Chapter 2147: Chapter 2147 Meeting Again
Xiao did not wish to attract attention, so he gave the disciples a stern look and promptly shut the door.
"Lingxi, it’s all a misunderstanding. Let me make it up to you! It truly is a misunderstanding!" Xiao tried to reassure Mu Lingxi over and over again.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun released his clone in invisible mode to learn Xiao’s Divine soul strength.
"Eh?" Xiao noticed the spatial ripple and turned his gaze toward Xin Hui.
"Divine Soul power is weak. Take action!" The clone informed Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun and his clone launched a Divine Soul attack together, aiming for Xiao’s Ocean of Consciousness.
Mu Lingxi turned pale in fear, thinking that Ye Liuyun was no match for Xiao.
By the time Xiao noticed Ye Liuyun’s Divine soul, it was already too late. Ye Liuyun and his clone jointly planted a Slaving Seal on him, enslaving him to Ye Liyun’s command.
Ye Liuyun proceeded to search his soul, learning the information he knew.
It turned out that Xiao was assigned for the sole purpose of monitoring Liang Xue. Indeed, Xin Hui had reported to him before her arrival.
Xiao was personally assigned to this post by Liang Xue’s master, Elder Qingyuan.
Simultaneously, Xiao was acquainted with many intermediate ninth-level martial practitioners and elders. With him around, it became much easier for Ye Liuyun to approach the others.
"Hehe, this guy is absolutely useful!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t expect to stumble upon such an opportunity. Luck fell on his side.
Mu Lingxi also did not expect Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul power could subdue a warrior like Xiao, who was in the intermediate ninth level.
"Is he truly at the primary seventh level" Mu Lingxi still doubted in her heart.
"Let’s go! Let’s return!" Ye Liuyun withdrew his clone and left Mu Lingxi’s room along with Xiao.
"Find out about the disappearance of the previous Saintess. Inform me as soon as you find out anything!" Before leaving, Ye Liuyun assigned a task to Mu Lingxi.
Walking along Xiao, Ye Liuyun could enter the inner part of the base without needing to show any token.
"Find me a token and bring it to me!" Ye Liuyun told Xiao to find him a token as he hurried off to Liang Xue’s residence.
As he approached Liang Xue’s residence, he encountered many experts with strong divine senses patrolling back and forth. The guarding was strict.
Ye Liuyun couldn’t release his Divine Sense to avoid being detected. So, he walked directly over to knock on the door.
“Saintess, I’ve retrieved the item!" Ye Liuyun spoke out in imitation of Xin Hui’s voice.
"Come in!" Liang Xue tried hard to suppress her excitement.
Unless Ye Liuyun showed himself, she couldn’t confirm whether it was him or Xin Hui.
Thus, when Ye Liuyun entered, she locked her sight on him but found no flaw.
After entering, Ye Liuyun instinctively closed the door behind him.
Once the door was closed, no one on the outside could pry anything inside with their Divine Sense.
Ye Liuyun sensed it and affirmed that the Divine Sense from outside was cut off once the door was closed.
He then whispered, "Is it safe here? Can I revert to my original form?"
Only then could Liang Xue verify it was Ye Liuyun. She was so delighted that she couldn’t talk and kept nodding her head.
Ye Liuyun’s appearance quickly returned to his normal self, and he spread his arms as he smiled at Liang Xue.
Liang Xue immediately dashed into Ye Liuyun’s arms, clutching him firmly and sobbing frantically.
"You must be exhausted! Having to wait for so long," Ye Liuyun soothed her, stroking her hair.
Liang Xue was overcome with emotion and could only shake her head. It took her some time to catch her breath before she could speak again.
“I’m fine. But you must have experienced a lot of hardship over the years, haven’t you?”
“I’m used to it!” Ye Liuyun replied nonchalantly. He sat down with Liang Xue and started chatting.
Most of their previous experiences had already been shared through Sound Transmission Talisman, so they didn’t have much else to catch up.
Ye Liuyun focused on the matter of the Saintess, telling Liang Xue to stay careful.
He gave Liang Xue a Concealcape, a set of gilded armour, and even taught her Phantom Illusion. These would help her to escape if there was any danger.
Moreover, he gave Liang Xue a lot of weapons, treasures, and resources to enhance her physical condition and Divine soul power. He wanted her to improve in all aspects.
He realized that the Fairy Clan had only helped Liang Xue enhance her level, but didn’t provide her with many treasures or weapons.
After Ye Liuyun’s reminder, Liang Xue started taking things seriously, "Hmm, if you hadn’t mentioned these, I wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual. Now that I think about it, it does seem a bit suspicious. My master wanted me to develop my bloodline and level. She never pays much attention to other aspects."
"Moreover, we weren’t close! It seems like she only cares about my level and the Fairy Clan’s bloodline."
"I can’t take you away yet. If you leave now, the Fairy Clan will attack me with full force. We’re not strong enough to fight them off. If that happens, even if we run away, there will be nowhere we can hide."
"So, you’ll have to endure for another while. You must remain vigilant during this time."
Ye Liuyun apologized to Liang Xue.
"Don’t say that. You’ve already put in so much effort coming here to meet. You’ve even managed to build up your power to this extent. I know you’ve suffered a lot over the years! It’s all because of me. I’ve held you back..."
Liang Xue’s expression was hurt as she apologised to Ye Liuyun.
If it weren’t for her, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t have to go through so much hardship and escalate his level.
Ye Liuyun cut Liang Xue off, "Alright, we’ve been husband and wife for so long now, there’s no need for formalities."
"Huff!" Upon hearing this, Liang Xue sighed, "What do you mean by long-time husband and wife? We spend more time apart than together!"
Liang Xue lamented their fate for a moment, but soon remembered to ask about the important issue, "Have you added any more lovers recently?"
"No!" Ye Liuyun replied instantly.
For Lin Luoyi and others, he had already told her about them via Sound Transmission Talisman. As for Feng Hongxue, she isn’t his woman yet, and what will happen after is still unknown.
"Good to hear your honesty!" Seeing Ye Liuyun’s nervousness, Liang Xue chuckled.
Ye Liuyun wasn’t in a rush to leave. He planned to spend a few more days with Liang Xue in the Fairy Clan base.
During his stay, Liang Xue temporarily ceased her cultivation to spend more time with Ye Liuyun. At the same time, she had some disciples gather intel about the Fairy Clan.
Xiao also gave a token to Ye Liuyun, though Ye Liuyun did not care where he got it from.
The Fairy Clan in these past few days, dispatched an elder as well as a dozen experts on their way to negotiate with Ye Liuyun.
Because Ye Liuyun had now expanded his territory on the Fairy Clan’s land, they couldn’t afford to sit back and do nothing.
Although every advance Ye Liuyun made was due to their aggressive provocation. Thus, Ye Liuyun was always on the right side.
The Fairy Clan was reluctant to go to war with Ye Liuyun, so they decided to initiate a negotiation with him.
Ye Liuyun sent Yu Xiaofeng as his representative in the negotiation.
Both parties were now in the negotiating stage, and with the situation still to be resolved, Ye Liuyun and Liang Xue had more time to spend with each other.
