Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Terms and Conditions

At this moment, the guards outside Xuanyuan City were checking the household registration and posts.

Someone without a post was driven out by the guards.

"Go, go, it’s the rule of Xuanyuan City. Without a post, you cannot enter."

"Brother, have a heart. I’ll pay more Spirit Stones. I just want to see the Xuanyuan Clan’s once-in-a-century grand ritual."

"Without a post, no entry at all."

The guard’s expression was stern and completely uncompromising.

At this moment, the people around began to murmur among themselves.

"Doesn’t this person understand the rules of the Xuanyuan Clan? It’s not like other clans where you can enter just by wanting to."

"Indeed, traditionally you must have a post, especially for such a grand event held once every hundred years."

"This grand ritual is especially grand this time because the Xuanyuan Clan has appeared a very talented heir."

"I also heard that this time the ritual will be presided over by Young Master Xuan Yuan."

"They say that Young Master Xuan Yuan possesses exceptional beauty, stunning and captivating, but alas, he already has a fiancée, so other females shouldn’t even think about it."

"Previously, even the Second Miss Sikou fancied Young Master Xuan Yuan to no avail. They even tried to force the Xuanyuan Family but it was useless."

"Hush, I heard Lady Sikou not long ago got injured by some restriction, and her life is now uncertain. Do you think it has something to do with the Xuanyuan Family?"

"I don’t know, but supposedly the Sikou Family has arranged many people to search for talisman masters to find the culprit."

"What a joke, talismen have been lost for a long time. There are no talisman masters in this world anymore; if there are, it’s something left from ancient times."

Su Muyao wasn’t surprised by any of this.

When she came, she intended to use a Teleportation Talisman, but drawing a talisman is not an easy task and consumes a lot of superpower.

Moreover, the Cang Beast Continent is different from the Mortal Beast Continent. The Cang Beast Continent seems to have some restrictions, making it difficult to use a Teleportation Talisman. Even if forced, if discovered accidentally, it could cause unnecessary trouble.

And she also heard about Lady Sikou’s news.

As for whether she died or not, no news has spread outside yet.

However, now the Sikou Family suspects that a talisman master has appeared, and they are still searching for one outside.

So Su Muyao thought it best to be cautious and hired a carriage for travel.

The system spoke, "Host, it seems you must have a post to enter Xuanyuan City."

"I estimate that there will be many rules after entering Xuanyuan City as well, and without a post, it would be inconvenient to act."

Su Muyao pondered, "It seems we do need a post, or perhaps we find a Beastman with a post to travel with."

Su Muyao thought about this, observing the surrounding caravans, thinking about which one to join.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look, that’s the carriage of the Bishui Tribe."

"Isn’t the Bishui Tribe in the Southern Territory? With such a distance, why have they come to the northern Xuanyuan Tribe?"

"I don’t know, but it should also be related to the Xuanyuan Clan’s grand ceremony."

Hearing about the Bishui Tribe, Su Muyao’s heart string trembled.

The system was more excited, "Host, it’s the Bishui Tribe. Didn’t Yue Wuhen say before that your mother is from the Bishui Tribe on the Cang Beast Continent?"

Su Muyao certainly also remembered this matter.

She turned her head towards where everyone’s fingers were pointing, and indeed saw a caravan approaching from not far away. The carriage in the middle of the convoy was understated and luxurious, with the carriage walls carved with complex and exquisite patterns, not regular tribal totems, but water pattern lines. These lines interwove and entangled, like flowing water elements.

On closer look, there seemed to be an elusive green water element totem within the water pattern, looking like a living thing that could drift with the water flow at any time.

"Cough, cough..."

Su Muyao focused, vaguely hearing a violent cough from the carriage, as if it would cough out the heart and lungs.

The system said, "Host, the person on the carriage seems to be seriously ill, this is no ordinary cough."

At this moment, someone in the crowd also heard the cough, seemed to know something, and said, "Could it be that the Young Master of the Bishui Tribe is in the carriage?"

"It’s possible. I heard that the Young Master of the Bishui Tribe isn’t doing well and that they have been searching everywhere for a wizard to treat him, but to no avail. Now coming to the Xuanyuan Tribe, it looks like they want to obtain the Divine Water bestowed by the Beast God in the Xuanyuan Clan’s ceremony, which is said to have extremely strong healing effects."

"No wonder the Bishui Tribe came here even with the Xuanyuan Tribe being so far away from them."

"I heard it’s because the Bishui Tribe offended the River God, bringing down punishment, making the Young Master Bishui weak since childhood."

Su Muyao walked forward under the gaze of everyone, not approaching, but passing a message to the person in the carriage from a distance, "Young Master Bishui, I have some medical knowledge, maybe I can cure the heart disease of Young Master Bishui."

Since her mother came from the Bishui Tribe, Su Muyao decided to approach them directly and straightforwardly.

Bi Zhixu on the carriage was suffering from heart disease, and upon hearing this, his eyes narrowed, showing a watery green sheen.

He transmitted his voice from a distance, "What does the girl want?"

Su Muyao smiled. Young Master Bishui was indeed a smart person, "I only hope to enter Xuanyuan City with Young Master Bishui. I don’t have a post, so I must trouble Young Master Bishui."

"Deal."

Bi Zhixu instructed his attendant, and the attendant got off the carriage and walked towards Su Muyao, "Miss, my Young Master invites you."

And so, Su Muyao boarded the carriage under everyone’s watchful eyes.

When she entered the carriage and saw Bi Zhixu, Su Muyao was instantly amazed.

Even though she was accustomed to the extraordinary beauty of people like Wen Nanxi, upon seeing Bi Zhixu, she was still taken aback.

Making her understand what truly meant the autumn water for spirit and jade for bone.

His eyebrows seemed like distant mountains laced with dye, his pupils were an extremely light emerald glaze color, and when he occasionally looked up, it seemed like a clear spring was overflowing from his eyes, softening the hearts of those around him.

A few strands of hair were hanging down beside his cheeks, like willow branches brushed by spring water, as if he was surrounded by a layer of hazy water vapor.

His skin carried a sickly paleness, a blend of frailness and vivaciousness.

Like a Water Fairy Lord walking out from a painting.

Su Muyao was amazed upon entering the carriage, not knowing that Bi Zhixu, seeing Su Muyao, involuntarily paused for a moment too.

Even though he had seen many females, he had to admit that the female in front of him had a radiant, sun-like enchanting temperament, with her icy skin and jade-like bone, bright eyes and white teeth.

"Young Master Bishui, a pleasure to meet you."

"No need for such formalities, Miss can just call me by my name, Bi Zhixu. May I know the name of the young lady?"

Su Muyao did not expect this person’s voice to be so pleasant, like a babbling brook brushing over a blue stone, capable of purifying one’s soul. She replied honestly, "Su Muyao."

Upon hearing these three words, the sandalwood bead string in Bi Zhixu’s hand suddenly fell to the ground with a soft "thud."

Bi Zhixu’s pupils constricted suddenly, the calm in his eyes shattered instantly, revealing a hint of shock.

Seeing his reaction, Su Muyao asked, "Has the Young Master heard of my name?"

His reaction seemed to indicate that he was aware of her existence.

Her mother came from the Bishui Tribe, but she didn’t know what the current situation was.

Did he know her mother, or did his mother mention her before?

Su Muyao stared at Bi Zhixu intently, looking forward to his answer.
