Chapter 909 - Real and Fake (1/2)
Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
The plain-robed Fu Jun watched in a daze as the red-robed beautiful girl left the restaurant. He was still filled with disbelief: ‘Why would this be, why…’
‘I’ve failed big time!’ The red-robed beautiful girl headed out. She felt sullen in her heart. She had been extremely careful in her attempt to seduce Young Master Xing Huo. In the beginning, she merely hinted to him without leaving behind any information that could be used against her. As a result, she took 1,000 years before she was quite certain that the Young Master Xing Huo had been hooked. Only then did she kick Fu Jun away.
She even deliberately mentioned for him not to hurt Fu Jun too much, and how she was deliberately delaying time until now.
‘Who would have thought that the Young Master Xing Huo is also acting, and he has acted better than I did.’ The red-robed beautiful girl thought. She was an old hand at this, yet she did not see through that Young Master Xing Huo at all. There were even rumors saying that Young Master Xing Huo was someone who had never fallen in love, and only knew how to cultivate. Who would have thought that he was more formidable than she is in terms of disguising emotions?
‘Hmph, it is fine if I failed. Let me see if I could enter the holy ground this time during the Star Convention. If I were to fail, then it is time for me to change my identity.’ The red-robed beautiful girl Ni Yan planned. She was quite decisive. To her, seducing others was merely a method for her to obtain sufficient resources for cultivation.
…
Within the restaurant.
Fu Jun had suffered from a huge shock this time. Previously, he thought that it was only his companion who changed her heart. Who would have thought that it was all fake? She had been deceiving him throughout these years!
“Brother Fu Jun, she is deliberately deceiving you. Why the need to dwell on it?” The golden-robed young man chuckled and poured some wine, “Come come come, let us have some wine.”
“Now that I know that she has been lying about her feelings for me in the past, but the issue is could I forget about it so easily?” Fu Jun bitterly laughed, “Brother Xun Yi, I know that you have good intentions and have indeed helped me to prevent an even bigger issue from happening. But… somehow in my heart, I would prefer for you not to break my illusion.”
The golden-robed young man was stunned momentarily.
“If only it were true, how good it will be.” Fu Jun turned around and left.
The golden-robed young man sat there by himself. He poured a cup for himself while gazing out. He muttered softly to himself: “If only it were true…”
He drank by himself. One cup, and another cup. He continued drinking until he finished the wine before leaving.
Within the corner, Xue Ying was observing things happening. Being one of the five teachers of the convention, he had long obtained the name register and information on those participating in this Star Convention. He naturally recognized those three.
Fu Jun: Cultivated for 320 billion years. A loose cultivator. While adventuring outside, he met ‘Ni Yan’ not long after stepping into the Unity realm, became a couple with her.
Ni Yan: Cultivated for 1.1 trillion years, and also a loose cultivator. It seemed that she was a cunning cultivator, and would frequently seduce other experts to become her companion. From there, she would deceive the other party for resources. Amongst cultivators, there were all sorts of devils, and this kind of schemes was naturally normal.
Xing Huo Xun Yi: Cultivated for 530 billion years. He had a huge background! The previous two were loose cultivators, yet Xing Huo Xun Yi had a famous reputation outside as the seed of ‘Monarch Xing Huo’. Because of the bloodline from his father, Xun Yi was able to cultivate really quickly during the early stages. He entered the Unity realm at a faster speed than Xue Ying did–just within 1.8 billion years. But after that, his strength increment became extremely slow. His father was after all a Primal Chaos giant, and Xun Yi could depend on the bloodline cultivation system to reach the Unity realm at most.
As the other party had high status, there was quite a lot of information on Xing Huo Xun Yi regarding his growth from young to now.
According to the intelligence reports, he never had any companions before! One had to know that he had been cultivating diligently in the Xing Huo God Palace, yet it’s a pity that he remained quite ordinary.
‘Interesting. Truly interesting.’ Xue Ying looked at the back of the departing golden-robed young man, ‘Someone who has never had a companion and only knows about cultivating would actually cause that person called Ni Yan to eat a loss. It seems that there are many things about him which had not been revealed.’
Xue Ying began feeling interested in that young master.
Naturally, nobody present was able to recognize Xue Ying’s identity. Being a teacher of the convention, some of those with a great background would have been told about the selected teachers. The moment he was recognized, Xue Ying would be in trouble. As a result, he had to change his appearances and aura when moving within the Blade Emperor City.
******
Blade Emperor City, in one of the many cavern-dwellings meant for receiving guests.
“Father.”
Xun Yi returned back to the cavern-dwelling.
There was a black curly-haired male seated within by himself. He was extremely muscular, and despite seated, he was still taller than Xun Yi by a head! He was emitting a faint aura, though the operating laws of the sacred world were being affected. In this place, it seemed that the operating laws had to give way to a more powerful aura. Monarch Xing Huo was known for being tyrannical and cruel. But in front of his son, this tyranny and cruelness had become milder.
“Xun Yi.” Monarch Xing Huo said, “You are the son of I, Xing Huo. This time, I wish for you not to disgrace me when you participate in the Star Convention! That big brother of yours has already gotten through the fifth level Star Pagoda. I do not have a high demand for you–just get through the third level will be fine.”
