Frankly speaking, the reason Ling Yun chose such a picturesque place and put in so much effort to brew such a pot of tea was partly to thank Ye Xingchen for his help, but more importantly, it was to destroy Ye Xingchen's state of mind.
Ling Yun's efforts hadn't gone to waste after all. He had achieved his goal, of course, and was secretly pleased with himself.
Ling Yun was never one to lose out, and this was even more so in an important matter like negotiation. He had to be in control of the situation and rhythm of the negotiation.
Ling Yun didn't even lift his head as he slowly poured the tea and passed it over as if nothing had happened. He then raised his right hand and made an inviting gesture. "Please have some tea, Miss Ye."
Ye Xingchen, however, didn't sit down. She still stood there, watching Ling Yun's every move. Only when Ling Yun put away the mysterious gourd did her gaze move to the teacup Ling Yun had handed over, but she didn't reach out to take it.
Under Ye Xingchen's unblinking gaze, Ling Yun leisurely poured himself another cup of tea and put the teapot back on the tray. Only then did he raise his head slightly to meet Ye Xingchen's gaze.
The two of them stared at each other for a full five seconds before Ling Yun suddenly smiled. "What, are you afraid of poison?"
"Pfft …"
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen suddenly burst into laughter. Her beautiful eyes carried a bright and beautiful smile as she glanced at Ling Yun. She sweetly said, "According to the records of the investigation, although Ling Yun's medical skills are astonishing, there has never been a record of him using poison to kill someone since his debut. I think I shouldn't be so unlucky, right?"
As she spoke, Ye Xingchen's slender body twisted and her black muslin skirt swayed lightly as she sat back down on the stone bench.
Ling Yun's mind stirred slightly. His straight eyebrows twitched slightly as he purposely let out a soft sigh of defeat. "I have to say, the Assassins Organization's investigative skills are indeed impressive."
Ling Yun seemed to have more to say, but he also seemed to be implying something. He quickly added, "The current me in the Devil Sect, especially in front of you, no longer has any secrets to speak of. I'm not much different from an invisible person, am I?"
The negotiation between the two naturally began as soon as Ling Yun said this.
As soon as both sides opened their mouths, they were engaged in a battle of words that went straight for the vitals of the other party.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xingchen had no intention of replying to Ling Yun. She raised her slender, snow-white hand and used her index finger and thumb to pick up the teacup in front of her.
Ling Yun immediately activated his Yin-Yang Eye and divine sense with all his might. He wanted to take advantage of Ye Xingchen's tea to catch a glimpse of the beauty's face.
Aren't you wearing a black veil? Didn't you say that you didn't want others to see your face? I don't believe that you can never lift that hateful veil when you're eating and drinking! '
Even if I can't see your entire face, even if I can only see your chin and mouth, this pot of tea is worth it!
As if she had long seen through Ling Yun's thoughts, a crafty smile suddenly appeared in Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes as she glared at Ling Yun.
The warning in his eyes was very obvious. There was no way he could take the opportunity to peek.
Ye Xingchen held the teacup and very naturally brought it to the tip of his nose. He seriously sniffed the fragrance of the tea through the veil, a rare look of intoxication appearing in his eyes.
"Good tea indeed!"
Ye Xingchen praised sincerely. Then, without any visible movement from her, her right hand holding the teacup disappeared before Ling Yun's eyes.
Ye Xingchen's slender, snow-white neck lifted slightly. By the time she took the teacup out from behind the veil, the teacup was already empty.
Throughout the entire process, although Ling Yun had used all his skills, he still couldn't see even an inch of Ye Xingchen's skin behind the veil. This made him very depressed.
It was very obvious that Ye Xingchen had already experienced eating and drinking with a veil on countless occasions. If she didn't want others to see her face, then no one would be able to see it.
Moreover, she had the powerful Heavenly Demon True Qi protecting her body. Even if she really did remove the veil, ordinary people would only be able to see a hazy face. It was like looking at flowers in the fog, impossible to see clearly.
Not being able to see her face was also within Ling Yun's expectations. He wasn't too disappointed, and only said with a ruminating smile, "Although this is mysterious enough, isn't it tiring?"
"A face is born to be seen by others. It's just a bag of skin, so why must it be covered up?"
Ling Yun's words were more of a sigh than anything else. He was speaking from his own feelings.
Ye Xingchen wasn't in a hurry to swallow the fragrant tea. Instead, she allowed the tea to swim between her lips and teeth. She only swallowed it in one gulp when the fragrance spread across her tongue.
As the dragon saliva flowed down her throat and into her abdomen, the spiritual energy contained in the dragon saliva instantly came into play. Under the activation of the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, it turned into strands that swam through Ye Xingchen's major meridians.
At Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen's level, they no longer needed to deliberately activate their own cultivation methods. They could maintain the circulation of their own cultivation at all times, constantly raising their cultivation.
In just an instant, Ye Xingchen felt the benefits.
