The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1275: Chapter 380: Sister Yu Yan, She’s Always Been Following You (6k)

Shen Yunzhou felt a sharp, piercing pain in his head, making him completely dazed.

In a blur, he seemed to see the elder who fought against his sister at Wuxiang Mountain suddenly appearing beside his bed.

Then he looked down at him with a playful expression.

"Little yellow hair, sleeping?" The elder grinned, showing a mouth full of yellow teeth and bad breath.

Shen Yunzhou’s hair stood on end with fear, just about to retaliate, but saw the elder’s skeletal finger already pointing at his brow.

In an instant, a surge of intense pain engulfed his body—

"Ah!!"

He screamed, his whole body immediately bouncing up from the bed.

His hands instinctively formed a sealing gesture, and with a sudden burst his realm unfolded: "One of the realms, a thousand..."

The final word "li" got stuck in his throat, only then did he see the scene in the room clearly.

Ghost Mastiff leaned on the table with arms crossed, a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You sleep well," Ghost Mastiff raised an eyebrow.

Shen Yunzhou awkwardly withdrew his realm, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "Saw a ghost, this dream was too real..."

He flipped out of bed, awkwardly approaching, taking out over a dozen top-grade Spirit Stones from his storage bag and handing them over, "Uh... about what just happened, don’t mention it to anyone."

Ghost Mastiff leisurely pocketed the Spirit Stones: "Relax, everyone knows Ghost Mastiff is famous for keeping secrets."

"Brother Ghost, you’re righteous!" Shen Yunzhou sighed in relief, but saw Ghost Mastiff suddenly lean closer, lowering his voice, "Speaking of which, when that elder attacked you, you really had no reaction?"

"Hey, he was Spirit Slash Great Perfection... wait!" Shen Yunzhou’s eyes widened abruptly, "How do you know it was that elder?!"

"Everyone knows," Ghost Mastiff blinked innocently, "it was my junior brother who saved you."

"Then why did you just...!" Shen Yunzhou stomping in anger, "Give back my Spirit Stones!"

Ghost Mastiff remained unchanged: "What Spirit Stones?"

"Ugh, you shameless!"

...

In the elegant room, the aroma of tea lingered.

Lu Yaoyao cautiously added tea for Shen Hanyi, then glanced at her father squatting like a sulking nut in the corner.

She sighed inwardly, her gaze shifting between the two silent individuals.

Then, she gently coughed to break the silence: "Sister Shen, rest assured, since the poison is neutralized, Brother Shen should awaken soon."

Shen Hanyi slightly nodded, her hands grasping the elder’s storage bag, exploring meticulously with her Divine Sense.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing’s guilty glance occasionally flickered towards her.

Especially the unchanged tag above her head, [Destined Person], caused him to frown slightly.

This tag appeared when she first led him and Lu to Kunpeng Palace to decipher the Six-Color Restriction entrance.

Whether it was what happened with her, his promotion to Fourth-level Array Master,

or receiving the Inscription Level Divine Techniques "bestowed" by Senior One, originating from her...

These series of major events that could change anyone’s opinion didn’t cause her attitude to waver at all.

This is truly unbelievable.

Does she actually have such stable mentality?

Yet, thinking from another angle, it proves from the side that she really doesn’t harbor any killing intent towards him.

Otherwise, with her personality, the tag would have long changed into [Scoundrel] or even more terrifying [Dead Man].

"Destined Person, huh—" Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

"Rest assured," Shen Hanyi suddenly spoke, her cool voice breaking the silence.

"The people from Blood Contract Pavilion I killed, Zhao Muye and Yama personally saw it, it’s unrelated to you and Taiqing Sect."

Only then did Zhou Qing realize she was speaking to him, quickly replying: "It’s fine. By the way, is this Blood Contract Pavilion... very strong?"

Lu Yaoyao also cast a curious glance.

Shen Hanyi continued to move her hands, and in a rare explanation, said: "Blood Contract Pavilion is a notorious assassin organization in the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty. As long as the price is met, even the Emperor dares to hire them."

"The Emperor of a Fifth-level Cultivation Country?!" Lu Yaoyao exclaimed.

Zhou Qing’s pupils shrunk, his heart astounded.

The strength of an Emperor governing a Fifth-level Cultivation Country is unimaginable, is Blood Contract Pavilion really so terrifying?

At that moment, Shen Hanyi retrieved a silver diamond-shaped badge from the storage bag, engraved with the number "47", edged with blood patterns.

"Blood Contract Pavilion assassins have no names, only numbers." She lightly ran her fingers over the badge, "divided into gold, silver, and bronze levels, this is silver badge number 47."

"Spirit Slash Great Perfection... is merely a silver badge?" Zhou Qing’s voice tightened, such a terrifying person only ranks number 47?

How powerful must the golden badge be, and how many such people exist?

"Rest assured," Shen Hanyi flicked her fingers, dissipating the remaining Divine Sense from the silver badge, her voice icy like frost.

"Blood Contract Pavilion is stringent with their rules. Task failure means failure; there’s no ’hit young, old comes’ kind of martial arts trick."

She put the badge back into the storage bag, continuing, "According to their rules, after task annulment, the deposit will fully be refunded to the employer. To place another order, reevaluation of the target’s strength is required."

Zhou Qing furrowed his brow tightly: "So... your third aunt’s side will continue sending people?"

"Hmm." Shen Hanyi nodded lightly, her veil slightly moving, "When this matter concludes, I will handle it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao unconsciously twisted the fabric of her clothes, her eyes filled with worry.

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, hesitatingly said: "Honestly, my side isn’t urgent, you could totally..."

"Once I’ve decided, I won’t change easily!" Shen Hanyi directly interrupted Zhou Qing.

Seeing Zhou Qing still wanting to speak, she swiftly changed the subject: "Xuanyuan Shuo said he didn’t kill Peng Emperor, is that true?"

Since persuading was futile and determined to protect him, Zhou Qing felt it inappropriate to continue speaking.
