Wu Shattered Star River

Although Jiang Han signed the life-and-death agreement, he didn't plan to kill anyone. He was just afraid of the trouble that would arise if he accidentally lost control and killed someone.

Huang Yan's words were harsh, but Jiang Han wouldn't kill someone over such a trivial matter. He came up to fight just to inquire about Jiang Li from Chunyu Yan.

The whole place was silent. Many people had mocked Jiang Han earlier, and now their faces were flushed with shame, silently slapped in the face.

Jiang Han didn't retract his long saber, his gaze calmly fixed on Huang Yan as he asked, "Do you concede?"

"Drip, drip!"

Sweat dripped from Huang Yan's forehead, and his body was still trembling.

He really didn't want to concede. He had lost a lot of face today, and it would likely become a lifelong humiliation.

But he was very clear that they had signed a life-and-death agreement. If he didn't concede, the saber hanging over his head would likely come down.

His eyes flickered, and he finally gritted his teeth and lowered his head, saying, "I concede!"

"Buzz ~"

Jiang Han sheathed his saber and turned his gaze to the old man on the battle stage. The old man cast a streak of light, and the divine array of the Battle Hall was deactivated.

"Whoosh!"

Huang Yan had no face to stay here. His body shot up into the air, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance.

Jiang Han turned his gaze to Chunyu Yan, who smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Jiang, Chunyu Yan keeps her word. However… would Young Master Jiang like to ask more questions? Would you like to fight a few more matches?"

"No, thank you!"

Jiang Han directly refused, his dislike for Chunyu Yan growing even stronger.

This woman was a troublemaker who loved to stir things up. He didn't want to be too high-profile and didn't want to needlessly offend many enemies.

"Very well!"

Chunyu Yan nodded slightly and said, "Then please come to Listening Rain Pavilion, where Chunyu Yan will be waiting to welcome you."

"I am a convict; I cannot enter Heavenly Chaos City!"

Jiang Han pointed to the word 'convict' on his head and said, "I only want to inquire about a piece of news. Could Miss Chunyu please come down the mountain? Just for a moment."

"Certainly!"

Chunyu Yan nodded readily. Jiang Han's body leaped from the battle stage and headed down the small mountain.

Chunyu Yan smiled charmingly, her jade feet lightly touching the ground as her body soared into the air. The two women in green robes beside her followed behind.

Jiang Han arrived at the foot of the mountain and found a secluded place to wait quietly.

Before long, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Chunyu Yan floated down. The two women stayed hundreds of feet behind.

The two women didn't come over, guarding from afar.

Chunyu Yan glanced at the bare rocks nearby and smiled, "Young Master Jiang, it seems you truly have something to discuss?"

Jiang Han was too lazy to waste words with Chunyu Yan and went straight to the point, asking, "I would like to inquire about the recent situation of someone from Miss Chunyu. She is also from your Azure Clothes Palace."

Chunyu Yan was slightly surprised and asked, "Who?"

"Jiang Li!"

Jiang Han thought for a moment and said, "She should be almost thirteen years old now. More than two years ago, she was taken away from Yun Province in the Nine Provinces Continent by one of your Great Azure Clothes."

"Jiang Li?"

Chunyu Yan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know her information!"

Jiang Han's face darkened, and he suspiciously scrutinized Chunyu Yan, asking, "Miss Chunyu Yan wouldn't be deceiving me, would you?"

"Hehe!"

Chunyu Yan smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Jiang may not be very familiar with our Azure Clothes Palace. The disciples of our Soul and Charm Palaces are called Inner Courtyard disciples before they complete their training. They can only stay in the Inner Courtyard and cannot leave even half a step."

"Only when the master feels that they have learned enough will they be allowed to go out. If they never meet the master's requirements in their lifetime, they will never be able to contact outsiders and will be Inner Courtyard disciples for life."

"Although I am the Young Palace Master of the Charm Palace, it is just to facilitate travel outside. It is just an identity and does not count as a high-level position within the palace."

"Only the Great Azure Clothes and Small Azure Clothes are qualified to know the situation of the Azure Clothes Palace Inner Courtyard disciples. So… I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Chunyu Yan's words were very sincere, at least she appeared to be very sincere.

Jiang Han stared blankly at her, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes. He paused for a moment, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Miss Chunyu. Farewell!"

After speaking, Jiang Han turned to leave without any hesitation. Chunyu Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait!"

Jiang Han stopped and turned to ask, "Does Miss Chunyu have any further instructions?"

Chunyu Yan smiled charmingly. This smile was different from an ordinary smile; she used her charm technique, making Jiang Han stare blankly.

Her eyes carried a hint of reproach as she said, "Young Master Jiang, am I, Chunyu Yan, so repulsive to you? You don't even want to say a few more words to me?"

After a moment, Jiang Han's eyes gradually regained their clarity, and his aversion to Chunyu Yan grew even stronger.

He said coldly, "I am not some young master; I am just a lowly convict. Miss Chunyu is a favored daughter of heaven, so why waste time on me?"

"Hehe!"

Chunyu Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "Jiang Li is your sister? Although I don't know her situation, I am, after all, the Young Palace Master of the Charm Palace, and I still have some channels and connections…"

Chunyu Yan's words were very subtle, but the meaning was clear—she still had a way to find out about Jiang Li's situation. As for whether or not she would help, that would depend on Jiang Han's performance.

"No need!"

Jiang Han refused decisively, not wanting to have any entanglement with this woman. He said coldly, "Farewell!"

After speaking, Jiang Han didn't stop any longer, his figure flying away into the distance.

Watching Jiang Han's departing back, Chunyu Yan's face gradually darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She didn't care whether Jiang Han was a young master or not. She was even less concerned about the relationship between Jiang Li and Jiang Han.

The reason she was angry was that a lowly convict, a mere Mountain Sea Realm cultivator, actually treated her like this?

Avoiding her like the plague?

As the Young Palace Master of the Charm Palace, the most outstanding disciple of this generation, she couldn't even charm a young man?

At this moment, she doubted her own charm and charm techniques for the first time!

She was confident that her appearance was exceptional and that her charm techniques had reached a very profound level.

As soon as she arrived in Heavenly Chaos City, the young masters in the city were so captivated by her that they lost their way. Liu Zheng and Lu Tianxi, two geniuses on the New Talent List, went to the battle stage for her.

She believed that with just a word from her, many young masters would go through fire and water for her, climbing mountains of knives and plunging into seas of fire.

Now, a young man didn't even want to say a few more words to her and didn't want to stay with her for even a moment?

If Jiang Han didn't like beautiful women, that would be one thing. But when she used her charm technique, Jiang Han clearly showed signs of being moved and infatuated.

This showed that Jiang Han's orientation was not the problem. Since that was the case, what was the problem?

Chunyu Yan didn't know!

So, she was very annoyed and felt a sense of frustration.

"Whoosh!"

Two female disciples of the Azure Clothes Palace approached. One of them looked at the departing Jiang Han and said to Chunyu Yan, "Young Palace Master, what's the situation with this person?"

"I don't know!"

Chunyu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing inside. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "No matter what his situation is, in short… he has offended me."

"His sentence is several hundred years long, so there's no rush. Help me investigate his situation, and also send a message back to the palace to investigate a disciple named Jiang Li. I have plenty of time to slowly play with him."
