Chapter 312 Yu Shangrong’s Identity
Si Wuya suddenly recalled Ye Tianxin mentioning that her cultivation base was almost fully recovered. He knew that her cultivation had been destroyed after she colluded with the Noble Path to attack their master. ‘How did she recover most of her cultivation base in such a short time after being banished from the pavilion? Is this the innate talent of the Fairfolk?’ After he dismissed his thoughts, he said, “I’ll help you look for it, senior sister.”
Ye Tianxin turned around slowly and looked at her surroundings. She looked at the secluded hut and the crude living quarters at the side before she said, “The great Darknet’s master lives here?”
“I have no choice. Now that I’ve lost my cultivation base, I can only stay put with my tail between my legs,” Si Wuya said.
“You’ve always had a glib tongue. You’re able to make a petty man who stirs up troubles from behind the scene sounds like a dignified person,” Ye Tianxin said as she stifled her laughter.
Si Wuya chuckled awkwardly and asked, “Where are you staying now, senior sister?”
“The four seas are my home.” “If you’re willing, you’re more than welcome to join the Darknet...” Si Wuya said.
Ye Tianxin chuckled. She glanced at the gray-robe cultivator standing at the side and said, “They say you’re very cunning. Are you trying to rope your senior sister into your schemes as well?”
“I would never!” Si Wuya hastily waved his hands.
“Come to think of it, you had quite a reputation as well back when you’re still in the Evil Sky Pavilion. Master had a short fuse, and yet, he seldom reprimanded you. Tell me honestly, why did you leave the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Ye Tianxin asked solemnly as she looked at Si Wuya. Her departure was different from the others. She had left due to the Fish Dragon Village. In hindsight, that had been a terrible mistake. She did not expect the others to leave as well.
Si Wuya sighed heavily and said, “What else if not for Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother?” “Eldest and Second Senior Brothers?” Ye Tianxin was puzzled. “What does your departure from the Evil Sky Pavilion have to do with them?”
“The two of them had always been loggerheads while they were in the Evil Sky Pavilion. If it weren’t for the iron rule of the Evil Sky Pavilion, they would’ve fought to their hearts’ content years ago. They’ve had quite a few conflicts this year as well. I don’t wish to see them rip each other’s throats out,” Si Wuya replied.
Ye Tianxin shook her head. “Is that all?” If the reason was merely trying to stop a fight, it was far from enough.
“As for the rest, you’ll have to ask Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother,” Si Wuya said.
“Why do I have to ask them?” Ye Tianxin was puzzled. Si Wuya did not answer her question. Instead, he responded with another question. “Sixth Senior Sister, what do you think of Second Senior Brother?”
“He’s polite and gentle... A thousand times better than those sanctimonious hypocrites from the Noble Path,” Ye Tianxin replied.
Si Wuya nodded. He said, “Yan is in the north. The people there are immaculately dressed and carried swords. They’re usually accompanied by two tigers at their sides, and yet, they remain gentle and avoid conflicts. There’s a flower known as melilot that blooms at dawn and withers at dusk. The people are of equal standing, and they conduct themselves politely and know no envy.”
Although Ye Tianxin did not completely understand Si Wuya’s words, she was shocked by the words he used to elaborate on their Second Senior Brother. She did not question him further. The answer was clear.
Si Wuya continued to say, “Believe me, the circumstances are complicated, and I have to get to the bottom of it.”
Ye Tianxin’s thoughts were in a mess. When she found out she was a Fairfolk, otherwise, known as the Bai people, her thoughts were in chaos for a long time. When she thought about this, she felt she had no reason to doubt Si Wuya’s words. A nobleman. Why did she not think of this sooner?
“What about Eldest Senior Brother?”
“To be honest, I don’t know,” Si Wuya replied, “Initially, I plan to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion after master’s time is up to thoroughly investigate the matter. However, until now, master isn’t showing any signs of succumbing to his life limit. I think you’ve personally witnessed that, Sixth Senior Sister.”
Ye Tianxian did not reply to him. Not only was their master not succumbing to his life limit, but he seemed no different from when he was at his peak. When she recalled the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus, she said, “Perhaps, master has attained the Nine-leaf stage.”
“Impossible!” Si Wuya said confidently.
