Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

Chapter 414: Chapter 412: A Mere Maid, the Soul Body Sees Through Everything

’The Holy Land has plenty of Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster experts. If they come for revenge, I might not be able to escape!’

’A direct confrontation isn’t a good option either. I don’t know the full situation with this Shui’er. She could be huge trouble. When the time comes, I won’t be able to keep her, but I won’t be able to just get rid of her either!’

’The best thing to do is to scare her off and make her leave the Cyan Yuan Sect on her own. Getting rid of this source of trouble that way is the safest approach!’

Yang Chan sat, pondering a solution in his mind.

Upon learning she was injured, Yang Chan’s first reaction was to kill her to tie up loose ends and make her disappear. However, he quickly discarded the idea. A murder would ultimately leave traces, especially since he didn’t know if she had left any clues for the faction backing her.

As far as Yang Chan knew, the Cyan Yuan Sect had a special method of contact, which was also a way to find fellow sect members.

If Shui’er had also left behind such a method, those who tracked her here would not have a low Cultivation. They would be at least Inner Masters, and possibly even Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters.

If they couldn’t find a trace of Shui’er, they would very likely take action against the Cyan Yuan Sect.

Killing Shui’er now would just be planting the seeds of a future disaster.

Yang Chan had no great feud with Shui’er, so there was naturally no need to go that far.

But he also couldn’t let her remain in the Cyan Yuan Sect. She was a ticking time bomb, one potentially even more dangerous than Princess Lan Yue.

Furthermore, she was someone he couldn’t control. It was best to get rid of such a thing and keep it far, far away.

Besides, he had many secrets of his own and already had the trouble of Princess Lan Yue to deal with. He certainly couldn’t allow another problem to get close. Otherwise, it could trigger a domino effect, and the future repercussions might be far greater than he anticipated.

He had to drive this person out of the Cyan Yuan Sect quickly.

Doing it with his identity concealed would be the best choice; otherwise, it would still lead to trouble.

"Pharmacist Yang, is there anything else you need?"

While Yang Chan was thinking, Princess Lan Yue came into the study again, her eyes full of surprise.

Just a moment ago, Yang Chan had told her to leave the study, but now he was calling her back. Could it be that...

"I want you to stay here tonight. Don’t go back!"

Yang Chan said slowly, looking at Princess Lan Yue.

’Stay here? He wants me to stay here!’

Princess Lan Yue’s eyes widened when she heard this. She never expected such an outcome.

’She had harbored such intentions before, but her many attempts had proven fruitless. She had started to think that Yang Chan just wasn’t interested in her type.’

’Everyone has different tastes, so naturally, their standards are different too.’

’She had been wondering what kind of clothes she should wear and how she should dress up to achieve her goal the next time she saw Yang Chan, but she’d unexpectedly succeeded without even trying.’

’See? She knew she had mastered the contents of those romance booklets perfectly. How could they not have an effect?’

’The effects just weren’t immediate; they’ve been building up until now.’

’Or maybe Yang Chan is just slow on the uptake and is only now reacting.’

But for her, this was good news.

’Now that her goal was achieved, her safety was that much more secure.’

’Based on her observations of Yang Chan these past few days, he treated his own people very well.’

’As long as she became one of Yang Chan’s people, she wouldn’t have to worry about her safety anymore. She might even be able to follow him to the Merak Sacred Land.’

’Both Yang Chan’s Talent and the spot in the Merak Sacred Land were things she needed.’

As for paying a certain price, that was naturally within the range of what Princess Lan Yue was willing to accept.

’Yang Chan was even a little younger than she was.’

"Of course. I’ll do whatever you say, Pharmacist Yang!"

Princess Lan Yue nodded slightly and then spoke in a low voice.

’She didn’t play hard to get. Based on her understanding of Yang Chan, if she did, he would likely assume she was refusing and send her away again. That wasn’t out of the question.’

"Good. Tonight, you’ll stay in my room. Don’t go out!"

"Also, I need to borrow something from you."

Yang Chan needed something to hide his identity. Under normal circumstances, the items he had on hand would have been sufficient.

However, considering Shui’er’s Cultivation and the possibility that she had other abilities, it would be bad if she saw through his disguise.

Something Princess Lan Yue possessed was more than enough to help him solve this problem.

"If Pharmacist Yang wants to borrow it, I will naturally agree!"

Princess Lan Yue’s tone became delicate and weak upon hearing his words.

’She knew that men liked fragile women, so naturally, she had to put on such a performance now.’

"Lend me the Thousand Faces you have. There’s a problem I need to solve with a different identity, or it might affect both of us!"

"There’s an expert hiding in the Cyan Yuan Sect, possibly connected to another Holy Land. It could attract a lot of trouble, so I have to drive this person out!"

Yang Chan was pleased by her response and explained some of the situation to Princess Lan Yue.

Many people could get caught in the crossfire this time, and it would ultimately affect him. If he didn’t handle it, the situation could become even worse.

If he hadn’t noticed, there’d be nothing to do about it. But now that he knew where the trouble was, he couldn’t let it remain. Otherwise, when this problem blew up, he would likely be the first one caught in the blast.

Even if he remained safe, the fact that he was hiding his true Cultivation would be exposed, and that was not something Yang Chan wanted to see happen.

"Ah! That’s it? No, I mean, Pharmacist Yang is going to do that? No, I mean, so the Cyan Yuan Sect is this dangerous right now!"

Princess Lan Yue’s eyes widened. After she processed what he’d said, she spoke in a hurry, her words becoming more and more jumbled until she finally managed to salvage the conversation.

’She finally understood. Yang Chan had asked her to stay to prevent anyone from seeing her real appearance, which would make it easier for him to borrow the Thousand-Faced Treasure Artifact.’

’She knew Yang Chan was hiding his Cultivation. For him to be this wary, the person must be an expert at the Inner Refining Grandmaster Level. If they were any stronger, she estimated Yang Chan wouldn’t be thinking of taking action, but of running for his life. Since Yang Chan was choosing to act, he must be quite confident. He just didn’t want to expose his identity, so he was borrowing her Thousand-Faced Treasure Artifact to completely change his appearance and aura, becoming a new person. He would use a new identity to solve the trouble within the Cyan Yuan Sect.’

After realizing all this, Princess Lan Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
