Old Demon wasn’t clear about who this mysterious master was so he asked curiously.
Yang Kai told him the shot version of his two encounters with her.
After listening to this, Old Demon felt slightly shocked as he looked at ng Wu Ya, “Even you didn’t catch a glimpse of this person’s face?”
Treasurer ng slowly shook his head, “There’s so kind of special aura around this person isolates them from other’s investigation. I’d guess that even if an Above Immortal Ascension Boundary wanted to, it won’t be easy. As long as this person wants to hide himself, no one will be able to find him.”
“Impressive!” Old Demon said then quickly sneered, “But from the fact that this guy was injured by Ying Jiu and Young Master, his personal strength doesn’t seem to be very high.”
Near the Pill Room, the mysterious master had suffered a hit from Ying Jiu’s Flickering Shadow Strike and was slightly injured, then at Po Jing Lake, she hadn’t been able to completely avoid Yang Kai’s sword wave. If her strength was really high enough to avoid detection from the likes of ng Wu Ya and Old Demon, these situations wouldn’t have occurred.
Yang Kai nodded in agreent, “But even still, this person is definitely a formidable master.”
“What does Young Master want to do?” Old Demon looked up and grinned.
“I’ll say this first, don’t expect this old master to intervene.” ng Wu Ya looked at Yang Kai and said, “This old master is only here to protect Chang’er. As for this whole Inheritance War ss, this old master won’t get involved.”
After saying that, he let out a sowhat tired sigh, “This old master is getting on in years, if I were to intervene in you young people’s affairs I’d have no face left at all.”
“I never wanted you to intervene,” Yang Kai chuckled, “I just wanted to ask you two if you had any good ideas about how to expose that person?”
ng Wu Ya shook his head while Old Demon grimaced slightly. If even ng Wu Ya had no way to draw this mysterious master out, Old Demon obviously wouldn’t either. Only if this person appeared in Yang Kai’s mansion again would there be a chance, but after being almost caught last ti, as long as they weren’t an idiot they wouldn’t try again anyti soon.
“Young Master, do you have any information on that person at all? Even Old Servant can’t make porridge without rice.” Old Demon asked.
“Information... there is one thing.” Yang Kai suddenly said.
“Oh? What?” ng Wu Ya and Old Demon looked over at it at the sa ti.
“She’s a woman!” Yang Kai’s eyes flashed.
“How do you know?” Treasurer ng frowned.
Yang Kai smiled as he pulled out a long blue silk like hair from his sleeve and held it up, “This fell off her at Po Jing Lake.”
Pausing for a mont, he continued, “However, I don’t know why her hair looks like this. Both of you are experienced and knowledgeable, have you ever seen this colour of hair before?”
ng Wu Ya and Old Demon looked at the blue strand of hair at the sa ti and couldn’t help showing so surprise.
This strand of hair was very different from an ordinary woman’s hair, for almost all people, whether they were man and woman, their hair would be black, but this strand was actually a unique color of pale blue.
Besides being unusually smooth and supple, this colour was quite unusual.
After a mont, ng Wu Ya and Old Demon exchanged a glance and, each of them seeing a strange look in the other’s face.
Seeing this kind of reaction, Yang Kai secretly began guessing what they were thinking about.
After a short silence, ng Wu Ya said, “I don’t know who this woman is, and I’ve never heard of anyone with this particular colour of hair, but I would guess it’s related to her cultivation technique and physique. Yang Kai, don’t make things too difficult for this person. She may co from an extraordinary place.”
If ng Wu Ya said so, although he didn’t provide any specifics, Yang Kai still nodded in a dignified manner.
He hadn’t intended on acting ruthless in the first place.
Suddenly Old Demon let out an evil laugh, “Young Master, if this hair is really from that woman, Old Servant might have a way to find her!”
“Oh?” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, “How sure are you?”
“Heh heh... Soul tracking is one of this old servant’s specialities, just sit back and prepare for a good show! With this hair of hers to use as a dium, she’ll have nowhere to hide!” Old Demon said confidently.
“Evil Demon Techniques!” ng Wu Ya snorted disdainfully.
Instead of being offended, Old Demon just grinned more cheerfully.
Yang Kai didn’t care what ans he used as long as he could find the mysterious woman, asking, “How long do you need?”
“Old Servant can finish the preparations in ten days, but everything after that will depend on luck, if that woman never cos close to this old servant again, there’ll be no way to track her!”
“Then prepare as soon as possible!” Yang Kai firmly declared.
No matter what kind of purpose this woman had for approaching the Pill Room, since she wasn’t successful the first ti, she would definitely try again, and judging from her appearance at Po Jing Lake, this person absolutely wasn’t timid and didn’t hold anyone in her eyes. Soone who would steal sothing right out from under the noses of this world’s heroes would surely have a great deal of self-confidence and arrogance. She wouldn’t retreat simply because of a little setback. After she found a way to completely conceal her aura, she would definitely co again.
All Yang Kai had to do was wait for her next visit before springing his trap!
Handing the light blue hair over to Old Demon, Yang Kai hurried away.
Quickly finding Qiu Yi ng near the Artifact Refining workshop, Yang Kai secretly spoke a few words to her. No one knew what the two discussed, only that after Yang Kai whispered sothing to her, Qiu Yi ng vehently objected, even going so far as to grab Yang Kai’s arm and refuse to let go.
