After leaving Fairy Chu’s Celestial Pavilion, the pair of male and female attendants led Song Shuhang and the others to a lawn adjacent to the river.

In that place, the kind-hearted disciples of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion had already prepared a banquet to welcome Song Shuhang, Chu Chu, and Li Yinzhu.

Song Shuhang just happened to be starving. After all, he hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday when he fell unconscious up until now.

During the banquet, the attendants, elders, and masters of the other branches of the pavilion asked Song Shuhang and Chu Chu about the matters that had occurred in the outside world, how society had developed, and so on...

At the same time, they indirectly tried to convince Song Shuhang and Chu Chu to become their disciples. From a certain point of view, it almost seemed as though they were promoting themselves and trying to get the best disciple, even promising them all sorts of benefits.

These propositions somewhat moved the nearby Chu Chu. After all, she would become a disciple of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion as soon as she agreed—a direct line disciple at that.

Later, all the cultivation techniques and natural resources of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion would be at her disposal. Although she had already signed the contract and offered herself as a candidate for the position of ’Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue’, it had nothing to do with becoming a disciple of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion; the two weren’t mutually exclusive.

❄️❄️❄️

After the banquet, the pair of male and female attendants led Song Shuhang and the others toward the palace reserved for the guests to rest.

"Fellow Daoist Song, Fellow Daoist Chu Chu, you have now a better understanding of our Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion. Have you decided whether or not you want to join the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion as disciples?" The pair of male and female attendants didn’t forget to ask this question along the way.

Chu Chu faintly nodded; her interest had been piqued. However, she still wanted to think about it properly.

Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity, "Can I ask you two a question? Why do you want us to become disciples of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion?"

After all, the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was also a powerful sect of cultivators. Were they really in such a hurry to recruit disciples?

The pair of male and female attendants looked at each and smiled, saying, "Because it has been a long, long time since a new disciple joined our pavilion."

Song Shuhang faintly nodded. However, this reason wasn’t enough to convince him.

From the looks of it, the pair wasn’t planning to tell him the real reason.

❄️❄️❄️

After Song Shuhang and the others entered the palace reserved for the guests, the pair of attendants smiled and left.

Song Shuhang, Chu Chu, and Li Yinzhu each got a room.

Even after lying in bed for a long time, Song Shuhang was unable to fall asleep. After all, he had woken up on that arched bridge not too long ago. Therefore, he wasn’t sleepy at this time.

Moreover, he felt that there was something wrong with each and every part of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.

Only after midnight was Song Shuhang finally able to fall asleep...

❄️❄️❄️

The next day, August 1st, Thursday.

Early morning, 6:30 AM. Song Shuhang opened his eyes.

"Today’s dao name should be Baijing Street’s Traveling Sabersman..." Song Shuhang took out his mobile phone and looked at the date. As before, the phone had no signal.

"Good morning, Baijing Street’s Traveling Sabersman." Right at this time, a sleepy voice echoed in Song Shuhang’s ears.

Song Shuhang turned his head around and saw that the black-haired master of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was sitting not too far away from the bed. Her long black hair was spread all over the floor.

It seemed as if she had been sitting there for a long time.

Song Shuhang said, "Good morning, Senior Chu."

Luckily, Shuhang didn’t have the habit to sleep naked...

"Fellow Daoist Baijing Street’s Traveling Sabersman, wash your face and rinse your mouth. I’ll bring you to a good place after you are done eating breakfast!" Pavilion Master Chu said.

❄️❄️❄️

Morning, 7 AM.

Under Pavilion Master Chu’s lead, Song Shuhang and Chu Chu headed toward the depths of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion. At this time, Li Yinzhu’s disease had flared up again and she entered into a hibernation-like state. It was unknown how long she would sleep this time...

After walking for around twenty minutes, Pavilion Master Chu led Song Shuhang and the others and arrived in front of the walls of a city.

"We have arrived. This is the Time City," Pavilion Master Chu said.

The Time City was the place she had created by using the treasure ’Slow-Witted Song’ had left behind.

As the name suggested, the treasure left behind was a valuable item related to ’time’. Under Pavilion Master Chu’s control, the treasure brought into full play its wondrous effects.

The Time City was divided into two portions: the ’Upper City’ and the ’Lower City’.

In the Upper City, one day was equivalent to twelve days in the outside world. The flow of time was accelerated.

On the other hand, it was the exact opposite inside the ’Lower City’. Twelve days in the Lower City were equivalent to one day in the outside world. The flow of time was greatly slowed down.

But whether it was the Upper City or the Lower City, a cultivator could stay in there only for 30 days the first time they entered the place.

Pavilion Master Chu was planning to bring Song Shuhang and Chu Chu to the Lower City.

Twelve days in there would be equivalent to one day in the outside world.

While others practiced for one day, the people in the ’lower portion’ of the Time City could practice for twelve days in the same amount of time.

❄️❄️❄️

In the Jiangnan area, inside Gao Moumou’s house.

"Shuhang has yet to reply. At this pace, he’s going to end up all alone and stay as a virgin forever!" Gao Moumou was lying on the chair, swinging back and forth.

However, that ’Yu Jiaojiao’ girl from yesterday was gorgeous. But where did she live precisely, and did she already have a boyfriend?

Gao Moumou was thinking of introducing her to Song Shuhang or Tubo if there was an opportunity. It would be a pretty good move, right?

Just as he was in deep thoughts, Gao Moumou’s phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.

"Who might it be? Who is calling me so early in the morning? Is it possible that it’s a scammer or one of those salesmen?" Gao Moumou straightened himself and took a sip of the tea.

Gao Moumou and Tubo loved to chatter away with scammers and salesmen. If the opposite party was a girl, their fighting capacity increased by three times.

Thereupon, Gao Moumou picked the phone up and said, "Hello~"

"Hello. May I ask if you are Mister Gao Moumou?" The pleasant-sounding voice of a girl was transmitted from the other end.

It was a girl!

Gao Moumou replied, "Yes, it’s me. Is something the matter?"

"I’m from the Blue Sea Express Delivery. I request you to come downstairs to retrieve your express delivery!" the girl said gently.

Is it a swindler?

Gao Moumou had no other choice but to wear his night clothes and go downstairs. Now then, he didn’t remember buying anything on the Internet in the past few days!

Was it possible that Yayi, Song Shuhang, or another of his roommates had sent him a gift?

After going downstairs, Gao Moumou quickly found the far-off vehicle of the ’Blue Sea Express Delivery’. It was a 7-passenger minivan.

Gao Moumou arrived next to the express delivery vehicle and knocked on the window, saying, "I’m Gao Moumou, what about the express delivery?"

In the next moment, the door of the van slid to one side, and the first thing that appeared before Gao Moumou’s eyes was a pair of white thighs.

Immediately after, a monstrous claw appeared out of nowhere and caught Gao Moumou.

"Ah?" Gao Moumou was dumbfounded.

In the next moment, he felt an incredible strength dragging him inside the minivan.

"Aaaah~" Gao Moumou called out pitifully.

Is this an abduction? Am I really being kidnapped? What was that monstrous claw that I saw earlier?

"Hello, Mister Gao Moumou. We finally meet face to face." The gentle voice from earlier belonged to the owner of the two beautiful legs.

Gao Moumou looked at the girl. She was wearing a hoodie and big flu mask. "We finally meet face to face...? Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. I’m Yu Jiaojiao," the girl kept smiling and said, "I’m precisely that fan of yours, Yu Jiaojiao."

"..." Gao Moumou.