“I saw it with my own eyes.”
Si Wuya had no reply to this. He wanted to remind her that some words should not be spoken lightly.
Before Si Wuya could reply, Ye Tianxin shook her head and said, “Perhaps, it was just a trick of my eyes...” “...” Si Wuya felt relieved upon hearing this. It was difficult to deal with such a serious conversation. Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more impossible he thought it was. If their master had truly attained the Nine-leaf stage, their master would not have allowed them to roam freely and do as they pleased. Their master would have also dealt with the Noble Path with his avatar.
“Although I don’t agree with your methods, there’s no doubt you’re the smartest among us. I believe you... Send my regards to Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother.” After she finished speaking, she made her way to the entrance.
“Won’t you consider joining the Darknet, senior sister?” Si Wuya asked again.
“No... You’d do well to take care of yourself considering your current state.” As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Tianxin’s figure seemed to vanish in the mist.
Ye Zhixing immediately bowed. He felt relieved inwardly. “Safe journey, Miss Sixth.”
Si Wuya smiled and said, “Come to think of it, your surname is Ye as well... Do you fear my Sixth Senior Sister that much?”
Ye Zhixing waved his hands immediately. He would never dare to claim that they were from the same clan.
Si Wuya did not pursue the matter. Instead, he asked, “How’s Eldest Senior Brother doing lately?”
“The Nether Sect is taking a rest after defeating the Righteous Sect. There are now tens of thousands of cultivators from the Fiend Path under the Nether Sect’s banner. In my opinion, it won’t be long before the Nether Sect makes its move against its next target,” said Ye Zhixing.
“In that case, Eldest Senior Brother won’t have time to deal with the palace.” Si Wuya shook his head and sighed.
“Sect master, what do you mean?”
“I’ll have to personally visit the hunting enclosure,” Si Wuya replied.
“Sect master, you’ve lost your cultivation base. You shouldn’t go.”
“With you by my side, I can be at ease,” Si Wuya said.
“I swear to protect you with my life, sect master.”
The Divine Capital’s Imperial city. Inside Jingyang Palace.
Mo Li applied yellow powder on her face as she looked into the mirror. She seemed to be in a good mood. After she was done, she rose to her feet and spoke to the big and tall man standing on the other side of the screen, “Senior brother, thank you for treating my wounds.”
“We’re fellow disciples. There’s no need to thank me.”
“His Highness has said that you’ll be the lord of many and the subordinate of one if everything goes well,” Mo Li said with a smile.
Ba Ma shook his head and placed his hands on his back as he said, “I’m afraid that things aren’t as simple as you think.”
“Senior brother, you’ve always been indecisive... Don’t worry, we’ve had it all planned out this time. The Evil Sky Pavilion’s fifth disciple, Zhao Yue, is already in the palace. The fourth disciple is here as well. The Empress Dowager will head to Rubei in due time. With so many casualties... I won’t let them get away.”
Ba Ma recalled the scene on the Lotus Dais, and he shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t believe you... However, there’s more to the old villain than meets the eye.” “I’m only worried he won’t show up...” Mo Li smiled and said, “Senior brother, to tell you the truth, the Second Prince has handed the blueprints of the Ten Terminal Formation to me a long time ago,”
Ba Ma’s eyes widened.
Mo Li continued to say, “Under the Second Prince’s orders, I’ve laid down the Ten Terminal Formation at the four capitals of Great Yan...” She smiled sinisterly, looking pleased with herself. “One of them is at the Upper Prime... Another one is in Rubei. Only His Highness, the Second Prince, and I know about this! Senior brother, you’re the third person to know about this...” She smiled as she walked up to Ba Ma.
Ba Ma sighed and said, “Be careful not to burn yourself when you play with fire.”
“With you here, senior brother, this junior sister feels at ease.” Mo Li flashed a charming smile.
Ba Ma frowned at the sight. He no longer wanted to look at her so he turned and walked to the window. “Oh, well. For Lou Lan.”
“That’s right... Nobody apart from me knows how many hardships I had to endure to infiltrate the palace and climb to where I am now. Your cultivation base and wisdom are far superior to mine, senior brother... If we work together and combine our strengths, there won’t be a problem.”
