Chapter 109: Wearing a floral dress?

"How beautiful! The petals are actually golden. What kind of flower is this?"

Huang Rong's eyes lit up when she saw the Jinbo Xun flower Ye Xiu had brought back, and she instinctively wanted to smell it.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu quickly grabbed Huang Rong's arm and pulled her back, "Rong'er, this is a Jinbo Xun flower. It's extremely poisonous."

"Huh? Jinbo Xun flower? This is the Jinbo Xun flower? The petals are golden, and the shape is similar to a lotus, but smaller than a lotus—it's exactly what they describe in books. Brother Xiu, where did you get this Jinbo Xun flower?" Ye Xiu reminded Huang Rong, and she remembered that she had read about it in a miscellaneous book.

It was mainly because Huang Rong hadn't thought about it that way before.

"I brought this back from the prefectural government office. It's extremely poisonous. Even a congenital master, or even a Grandmaster, can be poisoned by this flower if caught off guard," Ye Xiu said.

"The prefectural government? Ling Tui Si was actually able to obtain something like the Jinbo Xunhua. He's quite capable." Huang Rong stopped approaching the Jinbo Xunhua, but her eyes flickered with curiosity, clearly showing her considerable interest.

"Ling Tui Si must have someone behind him, so he could have obtained the Jinbo Xunhua," Ye Xiu said after a moment's thought. "

Someone behind Ling Tui Si? Brother Xiu, do you know who's behind Ling Tui Si?"

"I don't know." Ye Xiu shook his head. He truly didn't know.

In Lian Cheng Jue, Ling Tui Si was simply the leader of the Longsha Gang, seemingly without any other identities. Whether or not he had a mastermind behind him was never revealed in Lian Cheng Jue.

So Ye Xiu didn't know who was behind Ling Tui Si.

As for whether or not there was someone behind Ling Tui Si? Ye Xiu believed there was probably someone.

Just like the Jinbo Xunhua, this thing was extremely rare, extremely precious, and extremely rare. If Ling Tui Si was just a small-time prefect, a small-time leader of the Longsha Gang, then he would be in a difficult position. He probably didn't have the ability or the channels to obtain the Jinbo Xunhua.

Especially in this world of comprehensive martial arts, there were countless treacherous and ambitious individuals scheming within the martial arts world and even within the imperial court. Someone

like Ling Tui Si might actually have someone behind him.

Furthermore, the treasure of Liancheng Jue might actually be what the mastermind wanted, simply allowing Ling Tui Si to take center stage.

Just thinking about this, Ye Xiu suddenly felt that killing Ling Tui Si might not be a good decision.

Wan Zhenshan, Qi Changfa, and even the already-killed Yan Daping were weak and lacked strong connections; their deaths were theirs, and no one would care.

But someone like Ling Tui Si, with someone who might be backing him, would likely draw the attention of certain individuals or forces.

He and even the Huashan Sect might be in danger.

This thought gave Ye Xiu a second thought.

After all, there were still many ambitious individuals within the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the Iron-Hearted Marquis Zhu Wusi, the Prince of Ning in Jiangnan, the Prince of Pingnan, and so on. God knows how many schemes these people have devised.

However, Ye Xiu felt a little uncomfortable letting a villain like Ling Tui Si off like that. After all, a man who could suffocate his own daughter to death in a coffin was nothing short of a beast.

'Forget it, let Ling Tui Si go for now. It's all about strength; my current strength isn't enough. Give me some time, a year or two at most. When I'm strong enough to be considered a formidable figure in the martial arts world, I'll come back and kill Ling Tui Si.' Ye Xiu pondered silently, making this decision.

'Rong'er, let's leave Jingzhou City tomorrow,' Ye Xiu said to Huang Rong.

'Okay, but when are you going to take action against Ling Tui Si, Brother Xiu?'

'Not for now,' Ye Xiu shook his head.

"Huh? Why? Brother Xiu, don't you really dislike Ling Tui Si?"

"Because I'm not strong enough. Ling Tui Si might have some powerful force behind him. With my current strength, I could kill Ling Tui Si, but I might not be able to provoke the forces behind him." Ye Xiu said helplessly.

"The forces behind him?" Huang Rong's eyes rolled.

"Yes, you know I'm a disciple of the Huashan Sect. Without sufficient strength to protect Huashan, I can't cause too much trouble." Ye Xiu's tone was tinged with resignation.

Having power has its advantages, and not having power has its advantages.

Just like Ye Xiu right now, because of the Huashan Sect and his own lack of strength, he is inevitably somewhat constrained when doing things.

"Actually, Brother Xiu, you don't have to worry so much. Maybe there are many people who want to kill a villain like Ling Tui Si. They might kill him without you having to do anything." Huang Rong smiled mischievously.

"Maybe. But Ling Tui Si, at most, will only live for another two or three years." The bitterness on Ye Xiu's face disappeared, revealing a confident smile.

Huang Rong felt that Ye Xiu's confidence was justified. Not to mention Ye Xiu, even Huang Rong herself felt that in two or three years, she might be able to withstand the investigation of the forces behind Ling Tui Si.

