Chapter 505: Chapter 214: Gentle Lady, Perfect Match for a Gentleman (Request for Monthly Votes) _2

"Great-grandfather, do you also have a connection with the Yuhua Immortal Sect?"

Zhou Tiance frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "I do not know, maybe they are connected with Wuliang Mountain."

Chen Yuan snorted softly and turned his head towards the entrance.

Before long, he saw six young people arriving together.

Four of them were his fellow prodigies from Wuliang Mountain, led by none other than Lou Yuchun’s legitimate son, Lou Wushan.

There were also two Daoists in the colorful robes of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, one male and one female.

"Junior Brother Chen Yuan, since we parted at Wuliang Mountain, I did not expect that when we met again, you would have inherited the title of Duke Jingye. Congratulations."

Lou Wushan had a well-proportioned figure and looked very much like Lou Yuchun, almost like a younger version of him.

He wore a Wuliang Mountain Daoist robe, with a horsetail whisk and a wine gourd hanging from his waist. His hair was not neatly done, tied up in a messy way.

Chen Yuan glanced at him and asked coldly, "Senior Brother Lou, did you just arrive at Kyoto Prefecture?"

"Sort of, we arrived yesterday."

Lou Wushan saluted Zhou Tiance with a smile and said, "Junior Brother, are you asking if I know about the matters within the sect?"

"You overthink it. Before my father left, he already transmitted to me the reason for sealing the mountain, instructing us to participate in the grand event and the selection on the Tianyuan Continent with peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, the three people beside him did not share his smile. They showed some discontent on their faces, evidently still resentful about Wuliang Mountain’s self-sealing.

Chen Yuan nodded noncommittally and said, "Guests are welcome, please come in."

"Thank you for the trouble."

With that, Lou Wushan still cheerfully led his fellow prodigies towards the middle courtyard.

The remaining two disciples of the Yuhua Immortal Sect followed behind. One of them congratulated Chen Yuan, then paused as he looked at Zhou Tiance.

"Old Marquis, I am Zhou Wu from the Yuhua Immortal Sect. Learning of the family’s happy event, I came uninvited and seek your forgiveness."

Zhou Tiance was about to say some polite words, but upon seeing those somewhat familiar eyes, his expression changed slightly, and he transmitted his voice saying:

"Why did you come? Nonsense!"

The visitor showed no change on his face, bypassing him as he walked towards the back while transmitting his voice, saying:

"Old Marquis, rest assured, I am just here to get a drink."

"You won’t mind, will you?"

Zhou Tiance maintained a wooden expression, his eyes showing a hint of bitterness, ignoring his words.

Chen Yuan seemed to notice his anomaly, "Great-grandfather, are those two a problem?"

"No, nothing."

Zhou Tiance hunched over, showing a fatigued expression, and said, "I’m getting old, and sometimes feel inadequate."

Chen Yuan looked at him for a moment, nodding to indicate Chen Ke to take him to rest.

"Leave this to me..."

After Zhou Tiance and Chen Ke left, Chen Yuan’s Sword Intent spread, covering the back interior courtyard.

After confirming that Gu Tiangang and the others had not clashed with the prodigies from Wuliang Mountain and Yuhua Immortal Sect, he finally relaxed.

Approaching noon.

As fewer and fewer people came to offer congratulations at the Zhou Residence, Chen Yuan’s heart grew tense once more.

"No one from the Duke Wu An Mansion... Is it that second brother is coming?"

...

Not far from the Duke Jingye Mansion, in the market district.

Chen Yi found a tavern to sit down alone, ordered a pot of wine, and picked two plates of side dishes.

At this moment, he had already changed into the purple robe symbolizing the Martial Marquis, wearing a waist tag, leisurely pouring and drinking himself.

The citizens of Kyoto Prefecture couldn’t help being cautious; his purple robe was indeed too intimidating.

Chen Yi paid no attention to the odd looks from the passing visitors, sipping his bland wine while waiting for the "demoness" to find him.

Originally, he planned to go straight to the Duke Jingye Mansion after leaving the Kyoto Academy, but after changing into the Martial Marquis Purple Robe, he received a sound transmission from Wen Renying.

Therefore, he had to let Chen Taiping return to the Chen Residence first, leaving only a coachman waiting.

"What can’t be communicated through sound transmission?"

Wen Renying rushed over while transmitting back, "Oh dear master~ It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that the matter is too significant, I dare not be careless~"

She wasn’t foolish. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Describing what was discovered last night through sound transmission was possible, but that way, she couldn’t get the reward from the master right away.

Especially after knowing that Black Impermanence Liao Ai’s Blood Core was in Chen Yi’s hands, she dared not delay for a moment, fearing that the Blood Core might disappear.

After all, it’s the Blood Core of a Divine Power Realm mighty figure, an invaluable material for refining pills or crafting magic artifacts.

If during this time, Chen Yi used it... Wen Renying would probably regret it enough to slap herself twice.

Before long.

