The Sky Poison Pearl

This voice shocked Yun Che for a moment. He turned around and confusedly looked at the imposing man in front of him…. Ah no, it's still young! Upon seeing his figure, no one would believe that he was merely a fifteen-year-old youth. With a height of over two meters and twenty or thirty centimeters, his entire body was even more stocky; the muscle beams were piled high, and just by standing there, he looked like a small mountain….

“Yuanba! Why are you here?" Yun Che said with a completely astonished face. This stunning burly young man was actually Xia Qingyue's younger brother, and her only best friend since Xia Yuanba's young age!

"Sister-in-law, this is really you!" Seeing Yun Che's face, Xia Yuanba's voice became louder as he rushed over with a face filled with shock and excitement. As he ran, even the ground trembled slightly; if one looked at Xia Yuanba's posture, it seemed like he would come for the bear's embrace. Yun Che felt his scalp numb, and subconsciously took two steps back. If he was hugged like this, suffered a broken bone.

"Stop-stop-stop-stop-stop-stop!" Yun Che quickly waved his hand, stopping the excited Xia Yuanba who was about to hug him. He then looked at her from head to toe, and asked again: "Yuanba, why are you in this place?"

“I should have asked this question to sister-in-law.” Xia Yuanba's face flushed with excitement: “Half a year ago, I heard you were expelled from your clan. I've been looking for you for days but I still failed to find you. Phew, it's really good you're okay. I think something has happened to you, and I haven't been able to sleep at all for the past six months.

Xia Yuanba's shock and worry came completely from the bottom of his heart. In this world, other than Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi, the only people who cared about him were his childhood friends, Xia Yuanba. With a heart moved, Yun Che stepped forward and patted his strong arm: “Keep, my life is so difficult, how could something happen to me? Being expelled from the Xiao Clan was actually a good thing; the outside world was much more beautiful than the Floating Awa city where we spent ten years or so living. These past six months I have continued to walk west and only today have I arrived in New Moon City. So that you are here…. Don't you tell me?

Yun Che looked to the side and glanced at the large and attention-grabbing New Moon Palace's nameplate.

“Hehe, Sister-in-law is really smart. I am currently entering the New Moon Palace.” As he spoke of the New Moon Palace, Yuanba's face revealed a hint of pride: "I have come here six months ago, and I have also entered First Class."

“Class One? Is it difficult to enter this class?” Listening to Xia Yuanba's tone, this "Class One" looked extremely astonishing.

"Of course." Xia Yuanba nodded and arrogantly said: “Class One was taught by the Great elder himself. The requirements to get into First Class are the highest; you must have enough talent, or. Hehe, have enough connections.

Yun Che remembered that six months ago, Xia Yuanba was at the fourth level of the Basic Realm. At this age, that level could only be considered mediocre and not even a penny away from "good enough talent"; meaning that it could only be the last. Yun Che asked with a face full of suspicion: “Your family has a relationship with the New Moon Palace right?”

Xia Yuanba replied while laughing shyly: “Oh. In fact, when grandfather was young, he often visited New Moon city and made good friends here. The friend then became one of the Deputy Chiefs of the New Moon Palace. Therefore, not only did I not take the exam to enter New Bull Palace, but I also entered First Class.”

Yun Che did not answer Xia Yuanba's question but instead asked as he raised his head: "The Great Elder you spoke of who oversaw First Class, is he called Sikong Han?"

“Eh? Thas right. That's Elder Sikong. Brother-in-law, didn't you just arrive at New Moon city? How do you know about Elder Sikong?” Xia Yuanba asked as he rubbed his head.

“She and my grandfather had a relationship; before I left the Floating Cloud city, Grandpa told me to come and find him.” Yun Che said.

When she heard what Yun Che said, Xia Yuanba's eyes instantly brightened, as she excitedly replied: “It's so good! Elder Sikong's influence was very high in New Moon City, and he also treated others very well. If he and Grandpa Xiao knew each other, maybe he could arrange a place for you to stay. Mmm, it would be even better if he could arrange a place inside the New Moon Palace.”.

Yun Che started smiling: “Then take me to find him.”

Actually, Yun Che did not intend to stay for long in New Moon city, because under the sky, everywhere was his training ground. Merely, he was unwilling to ignore his grandfather's hard-earned wish and also wanted to see if he could get some sort of chance from Sikong Han.

"Oh well." Xia Yuanba immediately nodded. Then, his expression suddenly paused for a moment as he reached out his hand to scratch his ear: “But, it is not certain that you can see him today. Because today happens to be the day of the new Chief's appointment, and the night is still a feast of congratulations. I heard that all the famous sects and clans in the influential New Moon City will all be there; elder Sikong should be busy preparing for it.”

Yun Che thought for a while, and said: “So it's like this. Let's keep going and visit it. We'd better get to see him, and if we can't meet him, then we'll delay for tomorrow.”

"Oh well."

Immediately, Xia Yuanba brought Yun Che and walked towards the main entrance of the New Moon Palace. At the main entrance, both were stopped. The young gatekeeper extended his hand in front of Yun Che and blocked him: "Not Palace disciples are allowed to enter."

Xia Yuanba quickly said: "Sister Zhan, he is my brother-in-law, and has business with Elder Sikong."
