The dozens of Jade Tripod Sect disciples were mostly young. Their strength was mostly at the half-step Heavenly Human realm.
Warriors with such strength were the most numerous in the Jade Tripod Sect. For example, Dan Xin and Yun Luo were the same.
Ye Chen's gaze was fixated on a woman among the dozens of Jade Tripod Sect disciples. He nearly could not shift his gaze away.
"Baguio!"
As he stared intently at the figure in front of him, Ye Chen slowly uttered a name.
The woman among the Jade Tripod Sect disciples was none other than Baguio who had disappeared with Ye Yao and company.
"Ye Gongzi, do you know this junior sister?" Dan Xin noticed Ye Chen's abnormality and could not help but ask.
Ye Chen stared intently at Baguio's figure and paused for a moment before saying, "Miss Dan Xin, do you know the name of your junior sister?"
Dan Xin hesitated for a moment as though she was thinking quickly. Finally, she said, "This junior sister has not been in our Jade Tripod Sect for long. It hasn't even been ten years. Her name … seems to be Baguio."
"Her name is Baguio. I'm rather familiar with her. Could it be that Ye Gongzi and Baguio know each other?" Before Dan Xin finished her sentence, Yun Luo suddenly asked with an odd expression.
Dan Xin and Yun Luo confirmed Baguio's name one after another.
With that, Ye Chen no longer had any doubts. He could not help but reveal a look of ecstasy as he said, "Of course I know her. Baguio is someone very close to me. I'll go find her immediately."
"Don't be in such a hurry."
Dan Xin grabbed Ye Chen and said with a frown, "Ye Gongzi, Baguio and the others are here in a hurry and they all look anxious. Obviously, they are on a mission. If you approach them rashly, I'm afraid it will cause a misunderstanding. You'd better wait for Junior Sister Baguio and the others to finish their mission and come back."
Although Ye Chen was impatient, he knew that Dan Xin's words were out of good intentions.
This was the Jade Tripod Sect after all. Furthermore, Baguio was now a disciple of the Jade Tripod Sect. As an outsider, it was indeed possible for a misunderstanding to arise if he were to suddenly approach her.
"Alright." After thinking about it, Ye Chen nodded.
Ye Chen was eager to meet with Baguio and ask about the whereabouts of Su Rouying and the others.
However, since he knew of Baguio's whereabouts, there was indeed no need to rush.
Furthermore, although he had only glanced at Baguio from afar, Ye Chen could already tell that Baguio's cultivation had already reached the half-step Heavenly Being realm.
Such a cultivation speed would probably make one's jaw drop in the Hidden Dragon World.
One had to know that even a genius like Ye Chen's master, Yang Xuanji, had spent more than a hundred thousand years to reach the half-step Heavenly Being realm.
As for Baguio, she had probably only used a total of ten years to cultivate from the Divine Dao realm to the half-step Heavenly Being realm.
There was a difference of ten thousand times between a hundred thousand years and ten years.
Ye Chen would never believe that Baguio's talent was so much greater than Yang Xuanji's.
His master, Yang Xuanji, was definitely one of the top geniuses in the Hidden Dragon World.
His talent was definitely not weaker than Baguio's.
However, the cultivation speed of the two was still so far apart.
The only explanation was that the two were in different environments.
If Yang Xuanji came to the Heavenly Being Continent, he should be able to become a half-step Heavenly Being expert in a short time.
In addition, Baguio could reach the half-step Heavenly Being realm, which meant that Su Rouying, Ye Yao, Yan Xiu, and the others who came to the Heavenly Being Continent with Baguio might have reached the half-step Heavenly Being realm.
A half-step Heavenly Being expert could live up to five hundred years in the Heavenly Being Continent.
If they were all half-step Heavenly Being experts now, then Ye Chen would not have to worry about their lifespan running out and dying.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly felt relaxed, and an unnatural smile appeared on his face.
Ye Chen did not notice that Yun Rou, who was standing beside him, was looking more and more strange.
Dan Xin and Yun Rou took Ye Chen to the mountainside of the Jade Tripod Mountain. They stopped in front of a tall tower and said, "Ye Gongzi, I'll have to trouble you to stay here for a few days. I can help you contact Junior Sister Baguio. Once she comes back, I'll inform Young Master immediately."
"Okay, thank you, Miss Dan Xin," Ye Chen said gratefully.
After exchanging a few words with Ye Chen, Dan Xin turned and walked out of the tower.
As soon as she went out, a blue figure stopped in front of Dan Xin and said eagerly, "Senior Sister, have you settled Ye Chen?"
"Although Ye Gongzi is strong, he is not a difficult person to serve. Junior Sister, didn't you just say that you had something important to do and needed to leave in advance? Why did you come back?" Dan Xin said to the person in front of her with a smile.
The blue figure that appeared was none other than Yun Rou, who had just found an excuse to leave.
Yun Rou had an odd expression as she pulled Dan Xin and walked into the distance. As she walked, she mumbled softly, "Senior Sister, aren't you a little too ill-informed? Don't tell me you don't know who Baguio is?"
"Baguio?"
Dan Xin was taken aback as she said, "Isn't she a disciple of our Jade Tripod Sect? If that's the case, I have to quickly inform Ye Gongzi, lest he has too much Dan Xin."
"Baguio is obviously a disciple of our Jade Tripod Sect, but her identity is no trifling matter. According to what I know, her true form seems to be a Nine Netherworld Sacred Dragon," Yun Rou said with an increasingly odd expression.
When Dan Xin heard this, she said in surprise, "What?
Nine Netherworld Sacred Dragon? Doesn't that make her the same as Senior Brother Duan Long? "
"That's right. Senior Brother Duan Long is one of the top ten geniuses in our Jade Tripod Sect. It's said that Senior Brother Duan Long can break through to the Heavenly Human realm at any time and become a true Heavenly Human. Furthermore, because Baguio and Senior Brother Duan Long share the same true form, Senior Brother Duan Long is rather concerned about her. This is a secret that nearly everyone in our Jade Tripod Sect knows. Yet, Senior Sister, you cultivate in seclusion every day without even knowing this," Yun Rou said with a grin.
Dan Xin frowned when she heard this. "If what you say is true, wouldn't that be troublesome? It's already been confirmed that Ye Gongzi and Junior Sister Baguio are just ordinary friends. If the two of them have nothing to do with each other, it would be fine. But if the two of them have an intimate relationship, wouldn't that be terrible? How could Senior Brother Duan Long give up just like that?"
Yun Rou chuckled and said, "That's right. Senior Sister, you have finally come to your senses. No matter what, Senior Brother Duan Long will absolutely not give up on Baguio.
And there's definitely something fishy going on between this Ye Chen and Baguio. If the three of them were to encounter each other, there would be quite a show to watch. "
With a chuckle, Yun Rou curled her lips before continuing, "Although this Ye Chen is very powerful and has long become a quasi-Heaven, from how he was nearly beaten to death by the Fire Demons, it's obvious that his strength is definitely inferior to Senior Brother Duan Long's. If Senior Brother Duan Long were to know of his existence, he might be secretly killed by Senior Brother Duan Long."
"Don't speak nonsense. Don't spread this matter. I'll investigate the situation first. If it's really as you say, we can only think of other ways to prevent Ye Gongzi and Senior Brother Duan Long from coming into conflict," Dan Xin said with a solemn expression.
Yun Rou curled her lips and said, "Got it. However, World, for you to be so concerned about this Ye Chen, don't tell me you have developed feelings for him?"
