Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Fairy Luo
Yue Hai contracted a strange illness that even the royal physicians of Changming Country were incapable of treating, yet in Shi Hao’s hands, it was a mere trifle.
He prescribed a few herbal medicines, clearly stating that recovery was guaranteed within three days.
This made the Yue Family skeptical; it seemed far too exaggerated.
To say ten days or half a month might be reasonable, but a mere three days?
You should take a good look at yourself; though you have a handsome face, your lack of experience is written all over it, and your work can surely not be reliable.
How could White Cloud Sect send such a youngster over? Could it be that Yue Junxian’s influence in the sect was so insignificant?

However, Shi Hao was a disciple of White Cloud Sect, and even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to offend him. After he prepared the medicines, they arranged accommodations for him.
As night passed, Shi Hao carried out his regular cultivation practice the next morning. This time, he didn’t bring any medicinal bath ingredients and had to make do with simply cultivating the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.
When he finished cultivating, he heard footsteps.
“Are you the one sent by White Cloud Sect?” A young man in his twenties appeared before Shi Hao.
The way he spoke was quite impolite.
Shi Hao gave him a glance and said indifferently, “That’s right.”
“If my uncle’s illness isn’t cured, I’ll never let you off the hook!” The young man spoke arrogantly, and seeing Shi Hao raise an eyebrow, he continued, “Don’t be offended! My cousin, as soon as he enters White Cloud Sect, will surely be at the Core Disciple level, far beyond someone you can hope to look up to.”
“Don’t think I don’t know. You’re just a minor apprentice in the Pill Yard, so don’t try to scare me with the name of White Cloud Sect!”
The young man was full of aggressive energy. “Only my uncle and the others would be scared by you; I’m not afraid at all!”
Shi Hao smiled, “What if I do cure him?”
“That’s your duty. However, I wouldn’t mind taking you out to see the wide world beyond,” the young man replied.
“I don’t like your attitude,” Shi Hao stated.
“Heh, with your status and position, even if you don’t like it, you’ll have to endure,” the young man said boisterously.
Shi Hao shook his head and reached out to grab the young man.
“You’re really overconfident!” The young man sneered, also reaching out a hand towards Shi Hao.
He was fully confident, being a Primary Level martial master himself, while Shi Hao was just sixteen years old and still learning alchemy techniques. Could he possibly compare with his own Combat Power?
However, the reality was entirely different from what he had expected.
His hand was forcibly shaken off by Shi Hao, then swiftly grasped by the neck.
“Ugh—” The young man immediately began to struggle.
But he wasn’t a match for Shi Hao’s strength, as he was lifted into the air, vainly flailing about.
He felt like he couldn’t breathe, his face turned deathly pale, and the intense suffocation made everything in front of him go dark, death drawing terrifyingly close.
Just when he was on the brink of death, Shi Hao finally threw him aside.
“Huff! Huff!” The young man quickly gasped for air, his gaze towards Shi Hao no longer fierce but filled with profound fear.
“Don’t court death,” Shi Hao said coolly, then waved his hand, “Scram.”
The young man no longer dared to act arrogantly, and swiftly turned to run away.
Of course, he wasn’t willing to let it go and immediately sought out Yue Junxian.
“Where is Junxian?” He asked around looking for someone.
“Young master, Fairy Junxian has gone to the Haiyun Club,” finally, someone knew where Yue Junxian had gone.
“As expected, he’s there again!” The young man muttered to himself; his name was Yue Hui.
He immediately set out, heading towards the Haiyun Club.
…
Shi Hao, sitting idle, decided to go out for a stroll.
To read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles; cultivation shouldn’t always be confined to one’s room. One must go out and about, which could also be beneficial for cultivation.
Strolling through the streets of the city, he was comparing it to the Imperial Capital of Hua Yuan Nation.
While both were under the rule of White Cloud Sect, there were still many differences in the architectural styles, allowing Shi Hao to experience the diverse local customs and culture, and feeling that his horizons were somewhat broadened.
“… Fairy Luo is holding another tea ceremony event today, quickly go and have a look.”
“Pfft, as if you could even get in, so what’s the point of going?”
“But that’s Fairy Luo, even just to catch a glimpse of her from afar is worth it!”
“Fine, let’s go and take a look then.”
On the street, two young men were talking, and although they weren’t speaking loudly, Shi Hao’s hearing was good, and he heard them loud and clear.
He didn’t pay much attention to it but after walking a bit further, he heard at least ten similar conversations.
Huh, who is this Fairy Luo, to be so charming?
Seeing that it was on his way, Shi Hao also followed the crowd.
Soon, he arrived at the place.
Haiyun Club.
Shi Hao glanced at the club’s signboard and saw that a large crowd was gathered at the entrance, all shut out and turned away.
Listening to people’s discussions, he quickly learned that to enter the tea ceremony, one needed to first prove their strength.
Interesting.
Having nothing better to do, Shi Hao strode over.
“Another one who overestimates himself.”
“Tsk, but he is really handsome.”
“Haha, being handsome doesn’t increase combat power.”
“Hehe, just watch him get kicked out.”
Many people murmured softly, feeling a great pressure from Shi Hao’s good looks.
They had seen handsome men before, but someone this handsome was truly one of a kind.
As Shi Hao approached the entrance, he saw that the gatekeeper was actually a young girl, dressed in a maid’s outfit.
Huh?
When the maid saw Shi Hao, she was startled too, her face showed a look of fascination, and uncontrollably, her previously tightly stretched face relaxed into a sweet smile.
“I’ve seen the young master!” The maid bowed slightly.
This left the crowd almost fainting.
This maid, named Xia He, might appear delicate by her name, but her temperament was anything but mild; there wasn’t a person here she hadn’t scolded harshly.
But now, she showed such a gentle side that left the crowd with their tongues hanging out.
All because of Shi Hao.
Being handsome has too many advantages.
Shi Hao nodded slightly and said, “I want to go in.”
“Please, young master,” Xia He said with a lovestruck expression.
“Hmm, no need to test combat power?” Shi Hao found it strange.
“Oh! Oh!” Xia He snapped back to reality, her pretty face blushing.
Preoccupied with staring at the handsome man, her mind went blank.
But just looking at such handsome features, letting him in was no issue; she could take full responsibility.
“I trust the young master,” she decided swiftly. How could she possibly raise her hand against someone so good-looking?
“Then, thank you.” Shi Hao smiled and entered through the gate.
What the heck!
The people outside were not having it, protesting one after another.
“What’s with the noise? Believe it or not, I’ll gouge out the eyeballs of anyone who keeps shouting,” Xia He watched as Shi Hao’s figure disappeared, then she turned around, and the gentleness on her face vanished completely, replaced by a ferociously sinister look.
The crowd immediately fell silent. This girl had a fierce combat power, and they were indeed no match for her; otherwise, they wouldn’t be stuck waiting outside.
