Chapter 712: Chapter 202 Mianshui and the Crocodile’s Treasure Revealed (Ten Thousand Words for Subscription)

”I’ve met Master Peng (Venerable).”

Everyone respectfully greeted Peng Yingyu. At that moment, after swallowing the bun he was eating, he said, ”You all are quite well-informed!”

Hearing this, the crowd glanced at each other but said nothing.

Peng Yingyu laughed and said, ”You can speak one at a time. What do you want from this monk?”

Upon hearing this, Ba Tan glanced at Zhao Ya and said, ”Commandery Princess, please.”

Before Zhao Ya could speak, from the other side, Yu Mei Zi suddenly knelt with a thud. ”This humble servant, Yu Mei Zi, has met the Venerable.”

Seeing this, Han He also knelt down.

Monk Peng glanced at Yu Mei Zi and said, ”I seem to remember you. You’re the one who’s always with Xiao Han.”

”Yes, indeed, I am the personal maid of Han Dharma King. On behalf of my lord, I greet the Venerable. Thirteen years ago, when the Venerable left the Holy Sect, my lord often spoke of you with great fondness. Alas, the Jianghu is so vast we’ve never had the chance to meet. But our lord said, should we meet the Venerable, we must relay a message on behalf of the Dharma King.”

Monk Peng looked at Yu Mei Zi and said, ”Oh? What message?”

”Actually, it’s also the intention of the Sect Hierarch, who wished for our Dharma King to convey it.”

Monk Peng looked at Yu Mei Zi, remaining silent, waiting for her to continue.

Yu Mei Zi said, ”She said: ’The Holy Sect will always await Left Venerate’s return. Left Venerate will forever be the Holy Sect’s Left Venerate, no matter the time or place.’”

”Hehehe...”

After hearing this, Monk Peng burst into laughter. The laughter frightened Yu Mei Zi because everything she’d just said was made up.

Han Miaozhen hadn’t said any such thing, and as for the Sect Hierarch, there was definitely no mention of wanting Peng Yingyu to return to Zoroastrianism. This was all made up by Yu Mei Zi on the spot, trying to play a card of sentiment.

Imagine if Peng Yingyu actually believed it and decided to return to the Holy Sect.

The merit of coaxing the return of the Left Venerable alone would be greater than subduing a hundred guild leaders like Chen Jiusi. Hence, the saying goes: Why not take the chance, for today could be the day when Yu Mei Zi achieves unprecedented merit for the Holy Sect.

And she felt the chances of success weren’t small.

Everyone knows that the Zoroastrian Three Venerables are as close as brothers, and her lady was practically raised in the care of the Left Venerable. Their relationship is exceptionally deep.

Given their relationship, playing the card of kinship, if the Left Venerable still held any affection, he couldn’t possibly ignore his bond with the Sect Hierarch. Perhaps he would change his heart. If so, there was a chance he could be swayed to return to the Holy Sect.

The return of one of the Three Venerables to the Holy Sect, such a feat alone would make offering her an elder position not the least excessive. Thus, Yu Mei Zi was full of thoughts of gambling little for great gain, of establishing unparalleled merit for the Holy Sect.

Peng Yingyu, on the other hand, immediately realized that this maid was lying.

Especially when she mentioned that Sect Hierarch Han Shantong also hoped for his return to the Holy Sect, which was impossible. Although good friends they were, and still are, the idea of Han Shantong asking Peng Yingyu, at this time, to return to the Holy Sect was for a fact, impossible.

Because the two had an ideological conflict. Do you understand what an ideological conflict is?

It’s an irreconcilable difference. For Peng Yingyu to return to Zoroastrianism, one of them would have to abandon their principles.

Either Peng Yingyu gives up on Xu Shouhui, or Han Shantong himself abandons the ambition to become Emperor and decides to support Peng Yingyu by endorsing Xu Shouhui, but both scenarios are impossible.

These top-level experts have their own principles. Many stick to their ways for a lifetime and are hard to change.

Thus, upon hearing Yu Mei Zi’s words, Peng Yingyu knew she was deceiving him, but he didn’t take her to task. Instead, he covered it with a hearty laugh.

”Haha... Alright, I understand. Do you have anything else?”

Peng Yingyu’s response was totally unexpected to Yu Mei Zi. Whether he agreed or not, he should’ve given some indication. He just laughed. What does that mean? He didn’t agree, but he didn’t disagree either. Should she celebrate or not?

But the Left Venerable said ’alright’. Could it be he agreed? Perhaps on her return, she could report to the lady, suggesting that Left Venerable had accepted her idea and was very likely to return to the Holy Sect. Then, would not she have played a grand role in this?

Thinking this way, she was somewhat lost in thought when Han He, at her side, said, ”Venerable Lord, what brings you to Mianshui on this occasion?”

Peng Yingyu looked at Han He, finding the young girl quite interesting. She reminded him of Han Miaozhen back in the day - smart and bold.

With such thoughts, Peng Yingyu said, ”Well, my purpose here is the same as yours—the Medicine King Treasure!”

”Ah!”

Upon hearing this, everyone present exclaimed in surprise, all at a loss as to why a famed figure in the Jianghu would be interested in the so-called Medicine King Treasure of Mianshui. After all, the most valuable item in the treasure was merely one Fire Phoenix Pill that could help one enter the Dragon Realm, and even that had been taken thirty years ago.

Now, what remained in the treasure were some Elixirs that might still benefit those in the Holding Core Realm. This time, not even a warrior of the Wolf Smoke Realm had come to Mianshui, precisely because of this reason.

While everyone was pondering this, Yu Mei Zi said, ”Haha, great, Venerable Lord, your arrival is most fortuitous. The Medicine King Treasure belongs to our Holy Sect. Please help by preventing these outsiders from entering the treasure and stealing our Holy Sect’s treasure.”

”Or perhaps, Venerable Lord, you could take matters into your own hands, capture all these people, and bring them back to the Holy Sect. Such a great achievement would surely delight the Sect Hierarch.”
