Capítulo 2113: Chapter 2102: Hidden Connections
Blood continuously dripped from Xue Wanqing’s palm.
Her gaze was fixed intently on the desecrated graveyard before her.
Her face bore an expression that was a mix of anger and coldness, a chilling coldness that made Ye Chenfeng, standing beside her, furrow his brows.
The look in Xue Wanqing’s eyes was becoming calr, an unnaturally composed expression that suggested she might descend into madness if unchecked, possibly turning into a re killing machine.
A strong murderous aura surged around her, her silk clothes fluttered with the breeze, and she seed completely oblivious to Ye Chenfeng standing beside her.
Ye Chenfeng couldn’t let Xue Wanqing’s emotions spiral out of control; otherwise, things would beco irreparable. He placed his hands on her shoulders and gently turned her to face him.
Ye Chenfeng spoke gently, “Why are you doing this to yourself? Do you want to beco a re shell? Is it worth it for those people of the Xues? Even if your mother’s spirit is watching over you, would she want to see you like this? Your mother’s grave was destroyed by the Xues, her body desecrated; then you should destroy the Xue’s ancestral graves rather than tornt yourself here. Have you forgotten your own steadfastness all along?”
Facing Ye Chenfeng, Xue Wanqing’s previously calm eyes showed a ripple upon hearing his words. She stared dazedly at Ye Chenfeng.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Xue Wanqing broke into tears, unable to hold back as they stread down her face. She sobbed, “Why? Why do this to ? Why to my mother? Even though I despaired of the Xues ti and again, deep down, I perhaps still held onto a sliver of impossible hope.”
“How could the Xues do this? They expelled my mother and back then, and now they’ve destroyed her grave and desecrated her remains. They completely shattered the last bit of hope I might have held in my heart.”
Seeing Xue Wanqing in tears, Ye Chenfeng pulled her into his embrace and said, “Have a good cry! Don’t keep the grief inside. At this year’s Tianxuan Grand Ceremony, I’ll ensure the Qingyue Sect shines brightly. After it’s over, we’ll desecrate the Xue’s ancestral graves together.”
In Ye Chenfeng’s warm embrace, Xue Wanqing felt a sense of warmth and safety, and gradually her tears stopped.
After leaving Ye Chenfeng’s embrace, Xue Wanqing felt much more stable emotionally. She took out a wooden box and placed her mother’s cremated remains in it.
With Ye Chenfeng’s help, she erected a new grave for her mother nearby.
Ye Chenfeng also paid respects to Xue Wanqing’s mother.
Kneeling before the newly carved tombstone, Xue Wanqing said, “Mother, rest assured, your daughter will make them pay for everything. It’s an insult to have your na in the Xue’s ancestral hall, so I can’t fulfill that for you, but I will make everyone in the Xues co to your grave to repent and apologize.”
In a corner at the top of the valley.
Two figures ticulously concealed their presence. These two were Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan, who had been watching Ye Chenfeng’s every move. After Ye Chenfeng left Bai Ling City, they had followed imdiately.
They possessed treasures for cloaking their presence, making it extrely difficult for Ye Chenfeng to detect them. Moreover, they were quite a distance away from him, enough that even Old White and Old Black couldn’t notice them under the treasure’s cover.
Jiang Caixuan remarked with discomfort, “I didn’t expect this little thief to be such a romantic.”
Wu Lingxiang awkwardly added, “That little thief is just a libertine.”
Since Ye Chenfeng had seen their bodies before and taken certain liberties, although neither of them had feelings for him, they inexplicably felt uneasy seeing him hold another woman.
Jiang Caixuan glanced at Wu Lingxiang, “What’s wrong? Is the Wu family’s fairy also moved?”
Wu Lingxiang retorted coldly, “I think it’s the Jiang family’s demoness who’s moved!”
The two exchanged a glance and then looked away simultaneously.
Within the valley.
After helping to erect a new grave for Xue Wanqing’s mother, Ye Chenfeng set up a concealing formation around the grave.
Ye Chenfeng and the others left the valley; Xue Wanqing had mostly recovered emotionally.
The Xue family is quite a distance from Bai Ling City.
According to the map obtained from Fla Heaven Valley, the small mysterious realm discovered jointly by the Xues and Fla Heaven Valley is neither near the Xues nor Fla Heaven Valley, but in a very desolate area. Ye Chenfeng wasn’t in a hurry to go there now.
When Ye Chenfeng and the others returned to the gates of Bai Ling City, they found Yun Rong and Xiao Yongzhan among others, waiting at the city gates.
Ye Chenfeng asked, “Elder brother, weren’t you having a al with the ten Pavilion Masters? Why are you here waiting for us?”
Yun Yutang eagerly chid in, “Old ancestor, having a al with those ten Pavilion Masters is sheer tornt, so we found an excuse to leave early. However, we happened to ntion that you need divine soul-type elixirs, and the ten Pavilion Masters promised to do their utmost to help you find so.”
Ye Chenfeng’s need for elixirs was ntioned by Yun Rong unintentionally. As for Ye Chenfeng being a Seventh Rank Alchemist, and the plan for Ye Chenfeng to bring the Ascension Elixir to the Tian Shun Auction House, Yun Rong didn’t reveal a word about it.
Yun Rong said, “Brother, I’ll head to the Tian Shun Auction House now! Even though I have so connections with the Auction House’s old ancestor, that old man is very shrewd, valuing profit highly. We should visit first and see.”
As Yun Rong and Ye Chenfeng headed to Bai Ling City’s Tian Shun Auction House,
In the number one room at Xiangmanlou,
Zhao Xingtu, Leng Zuolong, Liang Xiaoi, and the other ten vice Pavilion Masters had just finished enjoying the delicacies at Xiangmanlou.
Zhao Xingtu said, “Everyone, it seems our Pavilion Master truly needs divine soul-type elixirs. My Soul Wood Root was given to the Pavilion Master back then. We mustn’t disappoint him! We must gather as many high-grade elixirs as possible.”
Leng Zuolong frowned, “Old Zhao, collecting a large number of divine soul-type elixirs isn’t easy. Our Array Magic Pavilion has nothing to do with these spirit grasses!”
Zhao Xingtu also frowned, “That’s indeed a problem! Nevertheless, we must try our best.”
Beside them, Liang Xiaoi smiled, “Have you forgotten my identity? It shouldn’t be difficult for to collect such elixirs.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xingtu and the others’ eyes brightened. Leng Zuolong said, “I almost forgot, you’re the old man’s sister from Tian Shun Auction House.”
Few people knew that Liang Xiaoi was the sister of the Auction House’s old ancestor. Even within the Auction House, few were aware of this relationship, as many considered the old ancestor to be Liang Xiaoi’s brother. In truth, in terms of identity, Liang Xiaoi could also be considered an old ancestor of the Auction House.
Zhao Xingtu laughed, “Almost forgot about your identity, Old Liang. Now we’re sure to secure a vast amount of divine soul-type elixirs since you’re the Auction House old ancestor’s sister. But given these are for the Pavilion Master, I doubt you’ll charge him anything, right?”
Liang Xiaoi said, “Old Zhao, don’t say it like that. Since they’re for the Pavilion Master, I’ll decide. Whatever we gather from the Auction House will be given to him free of charge.”
Zhao Xingtu nodded, “Then, there’s no ti to waste, what are we waiting for? Let’s accompany Old Liang for this visit!”
It’s surprising that Liang Xiaoi has such a hidden connection with the Tian Shun Auction House.
