“Wang Sheng, be good now. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”
“Mm!”
Ye Cong Xin smiled warmly as she patted Wang Sheng’s head. However, the moment she stepped out of the courtyard, the smile on her face vanished.
“System, what’s Wang Sheng’s current favorability score towards me?”
Ding! Wang Sheng’s current favorability is 40 points.
Ye Cong Xin’s lips twitched slightly.
She was not satisfied with the score, even though it was the best result she could achieve after exhausting all her efforts.
To be honest, she had plenty of complaints about the system.
In order to help Wang Sheng accept her quickly, she had, under the system’s persuasion, spent her Luck Value to exchange for a memory-cleansing skill for him, hoping to restore him to normal.As a result, while Wang Sheng’s condition did improve somewhat, he was still far from normal. At best, he could barely understand others’ words.
Ye Cong Xin felt cheated. Yet, she dared not demand the return of her Luck Value from the system. Swallowing the loss, she focused more on Wang Sheng, hoping to recoup her “investment” soon.
Lost in thought, she found herself unknowingly walking to the base of Lone Moon Peak. Suddenly, a voice called out from behind.
“Ye Cong Xin.”
Annoyance flashed in Ye Cong Xin’s eyes.
Within the Five Elements Dao Sect, only a handful of people dared to call her by name directly.
Without turning around, she knew exactly whose voice it was.
She wanted to ignore it, but other disciples nearby had noticed the commotion and were looking in their direction. Helplessly, she stopped, forcing a polite but fake smile as she greeted the person approaching her.
“Senior Sister Xiu, what brings you here?”
Xiu Luo didn’t answer immediately. Instead, her gaze shifted to where Ye Cong Xin had come from. “Did you just visit Wang Sheng again?”
“What does it matter to you?”
“I’m just curious.”
“Heh.”
Ye Cong Xin sneered coldly.
Xiu Luo didn’t press further. Instead, she handed over an invitation from her sleeve. “This is an invitation from Spirit Mountain for Master Qing Yan. Please deliver it to him.”
“An invitation from Spirit Mountain?”
Ye Cong Xin was taken aback. Suspicious, she accepted the invitation and checked it carefully. Sure enough, it bore the unique mark of the White Peacock Clan.
A flicker of calculation crossed her mind, and her smile grew more genuine. “Thank you, Senior Sister Xiu. I’ll make sure Master receives it.”
With that, she smiled faintly and climbed up Lone Moon Peak with the invitation in hand.
After some time, Zhang Jun popped out of nowhere, visibly worried. “Are you sure it’s okay to give her the invitation?”
Xiu Luo rolled her eyes. “Do you see anyone else on Lone Moon Peak besides Ye Cong Xin? Besides, the Sect Master only said to deliver the invitation to the peak, not who to give it to. Our task is done. Whatever happens next is not our concern.”
Zhang Jun thought about it and found her reasoning sound.
Moreover, when his master had given him the invitation, it hadn’t seemed particularly important.
Relieved, he grinned sheepishly. “Thank you again today, Senior Sister Xiu. How about I treat you to some spirit fruits?”
“No need,” Xiu Luo refused flatly. “Spar with me instead.”
“What? Spar again?”
“Just tell me if you agree or not.”
“Fine! Do I dare say no? My dear ancestor, please take it easy this time.”
“Stop whining. Let’s go.”
“Wait, slow down! Wait for me…”
…
After reaching the peak, Ye Cong Xin immediately opened the invitation and carefully read its contents.
What intrigued her the most was why Spirit Mountain had sent an invitation to Master Qing Yan.
After all, she had never heard of any connection between him and the White Peacock Clan.
By the time she finished reading, her expression was one of utter shock.
“System, didn’t you tell me that Quan Ye’s awakened bloodline was that of the Azure Dragon?”
Ding! Yes, Host.
Ye Cong Xin’s expression flickered uncertainly.
Everyone knew that unique things were the most valuable.
In a world where the Azure Dragon had long vanished, Quan Ye, possessing its bloodline, was undoubtedly the focus of the Demonic Race’s attention.
But now, a Fu Xi, a descendant even purer than Quan Ye, had appeared.
This revelation instantly made Quan Ye’s existence awkward and redundant.
“This won’t do. Quan Ye must know about this.”
Making up her mind, Ye Cong Xin took the invitation and went to find Quan Ye.
Lately, with Ye Cong Xin preoccupied with Wang Sheng, Quan Ye had regained his freedom. No longer hiding, he grimaced the moment he saw her approaching, recalling the terror of her “attention.”
“Little Junior Sister, what brings you here?”
In the past, Ye Cong Xin would have taken the chance to act pitiful, but today, she was in no mood for theatrics. “Fifth Senior Brother, take a look at this invitation.”
Quan Ye accepted it and his face turned pale as he read it.
The White Peacock Clan was hosting a banquet specifically for the Fu Xi and had even invited Master Qing Yan as a guest!
So, they hadn’t lied to him!?
A descendant of the Azure Dragon purer than him really existed!
A dull pain spread through Quan Ye’s chest, as if someone had punched him repeatedly in the heart.
“Fifth Senior Brother, did you already know about the Fu Xi?”
Ye Cong Xin excelled at reading expressions. From his reaction, she knew he was already aware, though he likely hadn’t wanted to believe it.
Quan Ye didn’t even register her words, consumed by the agony of his shattered confidence.
Though he had resisted his half-demon identity, learning he was an Azure Dragon descendant had eased that rejection.
He had worked hard to embrace his bloodline, only to be overshadowed by a lowly usurper. How could he accept this?
“Fifth Senior Brother? Fifth Senior Brother?”
Ye Cong Xin’s persistent calls dragged Quan Ye closer to the breaking point. Just as he was about to lose his temper, her next words startled him into calmness.
“Fifth Senior Brother, ever since the last Azure Dragon disappeared from the cultivation world a millennium ago, its bloodline has been on the verge of extinction. Even if there is a Fu Xi, it would be an old demon surviving for centuries. How could it be a newborn? I suspect this is a hoax.”
Quan Ye instinctively wanted to agree, but memories of what he had seen in the Green Hill Mountain stopped him. He closed his eyes painfully and squeezed out, “No, it’s not a hoax.”
If it were, why would the White Peacock Clan make such a grand gesture, sending invitations everywhere?
Ye Cong Xin’s eyes gleamed. Turning to the system, she demanded, “System, what’s going on? Isn’t Quan Ye supposed to be the only Azure Dragon descendant?”
When Quan Ye returned to the sect, the system had informed her about his awakened bloodline, causing his Luck Value to double. She had naturally assumed he was unique.
The system remained silent.
“System?”
“System, answer me.”
After several more calls with no response, Ye Cong Xin realized she had been duped by the system again.
Anger surged within her, and traces of frustration appeared on her face.
Quan Ye, misinterpreting her reaction as anger on his behalf, felt a mix of gratitude and embarrassment.
He didn’t want anyone, especially her, to see him in such a pitiful state.
Especially not regarding something so personal… Wait. Something wasn’t right.
Quan Ye’s eyes sharpened with suspicion.
“Little Junior Sister, how did you learn about my identity?”
