Chapter 341: Blackened Junior Sister (46)
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 to build an intelligence network for the past few years.
There is not much news about the Exalted Sea Sect in the world, but it is not totally unknown. Over the previous two years, Shu Ye had heard and found a great deal of information. Be that as it may, a large part of the information gathered was merely superficial news that could only scrape the surface. It was only known that Exalted Sea was a demonic cult, and it was thoroughly annihilated after the war between humans and demons a hundred years ago. In addition, the Sky Breeze Sect was one of the culprits responsible for the massacre of the sect.
Shu Ye had naturally been to the rumored old site of the Exalted Sea Sect numerous times. Even though it was the old site of the Exalted Sea Sect, it had been blown to pieces long ago and now looked like an abandoned ruin.
For some reason, it seems that someone above had purposefully concealed the news of the Exalted Sea Sect, turning it into a kind of forbidden intelligence. Shu Ye came dangerously close to death multiple times as he tried to dig out more information about it. In the past two years, the young man had to exercise a great deal of self-control to avoid being the target of that enigmatic person or group.
Two days ago, Shu Ye was shocked when he learned from his subordinates that someone was inquiring about the Exalted Sea Sect. Although the Exalted Sea Sect matter cannot be said to be an absolute secret, the young man has never met anyone who took the initiative to ask about the so-called demonic sect in the open in the past hundred years. Moreover, the other party inquiring about this intelligence is in the Central Plains. After thinking about the pros and cons, again and again, Shu Ye eventually decided to come and meet that individual in person.
Therefore, he encountered Yue Ran in the Diamond Dreams Casino.
"I can lead the way to the old site of the Exalted Sea Sect for you, and you are free to keep anything that you can find," Shu Ye said. "There is only one condition. All I want to do is to go with you. What do you think?"
"All right," Yue Ran said, readily agreeing to this one simple condition.
Even a shrewd individual would know that this is not a loss-making deal.
"Then let us head out right away," Shu Ye said. "Is that convenient for you?"
"I still have someone I want to pick up so let us change the time and date," Yue Ran said. "I will meet you in the bamboo forest in the south of the city tomorrow instead."
"Then, all right," Shu Ye uttered. "But you have not told me your name yet, beautiful young lady."
"Yue Ran," Yue Ran said simply. "I am Yue Ran, the evil witch who fled with the Sword of the Demon, Long Yuan, and made a contract with him."
The young woman rested the side of her face on a hand, tapped lightly and rhythmically on the wooden table, and said that statement without any hesitation. Anyway, Shu Ye could find out about such news with ease sooner or later, so there was no need for Yue Ran to hide it.
In any case, if her guess was right, then she, Yue Ran, will become an infamous individual in the Central Plains after today. Nonetheless, her objective will remain unchanged.
She will soon become a Demon Lord. No matter what.
"Then please give me more advice, beautiful young lady," Shu Ye said. "I always feel that we still have a long time to get along with each other. Our destiny will not be severed so easily."
Shu Ye: Because we are bound to one another by a thread called fate.
Shu Ye looked straight at Yue Ran with eyes that looked a little ambiguous and charming. Even though Yue Ran had not been with him for a long time, she had pretty much understood his character. This man is harmless, for now, at least. Thus, she immediately rolled her eyes at him, got up from her seat, and left the place since there was no more business to talk about.
Shu Ye looked at the young woman's disappearing back and spoke out loud despite there being no one in front of him since Yue Ran was now out of his sight, "Send two people to protect her… No, instead, send Xiao Yun to go there in person. People from the Grand Martial Temple should also be keeping an eye on her, so make sure not to alert the enemy."
These sentences were, as a matter of fact, addressed to the hidden guards lurking around him.
Shu Ye leaned back in his chair and leisurely gazed at the floating clouds outside the window. This young lady is a really fascinating person. Although her disguise is not perfect, she has indeed emulated a flawless temperament for it. If he was not proficient in the arts of disguise, it was highly likely that he would not have been able to discover Yue Ran's true gender.
Moreover, she also has a rather peculiar aura. Although her cultivation is not deep, her aura is. She just has this deep aura, one so deep that not a person could see its end. The young woman must not be a simple person.
Shu Ye could not help but smile when he thought of this.
The Central Plains has been peaceful for so long, and now it is time for some chaos. If this chaos can be started, Shu Ye has no problem adding a handful of wood to start the fire and even make its flames burn with wild abandon!
