Ye Tian Yun smiled when he heard Qing Shen's words.
On the other hand, seeing everyone nod, Qing Shen slightly nodded and continued, "Once in the town, we will first visit a tavern and clean ourselves."
"And then, me and Fu Kai will head out to look for carriages while you guys stay within the tavern - not attracting any attention."
Jun Xie, "Alright, let's do this."
Qing Shen let out a sigh and moved towards the town after saying, "Follow me, let's finish our business here as soon as possible."
After a few minutes, the town was finally visible to them.
Blue Pole Town was a bustling place with many cultivators coming in and out of the town.
Ye Tian Yun and his group did make a few head turns due to the flashy robes. However, it wasn't much of a commotion.
After all, these were traders' robes and famous ones at that.
Fu Clan was not a small deal in the trading business - thus, many cultivators easily recognized them and subconsciously paved the path.
They didn't wish to court death by offending such a big clan.
Soon, the group had entered a tavern as Qing Shen went ahead and booked a few rooms.
"3 rooms." He said.
"Yes, master." The staff at the reception gave a slight smile and arranged a place for everyone.
"How long would you like to stay here?" the staff asked.
Qing Shen thought for a moment and replied, "Make it till tomorrow morning. However, we might leave early."
The staff nodded and scribbled some things.
After a few more formalities, the staff took out three keys and put them on the desk.
"Master, these are the three keys for the rooms. Please head to the third floor. We hope you enjoy your stay. The rooms will be yours for the next twenty-four hours."
Qing Shen nodded his head and went back to the group.
Everyone else had settled on a table and was waiting for Qing Shen to come back.
ONce he returned, Jun Xie asked him, "Brother Qing, how long do you think it will take you to get a few carriages for our journey?"
Qing Shen took out the keys while answering him, "Can't give a guaranteed answer. It will mostly depend on our luck. Let's take three to four hours in consideration to this."
And then, putting the keys on the table, he said, "I have booked three rooms."
"These are mainly to take a good bath and freshen ourselves."
Then turning towards Yuan Shuchun, he said, "Miss, you can choose a room while the men will be using the remaining two."
Yuan Shuchun nodded her head and randomly took one of the keys lying on the table.
Qing Shen then said, "Alright, let's clean ourselves first."
He then gave one key to Fu Kai and took the other key while saying, "Me and Fu Kai will go up first, so we can get ready and head out for the carriages."
"Alright." Jun Xie nodded.
Qing Shen nodded back and gestured to Fu Kai to move along with him.
Once both of them had left, only the disciples from the Gracious Sword Sect remained on the table.
An awkward silence prevailed for a long time, as no one spoke anything.
Even the waiters didn't approach them because the atmosphere was just too weird.
Jun Xie suddenly let out a sigh, "We messed up, guys."
"Hm?" Yuan Shuchun stared at him.
Jun Xie pursed his lips, "We lost four of our disciples."
"Oh."
"..." Jun Xie frowned at them, "You guys aren't feeling anything?"
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Brother Jun, we are cultivators. Life and death can happen in an instant for us. It does sadden me to see my fellow disciples take their last breath. However, now I feel like I am quite used to this feeling."
Xiao Ming rolled his eyes. "Don't act like you have been in many fights."
Ye Tian Yun suddenly had the urge to punch Xiao Ming.
'Motherfucker, I killed you three times. If not for Wang Yao's Emblem Of Time, you wouldn't even be able to scratch me.'�
But in the end, he refrained himself, and Xiao Ming, not noticing Ye Tian Yun's expression, continued to say, "Today was also the first time I went all out. If not for the fact that we need to know the real culprit behind the scenes, I would have definitely cut him into pieces."
Jun Xie let out a sigh, "Yeah, it was definitely hard to control. I wish I could have saved those people."
Xiao Ming nodded his head, and then he suddenly asked, "Do you think.."
Looking to his left and right, he lowered his gaze and slowly whispered, "Do you think it is him who arranged everything?"
"I can't understand what's going on in his mind? Isn't it his son who sent us? Why would he try to sabotage his own son's plan? Also, his son wouldn't dare to do this if he hadn't gotten the permission."
"So what is going on in this guy's head? What is he playing at? So weird."
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yeah, all this was a bit confusing."
Yuan Shuchun added, "Also, don't forget that he wanted to frame his closest ally."
Xiao Ming and Ye Tian Yun nodded their heads.
Everyone in the kingdom knew that Prime Minister Fang Yuan and King Xin were very close friends.
But today, King Xin tried to frame Prime Minister Fang Yuan even at the risk of losing a huge opportunity for his kingdom.
After a few moments, Xiao Ming let out a sigh, "I don't know what you guys think, think of me, this was too much. My hate for politics just increased even more."
"It's better to cultivate and become so powerful that no one dares to say anything against you."
Ye Tian Yun shrugged.
He didn't wish to comment on this point.
Just then, Jun Xie spoke, "There's one more thing that none of us had paid attention to yet."
"Hm?" The three of them stared at him.
Jun Xie pursed his lips and said, "Where was Seventh Peak Master during the ambush? Isn't he supposed to come out in case of an emergency?"
