Chapter 847: Su Yiyun's Intentions
"That's right, it's me."
Little Lorie blinked, then turned to Ye Zichen and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Do you know each other?"
After leaving the valley and following Ye Zichen for so long, Lorie was no longer the blank slate she'd once been. Although she was still pure and innocent, she could glean a few things from their conversation.
For example, Ye Zichen and this guy seemed to know each other.
"We do. Let him go."
Ye Zichen nodded. Lorie giggled and apologized to the youth, then retreated to the side.
"Lorie, you can leave. I want to talk to him alone."
"Alright." Lorie nodded obediently and left. As she left, she smiled apologetically at the youth.
She closed the door behind her.
The atmosphere in the room was momentarily silent. After a while, Ye Zichen looked away from the youth and pointed at the opposite side of the table.
"Sit."
The youth didn't refuse. He smiled calmly and sat down.
"Why are you here?" As soon as the youth sat down, Ye Zichen spoke with faint hostility. "Aren't you supposed to be an old man? How come you've suddenly become so young?"
"Are you surprised? Isn't it easy for cultivators to change their appearance? I came to see you this time, so of course I wanted to look at you the way I used to. Wouldn't that make me seem more friendly? "
In response to Ye Zichen's hostility, the youth smiled calmly, then picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of water.
"Hey, I really didn't expect you to become the Immortal Region's Emperor Ye. If I'm not mistaken, that girl just now was actually a medicine king, right? Medicine kings are incredibly difficult to obtain. I never would have guessed you'd be so lucky. "
"What exactly are you doing here?" Ye Zichen furrowed his brows.
The youth didn't answer. Instead, he kept on talking about other things.
"Zichen, don't you think this is …. Back in the Modern Realm, we probably never dreamed we'd experience all this. What we've experienced seems like something you'd only see in novels. I never would have guessed …. "
"What exactly are you doing here?" Ye Zichen's expression was unfriendly.
"How long has it been since we last had a face-to-face conversation? When we were in school …"
Bang.
Ye Zichen suddenly slammed the table and looked at the young man with hatred in his eyes.
"Don't talk to me about school. The moment you chose to go to the demons, Su Yiyun, our brotherhood was severed. What are you doing here?!"
Silence.
For a full fifteen minutes, neither of them spoke. They just stared at each other.
Ye Zichen's eyes were filled with fire.
Su Yiyun, on the other hand, was as unfathomable as water.
"You're still so impatient." After a long silence, Su Yiyun placed the cup of water on the table and sighed. "You were always like this in school, no matter what …"
"I said, don't mention the past to me."
"What exactly did you come here for? I didn't do anything to you back in the city lord's manor, and that's already out of consideration for our past friendship. Didn't you bring Black Dragon and the others back to the demon realm? Why have you appeared in Maple City and in front of me? "
To tell the truth, this was a strange feeling.
In truth, Ye Zichen still harbored some lingering feelings for Su Yiyun. More than once, he'd thought about asking Su Yiyun why he'd gone to the demons the next time he had a chance to meet him alone.
But now, his chance had finally come. Su Yiyun was right in front of him, and it was just the two of them.
Ye Zichen had a stomach full of questions, but he couldn't get them out. All he could say was extremely distant words.
Sitting across from him, Su Yiyun bit his lip, raised his eyebrows, and then chuckled.
"We finally get to meet. Do you really have to do this?"
"Of course I don't."
That's what Ye Zichen thought, but what he said was ….
"I'm Emperor Ye of the Immortal Region. You're a commander-in-chief of the demons and a formation grandmaster. Everything I do is to eradicate the demons and protect the territory of the Three Realms. Everything you do is to help the demons eradicate us and take over the Three Realms' territory. Based on this premise, do you still want me to waste my breath talking to you about the innocent past? "
"Why not? We were so close before," Su Yiyun retorted.
"Enough."
After enduring for a while, Ye Zichen couldn't bear it any longer.
"The past is the past, but now you and I are no longer the same. Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Now that I'm allowing you to sit here, it's already out of consideration for the little friendship left in the past. Just tell me your purpose for coming here and leave after you're done. I'll pretend that I never saw you. "
The hand on his thigh trembled slightly, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
Su Yiyun did his best to control his emotions. Then, he composed himself and said, "You're right.
"Since you don't want to talk, then let's not talk."
"That's for the best," said Ye Zichen as he looked ahead. "Tell me, why did you come here? I didn't even notice that you were hiding in this room just now. Could it be that you were sent by the Black Dragon to assassinate me? "
"Him?" A hint of disdain flashed through Su Yiyun's eyes. "He doesn't have the right to order me around."
"That's true. Back in the city lord's manor, you didn't care about his face at all and yelled at him. It seems you're doing quite well among the demons," laughed Ye Zichen mockingly, then clapped his hands. "I have to say, you're quite skilled!"
Su Yiyun merely smiled without saying anything. Ye Zichen spoke up once more.
Ye Zichen continued, "But you still haven't told me why you're here."
"My purpose is simple. I made it clear just now. My main reason for coming here is that we haven't seen each other in a long time. I wanted to chat with you, but you seemed rather resistant. "Su Yiyun shrugged helplessly.
"I also said that we're on opposing sides. There's nothing to talk about."
Ye Zichen smiled coldly, then said, "Don't worry.
"Since you said your main purpose was to chat, you must have a secondary purpose. Tell me."
"Secondary purpose?" Su Yiyun glanced at Ye Zichen and shrugged. "My secondary purpose is to tell you ….."
"What?"
"In three days, we demons will invade the Three Realms."
"A declaration of war?" Ye Zichen arched his brows.
