2087 Director
I personally saw it before. Chu Liuyue did not say this sentence.
Su Li’s expression doesn’t seem fake. What kind of amazing existence is she? Countless true gods and legendary warriors are willing to follow her. Since she has said so, it is most likely true. But if that is really the case, then… What’s with Big Baby?
Chu Liuyue remembered clearly that he reformed his Holy Body in the Red Moon Desert himself! Additionally, to save her, he even crafted the appearance of a child in a hurry.
To mention external forces… Big Baby used her blood at the last moment.
!!
However, Chu Liuyue did not take this matter to heart. From the three seniors’ reactions, they never wanted her help since the beginning. They planned to reform their Holy Bodies themselves!
This caused Chu Liuyue to think that everyone was the same. But after hearing Su Li’s words, she then realized that her understanding seemed to be wrong.
“Yue’er, Yue’er?” Su Li stretched her hand out and waved it in front of Chu Liuyue. “What are you thinking about?”
Chu Liuyue recovered her senses, and her lips curled up slightly. “Nothing much. Actually, I just heard these casually from other people. So it’s wrong… Then, Mr. Su, is there really nobody in the world who can do this?”
“You mean purely use their own force to reform their Holy Body?” Su Li did not see the strangeness in Chu Liuyue’s expression and just felt that she heard it wrongly, so she shook her head lightly. “I’ve never heard of such a thing before.”
Chu Liuyue looked down.
“However…” Su Li squinted slightly, as if she were in deep thought. “Perhaps an existence above legendary warriors can do this?”
Chu Liuyue looked up at her strangely. “An existence… above legendary warriors?”
“Yeah! However, such an existence only exists in legends—even Tang Ke and I have not seen them before. Oh right, I heard that you’re a student from Ling Xiao Academy?”
“Yes.”
“Someone said that the first director of Ling Xiao Academy was such a character. However, nobody personally verified it. After he disappeared unknowingly, the rumors related to him disappeared with the passing of time, so nobody talked about it.” Su Li shook her head in pity.
Yet. Chu Liuyue’s heart was in uproar! This means that Big Baby—
Seeing Chu Liuyue fall silent, Su Li thought that she was still worried about reforming her physical body, so she comforted the young lady. “Yue’er, you don’t actually have to be too worried. Even if you can’t succeed in the end, it’s fine. Even without a physical body, I’m already very satisfied with my soul around.”
Not to mention that she could still come out now and see the scenery and all sorts of people in the world. Personally, she already felt extremely lucky.
Chu Liuyue retracted her thoughts, having already restrained the emotions in her eyes. Then, she smiled. “No matter what, let’s try first.”
…
At Yue Manor.
Rong Xiu was holding a brush and writing something in the study.
Yu Mo walked in hurriedly. “Your Highness, there’s news from the Wei family.”
Rong Xiu did not stop his actions. “Say it.”
Yu Mo continued, “The Wei family’s elder, Wei Kehan, did go out alone once. Nobody knew where he went or what he did.”
“What about the Yi family?” Rong Xiu’s expression was calm, and his voice was nonchalant.
Yu Mo lowered his head. “The Yi family has been in a mess for a while, and it only stopped after Yi Wentao died. However, Yi Wentao exploded himself, and he lost to Madam at Peach Blossom Dock, so the Yi family felt humiliated and didn’t hold a grand memorial service. They just buried him casually. As for the Sharp-Edged Halberd… it did not cause much of an uproar.”
That was natural. After all, only a few people from the Yi family knew of the Sharp-Edged Halberd’s existence.
Rong Xiu smiled.”What’s there to bury if his body is destroyed, and his soul is gone? It’s just a ceremony. Jun Jiuqing’s ability to kill one to warn the rest is becoming increasingly well-versed.”
Yu Mo felt rather emotional. “No matter what, Yi Wentao used to be a formidable person in the Yi family. Over the past hundreds of years, nobody dared to say ‘no’ to him, yet he died in such a manner…”
“Used to be is still used to be.” Rong Xiu put his brush away, picked up the paper below his hands, and glanced at it.
Jun Jiuqing came to this position with much difficulty, so he would naturally take all chances to stabilize his base. Yi Wentao was just a stepping stone for him.
Originally, the people from the Yi family were very reluctant to stand by him, and quite a few of them were eyeing the position of the head of the family.
However, everything naturally calmed down with Yi Wentao’s death.
Everyone could tell that Yi Wentao’s death was related to Jun Jiuqing, but this was the result Jun Jiuqing wanted. Forcefully suppressing the powers was sometimes quicker and more effective than any gentle methods.
He paused. “Jun Jiuqing has always been a smart person.”
Yu Mo asked rather hesitantly, “Then… Your Highness, do you plan to let them work in kahoots?”
“Jun Jiuqing is determined to take the Yi family, and he even gave out the Sharp-Edged Halberd for this, to use the Wei family to lure me away. Since this is so, I’ll give him some face.”
Even though he didn’t care about the Sharp-Edged Halberd, it was not bad that he could take the chance to bring Tang Ke and Su Li out to add onto Yue’er’s formation.
“Wei Ze will still contact the Yi family later on. Just quietly watch what happens.”
Yu Mo immediately answered, “Yes!”
At this moment, someone walked in from outside—it was Yan Qing.
“Your Highness.” Once Yan Qing walked in, he kneeled and bowed with slightly knitted brows and a grave expression.
Yu Mo rarely saw such an expression, and his heart could not help but skip a beat. Did something happen?
Rong Xiu raised his chin. “You can just stand up and talk.”
Yan Qing then stood up and retrieved a letter from his arms as he boomed, “Your Highness, the Clan Leader has passed on. 36 Respected Elder Ming sent a letter back to ask you to go back immediately.”
When Yu Mo heard the first half of the sentence, he still didn’t quite process what was going on. But hearing the latter half, he immediately widened his eyes in shock and almost jumped. “The Clan Leader passed on?!”
This is too sudden!
However, Rong Xiu did not look shocked. He moved his long and white fingers, and the paper in his hands flew to Yan Qing. “This is the eulogy I wrote for the Clan Leader. Make a few copies of it and send it to the venerables.”
Yu Mo turned around in fright. When he came in, I saw His Highness writing something, but I never thought that it was the clan leader’s eulogy!
“Your Highness?! You already knew?!”
Yan Qing held the paper and instantly understood. He respectfully nodded. “Yes.”
Rong Xiu tilted his head and looked outside the window.
There were no clouds in the bright sky. “Today’s weather is not bad.”
...
It’s a good day to send someone off.
