Volume 1 The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 62 Lan Xueruo

New Moon Profound Palace occupies a vast area, the central hall is majestic, and countless buildings of various types stretch to the end of the line of sight. Yun Che followed Xia Yuanba towards the residence arranged for him by Sikong Han. I met many New Moon Profound Palace disciples, all of whom were under the age of twenty, and occasionally fifteen or sixteen years old. However, people of this age group were basically in the Elementary Profound Realm. There were quite a few people saying hello to Xia Yuanba along the way. After all, given his age and size, it would be difficult for him to become famous.

"How many disciples are there in New Moon Profound Palace now?" Yun Che asked.

"I remember there were more than three thousand people." Xia Yuanba thought for a while and said, "The age limit for recruiting disciples in the New Moon Profound Palace is from 15 to 18 years old. Generally, they will leave when they reach the age of twenty. A large part of them will leave in the future. They will all join Blue Wind’s official forces.”

"But, brother-in-law, are you really going to attend that banquet tonight?" Xia Yuanba asked worriedly.

"I can see almost all the top forces in Crescent City at once. If I have such an opportunity, of course I want to participate." Yun Che turned his gaze sideways: "Yuanba, you don't seem to want to go. Is there anything wrong with this banquet? ?”

"It's not really a problem, it's just... it's just..." Xia Yuanba hesitated and said angrily: "I heard some time ago that when the previous palace master took office, he also sent out invitations and held a banquet. However, in At that banquet, those sect disciples who were invited came to challenge our New Moon Profound Palace disciples of the same age on the pretext of promoting competition. After ten challenges, our New Moon Profound Palace lost ten games in a row, leaving the new Palace Master He lost his face, and New Moon Profound Palace made the whole city laugh for a long time."

"Haha, these sects are obviously trying to show off to the new palace master, letting him know who is the giant in Crescent City." Yun Che said with a smile.

"That's right." Xia Yuanba nodded and said helplessly: "I heard that it was the same when the previous Palace Master took office. But the new Palace Master has to invite everyone to celebrate, otherwise he will be laughed at by others, even in the end We have lost all face. It will definitely be the same this time. If we go to participate, we might be challenged by them... It doesn't matter if we are defeated, but those people often attack maliciously. Last time, there were two Senior brother was crippled and it seems that he will never recover, and the palace master can only endure it. "

"Every year, a large number of disciples come to New Moon Profound Palace to admire its reputation. Is the strength really so low?" Yun Che frowned.

"Of course it's not that our New Moon Profound Palace is not good, it's just that those big sects are too powerful. Although New Moon Profound Palace was established by the royal family, those sects all have a long history, heritage, resources and inherited profound arts. , none of them can compare with New Moon Profound Palace. Even if they recruit outer disciples, the threshold is much higher than that of New Moon Profound Palace. Moreover, those who enter the Profound Palace established by the royal family usually have the ambition to serve the royal family in the future. The original intention of the establishment of the Imperial Palace was to attract talents to join the Imperial forces. However, those with extremely high talents were generally arrogant and their desire to join a large sect was far greater than that of joining the Imperial forces. Therefore, the average strength of the disciples of the New Moon Academy was low. , It’s better than the small and medium-sized sects in Crescent City, but it’s incomparable to the big sects.”

The situation Xia Yuanba mentioned was actually quite normal. As for Yun Che himself, although he joined New Moon Profound Palace for some reasons, he was just looking for opportunities and never thought about one day going to serve the imperial family. He thought for a moment and asked, "Who in New Moon City is more powerful than New Moon Profound Palace?"

"Well, let me think about it..." Xia Yuanba thought seriously for a while and said slowly: "There are seven in total, namely Xuanxin Sect, Yunyang Sect, Iron Spear Sect, Seven Kills Sword Pavilion, Fengyun Xuan Sect Mansion." After a pause, Xia Yuanba's voice became a little cautious, "These five sects all have a history of more than five hundred or even a thousand years. Their influence in Crescent City is deep-rooted, and their comprehensive strength is even greater. After passing the New Moon Profound Palace, if it weren't for the fact that the New Moon Profound Palace was established by the royal family, they might have suppressed and pushed them out long ago. In addition to these five sects, there are also two giants that even the royal family would never dare to offend. ...They are the branch sects of Xiao Sect and Burning Tian Clan in Crescent City! Although they are only branch sects, they are the two unshakable overlords of Crescent City with Xiao Sect and Burning Tian Clan as their backers."

"A branch of the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan?" Yun Che tapped his chin with his hand. He knew very well that in name it was a branch of the sect, but in fact it was just an "outer sect" whose talents were too low-level and not worthy of staying in the main sect. But they are official "outer sects" after all, not completely abandoned ones like the Xiao Clan.

"However, our New Moon Profound Palace is certainly not that easy to bully." Xia Yuanba patted his chest and said with a look of reluctance: "Although the banquet five years ago caused the New Moon Profound Palace to lose all its dignity, that It was five years ago! Now we also have many geniuses in New Moon Profound Palace, and they are definitely no worse than those sects... Ah, brother-in-law, look, that senior brother is called Li Weihao, he is seventeen years old this year, but he has already entered the Xuan Dynasty. At the third level, I heard that he inherited the family’s mysterious skills and is very powerful.”

