Chapter 2505

They naturally did not mind, so they followed them inside.

They also ordered a table full of steamed buns. The amount was no less than Zhu Yanyi’s table, and they also ordered a basket of Hundred-Flower Buns. This showed they were likely outsiders too.

"Immortal demons from the Ice Snow City," the Silver Fox said.

Yes, besides the Hall of Thousand Changes, the Ice Snow City also had immortal demons. The Silver Fox was so sure because he recognized them.

Someone on the other side seemed to recognize the Silver Fox too. They were slightly stunned. One of them walked over. "Qian Huansheng, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here."

The Silver Fox nodded slightly. "Gong Sunzhi. It is indeed a coincidence. I didn't expect the Ice Snow City to send you this time."

Gong Sunzhi chuckled. "Originally, it wasn't supposed to be me. But Senior Sister Ji had a mission and couldn't come. So, I led a team instead." He glanced at Yan Aohan and the others. His eyes showed a hint of arrogance. Or rather, they were always arrogant. It was the nature of demons.

"Are you here to participate in the Tianyun Competition?" Gong Sunzhi asked the Silver Fox.

The Silver Fox smiled calmly. "I just joined a small sect. I’m just here to play."

"True. For small sects, it’s just playing. To be honest," Gong Sunzhi looked seriously at the Silver Fox. "Qian Huansheng, I’m not warning you or criticizing you. But if you truly want to join this Tianyun Competition, you shouldn't join a small gang. You should join our Ice Snow City directly. We enter the final competition straight away."

That was right. The five sects from the five planes entered the final competition directly. No other sects had such privileges.

The Silver Fox smiled, showing no emotion. "I think this is fine. I like my current life. Maybe small sects have little potential, but the pressure is lower. I’m here for my own happiness. I want freedom. My goals are different from yours."

Gong Sunzhi had known the Silver Fox for over ten years, but he didn't understand him deeply. He didn't realize the Silver Fox was telling him that the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect came to have fun with all sects. Even if the Silver Fox said it, Gong Sunzhi wouldn't believe it.

Gong Sunzhi’s disbelief didn’t affect Zhu Yanyi and the others. They weren’t at the bun shop to fight. They were there to eat.

Gong Sunzhi felt sorry for the Silver Fox’s lack of ambition. After ascending, the Ice Snow City had high hopes for him. But the Silver Fox was stubborn. He refused to join them. This made people think he was ungrateful.

Of course, no one said this out loud.

Gong Sunzhi felt regretful but didn’t show it. He just said to the Silver Fox, "It’s up to you. But if you have any difficulties, you can come to me anytime."

Gong Sunzhi seemed like a decent person.

Thinking about it, those who ascended to immortality had similar levels of ability, even if their talent varied slightly.

Zhu Yanyi and the others sat in the bun shop for another half hour. They were too full to eat more, so they packed the rest and left.

Walking out, Zhu Yanyi rubbed her belly. "I ate so much today. But the little one inside will help digest it."

Yan Aohan supported Zhu Yanyi as they walked slowly. "So, the one inside is a little cotton-padded jacket. She knows Mom is tired, so she helps digest the extra food."

Ten years into her pregnancy, Zhu Yanyi knew she was carrying a girl. But since birth was far away, she didn’t tell everyone. Only Yan Aohan knew. Now, with birth near, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan no longer hid it.

The Silver Fox said, "Your little princess is truly a princess. When she is born, she will be spoiled rotten."

Zhu Yanyi said, "Isn’t every child spoiled rotten?"

"Not necessarily. If every family spoiled their children, how would the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect take in so many orphans?" Ouyang Tianyun said.

The Silver Fox asked, "Are all disciples of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect orphans?"

Although there were ordinary residents in the Immortal Realm, even orphans could cultivate slightly. Immortals cherished their children. But somehow, there were still orphans in the Immortal Realm.

No one knew how these orphans came to be. Maybe their parents died in wars or disasters. But there were so many orphans, which was unexpected.

The Immortal Realm was huge. People didn’t expect so many orphans. But who knew the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect would appear.

Since new sects couldn’t recruit disciples, they chose to train orphans. That’s why the Silver Fox was curious.

Ouyang Tianyun nodded. "Eighty to ninety percent are orphans. And when they joined, their talent wasn’t good. The worst was near zero."

"Were Cui Wan and the others orphans too?" The Silver Fox was curious. He knew some things about the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect from Ouyang Tianyun, but not about the disciples.

Ouyang Tianyun nodded. "Yes, all of them."

"With such good talent, didn’t other sects notice?" The Silver Fox knew many sects looked for orphans. Training orphans made them loyal. If an orphan had good talent, they would be taken.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "Qian Huansheng, did you forget? I am a doctor."

"What does that have to do with doctors?" The Silver Fox was smart, but he didn’t get it right away.

"Doctors can treat illnesses. They treat the sick and strengthen the healthy," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

The Silver Fox was stunned first, then his eyes lit up. "You mean Cui Wan and the others’ talent was created by you?"

Zhu Yanyi nodded and shrugged. "Is that so surprising?"

The Silver Fox looked shocked. "You really did it?"

Zhu Yanyi nodded again. "Don’t be so surprised. It’s just a small thing. Why make it seem so big?"
