With a pair of chopsticks, Qin Yuan picked up a piece of roast lamb covered in bits of seaweed.

He dipped it in the green chili sauce and studied it for a while from left to right before popping it into his mouth.

"Mnm..."

He started to chew it which turned out to be very soft and tender with a salty taste mixed with sweet and spicy.

'How about mixed with wine?' He wondered inwardly then looked at Jian Yixue who was standing by the table.

"Miss, my hands are full, can you help pour the wine into the cup," he asked with a wink and glanced at the wine bottle and gold cup in front of him.

The calm and cold Jian Yixue quickly became sullen at his request.

She remained still as if a heavy weight was pressing on her body.

Holding her breath, she began to grit her teeth as her gaze shifted between his face and the table.

Even so, she still didn't move.

And over time, her eyes suddenly became red.

Qin Yuan was shocked, before he could say anything, tears fell from her eyes.

"You..."

Qin Yuan didn't know what to say.

She didn't seem afraid of anything, not even him, but suddenly burst into tears.

"Are you just trying to embarrass me?" she asked in a sobbing voice.

"..."

"Wait, Young Lady, please stop..."

Qin Yuan didn't want to be seen as a female bully, he wanted to calm her down but wasn't sure how.

After a while of looking around, he finally grabbed her hand.

“Alright, didn't you want to cultivate beside the Supreme Spiritual Stone Source, now you can do it,' he said.

He then stuffed her body into his Space Artifact and moved the Supreme Spiritual Stone Source inside there.

Phew...

He sighed.

Now he couldn't help but wonder about her past.

He then peeked into the space.

Inside, she stood wiping her tears, still sobbing.

Qin Yuan did not think she was faking it when he saw that because she would be too extraordinary if she could fake it under his gaze.

After calming down enough, she looked up as if staring at him.

Her expression quickly turned cold.

She took a deep breath before walking towards the white stone that was floating a few meters in front of her.

"Ayy..."

Qin Yuan shook his head and then looked up at the stairs.

A handsome young man in a black robe climbed the stairs.

His hair is short and slightly curly.

He had red eyes that looked like blazing fire, enough to make anyone respect him.

Qin Yuan put a hand on his chin.

He studied his as he arrived in front of him and said, "Interesting, are you Yan Zhaoge's son?"

The youth nodded and cupped his fists while slightly bowing. He replied, “My name is Yan Di, the first son or the second cield of the Thousand-Flame Great Emperor.”

"Your mother should be that Red Dragon right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, so what's your purpose in meeting me?"

"Actually it wasn't me..."

Yan Di glanced at the ring on his finger, he didn't say anything else.

Qin Yuan who understood what he meant then sent a Spiritual Body into the ring.

Inside was just an empty space with a table and two chairs in the middle.

A young man who was also wearing a black robe sat on one of the chairs.

He was very similar to Yan Di.

But while Yan Di gave off the feeling of a divine being, this youth didn't have any flashy aura at all, he looked very ordinary.

Even Qin Yuan felt he was just a mere mortal.

Of course, that was only if he used a casual gaze.

When he used the Heavenly Eyes, even his heart couldn't help but tremble.

He had never felt fear since arriving in this world, everyone he had met up until now made him feel superior.

This youth, on the other hand, gave off a feeling as if he was a hell that could burn the world.

A friendly smile appeared on his face as he looked at Qin Yuan.

"Brother Qin, long time no see, I didn't think we would meet each other again," he said.

Qin Yuan unhesitatingly sat in front of him.

"I don't know what shocking news you were going to tell me so you came in stealth."

"Do you want me to say it right away?"

"No need to mince words..."

"Alright, it's about the Seven-Paths Great Emperor, he's targeting you..."

"He?"

Qin Yuan knitted his brows.

"You seem to have noticed."

"The Holy Sword Emperor told me that he was the one who told him that I was about to run out of life."

"Oh... He went that far."

"Do you know why he targeted me?"

Inwardly, Qin Yuan wondered if it was because he was a reincarnator.

Yan Zhaoge shook his head. "My investigation concluded that he had an unknown plan... I think there must be something about you that made him target you."

When he said that, he looked at Qin Yuan suspiciously.

Qin Yuan pretended as if he didn't know either, he then asked, "Is there anyone else he's targeting besides me?"

"Yeah, he also targeted the Goddess of Ice."
