At this time, the Hong Dynasty had not yet formed. Both the Hou Long Sect nor the Hong Clan do not exist. They didn’t become engaged with the cultivation world at such a timeline since there are still conflicts for the crown at this moment. The Xie Clan, meanwhile, did not send any representatives. They look down on any sects who don’t have any Nascent Soul Cultivators like their Clan Leader because they are now the strongest clan in the Mortal Realm.

Bai Wuan is now conversing with Yun Xiajie. In addition, he is making fun of him while they talk.

The two protagonists were talking too much and paying too little attention to their surroundings.

Reactions from the crowd.

“Is that the Ice Demon? He is as beautiful as the rumors but… I never heard anything about him smiling~ he looks more gorgeous now~”

“The disciple beside him looks familiar. Isn’t that Young Master Yun Jieye!? One of the twin clouds of Lan Zhuayun Sect. I heard he is a genius like the Ice Demon.”

“The Ice Demon is at the Peak Establishment Foundation stage at such a young age. Young Master Yun Jieye isn’t that much older than him and has the same strength. No wonder they get along.”

“But Young Master Yun Jaiye is supposed to be in Seclusion, why is he here right now?”

“Actually I heard rumors from the back alleys. A few corpses of Demonic Cultivators were found but were cleaned up by people from the Lan Zhuayun Sect. Do you think Young Master Yun Jieye did that?”

“I think I’ve heard someone saying that they saw the Ice demon roaming around the back alley as well~”

“This is scary. I’ve never expected Demonic Cultivators to appear in our City’s back alleys. Thankfully, the Lan Zhuayun Sect protects this city.”

“Maybe the Ice Demon also helped with the cleanup, that’s why he separated from his siblings…”

“Maybe…”

“Right~…”

The noises around them were also noticed by Bai Qiyin and the rest of the party. They had absolutely no idea that Demonic Cultivators had descended upon the city yesterday as they were enjoying the festive atmosphere in the marketplace for a whole day. Except for the fact that their Senior Brother had left for a while they didn’t notice anything that happened yesterday.

Bai Lili thought back to what had transpired the day before and remarked, “Perhaps this is why Dear Older Brother says he would look for something after leaving us with Brother Yan.”

“Possible. It must be because he collaborated with the Yun Brothers to pursue those Demonic Cultivators last night that Senior Brother Yun Huaye and Brother Wuan unexpectedly arrived at the inn together,” said Jin Shiyan.

Startled, Lu Er says, “Eh? I thought he came because he wanted to check on the visiting disciples for his sect.”

“No~ I think Senior Brother Huayu came to see someone instead~,” said Bai Lili as she looked at her second brother meaningfully.

Lu Er and Jin Shiyan understood the hidden meaning in Bai Lili’s words and also looked at Bai Qiyin with an understanding gaze.

“Oh~”

A bit embarrassed, Bai Qiyin blushed whether it was because he is shy or angry or maybe both no one knows.

“S-Shut up! Don’t look at me like that. I will dig your eyes!” exclaimed Bai Qiyin.

Meanwhile, not far from them, Bai Wuan attempted to hug Yun Xiajie when he first spotted him but the latter quickly evaded.

Bai Wuan calls, “A’Xia~ come on. Don’t dodge me~ give me a hug~”

“You… hmp! Shameless!” said Yun Xiajie.

Bai Wuan says, “I’m only shameless towards you darling~”

“Don’t call me darling!” said Yun Xiajie.

Bai Wuan grins and says, “I will call you A’Xia then…”

“Not my birth name either,” said Yun Xiajie.

“Don’t be like that~ you can also call my birth name. I’m called Anjing. A’Xia can call me Jing’er!”

The Yun Brothers had never before heard Hei Anjing’s birth name. They weren’t close enough to the Bai Family to know what they called one another at home, consequently, his siblings would always address him with the courtesy of calling him a brother. Furthermore, while introducing himself, Bai Wuan would simply use his courtesy name. He never uses his birth name among others. They’ve never heard Bai Wuan’s birth name before.

Yun Xiajie mumbles, “Jing’er… Jing’er… Jing…”

“Yes, darling~ you call~,” said Bai Wuan as he was smiling sweetly at Yun Xiajie who called his name.

There are some others who wanted to call him the same way as they wanted to get closer to him.

Yun Huaxia is one. He was smiling gently when he overheard their conversation and said, “Then… I will follow my younger brother and call you Ji—mhffft!?”

His mouth was covered by a soft hand, when he turned around he saw Bai Qiyin looking so serious.

Bai Qiyin spoke nervously, “B-Brother… He didn’t call it. I stopped him on time… So~”

His face suddenly broke into a beautiful smile that radiates sanctity. With the exception of tenderness and holiness, he resembles a Buddha. like an angel who visited earthly territory. However, only those who knew Bai Wuan intimately understood what this grin signified. Bai Qiyin and Bai Lili were visibly shaken by the sight.

They were frightened enough to avoid glancing at Bai Wuan’s face. Those who felt off were aware that something unexpected had occurred. Yun Huaxia turned his attention from Bai Qiyin to Bai Wuan, who was meant to be standing next to Yun Xiajie but who had unexpectedly appeared in front of him.

