Ne Zha furrowed his brows when he saw Xia Shiva coming out of the room and saying that she was his team for the Miracle Battle.
"I never invited you into my team," said Ne Zha a little confused.
"Sssshhh..." Xia Shiva raised her index finger in silence.
Patriarch Hong looked confusedly at Xia Shiva as well, he did know the childish nature of the Xia Kingdom's princess but what he saw today was quite convincing.
"Patriarch Hong!" Xia Shiva looked at Patriarch Hong directly.
Xia Shiva's actions made Patriarch Hong's expression sour because of Xia Shiva who didn't respect him when he spoke.
"Where are your manners as a royal princess?!" a domineering voice rang out from the courtyard of the Ne Zha residence.
Ne Zha knew this voice very well.
The door opened and revealed a very alluring figure, a very pleasant body like a demon but a beautiful face like an angel became its own attraction.
"You!!! Su Lihwa!!!" Xia Shiva shouted angrily at the girl who had just arrived.
Yes that beautiful girl is Ne Zha's fiancé Su Lihwa.
Ne Zha sighed harshly and so did Patriarch Hong, they both knew very well that if these two beauties met then there would only be fights without a good ending.
Xia Shiva took the sword from the scabbard then pointed at Su Lihwa with his sword.
Su Lihwa was not afraid he walked slowly towards Xia Shiva and stopped right in front of the tip of Xia Shiva's sword, now the position of Su Lihwa's face was only an inch to be scratched by Xia Shiva's sharp sword.
"You guys! Stop it!" Patriarch Hong raised his voice at this moment.
"Shut up!!!" shouted Su Lihwa and Xia Shiva at the same time while glaring at Patriarch Hong.
"Damn it! If it wasn't for your background then I would have cut you into pieces!" Patriarch Hong growled in his heart.
Ne Zha shook his head slowly at the two girls who were about to fight, he looked at Patriarch Hong then said. "Patriarch, if nothing else is said then I ask for my time. I already have my own team."
The Patriarch saw Ne Zha's stern look and realized that whatever he said would only waste his breath.
"Alright! In that case, I just want you to take one of the Clan disciples for your team," Patriach Hong said.
Ne Zha just stared at Patriarch Hong, neither confirming nor denying the wishes of the Patriarch of the Ne Clan.
Sighing the Patriarch walked out of Ne Zha's residence and climbed onto the stretcher then slowly disappeared from Ne Zha's sight. Now Ne Zha's gaze fell on the two girls who were staring at each other intently like tigers about to go to war or nukes about to explode at any moment.
"You." Ne Zha separated the two girls to opposite sides and was quite far away before continuing, "If you want to be on my team, you should know that I only cooperate with Han Xiao."
The two girls frowned until Su Lihwa asked, "Han Xiao the son of Emperor Yang Qian?"
Ne Zha nodded, "There really is another name for Han Xiao in this South Wind Continent?"
It was true that as far as they knew there was no name Han Xiao in this South Wind Continent that Ne Zha could name other than Emperor Yang's son.
"I don't think he has any cultivation." Su Lihwa frowned in confusion.
Likewise Xia Shiva, because he was born into a noble family he knew very well who Han Xiao was. It was just that he never expected that the young man he had bullied in the small restaurant was this Han Xiao's good friend.
"You'll know when you meet." Ne Zha smiled mysteriously.
***
"Yu'er, this is your room." A handsome and cheerful young man brought a little girl with golden hair into a luxurious room with various decorations.
The golden-haired girl was stunned when she saw this luxurious bedroom, even in her wildest dreams she had never imagined anything like this.
"Pri... Prince Han, aren't you exaggerating? I'm just a slave," said the little girl and lowered her head.
The carefree youth was Han Xiao and the golden-haired little girl was none other than Ren Yanyu. After learning of Han Xiao's identity, Ren Yanyu addressed him as Prince because Han Xiao was the son of Emperor Yang Qian.
"Slave?" Han Xiao was not happy to hear this word. "Who said you were my slave?"
Ren Yanyu's little head was slowly lifted by Han Xiao's hand, "You are my friend, ah no you are my sister." Han Xiao smiled widely.
Indeed this Ren Yanyu was fourteen years old, three years younger than Han Xiao.
