In the Divine Court Realm, the speed of flying through the air is indeed not slow, but compared to a mount specialized for flying, it's still lacking. Moreover, cultivators need to expend vital energy to fly, and to surpass a flying mount, one would have to use the Great Divine Ability of Thousand Mile Pursuit. However, this method consumes even more vital energy, let alone for everyday travel.

Little Yuan'er nervously jumped onto Baize.

The soft feathers and seemingly glowing horns left Little Yuan'er secretly amazed.

Mounts are tamed from ferocious beasts. Ordinary ferocious beasts are often slow and more suited for pulling cargo; stronger ones are usually found in wealthy families. Ancient records mention that Great Yan once had giant beasts that ate people, and even beast kings as long as three hundred meters, though the truth of these claims is uncertain.

Most cultivators can't even dream of riding a mount like Baize; capturing and taming one is already quite an achievement.

A mount like Baize: if you don't have one at birth, you'll never own one in your lifetime.

Of course, this is just a jest, referring to the difficulty of taming ferocious beasts and acquiring mounts.

"Hold on tight."

Lu Zhou raised his right arm, protecting Little Yuan'er in his embrace.

Baize let out a cry that resonated throughout Jinting Mountain.

The birds and beasts scattered instantly.

Baize stepped on the clouds, heading towards Anyang.

An hour later.

Above a forested area on the outskirts of Anyang City, Lu Zhou slowly descended with Baize.

Little Yuan'er was overwhelmed, unable to calm down for a long time after landing.

"We've arrived in Anyang," Lu Zhou said, looking in the direction of Anyang City, and leapt off Baize.

His body was now mostly able to move freely.

Seeing Little Yuan'er still in a daze, Lu Zhou called out again, "Yuan'er."

Little Yuan'er snapped back to reality, "Master, Master..."

She jumped off Baize.

"Disciple didn't mean to, it's just that Baize is so beautiful."

"Beautiful?"

Women do seem to view things from the same perspective.

"Yes, yes, I've never seen such a beautiful mount."

"Now that we're in Anyang, to avoid drawing attention, I will first put the mount away. Also... your attire and aura are quite distinctive, they need some alteration."

Little Yuan'er's fame in the cultivation realm, though not as great as her senior brothers and sisters, was still notable. Since they were investigating the Ci Family, they naturally needed to conceal their identities.

"Disciple understands."

Little Yuan'er imitated her master's manner, concealing her aura.

The two of them walked on foot, changing into ordinary clothes at a farmer's house in the countryside.

After the makeover, they looked more like a grandfather and granddaughter entering the city.

"Hee hee, Master, you look more like a farmer now," Little Yuan'er giggled, covering her mouth.

"No matter."

Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, "From now on, we will refer to each other as grandfather and granddaughter."

"Disciple understands."

"Hmm?"

"Uh... grandpa, grandpa..."

Suddenly changing to calling him grandpa, Little Yuan'er felt uncomfortable all over.

But it didn't take long for Little Yuan'er's mischievous nature to surface, and she quickly adapted, calling him grandpa with ease.

At first, Lu Zhou was quite speechless, considering he was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight in his previous life. Being called that was indeed a bit awkward.

But after getting used to it, it gradually didn't bother him anymore.

Fortunately, with the system, he could reverse aging; otherwise... it might have been better not to transmigrate.

Entering Anyang City.

Lu Zhou and Little Yuan'er looked around.

The streets of Anyang City were bustling, with performers, storytellers, and vendors everywhere.

"Who would have thought Anyang City would be so lively," Lu Zhou praised.

"Hee hee... Grandpa, it's so fun."

Little Yuan'er bounced left and right.

She casually grabbed a skewer of candied hawthorn.

"Hey, hey, little girl, you stole my candied hawthorn!" The candied hawthorn vendor rushed over.

Little Yuan'er bared her tiger teeth, intimidatingly saying, "Scram, it's your fortune that I eat your stuff. If you shout again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"......"

