Chapter 1123: Chapter 1122: Wearing Too Much (1st Update)
Following the desert incident, the Phantom Sound Pavilion lost all traces of Zhu Qingshuang. No matter how much they searched, they couldn’t find any sign of her. The suspicion arose that the Long Alliance was harboring her, so they decided to send soone to visit in person.
On this day, Liu iyu, one of the Ten Charms of Miao Sound, visited the Long Alliance with a couple of confidants.
Ye Haochuan was not present, so Huo ngyao naturally received them.
Huo ngyao first invited Liu iyu into the reception hall and then sent soone to notify Ye Haochuan. After all, Liu iyu was a Core Formation Early Stage expert. If she wanted to deal with the Long Alliance, no one could stop her in Ye Haochuan’s absence.
Liu iyu’s expression remained gloomy and solemn, and her tone of speaking was abrupt, which made Huo ngyao a bit uneasy.
In the reception hall, Huo ngyao cautiously asked, “May I know the purpose of the friends from Phantom Sound Pavilion suddenly visiting the Long Alliance?”
Liu iyu said, “Have you seen the Kill List issued by our Phantom Sound Pavilion?”
Huo ngyao deflected, “Kill List? Sorry, I’ve been busy handling the affairs of the Long Alliance, and honestly haven’t had the ti to pay attention to any Kill List.”
Liu iyu knew this was Huo ngyao’s pretext and said, “Our Phantom Sound Pavilion’s traitor, Zhu Qingshuang, privately stole the sect’s supre treasure, the Red Moon Ancient Zither. The sect, considering past affections, has been lenient with her, hoping for her repentance. Yet, she remains incorrigible and refuses to return the zither. Our sect’s Elders Council has decided to place Zhu Qingshuang on the Kill List.”
Huo ngyao, upon hearing this, asked puzzledly, “This is your Phantom Sound Pavilion’s matter, what does it have to do with the Long Alliance?”
Liu iyu continued, “Our sect has placed Zhu Qingshuang on the Kill List. If anyone captures this traitor and returns the ancient zither, Phantom Sound Pavilion will richly reward them. But if anyone intends to harbor her, our Phantom Sound Pavilion will definitely investigate thoroughly!”
Huo ngyao said, “I regret hearing about your sect’s supre treasure going missing, but since our Long Alliance is newly established and overwheld with affairs, we truly can’t spare anyone to assist.”
Huo ngyao was using Taichi techniques with her words, which instantly angered Liu iyu, who smacked the table and said, “Are you claiming Zhu Qingshuang has nothing to do with your Long Alliance?!”
Liu iyu unleashed the pressure of a Core Formation Expert, oppressing Huo ngyao until she could hardly breathe, a naless fear rising in her heart.
“Your personal matters have nothing to do with our Long Alliance,” Huo ngyao argued with reason under the imnse pressure.
Liu iyu suddenly stood up, her eyes sharp, emanating coldness that forced Huo ngyao to avert her gaze.
“Hmph, what does it have to do with your Long Alliance?” Liu iyu scoffed, “At the Lingyun Manor Alliance Gathering, the Long Alliance won the honor of Supre Alliance and beca renowned. If my information is correct, during the matches at the Alliance Gathering, Zhu Qingshuang, represented the Long Alliance, didn’t she?”
This was a well-known fact that Huo ngyao could not refute, nor could she argue, as Zhu Qingshuang representing the Long Alliance showed that she was with the Long Alliance.
Seeing Huo ngyao speechless, Liu iyu pressed again, “Do you still dare to say Zhu Qingshuang has nothing to do with your Long Alliance?!”
Under Liu iyu’s imposing manner, Huo ngyao couldn’t speak for a while, sweat pouring from her forehead.
Just as Huo ngyao was at her wit’s end, Ye Haochuan’s voice suddenly ca, “Yes, Zhu Qingshuang is a mber of the Long Alliance, so what?”
Liu iyu turned around, her brows furrowed, “Alliance Master Ye, you finally arrived!”
Ye Haochuan replied indifferently, “What do you an I finally arrived? Don’t make it sound like a lover being late for a date with lantation!”
Surprisingly, Liu iyu was taken aback, realizing that Ye Haochuan remained so calm under her pressure, seemingly unaffected.
“Also, isn’t your Phantom Sound Pavilion being a bit too arrogant? Now that the Long Alliance is the dignified Supre Alliance, you ca in exerting Core Formation pressure, are you trying to show off your cultivation here, or is this the way Phantom Sound Pavilion treats its guests?”
Liu iyu was left speechless by Ye Haochuan’s words, imdiately withdrawing her pressure. Only then did Huo ngyao feel relieved, taking deep breaths.
Ye Haochuan looked at Huo ngyao and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Huo ngyao shook her head, “I’m fine.”
“Good to hear. You can go ahead and get busy, leave this to .”
Huo ngyao nodded, “The visitors co with ill intentions; you be careful too.” With that, she left.
At this ti, Ye Haochuan again focused his gaze on Liu iyu’s figure, sighing, “They say each of the Ten Charms of Miao Sound is more alluring than the last. Seeing you today, it’s indeed not a false reputation, but there’s sothing not so good about it…”
“What’s not good?”
“Just dressed too much, it’s a bit unsatisfying to look at!” With that, Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Eyes, politely peeking at Liu iyu’s body.
As a Core Formation expert, Liu iyu’s perception was exceedingly sharp. The mont Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Eyes, she felt like she was being watched.
“Hmph, have you seen enough!” Liu iyu slamd the table, pulling Ye Haochuan back to reality.
“Oh… what a pity, such a beautiful person, yet regarded as a player among many.”
“Show so respect when you speak!” Though not as experienced as Ye Haochuan, Liu iyu understood the implication of being called a player among many.
Ye Haochuan shrugged, “I’m just stating a fact. You’ve enjoyed yourself, and others can’t even comnt?”
Liu iyu’s face was dark with anger, her fury ignited with just a few remarks from Ye Haochuan.
“Hmph, Ye Haochuan, I’m not here for verbal sparring with you today. Tell , where is Zhu Qingshuang?” Liu iyu changed the subject.
Ye Haochuan crossed his arms, “Are you asking or interrogating ?”
“Think as you wish!”
“Alright, if you’re asking, sorry, I have no obligation to tell you; if you’re interrogating, even more sorry, I won’t tell you!”
Liu iyu imdiately countered, “Ye Haochuan, are you planning to oppose our Phantom Sound Pavilion?”
“Don’t put labels on . If you’re looking for Zhu Qingshuang, go ahead and find her. Coming to the Long Alliance demanding a person, what is this? Assuming without evidence that the Long Alliance is harboring Zhu Qingshuang?” Ye Haochuan retorted firmly.
“Zhu Qingshuang is with your Long Alliance; who else should we look for?”
“Ridiculous!” Ye Haochuan coldly said, “There are many mbers of the Long Alliance, not just from your Phantom Sound Pavilion; all other sects and groups have mbers with the Long Alliance. Is the Long Alliance supposed to take responsibility whenever soone goes missing?”
“Hmph, I don’t care about other sects, I only know Zhu Qingshuang is with your Long Alliance!”
“So what? The Long Alliance never restricts the freedom of its mbers, nor do we ddle in their sect’s affairs. Whatever personal vendettas you have, I don’t care, but if your Phantom Sound Pavilion thinks the Long Alliance is easy to bully, then you better ask , Ye Haochuan, first!”
“You…”
“What do you an, ‘you’!” Ye Haochuan said sharply, “The person your Phantom Sound Pavilion is looking for is not in the Long Alliance. Please leave!”
