"Little one, come here."
An Tao had just sat down and waved to the waiter.
"Two fairies, what kind of spirit tea would you like? We have all kinds of spirit teas in our shop," the waiter said enthusiastically, bowing as he greeted them.
An Tao directly threw him a low-grade spirit stone and asked with curiosity, "Three days ago, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky. What happened?"
Hearing An Tao's words, the waiter's expression turned serious. "Two fairies may not know, but a Sovereign-level Great Expert has fallen."
An Tao couldn't help but exclaim, "How could a Sovereign-level Great Expert's death cause such a phenomenon?"
"How is that possible? It looked like someone was fighting!" An Tao and Chu Lingwei had seen faint spiritual energy fluctuations in the sky above the swamp; it was clearly a battle.
The waiter's voice grew even softer. "Two fairies may not know, but the Great Expert Yuchuan of the Myriad Saints Sect has fallen, and the news has spread throughout the entire Profound Heaven Continent."
An Tao gasped. Since they could even mention his name, it must be true.
"Do you know who killed the Great Expert of the Myriad Saints Sect..." An Tao dared not finish. If the people from the Myriad Saints Sect heard, she would be in trouble.
"This humble one does not know," the waiter said quickly, waving his hands. Even if he knew, he couldn't say anything.
"Alright, just bring a pot of spirit tea." An Tao was in a very bad mood. So, the palpitations she felt were the fear of a Great Expert's demise.
Chu Lingwei had already known this outcome, but upon hearing it, she still felt a little strange.
Yuchuan was one of the Great Experts who had been looking for Grandpa Yu that day, and for the past three days, she no longer felt the sensation of being watched.
Could it be that Yuchuan was the one who had been watching her all along?
But he died in the swamp. Could it be too much of a coincidence?
"Phantom Cat, do you really not know how Yuchuan died?"
"I don't know. I only know that his soul was annihilated by someone." Phantom Cat shook its head. Cultivating to the Great Expert level meant their souls were extraordinarily strong.
Some Great Experts, unable to break through and unwilling to accept their demise, would find ways to protect their souls and wait for a suitable time to be reborn.
Yuchuan's soul was directly crushed and annihilated, which was why they felt a tremor of fear; it was the dread of death experienced by a Great Expert.
"That's terrifying," Chu Lingwei couldn't help but murmur.
"Yes, it's simply terrifying," An Tao nodded. Thinking back to how she had felt a premonition then, it was truly terrifying.
"I didn't expect the Myriad Saints Sect to have another Sovereign-level Great Expert. Few people on the Profound Heaven Continent even knew about it," An Tao patted her chest, sighing.
If this Sovereign-level Great Expert of the Myriad Saints Sect could support their Sect Leader, perhaps the Myriad Saints Sect would be much stronger than it was now.
Chu Lingwei smiled and said nothing. The entire Profound Heaven Continent knew now, but the person was already gone.
After leaving the spirit tea house, both of them felt relaxed.
"Let's find an inn to settle down first, and then we can properly explore Golden Sun. It doesn't seem much smaller than Wangtian City."
An Tao looked around, curious about everything.
"Okay, let's find an inn to stay in first." Chu Lingwei had no particular requirements for an inn. Their true destination was Suling City; this was just a transit point. If there were no issues, they would leave tomorrow.
The two of them found a relatively large inn by the street, booked two superior rooms, and retired to their respective rooms.
"Weiwei, I don't want to stay in the spirit beast bag all the time." As Chu Lingwei released Feng Ming from the spirit beast bag, she heard her complaint.
Why could Phantom Cat stay in the space, while she was confined to the spirit beast bag?
"But if you stay in the spirit beast bag, you can come out anytime."
Chu Lingwei picked up Feng Ming and gently stroked her fur. "Don't you want to be able to come out anytime?"
Feng Ming was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
Phantom Cat stayed in the space and generally wouldn't come out, because if they frequently entered and exited the space, they would be discovered by the Great Experts following them.
"Then, can I not enter the spirit beast bag for now?" Feng Ming looked at Chu Lingwei pleadingly. She had been in the spirit beast bag for three days and three nights and was very bored.
"Yes, you can stay outside if you want to." Chu Lingwei placed her on the bed and walked to the window, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street. A smile played on her lips. "Already being targeted so soon?"
"Weiwei, I feel like the person following us has disappeared." Phantom Cat transmitted a message to Chu Lingwei from within the space.
"Hmm, don't be careless."
They still couldn't be sure if Yuchuan was the one who had been following them.
Phantom Cat glanced at Yu Qinghong, who was fishing by the waterfall, feeling a little dejected. He seemed to be having a great time here.
"Weiwei, I sense someone following us." A moment later, An Tao entered Chu Lingwei's room, her eyes cautious. "These people have very high cultivation. We are no match for them."
"Do you recognize these people?"
They had only just arrived in Golden Sun and had only visited the spirit tea house. How could they have been targeted so quickly?
"No, how could I recognize such people?" An Tao snorted. "Those people have shifty eyes. They look like trouble. We should find a way to deal with them."
The sword in An Tao's hand was almost unsheathed. Her sword loved to slay such evil people.
"Okay, when do you want to act? I'll cooperate with you."
Chu Lingwei sensed that they were about to be surrounded. These people were too audacious.
"Fairy, your spirit cuisine is here." At that moment, the waiter stood at the door, his voice enthusiastic.
"Come in," Chu Lingwei waved her hand gently, and the door opened. The waiter entered with the spirit cuisine, paused slightly upon seeing An Tao, and respectfully placed the dishes on the table. "Two fairies, are you dining together?"
"Yes, bring my spirit cuisine here as well." An Tao slammed her sword onto the table, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
The waiter paused, then quickly lowered his head, replied, and retreated.
Chu Lingwei raised an eyebrow slightly. She had not missed the look of regret and sympathy in the waiter's eyes.
He was probably pitying them.
Soon, the waiter brought in the spirit cuisine. "Two fairies, please enjoy."
"Wait." Chu Lingwei called out to the waiter as he turned to leave. "Has anything interesting happened here recently? Tell us about it."
An Tao nodded, sat at the table, took a spirit stone from her pocket and gave it to the waiter. "Tell us in detail."
"In a few days, Golden Sun will be holding a Courtesan of the Flower competition. It will be very lively," the waiter said happily, taking the spirit stone and thanking them before speaking loudly.
"Courtesan of the Flower?!"
An Tao's face showed displeasure. She knew what a Courtesan of the Flower was.