The vendor was indeed startled; he had never encountered such a fierce little girl.

"Yuan'er."

"Ah? Grandpa..." Little Yuan'er immediately became meek, turning into a well-behaved girl.

"Pay for it."

"Grandpa, he was so fierce, I listened to you and didn't hit him." Little Yuan'er pouted, as if she was the one wronged.

Lu Zhou shook his head, thinking these villains must be used to snatching things, not even understanding basic principles. Fortunately, these issues were exposed after leaving the mountain.

Let's teach slowly.

"If everyone snatched things like you, who would make candied hawthorn?"

"Oh."

Little Yuan'er had no choice but to pay.

[Ding, you have disciplined Little Yuan'er, earning 100 Merit Points.]

The two continued walking along the street.

Ahead, there was a lively crowd of young people gathered.

Lu Zhou pointed at the crowd, "Go take a look."

"I'm on it." Little Yuan'er loved excitement the most.

She bounced over, but the crowd was too packed; normally, Little Yuan'er wouldn't be able to squeeze in.

Little Yuan'er stomped her foot in frustration.

Crack!

A groove appeared on the road beneath her foot.

"Move aside."

The men on either side saw Little Yuan'er's stance and took a step back in fear.

"She's a Body-Refined Expert!"

"At least Body Refinement level five, she stomped a pit with her foot! My goodness..."

"Even a little girl is so formidable!"

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

Lu Zhou saw this and just shook his head lightly; her temper was much more volatile than when she was on the mountain.

No wonder these villains always wanted to leave Jinting Mountain to carry out tasks.

It's much more free and comfortable outside, isn't it?

Once the crowd dispersed, the scene became clear.

In front, there was a table with three people sitting, large knives hanging from their waists. The man in the middle, with a slight beard, glanced at Little Yuan'er and nodded approvingly, "Not bad, not bad, little girl, do you want to join our sect?"

"What?"

"Your foundation is good, that stomp just now had the skill of Body Refinement level five. How about this, register your name, and from today, you'll be a member of the Azure Dragon Association's Anyang branch," the young man said.

"When did I ever say I wanted to join some pompous Azure Dragon Association?" Little Yuan'er felt baffled.

"Hmm? Little girl, you have some nerve, daring to insult the Azure Dragon Association?"

Little Yuan'er swaggered over, lifted her foot, and stomped on the table, causing it to collapse with a crack, saying, "What is the Azure Dragon Association? What are you doing here? Speak up, my grandpa is getting impatient."

"Where did this wild girl come from, here to make trouble? You don't even know the Azure Dragon Association..."

Just as they were about to make a move.

Lu Zhou walked over and said, "Stop."

His voice wasn't particularly deep, but it carried a hint of vital energy, clearly reaching the other party's ears.

"Interesting, old man, Body Refinement level seven or eight?" The young man curiously looked at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou ignored him and said, "Yuan'er, we can have the Anyang Azure Dragon Association help investigate the Ci Family matter."

Little Yuan'er's eyes lit up, "I understand, Grandpa."

She turned her head, her smile turning fierce, "You guys... come here!"

"Heh... this wild girl probably doesn't know that the Azure Dragon Association's backer is the Netherworld Sect, right?"

"What? Netherworld Sect?" Little Yuan'er was stunned, looking back at her master. The leader of the Netherworld Sect was her First Senior Brother, wasn't it? The disciple's disciples and grand-disciples wanting to recruit the ancestor into the sect... this...

Little Yuan'er anxiously kept glancing at her master, afraid he would be enraged.

"Afraid?"

Lu Zhou frowned slightly, turning his gaze to the man, "Are you saying the Azure Dragon Association's backer is the Netherworld Sect?"

"That's right!"

"Old man, I think you're not bad, join our Azure Dragon Association as a cook, and you'll have good food and drink, with the Azure Dragon Association covering you."
