"That's settled. You go ahead and invite him, and say I wish to meet him!" Su Yuqing gently patted Hai Tang's hand. Hai Tang looked at her with a touch of pleading: "Master, you cannot mention this to him." If Junior Brother Lu really agrees, that would be fine, but if he doesn't agree, she would lose face before him in the future. Su Yuqing understood her concerns and smiled slightly: "I won't mention it. However, what I told you just now, you can't tell him either. Just pretend you don't know." "Can't tell him anything at all? What about Junior Brother Lu's senior sister..." "I have arrangements for this matter, and it won't be difficult for you." With a hint of doubt, Hai Tang descended from Immortal Spirit Peak and found Lu Ye waiting in the valley. "How did it go?" Lu Ye asked anxiously. Although he previously deduced that Nian Yuexian was most likely trapped in Mount Fangcun, he wasn't completely confident. If Nian Yuexian wasn't here, it would be troublesome. In this vast stellar space, he wouldn't know where to find her afterwards. Hai Tang lowered her head, her gaze slightly evasive, and didn't directly answer Lu Ye's question, only saying, "Master asked me to take you to see her." She had to obey her master's orders and couldn't directly inform Lu Ye about his senior sister's situation, so she felt a bit guilty towards Lu Ye. Lu Ye nodded: "Of course." He had considered whether to pay a visit to the master here, but they were Sun Blaze, and he was just a Constellation. Visiting without being invited would be somewhat presumptuous; now that he was summoned, there was no issue. As Hai Tang flew towards Immortal Spirit Peak, Lu Ye, preoccupied with thoughts of Nian Yuexian, didn't notice Hai Tang's slight odd behavior. As Hai Tang left the Spirit Mountaintop Great Hall, Su Yuqing flicked two spirit lights out in different directions with a finger. In no time, the space before her twisted, and two illusory figures suddenly appeared. The one on the left had a celestial aura, spirited and vigorous, appearing like an elderly man in his sixties. If a Constellation from this home world was present, they would recognize this person as Chen Xuanhai, one of the three pillars of Cloud Sea Peak. The one on the right was a young man with a striking appearance, handsome and elegant, unmistakably Woo Qimo from Misty Peak. Neither of them was physically present; they appeared only as manifestations of their Mental Consciousness. "What is it?" As soon as he appeared, Chen Xuanhai asked. The three Sun Blaze from Mount Fangcun would only gather if something significant was happening, as Su Yuqing could easily communicate through audio transmission in Boundless World instead of inviting them directly. It had to be something big, prompting the three Sun Blaze to convene, since this made discussing matters easier. Su Yuqing didn't mention Lu Ye's situation, but looked at Chen Xuanhai: "I want the outsider woman you captured before March." "No problem," Chen Xuanhai agreed immediately, slightly puzzled: "But why do you need this person?" Su Yuqing chuckled: "It's coincidental that today, my disciple Hai Tang returned with a human male, and you two surely already know." Chen Xuanhai nodded, while Woo Qimo became intrigued: "Wasn't your disciple said to have fallen into the Ghost Ship? Did you misjudge earlier?" They all knew about Hai Tang's disappearance and Su Yuqing's search, especially Su Yuqing deducing the dire situation of Hai Tang falling into the Ghost Ship. Yet unexpectedly, after several months, Hai Tang had returned unharmed, accompanied by a human male. Su Yuqing replied: "My judgment was correct; she indeed fell into the Ghost Ship." Chen Xuanhai raised his eyebrow: "She managed to escape?" He was aware of Hai Tang's capabilities, as well as the Ghost Ship's oddities, so he found it puzzling how Hai Tang could escape with her abilities. Woo Qimo was equally astonished: "Impressive indeed. I wonder what good fortune she brought back from the ship?" Su Yuqing shook her head and sighed: "My disciple is talented but not capable of such feats. She escaped entirely thanks to a benefactor's help!" With a thought, she conveyed all the information she gathered to these two. After a short while, Chen Xuanhai and Woo Qimo understood the events leading up to this. Chen Xuanhai realized: "I see. No wonder she brought back a human male, owing such a monumental favor." Woo Qimo also said, "This young man is quite a character. To actually be willing to give up the Dayan Spirit Pearl—if it were me in my younger days, I definitely wouldn't have made such a choice." Even though his cultivation far surpassed Lu Ye, at this moment he couldn't help but admire Lu Ye. Such a person who is grateful and pays back kindness is always worthy of others' admiration. "The key is that this young man is perceptive, finding a glimpse of possibility and even succeeding," Chen Xuanhai also praised without reservation. In that environment where treasures abound, who would care about others' life and death? Naturally, snatching a piece of treasure is the priority, yet Lu Ye was able to think of taking Hai Tang away. He sighed and said, "Indeed, the human race boasts many heroes; as long as this child survives, his future is limitless, but alas, he is not of the Dwarf Race." Woo Qimo said, "Could this young man have anything to do with the lady who entered this domain three months ago? Otherwise, why would Su Yuqing suddenly ask Chen Xuanhai for that lady?" Su Yuqing said, "These two have a master-disciple relationship. After the young man took Hai Tang from the Ghost Ship, he heard of his master's disappearance. After some searching, unexpectedly, Hai Tang found the way back, and he also inferred that his master might have entered Mount Fangcun." "That's quite a coincidence," Woo Qimo laughed heartily. "Given such a relationship, it wouldn't be appropriate to make them serve here. Let Brother Chen release them afterward; our Mount Fangcun is no Dragon Pond or tiger's den, there is no reason to treat guests ." Chen Xuanhai nodded, "I'll handle this matter."