Wen Renying hurried over with enchanting steps, and after a quick glance around, the fox tail concealed behind her emitted demon energy, dizzying those present.

"Sir, please be careful as well."

Chen Yi glanced at her and said, "Within a hundred miles around, no one will notice this place."

Wen Renying laughed charmingly as she admitted her mistake and stepped forward to sit opposite him.

"Sir, your magnificent posture last night was truly grand; even the Demon Court’s so-called pillars are no match for a single finger of yours~"

Chen Yi ignored her flattery, poured a cup of wine, and said calmly, "Speak directly, I have matters to attend to."

"Sir, you’re in such a rush. I..."

Before finishing her sentence, Wen Renying, seeing Chen Yi’s displeased expression, quickly changed her words:

"Last night, I made a major discovery and thus became a target for that demon."

Chen Yi withdrew his gaze, drank his wine, and said, "I dislike vagueness. If you want another wooden sword, cut to the chase."

Wen Renying unconsciously licked her lips, apparently recalling the power of that wooden sword from last night, her expression growing more alluring.

"Sir, let me tell you~"

With that, Wen Renying began to recount from the last time she parted with Chen Yi.

"After infiltrating the Zhao Family on Fengtong Street as instructed by you, I intended to control them but discovered that the Minister of Rites, Zhao Ruixiang, had left."

"I followed him all the way to the Zhou Residence at Duke Jingye’s Mansion."

"The Zhou Residence?" Chen Yi paused, "Are you certain?"

"I dare not deceive you, sir~" Wen Renying continued without waiting for him to ask further:

"The ’Black Impermanence’ impersonated Zhao Ruixiang on his visit to the Zhou Mansion to meet the Old Marquis Zhou."

"From their conversation, I learned for the first time that Zhao Xiangrui was actually portrayed by ’Black Impermanence’ Liao Ai, which startled me quite a bit."

"According to Liao Ai, it seems he wanted to persuade the Old Marquis to go against your brother and even handed a bottle of dan medicine to the Old Marquis."

"From what I know about the Demon Court, that bottle most likely contains sinister substances to control one’s mind and spirit."

"However, the Old Marquis seemed unwilling to do so, and later, after your brother arrived, Liao Ai left in a hurry..."

Control the mind?

Chen Yi sneered inwardly; that old fox is certainly relentless!

But the connection between that old fox and the Demon Court was deeper than he imagined, to the point that he could converse with ’Black Impermanence.’

"Anything else?"

"As I was about to leave, I discovered someone else coming to meet the Old Marquis Zhou."

Wen Renying patted her chest with a lingering fear, saying: "Can you guess who it was, Sir?"

Chen Yi gave her a glance, contemplating, "Was it someone from the ’Hidden Dragon,’ or the Bai Shen Sect?"

Wen Renying seemed surprised and said: "Sir, your foresight is peerless; I genuinely admire you~"

"The visitor was no other than the Sect Master of the Bai Shen Sect that I belong to!"

"Moreover, on my return journey, I encountered ’Black Impermanence’ Liao Ai, and from him, I learned that the name of this Sect Master is Zhou Guanwu!"

"Zhou Guanwu?"

Chen Yi froze for a moment, frowning at her and asked, "Did ’Black Impermanence’ say that himself?"

Earlier, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old also mentioned that Zhou Guanwu hadn’t died but never divulged his identity.

Now, hearing it from the "demoness," Chen Yi felt Zhou Guanwu was shrouded in many secrets.

It was as if an aura of mystery surrounded him, obscuring his view.

"Indeed~ This is absolutely true~"

Wen Renying leaned a bit closer, the noble figure beneath the black robe revealing a touch of rosy skin.

"Before ’Black Impermanence’ tried to kill me, I managed to stay engaged for a long time and learned this much."

Chen Yi pondered, then asked: "Why did it tell you these things?"

If Zhou Guanwu were the Sect Master of the Bai Shen Sect, it would be one of the biggest secrets of the Demon Court; even if ’Black Impermanence’ assumed Wen Renying was a dead person, it shouldn’t have said so.

Wen Renying paused, tilting her head: "I don’t know either."

"I merely told it that I’ve come to the Kyoto Prefecture to assassinate the ’Void Buddha.’"

"Additionally, I mentioned that it was an order from the Sect Master specifically to assassinate the Buddhists’ prodigy."

"Then ’Black Impermanence’ got somewhat irate, saying that it had long suspected Zhou Guanwu was untrustworthy, and claimed that the Fengyue Demon Emperor wrongly trusted a villain."

Assassinating a Buddhist prodigy, untrustworthy...

Chen Yi contemplated for a moment, then asked:

"Does this mean that the Demon Court had not instructed the Bai Shen Sect to assassinate the Buddhist prodigy, but rather it was the Sect Master of the Bai Shen Sect?"

"In other words, Zhou Guanwu himself requested it, which is why ’Black Impermanence’ became enraged?"

But, what connection exists among these events?
