Chapter 1123: Chapter 1122: Wearing Too Much (1st Update)

Following the desert incident, the Phantom Sound Pavilion lost all traces of Zhu Qingshuang. No matter how much they searched, they couldn’t find any sign of her. The suspicion arose that the Long Alliance was harboring her, so they decided to send someone to visit in person.

On this day, Liu Meiyu, one of the Ten Charms of Miao Sound, visited the Long Alliance with a couple of confidants.

Ye Haochuan was not present, so Huo Mengyao naturally received them.

Huo Mengyao first invited Liu Meiyu into the reception hall and then sent someone to notify Ye Haochuan. After all, Liu Meiyu was a Core Formation Early Stage expert. If she wanted to deal with the Long Alliance, no one could stop her in Ye Haochuan’s absence.

Liu Meiyu’s expression remained gloomy and solemn, and her tone of speaking was abrupt, which made Huo Mengyao a bit uneasy.

In the reception hall, Huo Mengyao cautiously asked, ”May I know the purpose of the friends from Phantom Sound Pavilion suddenly visiting the Long Alliance?”

Liu Meiyu said, ”Have you seen the Kill List issued by our Phantom Sound Pavilion?”

Huo Mengyao deflected, ”Kill List? Sorry, I’ve been busy handling the affairs of the Long Alliance, and honestly haven’t had the time to pay attention to any Kill List.”

Liu Meiyu knew this was Huo Mengyao’s pretext and said, ”Our Phantom Sound Pavilion’s traitor, Zhu Qingshuang, privately stole the sect’s supreme treasure, the Red Moon Ancient Zither. The sect, considering past affections, has been lenient with her, hoping for her repentance. Yet, she remains incorrigible and refuses to return the zither. Our sect’s Elders Council has decided to place Zhu Qingshuang on the Kill List.”

Huo Mengyao, upon hearing this, asked puzzledly, ”This is your Phantom Sound Pavilion’s matter, what does it have to do with the Long Alliance?”

Liu Meiyu continued, ”Our sect has placed Zhu Qingshuang on the Kill List. If anyone captures this traitor and returns the ancient zither, Phantom Sound Pavilion will richly reward them. But if anyone intends to harbor her, our Phantom Sound Pavilion will definitely investigate thoroughly!”

Huo Mengyao said, ”I regret hearing about your sect’s supreme treasure going missing, but since our Long Alliance is newly established and overwhelmed with affairs, we truly can’t spare anyone to assist.”

Huo Mengyao was using Taichi techniques with her words, which instantly angered Liu Meiyu, who smacked the table and said, ”Are you claiming Zhu Qingshuang has nothing to do with your Long Alliance?!”

Liu Meiyu unleashed the pressure of a Core Formation Expert, oppressing Huo Mengyao until she could hardly breathe, a nameless fear rising in her heart.

”Your personal matters have nothing to do with our Long Alliance,” Huo Mengyao argued with reason under the immense pressure.

Liu Meiyu suddenly stood up, her eyes sharp, emanating coldness that forced Huo Mengyao to avert her gaze.

”Hmph, what does it have to do with your Long Alliance?” Liu Meiyu scoffed, ”At the Lingyun Manor Alliance Gathering, the Long Alliance won the honor of Supreme Alliance and became renowned. If my information is correct, during the matches at the Alliance Gathering, Zhu Qingshuang, represented the Long Alliance, didn’t she?”

This was a well-known fact that Huo Mengyao could not refute, nor could she argue, as Zhu Qingshuang representing the Long Alliance showed that she was with the Long Alliance.

Seeing Huo Mengyao speechless, Liu Meiyu pressed again, ”Do you still dare to say Zhu Qingshuang has nothing to do with your Long Alliance?!”

Under Liu Meiyu’s imposing manner, Huo Mengyao couldn’t speak for a while, sweat pouring from her forehead.

Just as Huo Mengyao was at her wit’s end, Ye Haochuan’s voice suddenly came, ”Yes, Zhu Qingshuang is a member of the Long Alliance, so what?”