Listening for novelty is fine, but it's not enough to gather the three Sun Blaze beings of Mount Fangcun. Su Yuqing said, "Naturally, it's not just these. I called you both for the Black Abyss Martial Arts Meet; in three months, it's time for the Black Abyss Martial Arts Meet. Do you have any strategies?" When she said this, Woo Qimo felt a toothache and shrugged, "No strategies!" Chen Xuanhai also sighed, "Every Martial Arts Meet, we end up last. For hundreds of years, the best result was only second place, leading to our domain's cultivation environment worsening, and the younger disciples becoming more incompetent. If this vicious cycle continues, the future of our domain is indeed worrisome." Woo Qimo cursed, "It's because those brats aren't up to it; they let others show off every time! We've provided so many good things over the years, yet haven't seen them hold their heads high." Saying this, Woo Qimo suddenly frowned, "Fellow Daoist Su, is your disciple Hai Tang the main force this time at the Martial Arts Meet? I observed her unstable aura; could she have been seriously injured on the Ghost Ship?" The reason Mount Fangcun halted to find Hai Tang's whereabouts wasn't just because Hai Tang had a good master, but also due to the Black Abyss Martial Arts Meet, where Hai Tang was to play a significant role. Without this reason, a domain would never stop for one person alone—Mount Fangcun is, after all, a domain, not a spirit ark that can stop at will. Now Hai Tang's condition is unsettling, making the already worrying future of this domain even worse. Su Yuqing nodded, "My disciple was trapped on the Ghost Ship for several months; her foundation is damaged, but in three months, she should recover adequately." While holding Hai Tang's hand earlier, she also took the opportunity to examine Hai Tang's condition. After hearing this, Chen Xuanhai and Woo Qimo were slightly relieved. Su Yuqing said, "However, even if Hai Tang completely recovers, the Martial Arts Meet will not be optimistic. Haven't they involved Constellation Mid-Stage participants every time? Not to speak of Constellation Mid-Stage, there have even been instances of Late Stage participation, yet we still rarely see Mid-Stage on our side." Woo Qimo said, "What can we do? Only three months remain; even if the three of us exert ourselves, it's impossible to elevate the cultivation of all participating disciples. Ultimately, we'll end up last." Chen Xuanhai looked thoughtfully at Su Yuqing, "Fellow Daoist Su, if you have a brilliant strategy, feel free to share it." They had discussed many strategies regarding the Martial Arts Meet; there was no reason for Su Yuqing to suddenly bring them over to discuss it again, indicating some changes. Su Yuqing smiled slightly, "It's simple, recruit external aid!" Relying on domain cultivators was hopeless, so look to outsiders. Originally, Su Yuqing hadn't considered this, but upon learning Lu Ye's true identity, she had some thoughts. Of course, the premise is that this Lu Ye is indeed the Lu Yiye she knows! Chen Xuanhai and Woo Qimo were struck, realizing Su Yuqing's plan: "Are you talking about that young man named Lu Ye?" "Exactly, what say you both?" Woo Qimo pondered, "This young man managed to escape from the Ghost Ship; just this feat alone surpasses ninety-nine percent of Constellation participants of this world. He's indeed a decent choice. What is this young man's cultivation?" "Constellation Early Stage." "His cultivation is somewhat lacking," Woo Qimo commented. To participate in the Martial Arts Meet, having Constellation Mid-Stage would be ideal, ensuring at least some chance of victory; even just Constellation Early Stage wouldn't offer much advantage, as Mount Fangcun already had backup candidates. Of course, Constellation Late Stage cannot be chosen as external aid; this is an unspoken rule among the three branches of the Dwarf Race. Otherwise, if everyone went looking for Constellation Late Stage external aid, what role would the Dwarf Race play in the Meet? So even if external aid is imperative, at most, it involves Constellation Mid-Stage; this scenario has occurred before. "Why choose him?" Chen Xuanhai wanted to understand the reason. Sun Blaze figures like them act with purpose. Su Yuqing must have her reason for choosing him. Su Yuqing smiled slightly and said, "More than half a year ago, wasn't our domain near the Boundless World? I took the opportunity to visit the Water Fairy for a chat, and during our talk, I learned an intriguing story from her." They were aware of Su Yuqing's close relationship with the Water Fairy of the Boundless World. Both women were Sun Blaze figures and had frequent interactions. Su Yuqing had indeed gone out when near the Boundless World.
