In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Wuchen stayed at home all day and rarely went out. The madman that was imprisoned in Nanhuangzong was only casually talked about by two people from Nanhuangzong when they had nothing to do. Among the daily intelligence reports, this kind of useless information was so small that it could be completely ignored. But after Ye Wuchen scanned through it, he read it again and again. One by one, bold conjectures were pieced together in his brain at an astonishing speed.
"Are you trying to say that he …"
Ye Wuchen raised his hand and interrupted her, "Sigh! It's better if you don't say it out loud. This is just a random guess of mine when I'm bored. Just listen to it. If the truth I guessed was just a joke, wouldn't I be making a fool out of myself? Just take it that I'm talking nonsense in front of you today, hehehehe. "
Shui Mengchan slowly sat down. Separated by a layer of pink gauze, her watery eyes that kept trembling stared at the man on the other side of the gauze. Without any evidence, just based on a piece of news that seemed to be completely unrelated to others, he made such a shocking hint to her. However, he said it with incomparable calmness and certainty, with even deeper confidence. She didn't know where his confidence came from.
She adjusted her somewhat chaotic breathing for a while, and quietly said, "Ye Gongzi, Mengchan can't resist your plan to sow discord. I only hope that what you guessed is false. Ye Gongzi, frankly speaking, the person that Mengchan admires the most in this life, is none other than you. The only one that I'm afraid of, is you. "
Since ancient times, there have been countless schemes to sow discord in all kinds of battles. Once it was successful, the enemy's vitality would be greatly damaged without moving a single soldier. And Ye Wuchen's arrival this time was a blatant plot to sow discord. But Shui Mengchan willingly fell into the trap.
Schemes were hard to guard against. However, this overt plot had directly destroyed her mental defenses.
"Oh? I don't understand. I'm just a useless person. I have nothing to do with Nanhuangzong. I don't have any enmity with you. I can't even say that I want to avoid you. How would I dare to sow discord? "Ye Wuchen said innocently.
"If you are a good-for-nothing cripple, then there will be no one useful in this world. I didn't see your ambition three years ago. But now, I see it. Besides being the Daughter of Heavenly Punishment, I don't know what else you're hiding. However, based on the fact that you can obtain information about me, Nanhuangzong, at the very least, you still have an intelligence network that I don't know about. As for the scandal between Lin Xiao and Lin Xiu a month ago, I already know that it was your friend Cold Cliffs who did it, and the series of disasters that happened to the Lin family after that were really strange. It's a pity that I didn't manage to find any clues as to what the mystery behind this is. I can only say that what you've done is really flawless. Just based on the fact that you can hide from my eyes, what you possess is far more than what you seem on the surface. " Shui Mengchan said slowly. Her gentle and beautiful eyes were filled with sharpness. "Now, even I, Nanhuangzong, have become one of your targets."
"Oh, you think too highly of me. If you're still worried, I can swear to you right now … Unless you, Nanhuang Suzerain, provoke me, otherwise, I, Ye Wuchen, will never offend you, Nanhuangzong. Phew, I'm afraid that even you, the princess of the Southern Emperor, don't know how powerful Nanhuangzong is. Even if I, a sickly little grass, really have the heart, I can't shake a big tree like you. "He smiled casually.
Shui Mengchan's eyes were filled with astonishment. She was surprised that Ye Wuchen would say such a thing. However, she still didn't think that her feeling was wrong … After a short moment of silence, she asked, "Ye Gongzi, what do you think of the Evil Sect?"
Ye Wuchen thought for a while. He raised his head and said, "A force that's preparing to cover the sky."
This shocking answer didn't move Shui Mengchan. The arrogant words that the Evil Emperor said at the Tianchen Magic Martial Meet had spread all over the world. There were only a few people who didn't know about it. His words had already made his intentions clear. The shadow that the Evil Sect cast on the entire Tianchen Continent was getting bigger and bigger.
"If that's the case, then how should I, Nanhuangzong, deal with it?" Shui Mengchan asked. After the Tianchen Magic Martial Meet, the Evil Sect, who had revealed their powerful fangs, gave her a heavy pressure. She longed for Ye Wuchen's answer. When she was in contact with him, she vaguely experienced a subtle feeling of "omnipotence".
"Are you afraid?" Ye Wuchen didn't answer immediately. He smiled with a hint of mockery.
"… For thousands of years, there hasn't been anything that could pose a sufficient threat to us. But the Evil Sect had only appeared for a year, but it was widely rumored that they were a force that was on par with us. Where did they come from, where did they live, where did they get their strength, who is the Evil Emperor … We actually couldn't find any trace of them. Even if I'm not afraid, I can't help but worry. "Shui Mengchan said frankly.
"I think that you, Nanhuangzong, must have spent a lot of effort on the Evil Sect, but to no avail. Since that's the case, why don't you make preparations and quietly wait for them to appear? "
Shui Mengchan didn't reply. Instead, she suddenly asked, "… Then I wonder what is the relationship between you, Ye Gongzi, and the Evil Sect?"
"My relationship with the Evil Sect? I don't understand this sentence. "Ye Wuchen raised his eyebrows.
Shui Mengchan said lightly, "During the Tianchen Magic Martial Meet, Cold Cliffs addressed the Evil Emperor as his master. The descendant of the Sword God, Chu Jingtian, also has an extraordinary relationship with the Evil Sect. Your two friends also have an extraordinary relationship with the Evil Sect. Mengchan can't help but think about this."
