Chapter 142: The Harvest from Questioning

Ye Zhan took a sip from his teacup and concealed the smile on his lips.

“The Nine-Layer Hall is a mysterious force in the Southern Region. It rarely appears in public but is an existence even the Six Major Sects don’t dare to easily provoke.”

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were like ink as she continued to ask: “Is Monarch Ming the Hall Master of the Nine-Layer Hall?”

“Yes!” The corner of Ye Zhan’s lips raised, “Monarch Ming has only started roaming around Tian’Ling Continent in the last three years. His identity is extremely secretive, and few people know it.

“Don’t tell me that with the relationship between you and him, you still don’t know these things?” Ye Zhan was a little curious about just what sort of relationship it was between Lou Mu Yan and Monarch Ming.

Lou Mu Yan smiled gracefully, “Monarch Ming and I are just casual acquaintances. I had never inquired about the Nine-Layer Hall from him, otherwise I wouldn’t be asking Uncle Ye.”

“Just being a casual acquaintance would make someone jump into the lava pool, disregarding their own life, to save you? Would gift you a piece of the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal that will even be madly contested for by high-level powerhouses in the Southern and Northern Regions? Little girl, who are you fooling!” Ye Zhan raised an eyebrow. As if he’d believe the two of them were just casual acquaintances.

“He wouldn’t happen to be the mysterious Master behind you, would he?” Then Ye Zhan asked tentatively.

Lou Mu Yan remained slightly smiling, her eyes clear, “Whatever you say is what it is then.”

Ye Zhan couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Lou Mu Yan. This girl really was a sly fox. What did she mean by whatever he said was what it was then? It was obvious that she didn’t want to reveal the relationship between them.

“I’ve answered all your questions, now it’s your turn to do something right?” Ye Zhan no longer dwelled on the topic. Everyone had their own secrets, so he didn’t want to delve into it.

Lou Mu Yan nodded in cooperation, “Take out the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal.”

Ye Zhan took out the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal that was still wrapped in ice and handed it to Lou Mu Yan, “Are you able to resolve it now?”

“Of course I can.”

Lou Mu Yan promised. She wrapped her hands over the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, muttered a few obscure words, then beams of red light shone from the slits between her fingertips and instantly melted the ice on the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal.

Then a jade-coloured rune belt circled the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, shining lightly, and fluctuating faintly with Elemental Energy.

She pointed two fingers and muttered: “Scatter!”

The jade-coloured rune belt appeared as if it had intelligence as it jumped from the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal and sunk into her body instantly.

“Done.” Lou Mu Yan handed the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, with its Array broken, back to Ye Zhan.

Ye Zhan played with the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal in his hands and discovered that there was no trace of Arrays on it at all. His evaluation of Lou Mu Yan was even higher now.

This girl didn’t only have exceeding talent in cultivation, and exceeding talent in Alchemy, who knew that she’d even have such talent in Arrays as well. Who knew how many people will be envious of her in the future.

No wonder they said that people who had the Terminal Meridians Constitution were actually the real favoured children of Heaven. Fortune and misfortune were interdependent. Lou Mu Yan’s talent after eradicating the Terminal Meridians Constitution could indeed be considered the best among prodigies. Even if placed among the talents of the younger generation in the two Southern and Northern Regions she wouldn’t be outdone.

“Your talent in Arrays is also very strong. You can already choose three among the Six Major Sects.” Ye Zhan’s eyes revealed some praise.

“Three among them? Why?” Lou Mu Yan didn’t know much about the Six Major Sects. After all, Yan’zhou Kingdom was only a medium-small kingdom in the Eastern Region and the information they knew was very limited.

“Cultivation talent, Alchemy talent, Array talent. Three of the Six Major Sects have the advantage in these three specialties.” Ye Zhan hid some regret in his eyes, “What I know about the Six Major Sects is only superficial. After all, there were practically none who entered a Sect after participating in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony from our Eastern Region each time.”“Why is it that I heard that Xue Ling’s talent was so good that she could enter a Sect directly after the Tournament for Hegemony?” Lou Mu Yan asked in confusion.

