Ling Tian let out a sigh and said, "We better not place our hopes in that item. Since you have already consumed a spiritual herb and had a large improvement in your cultivation, this Great Cyclic Pellet is a useless item to you and there isn't a need for you to think about it."

Li Xue responded with an 'Mmm' as she tied a final knot on Ling Tian's bandages, "All done!"

Ling Tian looked at his own body and almost burst out laughing. With his attention being distracted by his conversation with Li Xue, he never noticed that his wounds were fully bandaged already. However, the way it was bandaged was just too…

Ling Tian let out a bitter laughter as he looked at Li Xue, "Li Xue, the Dragon Boat Festival is over already and you haven't had enough dumplings?"

As Li Xue scanned Ling Tian's current appearance, she couldn't help but burst out into laughter at the uncanny resemblance Ling Tian had to a dumpling!

Seeing Ling Tian's depressed look, Li Xue chuckled and kissed Ling Tian on the cheek as she consoled, "Alright, alright, even if I haven't had enough dumplings, I wouldn't swallow young noble Ling. Be good, don't be angry. Hehe…"

Bright Jade City.

After Yu ManTang and Yu ManTian had bid farewell to their brother, they took a hundred-plus followers out from the western gate!

Along the way, Yu ManTang was obviously extremely troubled and even the usually boorish and optimistic Yu ManTian was silent and depressed.

"Big brother has really changed a lot recently." Yu ManTang looked at the red clouds on the horizon and let out a sigh, "He has changed to the point I can no longer recognize him. Is he still our big brother, Yu ManLou?!"

"Huh?" Yu ManTian asked in confusion, "Second brother, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you think that big brother is actually someone else in disguise? How can that be possible? How can there be such an amazing face changing technique in the world? While big brother has made many vexing decisions recently, he is still big brother!"

"You! You are truly clueless about everything! I am obviously not talking about someone disguising himself as big brother but how he has become overly ambitious and impatient recently. If it was in the past, it wouldn't be of any concern to me. But now, this may not be a good thing for our Yu Family." Yu ManTang glared at Yu ManTian as he thought to himself, Talking to this fellow is no different from a chicken talking to a duck. I wonder if I will go crazy from anger in this trip!

"I don't really think so. As that fellow grows older, his temper has become much better. He is much better towards you because you both like to scheme against others. In the past, it has always been both of you scheming against others together. If not for BingYan being involved this round, you would probably be on his side also!" Yu ManTian pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, "Towards me, I think he only knows how to beat me up! However, this daddy here can't fight back!"

"Who are you calling this daddy? You dare to call yourself daddy when talking to your second brother?!" Yu ManTang flew into a rage. However, because he understood his third brother's character and didn't know how to reprimand Yu ManTian, he could only let things slide, "Third brother, when are you going to change the way you speak? Big brother has scolded you about it countless of times already and you now dare to call yourself daddy in front of me? Do you believe that I will send you back right now? Isn't your daddy the same as my daddy?"

Yu ManTian chuckled with a 'what can you do to me' expression. But the next moment, he also let out a long sigh.

This fellow also knows how to sigh? Yu ManTang looked at his third brother curiously. Ever since his third brother was born, Yu ManTang had almost never seen him sighing before. Just what had happened to his third brother today? Even this boorish fellow knows how to feel depressed?

Seeing his second brother's doubtful gaze, Yu ManTian urged his horse to move up faster but didn't say another word. In the past few days, he had been thinking of the six little brothers of his in Sky Bearing. Those days were truly wonderful… However, could they be the assassins of the First Pavilion? Their swordplay was truly made for killing. Especially that Ling Jian, capable of killing an individual without blinking his eyes!

If those few brats are the assassins of the First Pavilion, just what should I do? Should I tell big brother about it? If I tell him, big brother will definitely kill them without a second word. He would rather kill the wrong person than risk letting the culprit go! However, what if they weren't from the First Pavilion? Wouldn't I be harming them? What good seedlings… Without them around, who would spar with me in future?

Thus, Third Master Yu had been feeling extremely troubled for the past few days. While one of the reasons for him to volunteer to go to the Lei Family was to protect his second brother, it was also a way for him to escape from his frustrations. At the very least, it was better than him acting like a thief with a guilty conscience.

With regards to the matter between the Ling and Yu Family, Third Master Yu felt that whether from the perspective of morals or reason, his family was the one in the wrong. However, he was trapped in the middle and felt extremely miserable about it. He definitely couldn't face his conscience if he were to help his own family and it would be impossible for him to help the Ling Family. If he chose not to help either party, he also felt extremely horrible. Thus, he decided to escape from everything for a period of time!

