Chapter 1733 - 1039: You Like Her, Don’t You

It’s strange how Sect Master Yan, who is usually so aloof and graceful with others, seems to have a liking for teasing her.

Sui Yi chuckled, replying with a statement that made Yan Jingan laugh as well.

"Sect Master Yan is too peerless; I’m too ugly to be worthy."

It’s unimaginable that both of them, on the brink of a death crisis, still have time for lewd jokes...

After getting rid of the little turtle, Sui Yi happened to hear the Dragon Ape Stone responding to Ying Yuan.

"Give it up; that woman will never like you. She’s too popular."

Sui Yi was silent once again.

Who were they talking about?

Hopefully not her.

Ying Yuan, looking exasperated, turned around upon noticing Sui Yi glance back at him, feeling even more exasperated.

"I merely asked it how I could fulfill my wish, and that wish is revenge."

This Thatch-Pit Stone is quite the trickster, isn’t it?

Ying Yuan thought this was probably the second most awkward moment in his life; the first was the previous incident...

So he went ahead and explained.

"Revenge for your father?"

"You know?" Ying Yuan’s brow suddenly furrowed.

"If I say I know, would you silence me?"

Sui Yi casually retorted, Ying Yuan hadn’t replied yet when the Thatch-Pit Stone interjected cryptically, "He wouldn’t dare. He quite likes you."

Uh...

Sui Yi tapped on the Thatch-Pit Stone, saying, "You are locked up here for not saying what you should to that person, yet now you’re overly eager to say what you shouldn’t... you’re undoubtedly the most provocative stone in existence."

The Dragon Ape Stone was momentarily dumbfounded, saying, "How do you know? Who’s the all-knowing one here...? You’re right, that person indeed wants to know something, and I just refuse to tell him, which is why he locked me up here."

"What does he want to know?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I can set you free."

"Impossible.... You may be skillful and mysterious, but your power has not yet reached Starfall."

"I follow the technical flow."

Technical my butt!

Trying to trick me!

Though Thatch-Pit Stone didn’t trust her, it was like before—not trusting, yet willing to give it a try.

"Then you can’t deceive me; you must take me out..."

"I don’t deceive, let alone deceive a stone."

Your logic is filled with discrimination.

Thatch-Pit Stone knew it quite offended Sui Yi earlier with its remarks about affection, so it calmly said, "Then I’ll tell you, the person seeks, just like the Twin Emperors do, a sword, a sword matched only by the strongest in the world."

"Divine Sword."

Sui Yi’s simple two words left Ying Yuan and the Dragon Ape Stone both aghast.

The former was surprised that Sui Yi was preemptively informed, and the latter was shocked that Sui Yi knew about the Divine Sword.

"Yes, the Divine Sword, the First Spirit also serves as the Lord of Gods Shen Zhiyue’s sword, and only her sword is qualified to be called the Divine Sword."

"After the destruction war years ago, Shen Zhiyue was either gravely injured or perished; there is no way to verify. But one thing is certain: her Divine Sword was lost in the Human Realm."

"Shen Zhiyue’s sword represents an unrivaled power; even if it’s not as formidable as her body, it nonetheless symbolizes her might and authority, with the Divine Race revering it faithfully and the Human Race fearing it deeply. Who in the world wouldn’t want it?"

Ying Yuan said, "Then why didn’t you tell that person, but told the Twin Emperors—in the way that the Divine Sword Fragment appeared in the 11th District?"

"Because the Twin Emperors are not qualified to wield the Divine Sword. If they get hold of it, the ultimate result will be surrendering it under Divine Race’s pressure, but that person is different; if he acquires the Divine Sword, the consequences will be grave, even though it’s just a fragment."

"Who is that person?"

"I only know he’s the Mountain-Knocking Guest; as for who the Mountain-Knocking Guest is, that I do not know."

Those words carry profound meaning.

Ying Yuan secretly thought that the origins of the Mountain-Knocking Guest are not within the Dragon Ape World.

"Alright, I have answered all your questions. Can you get me out now? He’ll be back soon... I intentionally told the Twin Emperors to find the Divine Sword Fragment while he’s out..."

"Have the Twin Emperors take the Divine Sword Fragment first, and then, inevitably, they won’t hand it to the Mountain-Knocking Guest; thus they’ll clash... inevitably consuming his strength, which is beneficial to you."

"Precisely, precisely. You’re so clever; no wonder he likes you."

Ying Yuan: "....."

Do you want to get out or not!

Sui Yi laughed, "Since you can’t see through me nor probe my affairs, how can you ascertain these matters... in the future, don’t mention these things again."

She was indifferent, but the dignified Hawk Chief was increasingly embarrassed.

Yet she was surprised; this person wasn’t so thin-skinned previously.

"Well, though I can’t see through you, I can see through others; many people like you, I know..."

Here we go again!

Thud.

The book cover was flipped over swiftly with Sui Yi’s fingers.

Sui Yi ignored the Thatch-Pit Stone, "Half an hour has passed, soon the Twin Emperors will return, let’s get out first."

Sui Yi was just about to leave.

"It did say some things correctly before."

Ying Yuan’s words halted Sui Yi’s steps, and he turned back to look at him.

"Since our first meeting, it’s true that I occasionally thought of you, probably out of curiosity. Later, when you took my ring, it turned into admiration... Then the frequency of thinking about you increased. I’ve never liked anyone before, so I’m not sure if this feeling is akin to liking... But I can honestly say that I’ve indeed felt something enchanting towards you."

