Chapter 1731: 1731: Wear a Mask
This really is a good opportunity to make money.
“I see most of the people in town are young,” Qian Jiyun remarked.
“That’s because the Flame Mountain Range has strict age requirements. Those over thirty can’t enter; it’s useless for older people to come here.”
The owner explained.
Otherwise, if places like the Flame Mountain Range were open to anyone, what business would these young people have here? It would be the older, more powerful cultivators who would go in.
“Moreover, a person can only enter the Flame Mountain Range once. Even if they disguise themselves and try to enter again, it’s impossible. And besides the people from Qingyun Sect, no one else knows where the Flame Mountain Range is.”
“Is it really that miraculous?”
An Jiuyue, supporting her chin with one hand, picked up a piece of rice cake and nibbled on it lightly.
“So how does one participate in the Flame Competition? Can anyone do it?”
“Of course not.”
Upon hearing this, the owner immediately shook his head.
If anyone could participate, that would turn the world upside down!
“You need a token from a major clan, or a recommendation from another Sect, or you could be from the royal family or one of the Ancient Clans. You two guests, if you have come from Gengnan, just need entry papers from Gengnan to register.”
“Oh.”
An Jiuyue nodded her head.
She wasn’t really from Gengnan; where would she get the entry papers?
However, she was quite interested in this Flame Mountain Range and wanted to participate. She wondered if it would be possible.
“Qian Jiyun, if I claim to be from the royal family of the Xiang Dynasty, do you think anyone would believe me?” After the owner left, she asked Qian Jiyun softly.
After all, wasn’t it said that someone from the royal family could compete? Would it be easier if she used the name of Xiang Qiyan?
“Do you really want to go?”
Qian Jiyun asked her with a smile.
“Mhm.”
An Jiuyue nodded.
She thought it would be nice to stir up a little trouble while the baby in her belly wasn’t yet causing her much distress.
“Then we’ll use the name of Huayan Peak.”
“Pfft!”
An Jiuyue almost spat out a mouthful of rice cake.
She looked at Qian Jiyun, surprised as if she had been startled by his words.
Using the name of Huayan Peak meant revealing his identity as an inter-plane traveler. By doing so, they could enter the Flame Mountain Range, but they would also become famous.
“Are you sure?”
“Wear a mask,” Qian Jiyun added four more words.
He had no wish to be depicted in countless portraits, passed around by the people of the Feather Abyss Plane. Wearing a mask was necessary.
“Well, that’s good then. Let’s decide on that and participate.” An Jiuyue slapped the table and said.
“When will Zhan Beiye arrive?” Qian Jiyun asked her.
“How do you know it’s him coming? What if it’s someone else?” An Jiuyue countered, Zhan Beiye wasn’t exclusively carrying out tasks for Xiang Qiyan, was he likely to come?
“When it comes to joining in the fray, Zhan Beiye is at the top of the list,” Qian Jiyun said.
Back at Huayan Peak, Zhan Beiye was famously keen on bustling affairs and never thought any trouble was too big to handle. Knowing about the event at Flame Mountain Range, how could he stay away?
And he was certain that Xiang Qiyan would’ve told Zhan Beiye about the event.
