Chapter 4 - How Much Weight Does He Hold in Her Heart
【That night, you and Liu Xinxiu spent the entire night studying calligraphy.】
【During the study, you vaguely heard suppressed breathing in the darkness.】
【It was fleeting.】
【But when you listened carefully, you found nothing.】
【The next day, this female elder of Moonlock Pavilion’s Law Enforcement Hall left with a heart full of joy.】
【She decisively said that next time she visits, she would bring you more cultivation resources.】
【You just smiled lightly and didn’t appear too excited.】
【Compared to cultivation resources, you were more concerned about whether you could render the Bone-Eroding Pill ineffective.】
【After sending Liu Xinxiu off, a figure appeared and pinned you to the table.】
【It was none other than Zhu Diezhen, whom you hadn’t seen for a long time.】
【Her expression was icy, and the killing intent around her was almost palpable.】
【She said in a deep voice: “Didn’t I tell you not to do such things? Ignoring my words, do you really want to die?”】
【You calmly pointed at the spirit stones and bluntly stated that having cultivation resources would allow you to break through realms faster and become a more qualified undercover agent.】
【As for studying the Kun-style calligraphy, it was a human interest.】
【Suppressing it for too long could lead to inner demons, which would be detrimental to cultivation.】
【Zhu Diezhen was silent for a long time.】
【She then stated that she would take care of all your future cultivation resources.】
【But the condition was that you must not study calligraphy with Liu Xinxiu again.】
【As for inner demons, she dismissed it as nonsense.】
【If you agreed, the matter would be settled; if not, she would kill you right then.】
Ye Yu looked at her stunning face and smiled.
It seemed that, in this dream, he held significant weight in Zhu Diezhen’s heart.
Negotiations were already happening?
【In the end, you nodded in agreement.】
【After all, you couldn’t be sure that Zhu Diezhen, this great demon, wouldn’t actually kill you.】
【Choosing between life and death was easy. You had to stay alive to seek revenge.】
【Zhu Diezhen didn’t linger any longer.】
【She turned and disappeared from the room.】
【After some time, Li Dao’an’s mission ended, and he returned to Moonlock Pavilion.】
【From then on, every three months, he not only provided you with the antidote for the Bone-Eroding Pill but also cultivation resources.】
【He even brought superior techniques.】
【However, you didn’t practice the techniques he brought.】
【You feared that Zhu Diezhen might have tampered with them.】
【As for Elder Liu Xinxiu, she came to see you a few times.】
【You always kept your door closed.】
【But you didn’t completely shut her out; you sent a memory stone to Liu Xinxiu.】
【In the memory stone, you told her that Li Dao’an was right. How could a high-ranking elder be with a mere disciple? You said you would work hard to become strong in the shortest time possible.】
【When you were qualified to stand beside Liu Xinxiu, you would naturally rekindle your relationship.】
【After watching the content on the memory stone, Liu Xinxiu’s eyes turned red.】
【But she did not come to find you again. She decided to give you plenty of time to cultivate.】
【At the same time, Liu Xinxiu began to harbor resentment towards Li Dao’an. In her heart, she believed that it was Li Dao’an who temporarily separated you and her.】
【In the days that followed, Liu Xinxiu took every opportunity to make life difficult for Li Dao’an.】
【This caused your master to live each day in misery, feeling depressed and despondent.】
【Time passed, the sun and the moon flew by, and three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.】
【With a sufficient supply of spiritual stones, you became the most dazzling talent in the Moonlock Pavilion.】
【In just three hundred years, you leaped from the Nascent Soul stage to the middle stage of Divine Transformation.】
【This speed of advancement was unprecedented.】
【You also successfully gained the favor of the master of Moonlock Pavilion, who promoted you to elder of the pavilion.】
【As for your master, Li Dao’an, he encountered a spiritual beast while venturing out with you a hundred years ago and unfortunately met his end.】
【Of course, no one knew that his death was actually at your hands.】
【During this period, Zhu Diezhen never assigned you any tasks.】
【Apart from regularly sending someone to deliver the antidote for the Bone-Eroding Pill, she never contacted you.】
【This made you very puzzled.】
【A cultivator in the Divine Transformation stage could be considered a great cultivator in the entire cultivation world.】
【Why hasn’t Zhu Diezhen used you? What is she thinking?】
【Besides this, you had another puzzlement.】
【Since the beginning of the Nascent Soul stage, every time you broke through a stage, you would feel a wisp of spiritual energy involuntarily gather at your chest and then slowly dissipate.】
【Sometimes, a warm current would flow from your chest and fill your entire body.】
【This abnormal reaction made you very curious.】
【So you went to ask the master of Moonlock Pavilion.】
【But the master, Shen Nantian, couldn’t figure it out either.】
【Because in his eyes, you were an anomaly. Who could cultivate this fast?】
【When he was young, he was also considered a genius. But it took him over five hundred years just to break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage.】
【Yet you took only a little over three hundred years in total. No one could accept this.】
【Even so, Shen Nantian checked your body with his spiritual sense.】
【Finding nothing unusual, he didn’t think much of it.】
【But whenever it was late at night and all was quiet, you couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss.】
Ye Yu squinted his eyes slightly.
He also felt that something was wrong.
In this dream, although he had been called a genius since childhood, he wasn’t exceptionally outstanding.
Otherwise, it would have been Shen Nantian who took him as a disciple initially, not Li Dao’an.
However, ever since he swallowed the Bone-Eroding Pill, his speed of cultivation had been unstoppable.
And most importantly, throughout his journey, it seemed he had never encountered a bottleneck in cultivation.
This truly made him feel incredulous. As if everything had naturally fallen into place.
This doesn’t feel right, really not right.
【Fifty years later.】
【During the disciples’ trial outside of the Moonlock Pavilion, they encountered demonic cultivators from the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.】
【A fierce battle ensued.】
【All the disciples along with two guardian elders from the Moonlock Pavilion perished.】
【The Pavilion Master, Shen Nantian, was furious.】
【He immediately prepared to lead a force to annihilate the Ten Thousand Souls Hall!】
【As an elder, you were naturally included in this battle list.】
【Upon receiving this news, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of daze.】
【In such a situation, Zhi Diezhen would surely activate you as her undercover agent.】
【But what exactly she would have you do, you couldn’t guess.】
【Now, what worried you most was if Zhi Diezhen couldn’t hold out and you were killed on the spot.】
【How would you then neutralize the poison of the Bone-Eroding Pill?】
【Even if pleasure with a woman could affect the Bone-Eroding Pill, to what extent it could influence it, and whether it could completely nullify the pill, you weren’t sure.】
【This was a matter of life and death, and for a moment, you felt somewhat panicked.】
