Chapter 278

~8 min read 1,553 words

So only Lian Niushang remained alone.

Now, her plan has reached its final stage.

What choice Zhuo Yihang Society will make, whether life or death, the answer will soon be revealed.

Jinzhou, the branch headquarters of Cihang Jingzhai.

Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao exchanged a glance; the latter said in surprise: "She has also come to Jinzhou, and has already met the diary's owner."

Shi Feixuan's eyes shifted, and she said lightly: "We cannot fall too far behind. Should the diary's owner be seduced and turn to the Yingui Sect, it would be detrimental to Cihang Jingzhai; that would be a great trouble."

Qin Mengyao nodded her jade head slightly, indicating agreement.

She then asked: "What do you think, if we ask him for the 'Rulai Divine Palm', will he be willing to give it?"

Shi Feixuan fell silent for a moment, thinking of her own favorability score, and said: "If we were to learn it ourselves, he would certainly agree, but to make a copy and send it to Cihang Jingzhai is basically impossible."

Qin Mengyao propped her chin with her small hand and sighed: "It seems the mission entrusted to us by the Sect Master is destined to remain unfulfilled."

Shi Feixuan remained silent.

Back then, the two of them had planned to find Jiang Sishui, first entering the realm of love and then breaking through it, seeking the state of "Sword Heart Illumination".

However, before they had gone far, they were recalled to Cihang Jingzhai.

The Sect Master, Fan Qinghui, issued a mission for them to go to Jinzhou and assist the Righteous Path.

If necessary, they could bring the secret manual of the "Rulai Divine Palm" back to Di Ta Peak to cut off the source of the conflict.

The two women thus changed their itinerary.

However, not long after, they saw that Jiang Sishui was also coming to Jinzhou, and his purpose was the same as theirs, so they felt relieved.

In any case, since they would meet anyway, seeking him out actively was the same as waiting for a rabbit by a tree stump.

【The Night Emperor took a liking to her, followed her all the way, like a piece of chewing gum that couldn't be shaken off.】

【Fortunately, I happened to stumble upon this matter.】

【Although he did not use force to compel her at that time, who knows when his patience might run out or his desire might become unbearable, and he might use it then?】

【Just like Yang Xiao in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".】

【Yang Xiao was dashing and elegant, cold and aloof; after meeting the Emei disciple Ji Xiaofu, he fell in love with her at first sight.】

【However, Yang Xiao was the Left Light Envoy of the Mo Sect, and the Mo Sect was regarded by the martial world as the Demon Sect, making it impossible for the Mo Sect and the Emei Sect, representing righteousness and evil, to coexist.】

【Furthermore, Ji Xiaofu was already engaged at the time, so unless something unexpected happened, the two of them simply could not be together.】

【Later, Yang Xiao also realized this point.】

【So he changed his strategy, shifting directly from following her to forcibly taking her by force of arms.】

【Yang Xiao was both righteous and unorthodox, yet his conduct always had principles; before meeting Ji Xiaofu, he probably would not have believed that he himself would do such a thing.】

【It shows that "even heroes cannot pass the Beauty Pass"; beauty can make people lose their reason.】

【Who knows when the Night Emperor might also act like Yang Xiao and resort to force?】

Qingzhou, Mount Kunlun.

On Zuo Wang Peak, Yang Buhui widened her eyes, her small face full of disbelief: "Mother was actually... by Father... he... this... how is this possible?!"

Seeing the content of the diary, the young girl was instantly thrown into chaos.

She had originally thought that her father and mother coming together would certainly involve a sweet love story, but she never expected the truth to be so.

This differed from her fantasies by a hundred thousand li.

"No! That's not right! If Mother was truly forced by Father 430, how could she have named me 'Buhui'?"

"Buhui, Buhui, never regret!"

Yang Buhui shook her head, feeling that the plot must have changed again; her father would never do such a thing.

"Yes! It must be so!"

Yang Buhui clenched her fists to encourage herself.

Suzhou, Mantuo Shanzhuang.

"Following and spying? Would Uncle Night force her by martial power?"

Huang Rong turned her brain, recalling the Night Emperor's past words and deeds, guessing whether he would act like Yang Xiao.

