Chapter 297: Helping Big Brother Get Promoted And Make A Fortune
Right after entering the **Central Region**, everything was an endless desert, but the further one went toward **Heavenly Gate City**, the more fertile the land became.
After crossing the desert, there were lush mountains, forests, and rivers. Green and red flowers replaced the endless yellow sand, and there was much more moisture in the air.
*Clack-clack---*
Along the ancient mountain road, two horses, one big and black and one small and white, carried four people, passing under the lush willow trees on both sides.
Pei Lianxue held the reins in her hands and used Ye Anping as her backrest as she drove the horse lightly. Ye Anping was holding a paper book, reading it with great interest.
Feng Yu Die, just like before, held Ye Anping's waist and sat sideways on the horse's buttocks. She was currently holding a rolled-up leaf flute in one hand, playing a tune that her master had taught her.
"Phii♪~~Phii♪~~"
On the other horse, Su Waner followed Feng Yu Die's example, taking a leaf and playing in unison with her.
Having nothing to do, Pei Lianxue looked up at Ye Anping, and seeing that he was reading very seriously, she didn't bother him. Instead, she leaned out and glanced at Feng Yu Die, her eyebrows slightly raised.
When she saw Pei Lianxue turning her head to look over, Feng Yu Die thought it was because she played the leaf flute well, so she puffed up her chest, raised her head, and played with even more dedication.
"Phiii♪---"
Seeing her reaction, Pei Lianxue turned back and looked at her brother again. Feng Yu Die still liked her, there seemed to be no change, and Brother was also the same as before...
Normally, there shouldn't be any changes between her brother and Feng Yu Die, right?
But lately...
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and decided to trust her brother. If he said he would not fall for Feng Yu Die, then he definitely wouldn't.
Shouldn't...
"Hmm..."
Ye Anping noticed Pei Lianxue fidgeting, so he put down the book and looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Pei Lianxue quickly adjusted her thoughts. "I'm just curious, what are you reading so seriously?"
"It's just something about the Demon King." Ye Anping shrugged. The paper book in his hand was actually just a disguise, as he had asked Xiao Tian to cover the book with the **Heavenly Dao Scroll**.
In this way, others saw him reading a random book, but in reality, he was reading the contents of the *Heavenly Dao Scroll*.
Although he roughly knew the plot, after all, players could not see the *Heavenly Dao Scroll* in the game. They practically had to follow Feng Yu Die's or others' perspectives to encompass the context of the entire story.
If he was asked about the details of many things, he really couldn't explain them clearly.
For example, what exactly did the Demon King want to know from the *Heavenly Dao Scroll*?
This part was briefly mentioned in the game, described in only a few simple sentences: *'After the Demon King learned the truth, he was furious and rebuked everyone present: "Impossible!" Then, he rushed out the door and disappeared.'*
After seeing what was written in the *Heavenly Dao Scroll*, he finally understood why the Demon King was furious.
The things that Hu Mu wanted to know from the scroll were the cause of death of the fox he loved the most in his life and the name of the person who killed her.
He probably still didn't know, but what was recorded in the *Heavenly Dao Scroll* was related to its previous owner.
To be precise, it was the previous owner of the *Heavenly Dao Scroll* that had indirectly killed Hu Mu's wife.
No wonder the Demon King was enraged after learning the truth.
At this moment, Feng Yu Die stopped playing the flute and stretched out her neck before putting her chin on Ye Anping's shoulder. Tilting her head, she asked, "Demon King? What happened to the Demon King?"
"Your predecessor once messed with him."
Ye Anping pushed the book toward her and let her read it by herself, then looked up at the sky and the distant scenery.
Feng Yu Die read it once, then squinted like a little old lady and read it again. "Hmm?"
Pei Lianxue also tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Brother, what happened to the Demon King?"
"It's just some rumors about him. Thinking about it, it's been more than ten days since the Demon King led the ***Demon Clan*** to invade the **Jade Pass**. The city has probably been captured by now. We have to move quickly. I wonder where Brother Liang is..."
As Ye Anping was mid-sentence, Su Waner, who was eavesdropping, suddenly widened her eyes. "You said that the Demon King led the ***Demon Clan*** to invade the **Jade Pass**? Demon King?!!"
"Miss Su, calm down. Even before the final battle, you should have guessed that the beasts attacking the **Jade Pass** were not ordinary, and the only one who can command so many various beasts is the Demon King."
"Then, isn't this the equivalent of the ***Demon Clan*** declaring war on the ***Imperial*** Sect? Will the other sects of the *Immortal Family* sit back and do nothing? What will happen to the **Central Region**? What if the demonic cultivators from the **Eastern Region** take action secretly again... that would be..."
Ye Anping smiled. "The more chaos, the more opportunities to make a fortune, right? Hehe..."
"That's what they say, but this would be a bit too much chaos, right?"
Ye Anping did not answer. Naturally, he could not let the matter develop into a chaotic battle between the ***Demon Clan***, the *Immortal Family*, and the demonic cultivators. In this situation, a mid-stage *Foundation Building* cultivator like him would be helpless.
Now that he had temporarily controlled Su Waner, this troublemaker, it was up to Liang Zhu to live up to expectations.
If he could get a decent position in the *Justice Division* and qualify to meet with the deputy commander of the *Justice Division*, he could enlist the entire *Division* to help.
However, Ye Anping estimated that Liang Zhu was probably just starting now.
Speaking of the devil...
Just as Ye Anping was thinking about this, an eagle cry suddenly came from the sky, and a bald black eagle flew from afar, circling above their heads.
Su Waner raised her head alertly, saw it was a messenger eagle, and asked, "Master Ye, your messenger eagle?"
"My big brother's."
"Your big brother?"
Ye Anping ignored her as he put two fingers into his mouth and whistled. Pei Lianxue understood immediately. She took out the protection sleeve from the storage bag, put it on, raised her arm, and let the eagle land on it.
Ye Anping took off the jade slip attached to the eagle's foot and read it with his spiritual sense. *"Sixth Brother: Following the Justice Division envoy on his way to **First Spring Town** to handle a case."*
"**First Spring Town**..." Ye Anping murmured. "Why did he go? It seems that he didn't get any good position."
Come to think of it, Liang Zhu seemed to really take his time finding a way to get a good position in the *Justice Division*.
After a while, he said, "Sister, let's go east, to the **First Spring Town**. We should arrive just in time to meet him."
"Okay..."
Hearing this, Su Waner looked puzzled. "Why are you going there? Weren't we going to **Heavenly Gate**?"
"Going to help my big brother achieve success, get promoted, and make a fortune."
"..."
Su Waner frowned. This kid also had a big brother? What if it was a mid or late-stage *Core Formation* cultivator? If so, she would have to find a way to escape sooner.
