Chapter 1180 Should I Believe You?
Chapter 1180 Should I Believe You?
Time is merciless, it cannot fully describe the desolation of the world, nor can it fully express the turmoil of life. There has never been a day that is so long!
Inside the room on the top floor of Hanshan You, Ji Yixuan overlooked one thing: any person whose appearance remains unchanged after a thousand years is related to inheritance!
The reason why Shen Yichen's master's wife had never used the Holy Emperor Technique was because of this. Unfortunately, Ji Yixuan was unaware of all this. Like Shen Yichen, she didn't know much about the hidden affairs of the martial arts world.
Faced with Ji Yixuan's barrage of questions, Shen Yichen's teacher's wife smiled, her bright eyes looking at Ji Yixuan with great interest.
“Your Highness Xuan, who told you that Ji Xuanfeng and I are together? I come from Yunxia Mountain, and Ji Xuanfeng is a man. How could we be together?”
Ji Yixuan was really confused. Whether it was the path of cultivation or the rules of law, the women of Yunxia Mountain would not have anything to do with Ji Xuanfeng.
But the white-haired woman in front of her clearly showed no hostility towards Ji Xuanfeng, was so familiar with the Holy Emperor Technique of the Unity of Heaven and Earth, and was very fond of Shen Yichen. Ji Yixuan would never believe that the white-haired woman had no relationship with Ji Xuanfeng!
"Senior, I am not interested in your relationship with Ji Xuanfeng. This Han Shanyou has nothing to do with the Ji family. You wouldn't be hiding something from me as well, would you? This is the bottom line I promised you to protect the young master!"
"Your Highness Xuan, Han Shan You has nothing to do with me. I brought you here only because it is safe and quiet here!"
"Senior, aren't you afraid that the Lord of Cold Mountain Netherworld will suddenly return?"
Shen Yichen's master's wife got up and walked to the window again. Watching the rain gradually lessen, she asked softly after a long while:
"Your Highness, have you ever wondered why the Lord of Hanshan You would take the initiative to find the young master and even help him block the people from Luowu Ancient City? And why would the young master suddenly come to find the Lord of Hanshan You?"
Ji Yixuan clenched her fist and slammed it on the table. She had only asked because she didn't know. Wasn't that a pointless question from the white-haired woman?
"Senior, if you don't just tell me, I'm going to sleep!"
"The River of Oblivion, the Autumn Waters, and the Floating Clouds and Dreams—it is said that the Lord of Cold Mountain is three people, but in reality, these three people are three forms of one person. The Floating Clouds and Dreams are fat, the Autumn Waters are thin, and the River of Oblivion is formless!"
Ji Yixuan reached out and pinched her delicate eyebrows!
"Senior, there doesn't seem to be any record of this strange technique in the Ji family's Yongqing Mansion. Could it have been passed down from the Xuantian Pavilion? The body changes with the true essence, how strange!"
Shen Yichen's teacher's wife remained silent for a long time!
"Senior, do you have something you can't say about?"
"Ji Xuanfeng met people from the Xuantian Eight Sects in Yanquan Jianghu, and he eventually suspected that the Lord of Hanshan You was from the ancient Miao region!"
Ji Yixuan had a bit of a headache!
“Senior, although I am unaware of the ancient Miao region’s mysterious Gu techniques, the aura of the technique used by the Lord of Cold Mountain that night seems to be inconsistent with the aura of the people from the ancient Miao region!”
This is just Ji Yixuan's feeling.
"Hmph, according to the rules of the Ji family, members of the Ji family are not allowed to easily set foot in the Ancient Miao Domain. What exactly are the strange and mysterious arts of the Ancient Miao Domain, and how many secrets does it hold? How many people in the martial arts world can say for sure? Ji Qingyun may be cunning, but he still has some courage to approach the Ancient Miao Domain. Ji Xuanfeng may have gone to the Ancient Miao Domain!"
Ji Yixuan gazed at the slender, elegant figure by the window. She sensed that the white-haired woman was hiding something. After a long while, she softly asked:
"Senior, is it really that difficult to be honest with each other?"
"Your Highness is truly wise. I believe that the Lord of Hanshan You comes from the Dark Realm, and Ji Xuanfeng has probably also gone to the Dark Realm. Of course, this is just my personal speculation, without any basis!"
Ji Yixuan neither refuted nor agreed, nor was she surprised. Compared to Xuantian Pavilion, the Ancient Miao Domain and the Dark Realm were the real blanks for the Ji family.
It is said that there are many records about the ancient Miao region and the Dark Realm in the Avici Hell, which may be one of the reasons why the three royal families of the Ji family are looking for Shen Yichen.
A long silence fell over Han Shanyou's room, with the sound of light rain outside the window accompanied by the gentle strains of a soft, enchanting song.
"Senior, I'd like to know why you have a different opinion from Ji Xuanfeng? There must be some basis for it, right?"
Shen Yichen's teacher's wife remained silent for a long time.
"Senior, I have promised you that I will help you protect the young master!"
"Alas, both Ji Xuanfeng and the Lord of Hanshan You are looking for that brat!"
"Kid?"
Ji Yixuan, of course, couldn't understand.
"The little devil is the inheritor of the Tianyou clan, the sole inheritor!"
"Heavenly Ghost Grass?"
Ji Yixuan kept rubbing her forehead, thinking quickly. She really didn't know whether she should believe the words of the mysterious white-haired woman in front of her.
