Chapter 261: Chapter 261 The Terrifying Woman_1

"Back then, your dithering nature wasted so much of my time!"

The Empress forcefully extended her slightly warm hand into your embrace, groping about wildly!

"Hey, hey, what are you touching!"

True to the Empress’s nature, she ignored your protests. Out of nowhere, her hand suddenly gave a fierce pinch at your waist!

"Hiss—"

Cold air! You took in a long, sharp breath of cold air!

Before you could speak, the Empress snapped back at you, demanding, "Where is the Silk book?"

"In my pocket."

While you were still drawing breaths of cold air, and as the Empress prepared to reach for it herself, you, with the speed of lightning, snatched the Silk book from your pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Here’s the Silk book for you!"

The Empress glared at you coldly and finally let you go.

Only after the Empress had opened the Silk book did she scrutinize it with a very serious demeanor. She then looked up at you and asked, "Did you discern anything from within?"

Seeing you nod, she immediately demanded, "Let’s hear it."

You didn’t speak, instead gazing at her with a very strange look.

"I’m asking you a question, why are you staring at me?"

Truth be told, you didn’t know what kind of person the past Empress really was, but after a brief interaction, you suddenly realized that the Empress was human too; she had human emotions and desires.

Especially now, you were quite aware that the Empress hadn’t seen any information in the Silk book at all, yet she still pretended to understand, which you found quite amusing.

"Did you fail to find any information?"

You suddenly blurted out this sentence as if possessed by a devil.

It was as if you had hit a sensitive spot on the Empress. She erupted in fury, and a tremendously powerful Qi Force rushed toward you!

Without any warning from the Empress, you, caught off guard, only saw Zhao’er appear suddenly in front of you. With a light flick of her hand, she diverted the Qi Force towards the walls and ceiling, causing the wind to scatter violently throughout the VIP corridor, making it difficult for people to stand.

Seeing the Empress about to lose her temper again, you hastily said, "Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, I was just joking with you. In fact, I didn’t see any information either; it’s just that when I opened the Silk book, a Magic Seal flashed through my mind."

"What Magic Seal?"

The Empress’s temper was as fleeting as the wind, and the corridor quickly returned to calm.

You turned your head to look at Xi Yu, and without you having to speak, Xi Yu had already taken out paper and pen from her briefcase.

With the pen and paper in hand, you quickly sketched a Magic Seal that appeared to be a concrete character yet resembled an abstract design.

After examining it for a few moments, the Empress’s eyebrows knitted slightly, "This isn’t a Magic Seal; it’s more like a character, or rather a symbol. Why do I feel like I have seen it somewhere before?"

"You’ve seen it?" You suddenly looked up, staring directly at the Empress.

At that moment, Xi Yu also leaned in and, looking at the pattern on the paper, said, "Isn’t this the emblem of the Chu Sect, as well as their mark?"

"Chu Sect?" The Empress frowned and asked Xi Yu, "What organization is the Chu Sect?"

Not bothering to answer, while Xi Yu explained the origins and development of the Chu Sect to the Empress, you turned to Wu Qiyi and said, "Er Ya, it seems that after all the twists and turns, we’ve come back to that old Taoist’s senior brother. It looks like I need to have a serious talk with Du Qingming."

Thinking about it was enough for you to take action, which had always been your principle. You immediately took out your phone from your pocket and dialed Du Qingming’s number.

The phone call connected quickly, and Du Qingming’s laughter came through, "Little Li, why are you suddenly calling me? Have you run into some trouble?"

You didn’t want to waste time with Du Qingming and got straight to the point, "Lao Du, where exactly is that person you told me about? When can I meet her?"

Seeing that your tone was low, Du Qingming also stopped joking around and said solemnly, "Little Li, the elder you’re wanting to meet is somewhat eccentric in character. She usually keeps to herself and hasn’t appeared in public for over twenty years."

"I don’t care about that; I just want to know how I can meet her."

Continuing, Du Qingming said, "Because of your situation, I’ve made a special request to my superiors, and I’ve given them a general idea of your circumstances. The response from above was simple—they want you to become an inner sect disciple of the Chu Sect, and you must win the championship in this year’s Chu Sect disciple competition."

"What the hell? The Chu Sect disciple competition?"

Xi Yu, just finished explaining to the Empress, heard you and immediately elucidated, "The so-called Chu Sect disciple competition is a method the Chu Sect uses to select talents for the inner sect. The Chu Sect’s outer sect has always valued meritocracy, recruiting anyone with special abilities in certain areas. But the inner sect is different; the requirements for inner sect disciples are extremely stringent, and there are eight branches in the Chu Sect’s inner sect, with disciples categorized accordingly based on their distinct characteristics."

Hearing Xi Yu’s explanation, your brows naturally furrowed, and you said to Du Qingming, "Come on, Lao Du, are you pulling my leg? What kind of bullshit rule is that?"

"Believe it or not."

Great, so Du Qingming, the old rascal, had resorted to playing stubborn in the end.

You pursed your lips and asked him, "When does this so-called competition of yours start?"

"The exact date hasn’t been set yet, but it’s roughly around New Year’s Day this year, more than a month away. You should take this time to sharpen your Five Elements Spell a bit more. Based on your abilities, I will nominate you for entry into the Scenic Sect."

Scenic Sect?

Hey, interesting!

You hung up the phone, took the silk book from Xi Yu, and tucked it into your chest. Then you said to Xi Yu, "I’m going to make a trip to the Wu Family Old House first to see what Mammy has to say."

"Which Mammy?" When the Empress heard ’Wu Family Old House,’ her expression noticeably changed.

After all, she was also from the Wu Family. Although she now held a distinguished status, her roots were still there.

Wu Qiyi said to the Empress, "Not many people know or mention Mammy’s name anymore. However, I’ve seen it before in the family’s old genealogy; she seems to be called Qiu Lan."

"Qiu Lan?"

Upon hearing this name, the Empress couldn’t help but pause, a hint of reminiscence appearing on her beautiful face, and she quickly asked, "Is she still alive?"

"No, Mammy sacrificed herself for righteousness back in the day and voluntarily became a Townhouse General."

"She... she was so muddleheaded!"

The Empress sighed deeply and simultaneously waved her hand towards the wall beside her.

The wall immediately began to crack rapidly!

"Let’s leave now, if we stay any longer we’re going to draw unnecessary trouble."

Xi Yu’s words nudged everyone, and you all boarded the stretched Hummer together.

As the Hummer started slowly, you, bored, turned on the TV in the car. The moment the TV came on, you saw the news broadcast: "Dear viewers, although the waters of the Qiantang River have stabilized, experts still remind citizens not to get too close..."

The news was broadcasting footage of Zhao’er and the Empress fighting at the mouth of the Qiantang River!

Even though the news did not claim that the tumultuous waves were caused by the brawl between the two women, and no one had captured a clear image since all the cameras shattered under their clashing qi force; you still turned to look at Zhao’er and the Empress immediately.

Oh no, you dared not stare too long at the fearsome Empress, instead, you firmly fixed your eyes on Zhao’er and said plainly, "Zhao’er, don’t do anything this dangerous again in the future, understand?"
