Capítulo 1083: Chapter 759: Fair-Weather Friends (Part 2)
When looking at these Immortal Sect disciples, the spies sent into the Demon World each year at most can only establish themselves in the border city of Mo City, with the constant risk of exposure leading to becoming war slaves without dignity upon discovery.
anwhile, the internal forces of the Demon Clan remain as impenetrable as a fortress, giving not the slightest opportunity for the Immortal Sect people to infiltrate.
Baili An sighed helplessly and asked, “Do you also play any other roles in the Taixuan Sect and Cangwu Palace?”
Ning Feiyan replied, “Accurate moves do not an things are as divine as they seem. The River Lords in the Demon World play different roles in the Mortal World, and it’s by no ans an easy task to prevent the world from suspecting it. The identity of Ji Yan is by no ans comparable to that of a Loose Cultivator sect elder. Nurturing this identity has exhausted my efforts. As for the Taixuan Cangwu, I fear another River Lord has been placed among them.”
“So the reason you called here today is…”
Ning Feiyan’s eyes sparkled mischievously, “You thought I wanted to see you? I’m not one of those lovelorn fools preoccupied with love. I was rely entrusted by soone: Yun Rong knows she can’t persuade you to descend the mountain, so she specially ca to ask to intervene.”
Baili An frowned, “Why is she so eager for to leave the mountain?”
The smile faded from Ning Feiyan’s eyes as she replied solemnly, “Perhaps even you haven’t realized it, but your spirit platform at the center of your eyebrows was affected by the Heart Burning Fruit, staining your luck black. When you left the Demon World, it wasn’t so bad, but from the day you entered the Xijian Sect, your spirit platform darkened, a sign of a deadly calamity. It ans if you continue to linger at Bai Tuo Mountain, a terrible disaster awaits.”
Baili An remained silent for a long while and said, “Since my birth, how few disasters have I faced?”
“I knew ordinary thods wouldn’t dissuade a stubborn head like yours.” Ning Feiyan took out a silver-headed smoking pipe, took a slow drag, and exhaled smoke rings, “Look at the ti, the disciples coming for the lecture will arrive soon. You should leave through the back door and join the others for the lecture. Rember, you got in through connections, have so self-awareness, just sit in the far corner and avoid much interaction with those distinguished disciples.”
Baili An asked curiously, “Why should I listen to your lecture?”
Ning Feiyan rolled her eyes, “In two days, if you wish to enter the Sword Pavilion, you must obediently follow my lecture. Don’t you want to investigate your origins? The Sword Pavilion holds plenty of treasures.”
Baili An’s expression slightly changed, but he said nothing, rely touched her belly before leaving.
Ning Feiyan, unresisting to his familiar gestures, seed as if he’d prematurely assud the role of a father.
“Cough, cough, cough!!!” Ning Feiyan choked on a puff of smoke, clutching her chest and coughing heavily, a peculiar guilty expression creeping onto her face.
Hong Zhuang stepped forward to change her tea, gritting her teeth, “You’ve never feared heaven nor earth, yet why does such a little gesture from him frighten you? I think having no child is nothing to regret—n are like clothes, best used as furnaces. Could it be you truly wish to bear a child for that scoundrel of a man?”
“I think it’s best to tell him the truth sooner, so he stops secretly staring at your belly. He thinks he’s so capable when he’s rely your pawn, thinking one ti makes him all-capable, dreaming!”
Ning Feiyan lazily glanced at her, causing Hong Zhuang to smartly fall silent, saying no more.
At Bai Tuo Mountain, the early morning air flows abundantly, magnificent and flourishing. The mountain’s empty verdant is snowy, ripples in the water weave misty wisps, the grass’s smoke light infinite. Young disciples led by Ying Xiu and Qi Liancheng marched orderly on the mountain path.
So noticed Baili An also appeared in the team, whispering quietly amongst themselves, expressing discontent.
“This person hasn’t even passed the Nine Trials, at most relied on connections to beco a registered disciple. Even if he’s on good terms with the Thirteen Swords Masters, he has no qualification to attend the Sovereign Lord’s lecture!”
“This pretty-boy doesn’t co from nowhere. I heard he’s fancied by so big figure within the Xijian Sect, allowing him to do everything against the rules.”
“Alas, what a pity to have studied painstakingly for over a decade, yet it doesn’t compare to the advantages he got from his parents’ good looks. Look at that pretty appearance of his, like a ‘rabbit gentleman’. Not only won, but n can’t resist being moved by such looks.” The speaker seed to praise but it was actually vile.
Jiang Yunqin, an aristocratic daughter, could not stand such foul language and frowned, “Mind your words, didn’t you see the Sword Master referring to him as the City Lord last night? The City Lord of Xianling City couldn’t be just anybody.”
Soone scoffed, “I heard this year the Xianling City Lord succeeding wasn’t clear. As soon as that City Lord took over, there was no ssage. Who knows if they’re a hollow shell passed down by succession?”
“Ying Xiu His Highness also participated in that Xianling City assessnt. If this man truly has ability, Ying Xiu His Highness surely knows.”
Walking at the forefront, Ying Xiu looked straight ahead, calmly saying, “Relying on won isn’t much of an ability.”
With these words, it confird everyone’s suspicions, laughter becoming increasingly blatant around them.
To these idle words, Baili An ignored them, listening with one ear and out the other. While walking, a petite figure suddenly rushed out from the back path and grabbed onto his clothing with a small hand.
