Li Chengfeng's eyes widened in shock. Only now did he realise that this cute, pitiful girl was not as simple as she seemed.
He asked seriously, "What do you want to do?"
"Infiltrate Hidden Beauty Court and find out Grand Senior Sister's true identity. She must have left some clues, we can't hide them all!"
He was speechless. "How do we infiltrate?
Who's going? "
Yuehan stared straight at him, her eyes filled with determination.
He immediately said, "No!
If you go, wouldn't that be sending a lamb to the tiger's mouth? "
"If there's anyone in the world who can infiltrate Hidden Beauty Court without anyone knowing, it's me!"
He shook his head. "Even if you can infiltrate, how are you going to find her? Where are you going to start?
Plus, I won't agree to such a risky move just based on a guess! "
She grabbed his hand and shook it gently, oblivious to the fact that her body was exposed. "Every sect in the cultivation world has their own forbidden grounds. Some of these grounds hide heaven-shaking treasures, some hold heaven-shaking demons, and some seal heaven-shaking secrets!
Grand Senior Sister must have a blood feud with the Spiritual Mountain Sect if she's plotting against them! "
"Moreover, I heard you say that the monster that Eldest Senior Sister set free is very likely to be the Prehistoric Monster, King Zhuyan!"
Li Chengfeng was confused. "Ancient demonic creatures?
What's that?
What's King Zhuyan? "
Yuehan said, "This is what I learned from the Zhan family's treasury. Five thousand years ago, the Great Realm of Desolation launched a large-scale invasion. At that time, the Gods and the Great Demons engaged in a bloody battle. Although the Great Demons were repelled, the Gods also fell.
Humans took the opportunity to rise. "
"It is said that the [Great Realm of Desolation] is unwilling to accept defeat. They are still scheming to make a comeback. Therefore, they will secretly send some demons to infiltrate this world in an attempt to create chaos so that they can invade again!"
"I've heard of this from storytellers but I thought it was just a play. I didn't expect it to be true!"
Yuehan said, "Where do you think the dragons and phoenixes of this world came from?"
Li Chengfeng was taken aback. "Could it be … these are all prehistoric magical creatures?"
Yuehan replied, "That's right, these are all tamed demons that were slowly deified and became the Divine Beast Totems of this world."
"What about King Zhuyan?"
Yuehan's expression was solemn, "King Zhuyan is the commander of the main force of the primitive demonic creatures, the Red. He is the king of the Zhuyan clan. Legend has it that wherever he appears, there will be disasters and wars!"
Li Chengfeng's expression froze. "You mean … Grand Senior Sister released King Zhuyan to create chaos in this world?
Why would she do that? "
Yuehan whispered, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. There are only two conclusions. First, she has a grudge against the Emperor. Second, she wants to create chaos and profit from it!"
Li Chengfeng frowned in thought. "But why would she want to start a civil war in the Spiritual Mountain Sect?"
Yuehan whispered, "I have a theory. Grand Senior Sister might have a blood feud with the Spiritual Mountain Sect, that's why she's hiding here to start a civil war.
As long as I infiltrate the place and look through every record of the Spiritual Mountain Sect for the past hundred years, I'll definitely find some clues! "
"What place?" asked Li Chengfeng immediately. "Where?"
Yuehan replied, "In the Hidden Beauty Court!
Hidden Beauty Court is responsible for all confidential documents and intelligence of the Spiritual Mountain Sect. These are stored at the Heavenly Scripture Desk on Goddess Peak.
Only those with a token and a jade token can enter. "
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly, "It must be a watertight forbidden area. How are you going to infiltrate it?"
She whispered, "I can pretend to be Grand Senior Sister …"
Li Chengfeng shot to his feet in shock. "You're crazy!
Let's not talk about how you're going to impersonate Grand Senior Sister! How are you going to guarantee that you won't be exposed? "
She stared at him. "But other than that, do you have any other ideas?"
He said without hesitation, "Even if I don't have any other ideas, I won't let you use this one!
You're just throwing your life away! "
She said angrily, "So I'm just going to sit here and wait for death?"
Li Chengfeng said domineeringly, "I don't care, you're not allowed to go!
I'll think of something!
I'm the one who decides this! "
She raged, "Who gives you the right to decide this?!"
He grabbed her chin and glared at her. "Because I'm your Young Master, your Brother Chengfeng!"
She blushed and lowered her head. "You're so shameless!"
He said seriously, "I'll say it again, you're not allowed to go!
I'm sure you'll think of something. We've been through so many dangers along the way, haven't we?! "
Yuehan nodded, "Mm, I understand."
Li Chengfeng heaved a sigh of relief and continued applying the ointment. What he did not know was that Yuehan's eyes shone with determination as she stood with her back facing him.
Yuehan knew that no matter if it was for Li Chengfeng or herself, she had to go!
He was applying the ointment when he heard a shout from outside. "Junior Brother Chengfeng, are you there?!"
"Yes, I'll be right there!
He sped up the ointment and prepared to bandage her up. Embarrassed, she clutched her chest and whispered, "You should leave now. Senior Brother Su You must be looking for you for something urgent."
Li Chengfeng responded and walked out of the room. Just as Yuehan had predicted, it was urgent.
"What …" Li Chengfeng was shocked. "Han Tianxing's mission … is now entrusted to Hidden Sword Court?"
Su You smiled bitterly. "Yes!"
Li Chengfeng raged, "Who gave the mission? Why?
These are two separate matters! "
Su You whispered, "Grand Senior Brother Qian Shanxue of Hidden Brocade Court gave the order. This … is his responsibility."
Li Chengfeng sucked in a cold breath. Even an idiot would know that this mission was extremely dangerous.
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment, then asked, "Tell me more about the mission."
"Within ten days, collect the three hundred and eighty thousand silvers owed by Tong 'an City's Zhou, Sun and Xie families."
Li Chengfeng was confused. "Isn't this supposed to be a cushy job?
Why did it fall to us? "
Su You smiled bitterly. "Junior Brother Chengfeng, Tong 'an City used to be our Spiritual Mountain Sect's territory. However, the Profound Life Sect has risen very quickly and their influence has spread to Tong' an City. These families are relying on the Profound Life Sect's support, that's why they've been in arrears for a long time."
Li Chengfeng had grown up in the martial arts world so he immediately understood. "That's why we'll definitely clash with the Profound Life Sect this time. Plus, if we ignore these families, it'll be a huge blow to the Spiritual Mountain Sect's reputation, right?"
Su You praised, "Junior Brother Chengfeng, you're very perceptive!"
Li Chengfeng raged, "Why send us on such a suicidal mission?!
Are the Martial Uncles not going to do anything? "
Su You sighed. "Qian Shanxue has already convinced them, the documents have been signed."
As he spoke, he handed the documents to Li Chengfeng. Li Chengfeng crumpled the documents in a fit of rage.
This was a revenge attack that made one's hair stand on end!
And Li Chengfeng had no way of retaliating!
Li Chengfeng asked, "Can we refuse?"
Su You shook his head. "No … if we refuse a mission from the Spiritual Mountain Sect, we'll be expelled from the sect."
Li Chengfeng's mind raced to come up with a solution but bad news kept pouring in. His mind was a mess but how could he come up with a solution in a hurry?
Just as he was thinking, his heart skipped a beat. Wait … Tong 'an … Zhou family?
F * ck, could it be Tong 'an City's Zhou family?
That's a deadly feud!
