Outside the Three World Island, Jiu Yan finally returned after more than a month.
Lu Ye personally came out to welcome her, accompanied by Chu Shen.
In mid-air, Jiu Yan stood quietly with a complicated expression, but more than that, she was annoyed.
She was not angry at Lu Ye. She had already understood the cause and effect of the previous turmoil. What Lu Ye had done was a last resort. No matter who it was, they would not have allowed themselves to be trampled on by others in such a situation.
She was angry at Yuan Du.
In order to transfer her away from the Three World Island, Yuan Du had spent a lot of effort and finally achieved his wish. Moreover, Yuan Du had joined forces with Zi Xuan's Demon Venerables, completely ignoring the rules set by their own galaxy and bullying the weak.
And the result? In the end, he had died, and the strength of their own galaxy had been greatly reduced.
Jiu Yan felt aggrieved to be in the same galaxy as such people.
When she received the news, she could not believe it and hurried back. After seeing Yuan Se and the others, she confirmed that the rumors were true.
In less than two months after she left the galaxy, the entire Wanxiang Sea had changed. Their own galaxy had completely lost control of the Wanxiang Sea.
Thinking back to how Yuan Se and the others had tried to persuade her before she came here, she felt it was funny.
Now, the news of the Three World Island's Lu Ye holding a Starry Sky Treasure had spread everywhere. Yuan Se and the others were in a constant state of panic, afraid that Lu Ye would use the treasure to attack their realms. If that happened, they would not be able to resist. Yuan Se had almost died at Lu Ye's hands before, so he still had lingering fears.
Therefore, they had been gathering in the Yiyuan Realm for a period of time.
Those people no longer hoped to reclaim the right to rule the Wanxiang Sea. They only hoped that the enmity between them and the Three World Island would end here. In the future, they would live peacefully in their own realms and the Three World Island would not find trouble with them.
Jiu Yan had to come because the Three World Island had nominally worshipped her. It would be unreasonable if she did not show up when such a big change happened in the Wanxiang Sea. Secondly, Yuan Se and the others also hoped that she could come and persuade them.
"Now that you're Sunshine, you don't have to call me Senior anymore. Let's talk as peers." Jiu Yan suppressed her thoughts and spoke slowly.
Thinking back, she had wanted to take Lu Ye in as a disciple and teach him some pointers. Who would have thought that he would have already advanced?
This speed was simply too fast.
Lu Ye blinked his eyes and readily accepted her advice. "Senior Martial Sister, you must be tired from your journey. Please come in for a chat." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand.
Jiu Yan nodded slightly and walked over.
After stepping into the Three World Island, he inadvertently glanced in the direction of the Spirit Jade mine. That was where Ma Bin was recuperating.
Since that great battle, he had been staying on the Three World Island and had not returned to the Merfolk Territory. Anyway, to him, it did not matter where he healed. It had been inconvenient before, but now it did not matter.
After a short while, the host and guests took their seats in the guest hall.
Jiu Yan glanced at Chu Shen. "Get out. I have something to say to your brother."
The corner of Chu Shen's eyes twitched. His mind was in a mess. Lu Ye was his brother and the one speaking was his mother. Just now, his mother wanted to talk to his brother as equals. What kind of relationship was this?
But since Jiu Yan had spoken, how could he dare to disobey? Moreover, he could also see that his mother didn't seem to have any intention of making things difficult for his elder brother. Thus, he felt a lot more at ease. After bowing, he winked at Lu Ye before withdrawing.
The hall was silent for a moment.
After a while, Jiu Yan suddenly spoke, "You've got guts. The treasure isn't here. Aren't you afraid that I'll attack you and kill you?"
"Senior Martial Sister, are you going to do that?" Lu Ye looked at Jiu Yan.
"Do you think I won't?"
Lu Ye smiled. "If Senior Martial Sister wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have come here so openly. And even if Senior Martial Sister did kill me, what good would it do you? To be honest, that treasure doesn't actually belong to me. So even if someone kills me, that treasure will still be guarding the Three World Island. "
Jiu Yan was surprised. "That treasure doesn't belong to you?"
Lu Ye shook his head. "That's … the pet beast of a relative of mine. I only borrowed it for a while."
"Relative …" Jiu Yan observed his expression and tone. "She's probably your woman, isn't she?"
"We're not married. We're not married." Lu Ye was a little embarrassed.
"Hmph." Jiu Yan snorted. "I was wondering why I didn't see any treasures on the Three World Island. So that's why."
"Senior should know about the Merfolk Tribe. Something happened to her in the past and she's been cultivating there. She only came out of seclusion this time."
The cultivators from Che Ling Realm who were stationed on the Three World Island had all been to the Merfolk Tribe's territory. Some of them even benefited from the Conch Palace, so Jiu Yan wasn't completely ignorant of the Merfolk Tribe's situation.
Jiu Yan clearly didn't want to talk about this. She changed the topic. "Now that the Three World Island controls the Omniscient Sea, what plans do you have for the future?"
Lu Ye asked, "Senior Martial Sister, do you have any good suggestions?"
