CHAPTER 1111: 28. WUQUAN FLOWER

"Yun Xi, when we arrive at Dusk Purple City, I’ll talk to the City Lord about the flying ship," Yaen Yue said.

Yun Xi smiled and shook her head, "I forgot to tell you, I won’t be leaving White Sand Country for the time being." Her parents were coming to find her and her brother, and she just needed to reunite with her brother.

"Then when we get to Dusk Purple City, you should join me at the City Lord’s Mansion for the flower appreciation gathering. Many rare flowers will be featured this time," Yaen Yue suggested. If it weren’t for the rarity of these flowers, he wouldn’t have traveled such a long distance to Dusk Purple City.

"Sure," Lu Lanxi agreed. Yaen Yue had taken everyone on a long trip to Dusk Purple City to admire flowers, it definitely wasn’t an ordinary flower exhibition.

"This flower appreciation gathering will showcase a Wuquan Flower. The Wuquan Flower is not just a flower but also a Level Seven Divine Spirit Herb, which is extremely rare in White Sand Country," Yaen Yue said.

Lu Lanxi’s eyes lit up instantly, "I’ve read about the Wuquan Flower in the Jade Slip."

Yaen Yue nodded with a smile, "The Wuquan Flower grows in Extreme Cold Places, making them very difficult to find. The City Lord’s Mansion is hosting the flower gathering this time because they obtained a Wuquan Flower."

Watching the two talk so happily, Yun Han felt like he was an extra. He frowned and closed his eyes, intending to ignore them. But even without seeing them, he could still hear their laughter and conversation.

This made him very agitated. When they reached Dusk Purple City, he would definitely separate Xixi from that young man.

The beast carriage was very fast, and in just three days, everyone had arrived at Dusk Purple City.

Lu Lanxi leaned out to see the bustling streets filled with people. It was a scene of prosperity similar to the Immortal Realm.

"Yun Xi, why don’t you and Brother Yun stay with us at the Welcome Guests Inn? Many people have come this time for the flower gathering, and it’s hard to find a place to stay," Yaen Yue suggested.

"Alright."

"No need," Lu Lanxi and Yun Han said simultaneously.

Lu Lanxi and Yaen Yue turned to look at Yun Han.

"We’ve already troubled you for so long, we can’t continue to inconvenience you. Xixi and I will find another inn," Yun Han said. He couldn’t let Xixi spend more time with Yaen Yue; otherwise, he’d have difficulty explaining to Luo Shu and the others. His recent strange behavior must be due to his sense of responsibility. Xixi was his junior, and he couldn’t just watch her like someone with unknown background.

"Between friends, there’s no need to talk about inconvenience; unless you don’t consider me a friend," Yaen Yue said, looking at Lu Lanxi and awaiting her response.

Lu Lanxi felt conflicted. She didn’t quite know what to choose. She knew Yaen Yue had feelings for her, but her heart only liked Brother Yun Han. She felt a bit guilty towards Yaen Yue; after all, she was using him to make Brother Yun Han jealous.

After thinking for a while, Lu Lanxi looked at Yaen Yue, "Yaen Yue, we won’t trouble you anymore." She couldn’t knowingly accept Yaen Yue’s affection while continually using him to provoke Brother Yun Han; it wasn’t fair to Yaen Yue.

"It’s not a bother at all; friends ought to help each other," Yaen Yue smiled. Although she and he had been chatting and laughing, he sensed she intentionally kept some distance. Whenever he got close, she’d slightly shift away, maintaining a distance of two hand spans between them. She never showed any bashful expression in his presence, indicating she only considered him as a casual friend. Yet the more she acted like this, the more he liked her.

"My brother and I will first look for another inn. If we can’t find one, then we’ll trouble you," Lu Lanxi said. Once she made a decision, she wouldn’t change it.

Yun Han couldn’t help but smile slightly. This is how it should be!

Yaen Yue slightly frowned, "Alright then, don’t forget the City Lord’s flower gathering is in three days."

"Okay!" Lu Lanxi agreed. Originally, she planned to refuse, but the allure of the Wuquan Flower was just too great.

The beast carriage stopped at the Welcome Guests Inn, and after Lu Lanxi and Yun Han disembarked, they took their leave from Yaen Yue and his group.

"Why isn’t Miss Yun Xi staying with us?"

"I think Miss Yun Xi and Yun Han don’t quite seem like siblings."

"I feel the same way."

Yaen Yue withdrew his gaze and stepped into the inn. Yun Han looked at him like he was a rival, how could he not notice it, yet he still hoped in his heart that they were siblings. Only then would he have a chance.

Yun Han and Lu Lanxi went to a Trade Tower and exchanged all the beast skins and spirit nuclei they had collected in Arc Forest for Divine Crystals. Although they had many items, since they were materials from lower-level Divine Beasts, they didn’t get many Divine Crystals.

They entered a rather ordinary-looking inn and approached the counter.

"Innkeeper, are there any rooms available here?" Yun Han asked. They had already asked several inns and all were fully booked. It showed how many people came for the City Lord’s flower gathering.

"All rooms are booked," the innkeeper replied. Many Loose Cultivators, not just major sects, had come to Dusk Purple City this time. Aside from the City Lord’s flower gathering, the selection for the Green Mountain Secret Realm was also about to start.

"Innkeeper, we’ll take any kind of room, as long as it can accommodate us," Yun Han insisted. He estimated it would be difficult to find a place to stay. Dusk Purple City didn’t allow tents to be set up on streets, and he didn’t want to return to Yaen Yue.

The innkeeper thought for a moment, "We only have a firewood room available now. If you want it, it’s fifty Low Grade Divine Crystals per day."

Yun Han and Lu Lanxi exchanged glances.

Yun Han handed over three hundred Low Grade Divine Crystals to the innkeeper, "Here’s three hundred Low Grade Divine Crystals, we’ll stay for six days." This time, they sold the materials from those Divine Beasts to the Trade Tower. Although they didn’t get many Divine Crystals, it was enough for staying at the inn.