The Qiu Family’s First Young Lady rarely ever acted so boldly. From birth, she had received strict education on etiquette and behaviour from her tutors, but now she had actually latched onto Yang Kai in full view of the surrounding crowd, almost as if she was begging him not to abandon her. All around, everyone was silently speculating about what was happening.
In the end, Yang Kai managed to break free from Qiu Yi ng’s grip and strode away, leaving the Qiu Family’s First Young Lady standing there in a frustrated and angry state.
“Young Lady Qiu, what did Junior Brother Yang just say?” Lan Chu Die had just finished having her artifact looked at and had co out for a breath of fresh air when she saw this scene and found it quite curious.
“Nothing.” Qiu Yi ng quickly regained her composure and slowly shook her head.
Lan Chu Die smiled and no longer asked, knowing that she wasn’t qualified to contact too many high-level secrets with her current identity.
On the other hand, the Hu Sisters looks out the window and also witnessed this scene.
“Did you see that? That slly brat is too shaless! Actually flirting with that Qiu Family woman in public! i’er, you must be careful of him! Don’t get swept up in his pace!” Hu Jiao Er ground her teeth as she complained to her little sister.
Hu i Er on the other hand just held her slightly blushed cheeks and stared at where Yang Kai had just been, obviously not having heard a word her Elder sister had said.
Seeing this spellbound appearance, Hu Jiao Er couldn’t help but sigh, reaching out her small jade hand and pinching her little sister’s dainty nose, wiggling it slightly, “Cultivate!”
“Ah... en.” Hu i Er nodded and reluctantly took back her gaze.
Although the Blood Battle Gang and Storm Hall joined Yang Kai later than the other forces in the house, Qiu Yi ng didn’t supply them with any less pills. With the help of the Mysterious Grade Pills that seed to flow freely from the Pill Room, the Hu Sisters’ rate of progress was better than ever and after only a few days of cultivation their Twin Qi Shared Spirit Divine Art was showing signs of a breakthrough.
Also, after repeatedly taking these pills, the Hu Sisters clearly felt that there were so subtle changes occurring in their bodies and it was now easier for them to absorb the surrounding World Energy than ever before. Their ridians were tougher and more flexible, allowing them to circulate their Secret Art even more quickly.
Having witnessed Yang Kai’s aptitude and strength made both of them feel pressured, and they knew if they didn’t work hard, they would only be left behind by him, so naturally they didn’t slack at all in their cultivation.
............
Night ti, War City eastern corner, Yang Wei’s mansion.
Yang Wei, who was refining the Mysterious Grade artifact he had obtained a few days ago, suddenly heard a knock at his door and his brow couldn’t help but wrinkle as he called out, “What?”
“Eldest Young Lord, soone’s co to visit.” ng Shan Yi’s voice ca from outside, a hint of awkwardness in his tone.
“Who?” Yang Wei’s eyes flashed. ng Shan Yi knew he was in the process of refining a Mysterious Grade artifact yet he had still co to disturb him, obviously this guest was unusual.
But what person could cause ng Shan Yi’s tone to beco so strange?
“I think it’s probably Yang Kai!”
“Ninth Brother?” Yang Wei’s voice suddenly increased in pitch slightly, his tone also becoming sowhat strained.
Soon, the door was opened and Yang Wei appeared in front of ng Shan Yi with a sullen face, asking in a serious tone, “Is it really Ninth Brother?”
ng Shan Yi grinned awkwardly as he scratched his head, “I can’t see his face but Senior Ying Jiu is beside him, it’s basically impossible for Ying Jiu to be following anyone else.”
Yang Wei’s eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded, “Since Ying Jiu is here, it must be Ninth Brother.”
Suddenly grinning, Yang Wei mutter, “Such boldness, it seems I still can’t see through Ninth Brother.”
Although he had ford a temporary alliance with Yang Kai during the Po Jing Lake artifact snatching battle, in the end, the two were still opponents So; Yang Kai daring to visit his out with only Ying Jiu for protection showed his courage wasn’t ordinary.
“Eldest Young Lord, this is a rare opportunity!” ng Shan Yi’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke, “Considering Yang Kai’s performance since the start of the Inheritance War till now, he will definitely beco a stronger opponent than even the Second Young Lord, so now that he’s appeared in our territory all alone...”
As he said so, he made a slicing motion across his neck.
However, Yang Wei just snickered and slowly shook his head.
“Eldest Young Lord!” ng Shan Yi’s tone rose once more, unable to understand why Yang Wei didn’t want to take advantage of this chance, “This is too good an opportunity to pass up! If you don’t take him out now, I’m afraid there won’t be a second chance.”
In the beginning, no one was optimistic about Yang Kai’s chances, but in one night he had turned all that around and now the number of people betting on his victory was only growing. This wasn’t without reason either; the pace of developnt at Yang Kai’s mansion was nothing short of astounding.
The gap between him and his brothers was gradually expanding and as ti passed this gap would only beco bigger and bigger until he ultimately eliminated all of them and beco the final winner.
ng Shan Yi felt like he could all but see that day coming so, as an ally of Yang Wei, how could he not be worried?
But faced with such a tempting opportunity, the Eldest Young Lord suddenly seed to have so brotherly scruples; it was nothing short of foolishness.
“I have my own thoughts on this matter, don’t say anymore!” Yang Wei waved his hand and strode away.
ng Shan Yi was depressed as he smiled bitterly, but after thinking about it for a mont, his expression suddenly beca firm before he quickly turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