"The one over there in white clothes is even more powerful. I think his name is Xu Aoran. He is only eighteen years old and is already at the fifth level of the Nascent Realm! Both of them are in our class. However, our new The most powerful people in Yuexuan Palace are not them, but Senior Brother Murong and Senior Sister Xueruo, the two geniuses recognized by New Yuexuan Palace. The elder will definitely bring them to the banquet tonight. With them here, it will never be the same. Like five years ago..."

At this point, Xia Yuanba's voice suddenly stopped, and in front of them, a young man in a white robe and a girl in a snow-white dress were walking side by side. The man looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall figure, handsome face, and a jade-like spirit. He was a handsome man who could turn a young girl into a lovelorn man in an instant.

And the girl next to him was even more beautiful. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pair of beautiful eyes, cherry lips, and eyebrows like a crescent moon. The most touching thing was the faint smile at the corner of her mouth, which was as warm as incense and wind.

The two people were like a golden boy and a jade girl walking out of a painting. As soon as they appeared, they took away all the glory between heaven and earth. The young man kept saying something next to the girl, constantly looking at the girl's reaction, but the girl always had a warm smile on her face and didn't say anything. Although she was only taking a light step forward, it was as if one could see a fairy in white dancing gracefully, especially her long white neck, which made her exude a noble and elegant hazy temperament in her beauty, as if one could see the princess who should be in the royal family.

"What a beautiful girl." Yun Che exclaimed in his heart. Although her face was not as beautiful as Xia Qingyue's, she was definitely one in a million and stunningly beautiful. And the hazy and noble temperament on her was incomparable to Xia Qingyue. What amazed Yun Che the most was the peace in her eyes and expression. Generally speaking, girls who were so beautiful would have more or less arrogance, and his wife Xia Qingyue was the most typical representative. But this girl had a gentle temperament, her eyes were as soft as water, and there was no trace of arrogance between her eyebrows. The natural smile at the corner of her mouth almost melted people's hearts at a glance.

"Brother Murong, Sister Xueruo!"

While Yun Che was silently admiring the girl, Xia Yuanba pulled him up and took the initiative to greet her.

Murong? Xueruo? Hmm? Could this be the two people Yuanba mentioned just now... Yun Che thought in his heart.

"Brother Xia, do you want to go back to your residence to rest?" Seeing Xia Yuanba, the girl smiled and greeted him. When her voice sounded, Yun Che suddenly felt a warm current flowing slowly from his ears to his heart, because this voice was really too soft and too pleasant. Just simply listening to this voice was an indescribable enjoyment. When he came into close contact with her eyes, he could clearly feel how soft and intoxicating her eyes and smile were.

At this time, the girl looked at Yun Che and asked curiously, "Who is this..."

"Hey, he is my brother-in-law, who just entered our Xuanzhi Mansion today. He is in the same class as us!" Xia Yuanba said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, they are Brother Murong Ye and Sister Lan Xueruo, who I just mentioned to you. They are the most outstanding brothers and sisters in our Xinyue Xuan Mansion this year."

Yun Che took a step forward with a polite smile on his face: "Hello, brothers and sisters, I am Yun Che, a little brother, I have just entered Xuanzhi Mansion, and I hope you will take care of me in the future."

Murong Ye nodded slightly as a response. His eyes stayed on Yun Che for a while and then moved away, with a deep pride between his eyebrows. There was also a hint of dissatisfaction, obviously unhappy that they disturbed his and Lan Xueruo's "two-person world".

"Oh? You're also in our class?" Lan Xueruo took a good look at Yun Che and laughed: "You look so young, but you've already entered the first level of the Profound Realm. No wonder Elder Sikong would snatch you into the first class. If those beautiful girls in the class knew that there was such a handsome new junior brother, they would be so happy. Junior brother, you must be careful. Eh? No, Junior Brother Xia seemed to call you 'brother-in-law' just now. Could it be that you're married?"

Before Yun Che could answer, Xia Yuanba said: "Yes, yes. Although my brother-in-law is only sixteen years old this year, he married my sister half a year ago."

"Oh~~~ So Junior Brother Yun is only sixteen years old. He's in a hurry to get married so early, it seems that the bride must be very beautiful." Lan Ruoxue said with a smile.

"Ahahaha... Anyway, please take care of me in the future, senior brothers and sisters." Yun Che smiled awkwardly, then turned his eyes and said to Lan Xueruo with a smile: "I guess, senior sister Xueruo must not be a local, right?"

"Oh? How do you know?" Lan Xueruo blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Because I feel that Xinyue City is impetuous and the spiritual energy is a bit turbid, it should not give birth to a beautiful woman like senior sister Xueruo."

Lan Xueruo was slightly startled, then her pink lips slightly curved, and her slender eyebrows curved: "Junior brother Yun is not only good-looking, but also very talented, and so sweet. It's a pity that junior brother Yun is already married, otherwise, senior sister might... Hehe."

Lan Xueruo was obviously a naughty joke, but Murong Ye beside him suddenly raised his eyebrows and glared at Yun Che fiercely.

Yun Che seemed not to see it at all, and said to Lan Xueruo with a smile: "It doesn't matter, my wife promised me that she would never object to me finding another wife."
