Jiang Caiyue felt an intense discomfort in her stomach but patiently said, "When the time comes and your divine abilities are vast, enabling you to ascend to the sky and burrow into the earth with nothing impossible, finding a person wouldn't be very easy?"

"Oh," Ye Qing nodded with disinterest, then said, "I've heard it's very dangerous here, can you protect him together with me?"

"..." Jiang Caiyue had the urge to drag Chu Mo out and thrash him, then ask him: Are you doing this on purpose? Do you know your maid is blindly loyal to you to the extreme, and you left in such a carefree manner because you knew she would beg me to protect you?

However, Jiang Caiyue still remained rational and had her own judgment towards things. Thinking of that calm face, she understood that the person wasn't thinking like that.

"Fine, I promise you! I'll put the word out, but remember, I have enemies too. When the time comes, if my enemies start hating him because of this, seek to trouble him, and go to kill him, don't blame me," Jiang Caiyue stated.

"Then... let's forget about it for now. If he is in danger, we'll just go help him," Ye Qing said weakly.

"..." Jiang Caiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes and said: "My dear disciple, you win!"

Ye Qing also felt she was being somewhat excessive and then lowered her head, her face flushing as she said, "The young master, he saved my life, saved many others' lives too. He is a good person."

"Good person... Alright then." In Jiang Caiyue's world, there are no good or bad people, only friends and enemies. But she truly was interested in Chu Mo, if her attentions hadn't been solely focused on Ye Qing before, she certainly wouldn't have overlooked Chu Mo. That's a rare talent; enthralling to have close by her side. Now, having barely managed to deal with Ye Qing, her interest in Chu Mo reignited.

She pondered inwardly, whether bringing Ye Qing's young master over to her side would affect her. After much consideration, she decided not to do so. If that brat were to die in the Trial Field, at most Ye Qing would grieve for some years, but would wholeheartedly follow her!

That's right, that's how it will be. I won't actively harm him, but I also won't protect him!

Although that's what she thought internally, Jiang Caiyue was still quite curious about Chu Mo and asked, "Can you tell me about yourself, about your young master?"

Ye Qing had received hints from Chu Mo before, and upon hearing this, she nodded and said, "I can, I come from..."

The more Jiang Caiyue listened, the greater the astonishment in her eyes became, and in the end, she finally understood why Ye Qing was nothing like a cultivator. It turns out, she and her young master had known each other for less than half a year!

Turns out, she came from that place!

The world that was used by the Luotian Imperial Clan to exile criminals!

My goodness!

No wonder she knows nothing, no wonder she's so naive; still having the concept of good and bad people in her mind. So that's how it is!

However, her young master... Jiang Caiyue furrowed her brows and started to ponder seriously.

He actually entered that world first, then exterminated every single Tree Monster in that world? And afterward, he brought Ye Qing, a Fire Phoenix Body and exceptional Heavenly Genius, into the Trial Field!

Sorting it out...

Light flickered in Jiang Caiyue's eyes.

Firstly, he's very strong!

This is beyond doubt; Ye Qing just mentioned that when they first entered the Trial Field, they encountered a creature from the Supreme Realm, but he was suppressed by her young master!

While a Supreme Realm creature is not equal to a Supreme Realm cultivator, not just anyone can suppress it.

This requires an incredibly powerful combat ability.

Secondly, he actually knew that Ye Qing was a Fire Phoenix Body! How did he know that? This question made Jiang Caiyue's curiosity about Chu Mo's identity grow.

In the entire Luotian Immortal Domain, not many people could see through that Ye Qing was a Fire Phoenix Body at first glance. Even saints couldn't easily discern it!

Let alone a Quasi-Supreme.

Thirdly, who is he? How did he enter that exiled land? Until now, Ye Qing doesn't know his name, of course, it may also be possible that she knows but doesn't want to say.

Jiang Caiyue thought to herself: To be able to extinguish Tree Monsters in that exiled land using divine abilities, even she... can't do it!

Is he from the Luotian Imperial Clan?

If Chu Mo were here and heard Jiang Caiyue's thoughts, he would break out in cold sweat. This woman's intellect was terrifying!

Chu Mo allowed Ye Qing to reveal certain matters because he knew Ye Qing couldn't hide them! She had no background whatsoever, not from any great domain, and this fact couldn't be concealed from others.

Therefore, he, as Ye Qing's young master, could certainly not be from that place either. After all, others aren't fools.

But Chu Mo couldn't have imagined that Jiang Caiyue could infer so much from just a little bit of information, even guessing that he was of the Luotian Imperial Clan!

"Something's not quite right..." Jiang Caiyue furrowed her brows and muttered to herself, thinking: Although there are many members of the Luotian Imperial Clan, I should know all the outstanding ones. Who would be so kind as to go to that place to subdue demons and eliminate evil spirits? And who would have the astute eye to recognize the Fire Phoenix Body at a glance?

