“That person gave me some pills to consume and use to subdue the forces. He asked me to look for information about the Eye of the Earth.
“I happened to obtain that sheepskin map and thought that there might be something inside. Thus, I subjugated Liu Qian and wanted him to be a scapegoat to scout the way. If I can find the map or the treasure, I will kill him and take it for myself. If he dies, I’ll find someone else.”
“Young hero, that’s all I know! I haven’t seen that person for three years, but he would occasionally ask me about the progress of the matter through the voice transmission talisman. I’ve told you everything I know. Please spare me!”
Yun Chujiu’s palm landed on the back of the man’s neck. Then, she said to An Feng, “What this person said should be true. Let him use the voice transmission talisman to lure the upper line here. Who knows what he might do with the voice transmission talisman. There are only two of us, and we’re really alone.”
An Feng nodded. “Miss Jiu, let’s return to the Spirit Radiance Sect first and then make a long-term plan!”
Yun Chujiu thought about it and could only do so. “Alright! We’ll return to Spirit Radiance Sect now.”
“Then what about the mess that is Goshawk Sect?”
“In natural selection, the winner is king. Let them fight among themselves! We’ll leave now!”
Yun Chujiu was not in the mood to deal with these trivial matters. She put the man in a sack and let An Feng carry him on her shoulder. Then, she set a fire and took advantage of the chaos to leave the city.
After the two of them left Chimeric City, they returned to the Spirit Radiance Sect on a flying spirit tool.
Half a month later, the flying spirit tool arrived at the Spirit Radiance Sect. Yun Chujiu brought the man who had taken the sleeping powder to the meeting hall and told Master Xuanyuan everything that had happened.
However, when Yun Chujiu told him, she did not mention the merman. Instead, she told him about the illusion that the merman had set up.
“Little Jiu, you should go back and rest. I will gather the other three sect leaders and discuss a safe plan before informing you.” Since the matter was of great importance, Master Xuanyuan could not make a decision in a hurry.
Yun Chujiu nodded and returned to her dormitory. She did not dare to relax for the past few days. Finally, she could have a good rest. Yun Chujiu took a shower and fell asleep.
Yun Chujiu slept until the evening. When she woke up, she saw Di Beiming sitting beside the desk, reading a book.
Seeing this, she jumped over from the bed. “Prince Charming, I missed you so much! Quickly catch me!”
Di Beiming sighed and stretched out his arm to hold Yun Chujiu in his arms. “Nonsense! How crazy are you?!”
Yun Chujiu hugged Di Beiming’s neck and said shamelessly, “I like to fool around! Don’t you like me like this?!”
Di Beiming picked Yun Chujiu up and put her back on the bed. He said with a straight face, “I heard that you have another brother?”
Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes. “My Prince Charming, did the Little Madman tell on me? This chatterbox!”
Little Madman?
The corner of Di Beiming’s eyes twitched. “Little Jiu, don’t change the topic. What’s with the merman?”
“The merman is so pitiful! He was trapped by three ten-thousand-year-old black iron chains for more than ten-thousand years…” Yun Chujiu told him everything.
Of course, she naturally omitted some details that could easily be misunderstood by Di Beiming, such as how the mermaids multiplied…
