Chapter 129: She Saw Through Him (1)
A long time after leaving the Xunguan secret place, Ye Yu hadn’t seen Xuan Yi.
Ye Yu was really ill at ease with what happened in the secret place and what Xuan Yi had last said to her. Therefore, before considering this, Ye Yu was happy that they weren’t going to meet with one another.
Just like this, a month had passed and Ye Yu finally noticed what was wrong.
——
According to the convention during the time before entering the Xunguan secret place, Xuan Yi almost found an excuse every day to appear by her side. But after they left the place this time, not only didn’t he come to find her, but it felt like he was avoiding her.
The most obvious point was that Ye Yu could hear the infatuous juniors talk about how their senior had appeared on the cultivation grounds or how he had taught a disciple some new skills… but she had never seen Xuan Yi.
“Ugh. Is he angry?”
There was a stream on the Sect’s Mountain and the bored Ye Yu was sitting on the round stone, drinking some water from the stream while chatting with the system.
The system hesitated before answering truthfully, “Host, I don’t know either.”
“…”
Ye Yu originally didn’t expect for the system to give some constructive opinion anyway, so she let it go after hearing the response.
She was about to stand up and jump down the round stone and leave when she vaguely heard two voices slowly coming over from the forest.
“…Although these forces can’t be compared to our Jian Sect, at the very least, they had set their foundation in the immortal world for about a century or so, right? How could they easily betray and escape? Is your news accurate?”
“Of course it’s accurate. The sect had sealed the information and no one knows. But outside the sect, the news has been spreading like wildfire and it’s all people could discuss. All these cultivators and sects had suddenly betrayed and invaded the devil world. Clearly, someone is behind this and before they exposed themselves, all the major sects didn’t even know about this.”
“Right. It’s quite frightening now that I think about it…”
“…”
As the two of them walked far away, the words had faded in Ye Yu’s ears.
A grave look replaced her lazy look from before and she subconsciously glanced at the Jian Sect.
“He already started his revenge plan?”
The system was shocked as well, asking. “Even to now, there were no warnings. It seems like Xuan Yi’s revenge plan is going successfully. If it deviated strongly, there will probably be a mission, right?”
Ye Yu knitted her eyebrows and walked down the mountain, saying, “Don’t jinx it.”
“What is the host going to do?”
“…What else can I do? Xuan Yi clearly wants to hide this from me. Since he won’t tell me, I have no choice but to find the know-it-all senior Zhang Huan to get some news.”
An hour later.
At the corner of the trade market, there was a male disciple in disguise sitting in front of the wooden table in front of Zhang Huan’s stall.
“That many forces were involved and they’re working together?”
Hearing Zhang Huan reciting the battlefield situation in the immortal-devil world, Ye Yu knitted her eyebrows tightly and siad, “It seems like something big will happen in the devil city.”
“Not just big.” Zhang Huan gasped in a soft voice and said, “Junior sister, you don’t know but the devil regions near the devil city were all implicated in this war. They’re awfully busy with the war. I think that the young devil Emperor had long prepared for this and coincidentally, the regent, Xuan Bin, isn’t in the devil city either. Now that all these immortal world’s forces had betrayed their party, the trusted troops were off guard…”