But if he isn't from the Luotian Imperial Clan, on what basis could he perform divine abilities there?

As the princess of the Jiang Family, Jiang Caiyue knew secrets far beyond what the average person could imagine. She even knew that a princess of the Luotian Imperial Clan went to the Yanhuang Domain, fell in love with someone, and bore a child. This provoked the anger of the Luotian Imperial Clan, and she was placed under house arrest for many years. She also knew that the child was connected to a vague legend, involved with an ancient prophecy...

Of course, Jiang Caiyue didn't know anything deeper than that. But, having known this much was already terrifying. Because even many members of the Luotian Imperial Clan were not aware of these things.

"Your young master... hehehe, is quite mysterious." Jiang Caiyue looked at Ye Qing meaningfully, then said, "I reckon he should be able to survive in the Trial Field, so you don't need to worry too much. Just stick with me obediently, starting from tomorrow, I'll first teach you a set of mental techniques. Then I'll give you a set of cultivation methods! The ones you cultivated before, given that it hasn't been long, just give them up, it's no loss."

"Ah? Can it really be done like this?" Ye Qing looked at Jiang Caiyue cautiously, timidly replied: "But I feel like the cultivation method I'm practicing now is quite good?"

"No, no, no, you don't have to give up what you're cultivating now, but you must cultivate what I give you!" Jiang Caiyue said in a no-room-for-argument tone, seriously speaking, "Ye Qing, remember, one day you will understand my intentions. I am your master, although we haven't held the ceremony yet. In this world, it's unlikely to find a third person with a similar constitution to us as master and disciple! So, I have no ulterior motives towards you and will never harm you. I only want to see you grow. Our master-disciple relationship will also be a good tale in the future!"

Ye Qing, feeling somewhat moved, said: "I understand, thank you!"

Although slightly unsatisfied that Ye Qing hadn't addressed her as master, Jiang Caiyue was still very happy with Ye Qing's attitude. Whatever the case, she had finally let go of her previous guard and began to accept her.

...…

When Chu Mo woke up early the next day, something occurred to him, so he ran to ask the innkeeper.

"If I want to get on the Heaven and Earth Rankings, what do I need to do?"

The innkeeper looked at Chu Mo earnestly for a good while, after confirming he wasn't sleep-talking nonsense, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Go to Reincarnation Creek, then choose any name on the Heaven and Earth Rankings, read the name with your divine sense, and then, you'll be teleported near that person. Defeat or kill him, and you can replace him!"

Light flickered in Chu Mo's eyes: "Anytime, anywhere?"

"Right, anytime, anywhere, however, each person can only challenge once a year; as for those on the Heaven and Earth Rankings, there's no limit on being challenged," the innkeeper said.

"Ah? Isn't that very unfair for the people on the rankings?" Chu Mo said instinctively, then added, "No wonder the killings on the Trial Field are so fierce, this is also a reason, right?"

"Smart!" The innkeeper gave Chu Mo a thumbs-up and praised with a laugh: "Definitely one of the reasons. Think about it, who wants to be disturbed indefinitely? Anyone wants to challenge they go for it. Although cultivators don't need to sleep, but what if at that moment... he or she is doing something else. For example... hehehe..." The innkeeper's face showed a sly grin, "Imagine if at that time, someone suddenly pops up and says I want to challenge you, what would you think if you were them?"

"They'll be teleported right next to you?" Chu Mo's mouth twitched, and he was similarly covered in cold sweat.

"No, that would turn into assassination. They'll be teleported within thirty thousand miles. But that's already very close, isn't it?" The innkeeper looked at Chu Mo: "Does thirty thousand miles count as distance to any cultivator above the Quasi-Supreme Realm?"

"Indeed not..." Chu Mo forced a smile.

"So, those ranked on the lists, generally speaking, will not let any challenger go. Only through ruthless killings can they deter those who overestimate themselves. Cough cough... I'm not referring to you, but still, my advice for you, young man, you seem quite agreeable to me, is better not to be impulsive. Seriously, these are my heartfelt words. You should first inquire about the combat strength of those ranked, then decide. Moreover, once you're on the list, even if it's just the mortal list, you'll immediately become well-known. But that's not necessarily a good thing. Because from that point on, others, at any time and place... can challenge you!" The innkeeper looked at Chu Mo very sincerely.

Chu Mo nodded his head and sincerely thanked the innkeeper: "Thank you for giving me so much advice!"

"Don't mention it, hope to see you again next time." The innkeeper said, watching Chu Mo depart. In truth, he had seen too many cultivators like this young one over the years. Most were young Supremes. They believed themselves to be the strongest in their realm.

The result, well... he never saw many of them a second time.

Of course, perhaps they achieved their goals and left the Trial Field, who knows. One can only hope for the best.

Five days later, Chu Mo left the inn. Alone and quietly, he hit the road, his destination — Reincarnation Creek!
