Chapter 1747 - 1050: Anyway, You All Know

After a pause, Sui Yi glanced around, while Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan assessed her changes from the perspective of Twin Dragon World.

But Yi wasn’t the same; she clearly understood what every change in Sui Yi signified.

At this moment, she leaned against the wall, while Yan Jingan sat inside the tea room drinking tea.

The four of them each had their own thoughts, yet all heard Sui Yi’s calm, cool words.

"If one day the High Priest truly returns, then he will surely be someone who holds you dear."

The longest confession of love would certainly not be so composed and tranquil, but it must be the tenderest confession.

All four present were moved...

However, Yan Jingan quickly chuckled, "Your words might not be much appreciated by others."

Sui Yi naturally knew why.

Because....

Ice Venerable and Yin Li had just arrived.

Hearing Sui Yi’s words, both were taken aback, the latter stood silently outside the door, as Ice Venerable entered and threw the Dragon Ape Stone on the ground.

"The Emperor and Empress decided that it would be safest to keep this all-knowing Dragon Ape Stone with you, to prevent it from being used by some people to learn secrets they shouldn’t know."

Sui Yi: "You could use it yourselves."

"It doesn’t speak, it only takes a liking to you, how do we use it?"

Ice Venerable said irritably, as they were all acquaintances, there was no need for formalities. She walked in and took a glass of water, drinking while turning to look at Sui Yi.

"The Greedy Wolf Star has spit out Shura, but Shura is only using our locals to act now, the main forces haven’t moved, what do you think?"

Sui Yi sat on the cushion, twirling the teacup in her hand,

The open glass door made a crisp knocking sound.

"They will come soon... I will handle them, as long as the Dragon Ape maintains the current situation."

So certain?

Ice Venerable was surprised, and Yin Li, outside, was also somewhat amazed.

However, this was indeed good news for the Dragon Ape, as they had no extra capacity to deal with these external forces.

"You have quite a few people, but not many, are you confident?"

Sui Yi smiled slightly, "Do you want to help me?"

Uh...

Ice Venerable calmly said, "I didn’t mean that, but if you ask me, I wouldn’t mind lending you a hand."

This manner was truly unique to Ice Venerable, so proud, just say you want to help, wouldn’t that be enough?

Still asking you.....

Yan Jingan laughed first.

Ice Venerable remained expressionless, displaying an attitude of waiting for a request, yet....

"Though you say you don’t want to, both your heart and body are very honest..."

The Dragon Ape Stone suddenly blurted out, and Ice Venerable’s expression froze, causing everyone inside and outside to laugh.

Sui Yi propped her chin, her eyebrows slightly arched, "Ah, is that so?"

Ice Venerable turned to ask Yin Li outside: "Yin Li, do you know where our Dragon Ape’s foulest pit is?"

Yin Li helplessly entered the door and said, "It’s just nonsense from a stone."

"I’m a stone, but not nonsense, though it’s strange.... I can’t see your past and future, which means you..."

As Yin Li’s face changed, the Dragon Ape Stone was suddenly enveloped by a layer of gelatinous liquid energy, rendering it silent.

"A naturally gifted stone that knows not destiny but is aware of human affairs, you know what not to say, that’s good, but some things you say too much, the past relationships, even if you don’t say, others might know, knowing isn’t necessarily a good thing either."

"Being strange yet perceptive, understanding people’s hearts, this is your best way to cultivate."

The Dragon Ape Stone had seen Sui Yi’s gentle side before. Although it feared this person’s mystery, it felt unthreatened. It then realized that this person was not a benevolent character; just the light glance was enough to make it feel apprehensive.

— This person was warning it.

"Alright... I won’t speak, since you all know in your minds..."

Hehe, this sentence hit some people’s weak spots, making Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan’s expressions somewhat unnatural.

This stone is truly unlikeable...

"But you must take me with you... I don’t have any combat ability. If another Tai Yuan comes, I’ll be locked up for thousands of years again..."

Sui Yi also thought of this. Although the Dragon Ape Stone wasn’t much use to her people, their goal wasn’t in the Dragon Ape Realm, but it was important for Shura and others.

— Especially since they wanted to find the remaining fragments of the Mind Sacrifice Broken Sword.

"You are not suited to stay by my side... I am not a normal person, some prophetic treasures gradually lose their spiritual energy when with me..."

She was the Second Spirit and fundamentally belonged to the same system as the Dragon Ape Stone. It wouldn’t show in the short term, but over time, the Dragon Ape Stone’s special abilities would gradually fade.

Indeed, these words frightened the Dragon Ape Stone.

"However, I will find you an owner..."

"Eh, okay, then find me someone closest to you, preferably a woman, pretty, gentle..."

These requests seemed quite excessive, especially the one about being the closest to you, making everyone’s expression in attendance become strange.

They looked at each other...

Yan Jingan found it amusing, "Do you want to choose someone from us?"

"Not quite... there should be others, right?"

The Dragon Ape Stone felt that seeking an owner required diligence.

As they spoke, Ice Venerable and others felt that the stone had refreshed their limits of understanding shamelessness.

Utterly shameless.

Was this a consort selection?

Just as they spoke...

Someone indeed came from outside.

Pu Qinghan smiled slightly, with Li Luo, Chu Yezui, and Yao behind her.