"But Prince–" before he could protest Han Xiao was already glaring at Ren Yanyu.
"You don't want to be my sister?"
Seeing Han Xiao's face that looked angry but mixed with sorrow in his eyes made Ren Yanyu a little misty, in the end he just lowered his head again.
Han Xiao shook his head then brought Ren Yanyu to sit by the bed, he looked at Ren Yanyu before asking, "Do you want to have power like me?"
Ren Yanyu raised her head to look at Han Xiao with shining eyes she nodded her head.
"Well first I want to ask you know what a Cultivator is?"
Ren Yanyu shook her head.
"You know this sect from the South Wind Continent?"
Again Ren Yanyu shook her head.
"Well first I will explain what a Cultivator is," said Han Xiao. "A cultivator is someone who walks towards immortality by increasing their cultivation with the natural energy we call Qi."
"Cultivators are divided into many levels starting from the Bronze Realm, Silver Realm, Gold Realm. After that Palace Expansion, in the Bronze Realm to the Silver Realm Qi will forge the body upon reaching the Gold Realm not only the body forged by Qi but also with the soul... "
"The higher one's cultivation level the longer they live, with the bottom line not being killed by someone..."
Han Xiao explained about cultivators slowly to Ren Yanyu, it turned out that this Ren Yanyu was a very intelligent little girl because she could remember everything Han Xiao said in one word.
"I will give you a cultivation manual after I explain the contents of this world of cultivators on the South Wind Continent." Han Xiao smiled cheerfully full of affection at Ren Yanyu.
"In this South Wind Continent there are three Empires namely the Yang Empire, Ren Empire and Ming Empire. But there is a power that has a territory equivalent to these three Empires namely the North Falcon Castle, it is an enormous sect that even the three Empires dare not act recklessly The North Falcon Castle is to the north where there is only a blanket of snow as far as the eye can see."
Ren Yanyu nodded with sparkling eyes upon hearing Han Xiao's explanation, he was an uneducated kid so far as he had only followed his parents selling sweets in the market since he was seven years old.
"Prince Han, is there a sect with great power under the auspices of the empire?"
Han Xiao smiled then continued to explain to the little girl that sects were very rare to follow or fall under the auspices of the Empire, but there were some sects that served as protectors for the imperial family.
An example was the Jade Mountain Sect, it was a huge sect that was very influential for the Ren Empire because of the sect, very few Cultivators dared to cause trouble in the Ren Empire.
The Jade Mountain Sect is a sect that focuses on Magic elements, so this is considered unique because usually other sects will only focus on one or two Elements, not that other sects don't have Magic, but because every disciple must have various Martial Spirits not only Spirits. Elemental Martial Arts.
Next Han Xiao informed the other powerful sects in the South Wind Continent that were not under the auspices of the empire. The Three Swords Sect is a sect for Sword Cultivators. It focuses on swordsmanship and sword-related Sorcery. The Three Swords Sect is unique in that it has three Patriarchs active at the same time and three different sect locations.
Void Spring Sect, when Han Xiao mentioned the name of this sect he sank slightly into hallucinations as he explained. This was a sect that only accepted female disciples, but no one dared to underestimate the sect, apart from its great power the sect also managed the Spring Restaurant and Spring Inn. As for their location, no one knew about it other than the Void Spring Sect disciples themselves.
There is also another unique sect which is the Dragon Spirit Sect, it is a sect that contains Beast Cultivators. This sect maintains many Demonic Beasts and Spirit Beasts that have been tamed even in the Sect there are many beasts that have Dragon blood. Hence the Sect was named the Dragon Spirit Sect.
"Prince, is there a sect behind the Treasure Heavens protecting them? They are big merchants but no one dares to stir up trouble in the Treasure Heaven Pavilion?" asked Ren Yanyu.
Han Xiao nodded then explained again.
Behind the Treasure Heaven Pavilion was the Heaven Treasures Sect itself, this sect established the Treasure Heaven Pavilion and sold every need to Cultivators for example Spirit Tools, Pills, Spirit Plants, Magic Herb, Cultivation Techniques and many more. They also sold information that cultivators needed, for this the sect had so much support behind them that no one would dare to be reckless for the Heaven's Treasure Sect.
