“Are you… truly…?” Su Jinyue’s face turned pale as she spoke.
“Even if I am, now that you’ve revealed everything, isn’t the Spirit Sword Mountain doomed anyway?” Ye Wushuang replied with a sense of helplessness.
Stepping forward, Ye Wushuang patted Su Jinyue’s shoulder and said again, “Rest easy. I am not. I am merely Ye Wushuang of the Ye Clan from the Qingyun Empire, and nothing more.”
“But you must remember this: in the future, never reveal such secrets to others again.”
Su Jinyue immediately felt relieved and laughed, “Don’t worry, I’m not that foolish.”
“Not that foolish?”
For a moment, Ye Wushuang was at a loss for words.
The twelve elders of the Spirit Sword Pavilion were engaged in internal strife!
Su Chenyang and his two companions had taken people and left.
How intriguing!
Since ancient times, the human heart has been the most unpredictable of all.
Ye Wushuang never expected that, after his eighth reincarnation as Ling Shengtian, and after establishing the Spirit Sword Pavilion and painstakingly cultivating twelve individuals, nine of them would actually covet what he had left behind!
“Very well, very well indeed.”
Ye Wushuang sneered coldly, “You have quite the nerve.”
Beside him, Su Jinyue muttered, “I wasn’t exactly a coward to begin with…”
Ye Wushuang turned to Su Jinyue again and said, “Since the Soul-Parting Pearl is effective for your grandfather’s recovery, 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.
“You are at the seventh level of the Yuanfu Realm. It will be quite challenging for you to compete for the top seven spots. Focus on cultivating and improving yourself during this contest.”
Ye Wushuang spoke slowly, “As for why I am helping you… once I have obtained the Soul-Parting Pearl for you and you take it back to Spirit Sword Mountain, you will understand when you help me with something in return!”
Help with something?
What kind of help?
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it won’t be anything too difficult.”
For a moment, 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, 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, his former subordinate, Ye Wushuang treated her as a younger generation and did not want her to encounter any mishaps during the Hundred Nations Martial Contest.
Ye Wushuang instructed, “Your cultivation method was guided by your grandfather, wasn’t it? Su Chenyang’s path of cultivation is indeed formidable, but it has a flaw, and you have inherited this flaw…”
“When opening the spiritual meridians and condensing the Yuanfu, the flow of spiritual energy should not overly pursue the refinement of power. Speed is also important. Remember my words, and when it comes time to condense the Tiangang energy, it will be much simpler…”
Not overly pursue the refinement of power, but also pay attention to speed?
“Alright, 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 also helped her rescue her friend. 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, prioritize your own safety. 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 wasn’t until much later that Shui Wanrong approached, looking at her friend who was lost in a daze, and couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s wrong with you? Why did he leave?”
Su Jinyue said blankly, “He said… he would help me obtain the Soul-Parting Pearl!”
“Huh?”
Shui Wanrong looked in the direction where Ye Wushuang had left and couldn’t help but say, “What is Ye Wushuang’s background? He is brave and resourceful. Is he from one of the six major clans?”
“No, he is a genius from the Qingyun Empire.”
Seeing her friend’s distracted and forlorn look, Shui Wanrong couldn’t help but tease, “No way, you’ve only just met him. Have you already fallen for him?”
“Ah? What are you talking about! Wanrong, you’re being ridiculous!”
Su Jinyue’s pretty face immediately flushed with a rosy blush as 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, sighing, “This young man is quite handsome. I didn’t even have the chance to properly thank him…”
Handsome?
Ye Wushuang was indeed very handsome, elegant, and refined. The confidence he exuded at all times, and his composure in the face of danger…
He did not seem like a teenager, but rather like a reliable and steady elder brother or even a father figure.
Su Jinyue didn’t know what she was thinking for a moment, her cheeks flushed with a rosy glow, and she couldn’t help but smile.
Among the crowd, Zhu Yushu had seen everything and felt very uncomfortable inside.
On one side, Su Jinyue, Shui Wanrong, and Zhu Yushu, along with more than ten disciples from Spirit Sword Mountain, left together.
On the other side, Ye Wushuang returned alone.
The Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Blue-Scaled Beast were still fighting fiercely.
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 fearing the other!
Naturally, they had to determine a winner and a loser.
And Ye Wushuang did not return to the valley but went to the core territory of the Swallowing Flame Tiger…
