the ocean"

"Yes, this is the Sea of Demonic Abyss."

Lu Yudie said, "The Youming Sea region is vast, spanning millions of miles."

Distance is secondary; what's crucial is the sheer number of demon beasts. Rumors say a tenth-order demon beast lurks in the deep sea area.

Without the cultivation of the tribulation period, wanting to cross the Demon Abyss Sea to other continents is simply impossible.

Without even mentioning the years it would take, it could cost you your life.

"Hiss!"

Ye Bufan couldn't help but gasp. He had never seen a tenth-order demon beast, but he had witnessed Xia Qing's power after entering the ninth order.

At my current level, if I were to encounter a tenth-order monster, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to escape. I would likely just become its food.

But thinking about the upcoming Monster Competition, there must be ways for different states to communicate with each other.

He asked, "How can one get to the Tianqiong Prefecture"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!t alone dare to question him.Now, suddenly encountering a Rodman who doesn't play by the rules, he stood there awkwardly, at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.For a moment, the entire hall fell...