His face still has an angelic look about it, yet the calm smile on his lips was in stark contrast to the aura he was creating and the environment surrounding him. It was fueled by intense wrath combined with malice and murderous intent.

“Please never call me by my birth name,” Bai Wuan said sweetly, “Or else I might kill you. Do keep in mind my warning.”

Yun Huaxia responded, “Yes, I will remember,” after feeling the chilly perspiration dripping down his back and nape.

Yun Xiajie saw the discomfort and tension in the air around Bai Wuan and murmured, “Jing’er, don’t do that.”

Bai Wuan, who appeared as though he was going to go on a murder rampage, abruptly reverted to normal after hearing Yun Xiajie’s words. He turned around to hug Yun Xiajie while ignoring Yun Huaxia and the others. This time, Yun Xiajie didn’t dodge his skinship, and neither did he hug him back. He simply let the man cling to him. 𝒆𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙚𝙩

Yun Xiajie and Yun Huaxia exchanged silent glances before the elder brother finally nodded his head to indicate that he was unharmed and that everything was OK.

The first to speak was Young Lord Yun, who said, “You may show him his spot first. Xiao Jie can show him the way. Leave the rest here to me.”

Head nodded in accord. Yun Xiajie responded, “Un. I understand, older brother,” and then dragged or carried Bai Wuan out of the gathering.

The killing intent that Bai Wuan had just released was sensed by almost everyone, and because the majority of the young disciples in the vicinity were weaker than Bai Wuan, they felt the strong pressure of his purely murderous desire. Some people who were weaker than others immediately started to throw up. Others went pale in disbelief, while the others shook with an unidentified horror that had suddenly seized them. The remainder didn’t see their limitations until Bai Wuan broke out of the group.

“Ah! Someone fainted!”

“Hey, brother, are you okay?”

“Don’t vomit here!”

“Medic! Can someone help check this fallen disciple?”

“Call the elders!” ordered Yun Huaxia.

The commotion in the throng had materialized. It wasn’t only someone’s attractiveness that started the ruckus. This is the type of coercion when a strong person exerts pressure on others by exuding an aura. The intensity and purity of Bai Wuan’s murderous purpose would result in considerable intimidation and limits being placed on the target.

…..

Yun Huaxia could feel the tremble in his hand. He had no control over the movement of his body.

He was the one who was hit by Bai Wuan’s murderous intent directly among everyone in the crowd. He almost succumbed to fear. A gentle touch grips his hand as a cooling qi gently seeps into his body to calm his agitated nerves from the recent occurrence.

“Xiao Ying?” Yun Huaxia calls softly.

Bai Qiyin said, “Please don’t call my older brother by his birth name. Aside from us and his family, those who did so all had bad outcomes. Brother never likes it when people call him by his birth name; even though we hardly ever do so. However, outsiders are not allowed to do so. It is improper for strangers to call him by his name without permission.”

“Is there a reason?” asked Yun Huaxia.

“I’ve also questioned my brother once why, but he merely says that birth names are strong. It was tied to the soul and… It is a private thing that can only be shared with family and his other half. Brother is extremely serious about this topic,” said Bai Qiyin.

“Okay. I remember. I will just call him Wuan as he likes. But may I still call you Yin’er like when we were children?” Yun Huaxia said as he held Bai Qiyin’s hand.

Yun Huaxia’s eyes were about to meet Bai Qiyin’s when his cheeks grew crimson and avoided his gaze.

“D-Do as you wish!!” said Bai Qiyin before running away with a red face.

Yun Huaxia was happy to have accomplished his aim and followed the timid Bai Qiyin within the Lan Zhuayun Sect.

“Please wait! You can’t just go like that, Young Lord Huaxia!”

The Lan Zhuayun Sect’s followers who had been abandoned by their superiors whimpered as they were all collectively forgotten.

“Ugh, let’s just divide into groups, one to lead the visiting disciples to the dormitories and the others to tour them about the Sect,” said one of the inner disciples of the sect.

In the end, the disciples that Yun Xiajie and Yun Huaxia left behind knew what to do even if their leaders were no longer there. Each group was directed by a few inner disciples, who also maintained control of the situation at the gates.

The disciples, who had at first been mesmerized by Bai Wuan’s visage, were now terrified as they witnessed him lose his cool. Because of the strength he shows, he stands out from the other disciples, and only their Young Master Jaiye is qualified to speak with him.

On the other side, Yun Xiajie had led Bai Wuan to the courtyard where only the genius disciples stayed. The courtyard lies on a barren mountain peak that belongs to no one. Except for Yun Xiajie, there are no other genius disciples in the Lan Zhuayun Sect, therefore this area has become his own private courtyard. That is until Bai Wuan showed up.

The more Bai Wuan explores the environment, the more he comes to appreciate it.

Bai Wuan smiled at him and remarked, “Hm~ this courtyard is wonderful. Secluded, tranquil and private. I like it a lot, A’Xia.”

Bai Wuan’s smile gave Yun Xiajie the impression that his heart was unable to be controlled.

A vague aching and an unidentified desire to be alone with the person in front of him were present. Despite this, just a few waves of emotion can be seen inside those aureate-hued irises of his.

This area would eventually develop into the Crimson Cloud Peak. The residence of Chun Hongyun-Jun as well as the starting point and future continuation of everything after they were split apart by life and death.??????e??????????el. c????
