Yue Xi of Sword Union was a middle-aged beauty with an abundant set of peaks, graceful waist, and shapely, slender legs.Β The white dress she wore complimented her looks perfectly and was adorned with the unique sword-shaped symbol of Sword Union atop her right chest.Β From top to bottom, her tender exuded a mature and dignified temperament.
The two sisters, He Zao and He Miao, led Yang Kai over to her and greeted her respectfully.
Yue Xiβs face still looked pale, and her white robes were stained red in many places.Β Hearing the two sisters call out to her, she simply nodded lightly before turning a suspicious look towards Yang Kai and asking with some slight vigilance, βWhat did you lead this Purple Star person over for?β
She had never met Yang Kai, so naturally, she assumed that Yang Kai was a cultivator from Purple Starβs side.
βMaster, heβs not a disciple of Purple Star,β He Miao stepped up and held Yue Xiβs arm before pointing back at Yang Kai with a smile, βHe was the one who gave Elder Sister and me those Crystal Stones and Pills inside the Chaotic Abyss. Heβs called Yang Kai.β
βHim?β Yue Xiβs delicate brow rose slightly, seemingly somewhat surprised.
When she found He Zao and He Miao inside the Chaotic Abyss, she had heard the two sisters mention the bitter experience they had been through and she knew that if Yang Kai had not provided them with some restorative resources, the two sisters would have been too weak to carry on.
However, she still had some doubts about Yang Kaiβs origins.
How could a little First-Order Saint run out to the Chaotic Abyss for no reason at all?Β Did he really have such boldness and skill?
Thinking so in her heart, Yue Xi didnβt show anything on her face, instead just saying lightly, βYoung man, thank you for the care you showed my two disciples.β
βSenior is too polite,β Yang Kai nodded faintly, βIt was just a little effort.β
βEn. Before, you gave He Zao and He Miao some help in their time of need, so Iβll send you a thousand pieces of Saint Crystal as a thank you,β Yue Xi said so before motioning to a nearby Sword Union cultivator.Β When this cultivator came over and looked over Yang Kai, he couldnβt help asking, βFriend, where is your Space Ring?β
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before he shook his head, βI donβt have such a thing.β
The cultivator turned to Yue Xi somewhat awkwardly.Β If Yang Kai didnβt have a Space Ring, he couldnβt hand over a thousand pieces of Saint Crystal.
Yue Xi frowned and said, βGive him your Space Ring, itβs nothing expensive in any case.β
βYes,β The cultivator nodded reluctantly before he began taking out all of his belongings from his Space Ring and handing them over to one of his companions.Β After a while, he took the Space Ring off his hand and passed it to Yang Kai, βThere are exactly one thousand pieces of Saint Crystal left inside, you can count it yourself.β
βI didnβt come here to ask for a reward,β Yang Kai said with a strange look.
He somehow sensed that this Yue Xi was eager to send him away, as if she was afraid of him sticking around.
He didnβt know why this was.
βWhat do you want?β Yue Xi frowned, her face showing a slightly disgruntled look.
The cultivator that handed over the Space Ring also grinned and encouraged, βFriend, a thousand pieces of Saint Crystal isnβt a small amount, Iβm also delivering you a storage artifact, shouldnβt you be content?β
βI said I didnβt come here seeking payment,β Yang Kai also frowned, suddenly realizing that the other party seemed to think he was up to some kind of scheme and was using this favour as an excuse to get close.
This made him very upset.
βMaster, itβs like this,β He Zao walked up and said, βLu Gui Chen placed a seal on him so he currently canβt use his strength.Β We brought him here to ask for your help removing this seal.β
βYouβre not able to use your strength?βΒ Yue Xi looked at Yang Kai with surprise, using her Divine Sense in the next instant to confirm what He Zao had said and nodding, βIβll have a look.β
Saying so, she stretched out her hand towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai didnβt move. Although the other person had some misunderstandings about him that made him a little unhappy, right now, lifting the seal on his strength was more important.
For this reason, he was willing to cooperate.
Yue Xiβs finger pointed towards Yang Kaiβs forehead and a stream of energy flowed from its tip into him.
He didnβt know what, but Yang Kai suddenly felt a comfortable sensation.Β Everywhere this stream of energy passed became relaxed and his spirit also couldnβt help becoming calm.
The next moment, Yang Kaiβs expression changed greatly, as if he had been struck by lightning, his body trembling as he hurriedly retreated several steps to avoid Yue Xiβs finger while directing a gloomy look towards her.
This woman⦠while sending her strength into him a moment ago was secretly trying to use her Divine Sense to break into his Knowledge Sea.
If he hadnβt responded quickly enough, his Knowledge Seaβs defences would have been breached and Yang Kai estimated that all the secrets in his Knowledge Sea would have been exposed to her.
Inside Yang Kaiβs Knowledge Sea, there was the Six Coloured Soul Warming Lotus, as well as his Conflagrated Knowledge Sea and the Demon Eye of Annihilation which had been integrated into his being.Β Normally, he could perfectly conceal all of these things, but once someone peeked into his Knowledge Sea, he wouldnβt be able to hide them.
Regardless of what Yue Xiβs true purpose was, her actions had already violated Yang Kaiβs bottom line.
So he immediately avoided her.
Yue Xiβs pretty face flashed with surprise, seemingly not having anticipated Yang Kaiβs senses to be so sharp, even able to detect her silent probing.
