Of course, Li You Ran had to change the topic here. If he didn’t do so, then there was no way they could continue. Were they supposed to just let it be awkward?

“What business could you have?” Old Master Jun wasn’t as polite to Li You Ran as he was to the three Saints, straight out pouring sarcasm. He rubbed his hands as if he were reminiscing the pleasant feeling from that day when he had slapped Li You Ran.

“I heard that Princess Ling Meng was almost assassinated and her life was in danger. Now that she is recuperating in the Jun Residence, I wish to pay her a visit, haha, after all, we were childhood friends who grew up together. And Princess Ling Meng is of distinguished status; it isn’t right of me to not visit her. I’m not wrong to say this, right? Old Master Jun...”

“Hm, you do have a point there; of course we won’t stop you from visiting her, but Princess Ling Meng is still in a state of unconsciousness. When you go and visit her, please do not disturb her!” Jun Zhan Tian agreed simply after giving it some thought.

If they could not even visit Ling Meng, then wouldn’t it suggest that the Jun Family obviously had a guilty conscience? Besides, it seemed like the preparations there were already ready....Hehe...

“Thank you, Old Master Jun!” Li You Ran gave his thanks politely. Jun Zhan Tian laughed and called Old Pang to lead them to visit Princess Ling Meng.

Just as the three Saints got up, so did Jun Zhan Tian, who stood up to send them out, seemingly reluctant to bid them goodbye. But the trio felt extremely awkward and didn’t wish to stay for even a second longer...

That single ‘it’s not time yet’ had thoroughly hurt their pride... We are Saints! Goddamnit, not even giving us a little respect...

Following Old Pang, who was doing his catwalk and swinging his butt, was much better than meeting this Old Master Jun again! Because at least Old Pang was unaware of this matter...

The five of them walked in a row into the inner courtyard of the Jun Residence. With Old Pang gracefully doing his catwalk and leading the way, the three Saints forcefully resisted the urge to kill the man and trailed behind Li You Ran, carefully analyzing the surroundings secretly.

Suddenly, all three of them noticed at the same time, that the air they were walking towards was odd! There was a burst of warmth and a refreshing feeling; it even had a tinge of the atmosphere of spring! Warm... Soft...

The three of them snapped back to their senses, and a series of curses appeared in their minds. It can’t be... Are we going to the place of that person? Isn’t that the same as delivering a lamb into the tiger’s den?! F*ck!

The aura became more refreshing and soothing as they headed forward. But the look on the faces of the three Saints also became heavier!

Tian Xiang City was closer to the north, and although it was already the second day of the second month of the year, the ice and snow outside showed no signs of melting!

But in the Jun Residence, it was a different world! Especially deeper into the house—the farther you went, the more it felt like the beginning of spring!

The willows on both sides of the path seemed a little limp, but the willow trees a couple of steps forwards seemed to have a tinge of green to its branches. A greater surprise awaited them a few steps ahead: the willows were already popping out some small and tender green shoots!

At the end of the path was Jun Mo Xie’s courtyard. After Jun Mo Xie left, Princess Ling Meng had been recuperating in here.

Because everything they saw on their way here clearly indicated that the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was within this courtyard!

The two willow trees at the door were already sprouting with lush green leaves, hovering and swaying around. The perimeter walls of the courtyard were covered by the tentacles of countless of greenery.... An entire wall of roses covered it!

Waves of refreshing fragrance of flora could be smelt coming from the inside.

The three Saints inhaled a breath of cold air.

Oh my God!

Roses go in full bloom during warm seasons!

This strange scene that existed purely in delusions actually happened in front of everyone!

This was a peculiar event that was incomprehensible!

The drizzle moistened my gown with wet apricot, the wind caressing my face with willows chills ¹.

A poetic scene like had appeared before them, but it sent chills in the hearts of the three Saints!

Their hearts felt as cold as ice!

Defying the Heavens!

This was an act of creation that defied the Heavens!

Something completely unheard of in all of history!

There were two other courtyards on both sides. Though the other two were also green and lush, they were not as special as this one in the center! Clearly, it was a result of the influence from this courtyard in the middle!

At this moment, the three Saints had no room to advance or retreat!

The three of them knew clearly that this elegant and cozy courtyard was the opened mouth of a demon! As long as they entered it today, their lives would no longer be under their own control!

And they would immediately become puppets at the mercy of Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master!

To enter or not enter?

The trio started to begrudge Li You Ran in their hearts at the same time. If we had directly taken our leave, there wouldn’t be many problems; at the most, we only shamed ourselves. Then you just had to insist on visiting some princess! Great, just great, we just stepped right into a trap...

