Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty

Why does Shu Ye wish to speak now?

As Yue Ran was about to continue the words that she had left trailing off, Shu Ye said, "The Sky Breeze Sect is one of the culprits that led to the destruction of the Exalted Sea Sect. The enemy of my enemy is naturally my friend. And even if you are not my friend, it does not matter much. It is not difficult to kidnap you and make you a forbidden delicacy."

Shu Ye folded his arms and gazed at Yue Ran with a naked and straightforward appreciation in his eyes. Yue Ran did not feel the slightest anger or dissatisfaction with his behavior. All she could think of was that he was a funny man.

"Do you know of the demonic sword, the Sword of the Demon, Long Yuan?" asked Yue Ran.

When Yue Ran brought this up, the frivolous expression on Shu Ye's face lessened, now looking a little faint. The young man fell silent for a few seconds, as if he was waiting for the continuation of those words, but did not hear Yue Ran speak after a while. It was now clear that he was trading one piece of knowledge for another with this client of his. Just now, he had introduced himself, so Yue Ran had also disclosed some information. They were baiting one another.

Shu Ye chuckled softly. This young woman is really not a simpleton that he can deal with ease.

But a light challenge will be more exciting. It can add some spice to his life.

"I am an abandoned baby left in the northwest," Shu Ye began. "My foster parent said that there was only a jade pendant in the swaddling cover, on which my name "Shu Ye" was engraved. On the back of this jade pendant, there are two small characters "Exalted" and "Sea," which clearly indicate my relation with the Exalted Sea Sect. The original intention in establishing the Dark Sky Pavilion was to extract information from others and also to find out more about the Exalted Sea Sect and its relation to my biological parents, including who they were."

When Shu Ye said these, the frivolity on his face had disappeared, leaving only a faint sadness in its depth. Even though it was just a few sentences, it conveyed the sense of the rough life he went through.

"I am also an orphan, one that was picked up by the Sky Breeze Sect in passing," Yue Ran said, knowing that it was her turn to share her information. "But I am no longer one of them anymore." Seeing that the hostility of the young man toward her had entirely dispersed, Yue Ran generously took a seat, pulled an empty cup close to her, filled it with tea, and drank it all with a raise of her head. She then wiped her lips casually and continued with a smile, "Moreover, I have made a contract with the Sword of the Demon and am now preparing to restore the Exalted Sea Sect back to its former glory. Oh no, I mean the Demon Sect."

"You intend to restore the Exalted Sea Sect back to its former glory?" Shu Ye raised both brows, seemingly taken aback by the young woman's revelation of her goal. "If so, what do you plan to do next?"

Yue Ran curled her lips before asking, "Do you know where the old site of the Exalted Sea Sect is?"

Rather than answering her question, Shu Ye asked another question, "Do you think that I have been working in vain after my Dark Sky Pavilion has been established for so long?" He let out a sigh before continuing, "There is nothing in that place; I have searched it dozens of times already."

Yue Ran simply said, "You and I are different."

The implication in her words is that just because Shu Ye can't find anything does not mean that Yue Ran can't find anything, too. That was why they were different. One is able to achieve it (Yue Ran), but another one is unable to (Shu Ye).

Shu Ye was not angry even after understanding the underlying meaning of those five simple words and merely shifted the subject of the topic.

"It seems that we are destined to be together," Shu Ye remarked.

The young man took a seat across Yue Ran and poured himself a cup of tea with a smile.

…

Shu Ye was abandoned as a baby in the northwest and was taken in by a hermit. Checking that the baby had a wide spiritual vein and an exceptional aptitude, the hermit picked the baby up and took the baby back so that the baby could inherit his martial arts when he was gone.

Later, when Shu Ye was only sixteen years old, the old hermit passed away. Fortunately, all the old hermit's martial arts were passed on to Shu Ye, so the old hermit could be considered to have a successor he was satisfied with. As a result, the old hermit went to the other side with peace of mind.

Although Shu Ye was young, he was taught by the old hermit in a strict and disciplined way. He was able to take on the responsibility akin to an adult since he was a child, and he worked hard all the way out of the treacherous northwest on his own. The martial arts taught by the old hermit were fierce, mainly poisonous, and suitable for torture.

Shu Ye initially founded the Dark Sky Pavilion to collect debts and extract confessions from others. Following that, his strength kept growing stronger and stronger, and his subordinates kept increasing day by day. Over time, the Dark Sky Pavilion developed into a large-scale and organized organization that it is today. However, Shu Ye has never let go of his doubts about his lineage and origin, which is also the main reason why he has decided to stay in the Central Plains.
