A good-looking middle-aged man and woman sat inside the massive hall with a stream of tea brewing right in front of them on the table.


    They were the Xu n master and his wife. They stared at the two rare visitors sitting across them with a light smile on their faces.


    "When the guards reported your arrival, I was quite surprised? I didn''t expect the Ye n would open their gate this soon," the Xu n master said.


    The Ye n master''s wife and the elder had a bittersweet smile on their faces.


    It was not like they willingly opened their gate but were forced to. The tide of the city turned so fast they barely caught their breath, and if they did not salvage the right on time, they might lose more than what they''ve currently lost.


    "Haha," the city lord''s wife gave a shortugh before she adjusted her expression and said seriously.


    "With the recent battle and the rising trend of the new Spirit Comms, it will be unwise for us to close our doors."


    "That''s correct. The change took us by storm," n master Xu affirmed.


    "And that is the reason why wee to see you. We need your help?"


    "With what exactly? You didn''t have the thought that I have anything to do with the person behind it right?" He asked, staring directly into her eyes.


    "No. No." She shook her head quickly. "We need your help in convincing them to sell it to our n."


    "Are they not selling it to your n?" The Xu n master''s wife asked with slight confusion.


    What she heard was the Celestial Heavenly store was open to everyone as long as you have the money.


    They would sell it to you. Howe their case was different?


    "No, not like that. There are thousands of people right now that are queuing to buy it and if we are to wait for our turn, it will affect us in a great way."


    When the Xu husband and wife heard this, a look of realization appeared on their faces.


    n master Xu cleared his throat and said seriously. "The water of the Celestial Heavenly store is too deep for me to set my foot in. I can''t help you. With the wars and others that the store encountered in the city, I don''t think they have any good impression of your n. So, it will be good if you follow the crowd and buy it."


    At the end of his voice, the hall descended into silence.


    The city lord''s wife and the elder had an unsightly expression on their faces.


    This was theirst hope, and it was shattered before they even began.


    Will they have to follow the crowd to buy the Spirit Comms?


    Who knows when it would be their turn?


    They were thrown into a whirlpool of conflicting emotions. Their prestigious Ye n was facing an invisible terrifying threat.


    What should they do?


    Looking at the various conflicting emotions shing through the city lord''s wife''s face.


    The Xu husband and wife sighed and shook their heads. They knew it was not the Ye n that was facing such a massive threat but other powerful ns as well.


    The tide of the city had changed, and those powerful ns failed to adapt to the change right on time.


    Nevertheless, this rising trend was a huge opportunity for them.


    With their little bit of luck, they dug into the gold mine and increased the influence of the n.


    Each of their stores was making a massive profit. With the influence of their girl on You Connect, many knew of their n names.


    Looking at the departed back of the city lord''s wife and the elders.


    "Why don''t you try to talk with Cao Meng before you reject them?" She asked her husband.


    "Why should I? Thing is not as simple as it looks. The Cao n was just camouge. The people behind them were just using their n as a pitstop. Very soon, they will leave the n. Besides, do you think the Cao n has the authority to do such a thing?"


    He looked at his beautiful wife, waiting for her response. She thought for a moment and sighed.


    "What do you think of those people from the Barren Land?" She smoothly changed the topic, hugging her husband''s hand.


    Inside the carriage, the city lord''s wife looked at the quiet elder and asked. "What should we do now?"


    "I...I don''t know." He responded with a deep sigh.


    With the Xu n not ready to mediate between them and the Cao n. They only have one option left, join the queue.


    With the defeat of the powerful ns, the Celestial Heavenly store began another round of construction.


    This time around, all the ns volunteered to support the project.


    Everyone knew the Celestial Heavenly store was not as simple as they previously thought, and if they could get on their good side.


    They would benefit greatly.


    In a span of a month, the Celestial Heavenly store increased to one hundred in the outer city and fifty in the inner city.


    Yet, the massive inflow of people into the city never seemed to reduce, and it was increasing every day.


    Why, the widespread magical abilities of the spirit Comms have spread to the surrounding smaller towns even the next city close to Baiyun city have heard the mysterious ring.


    With the massive inflow of people, the business of the city boomed, with prizes skyrocketing.


    Those with restaurants, hotels, and shops were full of glee.


    Those who arrived came to buy the Spirit Comms and won''t get it immediately. They need to wait a couple of days or even weeks, leading to high inflow of money for the people of Baiyun city.


    Apart from that, people were looking forward to what was going to happen tonight.


    The top hundred most handsome man and beautiful woman would be finalized.


    Who would take the crown?


    Many young masters and young misses had tried massively to get people to vote for them.


    Some were even promising their n cultivation technique just to get people''s support.


    You Connect had be another battlefield for the people.


    Everyone wanted to be on the list. Therefore they were using whatever means to get it.


    Inside the Zi mansion, a middle-aged man and woman looked at the handsome young man in front of them with pride.


    "Are you confident about tonight?" Patriarch Zi asked his son.


    They were families of alchemist, but their alchemy inheritance was not anything spectacr.


    They could only make grade-1 pills and sometimes luckily make grade-2 pills.


    Their son, Zi Haoran didn''t like alchemy, which made it difficult for him to raise his head among his fellow nsmen.


    With his good looks, it invoked the envy and jealousy of a lot of young men, which allowed them to call him a lot of terrible names such as: Beauty with no brain.


    However, who would have expected his beauty would someday have its usefulness.


    And today was that day.


    Looking at the prideful smile of his parents, Zi Haoran was happy and smiled.


    "Father. Mother. You don''t need to worry; no one can take away the top spot from me," He said confidently.


    Unbeknownst to him, someone was rising at an rming speed, racing for the top spot.
