"Junior sister apprentice Jiang, junior sister apprentice Ji …"
In the underground secret tunnel, when Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin came to a secret door, a man suddenly rushed out and greeted Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin.
The man was at his 30s. With a dignified look and fair skin, he looked a bit similar to Ying Canghai. However, he was a bit more elegant. He was handsome among men. This man was the son of the head of Yin-Yang Sect and the senior fellow apprentice of Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin.
"Ah, senior brother apprentice Ying, why are you here …" Ji Yuelan greeted this man with a smile as she threw a glance at Jiang Ruoxin.
The moment this man came out, he had fixated onto Jiang Ruoxin with a fervent look.
Of course, Ji Yuelan knew what this senior brother apprentice Ying was thinking about. After staying in Yin-Yang Sect for so many years, few people didn't know what this senior brother apprentice was thinking about.
"Senior brother apprentice Ying …" Jiang Ruoxin nodded with a smile and looked very polite. However, because she was too polite, she felt a bit distant.
"I was told by my father that you two have come back and are going to negotiate something in Sun-Moon Palace. Therefore, I've been waiting for you here …" Senior brother apprentice Ying said with a simple and honest smile as his eyes were full of deep concern about Jiang Ruoxin, "I only know that you two are carrying out a task. As for the details, my father didn't tell me. I don't know whether it's smooth or not. Last time, I told my father that if there's any danger, I could also go there. However, my father said that only two junior sister apprentices are suitable for this task …"
Ji Yuelan could only let out a sigh, 'This senior brother apprentice Ying is good in everything. He has a good cultivation base and looks. Additionally, he's gentle and considerate. In the hearts of many sisters in Yin-Yang Sect, he's also a good partner. However, the fate between people is so strange. No matter how fervent this senior brother apprentice Ying was, Jiang Ruoxin didn't feel anything about him at all.'
After hearing senior brother apprentice Ying's question, Jiang Ruoxin didn't open her mouth. Only Ji Yuelan opened her mouth.
"It's a smooth task. We didn't meet any danger. Senior brother apprentice Ying, senior sister apprentice Jiang, you talk with each other. I have to go back first. I'm really tired after making so many twists and turns …"
Ji Yuelan wanted to leave first; however, her hand was caught by Jiang Ruoxin.
"Is there anything else, Senior Ying? If not, Yuelan and I will be heading back first. I'm a little tired as well …"
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm just here to greet you. Junior sister apprentice Jiang, junior sister apprentice Ji, you've been tired all the way. Hurry up and take a rest …" the man said with a disappointed look. However, he still revealed a smile as he told Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin to open the secret door. After that, he walked upstairs. Even after Jiang Ruoxin left far away, the man still gazed at Jiang Ruoxin's back in a daze.
…
The two women returned to their room through the secret passage. After closing the entrance, Ji Yuelan sighed and sent a voice transmission, "Don't you think it's a little too much to treat Senior Brother Ying like this …"
"Some things couldn't be forced. Because senior brother Ying is a good man, I couldn't cheat him!" Jiang Ruoxin also let out a sigh.
"Is this fate?" Ji Yuelan said faintly.
"If there's a fate, I will grasp it …" Jiang Ruoxin sounded pretty resolute.
"Do you think that the head and our masters would agree to transfer Yin-Yang Sect to Dragon Emperor Big Domain?"
"Not for the time being!" Jiang Ruoxin shook her head as she added, "However, I'm afraid that the head would have one of our masters follow us to Dragon Emperor Big Domain. At least, they could contact Zhang Tie first!"
"I think so too! I think we would be driven away by Butler Tang after staying in Redmountain City for a couple of days at most … "
"Let's go back to Dragon Emperor City first. Later on, they would come for us in Dragon Emperor City!"
"I don't know why, after handing in the No-Hatred Tortoise, I feel much more relaxed!"
"Do you feel that you owe too little to the head? Even if you want to elope with someone and disobey your master's order, you wouldn't feel that guilty …"
After exchanging a glance with each other, the two women revealed a smile …
…
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The arrival of the two distant relatives of Butler Tang didn't bring any difference to Ying Clan's castle. At least superficially, Ying Clan's castle was as usual. However, some people in the castle had already known that Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were back. However, that was the rule of Yin-Yang Sect. In the castle, as long as they were on the ground, they would play their roles according to their own identities. Nobody dared trespass.
Only when it was an underground sect gathering could everyone truly put down their identities above ground and meet each other sincerely with their identities within the sect.
Therefore, nobody came to ask about or disturb Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin when they lived in the small courtyard. At supper time, Butler Tang brought some sumptuous side dishes for them. However, it was not too excessive. It could be regarded as a welcome dinner for his distant relatives.
…
In the blink of an eye, it had come to the evening. In the dead of night …
Ying Clan's castle, which had been bustling for a whole day, was like a huge sleeping beast, lying dormant at the foot of the mountain. A few lanterns were hung at the entrance of the castle, and all the doors were tightly shut. Only the patrolling guards were still at their posts.
In this season, there was no mist in the mountain at night. However, Ying Clan's castle was gradually covered with a thin mist, which looked dreamy and illusionary under the moonlight. Gradually, it covered Ying Clan's castle …
A team of guards was patrolling. Unconsciously, the eyes of the head of the team of guards fell off, followed by his ears and nose. When these organs fell onto the ground, they gradually turned into blood. However, the head of the team of guards didn't feel that. He just kept walking as if he didn't feel that his organs were falling off.
The other guards behind this head of guards didn't seem to notice that either. They were still walking; however, their eyes, ears and noses fell off one after another.
Then, the skin, flesh, and internal organs of these guards melted like candles, turning into thick blood that continuously dripped onto the ground. In a short while, after walking less than thirty steps, this group of guards had lost not a single piece of flesh, turning into bloody skeletons. They wore hats, clothes, shoes, and socks as they walked, leaving a trail of black blood wherever they passed.
The bloody skeletons continued to move forward, oblivious to their surroundings. After a few steps, all the skeletons slowly dried up and turned black. Finally, starting from the legs of the skeletons, they dissipated like sand and dust. Only a pile of clothes and other items were left on the ground. A group of living people had disappeared just like that …
There were six teams of patrolling guards in the Ying Clan's Castle. Each team of guards melted and disappeared like candles as they walked, leaving no trace of their aura...
The mist surrounding Ying Clan's castle gradually increased, from thin to thick, from thin to thick, from shallow to deep. Gradually, the mist turned black, completely enveloping the entire Ying Clan's castle with a circumference of several thousand mu.
