"Why don't I return the Cloud-Water Sword to him?"
Initially, Qingqing was thrilled and elated to be able to merge with the Cloud-Water Sword, but now, she was no longer thrilled and happy. Other than fear, there was still fear.
In her opinion, if that old master was really Emperor You, then the Cloud-Water Sword was one of the Five Elemental Swords used by Emperor You back then. Even if she was given ten thousand guts, she dared not nurture the Cloud-Water Sword anymore.
"Are you dumb?! If we return it now, won't we be confessing without being pressed? If he communicates with the Cloud-Water Sword again, won't he know that we're suspecting his identity? How are we going to explain it then? What if he's worried that we'll expose his identity and kills us to silence us? "
"But … If we don't return it to him, I … I don't dare to nurture the Cloud-Water Sword anymore."
"Little girl, the problem now isn't whether you dare to nurture the Cloud-Water Sword or not, but that old master is on our ship right now, so we have to think of a way to make him leave! That's the key! "
"How do we make him leave? If he doesn't want to leave, we can't chase him away, right? "
Fairy Li glared at Qingqing and said, "Chase him away? To think that you dared to say that. He might be the You Emperor. Do you have the guts to chase him away? Are you tired of living? "
"What should we do then?"
At this moment, Qingqing was already panicking and out of her wits. Facing such a terrifying existence like Emperor You, she was terrified from the bottom of her heart, so much so that she dared not even think about it.
"It's unrealistic to chase him away, so we can only let him leave on his own. The problem is that we don't know when exactly he'll leave."
Fairy Li deliberated for a long time before she said, "How about this? Let's just pretend that this never happened and keep it a secret. Didn't he say that he wants us to serve him well during this period and that he'll mention his conditions when he thinks about what he needs? We'll serve him well until he mentions his conditions."
"What if he doesn't raise any conditions?"
"I don't think that's possible. If he really is Emperor You, he probably has a lot of important things waiting for him to do. He has no reason to stay on our ship. I think this is most likely a coincidence. Emperor You was bored and took a passenger ship for fun. Then, we happened to bump into him … The Feather Sword you picked up back then was the Five Elements Sword that he refined. So … he boarded our ship. Wait, this doesn't make sense either."
Fairy Li frowned and pondered hard. "No matter how free Emperor You is, he can't be so free as to take a passenger ship and hang out with a bunch of nobodies, right? Moreover, he said that he would let us serve him with good food and drinks. Does he lack good food and drinks? He even said that he would state his conditions when he thought of what he needed. For someone like Emperor You, what couldn't he get? Do you still need to raise conditions with us? Isn't she thinking too highly of us? "
"Could it be that he is unwilling to part with the Cloud Water Sword? That doesn't make sense. If he isn't willing to part with it, he could've just not sent us off. There's no need for him to talk so much nonsense with nobodies like us, right? Although our Longevity Pavilion is one of the seventy-two blessed lands, we still have some face in the great wilderness. However, this face might be great in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Emperor You, it's not even worth a fart. He even dares to burn the nine heavens, slaughter the great daos, and slash the firmament. Why would he care about our Longevity Pavilion? Let alone the seventy-two blessed lands, he wouldn't even spare a glance at the thirty-six heavenly paradises. "
"What's the reason? He said that he would let us serve him with good food and drinks. What's the reason for that? What exactly does he mean?! "
Fairy Li couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she racked her brains. All of a sudden, when she saw the Cloud Water Sword in Qingqing's hand, she seemed to have realized something and stared at Qingqing with a strange look.
Qingqing was also scared by Fairy Li's stare. She asked, "Martial Aunt, what's with that look? Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Don't tell me … He … He has taken a liking to you?"
"What!"
Qingqing was frightened by Fairy Li's words. She said, "Martial Aunt, don't talk nonsense like that!"
"What nonsense? Think about it carefully. If he's really Emperor You, he must have many important things to do. Even if he doesn't have important things to do, he wouldn't go so far as to freeload on our ship, right? He must have a purpose, and … I'm thinking that he might have taken a liking to you. Otherwise, why would he give you the Cloud Water Sword instead of giving it to me? Also … Did you forget? He even said something in front of you. He said … Any man would want to please a beautiful lady like you, and he's the same. He said it himself! "
"Martial Aunt, he was just joking. How can you take it seriously?"
"Sometimes, joking isn't a joke. It's very likely that he thinks that way. Yes, that must be it. I think he might have taken a liking to you."
"Martial Aunt, don't talk nonsense, okay?!" Qingqing was embarrassed, angry, and scared. She stomped her foot and said, "I'm scared to death. How can you still be in the mood to joke about this?"
"Qingqing, I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now. I'm being serious."
"Even if you're not joking, Emperor You wouldn't have taken a liking to me. He has the Saintess waiting for him, so how could he have taken a liking to me?!"
"It's true that the Saintess has been waiting for Emperor You. Everyone knows that she's infatuated with Emperor You. However, Qingqing, don't forget that Emperor You was famous for being a fickle man in the ancient times. It's said that when he was in the secular world, he often flirted with all sorts of women, such as the Queen of the Desolate Border, Empress Yan Luo, the Shangqing Female Sect, the Supreme of the World …"
"After arriving in the desolate lands, he didn't idle around either. If he wasn't flirting with the Saintess of this grotto-heaven, he was flirting with the Saintess of that blessed land. Just from what I heard, there were several Saintesses who had ambiguous relationships with Emperor You. And these are just the Saintesses of the Immortal Dao. The Saintesses of the Demonic Dao, Witchcraft Dao, and even the Saintesses of the Heavenly Dao have ambiguous relationships with Emperor You."
"These are only rumors, they can't be taken seriously."
"Qingqing, you're still too young. As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. Perhaps some of the rumors about Emperor You are true, but after so many years, have you seen any Saintess come out to clarify? No one. This means that those Saintesses must have had an affair with Emperor You. At least, it's not that simple, and …"
Fairy Li lowered her voice and said, "And … let me tell you, back then, Emperor You withstood the judgment of the Heavenly Dao with one hand and hugged the famous Saintess Weiyang with the other. This is not a rumor, I saw it with my own eyes."