"Hahahaha …" Ye Wuchen seemed to have heard the funniest joke. He threw his head back and laughed. "Fairy Shui, according to what you said, does that mean that Chu Jingtian's grandfather, Chu Cang Ming, also has a great relationship with the Evil Sect? Heh … Evil Sect? I, Ye Wuchen, am used to being free. I'm someone who doesn't want to be controlled by anyone. If I want to join the Evil Sect, I'll have to become the Evil Sect's Emperor. "After he finished speaking, his smile became even weirder.
Shui Mengchan's suspicions were immediately reduced by more than half. She believed that Ye Wuchen was definitely not someone who was willing to be under someone else's command. Everyone in the Evil Sect was the Evil Emperor's servant. There was no way he would willingly be a servant.
However, even if she had to think about it for another ten days and ten nights, she would never think that Ye Wuchen was the Evil Emperor. Take Crown Prince Feng's wedding and the appearance of the Evil Emperor at the Tianchen Magic Martial Meet. Back then, Ye Wuchen had been leisurely staying with the Yeh family. There was no way they could be the same person.
"I've said what I wanted to say. You're free to do what you want. Oh, by the way, I rambled on about your father's death the other night … I take back what I said. "Ye Wuchen smiled mysteriously and walked out with Oculum's help. The wooden wheels rubbed against the sandalwood floor with a soothing sound.
"On the surface, you have everything that an ordinary woman can only dream of, or even dream of, but you have it all. You're a perfect woman. You shouldn't have a tragic life where you're toyed with. Put down what you're doing for now and live for yourself this once. " Pushing open the door, Ye Wuchen turned around and said a few words before leaving Shui Mengchan's sight.
In the silence, Shui Mengchan's heart was in a mess.
"Ling 'er!" Shui Mengchan got up and called out.
"Your Highness," Shui Ling 'er answered respectfully as she walked in.
"It's a full moon tonight. I haven't had a reunion with my parents for a long time." She sighed.
"… I'll get ready right away." Shui Ling 'er knew right away that she wanted to go back to Nanhuangzong, so she stepped out.
Shui Mengchan's eyes flickered, and her clear eyes rippled with ripples. "Ye Wuchen, are we enemies or friends? What do you want … "

At the same time, in an unknown corner of Tenryū Province.
In the quiet and elegant study, there was only the uniform sound of a brush brushing against a piece of paper. A tall, fair-faced man in his fifties stood there quietly, holding a brush in one hand and the other hand behind his back. He was slowly painting on a piece of paper hanging on the wall. He was tall and handsome, serious in speech and manner. His calm eyes were distant and focused, as if he was carefully looking at the traces of his brush, but also as if he was looking through the wall and looking further ahead.
The brush in his hand moved to the right and then left the paper. The middle-aged man's gaze also froze. What he wrote was a big "water" character. Every few days, he would write this word on the wall. It had been like this for decades.
"Knock knock …"
Behind him, there were two light knocks on the door. The middle-aged man didn't even turn his head. His eyes moved slightly and he said casually in a low voice, "Come in."
The door was opened, and a slightly shorter, slightly older middle-aged man walked in slowly. When his feet stepped on the ground, there was no sound at all. His gaze fell on the word that had just been written, and he immediately praised, "Good! It's round and flexible, it's obvious that you've reached the ninth level of the Water Jade Technique … Sect Leader, I didn't think that you would have a breakthrough in less than ten years! "
"Hehehehe." The middle-aged man smiled and turned around. "Yunpo, it seems that I'm not the only one who has had a breakthrough recently."
Shui Yunpo responded with a faint smile. "Compared to Sect Leader, my realm is still far from yours." Staring at the big "water" character on the wall, his eyebrows sank. His tone changed and he said slowly, "Sect Leader, it's been twenty-three years. Just as we were about to succeed, the Evil Sect appeared."
"Evil Sect?" Shui Yuntian's expression froze, then relaxed again. He said casually, "The Evil Sect is nothing to be afraid of. The Evil Sect has the Northern Emperor's Bow that can break through Luochen Cliff. Even if the Evil Sect doesn't provoke the Northern Emperor Sect, the Northern Emperor Sect will be unable to restrain themselves one day. If they fight, the result will only be … the Evil Sect being destroyed, and the Northern Emperor Sect suffering great losses. The appearance of the Evil Sect isn't a bad thing. "
"Even so, that old man Yan Duan Hun isn't easy to deal with either. He's also thinking of this. Otherwise, there wouldn't be no movement after so long. The Evil Sect's ambitions have been completely exposed during the Heavenly Star Magic Martial Meet. If they provoke us, the Northern Emperor Sect will definitely watch from the side and reap the benefits. "Shui Yunpo said.
Shui Yuntian's calm eyes became as sharp as an eagle's. "The enemy is in the dark, so am I. The Evil Sect's concealment skills are shocking, but it's a fool's dream for them to figure out the strength of our Nanhuangzong. If that Evil Emperor isn't a brute, he should know that if he can't figure out the opponent's strength, then whoever moves first will be the one to be forced into a passive position. Do they really think that just because they have four God Realms, they have the right to challenge us? The Northern Emperor Sect and the Evil Sect's silence is because they're waiting for a chance. As for us, aren't we the same? "
