Urban God-level Youth

Nine people sat at the table, with Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun sitting together.

Gu Zhan raised his glass and said loudly, "Today, I invited everyone here not for any other reason, just for us to get to know each other and become friends. In the future, if there is anything, we can look out for one another. Let's all drink this glass together."

Everyone raised their glasses and then drank the Spiritual Wine in one gulp.

Then the nine people talked and drank, as the drinks went round three times and the dishes of five flavors, several people's cheeks became a bit flushed. This top-grade Spiritual Wine is not ordinary wine; even cultivators like them will get drunk if they drink too much.

After everyone had almost had their fill of drinks, they began chatting, and Gu Zhan was very hospitable, taking good care of everyone.

Ning Huang from the North Continent also found time to come next to Qin Hao. Smiling, he said to Qin Hao, "Qin, come, let's have a drink."

"Mr. Ning, you're too kind. Come on, let's down it." Qin Hao picked up his glass and drank it down.

Ning Huang looked at Qin Hao and said with a smile, "The last battle with you, Qin, was quite exhilarating. I hope there will be another opportunity to spar with you. Your physical strength is the strongest I've ever seen. It feels right only when fighting you."

Qin Hao replied, "Sure, if there is an opportunity, I would definitely spar with you again."

Ning Huang glanced at Wei Xianyun beside him and said with a smile, "You have a good Daolu, Qin. I wonder when I'll find a Dao companion like Princess Xianyun."

"Ning Xiong, you're extremely talented. It should be easy for you to find a Dao companion, right?"

Ning Huang laughed heartily, "You're kidding, Qin. Finding a Dao companion should be someone agreeable and desirable, not those people who simply follow the crowd."

After chatting for a while, the two got up and walked to the railing on the rooftop, with the entire Ancient God City in full view below.

The Ancient God City was brightly lit, stretching for thousands of miles, illustrating the city's vastness. They stood by the railing, admiring the night view of the city.

Meng Ruyan walked over, her voice pleasant and melodic, "Appreciating the night sky from here has a unique charm."

Qin Hao commented, "This place is indeed nice. Standing atop the Guiyuan Building makes you feel closer to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."

Meng Ruyan smiled slightly, charming and graceful, "If Mr. Qin had been to the Star Picking Pavilion, perhaps you wouldn't say that."

"Star Picking Pavilion? What's that place?" Qin Hao asked curiously.

Meng Ruyan smiled sweetly, strikingly beautiful, "Star Picking Pavilion is a building within our Ancient God Academy. There it is." After speaking, Meng Ruyan pointed in the direction of the Star Picking Pavilion for Qin Hao.

Following her direction, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun indeed saw the Star Picking Tower of the Ancient God Academy in the distance. It was a magnificent building, towering into the sky, seemingly merging with the night sky, much taller than the Guiyuan Building.

The banquet ended past nine in the evening, with everyone leaving the Guiyuan Building one by one.

Outside the Guiyuan Building, Meng Ruyan suddenly said to Qin Hao, "I wonder if Mr. Qin could spare a moment to chat with me alone?"

Her words startled a few people present. What did Meng Ruyan mean by this? What did she want to talk about with Qin Hao?

Qin Hao was also slightly taken aback, "Miss Meng, do you have something for me?"

Meng Ruyan nodded slightly, "I won't take up too much of your time, Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao glanced at Wei Xianyun, and after seeing her gently nod, he agreed, "Alright, please, Miss Meng."

Gu Zhan and a few others looked at Meng Ruyan in confusion before leaving the area.

Qin Hao and Meng Ruyan walked for a while, then Meng Ruyan said, "Mr. Qin, you must be curious why I wish to speak with you alone?"

Qin Hao nodded, "Miss Meng, we are not acquainted before. What business do you have with me?"

Meng Ruyan hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard there is a small Ancient Witch Clan tribe at your Heaven and Earth Academy's estate?"

Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat, "Yes, is there something about that, Miss Meng?"

He had already become cautious. Was this Meng Ruyan also eyeing the Ancient Witch Clan?

Meng Ruyan noticed his cautious look and quickly smiled, "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Qin. I have no intention towards them."

"Then what do you mean, Miss Meng?" Qin Hao asked in a calm tone.

Meng Ruyan gazed at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "Mr. Qin, I am actually a descendant of the Ancient Witch Clan."

...

Hearing this, Qin Hao's eyes clearly showed surprise, "Miss Meng, are you joking? You're a descendant of the Ancient Witch Clan? Are you insulting my intelligence?"

Meng Ruyan explained, "Whether it's true or not, Mr. Qin, if you take me to your Heaven and Earth Academy's estate, you will find out. I can't transform here."

Qin Hao looked at her suspiciously, hesitating for a moment, "Do you want to go to the Heaven and Earth Academy's estate with me now?"

"Yes, let's go now. If we go at another time, it might draw others' attention," Meng Ruyan said to him.

Then she added, "This matter is my secret. Except for a few people, including my master, no one knows my identity. I hope Mr. Qin can keep it confidential."

"If what you say is true, I will naturally keep it confidential for you."

Soon, the two returned. Wei Xianyun was waiting there. Seeing Meng Ruyan return with Qin Hao, Wei Xianyun felt a trace of curiosity flash in her heart.

Qin Hao said to Wei Xianyun, "Miss Meng is coming with us to the estate for something."

Wei Xianyun nodded slightly, not asking further questions.

Soon, they arrived at the Heaven and Earth Academy's estate, and Qin Hao led her to the small cluster of palaces where Shuiyang and Tian Hui lived.

Wei Xianyun followed along. Qin Hao did not stop her, and Meng Ruyan did not say anything.

Once they arrived at the palaces, Shuiyang and Tian Hui quickly came over. At this time, they looked very different from before, and their physiques were approximately the same as humans, all due to the Cultivation Technique.

"Oh, Chief Shuiyang, why have you gotten smaller?" Qin Hao was a bit surprised when he saw Shuiyang and Tian Hui.

Shuiyang smiled broadly, "It's all thanks to the young master's Cultivation Method."

Meng Ruyan looked at Shuiyang and Tian Hui and asked, "Mr. Qin, are they people from the Ancient Witch Clan tribe?"

Qin Hao nodded, "Chief Shuiyang, let me introduce Miss Meng Ruyan from the Ancient God Academy. She says she is also a descendant of the Ancient Witch Clan."

Wei Xianyun, Shuiyang, and the others were shocked upon hearing Qin Hao's words. She is a descendant of the Ancient Witch Clan?

Meng Ruyan explained, "When I was little, I encountered my master, who saved me and then taught me a Cultivation Method. The Ancient God Academy has many Ancient Witch Clan Cultivation Techniques, one of which was especially suitable for me. My master and others treated me very well and did not discriminate against me for being from the Witch Clan. Today I am here to inquire if you know which tribe I belong to and whether my parents are still alive."

Shuiyang listened to her words and then said, "Reach out your hand, let me see."

Meng Ruyan reached out her hand. Shuiyang grasped her hand as if feeling her pulse or examining her bones. After over ten seconds, Shuiyang looked at her and said, "You are indeed a descendant of the Ancient Witch Clan, but you are a descendant of the Gonggong Tribe."
