440. What a Wet Blanket! (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Yin Jinye lightly said, “It has this possibility, but that’s not what concerns me. I’m only concerned about you.”

“Me?”

“If Bai Yunchen has found a way to activate the formation, why didn’t come to tell you instead of activating it himself?”

Rong Yi, “…”

“I’m worried that he might be trying to use you to open the seal. After all, you are also from another world.”

Rong Yi slightly froze there, “Quite reasonable.”

Yin Jinye put away the map, “It’s nearly dawn. You take some rest. I’ll call you when breakfast is ready.”

“What about you?”

“I have some things to tell Xiu Zhuo and others to do.”

“Hmm.”

Yin Jinye then left and called Xiu Zhuo to his study, “Ask all the scouts of Xunyi Pavilion to stop their job at hand and go find the whereabouts of Bai Yunchen, Rong Weiyi, Si Ze and Yin Houyao.”

Xiu Zhuo was surprised, “Master, if the scouts stop their job at hand, we will have to compensate our customers. That’s be a huge loss.”

Yin Jinye coldly glanced at him. Except Rong Yi, he didn’t like repeating his words to anyone else.

Knowing that the master was angry, Xiu Zhuo dare not delay one more minute and go get it down.

As the day dawned, Rong Yi was called to have breakfast by the children, and on the way he saw Paceroo and Logus with dark circles come out of their room.

Rong Yi asked on purpose, “Godfather, Logus, you didn’t sleep well last night, did you?”

Pacero made an embarrassed smile. A little more than an hour ago, after Rong Yi had left, he and Logus had a huge fight. Logus was angry with him for trying to distance himself from him and forcibly kissed him. In a moment of tension, he kicked Logus between his legs.

He felt guilty. Fortunately Logus was okay.

“Thanks to him,” said Logus coldly.

Rong Yi came to the hall with a smile, but did not see Yin Jinye and Qi Lan, so he asked Old Lady Yin, “Mom, where is Jinye and my senior brother?”

Old Lady Yin said, “They have something to discuss, so they don’t come over for breakfast.”

Rong Yi guessed that Yin Jinye and Qi Lan should be discussing how to deal with Bai Yunchen, so he did not ask more.

After breakfast, Rong Yi, Bu Qi and others continued selling enchanted runes by the gate.

Xiang Lu laughed and said, “There are as many buyers today as there were yesterday.”

Rong Yi looked over at the dense crowd, then, a woman with heavy make attracted his attention, squinting, he remembered that it should be Yan Qiushuang’s junior peer in the sect, called…

After racking his brains, he finally remembered. Yes, she was called Shui Zhuhuan, who never got along with Yan Qiushuang.

He called Yin Yan out, let him quietly catch her for interrogation about Yan Qiushaung’s whereabouts.

At this time, Shui Zhuhuan still had no idea that someone was already eyeing her, her attention was totally on price list of those enchanted runes. It was marked that level six enchanted runes required eight thousand top grade spiritual stones, and that was to those decent cultivators. If for demon cultivators, it’d be more expensive, a celestial spiritual stone.

To her, it would be acceptable to buy only one or two, but she got too many magic weapons, so that was far from enough.

“So expensive!” She snapped as she stared at the board. She even had the impulse of robbing it. But even those guards here had higher cultivation than her, so it was never her turn to behave atrociously.

She gritted her teeth and decided to buy one to have a try, but guard said, “Enchanted runes for demon cultivators all sold you. If you need, please come next month.”

“What? Sold out?” Shui Zhuhuan got so mad, “Weren’t there quite a few of level six ones just now?”

“Someone bought them all a moment ago.”

“Who is it?”

The guard pointed to a man who had not gone far, “Him.”

Shui Zhuhuan hurried to catch up.

But the other party was walking very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into the alley.

Shui Zhuhuan chased in, suddenly, received a heavy palm from behind and passed out, when she woke up, she saw a handsome man smiling at her.

She was stoned and then spread a coquettish smile, “My lord, you want me or my belongings? I don’t have any belongings. But if you want me, maybe I’ll consider it.”

