Chapter 966: Chapter 965: Are We Really Going to Hand Over the Heavenly Star Grass? (1 Update)

”Uncle Liu, this statement of yours is a bit improper, isn’t it? The Heavenly Star Grass is so precious that it should naturally belong to the Sect. Although you are a member of the Liu Family, you are also part of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. You should keep the Sect’s interests in mind.”

Xue Tao didn’t even give Ye Haochuan a chance to reply and preemptively struck up the official tone.

The brocade-clad elder was indeed a high-ranking member of the Liu Family, named Liu Tang, and his status within the family was not low.

Liu Tang smiled faintly and said, ”The Liu Family is also part of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. If the strength of the Liu Family’s disciples increases, it is also a contribution to the Sect, don’t you agree, my worthy nephew?”

In terms of spouting bureaucratic jargon, Liu Tang naturally wouldn’t lose to a junior.

As the two were in the heat of discussion, a woman’s voice came from one side.

”You two, people from my Phantom Sound Pavilion have also been guarding this place for several days. To decide the fate of the Heavenly Star Grass among yourselves, isn’t that a bit too unkind?”

The speaker was a rather attractive woman in her early thirties, with a pretty face, radiating the allure of a ripe persimmon, emanating an enticing aura all over.

In comparison, Zhu Qingshuang and Long Piaoying who were by Ye Haochuan’s side were each several times more beautiful than her. However, due to the Phantom Sound Pavilion’s expertise in the cultivation of charms, this woman appeared incredibly seductive.

And behind this woman, Tang Yun was staring coldly at Ye Haochuan, her eyes filled with hatred.

Alas, I seem to run into this dwarf everywhere!

Ye Haochuan looked at Tang Yun, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

”Which of the Enchanting Ten Charms might this lady be?”

However, the speaker wasn’t Xue Tao or Liu Tang, but a middle-aged man with a strong presence who approached from another direction. Judging by his scholarly demeanor, he must be from the Institute of Extensive Learning.

Holy moly, all the big forces are here; my reputation seems far too great, doesn’t it?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile smugly to himself.

Since things had already come this far, the arrival of a few more forces wasn’t a big deal, so Ye Haochuan was not only not anxious but had actually become more composed.

”Who would have thought he’d be here too!” Long Piaoying suddenly exclaimed in astonishment.

”He? Is he that formidable?” Ye Haochuan asked curiously.

”Bai Qing, one of the Divine Brush Judge Yang Sen’s seven Disciples. Although he’s the one with the lowest talent, he has cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Peak and is known as the number one below Core Formation. He goes by the nickname, ’Soul Severing Stroke’!” Long Piaoying spoke with a serious expression.

Goodness me, even the one with the weakest talent dares to claim the title of number one below Core Formation? Are all the other six at Core Formation level? How is anyone supposed to live up to that?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but inwardly sigh; still, it seemed reasonable—if one’s talent were too poor, how could they become a disciple of the Divine Brush Judge?

”I didn’t expect to see Senior Bai here! I am Du Meixue, ranking ninth among the Enchanting Ten Charms,” said the woman respectfully.

”The Enchanting Ten Charms? What’s that all about?” Ye Haochuan asked curiously, turning to Zhu Qingshuang by his side.

Zhu Qingshuang’s face looked somewhat unhappy, but she still explained: ”The Enchanting Ten Charms is a personal guard group established by my master, all personally trained by him. They were not well-known while my master was around, but now they have gradually made a name for themselves.”

”Isn’t she your martial sister since she’s also your master’s creation?” Ye Haochuan asked with some curiosity.

”No!” Zhu Qingshuang shook her head and said, ”Though she was indeed created by my master, she wasn’t my master’s disciple, merely a guard. My master seldom took disciples throughout his life, and I was the only one, from beginning to end.”

”So, does that mean you’re sort of their master too?” Ye Haochuan asked with interest.

”When my master was around, I suppose I was somewhat like a half-master to them. But now, they probably don’t even recognize me anymore!” Zhu Qingshuang said with a bitter smile. ”They were never satisfied with me being higher in status, and once Gongsun Zhi stirred things up a bit, they abandoned me without hesitation.”

Ye Haochuan was barely able to understand the emotions Zhu Qingshuang was experiencing now. When her master had suddenly passed away, those who followed her master started drifting away, and even the closest and most trusted Phantom Sound were gone. How desperate must she have been back then?

”Don’t worry, as long as you follow this genius, sooner or later, you’ll become a kick-ass figure just like your master!” Ye Haochuan said with earnest gravity.

”Pfft!” Zhu Qingshuang suddenly laughed at Ye Haochuan’s comment and said, ”If that day really comes, I’ll marry you!”

Having said that, Zhu Qingshuang’s face couldn’t help but blush.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Haochuan instinctively felt pleased, but upon further thought, he felt immensely frustrated.

What’s this joke? To wait until the Nascent Soul stage to marry me, how long would that be?

However, now was clearly not the time to argue about this. The sudden appearance of so many powerful experts around him got Ye Haochuan a little excited.

Especially Bai Qing, who was known as the number one person below Core Formation, emitted a strong sense of righteousness that made him easily likable.

Among these factions, only Institute of Extensive Learning had no grievances with him. If things really forced his hand, he could consider seeking refuge with Bai Qing.

Watching the experts from Phantom Sound Pavilion and Institute of Extensive Learning arrive made Xue Tao a bit uneasy, but he still mustered the courage to say, ”Senior experts, these people are all from Ancient Martial Arts Sect. This is an internal matter of our sect, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to interfere?”

”What are you talking about, Xue? We’re all members of Xuanmen, wouldn’t you be trying to stir up trouble within our ranks?” Du Meixue’s voice was enchanting and gentle, but her words contained a hidden edge.

Xue Tao immediately broke into a cold sweat. He couldn’t bear such an accusation and hurriedly explained, ”Junior didn’t mean that. I just think that since Ye Haochuan is from Ancient Martial Arts Sect, he would naturally protect his own sect. Isn’t that right?”

The last half of his sentence was naturally directed at Ye Haochuan. Seeing his smug grin, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sneer.

Even at this point, he was still threatening me with that self-righteous expression, which is simply foolish.

”What are you talking about? Although I am from Ancient Martial Arts Sect, I am also a member of Xuanmen. The Heavenly Star Grass belongs to Xuanmen, and it should be given to those who need it most to maximize its value, right?” Ye Haochuan suddenly chuckled.

”Are you really going to give away the Heavenly Star Grass?” Although Long Piaoying knew this was inevitable, she still involuntarily asked.

”Don’t worry, I have my plans!” Ye Haochuan gave Long Piaoying a reassuring look.

Seeing this, Zhu Qingshuang, although not completely relieved, didn’t say anything more.

Upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, the happiest ones were naturally Du Meixue and Bai Qing. If Ye Haochuan insisted on giving the Heavenly Star Grass to someone from his own sect, they wouldn’t have much to say.

”Little brother, as long as you give the Heavenly Star Grass to me, whatever you ask for, I’ll agree to it!” Du Meixue said with an extremely seductive voice. Clearly, she used a charming technique while speaking.

”As for who needs the Heavenly Star Grass most, I’m afraid I, Bai Qing, am the best candidate. Young man, if you give me the Heavenly Star Grass, I’ll owe you a favor!” True to his surname, Bai Qing spoke very directly.