Ordinary women might be shy or angry, but Sui Yi tilted her head slightly, her eyes bright and clear like the full moon.

"Is this an honest confession?"

"I don’t think it’s wrong, maybe one day I will truly like you."

Ying Yuan perhaps truly had no experience in such matters, speaking without any burden, as if he could change his hostility toward Sui Yi and cooperate at any moment.

Sui Yi smiled, "Human emotions are indeed mysterious and unpredictable... As for your enchanting thoughts about me, they’re not liking, just curiosity, there’s no need to doubt yourself due to the stone’s words..."

After a pause, Sui Yi spoke, "Since this stone knows everything, it must have been born alongside the Dragon Ape World. It’s the first stone, connected to the world’s veins, capable of knowing many secrets happening above ground, but they must be things that have already happened... How could it know future events?"

Ying Yuan smiled faintly but heard from the book box inside: "But what I said is indeed something that has already happened."

"He’s already started to like..."

Sui Yi’s expression remained calm as he handed the box to Ying Yuan: "After you go out, throw it into the thatch-pit."

"Alright."

Thatch-Pit Stone: "...."

Damn you!

In the 11th Administrative District, in the barren desert, there was a mountain peak accumulated from sand and stone, at its foot and extending into the ground, there was a large pit stretching deep inside. At this moment, many people were working underground, moving ancient artifacts one by one. Of course, in the darkness of the pit’s depths, Yan Jingan was illuminated by the wall lamp, looking at the cross-legged Shi Feixuan.

She had already sent away the broken sword, and Shi Feixuan should wake up soon...

Speaking of which, to let Shi Feixuan have such an epiphany for so long, that remnant of the broken sword is too terrifying.

Just as she protected Shi Feixuan...

"He’s coming."

Yan Jingan stood up, and the Emperor’s presence had already descended outside.

So fast!

The Twin Emperors’ majestic presence frightened everyone into bowing to the ground, a natural response to being oppressed by the strong, yet Yan Jingan didn’t care, and immediately flashed outside.

The Twin Emperors appeared on either side of the cave entrance, the Dragon Emperor majestic yet extremely handsome with an imperial demeanor, while the Ape Emperor was more rugged and bold, unparalleled in dominance.

Being locked in Qi mechanism and stared at by two such overlords, the average person would be terrified.

Yan Jingan, however, leaned against the cave entrance before they spoke, seizing the initiative.

"First, I don’t want to lose my life or the lives of my people."

"Second, I’ve already sent the item away."

"Third, regardless of winner or loser in the two Emperors’ war, I hope women are not involved."

The Dragon Emperor seemed more accustomed to Yan Jingan’s uniqueness, not surprised by her words and instead just smiled, but the Ape Emperor quite disliked Yan Jingan.

"The woman inside is your weakness, if I capture her, would you still refuse to speak? You have no right to bargain with me."

"In fact, I’m not bargaining, I’d rather die broken than live in shame. Both Emperors have broad experience, surely they’ve encountered many stubborn people."

Of course, they’ve encountered them before, and the Ape Emperor met many reckless people, squinting at Yan Jingan, actually having no real reason to refuse.

The Divine Sword is of utmost importance, these ants’ lives mean nothing.

"Dragon Emperor, the woman you favor is indeed courageous, not surprising you haven’t succeeded yet."

The contempt was clear.

The Dragon Emperor remained composed, "Underestimating women too much, your wife probably wouldn’t be too happy."

The sister may not be as magnanimous as the elder sister, she’s quite narrow-minded.

And the Ape Emperor happens to fear her.

As expected, the Ape Emperor coldly snorted, "Yan Jingan, lead the way."

Yan Jingan had already sensed Shi Feixuan awakening.

"Alright."

————————

Sui Yi and the others returned to the edge of the bamboo forest but didn’t rush towards the Book Pavilion. Instead, they concealed themselves within the bamboo forest.

Originally, Ying Yuan should have been the one to leave first, but observing Sui Yi appearing to have some arrangements, he stayed.

"Although you’re formidable, since you choose the tech path, if danger arises, fighting should still be my domain."

He paused, adding, "We do share a common purpose."

At least Thousand Buddha and Starshine joined forces, which were Ying Yuan’s enemies, and coincidentally, Sui Yi also harbored grudges against Thousand Buddha.

"Thank you," Sui Yi naturally knew having him around would be more convenient.

Since staying required arrangements, outside, Sui Yi’s Magnetic Sensation had no concerns. He swiftly set up one dharma seal after another and many secret scripts.

Beside him, Ying Yuan only watched as Sui Yi’s fingers flew, each hand simultaneously tracing different runes in the air with remarkable speed, and in a blink, forming thousands of characters, chaining into secret scripts that entered the ground...

With such efficiency, how many secret scripts in an hour?

Time passed by the second.

When Ying Yuan felt the Human Extinction state within him was about to fade, Sui Yi’s fingers finally stopped, leaving one secret script above, her gaze met his.

"I think it won’t take long for Thousand Buddha and Greedy Wolf Star to make their move. If you insist on a revenge path, I can extend your Human Extinction state by two more hours. Do you want it or not?"

"I see no reason to refuse."

Hence, the secret script entered Ying Yuan’s body. The two exchanged glances and parted ways.
