Chapter 30: Uninvited Guest
The stealthy footsteps’ sounds increasingly got closer, then paused for a moment, and bypassing the front gate, roundabout to back door.
Ye Chuan motionlessly sat cross-legged on the floor, pretending to know nothing, but his ears heard everything clearly, and was able to determine the uninvited guest’s height and weight from the sound of footsteps. The uninvited guest was a brawny big fellow. After that Ye Chuan sent out his divine sense to carefully examine him.
The uninvited person was indeed brawny, dressed in the standard long robe of Cloud Mist Sect disciple, and his face was covered with a piece of black cloth. But surprisingly, the cultivation of this big fellow was merely Rank 6 Wuzhe, far from being an expert.
Sent a trifling Rank 6 Wuzhe disciple to assassinate me, did Jin Zhikun, that old fellow lost his mind, or is he still not putting me in his eyes?
This circumstance was somewhat unexpected, still Ye Chuan stood up, and with a flash he passed through the window and came out.
Hesitating for a while, uninvited guest climbed over the wall and crept in, then walking on tiptoe, he carefully searched around. Unfortunately, although he was already very cautious, but he accidently knocked down a medicinal herbs storing jar. Careless in handling things, seeing this, Ye Chuan who was secretly following behind him shook his head.
Inside study, empty, there was no-one;
Inside alchemy house, also empty, only some commonly used pill medicines and medicinal herbs;
Inside bedroom, also was no-one;
Uninvited guest searched all around the Purple Cloud Courtyard, but gained nothing, so he slowly creased his brows. In the dim moonlight, entire Purple Cloud Courtyard was empty without the sight of any person.
“This junior apprentice-brother, are you looking for me?”
Even after secretly following behind him for a while, this uninvited guest was completely unable to perceive him. So shaking his head, Ye Chuan appeared behind him and patted the shoulder of this uninvited guest.
“Ah……”
Uninvited guest jumped up along with a screamed, then turned around. Seeing Ye Chuan who had mysteriously appeared behind him, he couldn’t help but shivered all over, “Big……, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I……”
“Which Hall are you from, what is your name?” Ye Chuan asked, and his eyes suddenly became threateningly sharp while looking at this uninvited guest.
Even the gaze of Great Elder was not this terrifying, and in that instant, he trembled with terror, and replied instinctively, “Alchemy Hall, Gongsun……, Gongsun Ye.”
“Good, your name is pretty good, I like it. Now tell me, who asked you to kill me?” Ye Chuan asked, and those terrifying gaze revert back to normal. Then with an evil smile on his face, he added, “No, this is out of question, a scaredy-cat cannot kill. Whether you know or not, the person who made you come here wants to harm you, or wants to kill you by another’s hand.”
“No……, not, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I don’t, I……”
Uninvited guest Gongsun Ye stuttered, and the words he wanted to speak didn’t come out properly due to nervousness.
Tall and strong, compared to Ye Chuan, he was still a head taller, but seeing Ye Chuan, he was trembling continuously just like a mouse seeing a cat.
“Return back and cultivate properly, killing you is more like losing face.”
Ye Chuan shook his head, then circulating the Heaven Swallowing Talisman of inside his body, he swatted out. ‘Peng’, brawny Gongsun Ye was sent flying just like a kite with a broken string, and heavily fell outside the wall. After screaming, he struggled to crawl up and ran away in a panic. Inside the perimeter wall, Ye Chuan clapped his hands, and return back to the study to continue cultivating.
