Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1741: Wanting to Turn the Tables with the Flame Mountain Range

“It can’t possibly be Xiang Qifeng, right?”

“Pfft!”

Zhan Beiye had just taken a sip of tea, which he ended up spraying out completely.

After a few light coughs, he finally caught his breath and turned to stare blankly at An Jiuyue.

“How did you guess?”

He couldn’t understand it. How did An Jiuyue know about something he had only just heard of? Was it a guess? But how could a guess be so accurate?

“Is it really him?”

An Jiuyue was surprised. How could it be Xiang Qifeng? If he had come out, wouldn’t Xiang Qiyan have received some message?

“It’s not to say that it’s him, just one of Xiang Qifeng’s subordinates,” Zhan Beiye shook his head and said.

“I suppose Xiang Qifeng wants his subordinate to secure a spot so that he himself can enter the Flame Mountain Range. This kid has quite the ambition!”

“How did you know?”

Qian Jiyun asked him. Zhan Beiye’s arrival had indeed been fruitful; he seemed capable of digging up information about anything.

This matter should have been kept secret by Xiang Qifeng, even from his most trusted confidants. Yet, Zhan Beiye found out about it.

“I just happened to have seen that person,” Zhan Beiye replied with a smirk. It was indeed a stroke of luck. After following Xiang Qiyan back, he often wandered about the city when he had nothing else to do, and he actually did catch sight of that figure by Xiang Qifeng’s side.

During the previous contest in the Flame Mountain Range, he had been too busy competing and hadn’t encountered this person. But he had just run into them in the town, and seeing them surrounded by people, he remembered, “This is one of Xiang Qifeng’s subordinates.”

“What do you think, with Xiang Qifeng’s camp already in such disarray, why would he still consider entering the Flame Mountain Range?”

He was certain that, these past days, Xiang Qifeng must have been given a headache by those he had previously antagonized, to the point of nearly having to hide in some ravine.

How could he still have the courage to send someone to Qingyun Sect, wishing to take part in the Qingyun contest?

“Could it be that he wants to turn the tables using the Flame Mountain Range?” he speculated.

“Perhaps,” An Jiuyue nodded.

How many people in Qingyun Town wished to use the Flame Mountain Range to make their fortune?

Otherwise, why would they be willing to part with so much wealth just for a chance to enter the Flame Mountain Range? Could it really boost their cultivation level that substantially?

“Since he wants to enter the Flame Mountain Range, let him. It just so happens, we haven’t seen Xiang Qifeng yet,” she said to Qian Jiyun, raising an eyebrow.

“Hmm,” Qian Jiyun responded softly.

He had planned to accompany An Jiuyue to the Flame Mountain Range for a bit of fun, but he hadn’t expected to run into Xiang Qifeng.

This must be deliberately courting death, wasn’t it?

In that case, why show any courtesy? It would suffice to find a reason to keep Xiang Qifeng from leaving the Flame Mountain Range. After all, everyone had to sign a life-and-death contract before entering it.

Once inside the Flame Mountain Range, life and death were determined by fate. If one couldn’t return, it would simply be their own destiny.

…

While Qian Jiyun and the others discussed Xiang Qifeng, at another location in Qingyun Town, Xiang Qifeng had also arrived.

However, given the awkwardness of his current position, he didn’t face people in his true form. Instead, he used a bit of the Disguise Technique to conceal his appearance.

“Are you sure Xiang Qiyan hasn’t sent anyone?”

His gaze was slightly sullen as he looked at his subordinate who had secured the spot.

Recently, because of Xiang Qiyan, he had endured a great deal of pressure from various powers within the Xiang Dynasty. He even believed that Xiang Qiyan had orchestrated it all on purpose.