In fact, if Ye Xiu was more careful, killed Ling Tui Si, and then cleaned up all the traces, it would be possible.

However, this approach is not so safe, especially since Ye Xiu is not a professional. Even if he cleaned up the traces, it might not be completely clean. If he left any clues and was discovered, it would be terrible.

After all, in this world, there are always some people in the Jinyiwei, the East Factory and the West Factory who are good at tracking and investigating. Ye Xiu felt that he might not be able to hide it from them.

That night.

"Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua have been rescued by me, and they are now living together happily."

"Similarly, we have obtained the Divine Illumination Sutra. The purpose of this trip has been achieved. I just don't know if the Divine Illumination Sutra can regenerate severed limbs and make Master a man again." "

But speaking of it, Ding Dian is really a good person. I asked him for the Divine Illumination Sutra, and he not only wrote it down for me, but also wrote down his own cultivation experience."

"Ding Dian has already cultivated the Divine Illumination Sutra to perfection. So, although his experience is of little use to me, to my Master, its value is almost as great as the Divine Illumination Sutra itself."

"I hope the Divine Illumination Sutra can achieve the expected effect, otherwise, this trip would have been in vain."

"That's not right. If it weren't for this action, I wouldn't have been able to meet Huang Rong again. So just meeting Huang Rong makes this trip worthwhile!"

"After all, Huang Rong is so cute, so well-behaved, so smart, and so beautiful... If you really miss Huang Rong, you will regret it."

"When I was saving Ling Shuanghua earlier, I took a pot of golden box flowers. However, after getting it, I didn't know what it was for, or how to use it."

"After all, I don't know how to use poison, so I don't know how to use golden box flowers well. Most importantly, I don't know how to prepare an antidote for golden box flowers."

"So to me, the Jinbo Xunhua is just a relatively powerful poison that can kill instantly - but how is it different from other ordinary poisons in this usage?" "

Forget it, just treat it as a bonsai. After all, it is quite beautiful in itself."

"Before, after rescuing Ding Dian, I deliberately left some traces to point the clues to the Wan Mansion. As expected, Ling Tui Si attacked Wan Zhenshan. After that, Wan Zhenshan never showed up again. I don't know if he was killed by Ling Tui Si, or caught, or if he escaped." "I

'm not sure. If he was killed or caught, it would be fine. If he ran away - then Wan Zhenshan's luck is too good. If he really ran away, I might as well take action against him and kill him."

"After all, there are not many good people in The Untold Story. When I watched the TV series, I wanted to kill all the bad guys except the protagonists."

"And Ling Tui Si -"

"In this messed up world of Zongwu, no one knows who's standing behind Ling Tui Si. What if it's a powerful force, such as the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi, the Prince of Ning, or the Prince of Pingnan, who are all bent on rebellion? Killing Ling Tui Si will only cause trouble." "

It's still because you're not strong enough. If you have enough power, you can do whatever you want after protecting Huashan."

"Wait a little longer, two or three years, just two or three years, then I shouldn't be afraid of guys like Zhu Wusi and the others. By then, I can kill Ling Tui Si if I want, and I can kill whoever I want without having to worry about too many things."

"Ling Tui Si, you're dead, I said. Even God can't save you!"

"Okay, in the world of Zongwu, I don't believe in God."

"Forget about that. I'll leave Jingzhou City tomorrow and go straight home. Master must be anxiously waiting. After all, it takes so long to practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism. What if Master gets used to his current style and even still likes wearing floral dresses and putting on makeup?

That would be a disaster." After Ye Xiu finished writing in his diary, Huang Rong, who was sitting next door, read the new entry with a beaming smile, her face filled with happiness. She hadn't expected Ye Xiu to treat her so well.

Huang Rong not only checked Ye Xiu's favorability rating, but also discovered that it had already reached 78 points, almost reaching 80.

This made Huang Rong even happier, and she even slept with the diary in her arms, unwilling to let go.

Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan, far away in Huashan, were overjoyed to see Ye Xiu had obtained the Divine Illumination Sutra. However, their expressions changed slightly when they saw Ye Xiu finally face Yue Buqun's concerns.

"Um, Mom, Dad—" Yue Lingshan's face was filled with worry.

"Shan'er, don't let your imagination run wild. Can't you see? This is just something your Senior Brother Ye wrote randomly. And even if the Sword Manual of Exorcism requires castration to practice swordplay, it's impossible for someone to wear a flowery dress and put on makeup while practicing." Ning Zhongze patted Yue Lingshan's head and said with a smile.

Seeing Ning Zhongze like this, Yue Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, then I'll go back first."

"Go back, go to bed early, don't stay up too long. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to practice martial arts tomorrow morning." Ning Zhongze casually reminded Yue Lingshan.

"I know, Mom!" Yue Lingshan responded with a smile.

After Yue Lingshan disappeared, Ning Zhongze's eyes flashed with anxiety and uneasiness. Yue Buqun had come out of seclusion two days ago, but she always felt that there might be something wrong with him. She kept feeling like her dressing mirror had been tampered with, and so had her clothes. "Brother, you shouldn't be wearing a flowery dress, right?"