Moved, Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes sparkled once more. She looked at Ling Yun and said very seriously, "The tea is excellent. Thank you."
Then, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and she said lightly, "It's not tiring. I've been used to it since I was young."
The latter sentence was naturally an answer to Ling Yun's question about the veil.
Ling Yun naturally noticed the momentary dimness in Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes, but he didn't pursue the matter. He only nodded lightly and personally poured another cup for Ye Xingchen.
"According to the records, on the twelfth of April, on the night of the birthday of Miracle Doctor Xue Xue's precious granddaughter, who is also your little girlfriend, you gave her four big gifts to congratulate her. Among them were eighteen Night-Luminescent Pearls, two stalks of thousand-year ginseng that had completely taken human form, a thousand-year Chinese knotweed, and a jade box filled with liquid.
"According to the dossier, when you opened the jade box, the entire room was instantly filled with a strange fragrance. Everyone was shocked and envious. You also made a name for yourself, successfully beating Li Youmin of the Li family, Long Tianyu of the Long family, and even Hu Shaobai, the young valley master of Miracle Doctor Gu.
"If I'm not wrong, the liquid in the jade box and the liquid you just poured into the teapot should be the same thing, right?"
Ye Xingchen lived up to her reputation as the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin. She almost instantly regained her composure and started talking about serious matters. Her beautiful eyes stared at Ling Yun without blinking. She spoke tirelessly as if she had witnessed everything that happened that night with her own eyes.
Ling Yun could only smile helplessly. He spread his hands and said, "I told you that in front of you, I'm transparent. I have no secrets to speak of."
Ye Xingchen seemed to be in a good mood as she sipped on the fragrant tea. She no longer gave Ling Yun a cold look and actually seemed to be good friends who could talk about anything with him.
Looking at Ling Yun's helpless expression, Ye Xingchen smiled apologetically and asked with some uncertainty, "This seems to be the legendary dragon saliva?"
"No, it's dragon saliva," Ling Yun said honestly.
His possession of dragon saliva was known to Du Gumo, Dongfang Ting, Miracle Doctor Xue, Xue Meining, and many of his brothers and friends. It was no longer a secret, so there was no need to hide it. Moreover, he had never intended to hide it.
Ye Xingchen was very happy with Ling Yun's honesty. She continued to ask with interest, "Did you also get it from the crater?"
Ling Yun took a sip of fragrant tea and said with a smile, "I think you already know that there's a Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell under the crater of Dragon Mountain. It's not strange to have dragon saliva there."
Even Du Gumo could see through the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell. Ling Yun naturally didn't think that the almost omniscient Ye Xingchen wouldn't know about it.
Ye Xingchen's delicate body trembled slightly. She didn't hide her laughter at all. Glancing at Ling Yun, she smiled and said coquettishly, "You sure are honest."
Ling Yun's forehead was full of black lines. He purposely frowned and said, "I'm an invisible person. I can't hide things from you even if I wanted to."
Ye Xingchen suddenly changed the topic. She stared at Ling Yun and asked, "That gourd of yours?"
Ling Yun was instantly alerted. He pretended to be casual and said, "It's just used to store the dragon saliva."
Ye Xingchen's eyes were full of smiles. She said without batting an eyelid, "But it looks very heavy."
Ling Yun thought to himself, of course he knew what Ye Xingchen was talking about.
After killing Tokugawa Muto at the peak of Heavenly Spear Peak, he immediately took out the mysterious gourd from his spatial ring. He wanted to drink the dragon saliva to recover his strength, but he was completely exhausted. He couldn't lift it at all, so he could only ask Chester to do it for him.
Who knew that Chester would make a fool of himself the first time he held the mysterious gourd? He didn't expect that the small gourd would weigh more than a thousand kilograms. As a result, he made a fool of himself and squatted on the ground.
Obviously, this scene was noticed by the meticulous Ye Xingchen.
"It's indeed quite heavy," Ling Yun said casually, skipping over the topic in one sentence.
Indeed, for the Devil Sect, which had the ability to go against the entire world of righteousness, and for the Assassins Organization, one of the top underground forces in the world, it wasn't difficult for them to investigate everything that Ling Yun did on the surface.
From this point of view, Ling Yun was really no different from an invisible person in front of the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin.
However, was Big Brother Yun really invisible? The answer was, of course, no.
Otherwise, if the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin really knew everything about Ling Yun, why would they still be sitting here talking?
Ling Yun knew that even though the mysterious gourd wasn't as heaven-defying as the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book, it was definitely an impressive magical treasure. This was one of his true trump cards, so he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal it.
Just because of the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade, Ling Yun had already become the target of the world's righteous and evil forces. If news of a treasure like the mysterious gourd were to spread, how would Big Brother Yun survive?
"You've asked me many questions since we sat down, and I've answered all of them. Now, it's my turn to ask a few questions, right?"
Ling Yun finally seized the opportunity to retaliate.
"Where the hell is Xiao Meimei?!"