Ye Zhan smiled disdainfully: “It isn’t like it’s that difficult for the pupils of the main bloodline with some talent to enter a Sect, but that’s only an Outer Titular Pupil. The possibility of becoming an Outer Core Pupil or an Inner Pupil is basically zero.

“Of course, there are also those exceptionally talented, tough-minded pupils who choose to be an Outer Titular Pupil, then with their own efforts and by taking some appropriate opportunities, they may also soar into the sky.

“However, none of the superiors of the Ten Distinguished Clans are very supportive of this choice. Entering the Sect like this is only just slightly good for the reputation.”

Ye Zhan thought a bit, then said: “The Xue Clan deliberately released this kind of news probably because they wanted to successfully put pressure on the Ling Clan and annul the engagement. Xue Ling had always been a focus in the Xue Clan to raise. Their goal must be to obtain a rank in the top hundred in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony and not just to be an Outer Titular Pupil.”

“So that’s how it is.” Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled coldly.

Xue Ling wanted to be ranked in the top one hundred in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony? As long as she was here, then she’d definitely prevent this scourge that could endanger the Ling Clan and Lou Clan from entering into the top one hundred and become an Outer Core Pupil of a Sect.

“Little girl, do you still have anything else to ask? Though, I only know the surface of things about the Six Major Sects and the Southern and Northern Regions. I believe that you’ll come into contact with that broader world one day and you’ll naturally come to understand it then.”

“No more. I would like to thank Uncle Ye for resolving my confusions today.” Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly and thanked.

Although she only extorted two jars of high-level Spiritual Tea today, but it was also a great harvest to be able to gain so much information from Ye Zhan with her questioning.

Ye Zhan’s handsome and beautiful face revealed a soft, gentle smile. He stood up and said with a smile: “Today, you also spent a lot of energy on the treatment of Elder Lu. I won’t bother your rest now!”

“Uncle Ye, take care!” Lou Mu Yan got up and saw him off.

After Ye Zhan’s figure disappeared into the night, Lou Mu Yan closed the door in thought.

Early the next morning, Lou Mu Yan heard a knock on the door right after she just got up. She opened the door and saw that it was indeed Ye Qing Le and Mu Xia.

“Qing Le, Mu Xia, morning!”

“Elder Sister Mu Yan/Mu Yan, morning!” The two walked into the room and greeted her at the same time.

“Elder Sister Mu Yan, let’s go to the famous Stream Reflection Restaurant of Luo’xi City for breakfast.” Ye Qing Le smiled sweetly.

Lou Mu Yan nodded and said with a smile: “We’ll do whatever you have planned today.”

Luo’xi City was even bigger than the Imperial Capital of Yan’zhou Kingdom, and she also wanted to wander around casually.

“Then let’s go. Elder Brother, Mu Yi and the others are already waiting in the front hall.” Ye Qing Le smiled and pulled the two out of the yard quickly.

Lou Mu Yan discovered that Ye Qing Le had a special excitement for going out, “Qing Le, aren’t you tired of roaming Luo’xi City?”

“How could I be tired of it?” Ye Qing Le’s eyes darkened.

Then she smiled optimistically and cheerfully said: “I actually only wandered around Luo’xi City three times. I was detained at home by daddy all year round because of my weak body. If it weren’t that I took a medicinal pill to suppress the foetal poison before going to the Glacial Mountain Range, and its effect hadn’t yet faded, I wouldn’t even be able to go out with you.”

At this time, Lou Mu Yan also remembered that Ye Qing Le was accompanied by the foetal poison all year round and usually didn’t have much energy to wander around.

She held Ye Qing Le’s hand tightly, smiled and promised: “Qing Le, I will definitely heal you.”

“I believe in Elder Sister Mu Yan.” Ye Qing Le smiled beautifully with trust and sincerity in her eyes.

In fact, even if Lou Mu Yan couldn’t cure her illness, she wouldn’t blame her.

She got close to Lou Mu Yan not for the purpose of curing her illness. It was simply all because of the fate of one glance. The first time they met, she simply just liked this woman who was only one year older than herself, and she always felt a kind of intimacy in her heart.

She believed that this was just a kind of fate between them!
