After returning to the You Clan, You Ran and Tan Yuxin gathered all their clan members to explain everything they had seen in the Moonlit Passion Temple.

After a long and difficult discussion, they decided to establish a cooperative relationship with the Moonlit Passion Temple, and their main reason was Zhang Fei’s relationship with Feng Yao. Additionally, he also had favorable relations with the beast and winged races, and he still had many experts in various fields in his sect, all of which would benefit their clan.

After they agreed, You Ran and Tan Yuxin asked them to prepare some things, and they intended to give them to the Moonlit Passion Temple as a token of their cooperation.

[Master, Liao Hanxue has appeared.]

Hearing that, Zhang Fei signaled Luo Yunxiao to stop their cultivation. "What happened?"

"Liao Hanxue is already in this hotel." Luo Yunxiao was momentarily taken aback before nodding to Zhang Fei. "Shall we try to meet her now?"

"Let’s go." Luo Yunxiao pulled Zhang Fei down from the bed, and the two hurriedly got dressed.

*Knock... Knock...*

"Who?"

Luo Yunxiao looked at Zhang Fei before answering Liao Hanxue. "Senior Hanxue, my name is Luo Yunxiao from the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary, and I hope to meet you first before I visit your Liao Clan tomorrow."

*Crack*

As Luo Yunxiao expected, Liao Hanxue immediately opened the door of her room as soon as she heard the name of the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary.

Liao Hanxue’s face is youthful and well-defined, with a natural charm. Her skin is smooth and fair, her nose is slim, and her lips are soft with a subtle pink tint. Her gaze is sharp but composed. A sheer, layered gown of pale silver tones trimmed with gold embraces her slim, well-proportioned figure with a noticeable chest and deep curves.

Liao Hanxue’s hair is long, straight, and a deep brown shade with a smooth, glossy texture. It is neatly styled with a decorative hairpiece featuring a silver-blue flower and fine details that match the tones of her dress.

Liao Hanxue momentarily raised an eyebrow when she saw Zhang Fei, but she immediately shifted her gaze to Luo Yunxiao before asking, "Are you really a member of the Luo Clan? Why haven’t I heard your name before?"

"I am truly a member of the Luo Clan." Luo Yunxiao immediately showed her identity to Liao Hanxue. "Not many people know about me because my parents had several powerful enemies, so they deliberately hid me from the public in the past."

Liao Hanxue took Luo Yunxiao’s jade, and she observed it for a while before returning it to her. "I’ve met Huang Xiaoyi several times in the past, so I can confirm that your jade is indeed genuine. So, what is your purpose in looking for me?"

"My husband is looking for some formation arrays for our sects, and one of our disciples said that you are the best in that field, so we came to see you." After Luo Yunxiao spoke, Liao Hanxue cast a displeased glance at Zhang Fei. "Our sect is the Moonlit Passion Temple, but it is no longer a dual cultivation sect but a universal sect."

Liao Hanxue was momentarily taken aback. "I’ve heard about the changes in the Moonlit Passion Temple, but I didn’t expect a princess of the Luo Clan like you to choose a dual cultivator as your husband. Furthermore, he has quite a few women, as I can detect over a hundred different Yin Qis in his body."

"Haha." Luo Yunxiao laughed in response. "Unlike the people of this domain, I never care about other people’s choices, as everyone has the freedom to choose the cultivation path they desire. Oh, his name is Zhang Fei; he is my childhood friend, and we have loved each other since childhood. So, can we talk inside?"

"Come in."

After the two of them sat down on the sofa, Liao Hanxue sat across from them and observed Zhang Fei for a while. "So, what kind of formation array are you looking for?"

"Do you have a time formation array, Senior?" Zhang Fei returned the question.

"Huh?" Liao Hanxue furrowed her brows. "Who told you that I have a time formation array?"

[Master, the time flow in this room is two times faster than outside.]

’So, she really has it, huh?’ Zhang Fei then answered Liao Hanxue directly. "Senior, no one told me that, and I asked you because I was looking for one."