Jiu Yan's tone was strange. "Don't go too far. I'm the Omniscient Hikari! Our galaxy suffered the greatest loss in this chaos. I didn't make an enemy out of you because of Shen 'er. How dare you ask for my opinion? Do you really think I'm the Omniscient Hikari? "
Lu Ye's expression was bitter. "Senior Martial Sister, please don't blame me. I'm just at a loss for what to do after suddenly ascending to such a high position. Senior Martial Sister, you know that the cultivators of the Three World Island all come from remote places. That place hasn't even had a Hikari before. This time, I was lucky enough to gain the recognition of many fellow cultivators and gain control of the Omniscient Sea. However, the foundation of the Three World Island is weak. Now, we only have three Hikari, and they've all just ascended. They don't have much experience and haven't experienced much. So when Senior Martial Sister asked me about my plans, I really don't know what to say."
He looked so miserable. If someone who didn't know better heard him, they might actually believe him.
But after thinking about it carefully, everything he said was true. But when put together, it felt a little strange.
"Isn't there still Ma Bin?" Jiu Yan asked slowly. When Ma Bin was mentioned, she suddenly became angry. She snorted. "The Azure Demon King is famous in the universe. With a mainstay like him, what are you worried about?"
She had been on the Three World Island all this time. She didn't realize the relationship between the Three World Island and Ma Bin at all. She even hid him in the Mermaid Territory.
"Senior Ma Bin hasn't recovered from his injuries yet. Moreover, the Azure Demon King is notorious. It's not a problem to ask him to kill people, but he can't manage a treasure like the Omniscient Sea." Lu Ye looked distressed. Suddenly, his expression changed. He looked up at Jiu Yan. "Senior Martial Sister, why don't you help me?"
Jiu Yan was stunned. She stared at Lu Ye. After a long while, she said, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
She came here to see the changes in the Omniscient Sea with her own eyes. Secondly, she was entrusted by Yuan Se and the others. After all, it was the Hikari of the galaxy. She couldn't ignore Yuan Se and the others, even if she was extremely unwilling.
She didn't expect Lu Ye to make such a suggestion!
With her status as the Omniscient Hikari, it was destined that she wouldn't have any close ties with the Three World Island in the future, let alone help Lu Ye manage the Omniscient Sea.
In her opinion, Lu Ye's suggestion was simply unrealistic.
Lu Ye didn't seem to notice. She picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip. Then, she said slowly, "The Omniscient Sea is the largest top spiritual island in the Omniscient Sea. It's also the symbol of the Omniscient Sea. In the previous battle, the people on the Omniscient Island were plunged into misery and suffering. Now, there are many things waiting to be done. This is the loss of the Omniscient Sea and the entire universe. Although there are a few other spiritual islands like the Three World Island on the Omniscient Sea, without the Omniscient Island, the flow of many goods will not be smooth. This is extremely detrimental to the development of the Omniscient Sea. If Senior Martial Sister is willing, I can let you manage the Omniscient Island. With your status, you can completely rebuild the Omniscient Chamber of Commerce."
"Rebuild the Omniscient Chamber of Commerce?" Jiu Yan's expression changed.
"Yes." Lu Ye nodded. "The Omniscient Chamber of Commerce has existed for so many years. It has many channels and connections that belong solely to it. This is something that no other force can compare with. Because of the previous incident, the Omniscient Chamber of Commerce only exists in name. However, if Senior Martial Sister is willing to step forward at this time, with your background and strength, the Omniscient Chamber of Commerce can be easily rebuilt."
Jiu Yan remained silent. She had to admit that Lu Ye's suggestion was very tempting.
An expert like her had no interest in external things, and she didn't care about the survival of a chamber of commerce. However, if she could take back the Omniscient Island from Lu Ye, it would be beneficial for her.
Firstly, the Omniscient Island had the largest spiritual jade vein in the entire Omniscient Sea. She could cultivate there.
Secondly, taking back the Omniscient Island would also restore the Omniscient Galaxy's reputation. Although they would lose the right to rule the entire Omniscient Sea, at least they would still be able to control the Omniscient Island.
Thirdly, the Omniscient Chamber of Commerce brought in enormous profits every year. It would be extremely beneficial for the future development of cultivators in the galaxy.
The Omniscient Chamber of Commerce had indeed lost a lot of resources and personnel in this incident, but its foundation was still there. As long as she spread the word, the major realms in the galaxy would definitely support her. Rebuilding the Omniscient Chamber of Commerce would be a piece of cake.
This was her unique advantage. No one else would be able to do the same.
Jiu Yan glanced at Lu Ye, then recalled his pitiful act from before. She suddenly realized something. "You've been planning this for a long time?"
Lu Ye's expression was solemn. "Senior Martial Sister, you've misunderstood me. I only came up with this idea on the spur of the moment."
"Ha …" Jiu Yan chuckled. She naturally didn't believe his nonsense.
How could such a thing be decided on the spur of the moment? He must have thought it through long ago. It could even be said that Lu Ye had been waiting for her all this time.
"You … are willing to part with it?" Jiu Yan asked Lu Ye.
This was the Omniscient Island, the symbol of the Omniscient Sea. It was inconceivable that Lu Ye would be willing to give it to her.
Lu Ye said, "The Omniscient Island is indeed precious, but it depends on who has it. If it was in the hands of the Three Realms Island, it would be a top spiritual island. However, in the hands of Senior Sister, it is the symbol of the Omniscient Sea."
Rebuilding the Omniscient Chamber of Commerce wasn't something that could be solved by force. There were too many things involved. Only someone like Jiu Yan, who came from the galaxy, could quickly grasp the channels and connections left behind by the Omniscient Chamber of Commerce. (End of Chapter)
