Chapter 1014 This is my Plan!
Ji Yuan grinned to the 4 maidens, "So what do you think of my plan?"
Tang Manni quietly looked at Ji Yuan, "Is it going to be dangerous? How are you going to weed out the spies for the Cardinal Priestess? Do you have a plan?"
Juan Xian'Er was also curiously looking at Ji Yuan, "Yeah. What's your plan? How do you know which elders are actually spies?"
Xuan Qiaoqiao had also cast Ji Yuan a curious look and she was pondering the same.
Little Jie'Er was quiet; she had actually wanted to tell Ji Yuan that she would be willing to accompany him to the Nightfall Heights when Tang Manni had asked ahead of her.
Ji Yuan frowned, "isn't it easy to tell? Those that agree to marry the Cardinal Priestess off to the Abyssal King are the spies."
Xiang Li immediately applauded Ji Yuan inside his soul sea: My Big Brother is really a genius for knowing about this!
Fairy Anyang: …
Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian'Er, Tang Manni, Little Jie'Er: …
When Ji Yuan saw their stupor looks, he asked curiously. "What is wrong? Did my genius just stunned all of you?"
Juan Xian'Er said weakly, "It isn't as easy to catch the spies as you think or we would have figured out. Those that support marrying off the Cardinal Priestess to the Abyssal King may not be the real spies. They may just weight their options to serve themselves."
Ji Yuan said unhappily, "It doesn't matter to me. It either they are for the Cardinal Priestess or against the Cardinal Priestess."
Juan Xian'Er: …
Xuan Qiaoqiao, Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er were all taken aback by Ji Yuan's logic.
Xuan Qiaoqiao nodded slowly and her beautiful alluring eyes were bleary, "If I don't obey their wishes then they would strip my title from me."
Ji Yuan frowned, "Then why don't you give up your title?"
Xuan Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly, "It is easy for you to say so. I will not only lose all my privileges but I will be confined as well."
Juan Xian'Er sighed, "My sister is right. She had once threatened to give up her title to avoid marrying the Abyssal King Gong Magog."
Xuan Qiaoqiao nodded before she continued, "Also, if I don't agree to this marriage then the Abyssal King Gong Magog will attack the Nightfall Heights."
Ji Yuan asked, "How do you know that there is really a spy in the Nightfall Heights?"
Xuan Qiaoqiao said with a heavy sigh, "Not many people knows that I have the Nine Yin Divine Body but somehow the Abyssal King Gong Magog is able to know about this. That is why we know that there is a spy among us."
Ji Yuan nodded, "That spy must be someone that is quite close to you in order to know your secret."
Xuan Qiaoqiao slowly nodded, "That's right."
Ji Yuan said, "I have decided to go to the Nightfall Heights now to help you to find out who the spy is. This is important."
Xuan Qiaoqiao curiously asked, "Why is it so?"
Ji Yuan said matter of fact, "If there is a spy on your side, then won't all your negotiable cards be known in advance by the Abyssal King Gong Magog? Then what is the point of any negotiations?"
Xuan Qiaoqiao was taken aback; Ji Yuan was right on this.
Juan Xian'Er was forced to agree as she looked at Xuan Qiaoqiao, "He is right. Our first round of negotiation is a complete failure. It is as though the Abyssal King Gong Magog knows of our cards in advance and he even knows that we are not united in our oppositions."
Xuan Qiaoqiao looked at Ji Yuan with flustered looks, "But I can't bring a celestial back with me. Also, I can't tell anyone yet that I… would like Ji Yuan to be my lord… this will also be quite scandalous."
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Who says you will be bringing back your lord back with you? I am nothing but your slave. Is there a rule that you can't bring a slave to the Nightfall Heights?"
Xuan Qiaoqiao pondered for a while before she giggled softly, "No. There is no such rule. I have actually never brought back such a beautiful male slave back before."
Ji Yuan: …
You mean you've brought back less beautiful male slaves back, do you?
But he quickly said, "Then this settles it. I shall go back with you to the Nightfall Heights and we start from there. If I can't find the spy within 2 weeks then I shall confront this Abyssal King Gong Magog for you."
Xuan Qiaoqiao looked melancholy at Ji Yuan but she could not muster any words and she could only silently say thank you to Ji Yuan in her heart.
Juan Xian'Er pondered to think for a while before she asked, "I guess that I have no other choice but to stay in this city for the time being."
Ji Yuan was regretful that he had to abandon Juan Xian'Er in this city that were full of abyssals. "Be careful. We shall soon be back."
Juan Xian'Er nodded, "Between the Cardinal Priestess and I, we have a transmission stone that we can use to relay information. I shall keep you abreast on what is going on while you are at the Nightfall Heights."
Ji Yuan nodded, "Alright. Then this shall be our plan."
Juan Xian'Er and Xuan Qiaoqiao were both sighing quietly; it was because they felt that Ji Yuan was not going to accomplish anything by going to the Nightfall Heights. But when they saw how determined Ji Yuan was, they reluctantly agreed to test out Ji Yuan's plan.
After Ji Yuan had discussed his plans with the maidens and he was preparing to take a break, Xuan Qiaoqiao had suddenly called upon Juan Xian'Er to stay for a while.
As Ji Yuan left with Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er to their room, he saw that Xuan Qiaoqiao was holding hands with Juan Xian'Er.
As he walked off, he could hear Xuan Qiaoqiao telling Juan Xian'Er she was sorry and the two maidens began to embrace together.
Ji Yuan nodded approvingly: It is good that they are friends again.
When Ji Yuan was at the corridor, Little Jie'Er giggled to him. "Yuan Beluga, so how did you manage to capture such a beautiful maiden as Maden Juan Xian'Er?"
Tang Manni was also curious, "Isn't she the one that has set you up?"
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "That is because I am a forgiving person. Haha…"
Tang Manni, Little Jie'Er: …
Ji Yuan smiled to them, "Let leave them alone for a little while. But do you think that the two of you should be alone with me for a little while too?"
When he had said that, Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er were both flushing shyly.
