Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1193 - 698: You’re Blushing (Part 2)

Shi Feixuan instantly realized her choice of words was inappropriate, then said: "Feixuan absolutely doesn’t have those kinds of thoughts about you, Teacher."

This time, it was Sui Yi who appeared momentarily stunned, and after coming to her senses, she slowly said: "I just thought that since Shi Zhixuan had such a misunderstanding about me before, it’s not surprising that you would follow me, but it’s not to the point of harboring ill intentions... You’ve overthought this."

You’ve overthought this...

Shi Feixuan suddenly felt a sense of shame, yes, I overthought this...

But Teacher, why does what you say always lead to misunderstandings?~~

Shi Feixuan’s gaze rippled like water, and after several fluctuations, she lightly sighed: "Teacher, I’m afraid you also misunderstood this time. Feixuan followed you, not for Uncle Master Bi Xiuxin.... In fact, it’s possible that our Sect indeed has some hope for you, but Feixuan feels that you are absolutely not Uncle Master Bi Xiuxin."

"Sui Yi is Sui Yi, Bi Xiuxin is Bi Xiuxin."

If those people I met earlier... including Wang Tong and others, had a probing look in their eyes when they looked at her, then Shi Feixuan was probably the first among them to be firmly convinced of her true identity.

"Why?" Sui Yi asked without changing her expression.

Shi Feixuan thought for a moment and said: "Just a feeling."

A feeling...

Sui Yi looked at her deeply, and with a carefree laugh, "Then why are you following me?"

Alright, the question came back again.

Shi Feixuan was silent for a moment, then said: "Teacher absorbed the Evil Emperor’s Relic, showing signs of turning to evil and was later taken away by the Evil King... Feixuan found that mountain but feared the power beyond the Evil King, fearing he would harm you, Teacher, so I camped at the foot of the mountain until you left.... Seeing that you seemed unaffected by evil, Feixuan was unsure if you had expelled the evil nature, so I followed, the reason for not contacting you, Teacher, is because Feixuan hasn’t received an internal response from the Sect yet."

She paused, then said: "If there is indeed an evil nature left in you, Teacher, perhaps only He’s Jade in this world can help you, I’ve sent messages to the Sect by carrier pigeon, but without a reply, I dared not meet you, Teacher, lightly...."

To avoid becoming enemies if unable to assist later.

This is where Shi Feixuan shows her wisdom, yet her stubbornness can also be quite troubling.

Sui Yi thought, if the Cihang Calming Studio is unwilling to give up He’s Jade, this girl might find herself in a difficult position.

Though it’s unclear why she treats me nicely.

After some silence, Sui Yi said: "Indeed, my evil nature hasn’t been eradicated, but I don’t necessarily need He’s Jade at the moment..."

"If I make a move on He’s Jade, fear that many situations will change."

"This much, Feixuan, you should be aware of."

Shi Feixuan nodded: "Shi Zhixuan has already emerged, the Demon Sect’s momentum has peaked, and He’s Jade concerns the fate of the world, whoever possesses it can conquer the world, many want to claim it...."

Implying that the Demon Sect will definitely make a move.

If Sui Yi acts, the Demon Sect will act too, and by then, Sui Yi will either stand against the Demon Sect or against the righteous faction, having to contend with all the powerful ambitions seeking to dominate the world.

So Sui Yi came to Luoyang, yet isn’t hasty to head for the Jingnian Zen Temple.

She needs to determine whether to take this final step.

This is an unspoken understanding between Shi Feixuan and Sui Yi, so they soon ceased speaking further, and turning her gaze, Sui Yi looked down at that small segment of tail on the ground. It’s called a small segment because, for that Sea Demon, it was indeed a small part.

For ordinary people, however, it was enormous.

"I saw... it looked like a Snake Dragon," Shi Feixuan said with lingering fear, her face still carrying many levels of disbelief.

Sui Yi also glanced over, "Snake Dragon’s head, Scorpion’s tail, Snake’s body, Lizard’s claws—a unique environment breeds unique spirits... The waters of Central Plains Luoyang wouldn’t produce such a monster."

The feng shui of Luoyang is balanced and harmonious, being the location of the Dragon Vein, even if it nurtures a giant beast, it would never be such a dark and sinister terror.

Shi Feixuan agreed, nodding, "I think the more troublesome one is actually that Black-robed Man.... I’ve never seen someone possess such Beast Taming skills, even in the Western Regions, there’s no word of such a capable person. Did you previously hear him commanding that Sea Demon?"

"Mm."

Sui Yi squinted her eyes, gazing towards the vast river surface.

"It’s the language of Dongying.." Shi Feixuan exhaled a breath of refreshing air: "Dongming has held off Dongying for many years, and since Shong Ming is the Young Marshal of Dongming, it’s not impossible to imagine Dongying seeking revenge, but this scale is just too grand."

"Shong Ming? You think his target is Shong Ming?"

Sui Yi’s words surprised Shi Feixuan.

"You were on the river, you didn’t see the situation inside the pavilion, at the time, it appeared those people’s targets were Shong Ming of Dongming and that elder, but in fact, Shong Ming dodged extremely swiftly, had long evaded, leaving that elder behind, to be besieged by them."

This statement... seems to have deep implications.

Shi Feixuan composed her gaze and said: "This matter is indeed quite strange, previously when I followed you to Luoyang, I was thinking of returning to the Jingnian Zen Temple, but accidentally discovered some Dongying people appearing in the city, Dongying and our Central Plains have many hostilities, being foes, I worried they’d have some plan, so I tailed... followed to the riverbank, but saw no one, only sensing an intense fishy stench in the waters, very strange, so I took a small boat to patrol the river for traces... "

It was for this reason that Sui Yi saw Shi Feixuan on a small boat in the river.

However, Shi Feixuan’s account wasn’t just about this incident.

She looked at Sui Yi and then said: "Later on, I also found out that the Second Young Lord met with trouble, and coincidentally encountered Hou Xibai, so I had him monitor the situation during the birthday feast.... which led to such unpredictable circumstances later."

Speaking of Hou Xibai, this person is indeed a unique character, belonging to the Demon Sect but acting in a quite unconventional manner, assisting Shi Feixuan at every turn, not afraid of his Master’s reproach... However, the Flower Sect indeed severed ties with the Demon Sect a long time ago, their connection is merely nominal, yet the dispute between it and the Patch Heaven Sect has grown increasingly intense.