Thinking seriously...

Giving up thinking!

Just as Jiang Sishui said, beauty can make people lose their reason; before Yang Xiao forcibly took Ji Xiaofu, he also did not expect that he would do such a thing.

Therefore, one cannot infer the Night Emperor's actions according to common sense.

"Is Big Brother Chu, the Night Emperor's disciple, also influenced by his Master, which is why he is so irresponsible toward women?"

"Because obtaining things too easily makes them unworthy of cherishing?"

Huang Rong showed a look of contemplation.

However, what can be certain is that the Night Emperor is most likely in grave danger.

Because he encountered Jiang Sishui.

Traveling together... opposition...

Having these two factors, Wuhua and the Happy King are his precedents!

308 Fairy and Demoness, the Demoness lost.

As expected, Jiang Sishui wrote --

【This girl has good insight; she can actually see that I can protect her from incoming enemies.】

【Uh... of course, given her Demoness personality, it is not impossible that she is holding the idea of 'whether there are dates or not, give the pole a swing', using me as a shield.】

【As for which one, it doesn't matter】

【Dealing with this scumbag who harms women, it is naturally my bounden duty】

【So I directly crippled the Night Emperor!】

【Although he didn't end up dying in the end — he was rescued by a mysterious person — but for the rest of his life he was also forever cut off from women】

【Unless he could find a treasure like the "Remains of Luomo"】

"Bounden duty? Pfft! You sure talk a good game."

With the examples of Youhua and the Happy King before them, how could the women not know what Jiang Sishui was thinking?

He was worried the Night Emperor would beat him to it and snatch away the women he had taken a fancy to, so he took the initiative and dealt with the Night Emperor first.

"The Remains of Luomo? What is that? Cut off from women for the rest of his life?"

Although Jiang Sishui hadn't said it outright, connecting the context before and after, they could roughly guess what kind of "crippling" Jiang Sishui meant.

"Hiss — that really is ruthless!"

……

"Ha! That old man actually became a eunuch, yay!"

They cheered, clapping and applauding.

Jiang Sishui's move undoubtedly vented a great deal of pent-up anger for the two of them, master and disciple!

【Let's talk more】

【Adapted from the Huang-series novel "Legend of the Great Tang Twins"】

【The story is set against the backdrop of the Great Sui】

【Because Sui Emperor Yang Guang taxed heavily and acted tyrannically, debauched and immoral, the Great Sui's Jiangshan was tottering, with beacons of war rising on all sides】

【Various rebel armies rose up one after another, and many powerful clans and aristocratic families sharpened their blades, all wanting to vie for the Jiangshan and replace the Great Sui】

【And the forces in the Great Sui's jianghu were roughly divided into the Orthodox and the Demonic paths】

【The Orthodox path was led by the Merciful Voyage Quiet Monastery, assisted by white-pathway forces such as the Pure Mind Chan Sect】

【Although the Demonic path had split into eight major sects, none willing to submit to the others, even fighting amongst themselves endlessly, there was no doubt that the Yingui Sect was the strongest】

【At a time when the world was in turmoil, neither the Orthodox nor the Demonic paths were willing to sit idle, each reaching into the court to back their own factions, intending to seize the Great Sui's realm】

【Among them, the Merciful Voyage Quiet Monastery, continuing its tradition, would, whenever chaos came, raise the banner of "choosing the Emperor on Heaven's behalf," and from among the many heroes of the troubled times select a wise lord to assist, aiming to help him swiftly end the chaos and unify the realm】

【The Yingui Sect, having long been suppressed by orthodox culture and excluded from the mainstream jianghu, was branded as the Demonic path by the white-pathway people, and so it deliberately opposed the Orthodox path at every turn】

【At that time, the Yingui Sect was led by the "Yin Empress" Zhu Yuyan, intending to disrupt the established order of the jianghu, rise up against the tide in the troubled times, surpass the white pathway, and become the new dominant force】

【But to put it plainly, the opposition between the two sects was actually a struggle between mainstream culture and heterodox thought】

"The Great Sui? Reaching into the court, contending for the realm?"

Seeing this, whether it was Lian Nichang, or Shi Feixuan, or Qin Mengyao, all were stunned.