As soon as those words dropped, she was slapped on the face by a man besides, “Women of Mating Pavilion are all sluts!”

It was no other else but Yin Jinye’s guard Xiu Zhuo.

Yin Yan laughed, “You can’t tar all of them with the same brush. At least there is someone who is worth our appreciation.”

That someone was Yan Qiushuang. Forget about the fact she was their little masters’ grandpa, they quite liked her straightforwardness, unlike this evil-looking slutty woman. Seen from any angle, they just did not like her.

A slice of ruthless feeling flashed across Shui Zhuhuan’s eyes, but she still wore that slutty smile, “Don’t you men all like slutty women?”

As she spoke, she quietly tried to generate her spiritual power, only to find that her spiritual power was sealed by someone.

Yin Yan smiled at her, “You should be very aware that your natural enemies are ghost cultivators, because ghost cultivators have no feelings, who would never be tempted by you.”

Hearing that, Shui Zhuhuan gave up seducing them, but said with her face sank, “So, what do you want?”

Xiu Zhuo also didn’t want to waste one more minute with her, “Let me ask you. Where is Yan Qiu Shaung?”

“Yan Qiushuang?” Shui Zhuhuan froze there, for she hadn’t heard this name for too long. Now someone suddenly brought her up, which made her quite surprised, “You are looking for her?”

“Yes.” Having no patience, Xiu Zhuo took the dagger and cut it in her hand, “You’d better tell the truth, or your face will be like your hand.”

Shui Zhuhuan frowned in pain, but she did not care, she could have some healing elixirs and make her skin as smooth as before, unless the other side killed her, otherwise, she was not afraid at all. But later, she found that this dagger was not so simple as she had thought.

The dagger was highly poisonous, once the skin was cut open, the wound would rot until the bones could be seen.

Yin Yan said, “Xiu Zhuo, what a woman pays most attention to is her face. Isn’t it too cruel to threaten her with her face?”

“But it’s you who refined this kind of poison on the blade.”

“That’d be a big trouble. I only refine poison with no antidote. Then her hand will go wasted.”

“A poison cultivator? Are you Yin Yan, the bodyguard of the Lord of Guiling Town?” Hearing their conversation, Shui Zhuhuan got both scared and angry, “I don’t know where she is at all. It’s no use forcing me.”

“Really?” Xiu Zhuo then held the dagger against her face.

Shui Zhuhuan paid extra attention to her appearance, so she instantly surrendered, “Don’t hurt my face, but I really don’t know where she is. I haven’t seen her for like three years.”

“You haven’t even heard of her?”

Shui Zhuhuan’s eyes glittered, “No, you know, we never got alone, so my people never dare mention her before me.”

Yin Yan said, “But why did I hear that you are looking for her whereabouts secretly?”

“That was a long time ago. After she left Liyu Town, I quitted.”

Xiu Zhuo threw away the dagger, “I told you it’s a waste of time questioning her. We should directly search her soul and check her memories.”

“No, do not search my soul.” Shui Zhuhuan had ever done that to someone else. That was extremely hurtful.

“It’s not up to you.” Xiu Zhuo then put his hand over her forehead.

“Ah…” Shui Zhuhuan screamed.

Yin Yan just coldly watcher her scream, in fact, he also wanted to search her soul directly at the beginning, but it was just a bit too troublesome, for they had to search in her memories little by little, which would cost a long time.

As Xiu Zhuo could not find what he was looking for, he increased his spiritual power and quickened his speed.

Shui Zhuhuan felt something stirring in her brain, the pain was like to kill her, face turning pale, cold sweat all over, and screamed on and on, finally, her throat got so hoarse that she even couldn’t make any sound.

About an hour later, Xiu Zhuo finally withdrew his hand.

Shui Zhuhuan couldn’t hold it and passed out.

Ignoring her, Yin Yan asked Xiu Zhuo, “Did you find the whereabouts of Yan Qiushuang?”
