Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao sighed and looked at his senior. “Senior Sister Miao, if you don’t want Senior Brother Mu to go, you can just tell him. There’s no need to give me this. ”

“You’re thinking too much,” Miao Tinglian said. “Your Senior Brother Mu Qi doesn’t want to go, so I don’t need to tell him. I saw that the invitation was useless for him, so I wanted to give it to you. How old are you this year?”

Jiang Hao hesitated. “Thirty-one.”

He was not young anymore, and for a moment, he didn’t want to reveal his age.

Back when he was in his teens and twenties, he never had these thoughts.

Time had indeed left a significant impact on him.

“Thirty-one?” Miao Tinglian said in surprise. “A few years ago, you were only twenty-four.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Miao Tinglian’s mind was full of romantic matchmaking, and she sometimes pestered him about it.

“Thirty-one, and still single? It’s time to find a partner for you,” Miao Tinglian said seriously.

“Senior Sister Miao, do I have to go to Imperial City to find a partner?” Jiang Hao asked.

“You haven’t found one in the sect so far, have you?” Miao Tinglian asked.

Jiang Hao sighed and then looked at Mu Qi, who was dealing with matters in the distance. Jiang Hao greeted him.

“What did you do this time?” Mu Qi looked at Miao Tinglian helplessly.

“You already have a partner, don’t you? Don’t you care about Junior Brother Jiang?” Miao Tinglian said righteously.

Mu Qi saw the invitation in Jiang Hao’s hand and understood everything. He then said, “If you have time, you can go and take a look. If you don’t, there’s no need to go at all. The royal invitation can be useful, and many people want to go.”

‘Can it be sold?’ Jiang Hao thought.

After a moment of hesitation, he put away the invitation and thanked Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian.

He left before Miao Tinglian could say anything more.

“Jiang Hao seems to have understood. Now, it seems he will go to Imperial City,” said Miao Tinglian as she nudged the person next to her.

Mu Qi glanced at her and said gently, “You might have used reason and emotion to persuade him, which made him see the pros and cons.”

Miao Tinglian snorted. She thought Mu Qi was saying that to make her happy.

Jiang Hao paid no attention to the two of them and focused on his own affairs.

As for the invitation, he would ask around in the vicinity later to see if anyone was interested in it.

The royal family had a significant reputation in the southern region. Although it couldn’t be compared to the Heavenly Note Sect, it had a certain special status in the entire south.

However, being special didn’t mean it was beneficial for him.

Gui was over there, and the Saint Bandits were also in contact with them.

Just these two things meant immense danger. If we went there, he would be dragged into whatever was going on there.

‘Why seek unnecessary trouble?’

It was better to collect bubbles and take care of the herbs.

The days passed quickly.

After instructing Cheng Chou, he went to his courtyard.

He didn’t plan to do anything today because he needed to concentrate and prepare for his advancement tonight.

He had already looked up the changes a few days ago and had even spent 1,500 spirit stones to buy a formation to conceal his aura and changes in the surroundings.

Advancing to a new stage or cultivation realm always required spirit stones. So, he had to earn them diligently.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao went to the living room, took out the invitation, and used his Universe in a Palm ability to seal it.

The invitation wasn’t ordinary. It was too eye-catching.

Then, he went to the bedroom and placed it under the pillow.

After doing that, he went straight to the cultivation room and set up a formation.

He sat cross-legged. On the floor

Instead of rushing to advance, he examined himself. After making sure everything was fine, he adjusted his state to its peak and stabilized his mental state.

He had slept for a while earlier to ensure that there were no hidden inner demons.

Everything was ready. Jiang Hao started extracting his cultivation and lifeblood.

The purple energy covered him.

Not long after Jiang Hao started his advancement, the spirit beast came back. It looked around the front and back of the courtyard to make sure everything was fine.

Then, it lay down beside the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and yawned.

It sniffed the air as it savored the flower’s fragrance and rejuvenated its spirit.

Its eyes were on guard as it observed everything. It wanted to make sure its master wasn’t around.

It then stealthily approached the Heaven Fragrance Dao Flower and stuck out its tongue toward a leaf.

However, when its tongue was about to touch the leaf, it withdrew. It felt that this was too dangerous.

Before it could retract its tongue fully, it suddenly lost consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, the spirit beast, bruised and swollen, was hanging from the wall.

At the same time, a red figure appeared in the courtyard and looked at the wooden house.

She sat on a chair and began to make tea on her own.

In the moonlight, she sipped the tea alone.

A gentle breeze blew, and her robe fluttered lightly. Her hair swayed gently.

The leaves of the tree rustled. The whole place was peaceful.

She placed the teacup down and stared up at the starry sky until the moon faded from view. She didn’t raise the teacup to her lips again.

Yet, steam was still rising from it. It didn’t seem to cool down at all.

The sky began to brighten, and the first rays of the sun appeared.

Only then did she lift the teacup to her lips and sip her tea.

After taking a sip of it, she looked at the spirit beast.

Her slender fingers drew a circle in the air.

A rope tied the spirit beast and hung it from a branch of the Immortal Peach Tree.

Then, she turned to look at the wooden house. It seemed calmer inside than before.

After a little while, she could hear footsteps from inside.

A person walked out of the house after a while. He was dressed in a dark blue outfit, with some white decoration. There were also some red fire patterns at the edges.

He looked good. Ordinary people would definitely find him extraordinary. But in the cultivation world, he was just ordinary.

He looked surprised when he saw her in the courtyard.

“Greetings, Senior,” he said respectfully. “You advanced?” Hong Yuye asked with a smile.

“Yes.”

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao. ‘What cultivation realm have you reached?” “Early stage of the Golden Core Realm,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye smiled. “So you advanced from Foundation Establishment Realm to Golden Core Realm last night in your room?

“Senior, you have keen eyes,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye chuckled and then looked at the spirit beast. “What is that?”

“A spirit beast,” Jiang Hao said.

“What breed?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Evil Beast,” Jiang Hao said.

“Was it evil naturally, or did it become evil after getting close to you?” Hong Yuye asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“Senior, you are joking.” Jiang Hao felt uneasy.

Hong Yuye didn’t say much and went inside.

“Prepare hot water for me,” she instructed as she passed the bathroom.

After that, she headed straight for the second floor.

Footsteps sounded in Jiang Hao’s ears and then disappeared. He assumed she had reached the second floor.

He let out a sigh of relief.

He began to prepare the hot water.

He could do it directly with his technique, so it didn’t take much time.

He called out for her a couple of times, but there was no response. So, he walked up the stairs to the upper floor.

He saw Hong Yuye sitting at the table and looking at a red invitation card.

It was an invitation to a royal marriage..
