Chapter 89 78: The Longsword Remains Sheathed (Subscribe Please)_2
Chen Yi followed and only then noticed that the compartment was also equipped with concealment and isolation arrays, and he couldn't help but praise the Four Directions Building for being quite thoughtful.
Such arrangements would definitely put the parties involved in the transaction at ease.
Who would have thought, just as he closed the door and was taking a look around, a cold light flashed in Jiang Yunni's eyes and she suddenly struck out with a palm.
Crack!
Chen Yi flicked his fingers against the sword sheath, and terrifying Slaughter Sword Intent instantly filled the compartment, as if the air was veiled in a crimson mist.
Jiang Yunni's movements froze, and before her palm could land, she retreated to the corner, looking at him with a mixture of shock and uncertainty.
"Who, who are you, exactly?!"
Chen Yi looked at her calmly for a few seconds, and only then did the Spring Rain Sword return to its sheath with a click, the murderous intent vanishing.
"Next time, you die."
Saying this, he walked to the wooden table in the middle and sat down, gesturing to Jiang Yunni:
"Fairy Yun Ni, may we now discuss matters?"
Jiang Yunni continued to stare at him in surprise, her eyes occasionally flashing with wariness and fear.
Was this person a youth, or a strangely gifted old monster from within the Grand Void Sect?
Could normal Martial Arts cultivators possess such terrifying, almost tangible murderous intent?
How many lives must one take to cultivate such intent?
After a while, Jiang Yunni sat opposite Chen Yi, her voice cautious as she spoke:
"Elder, for the offense Yun Ni caused before, please forgive me."
Elder?
Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh silently, knowing she was in fear, so he didn't explain and instead said with a smile: "It was a minor misunderstanding, Fairy Yun Ni need not take it to heart."
"Let's talk about the information you know about."
Jiang Yunni glanced at him, cursing inwardly.
Originally she thought Chen Yi was just a junior brother brought by Zhan Hongxiu for experience and was somewhat annoyed by his persistent following.
But who knew he would suddenly transform into a terrifyingly powerful old monster?
Who wouldn't take that seriously?
However, Jiang Yunni soon thought that the stronger Chen Yi's capabilities, the more advantageous it would be for her plans.
With this in mind, she let out a sigh of relief and said respectfully:
"Elder, you are right, Yun Ni does indeed know the location of the Array Eye and wishes to exchange it for certain items."
"Items?"
Chen Yi's interest piqued, the word itself was intriguing.
"What do you wish to exchange?"
"Yun Ni wants to exchange for one action from the elder."
"Take action?" Chen Yi pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "You're not thinking of dealing with Ye Lin, are you?"
"Exactly!"
Hate surged in Jiang Yunni's eyes as she then recounted the reasons she wanted to take action against Ye Lin.
It turns out that before joining the Yuhua Immortal Sect, she was just an orphan on the streets, her exceptional talent in Array formations noticed by her Master, who took her in.
At first, her life in the Yuhua Immortal Sect was bearable.
Though it was hard and she was not used to it, as her talent in Array formations was recognized, she grew increasingly favoured by her Master and her life improved day by day.
Not only was she named among the "Ten Taoist Immortals", which made her peers flatter her, she also gained a lot needed for her cultivation.
However, the good times did not last; after her Master passed away unexpectedly, she was arranged by the Sect to become a disciple of another elder, and her situation underwent a drastic change.
In just two short years, she went from a high and mighty Fairy to a neglected existence within the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
That elder was the same old man who followed Ye Lin during the day—named Xin Kehai.
It was also due to his doing that Jiang Yunni caught Ye Lin's eye, and he tried every possible way to control her.
Had she not been clever enough to propose in front of Ye Lin's father, Master Ye Ningxiu of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, that she would voluntarily marry Ye Lin after five years to temporarily save herself.
Otherwise, she would have already been devoured by Ye Lin.
For a long time, after listening to her, Chen Yi felt no waves of emotion.
His own experiences from a young age already exposed him to the dark side of Tianyuan Continent.
It was only because he was immune to poison, otherwise, he would have met a dismal fate long ago.
So, in his view, Jiang Yunni's ordeal was pitiable and helpless, but it had nothing to do with him.
After a moment of thought, Chen Yi said calmly: "Your offer is not enough."
Even though he shared a disinclination towards Ye Lin, particularly after the latter's malicious intent earlier which aroused a slight killing intent in him,
it didn't mean he would act on behalf of Jiang Yunni.
The only thing that slightly moved him was Jiang Yunni's innate talent in formations.
According to her, neither Ye Lin nor her Master Xin Kehai could locate the Array Eye in Jiangnan Prefecture despite searching for most of the day.
Yet she could find it, which would suffice to prove her exceptional talent in the Array and Qimen Lineage.
"Should the elder agree to take action, Yun Ni is willing to give her all!" Jiang Yunni revealed a hint of hope in her gaze.
"Give your all?"
Chen Yi gave her a once-over and shook his head, still refusing: "Aside from some beauty and talent in Array formations, the rest is of no use to me."
Jiang Yunni's face stiffened, staring at him in astonishment.
Wasn't that enough?
Or was it?
Upon this thought, Jiang Yunni glanced subtly at Chen Yi's youthful body and came to a realization.
It definitely wasn't her problem; it might be that the elder's body possibly...
Noticing her gaze, Chen Yi was half-amused and half-annoyed, and pretended to be angry as he said:
"If Fairy Yun Ni has no other conditions, then let's end this transaction here."
Damn it.
If only he weren't so young now, then surely he would let Jiang Yunni understand what "Once the longsword is drawn, it should not be sheathed again, otherwise sword qi will slash through thirty thousand li" meant!
Jiang Yunni couldn't care less about what he thought, hurriedly saying: "Elder misunderstood, Yun Ni does not wish to kill Ye Lin."
"Oh? So, what do you want to happen to him?" asked Chen Yi curiously.
"Yun Ni only wishes for him to lose his cultivation and become a cripple!"
What do you think?
