Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Cute Pet Little Baiqiu (2)_1

"Cough, cough, girl, there’s no need," Youwu coughed a few more times and said, "The Divine Temple holds the highest status on the Xuanyue Continent. You shouldn’t oppose it for my sake."

"Hmph, the Divine Temple is nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing!" Thinking about Little Qianye’s forgotten memories and the revolting Huagui, Dugu Qianye spoke with disgust.

"How can you say that?"

Dugu Qianye recounted her first encounter with Huagui, what she had seen after coming to the Divine Temple, including Shi Nan capturing children, and her suspicion that the Divine Temple was plotting some grand conspiracy. When Huagui was mentioned, Youwu’s reaction was the same as Xie Ping’s; they both expressed their unease at the appearance of the Ferocious Beast.

Seeing their worried expressions, Dugu Qianye said, "This is just my speculation. The pressing matter right now is to find grandpa and the principal. I’ve already made a deal with the Secret Pavilion to help search for them."

"The Secret Pavilion? Aren’t they sworn enemies of the Divine Temple? How could their people be in the Phantom Sea?" Mo Chi asked.

"Everyone knows that the Secret Pavilion and the Divine Temple are sworn enemies, thinking that because the General Pavilion of the Divine Temple is in the Phantom Sea, the Secret Pavilion cannot appear here. Perhaps even Shen Xingzong thinks the same. But they don’t know that the General Pavilion of the Secret Pavilion is actually in the Phantom Sea Domain!" Dugu Qianye said.

People would always say she was bold, but it had to be said, Zi Xiao was truly fearless. To place her main base so brazenly under the nose of the Divine Temple.

"Haha, this Pavilion Master of the Secret Pavilion really has some nerve!" Mo Lao San said.

"By the way, Qianye, last time on your birthday the Divine Temple sent a gift. When did you start having dealings with the Divine Temple?" Mo Lao Si asked. Everyone was curious at the time, but because of the turmoil at the banquet and then the great battle with the Feng Family, followed by taking over the Feng Family’s properties, everyone had been quite busy and had forgotten to ask.

"Zi Xiao was the person who stayed in my courtyard before the New Year," Dugu Qianye explained. "The layout map of the Divine Temple was the gift he gave."

"How did he know you were coming to the Divine Temple? Did he already know that the Divine Temple would invite you at that time?" Mo Lao San asked.

Regarding everyone’s confusion, Dugu Qianye shrugged, indicating she did not know either.

"I’ll go out for a bit. Fen Jian will probably be back soon," Dugu Qianye said. "Youwu Grandpa, please rest and heal. I’m counting on you to lead the charge."

"Alright, be careful out there, and call us out if there’s any trouble."

Dugu Qianye nodded and left the Refining Demon Pot. When she emerged, Fen Jian was not back yet. She poured herself a cup of tea, held it in her hand but did not drink.

After a while, Fen Jian returned. His face was devoid of his signature smile, his brow lightly furrowed, and his eyes still held a trace of worry that he didn’t hide.

"What happened?" Dugu Qianye asked.

Fen Jian looked at Dugu Qianye, his mouth moved but he didn’t speak.

"Tsk, Wind Temple’s young Hall Master Fen Jian, the Secret Pavilion’s third in command Qie Yue, since when did you also learn to hesitate like a coy woman?" Dugu Qianye couldn’t help teasing him as it was rare to see Fen Jian like this.

Fen Jian rolled his eyes at Dugu Qianye’s comment and said, "Indeed, there has been an incident."

"What’s wrong?"

"Some brothers from the Secret Pavilion have been trapped," Fen Jian said.

Hmm? What does that mean? Dugu Qianye’s gaze signaled for clarification.

"The brothers that the Secret Pavilion sent out to search for people were attacked by a Sea Phantom Beast on a small island, and they’ve all been trapped there," Fen Jian explained. "Most of the Secret Pavilion operatives have been dispatched on missions, and everyone available has already been sent out for the search. The Divine Temple is going through a special period right now, and I can’t leave Holy Sea City."

"So there’s no one left to support them now," Dugu Qianye picked up where Fen Jian left off.

Fen Jian nodded.

"Where exactly?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"The location is 200,000 li to the northeast of Holy Spirit Island," Dugu Qianye said, causing a glint of light to flash through Fen Jian’s eyes as he asked, "Can you go rescue them?"

"Although our relationship is merely a transaction, they got into trouble while searching for someone on my behalf. Now, with no news from my grandfather and the others, I do have a few days to spare to check on them," Dugu Qianye replied.

"Then I thank you deeply," Fen Jian said to Dugu Qianye with a bow of thanks, his tone more serious than ever before.

"While I’m away, please take care of them for me," Dugu Qianye said.

"I will," Fen Jian nodded, the responsibility of taking care of the students from Mors Empire here was now on him.

"By the way, there was news previously that someone saw the person you’re looking for up north. But since there was no definite news, I didn’t mention it to you. Take the Secret Pavilion’s communication stone with you; I’ll contact you directly if anything comes up."

Dugu Qianye took the communication stone from Fen Jian, which was similar to the one Xie Ping had given her, and without paying much attention, placed it into her space ring.

Having agreed, Dugu Qianye set off without even changing out of the Divine Temple’s clothes, putting on her mask and quietly leaving Holy Sea City. As she reached the outskirts, she found Xie Ping waiting for her.

"Grandpa Xie. What are you doing here?" 3530

Dugu Qianye had reached out to Xie Ping before she left and was surprised to see him so soon.

"I’ve come to check on Youwu," Xie Ping said.

"Alright."

Dugu Qianye took Xie Ping to a secluded area, making sure no one was around, and then brought him inside the Refining Demon Pot.

"What is this place?" Xie Ping asked, unable to help himself as the scenery suddenly changed around them.

"This is inside the Refining Demon Pot," Dugu Qianye replied.

"The Refining Demon Pot? One of the Legendary Ten Godly Items, the Refining Demon Pot?!" Xie Ping asked in quick succession.

"Yes."

Xie Ping marveled at the world inside the Refining Demon Pot, astonished that he had the chance to see one of the legendary Ancient Divine Artifacts in his lifetime!

Dugu Qianye led Xie Ping to Youwu’s room, where another two days had passed inside the Refining Demon Pot. Youwu’s complexion had improved quite a bit.

Upon seeing each other, Xie Ping and Youwu both were somewhat moved. Seeing Youwu’s emaciated body, Xie Ping was filled with anger.

The two had a rare, warm moment together, but after a short while—

"You old immortal, like this, you never listen to me, and you’ve made a round trip to the gates of the underworld, how does that feel?" Xie Ping asked with a smile, then pinched Youwu’s withered hand by the bed, "Tsk tsk, look at this hand, nearly as thin as a chicken claw."

"Get lost. Your hand is the chicken claw," Youwu pulled his hand away and said, "Hmph, you old relentless one, you’re not dead, so why would I be? If you’re so curious about what it’s like to tour the gates of the underworld, you’re welcome to try. Besides, you didn’t listen and came to the Phantom Sea too."

"Damn it, are you cursing me!"

"I damn right am cursing you, what about it?"

"While you’re ill, I’ll take your life; give me that old life of yours."

Dugu Qianye left the room with a laugh, still hearing their bickering from inside as she stepped into the courtyard. This was their way of interacting; even though they were always bickering, they expressed care for each other.
