Chapter 1385 - 1364: Birds of a Feather Flock Together
The spy sensed the fury of the Sword of Impermanence, swallowed hard, and opened his mouth, trembling with fear, "Patriarch, actually we still have a chance! If we can persuade or expel Ye Huan from the Endless Deep Mountains before the grand competition of the Hundred Clans begins, our Sword Family won’t be dragged down by that bastard, and we won’t become a stepping stone for the Huang Family either!""Then hurry up and do it. Mobilize everyone in the Intelligence Hall to find Ye Huan. Catch that impure bloodline that will burden our Sword Family in the mountains, and then let Jian Fanghua work on persuading him to get out of the mountains!"
"Also, prepare for the second plan!"
"Contact Junlin and have him ready to act! If Jian Fanghua can’t persuade Ye Huan, have him use his absolute strength advantage to personally expel that bastard from the Endless Deep Mountains!"
"If that bastard dares to resist, send him straight to Hell!"
The Sword of Impermanence, filled with violent intent, issued a series of commands.
The spy hesitated, unsure of his decision, and tentatively said, "Patriarch, the Young Master is currently studying Ancient Martial Killing Techniques at the Song Family within the Three-ring Zone, just to deal with an impure bloodline wastrel. Is it really necessary to waste the Young Master’s energy and have him take action?"
"No worries, the grand competition is starting soon. Let Junlin use this ’cousin’ wastrel as a punching bag to warm up and improve his touch." The Sword of Impermanence waved his hand, closing his eyes on the Sword Family throne, indicating he didn’t want to say more.
In fact, the Sword of Impermanence was indeed in no mood to say more.
The news that Ye Huan had successfully entered the deep mountains was like a thunderbolt, causing the Sword of Impermanence immense distress.
If Ye Huan really entered the grand competition of the Hundred Clans, the Sword Family’s scores would surely be dragged down by this wastrel, regardless of the efforts made by the young generation of the Sword Family!
The scores would definitely plummet dramatically!
It was even possible that the Sword Family could drop from the seventy-eighth place to ranking between ninety and one hundred!
But as long as we prevent Ye Huan, this wastrel, from entering the competition, there’s still hope for the Sword Family!
Even if this generation of the Sword Family lacks talented individuals, the ranking would drop, but not to an absurd extent!
"Yes!"
The spy still felt that sending Sword Junlin, the first genius renowned in the Seven-ring Region, to expel Ye Huan was like killing a chicken with a reinforced 999-level super golden dragon-slaying knife!
It was unnecessary!
However, the spy didn’t have a say in the family’s decisions and couldn’t say much.
He could only obediently carry out the orders!
"Ye Huan, I hope you can behave and leave the mountains at Jian Fanghua’s advice instead of becoming a burden to the Sword Family; otherwise, Sword Junlin won’t let you go easily!" the spy thought viciously in his heart.
...
In the morning, warm sunlight poured over the land.
In Lao Yu Town in the Endless Deep Mountains, children were already playing and frolicking in the streets.
Women dressed in silk and satin shouted at the children to be careful, then gathered in groups to carry tubs filled with clothes to wash at the creek outside the town.
"Brother Ye, there’s none of the city’s hustle and bustle here; it truly looks like a paradise." From a quaint room on the fourth floor of the Dragon Inn, the Empress looked at the street scene through the paper window and couldn’t help but sigh.
Ye Huan smiled without saying a word, nodding slightly.
This small town was incredibly peaceful, and the restaurant that witnessed a great battle yesterday had now returned to its normal state.
The blood and bodies had all disappeared.
Ye Huan speculated that it was the work of Ye Fufu’s family backing her up.
For a moment, Huan became more curious about the girl who suddenly appeared in the tavern last night.
The family behind Ye Fufu must be extremely powerful.
So, which illustrious family does she belong to?
A frontline family?
A super-frontline family?
Or perhaps, the strongest family whose main base is located at the heart of the deep mountains—the Ling Family?
All are possible, but it doesn’t have much to do with Huan.
Ye Huan looked around the town; this untainted paradise matched his ideal living place.
Maybe after withstanding that calamity and completely annihilating the sequence, he could consider moving to the Endless Deep Mountains with Liu Tianyun and them, living a simple life with rice, oil, salt, and a peaceful, leisurely village life?
Ye Huan longed for it very much.
If someone knew his thoughts, they might be utterly shocked!
Choosing to live a commoner’s life in a bird-inhabited deep mountain over a luxurious life that ordinary people dream of?
But that’s how the world is; ordinary people want to climb up, witnessing the world’s prosperity and clamor.
And those who have seen these things, standing at the pinnacle of the worldly pyramid, often want to return to their original intentions, find a peaceful place, calm their mind.
"Let’s go down for a meal and get ready to move." Ye Huan withdrew his gaze and thoughts, tapping the Empress’s shoulder with a smile, and they went downstairs together.
Last night, the two stayed in adjacent rooms; in the morning, the Empress came to wake up Ye Huan, hence her arrival in this room.
This inn provided breakfast, and after Ye Huan and the Empress went downstairs, they sat at the table next to Ye Fufu and her maids, who were dining.
"Miss Ye, thanks for last night." Ye Huan shouted across, munching on a bun, expressing his gratitude to Ye Fufu.
"Bored? Why suddenly thank me?" Ye Fufu appeared calm, but the slight redness behind her ears betrayed her state.
Noticing her anomaly, she untied her dark red long hair, tied into a high ponytail, and concealed the back of her ear with a strand.
"Master Ye, don’t get it wrong!"
"My lady wasn’t being too soft-hearted, worried that you might catch cold while sleeping outdoors without gold coins, get bitten by wolves, and that’s why she paid for your room, and feeling shy, tipped the waiter to bring you into the inn."
"My lady wasn’t trying to do good, hiding her achievements behind the scenes, acting low-key!"
"Please don’t misunderstand, don’t thank my lady, she’s very thin-skinned!"
Noticing their lady’s awkward demeanor, maids Xiaoqing and Xiaobai quickly spoke to "rescue"!
"Xiaoqing Xiaobai, why are you talking so much? Does eating honestly cause you to die?!" Ye Fufu was enraged, her face flushed crimson, grabbing a bun in each hand and stuffing them into the two maids’ mouths viciously!
Thinking, how could she have two such foolish maids when she herself was so clever!
Their words might "potentially" expose her thoughts to Ye Huan!
With confused faces, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai wondered why their lady was angry when they clearly were helping to defuse the situation!
Ye Huan: "..."
Empress: "..."
Both were at a loss, speechless.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
This master-servant pair, each more peculiar than the other!
So silly!
Since Ye Huan and Ye Fufu were both headed for the Six Doors, they naturally traveled together.
During the journey, Ye Huan no longer thanked Ye Fufu.
He disliked being in debt to others, especially when it came to favors.
He intended to repay this favor at an appropriate time.
This opportunity arose soon!
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
At noon.
Ye Huan, Ye Fufu, and their group had just traversed a mountain, crossed a river, planning to take a short break.
Suddenly, a group clad in purple robes, marked with a blue dragon on their chests, appeared like ghosts, materializing before Ye Huan’s group as the purple mist engulfing them dispersed!
Each of the seven individuals exuded a strong killing intent!
In each of their eyes, fierce red glints radiated!