The three beauties were no less attractive than the Ice Venerable and others, each unique in their own way, not to mention the enticing presence of Yao and Ye Zixu.

However, this was the first time Yan Jingan saw people of Sui Yi besides Yi.

Sui Yi knew that the urgency of Greedy Wolf Star’s actions was partly due to these individuals working in the Beast Forest, but the Ice Venerable and others were unaware. She only knew there were originally three companions beside Sui Yi: one was Yi, and the others a man and a woman, finally seeing them now.

Ha, truly a consistent display of beauty.

The Ice Venerable turned her head to look at Yi.

"I guess you used disguise, too."

Yi said nothing, lifting off the Human Skin Mask.

Such a classic way of disguise.

Revealing a delicate, indifferent face.

"We wanted to help, unexpectedly you’ve already resolved everything.... Did you get the item?"

Pu Qinghan had already seen the ring in Sui Yi’s hand.

"Yes..."

There were already many people in the living room, making the place lively.

Sui Yi was the host, propping her chin, smiling gently, "It’s about time, would you all like to stay for dinner?"

With such an invitation...

The Ice Venerable glanced at the crowd present, the scenery of beautiful men and women was breathtaking....

"Sure."

Upon closer inquiry, chuckling along, not one among them had decent cooking skills.

Sui Yi was helpless, "Should I do it myself then?"

"You’re not suited."

Yin Li suddenly spoke, "You’re not suited for cooking, let me do it."

Sui Yi and others were a bit surprised, although they hadn’t intended for Sui Yi to cook, Yin Li’s attitude seemed almost inherited from the Dragon Queen....

Indeed, perhaps the Dragon Queen said something.

Yin Li had always respected the Dragon Queen.

But... Could a Dragon Maiden really cook?

Everyone was skeptical.

But in the end, it wasn’t Yin Li who acted, but Ye Zixu.

—After all, he was chosen as the comprehensive butler of Zhiyuan Mansion, managing tasks like laundry and cooking single-handedly, leaving no room for others.

And given the number of people, hot pot was the most suitable...

Ye Zixu prepared the hot pot, with Shi Qingxuan and others assisting on the side...

In the corridor of the courtyard, Sui Yi had changed outfits and left the room, just in time to see Yin Li leaning against a corridor pillar, her gaze a bit empty.

Until Sui Yi appeared beside her.

The book was handed to her.

Yin Li turned to look at her.

"Why give it to me?"

Inside was the Dragon Ape Stone.

Previously, she had known that Sui Yi intended to choose a master for the Dragon Ape Stone but hadn’t expected it to be herself.

"You’re the most suitable."

Behind the mask, those eyes were looking at the captivatingly beautiful Sui Yi, the nearby bamboo leaves rustling softly, giving off a faint bamboo fragrance...

"You know?" Yin Li’s voice carried ambiguity.

In her youth, after learning about her own origins, she repeatedly fell into dreams of chaos, with such an unbearable lineage, what did she really count as?

Dragon Emperor’s daughter? Ape Emperor’s daughter?

Neither...

"Yes" Sui Yi didn’t deny, "Your bloodline is very peculiar."

"The Imperial Crown should know what I most wish to avoid right now is my own bloodline. Are you sure you want to discuss this topic with me?"

"But you want to hear it."

Yin Li turned her face, "Previously, you said knowing too much isn’t a good thing, but people are like this, the more they shouldn’t know, the more they want to know..."

Sui Yi clasped her hands behind her back, the wind stirring her hair.

"Half of your bloodline comes from the Ape Queen, but the Ape Queen herself is no ordinary person... She is a descendant of the ancient rare Charming Spirit Race, with Charming Spirit blood, thus naturally charming bones, her cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary people... As for your other half of your bloodline.."

Sui Yi pondered for a moment, causing Yin Li’s brows to slightly furrow.

"Is there an issue?"

"I can’t see it."

Yin Li’s expression became solemn, "Then that’s the biggest issue, isn’t it?"

"If it were ancient Main World bloodline, I could discern it, if it were the bloodline developed in later generations, there are few that are as inwardly elusive as yours... all these years, you’ve been suppressing it, haven’t you?"

"Yes" Yin Li closed her eyes, "My lineage cannot be revealed, otherwise it would be a great disgrace to the Twin Queens and Twin Emperors.. if this bloodline is exposed... all concealment would be redundant."

Sui Yi was naturally aware of this, hence stopping the untimely words of the Dragon Ape Stone.

After all, the Dragon Ape Stone couldn’t probe people from the Outer Region, if it couldn’t probe Yin Li, a native, that would directly expose the issue with her bloodline.

"All these years, I’ve always felt that apart from Tai Yuan, another force looms over the Dragon Ape, unsettling, and this bloodline of mine is a hidden danger... maybe next year I would request to resign and leave.. if that’s the case, would the Imperial Crown still give me the Dragon Ape Stone?"

"That’s precisely why I want to give it to you.... If your bloodline has issues, someone will surely come for you, within this Dragon Ape Realm, with its assistance, it can help you avoid many risks..."

Yin Li had always respected Sui Yi, suddenly hearing such concern from her, she couldn’t help but feel slightly warmed inside.

"Thank you."

"Shouldn’t you apologize first?"