Liu Meiyu turned around, her brows furrowed, ”Alliance Master Ye, you finally arrived!”

Ye Haochuan replied indifferently, ”What do you mean I finally arrived? Don’t make it sound like a lover being late for a date with lamentation!”

Surprisingly, Liu Meiyu was taken aback, realizing that Ye Haochuan remained so calm under her pressure, seemingly unaffected.

”Also, isn’t your Phantom Sound Pavilion being a bit too arrogant? Now that the Long Alliance is the dignified Supreme Alliance, you came in exerting Core Formation pressure, are you trying to show off your cultivation here, or is this the way Phantom Sound Pavilion treats its guests?”

Liu Meiyu was left speechless by Ye Haochuan’s words, immediately withdrawing her pressure. Only then did Huo Mengyao feel relieved, taking deep breaths.

Ye Haochuan looked at Huo Mengyao and asked with concern, ”Are you okay?”

Huo Mengyao shook her head, ”I’m fine.”

”Good to hear. You can go ahead and get busy, leave this to me.”

Huo Mengyao nodded, ”The visitors come with ill intentions; you be careful too.” With that, she left.

At this time, Ye Haochuan again focused his gaze on Liu Meiyu’s figure, sighing, ”They say each of the Ten Charms of Miao Sound is more alluring than the last. Seeing you today, it’s indeed not a false reputation, but there’s something not so good about it...”

”What’s not good?”

”Just dressed too much, it’s a bit unsatisfying to look at!” With that, Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Eyes, politely peeking at Liu Meiyu’s body.

As a Core Formation expert, Liu Meiyu’s perception was exceedingly sharp. The moment Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Eyes, she felt like she was being watched.

”Hmph, have you seen enough!” Liu Meiyu slammed the table, pulling Ye Haochuan back to reality.

”Oh... what a pity, such a beautiful person, yet regarded as a player among many.”

”Show some respect when you speak!” Though not as experienced as Ye Haochuan, Liu Meiyu understood the implication of being called a player among many.

Ye Haochuan shrugged, ”I’m just stating a fact. You’ve enjoyed yourself, and others can’t even comment?”

Liu Meiyu’s face was dark with anger, her fury ignited with just a few remarks from Ye Haochuan.

”Hmph, Ye Haochuan, I’m not here for verbal sparring with you today. Tell me, where is Zhu Qingshuang?” Liu Meiyu changed the subject.

Ye Haochuan crossed his arms, ”Are you asking me or interrogating me?”

”Think as you wish!”

”Alright, if you’re asking, sorry, I have no obligation to tell you; if you’re interrogating, even more sorry, I won’t tell you!”

Liu Meiyu immediately countered, ”Ye Haochuan, are you planning to oppose our Phantom Sound Pavilion?”

”Don’t put labels on me. If you’re looking for Zhu Qingshuang, go ahead and find her. Coming to the Long Alliance demanding a person, what is this? Assuming without evidence that the Long Alliance is harboring Zhu Qingshuang?” Ye Haochuan retorted firmly.

”Zhu Qingshuang is with your Long Alliance; who else should we look for?”

”Ridiculous!” Ye Haochuan coldly said, ”There are many members of the Long Alliance, not just from your Phantom Sound Pavilion; all other sects and groups have members with the Long Alliance. Is the Long Alliance supposed to take responsibility whenever someone goes missing?”

”Hmph, I don’t care about other sects, I only know Zhu Qingshuang is with your Long Alliance!”

”So what? The Long Alliance never restricts the freedom of its members, nor do we meddle in their sect’s affairs. Whatever personal vendettas you have, I don’t care, but if your Phantom Sound Pavilion thinks the Long Alliance is easy to bully, then you better ask me, Ye Haochuan, first!”

”You...”

”What do you mean, ’you’!” Ye Haochuan said sharply, ”The person your Phantom Sound Pavilion is looking for is not in the Long Alliance. Please leave!”