βYang Kai, what happened?β He Miao saw Yang Kaiβs expression and hastily inquired.
βItβs nothing, Seniorβs cultivation is too high, so when her strength entered my body I couldnβt quite bear it,β Yang Kai explained casually. He didnβt tell the truth because doing so didnβt have any advantage for him.
Yue Xi was startled but quickly said with a smile, βI was careless just now, causing you some discomfort.β
βMaster, can the seal in his body be unlocked?βΒ He Zao asked with some concern.
Yue Xi shook her head and bitterly said, βIf it was before, I could easily remove it, but I was injured just now by that old man, so thereβs nothing I can do about the seal in his body for the time being.β
He Zao and He Miao suddenly showed disappointed looks, turning apologetic looks in the next moment towards Yang Kai.
βItβs fine if you canβt remove it,β Yang Kai said without any disappointment, reaching out and accepting the Space Ring from the nearby cultivatorβs hand before cupping his fists to Yue Xi, βIn any case, many thanks for Seniorβs good intention and generous gift.β
Finished what he had to say, he turned around and left.
βYang Kai, donβt be so anxious to leave. When Master recovers in a few days she will be able to help you,β He Miao shouted innocently, but didnβt get any response, causing her to frown slightly and mutter, βWhy does he seem a little angry?β
βThis boy is very suspicious,β The cultivator beside Yue Xi stared at Yang Kaiβs receding back and said, βAccording to what two Junior Sisters said, he should have been wandering around the Chaotic Abyss, so how did he end up together with Purple Star?Β Him appearing here clearly means he was aboard Purple Starβs Starship. On top of that, heβs just a small First-Order Saint Realm cultivator, so why would Lu Gui Chen bother sealing his strength?β
βWhat are you trying to say?β He Zao glanced over at this man.
The cultivator smiled and said, βIsnβt it possible two Junior Sisters were deceived by him?Β Maybe he was originally a Purple Star cultivator and just pretended to meet you in the Chaotic Abyss to gather information about your whereabouts.Β I remember you two saying you actually ran into him twice, right?β
βWhat about it?β He Zao frowned deeply.
βNothing much. Junior Sister shouldnβt be angry, I just wanted to wake you up to such a possibility.Β You have been cultivating beside Master most of your life and havenβt seen much of the outside world. The outside world is a much messier place than you imagine,β The man explained with a smile, seemingly just casually making a point.
βElder Sister, could he really be a Purple Star person?βΒ Hearing her Senior Brother talk like this, He Miao also became a bit suspicious.
βIt doesnβt seem likely,β He Zao slowly shook her head.Β The two sisters had met Yang Kai twice before yet both times he hadnβt asked them about anything of importance and the second time he had even sent them a number of Crystal Stones and pills for free.
If he really was a Purple Star cultivator, there would have been no need for him to do any of this, all he would have needed to do was send word to Lu Gui Chen and the two sisters would definitely not have been able to hide until their Master had arrived.
It was for these reasons she didnβt believe her Senior Brotherβs speculations.
βThereβs nothing to lose by acting cautiously,β Yue Xi said.
βMasterβ¦β He Zao tuned a strange look to Yue Xi and wanted to say something but hesitated to speak.
βWhat do you want to say?β
βNo, itβs nothing, Master should rest first,β He Zao swallowed down her words.
She originally wanted to ask her master if she really couldnβt lift the seal on Yang Kaiβs body, but she just couldnβt bring herself to.
Looking at Yang Kaiβs lonely figure, He Zaoβs heart felt bitter.
Strictly speaking, Yang Kai had saved both her and her sisterβs life, that wasnβt a favour a single Space Ring and a thousand pieces of Saint Crystal could offset.
Letting out a slight sigh, He Zao gave her sister and wink and the two of them quietly left.
After the two sisters had walked away, Yue Xi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes and said to the cultivator beside her, βWei Wu, pay attention to that youthβs movements. Donβt let He Zao or He Miao get too close to him, try to avoid having them make contact if possible.β
Wei Wu eyes lit up and he quickly cupped his fists.
Yue Xiβs beautiful eyes flashed as she whispered under her breath, βWhat was all of that about?β
The moment her Divine Sense stabbed into Yang Kaiβs Knowledge Sea, she had suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of fear, but because Yang Kai had shut off his Knowledge Sea so quickly, Yue Xi was unable to obtain any significant information about him.
She didnβt know what kind of secrets were hidden inside his Knowledge Sea.
However, his origins were even more worrisome now, so Yue Xi had to act cautiously, lest he deceives her two young disciples.
She understood her disciplesβ character best. They were kind, open-hearted, and upright.
That youth had saved their lives, so they were definitely thinking about how to repay him, if she didnβt handle this matter well, it would definitely lead to problems.
Once Yang Kai had moved far away from the Sword Union group, he found a quiet place to sit down.
He felt that he should try to avoid approaching Yue Xi.Β This beautiful woman was far too overbearing.
With the Purple Star cultivators not daring stir up trouble, Yang Kai estimated that in the short run, he would be safe.
When his mind and body relaxed, he finally felt the true richness of this floating continentβs World Energy aura.Β Even though he wasnβt able to circulate his Saint Qi or Secret Art, the surrounding World Energy still flowed towards his body and penetrated into his skin, integrating itself into his physique and giving him a refreshing feeling.