Looks like our three lives will be completely given away thanks to you!

The despondence in their hearts could not be expressed in words!

Old Pang, who was catwalking in front and leading the way, and Li You Ran were astonished by the three Saints who had suddenly become hesitant. The two looked at the trio. What was going on?

Old Pang really didn’t understand. As the saying went, the older the wiser. Old Pang had already noticed that these three people’s capabilities were inscrutable, but he could tell that they were much higher than those he had met before—at least higher than Venerable Mei—so he had taken extra precautions.

Li You Ran was a little confused. With Old Master Jun’s character, since he allowed us to enter and visit, even if there was some unrivalled master present, he would not launch a sudden attack. What’s more, you three are already experts with the cultivation of a Saint; why are you still so cowardly? Was it so difficult to understand the ways of the world?

Left without a choice, the three laughed bitterly. Whatever. Since we are already here, if we were to turn back without stepping inside... Then do we still have the face to leave our mark in the pugilistic world? It’s better to be beaten to death rather than being frightened to death.

With this thought, the three of them continued to walk. Each step was coupled with great caution, and they all wore relatively tragic expressions. It’s not that they didn’t know the ways of the world. But the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was famous for his fighting prowess and being iniquitous and unreasonable; as long as he didn’t like the sight of you, he would attack you!

“Three seniors, could it be that there is something wrong about this place?” Li You Ran whispered carefully after observing their faces. Then he took another look at the place. Nothing seems off; this is just where Jun Mo Xie stays. I’ve visited before, and more than once! Or could it be that my own cultivation level is still too low, making it difficult to notice the huge danger lurking within?

Wrong? It’s beyond just ‘wrong’! How can an ignorant junior like you pry into this great mystery between heaven and earth!

The three Saints wore a dark expression and scoffed. They ignored Li You Ran and continued walking.

Li You Ran knew he was being ignored, and rubbing his nose, he followed inside as well.

“It really is a unique courtyard!” Li You Ran exclaimed as he stepped inside.

The areas within the courtyard was verdant and lush. Red flowers contrasted nicely against their green leaves, and hundreds of beautiful flowers of brilliant hues were in full bloom! Be it the wintersweet that only bloomed in the cold winter, or the gold chrysanthemums that bloomed in autumn. or the orchids that bloomed in spring, or white lotus that bloomed in summer, they all swayed gracefully in the wind.

A scenery like this, if it were placed in summer, autumn, or spring, there would be nothing odd about it!

But the problem here was... It was still winter! This was too incomprehensible!

But Li You Ran’s ‘unique’ remark made the faces of the three Saints twitch.Unique?! If you see our dead bodies lying on the ground, with our brains are split open, you’ll find it even more f*cking unique!

To think you can praise such an eerie, terrifying, bizzare place with so much admiration in your face.

We are in a huge crisis here, you ignorant fool!

Just then, a odd voice said, “Who are you guys? What is your purpose here?”

Following the direction of the voice, they were greeted by the sight of two children who were looking over at them with cold eyes. These two children held short swords and were missing a limb on their left and right arm each!

Two cripples! Extremely mediocre and disabled children!

But!

These two disabled children might have been young and mediocre, but every inch of them made other people feel a cold, killing intent!

Goddamnit! As expected, an abnormal place will have abnormal people! Two random crippled children were born cold-blooded killers! Did you see the brutality and coldness in those two pairs of eyes? A gaze that views human lives as mere nothing! How many people have they killed?

Even a general who had crawled his way back through heaps of corpses and oceans of blood in his many years of being on the battlefield was unlikely to even have such a huge killing intent like them! The few of us have lived for a few hundred years, but the fresh blood on our hands may not even be comparable to these two children...

Then looking at the short swords in the hands of these two children, the three Saints were taken aback again! The blades of the swords were narrow, long and sharp, with a faint shade of the colour of blood. It clearly had seen blood, and definitely multiple times; only a sword that was nourished with human blood could have such colour!

There were no hand guards, no tassels... and most likely no scabbards either! There were only two deep fullers on the sword body!

These were clearly swords meant for killing! And always ready to kill, whenever and wherever!

Another thing that had surprised the three Saints was that the two children before them really mediocre abilities; even if they had an expert to guide them, it would be unlikely for them to achieve anything great. But upon a closer look, these two kids did not develop a solid foundation from young, but had achieved their current Earth Xuan cultivation within a short period of time! This was enough to make the jaws of countless people drop!

A person who achieved an Earth Xuan cultivation at ten years old wasn’t rare or surprising. It was possible if one was talented and well-endowed, and had built a solid foundation from young. But how did these two disabled kids achieve this level of cultivation with their endowments and foundation?