Liao Hanxue sighed inwardly because she misinterpreted Zhang Fei’s question. "I do have one, and it will speed up the time flow inside by twofold. However, its range is small, about the size of this room. Unfortunately, I can’t sell it to you because I only have one, and I need it to create new formation arrays."

"Can you tell me the materials and how to create it, senior?"

"No." Liao Hanxue immediately rejected Zhang Fei. "This time formation is my secret, so I won’t tell you. Moreover, the materials are difficult to obtain, and you need the help of someone who possesses the time element. So far, I have only ever met someone who possesses that element, and he was the one who helped me to create my time formation array."

"Zhuxian Sheng, right?"

"Huh?" Liao Hanxue was surprised to hear that name from Zhang Fei. "Do you know Zhuxian Sheng?"

"You should bring Zhuxian Sheng here, husband." Liao Hanxue looked at Luo Yunxiao in confusion. "Senior, we met him in the Endless Night Dungeon a few months ago, and he has been living in our sect ever since."

"Did you set up a space restriction formation in this room, senior?"

Liao Hanxue nodded to Zhang Fei. "Naturally, I don’t want other people to appear in my private room out of nowhere and disturb me, so I deliberately set up such a formation to prevent that from happening. Does that mean you have the space or void element?"

"I wish I had one of those elements, but unfortunately, I don’t. However, I have an acquaintance with one, so I’ll ask her to send Zhuxian Sheng here." Zhang Fei could have used one of his two spaces, but he would rather not show one of them to Liao Hanxue. "Can you deactivate the formation for a moment?"

"Alright." Liao Hanxue immediately walked to one side and deactivated it. "Done! You can ask your friends to send Zhuxian Sheng over now."

Zhang Fei immediately contacted Bing Xingying, asking her to pick up Zhuxian Sheng at the sect and bring him to them.

A few minutes later, a void crack appeared in the room, startling Liao Hanxue. However, it closed again as soon as Zhuxian Sheng walked out. "Hmm? Hanxue? I didn’t know that you knew Zhang Fei."

"Hey! I should be the one saying that!" Liao Hanxue then asked Zhuxian Sheng. "Since when did an introvert like you decide to join a sect?"

"I didn’t join his sect." Zhuxian Sheng sat down immediately. "Empress Huo gave me something valuable, and she asked me to train Zhang Fei in exchange."

"Empress Huo?" After a moment of shock, Liao Hanxue hurriedly sat beside Zhuxian Sheng. "Did you really meet Empress Huo? Why did she ask you to train Zhang Fei?"

"I met Empress Huo in the Endless Night Dungeon." Zhuxian Sheng then pointed to Zhang Fei. "I didn’t know she was Empress Huo at first, and I learned her true identity from him. They were both old friends, and she felt he was too weak for this realm, so she asked me to train him. However, he was stronger than she told me, and I was never able to defeat him in our sparring matches."

"Her current name is Feng Yao, and I’ve known her since I was in the lower realm of the Three Mortal Realms." Zhang Fei immediately explained this when Liao Hanxue turned her gaze toward him. "She taught me many things, and she also told me about this realm."

Liao Hanxue was truly shocked to hear that. "Tch! You’re truly lucky to know Empress Huo, and no one will dare to bully you with her by your side."

"Haha." Zhuxian Sheng laughed at Liao Hanxue’s words. "Hanxue, you don’t know anything about Zhang Fei yet, and he is more terrifying than you imagine; even Jian Kuang and Su Shentian recognize his abilities."

"Tell me everything."

Zhuxian Sheng declined with a slight shake of his head. "I know you won’t believe me, so I won’t waste my time. Instead, you should visit the current Moonlit Passion Temple because the sect has entirely changed now, and you will see everything for yourself there."

"Alright, I’ll visit the sect in a few days," Liao Hanxue then spoke to Zhang Fei. "Since you know this man here, I’ll tell you the materials and method for creating the time formation array, and he’ll help you activate it. However, you must prepare at least ten million golden jewels to purchase those materials, especially since the required materials are of many types."

’Fuck!’ Zhang Fei inwardly cursed.

Luo Yunxiao amusedly smiled at Zhang Fei’s expression, and she immediately asked Liao Hanxue. "Do you have those materials, Senior?"
