Chapter 204: Chapter 74: The Presence of an Old Monster-Level Being

Little did Yang Qing know that this man harbored wolf ambitions. Using a Red Card as a human shield, he dodged the deadly sneak attack and subsequently used poison darts.

The Ghost Sect members were caught off guard and nearly driven to a dead end by Yang Qing.

Had it not been for Yan Che stepping in during the crisis, injuring Yang Qing’s right arm, they would have successfully escaped; otherwise, the Ghost Sect would have certainly suffered heavy losses this time.

"Yan Che, you were too reckless this time. This Yang Qing, I’ve heard my adoptive father mention him too. His strength is roughly at the level of the Great Primordial Elixir Realm, about the same as my adoptive father back in Li City. But that’s not the main issue. The reason you failed this time is that you’ve underestimated Yang Qing."

Ye Lingyue shook her head after hearing this.

The Ghost Sect’s influence had swelled significantly in a short period, which led Yan Che and the other disciples of the Ghost Sect to grow arrogant.

This defeat served as a wake-up call for both Yan Che and Ye Lingyue, making them realize that the Xia Capital was not such an easy place to gain a foothold.

"The Xia Capital is under the Emperor’s feet. Apart from organizations like Killing Hall that span across countries, most forces that can establish themselves in the Xia Capital, especially the underworld, are in collusion with officials. As for the Sha Sect, even the officials dare not eradicate them at whim. You must thoroughly investigate who’s behind them before you clash with them."

However, even if they have a formidable background, anyone who dares to harm her, from now on, Yang Qing will be a thorn in her side that she will remove sooner or later.

"You should go back and recover from your injuries for the next few days. Once I have news of the Sha Sect, I will let you avenge this disgrace."

It seems that this time, I need to think of other methods to probe the background of the Sha Sect.

After seeing off Yan Che, Ye Lingyue felt somewhat irritated. The matters of the Love Grass and the Sha Sect, mixed together, were difficult for her to untangle.

Ye Lingyue had never encountered such a situation before.

To clear her mind, Ye Lingyue stepped out of her room, planning to spar a few rounds with Lan Cai’er.

She happened to come across Lan Cai’er, who had just finished practicing her Fist Technique, drenched in fragrant sweat. Seeing Ye Lingyue with a face of frustration, she approached her.

"You suspect Yao Concubine is colluding with Beiqing, oh dear, this is really big news." Lan Cai’er was astonished.

One was Emperor Xia’s Favored Concubine, and the other was the Grand Protector of Daxia—if these two really were...

"This is just my suspicion. To be cautious, I don’t plan to let too many people know, including my stepmother and adoptive mother. You should also refrain from mentioning it for now," Ye Lingyue said seriously.

"Have you asked Prince Feng? He is from Beiqing and is known as a medicine jar. As an alchemist in the Beiqing Realm, he probably knows eight or nine out of ten of them. Yao Concubine knows Alchemy; she must have ties with the alchemists of Beiqing." Lan Cai gave Ye Lingyue a reminder.

Ye Lingyue also thought about asking Feng Xun, but since the last time Feng Xun confessed to her, she felt that their relationship had undergone a subtle change.

If there were others present, it would be fine, but whenever she was alone with Feng Xun and met his gaze, she found it hard to breathe.

Where exactly should she place Feng Xun in her life?

Shaking her head, Ye Lingyue decided to put these matters to one side for now.

She didn’t have the luxury to dwell on such romantic entanglements. Avenging her mother and herself and strengthening the Ghost Sect were her most urgent priorities.

Ye Lingyue decided to visit Feng Xun after all.

Upon her arrival at the Feng Residence, Old Sir Mu was all smiles.

Ever since Miss Ye and the fruits and vegetables she sent daily arrived at the Feng Residence, the young master’s picky eating habits have improved a lot, and the frequency of his Cold Syndrome outbreaks has also decreased.

His once emaciated body now appeared considerably more robust.

In such circumstances, Old Sir Mu was nearly worshipping Ye Lingyue as if she were a Bodhisattva.

Others in Xia Capital needed to announce their arrival to enter the Feng Residence, but Ye Lingyue could walk in sideways without any announcement at all.

Old Sir Mu thought that if the young master stayed in Daxia forever, perhaps he could live a long life, beyond the age of twenty as Lord Fang Venerate had predicted.

"Sword Slave, come with me to pour tea, let the young master and Miss Ling Yue talk." Old Sir Mu winked at the wooden-like sword slave, dragged the hefty figure away, leaving behind a somewhat awkward Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun.

Ye Lingyue tactfully avoided the important issue and began by conducting a routine physical check-up for Feng Xun.

Feng Xun’s Cold Syndrome hadn’t acted up for a while, and that was thanks to Ye Lingyue, who had infused Cauldron Breath into his body during each examination, absorbing the cold energy within him.

But that was just absorption. Whenever Ye Lingyue tried to control the Cauldron Breath to probe the source of the cold within Feng Xun’s body, it would be forcibly expelled by a powerful surge of energy.

This time was no exception.

It seemed that the Cauldron Breath needed to become stronger to unravel the mystery within Feng Xun’s body.

After the check-up, Old Sir Mu had served tea. Ye Lingyue did not immediately inquire about Yao Concubine but casually asked Feng Xun about the famous alchemists of Beiqing.

"The most famous alchemist in Beiqing? You’ve asked the right person. Even Master Long Yu might not know as much as our young master. Miss Ling Yue, not to disparage the alchemists of Daxia, but if you ever get the chance to follow our young master back to Beiqing, their Star Sacrificial Tower is much more imposing than the Alchemist Tower of Xia Capital," Old Sir Mu was cunning indeed.

He seemed to be answering Ye Lingyue’s question but was actually tempting her.

Return to Beiqing with Feng Xun? Ye Lingyue was startled.

Feng Xun coughed lightly to interrupt the enthusiastic Old Sir Mu.

"Teacher, your words are quite disrespectful to Master Long Yu. The alchemists of Beiqing and Daxia study different disciplines. Daxia focuses on alchemy, while Beiqing emphasizes astrology. Xiahou Venerable of the Daxia Alchemist Tower and Venerable Chen Hongru of Beiqing are both top figures among alchemists."

Chen Hongru?

Ye Lingyue had a sudden epiphany.

Could this Chen Hongru be the same one mentioned by Ye Family Ancestor Ye Wuming?

Ye Lingyue was filled with mixed emotions and countless questions, but she also knew that, from the way Feng Xun and Old Sir Mu spoke, this Chen Hongru must hold a very prominent status within Beiqing.

So many years had passed, Ancestor Ye was long gone, and yet Chen Hongru was still alive?

But for now, she was not capable of avenging Ancestor Wu Ming just yet; however, Old Sir Mu’s mention of the Star Sacrificial Tower piqued Ye Lingyue’s interest.

Ye Lingyue was about to ask further when Sword Slave walked in.

In his hand, he held a black invitation card.

Ye Lingyue glanced at it—common invitations were usually red, but this one was black.

Sword Slave subconsciously accepted Ye Lingyue as the lady of the Feng Residence and didn’t hide anything, reporting directly.

"Prince, the Treasure Cave has sent an invitation for an auction today, inviting you to attend."