...

"Ling Tui Si? Humph, a mere prefect?" Dongfang Bubai, who had already left Blackwood Cliff and was heading towards Jingzhou City, sneered after reading Ye Xiu's diary entry, completely dismissing Ling Tui Si.

Indeed, that was true. Dongfang Bubai had merely glanced at the diary and already sentenced Ling Tui Si.

What displeased Dongfang Bubai was Ye Xiu's attitude when he mentioned Huang Rong in the diary.

Although Dongfang Bubai knew Huang Rong was intelligent, and although she also knew that Ye Xiu's favorability towards her would definitely increase if she and Ye Xiu were given some alone time together,

she hadn't expected Ye Xiu to treat Huang Rong so warmly in such a short period of time.

This was treatment she, Dongfang Bubai, had never experienced.

Dongfang Bubai was jealous, a little jealous of Huang Rong.

But Dongfang Bubai would not admit defeat. She felt that as long as she wanted, she could definitely become the person closest to Ye Xiu.

As for Ling Tui Si, since Ye Xiu hated him so much, he might as well be crushed to death. This would not only make Ye Xiu mention her name more often in his diary after hearing the news, but also increase Ye Xiu's favorability towards her.

...

"Really, why think so much? If you want to kill, just kill him directly. You are so hesitant and not decisive at all. But Jin Boxunhua, I didn't expect to see news about Jin Boxunhua. This can be considered an unexpected gain." The girl in purple looked at the diary, shaking her head and complaining.

This girl was Ah Zi, but the girl who originally looked very beautiful now looked a little embarrassed.

Her clothes were a little worn out, torn in some places, and a little dusty.

"Ah, why didn't you write down the exact location of the Beiming Divine Art in your diary? I've been searching for it in Wuliang Mountain for half a month, and I haven't found it. Could it be a scam?" Ah Zi couldn't help but lament.

Ah Zi had even given up the Transformation Technique and the Divine Wood King Cauldron for the Beiming Divine Art. Now, she'd been sitting in Wuliang Mountain, covered in dust and dirt, for half a month, with nothing to show for it.

"Huh? What's going on over there?" Ah Zi was complaining when she suddenly noticed something a little different. Her eyes lit up, and she rushed over.

It was a very hidden path, almost obscured by the dense jungle. If Ah Zi hadn't stumbled upon it, she might not have noticed it.

Ah Zi hurriedly followed the path, and soon she came to a cave.

"Hahaha, found it, finally found it, I finally found the Beiming Divine Art. I knew, Ah Zi, my efforts would not be in vain." Ah Zi happily began to search for the Beiming Divine Art in the cave.

However, Ah Zi discovered rows of bookshelves, and on top of them were notes with phrases like "Eighteen Breaks of Qingcheng" and "Shaolin Dragon Claw.

" However, there were only notes on the bookshelves, no martial arts secrets at all! It was as if these martial arts secrets had already been taken away.

Ah Zi's face darkened, and she quickly searched through the rows of bookshelves. Not only could she not find the secrets of the Beiming Divine Art, but she couldn't even find a note with the words "

Beiming Divine Art" on it. "What's going on? Why isn't it here? Isn't the Beiming Divine Art here? Or has it been taken?" Ah Zi scanned the cave, and soon, she spotted a statue.

A remarkably beautiful statue.

From the skin to the clothing, it looked almost lifelike.

Most importantly, Ah Zi discovered that the statue was surprisingly beautiful, even a little more beautiful than herself.

She was already furious at not being able to find the Divine Art of the North Sea, but then there was a statue here that looked even better than her in person. Ah Zi was furious, and the consequences were dire.

Bang!

The statue was toppled to the ground by Ah Zi. Not content with that, she even smashed it, destroying it.

Looking at the shattered statue, now unrecognizable, Ah Zi's mood brightened.

Then, Ah Zi discovered a line of words engraved at the foot of the statue: "Kowtowing a thousand times, and serving my command." She also discovered a torn cushion, which looked as if something was missing.

"Ah!!! My Divine Art of the North Sea! My Divine Art of the North Sea was stolen! Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Ah Zi cursed through gritted teeth.

"Hmph, according to the diary, the person who obtained the Divine Art of the North Sea from here must have been my adopted brother Duan Yu. Duan Yu, humph, next I'm going to find Duan Yu and take the Divine Art from him." Ah Zi angrily made a decision and left.

After leaving Wuliang Mountain, A Zi found the right direction and headed towards Dali.

And because she had spent so much effort but failed to find the Beiming Divine Art, A Zi was still very angry, so on the way to Dali, she disliked everyone and poisoned people at every turn.

It didn't take long before several people died at the hands of A Zi.

A Zi really didn't take human life seriously at all.

This is also because she grew up in the Xingxiu Sect and grew up in that kind of sinister, calculating, vicious and cruel environment.

If A Zi was not cruel enough and vicious enough, she would not even have lived this long.

Of course, no matter what the living environment is, A Zi's current situation is almost useless.
