Die i and Ye Lingyue parted ways, then headed towards Sifang City.
Just after entering Sifang City, soone suddenly flashed by in front.
Die i recognized the person and couldn’t help but be moved.
"Elder Ying, I saw you just ca from outside the city, hurrying. What were you up to?"
The one who blocked Die i was Yue i.
Yue i examined Elder Ying from top to bottom; she had been keeping an eye on Elder Ying recently. She always felt that compared to the previous Ying Shuiji who looked down on people, the current Elder Ying seed like a completely different person.
For example, today’s conversation with the Sifang City Lord, if it had been the past, Elder Ying would have definitely scolded her for being unreasonable, but today, Elder Ying didn’t say anything and seed distracted.
After returning to the inn, Yue i heard from several other female disciples that Elder Ying had gone out.
Yue i beca suspicious and searched for Elder Ying in the city, only to see Elder Ying returning from outside the city.
Die i was startled in her heart and inwardly cursed in alarm.
She had underestimated Yue i; she didn’t expect this arrogant and rude female disciple to also be so cautious.
"Nephew Yue, it’s just..." In her urgency, Die i was about to make an excuse when she suddenly heard a sudden and sowhat surprised voice behind her.
"Isn’t that Miss Yue i and Elder Ying?"
Yue i, who had been questioning Elder Ying, suddenly changed her expression and stretched into a smile upon seeing the person behind her.
"Great Elder Chang Luo, are you also in Sifang City?"
After Yue i entered the city, she had been asking around, wanting to know the whereabouts of Chen Mu and the others, but unfortunately did not get any news.
Unexpectedly, she ran into them on the street.
Upon seeing Great Elder Chang Luo, Die i’s eyes lit up, and an idea quickly ca to mind.
"Great Elder, you’ve really made look hard for you." As she spoke, she even cast a flirtatious glance at Great Elder Chang Luo, displaying a very intimate attitude.
Great Elder Chang Luo had previously had a falling out with Elder Ying and hadn’t dared to connect with her recently, not expecting the sudden turn of fortune, with Elder Ying extending an olive branch. While puzzled, he glanced at Die i.
This glance revealed that Elder Ying appeared even more beautiful than the last ti they parted, that look, those eyes, set his heart racing, and even flushed his usually unflappable face with a hint of red.
Seeing the two elders flirting openly and disregarding others, the disciples of the Hunyuan Sect found it nothing unusual, exchanged knowing glances with each other, understanding the situation.
They were all confidants of Great Elder Chang Luo; they had already known about the matters between the two elders.
Seeing this, Yue i understood as well—it appeared that Elder Ying was also in the sa boat. Her earlier departure from the city was likely to et Great Elder Chang Luo; judging by their interaction, they probably had been involved for quite so ti.
Yue i had always wanted to engage in Dual Cultivation with Chen Mu but was fearful of their sect finding out. Now, seeing the expressions of Elder Ying and Great Elder Chang Luo, her courage bolstered, she decided to stop doubting Elder Ying.
"How co, Senior Brother Chen isn’t with you?"
With her keen eyes, Yue i glanced behind Great Elder Chang Luo but didn’t spot her beloved Chen Mu, leading to a tinge of disappointnt.
"Are you talking about Chen Mu? Ah, it’s a long story, he’s not in Sifang City right now and is accompanying another disciple, An Yang, in a trial. I see that you both have just arrived in Sifang City, looking weary from travel. Why don’t I, on your behalf, play host and welco you properly?" inferring from Elder Ying and Yue i’s arrival that they ca to watch the World’s First Refining, Great Elder Chang Luo thought pleasing them could be very beneficial for the upcoming finals.
Imdiately, Great Elder Chang Luo led them to an inn in Sifang City, recounting the trials Chen Mu faced along with a fellow disciple; their journey was fraught with difficulties, their Four-direction Boat was destroyed, and they failed to rank in the top ten of the Sifang Ranking.
However, when speaking of the Sand Ant attack, Great Elder Chang Luo altered the story, claiming Chen Mu tried to rescue another group, only to be frad by them, leading to the loss of their Four-direction Boat, and they ended up victims of the situation.
"Ah, Mumu, the child is just too kind-hearted, it’s because of others he’s ended up in trouble himself. I don’t know if he and An Yang will be able to make it to the finals." Great Elder Chang Luo sighed deeply with emotion.
If it weren’t for Die i already knowing how untrustworthy this old man was, she might have been deceived by his false facade of deep master-disciple affection.
Elder Ying thought to herself in her heart.
Shaless old man, it’s likely your disciple who foolishly attacked the Sand Ant nest, got overpowered, and ended up losing heavily.
However, after hearing this, Yue i believed it wholeheartedly.
"How outrageous, those who frad Senior Brother Chen are utterly shaless. What’s the na of that group? If they are participating in the World’s First Refining, I won’t let them off easily."
Yue i had already seen Chen Mu as her Dual Cultivation partner, her face showing a shared sense of enmity.
"That person is Hei Yue. After framing Brother Mu and his brother, they resorted to nurous dirty tricks along the way and unbelievably ended up as the top ranker on the Sifang Ranking. What an injustice by the heavens." Seeing Yue i fall for his fabrication, Great Elder Chang Luo was overjoyed and added more fuel to the fire.
Great Elder Chang Luo had already learned from An Yang that Ye Lingyue also participated in the World’s First Refining under a false identity.
That woman caused his daughter Xue Pianran great misery and almost made him break ties with Elder Ying. He couldn’t rest until he had his revenge.
"Hei Yue? Is this person a woman?" Yue i asked, becoming suspicious.
She was sharp and began to suspect that Chen Mu might have feelings for this female contestant nad Hei Yue.
Great Elder Chang Luo didn’t expect Yue i to be so jealous. He looked at Elder Ying, thinking that all won of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion were indeed very possessive.
While his own disciple hadn’t completely won over Yue i yet, it was still good to stay on her good side, so Great Elder Chang Luo hurriedly changed the topic.
"It’s just a self-righteous Female Alchemist, Nephew Yue, if only you had arrived sooner, you could have upheld justice for Mumu and the others. Now, with only the last day and night left for the competition, and few Fierce Beasts left around the sand river, I’m afraid Mumu is bound to lose."
Upon hearing this, Yue i imdiately responded without hesitation.
"That may not necessarily be true, Great Nephew Great Elder, I might have a way to help Brother Mu and the others."
Yue i then revealed that after midnight tonight, she along with the Sifang City Lord would open the Demon Awakening Gate.
If Chen Mu and the others were also present, she might be able to lure out so Fierce Beasts or even a Demon God Beast. As long as she and Chen Mu worked together, they might be able to turn around their situation of trailing in hunting points.
