Shen Zhenyi was quietly soaking in the wooden tub.
His white gown was hanging at the side. There was only one pot of fragrant tea in the entire room on the second floor, bubbling on the red clay stove. Other than that, there was nothing else.
There was no sword, no murderous intent.
It was as if all the dust between heaven and earth had been cleansed in this silence.
His eyes were as clear as water, and his palms were as white as jade as they gently rested on the edge of the tub.
"Master …"
Yun Ni knelt at the door, not daring to raise her head. She wanted to say something but stopped.
Shen Zhenyi closed his eyes and said casually, "What does Qiu Yinxuan want to do? Just tell me. "
Shen Zhenyi knew Yun Ni's identity like the back of his hand from the first day she came to the Abandoned Sword Villa. And after seven years, it was impossible for the Third Young Master Shen not to conquer her heart.
Yun Ni said in a low voice, "My Senior Brother said that they are planning an operation to overthrow the Abandoned Sword Villa when the ten years are up."
Shen Zhenyi nodded. "Then he must be coming to deal with me."
To deal with the Abandoned Sword Villa, they first had to deal with the Third Young Master Shen. If they couldn't get rid of the Third Young Master Shen, then no amount of schemes and tricks would be of any use.
"But … what other people do they have?"
Even if Qiu Yinxuan personally went to fight, he would be nothing more than a sacrificial lamb. His cultivation level might be higher than Master Ren's, but he had no chance of winning against the Hundred Gates to Heaven.
Shen Zhenyi could easily defeat the core of the Hundred Gates to Heaven. If Qiu Yinxuan thought that he could beat Shen Zhenyi, then he was simply overconfident and delusional.
Currently, there were only a few experts in the fourth stage of the Perfected Person Realm in Feilan Province. Cynanchum Chinense and Master Ren belonged to the Abandoned Sword Villa. King Dalong Of Zhao was also an ally of the Villa. Qiu Yinxuan was alone, so what could he do?
With his ambition, he wouldn't bring in a Juntian expert. Otherwise, he would be making a wedding dress for others.
"This …" Yun Ni frowned. "I'll ask around again."
Shen Zhenyi waved his hand. He didn't care.
No matter what Qiu Yinxuan wanted to do, it was all within his control.
He watched as Yun Ni retreated. He stood up, stepped on the surface of the water, and walked out into the air, floating in mid-air. With a light flick of his wrist, the long robe hanging on the hanger automatically flew over and draped over his body.
Shen Zhenyi's long black hair spread out in all directions. He was barefooted and his face was like jade. From afar, he looked like a celestial being.
After Yun Ni gave up the darkness for the light, she still worked very hard. She left the Abandoned Sword Villa, ignoring the bickering Princess Long and Cynanchum Chinense. She went to the front yard to look for her senior brother, Wei Yuanbao, who came with her to the Abandoned Sword Villa as a spy.
Wei Yuanbao was a pitiful person.
He joined the Abandoned Sword Villa. Everyone knew that he was a spy sent by the Moon Worshipping Cave. Before Shen Zhenyi's battle in Soaring City, they might have been a little afraid of him. But after Shen Zhenyi established himself as the number one expert in the Feilan Province, this man suffered a lot.
As an outer disciple, he couldn't pass the inner disciple test no matter what. There was no other way. The first step was loyalty. Therefore, he couldn't learn the superior martial arts of the Abandoned Sword Villa. He could only practice boxing and horse riding with the younger disciples in the outer sect. It was a miserable life.
He was originally a martial artist at the peak of the Mortal Realm, but after seven years of delay, he couldn't make any progress. He was even worse than Yun Ni.
It could be said that the golden age of a martial artist was completely wasted by him.
But he still had wishful thinking. He thought that as long as he could make a great contribution and return to the Moon Worshipping Cave, the Sect Master would naturally compensate him and he would be able to make a comeback in the future.
Therefore, although most of the spies had changed their minds, he was the only one who was unwaveringly loyal.
Seeing Yun Ni come to find him, Wei Yuanbao started to complain, "Junior Sister, your cultivation has improved again? Following the Third Young Master Shen is taking advantage of you! I made a mistake these past few days, chopping wood and fetching water every day. I'm afraid that my martial arts won't be able to catch up to yours in this lifetime! "
He and Yun Ni were originally the golden boy and jade girl of the Moon Worshipping Cave. In the future, when they broke through to the Immortal Realm, they would have the opportunity to choose one of the Eight Arts of Moon Worshipping. Yun Ni could become a Saintess, and he could also become an Elder.
But now, he could only do chores in the Abandoned Sword Villa. Just thinking about it made him feel depressed.
Yun Ni was used to him being like this. She only said a few words of comfort, "Don't worry. The Sect Master has already planned to take action when the ten years are up. At that time, as long as you return to the Sect, the Sect Master will definitely help you. But did the Sect Master tell you what preparations we should make on the day of the Ceremony? Don't mess up the Sect Master's big plan. "
Wei Yuanbao was happy. He looked around sneakily. Seeing that there was no one around, he laughed mischievously, "Junior Sister, you also received the Sect Master's order? You are next to the Third Young Master Shen, is there any important task for you? "
Yun Ni shook her head, "The Sect Master only told me to keep an eye on The Third Prince and to report back immediately if there is any news."
Wei Yuanbao slapped his thigh and laughed, "That's right! The Sect Master ordered me to open the back door of the Abandoned Sword Villa and spread this thing everywhere in the villa. It is inconvenient for you to be next to Shen Zhenyi. "
He took out a jade bottle and proudly waved it in front of Yun Ni.
In the past seven years, Yun Ni had been by Shen Zhenyi's side. She had benefited a lot and made a lot of contributions. He could only do chores, but this time was different. On the contrary, his identity could play a bigger role.
"What is this?" Yun Ni smelled a rusty and rotten aroma and reached out to take it. Wei Yuanbao hurriedly put it away and shook his head, "This is a secret of the sect. How can it be opened so easily? Wait until the day of the ceremony and see what is at the bottom, won't you know? "
Yun Ni resentfully took back her hand and laughed dryly, "I just wanted to make a joke. How can I not understand the strict rules of the sect? Senior Brother, you can do whatever you want. You will make a great contribution. "
Yun Ni couldn't find out what this thing was, so she didn't want to say more to Wei Yuanbao. She hurried back to the Dreamy Sword Villa and reported to Shen Zhenyi.
At this time, the noisy Princess Long and Cynanchum Chinense were sent out to practice swordsmanship by Shen Zhenyi. Shen Zhenyi sat alone in the hall and sipped his tea leisurely.
Yun Ni explained the situation in a few words. Shen Zhenyi closed his eyes and pondered.
"Rusty and rotten aroma?"
In Feilan Province, Qiu Yinxuan didn't think there were many options that could be used to deal with Shen Zhenyi.
So … they wanted to draw out … that thing?
Shen Zhenyi smiled and was happy instead of angry.
