“Are you… truly…” Su Jinyue’s face turned pale as she spoke.
“Even if I were, now that you’ve revealed everything, wouldn’t the Spirit Sword Mountain be doomed anyway?” Ye Wushuang replied with a sense of helplessness.
Stepping forward, she patted Su Jinyue’s shoulder and continued, “Rest easy, I am not. I am merely Ye Wushuang of the Ye Clan from the Azure Cloud Empire, and nothing more.”
“But you must remember, in the future, you must never speak of such secrets to others.”
Su Jinyue immediately felt relieved and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m not that foolish.”
“Foolish?”
For a moment, Ye Wushuang was at a loss for words.
The twelve elders of the Spirit Sword Pavilion were embroiled in internal strife!
Su Chenyang and two others had taken their followers and left.
How interesting!
Since ancient times, the human heart has been the most unpredictable of all.
Ye Wushuang never expected that, in her eighth reincarnation as the Sage of the Spirit, having established the Spirit Sword Pavilion and painstakingly nurtured twelve individuals, nine of them would covet what she had left behind!
“Very well, very well indeed.”
Ye Wushuang sneered coldly, “They truly have the audacity.”
Beside her, Su Jinyue muttered, “I wasn’t exactly timid to begin with…”
Ye Wushuang turned to Su Jinyue again and said, “Since the Soul-Parting Pearl is effective in healing your grandfather’s injuries, I will help you obtain it during the Hundred Nations Martial Contest.”
“Me? Help you? Why?” Su Jinyue’s large eyes were filled with disbelief.
“At your current level of the Seventh Rank of the Elemental Palace, it will be quite challenging to compete for the top seven spots. For this contest, you should focus on improving and refining your skills.”
Ye Wushuang spoke slowly, “As for why I am helping you… once I help you obtain the Soul-Parting Pearl and you bring it back to Spirit Sword Mountain, you will understand when you return the favor for me!”
Return a favor?
What kind of favor?
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Rest assured, it won’t be anything too difficult.”
Su Jinyue’s large eyes twinkled as she looked at Ye Wushuang and couldn’t help but say, “Ye Wushuang, you are truly a good person.”
“…”
“Remember, you must never speak of this to anyone else in the future. Otherwise, Spirit Sword Mountain will truly face the danger of annihilation, and your grandfather and your family will be killed. Do you understand?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Knowing that Su Jinyue was the granddaughter of Su Chenyang, her former subordinate, Ye Wushuang regarded her as a junior and did not wish for her to encounter any mishaps during the Hundred Nations Martial Contest.
Ye Wushuang instructed, “Your cultivation method was guided by your grandfather, right? Su Chenyang’s path of cultivation is indeed formidable, but it has a flaw, and you have inherited this flaw…”
“When you open the spiritual meridians and condense the elemental palace, the flow of spiritual energy should not overly focus on refining power; speed is also important. Remember my words, and when it comes time to condense the Heavenly Gang energy, it will be much simpler…”
Not overly refine power, but also pay attention to speed?
“Well, I must be on my way now.”
“Where are you going?” Su Jinyue felt a pang of reluctance.
Ye Wushuang had saved her twice and even helped her save her friends. She truly believed Ye Wushuang was a good person, someone worthy of trust.
“To earn spirit points and secure the first place, to surpass the first among the last six!”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “I have always preferred to act alone. Since you have found your friends, you should stay with them.”
“Remember, your safety comes first. I will help you obtain the Soul-Parting Pearl. I am a person of my word!”
Ye Wushuang’s figure quickly disappeared from Su Jinyue’s sight.
“Hey!”
It took a while before Shui Wanrong approached, seeing her friend in a daze, and couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s wrong with you? Why did he leave?”
Su Jinyue stared blankly and said, “He said… he would help me obtain the Soul-Parting Pearl!”
“Huh?”
Shui Wanrong looked in the direction Ye Wushuang had left and couldn’t help but say, “Who exactly is this Ye Wushuang? Brave and resourceful, is he a disciple of the Six Sects?”
“No, he is a genius from the Azure Cloud Empire.”
Seeing her friend’s dazed expression, Shui Wanrong teased, “No way, you’ve only just met him, and you’ve already fallen for him?”
“What? What are you talking about! Wanrong, you’re being ridiculous!”
Su Jinyue’s face immediately flushed with a hint of red, and she scolded, “How could that be…”
“If it’s not possible, then let’s hurry up and leave. Miss Su, this place is not safe.”
Shui Wanrong pulled Su Jinyue towards the group of more than ten disciples and sighed, “This young man is quite handsome. I didn’t even get a chance to properly thank him…”
Handsome?
Ye Wushuang was indeed very handsome, with a refined and elegant demeanor. The confidence he exuded, his composure in the face of danger…
He didn’t seem like a teenager at all, but rather like a reliable and steady elder brother or father figure.
Su Jinyue didn’t know what she was thinking, but her cheeks flushed, and she couldn’t help but smile.
Among the crowd, Zhu Yushu had seen everything, and he felt very uncomfortable inside.
On one side, Su Jinyue, Shui Wanrong, and Zhu Yushu led more than ten disciples of Spirit Sword Mountain and left together.
On the other side, Ye Wushuang returned alone.
The Blazing Flame Tiger and the Azure Scaled Beast were still locked in fierce combat.
This was not only about the ownership of a unicorn foal but also a matter of the dignity of two dominant beasts.
Whoever retreated would be seen as afraid of the other!
Naturally, they had to determine a winner.
And Ye Wushuang did not return to the valley but made his way to the core territory of the Blazing Flame Tiger…
