The Game with Fairies

In the private room of the tavern, Li Muyang nearly had a heart attack when he heard Li Yuechan’s voice.

After finishing the miscellaneous work of the Hall of Enforcement, he would come to the tavern next to the city lord’s mansion to rest alone, drink a couple of small drinks, and enjoy himself.

In this world, there was no such thing as “happy water (TLN: Cola?)” for neet, but there were drinks of varying strengths and flavors.

Low-alcohol drinks served as this world’s beverage.

Li Muyang often visited this tavern, nestled alone in a private room, sipping on a little drink, nibbling on some snacks, and then lying on a couch to space out for a while.

This was his rare moment of peace after a day of tiresome and troublesome work. But Li Muyang never expected that the maid serving dishes today would approach him with such an explosive statement.

Moreover, her voice was identical to that of his little sister Li Yuechan!

Li Muyang’s body stiffened subconsciously, and then he scanned his surroundings.

The private room was secluded and quiet, with only one window facing the pond outside.

After carefully listening and confirming that there was no breathing outside the quiet room, Li Muyang lowered his voice in surprise and asked, “…How did you get here?”

He knew his sister had some strange and mystical abilities, which she had shown before.

But he didn’t expect her to be so bold and daring to sneak into Tianjiao City alone…

The maid winked at him and whispered with a giggle, “How about that? Brother, isn’t it a pleasant surprise?”

Li Muyang rolled his eyes, “More like a fright.”

Li Muyang got up, closed the window, and locked the door before returning to his original seat.

The maid squatted obediently beside him, appearing to be serving Li Muyang dishes without any inappropriate behavior.

But with a smile in her eyes, she spoke in a very low voice, “Brother, you’ve made quite a name for yourself in the Blood Lotus Sect. The whole city is buzzing with your fame in just two months.”

“Now everyone is saying that you’re going to marry that mysterious young lady Shen Yan of the Blood Lotus Sect!”

“How is Sister Shen Yan? Is she beautiful?”

Li Yuechan’s eyes were full of gossipy curiosity.@@novelbin@@

Li Muyang, however, frowned and shook his head, “It’s all nonsense rumors. My relationship with Shen Yan is just average. We can’t even be considered close friends.” ℟åＮ𝔬𝔟ƐṤ

“What brings you to Tianjiao City? Besides you, who else has come?”

Li Muyang knew that the Demonic Sect wouldn’t just take a loss lying down and would definitely have a backup plan after the negotiations.

Indeed, the Demonic Sect had sent disciples to infiltrate Tianjiao City, clearly planning some action.

But what Li Muyang didn’t expect was that little sister Li Yuechan would be among them.

“Who allowed you to come on such a dangerous mission?” Li Muyang’s brow furrowed.

Shouldn’t Yan Xiaoru have stopped her?

But the little sister said with a giggle, “Elder Yan… I pestered Elder Yan for a long time before she agreed to let me participate in this mission.”

Li Yuechan’s words made the already calm Li Muyang’s eyelids twitch.

“Elder Yan…?!”

Li Muyang looked around expressionlessly, “Elder Yan has also come to Tianjiao City?”

Yan Xiaoru was only at the Divine Travel Realm. What was she doing in Tianjiao City?

Li Muyang asked with a frown, “Besides Elder Yan, which other Purple Mansion elder has come?”

The Demonic Sect sent two elders at once? Such a large investment?

Aren’t they afraid of a total loss?

The maid’s eyes curved into crescents as she cheerfully said to Li Muyang, “Elder Yan is a Purple Mansion elder… Just a few days after you went undercover, Elder Yan suddenly felt the opportunity for a breakthrough and after two months of seclusion, she successfully advanced.”

“Now Elder Yan is a powerful being of the Purple Mansion. Our mission this time is led by Elder Yan. Almost half of the elite forces of the Hall of Enforcement have come.”

“Elder Yan said that with the elite forces of the Hall of Enforcement all out, we are going to uproot the Blood Lotus Sect entirely!”

Li Yuechan spoke with full confidence.

Li Muyang, however, felt a headache coming on.

“Elder Yan has broken through to the Purple Mansion realm…”

“The elite forces of the Hall of Enforcement have all emerged…”

So much has happened in just two months since I’ve been away?

Yan Xiaoru has been stuck at the pinnacle of the Divine Travel Realm for two years, unable to make any progress.

Now that she has ascended to the Purple Mansion, Li Muyang is actually happy for her.

But she personally led this operation, even risking her own life. This woman…

Li Muyang sighed and asked, “What about the others? Are they also in this tavern?”

“When do you plan to make your move? Why didn’t you contact me beforehand?”

Li Muyang had calculated many possibilities, but he hadn’t anticipated that Yan Xiaoru would break through to the Purple Mansion realm.

Logically, after he infiltrated as a spy and leaked information, the Demonic Sect would send a Purple Mansion powerhouse to take the risk, but it was unlikely they would choose Yan Xiaoru.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaoru made a breakthrough right before the battle and took on the mission herself.

This was beyond Li Muyang’s expectations.

He saw his little sister shake her head and say, “Only I am a disciple of the Demonic Sect in this tavern. The others are ordinary people.”

“The Blood Lotus Sect seems to have relaxed its vigilance on the surface, but in reality, they are on high alert. It’s extremely difficult for us to sneak in with altered appearances, so we had to enter separately using different false identities.”

“Now Elder Yan is stationed outside the city, and other disciples of the Hall of Enforcement are scattered throughout the city. We use special methods to make contact and coordinate.”

“Elder Yan sent me to find you, saying that we should establish contact with you first before taking any action.”

After Li Yuechan finished speaking, she looked at her brother with a playful twinkle in her eye and said, “Oh, by the way, brother, when I was coming here, Elder Yan asked me to pass on a message to you.”

Li Muyang was curious, “What message?”

Yan Xiaoru wouldn’t reveal her special relationship with Li Muyang in public, would she?

So he didn’t expect any kind words.

But he saw the maid-disguised Li Yuechan flash a mischievous smile and say, “Elder Yan said–Li Muyang, congratulations on your marriage! If I get a chance, I will definitely come into the city to attend your wedding feast.”

Li Muyang’s face darkened instantly, and he rolled his eyes.

“Nonsense.”

He looked at his little sister, who was grinning mischievously, with disbelief, “How could Elder Yan say such a thing.”

But Li Yuechan nodded with a grin, “Alright, I guess I can’t fool my brother.”

“Elder Yan actually said to be careful of the Blood Lotus Sect’s leader. That Fang Yingtian is very cunning.”

That sounded more like something Yan Xiaoru would say.

Li Muyang nodded in understanding, “I’m aware of that, I’ll be careful.”

Although the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect appeared to be a kind and honest elder, Li Muyang never let down his guard.

This guy had played the Purple Mansion powerhouses in the chat group for fools, nearly killing Dangerous Star I and Well Wood Prison.

His honesty and integrity were probably just a facade.

Even the favoritism he showed towards Shen Yan, Li Muyang suspected, was part of some tricky scheme.