Ji Xuanfeng has traversed countless mountains and rivers; it's believable that he's searching for the Heavenly Nether Grass! But why would the Lord of Cold Mountain Nether wait in Luowu Ancient City for hundreds of years? There's not a single sign that she's looking for anything!
"Senior, is the Tianyou Clan related to the Ming Realm? The Ji family's ancient records don't seem to say that!"
"Your Highness, I don't know either. I've never been to the Dark Realm!"
Ji Yixuan reacted really quickly!
"Senior means that the Lord of Cold Mountain is looking for the young master because of the Heavenly Nether Grass?"
"The Lord of Hanshan You must have made an agreement with Ji Xuanfeng. There must be something in this Luowu Ancient City that Ji Xuanfeng is interested in, and the Lord of Hanshan You is probably protecting it for Ji Xuanfeng!"
This was Shen Yichen's master's wife's guess, and the Tai Chi teleportation channel she set up here was actually a form of disguised surveillance, or rather, getting closer.
As for whether the Lord of Hanshan You has discovered the Taiji Yin Yang Teleportation Gate, Shen Yichen's master's wife actually did not know. Her frequent visits to Hanshan You during her trip to Luowu Ancient City were also a way of testing the waters.
As it stands, it seems that the Lord of Cold Mountain has not yet discovered the teleportation gate!
"What could Ji Xuanfeng be interested in? Senior, do you know?"
Ji Yixuan asked another pointless question. She knew very well that the white-haired woman didn't know, and even if she did, she wouldn't tell her.
"Your Highness, I think it must be related to the Dark Realm!"
"The Dark Realm? Senior, shouldn't all living beings from the Dark Realm be killed on sight? How could Ji Xuanfeng have any connection with people from the Dark Realm?"
"Hmph, Your Highness Xuan, isn't this the same as Ji Qingyun marrying Shen Surong? In fact, many truths can only be known when you get close!"
Ji Yixuan pondered for a long time, then let out a long sigh of relief!
"No, no, could it be that the young master knows where the Heavenly Nether Grass is?"
"I used to only have suspicions, but now I'm certain that the young master knows about the Heavenly Nether Grass. As for whether it's the brat that Ji Xuanfeng and Hanshan Youzhi are looking for, I don't know!"
"why?"
"The reason is simple: Li Lingwang of the Tianyou Clan, who escaped the seal in Yingzhou Sword City, has also come to Luowu Ancient City, and he is here for the young master!"
"Senior, are you sure?"
To Ji Yixuan's dismay, Master Shen Yichen's wife actually shook her head!
"You...I...! Senior, should I believe you or not?"
Ji Yixuan was speechless. The white-haired woman seemed to have answered her doubts, but all the answers were baseless guesses.
Given the white-haired woman's cultivation level, these speculations might all be true, but could it be that she was deliberately leading her astray? Ji Yixuan had absolutely no idea!
Shen Yichen's teacher's wife slowly turned around, looking at Ji Yixuan with a smile in her eyes.
Ji Yixuan shuddered. She was afraid of and disgusted by that gaze.
"Your Highness, I also don't know whether I should trust you. Will you really protect the young master?"
"Senior, of course you have to believe me. Even without you, I will still protect the young master. The royal family of Yunxia Mountain and the Ji family both need the young master!"
"Hmph, let's hope so! Let's talk about it after we return from the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion, Your Highness. Some things shouldn't be said too soon!"
Ji Yixuan didn't take it seriously, because she really would protect Shen Yichen, and that had nothing to do with the white-haired woman.
Ji Yixuan walked to the bedside and lay down.
"Looks like I can finally sleep soundly here. Senior, did the Lord of Cold Mountain go to find King Li Ling of the Heavenly Nether Clan?"
"Your Highness, you've guessed wrong this time. The Lord of Hanshan You has gone to Beimeng Mountain!"
"Beimeng Mountain?"
Ji Yixuan was slightly taken aback, and murmured:
"Could it be that she went to see the Ghost Chief of Bei Meng? Or perhaps she went to see Lord Xiao Shan?"
Shen Yichen's master's wife did not respond, because she did not know either. Logically speaking, since the Heavenly Nether Clan's King Li Ling had already appeared in Luowu Ancient City, the Lord of Hanshan Nether had no reason to leave the city.
"Your Highness, have you considered how the young master will react with so many strange people staring at him? Or rather, what would you do if you were in his shoes?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Yixuan uttered only one word:
"kill!"
"Hmph, that's you, not the young master. The young master is probably looking for the Lord of Cold Mountain Netherworld to escape!"
Ji Yixuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment, she smiled and said:
"You know what, the young master really might run away, but would he really abandon the demoness from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?"
"Oh dear, why does that sound so sour to me?"
"Is it sour? It doesn't matter if it is!"
Both Ji Yixuan and Shen Yichen's master's wife understood that Ji Yixuan was incapable of developing feelings; it was just a joke.
"Your Highness, what do you think separates affection from indifference?"
Shen Yichen's teacher's wife asked a question that was both sudden and strange.
Ji Yixuan, of course, didn't know how to answer. She simply lay down on the bed and went to sleep; there was no escaping it.
"Senior, why don't you meet with the young master?"
“Your Highness, Mount Yunxia separates the pure land from the mortal world. In reality, in a woman’s heart, the barrier between being passionate and being heartless is nothing more than a woman’s chastity!”
In the room on the top floor of Hanshan You, neither Ji Yixuan nor the other responded to each other. They rested separately, each deep in thought about the storm that Luowu would face the next day!