With big brother's martial arts, as long as he doesn't meet that Martial Order Medallion owner, he will definitely be fine. With Ling Tian's martial arts, he would definitely be able to make it out alive. Just let them do whatever they want! Third Master Yu thought to himself.

If Yu ManLou knew of his third brother's thoughts, he would definitely regret sending Yu ManTian away at such a critical moment. If there was someone in the world who would be able to make a full retreat from the elites of the First Pavilion, it would definitely be Third Master Yu! Furthermore, Third Master Yu was also the only person who could expose the relationship Ling Tian had with the First Pavilion!

Was this the so-called, 'a thousand considerations by a foolish individual would definitely hit the spot somewhere'?!

"... when the Lei Family wanted to enter Heavenly Star back then, they were stopped by our Yu Family. The Lei Family Head, Lei ZhenTian personally came to negotiate the matter with big brother but both you and I were not present. After that, the Lei Family retreated for some reason and never mentioned the matter of entering Heavenly Star again. However, the strength of the Lei Family was already not to be underestimated back then and after developing over the past few years, who knows how well developed they are now. Furthermore, they have close ties with the Moon Deity Empire and can be said to be a single entity. For us to invite their entry this time and being on the passive side, I really don't know if this is a blessing or misfortune…"

"Who cares about that?" With his attention being shifted, Yu ManTian returned to his usual boorish self, "If they dare to act unbridled, we just have to beat them back again!"

"Idiot! Our Yu Family blocked them from entering back then and has already lost a great deal of face by inviting them in now! At that time, do you expect us to chase them out again?" Yu ManTang felt his blood boiling. "Furthermore, the present situation is extremely odd. With so many things happening in our family currently, why would big brother want to send the both of us out? If it was only for this matter, I wouldn't believe it for sure!"

Yu ManTian held onto the reins with a single hand as his head drooped down sleepily.

"I think big brother's arrangement is to avoid us, so he can deal with Ling Tian without any obstructions." Yu ManTang let out a long sigh with his brows furrowed, "We can only hope for that child to have good fortune and deal with the matter himself. Even if we stay behind, we wouldn't be able to change anything and would be stuck in a dilemma. Big brother's actions can also be considered kind."

After letting out a self-depreciating chuckle, he looked towards Yu ManTian.

A loud roar sounded.

"Yu ManTian! You b*st*rd! This daddy is talking to you, and you dare to doze off!"

"Ah… who hit this daddy? Ah…" Amid Yu ManTian's goans, two horses sped up suddenly and a loud roar could be heard, "You little brat had better not run away! When I catch up to you, I will beat you to death! You darn b*st*rd!"

At a position not too far away, a male and female were hidden in the bushes, witnessing the troops gradually leaving their sights. The white-dressed male then muttered, "Strange, with the storms stirring in the Yu Family, why would Yu ManLou send both of his brothers out? If he was afraid that Yu ManTian would ruin his affairs, that would still be an acceptable explanation. However, that Yu ManTang is a wise individual and can be considered as one of the few strategists in the continent currently. Why would Yu ManLou send him out at such a time and further thin out the strength of his Yu Family? Could it be that Yu ManLou has something else to rely on? Could it be that he has other trump cards?"

By his side, the blue-dressed lady twitched her lips, "Why bother thinking so much about it? You just need to go in and ask. Furthermore, this can be considered something good for you, right?"

The white-dressed man nodded and a smile surfaced on his lips, "Li Xue, we are about to enter Bright Jade City and we definitely can't enter with our original appearance. What should we do? Do you want to dress up as my maid or study attendant?"

"Why are both of my character choices your servant?" Li Xue snorted, "Aren't you a little too good at taking advantage of me? I won't choose either one."

"Then how do you want to go in?" the white-dressed man was naturally Ling Tian. With their speed, they had arrived at Bright Jade City in a short half a day. After a night of rest, they were brimming with energy, and Ling Tian had finally tidied up his meridians up to the ninth stage with the correct Divine Shocking Dragon Formula.

"How do I want to go in?" Li Xue thought for a moment before giggling, "Why don't you dress up as my maid?! With your elegant appearance and fair skin, I would definitely take pity on you! If not we can dress up as a husband and wife pair and sneak into the city. Wouldn't our disguise be even more perfect? There definitely isn't a better idea than these two! You can choose one of them!"

"Cough cough cough…" Ling Tian began coughing incessantly…
