🌸 Single part 🌸

Xiao Xingchen asked himself why he was unlucky. "I should have listened to Baoshan Sanren and stayed on the mountain, but no, I had to listen to my adventurous spirit," he thought as he walked slowly along with a boy with long hair and black clothes.

He kept wondering when he allowed himself to be convinced to have that man for a partner. He had met him just a year earlier, when Xingchen took it upon himself to capture the person who had wiped out an entire clan. Honestly, he thought it was a non-human being, since he had always had faith in people. When he lived on the mountain with his teacher and his cultivation brothers, they all had great hearts, there was never a case of evil and Baoshan Sanren would not allow it either. He was quite surprised when he discovered that the person responsible for the more than fifty deaths was a boy of about eighteen with a mocking smile and a touch of evil. He managed to capture it with the help of members of other clans, the Jiang clan and the Lan clan. Although most likely he would have died in the process if it weren't for his best friend Song Lan.

-Song Lan... -He couldn't help but whisper the name of his best friend at the presence of it in his thoughts. He sighed as he felt his chest shrink until he was in pain.

At once, he heard a loud and mocking laugh from his companion. He had always considered himself a straight person with nerves of gold, but he couldn't help frowning at the reaction of the boy next to him.

- So it's true - Xue Yang turned his face completely to look at the one with the white ribbon. - Honestly, I thought it was an excuse to be alone with me.

Xue Yang unconsciously winked her eye, since she knew that Xingchen would not be able to see him. However, Xingchen did notice the minor's slight flirting attempt. He decided to stay upright in the face of the situation and quickened his pace, remembering the fact that his best friend had disappeared and his recent partner was a murderer without any empathy for others.

Flashback

Jin Guangshan was interrupted by one of his servants while he was sharing spit with one prostitute and shoved his hand under the skirt of another. The servant felt sorry when he made eye contact with his clan leader, but he must have informed him of something very important.

- Recently there have been some events in the city of Tanzhou that has the population worried. It turns out that there lives a very beautiful woman who asks the young cultivators to come to her palace to recite poetry to her. It is said that cultivators are invited by letter, but once they enter the palace, they do not leave again. - The servant's blood ran cold just from reciting these words.

Jin Guangshan looked at his prostitutes for a second, they were just as scared as the servant. He let out a loud sigh before speaking. - I understand. What do you want me to do?

The servant was checked and did not know what to reply to his master. He really didn't know what kind of response he expected from him.

- Master, I understand that it can be a very confusing story, but it is something that is happening in the city of Tanzhou. - The servant hid his fist from him and clenched it, frustrated, seeing the disinterested face of the leader of him. - You are the leader of all clans, the greatest leader among leaders. This is something that concerns you and... - He swallowed hard when he saw Jin Guangshan's gaze -... and besides, if you solve this mystery, the peasants will go around praising you and speaking wonders of you. He will be remembered as the best leader and the Jin clan will increase in power.

Jin Guangshan's gaze changed radically and a mischievous smile appeared on his face. The servant finally sighed softly when he saw that he was not going to be beheaded live and direct.