There's an old saying, if you touch the Heaven's Treasure Sect it's the same as pulling the South Wind Continent to destroy you.
"That strong." Ren Yanyu was shocked.
Han Xiao nodded, "The Heaven's Treasure Pavilion's branches are scattered throughout the South Wind Continent."
Ren Yanyu was a smart girl so she quickly understood that.
"Prince, you said the strength of the North Falcon Castle is very strong? How strong are they?" Ren Yanyu tilted her head.
"Strong, very strong they are the only sect that focuses on Ice Elemental Daoist Magic," said Han Xiao. "They look like a bunch of icemen to me." Han Xiao laughed as he remembered how cold Bing Xing was to him.
"A bunch of icemen?!" A cold but pleasant voice sounded outside the room.
Han Xiao stared in horror at the slowly opening door then a beautiful figure in a blue dress walked into the room, it was a girl who emitted a cold aura that matched her face when she looked at Han Xiao.
"Yes, a bunch of ice people," said Han Xiao and then looked at Ren Yanyu. "Yu'er do you like the ice man statue?"
Yanyu looked confused by the frightened Han Xiao and suddenly asked him, do you like the ice man statue? Yanyu just looked at Han Xiao in confusion.
"Yu'er?" the girl looked at Han Xiao then Ren Yanyu.
"You ice sculpture," said Han Xiao.
"Hey I have a name!" the girl protested. "And I'm not a statue!"
"Yayaya is up to you." Han Xiao waved his hand. "This is Ren Yanyu, he is my sister."
Han Xiao introduced the golden haired girl to the cold girl.
The girl looked up and down Ren Yanyu, she was in awe of this young Ren Yanyu's beauty.
"Damn it when I feel ugly in front of other girls? And it's also a little girl," the girl thought.
"Hello, I'm Bing Xing." Taking a deep breath Bing Xing stretched out her hand.
Ren Yanyu looked at Han Xiao for a while after seeing Han Xiao nod he shook Bing Xing's hand, "Ren Yanyu."
Ren Yanyu's gentle voice made even Bing Xing as a girl lose in her hallucinations.
"Your voice is so beautiful," said Bing Xing as she regained control of her thoughts.
Ren Yanyu only lowered his head again when he received Bing Xing's praise.
"What are you here for?" asked Han Xiao.
"Let me pass on some general knowledge of the Cultivator world to Ren Yanyu." Bing Xing glared at Han Xiao.
"No need, I've told him right now I'm just explaining some of the powers in this South Wind Continent," said Han Xiao.
Bing Xing didn't care about Han Xiao she took both of Ren Yanyu's hands and pulled her slowly bringing Ren Yanyu to sit on the side of the bed again.
"I will tell you the great figure of the South Wind Continent," said Bing Xing which was answered by a nod from the golden haired girl.
"In the South Wind Continent there are figures referred to as the Three Sages, Six Emperors and Two Saints."
"First I will explain the Six Emperors, you must be confused not because we have three empires but six Emperors?" Bing Xing said.
Ren Yanyu again nodded again.
"These six Emperors are great figures recognized by cultivators as emperors, but only two of them are Emperors of the three empires and the other four are from the powerful sects of the South Wind Continent."
Bing Xing mentioned one by one the Six Emperors and their origins.
The strongest Blood Emperor of the Six Emperors was Emperor Yang Qian. Han Xiao's father.
The title Illusory Emperor belonged to the Ming Emperor of the Ming Empire.
Furthermore the Poison Emperor was held by Feng Wei. The Patriarch of the Poison Abyss Sect, every poison used by Feng Wei is terrifying.
The Sword Emperor was Jian Qi, one of the current patriarchs of the Three Swords Sect. He was the number one Sword Cultivator in the South Wind Continent.
When he got here Bing Xing's eyes were filled with admiration. The Ice Emperor was Bing Donghai, Bing Donghai's strength was only below that of Emperor Yang Qian among the six Emperors.
Compared to the strong Bing Donghai. The Treasure Emperor was the weakest of the entire Six Emperors but no one underestimated him due to the sheer number of high-tier Spirit Tools up his sleeves. He is called a murderer using wealth. Cao Shan, Grand Elder of the Heaven's Treasure Sect.
