Chapter 271.1– Grandmaster

“You two came to the Hua Dynasty, yet Youyu failed to receive you properly...” Beiming Youyu looked back and forth between the other two Grandmasters, “However, you two seem to have some complaints regarding my juniors, or else you wouldn’t be so angry, to the point that you made people outside panic...”

The auras from the several exchanges just now must have startled the martial practitioners stationed outside the forest, making them think that something must have happened that led to Grandmasters fighting, feeling uneasy.

Xue Qilin guessed so.

“Fox [1], you are as polite as ever. I think –” Jia Lan has a straight look on her face, “It’s really annoying.”

“They hit my Silversoul.”

I can’t let this slide, I seek justice — Xue Qilin feels like she can hear Cang Lin’s unfinished words.

Beiming Youyu narrowed her eyes and gazed at Cang Lin.

“I see. Cang Lin, you always regard Silversoul as a treasure. However, is it injured?”

“...”

Cang Lin answered after a short silence, “I won’t let anyone to hurt Silversoul.”

She means that “she won’t let anyone get away with hurting the silver wolf”.

“Cang Lin, since you cherish it so much, then why do you let it run around?” Beiming Youyu revealed a humored expression, as if she heard something ridiculous, “Besides, don’t you think you’re being laughable? If someone steps on your foot, do they have to atone with their death? It’s a bit far fetched for you to use this as an excuse.”

After the conclusion, she turned to Jia Lan. fre ewebnovel.com

“And you’re even more ridiculous.”

“Oh, what’s so ridiculous about me?” Jia Lan asked back, expressionless.

“What do you think? Although there may be nothing wrong, but a busy body will always find an excuse.” Beiming Youyu sneered, “Jia Lan, don’t you think you’re really annoying?”

“Oh, that’s true. Jia Lan was rude.” Jia Lan issued a “ha” laugh, “But fox, you’re also really annoying, always spoiling my mood. Did you know? There’s nothing more impolite than to spoil other people’s fun.”

Beiming Youyu retorted in a neutral tone, “This doesn’t include ‘Asura’er’, right?”

Since their first encounter, Xue Qilin hasn’t seen such an unrelenting Beiming Youyu for a long time. She almost forgot that the other party still has such a side to her.

“Fox, are you tired of living?”

The smile Jia Lan just revealed was immediately replaced by a cold look. In a rare fashion, she spoke in a slightly sullen tone.

“I am tired of living, what about it?”

Beiming Youyu’s face showed the shade of disdain, yet Jia Lan smiled in return.

“Don’t be conceited. If it was only me, that would be one thing, but the Northern Kingdom’s wolf [2] is also here. We don’t mind joining hands to teach you a lesson.”

Jia Lan tilted her head sweetly.

“Or do you think you can fight us one-on-two?”

Beiming Youyu threw a question at Cang Lin in response to Jia Lan’s unreasonable question, “Cang Lin, are you going to join hands with Jia Lan?”

“Might as well.”

Cang Lin answered quickly and without hesitation.

If they can get rid of Beiming Youyu, it will be of great benefit to the Northern Kingdom and the Western Regions as well as of great detriment to the Hua Dynasty.

Grandmasters are known as “one man army”. As the name suggests, they can contend against an army by themselves. Moreover, since Grandmasters are just a unit, their mobility and unpredictability are far above those of an army. They possess great strategic value. According to Xue Qilin, their deterrent power is not inferior to that of modern nuclear weapons.

If a state’s Grandmaster can be removed, the other two states will be able to eliminate the hidden dangers and gain strategic opportunities.

As Bei Xiaolu said, both the Northern Kingdom and the Western Regions are poor in resources, while the Zhongyuan [3] lands where the Hua Dynasty is located are rich in resources and have the materials they lack most. Therefore, the Hua Dynasty naturally became a big piece of meat in their eyes as well as their first choice for invasion.

On the other hand, the Northern Kingdom and the Western Regions are slightly weaker than the Hua Dynasty and are in the “if one falls the others will be in danger” state. If one of the two goes to war with the Hua Dynasty, it will be a bitter war. As a result, they aren’t willing to be enemies with the Hua Dynasty.

Of course, if they form an alliance, then the Hua Dynasty will lose its advantage of strength. However, the Western Regions are in a state of civil unrest and basically cannot reach a consensus on the alliance. Naturally, the Hua Dynasty has a hand in their unrest.

Having said that, if the Hua Dynasty takes the lead and starts a war against the Western Regions, the Western Regions will certainly unite and form an alliance with the Northern Kingdom, leaving the Hua Dynasty to suffer the consequences of its actions.

To put it bluntly, the balance between the three states is very fragile and can collapse at any time. For example, if the Hua Dynasty were to lose its Grandmaster, the Western Regions’ kingdoms will think that the odds of victory have increased and will unite once more, even form an alliance with the Northern Kingdom, and start a war.

It seems that this moment has become a critical moment related to peace and prosperity in the region.

Although Xue Qilin doesn’t share the noble sentiment of caring for ones country and people, but if because of her Beiming Youyu dies at the hands of the other two Grandmasters and it leads to war, she will fell guilty nonetheless.

So she asked uneasily, “Little Fish, is it really okay? If you –”

Beiming Youyu stopped Xue Qilin from continuing to speak.

“There is some history between I and old man Qi... he helped me out in the past. I will definitely save you.”

Beiming Youyu told her decision nonchalantly.

“Er, but...”

“Don’t worry, I already made preparations. Although I won’t be able to defeat them, but I should be able to make them retreat.” Beiming Youyu showed a shallow smile, “Just like you trust me, you have to trust me on this one, as well.”

Xue Qilin was stunned when she heard the request.

Seeing as she’s so adamant, what else is there to say? Xue Qilin bitterly wrinkled her nose, and then asked with a sigh, “What should we do?”

“Senior Beiming, how can this old one and the little one be of help?”

Xue Qilin and Bei Xiaolu asked in rapport.

“Stand still.”

Beiming Youyu gave a brief instruction, and then raised her right hand to in front of her.

“– Jade Moon.”

In response to the call, thick, cloud like mist ejected from her palm. The mist stretched out and outlined the shape of a long bow. Then, Beiming Youyu gripped tightly with her hand, and the mist was blown away. Instead of the mist, she is gripping a long white bow covered with golden lines.

It’s the spirit bow Jade Moon.

“Beiming Youyu, forgive my lack of manners, but do you really want to be our enemy?”

Seeing Beiming Youyu assume a ready to fight posture, Jia Lan blinked in surprise. Cang Lin seems to be surprised, as well.

They must have thought that them threatening to join hands would be enough to make Beiming Youyu retreat. However, Beiming Youyu went against their wishful thinking.

As a result, they became a little confused and looked at each other. They can see wondering whether or not Beiming Youyu has something to rely on or not in each other’s eyes.

“Anyhow, you two haven’t seen my domain yet, have you?” Beiming Youyu looked down, “One of you has the strongest domain, which can turn anything within its scope still. The other one has the most abnormal domain, which can be stored in the skin and transform the skin into the strongest shield. And although my domain is powerful, but it takes a certain amount of time to set up and can’t be used at will, which has a lot of inconvenience. However, once I am given time to completely set it up and manifest it, my domain won’t be inferior to yours.”
