Chapter 516: Chapter 513: Leak

She didn’t expect Chu Zhiyuan to be so thoughtful.

She had just been worrying about how to gather the strange fruit, something her grandfather and the others couldn’t manage.

The princely heir went in to clear out some of these creatures, but there are certainly more inside.

Even if her grandfather and the others went in, it would be difficult to last long. They knew these creatures feared the juice of the strange fruit, but couldn’t obtain it.

If the princely heir could willingly help in gathering it, it would be great, truly a big help.

”Is the princely heir going back to Yujing now?”

”Yes, there are some matters that need to be dealt with first,” Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”It’s all planned out, can’t delay it.”

”The princely heir’s matters are important.” Qu Ying quickly nodded.

She very much wanted Chu Zhiyuan to go pick the strange fruit now, but she knew this was just helping, so Chu Zhiyuan’s matters had to come first.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Qu Ying watched him curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan met her bright eyes and pondered, ”Regarding the secret land, I’ve always been reluctant to speak out, but Miss Qu, your sincerity makes it hard for me to remain silent.”

Qu Ying blinked her bright eyes: ”The princely heir can speak freely.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The correct path for the Flying Sky Sect still lies with the Military Suppression Department, not this secret land.”

Qu Ying slightly furrowed her eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Although martial artists and innate disciples can enter the secret land, it’s best if only great grandmasters do, otherwise too many masters will be lost.”

Qu Ying nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”It’s best to enter the secret land in alliance with the Court’s great grandmasters, don’t enter on your own.”

Qu Ying nodded, ”Entering on your own would surely displease the Emperor, right?”

”Not quite,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”The Court’s great grandmasters have more experience... the Four Great Grottos and Four Great Secret Lands have knowledge not known to outsiders.”

Qu Ying solemnly nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”That experience is exchanged for lives, unless you Flying Sky Sect dare to sacrifice disciples’ lives to exchange for experience.”

Qu Ying’s expression slightly darkened.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, ”To be honest, Master Lu...as the leader of one of the Four Great Sects, his vision is far too limited.”

Qu Ying gently shook her head, ”The sect master is still very wise.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”If he were wise, he wouldn’t be so greedy, leading Flying Sky Sect step by step into the abyss without realizing it, exploring the secret land privately, how many more must die?”

Qu Ying remained silent.

Many masters have indeed died in the secret land, even thinking about it is heartbreaking.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, ”Flying Sky Sect originally didn’t have to lose those masters.”

Qu Ying quickly shook her head, ”Although the decision was made by the sect master, it was discussed with the elders and senior brothers, we can’t entirely blame the sect master.”

”What does it mean to be a sect master? Being able to see clearly at critical moments, not following blindly, maintaining composure,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Qu Ying quickly said, ”The sect master is also thinking for the good of the Flying Sky Sect.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”With good intentions, yet blinded by greed, thinking himself clever, are the Emperor and Court fools! Doesn’t he realize he himself is the biggest fool!”

He was blunt, long dissatisfied with Lu Donghu’s pettiness.

As one of the Four Great Sects, such pettiness is indeed laughable.

Qu Ying hurriedly said, ”Princely Heir!”

Her jade-like face already bore a pleading expression.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, ”If they still don’t wake up, it’s obvious what will become of Flying Sky Sect.”

Not waiting for Qu Ying to speak, he waved his hand, ”Enough, I’ll say no more, whether you listen or not is up to them, up to you Flying Sky Sect.”

”...Thank you, Princely Heir.”

Qu Ying gently nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”This unpleasant advice will definitely make Master Lu think that I don’t want Flying Sky Sect to gain too much.”

”The sect master is very wise.” Qu Ying said.

”This is just my personal opinion, it may not be correct, after all, everyone’s position and perspective are different,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I’m leaving now, I’ll be back in a few days.”

”Let me see you off, Princely Heir.” Qu Ying said quickly.

As she accompanied Chu Zhiyuan down the mountain, she kept pondering his words.

She didn’t completely believe everything he said.

After all, he is the princely heir, he wouldn’t truly side with Flying Sky Sect.

These words are not entirely to be heeded, but they do have a point.

The biggest issue is experience.

The lack of experience in the Secret Land resulted in brothers and uncles within the sect either dying or getting injured.

Seeking fortunes from risks, they held this belief, feeling the deaths were worth it.

But now thinking about it, what if they had reported to the Court in the beginning, what would have happened?

Would the Court have given rewards?

Would they agree if they asked for the Court’s great grandmaster to enter the Secret Land for exploration?

In her mind, familiar faces appeared, all brothers who died in the Secret Land.

For a moment, her emotions were complex and indescribable.

——

Chu Zhiyuan rode the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse back to Purple Sun Villa in less than half a day.

The villa was lively.

Outside the villa was a crowd resembling the White Bone Tower, inside were Xiao Ruoling and the others.

Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, Xu Yingying, and four great grandmasters protecting them were in hidden places.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan return, they gathered around and were instantly attracted by the two spirit cats on his shoulders.

Their plain hands reached out to touch them.

The two spirit cats dodged, avoiding the jade hands, and hovered in the air.

Xu Yingying curiously asked, ”Where did these come from? They’re adorable!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Obtained from Flying Sky Sect’s secret land, they’re demon beasts, be careful.”

As he spoke, he entered the room to wash up with the help of the four women including Mo Qi.

After washing up, they were already playing with the two spirit cats.

Xu Yingying and Shen Hanyue each entangled with a spirit cat, chasing after them.

Their graceful figures flashed continuously, pushing their movements to the extreme.

But with speed unmatched by even great grandmasters, the two girls were quite embarrassed, yet thoroughly enjoying it.

Xiao Ruoling sat watching the fun in a small pavilion.

In a snow-white gauze dress, her skin appeared like jade, like a white jade fairy.

Chu Zhiyuan sat beside her, smiling, ”They can’t catch them.”

The two spirit cats have keen intuition, able to sense goodwill and malice.

The goodwill from the two girls was sensed, so they didn’t harm but teased them.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Who’s playing tricks on whom is unclear.

”What amazing speed.” Xiao Ruoling marveled, ”The demon beasts in that secret land must be formidable, right?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”More dangerous than the secret land of Yao Yue Palace.”

”Only great grandmasters should venture in, then.” Xiao Ruoling lightly nodded, ”Flying Sky Sect is surely eager to rush in and die, aren’t they?”

”Quite a few masters have died.”

”It’s inevitable.” Xiao Ruoling gently nodded, ”People die for wealth, birds die for food, they can’t resist temptation.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”I tried to advise them once, probably useless, the same tendency prevails, united in rushing to their deaths.”

Xiao Ruoling handed over a cup of tea, ”This is the path they chose, can’t blame others.”

”How are things here?”

”There’s one piece not leaked yet.”

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, ”Heavenly Heart Sect is quite capable, not letting anything slip.”

”I’ve already arranged it,” Xiao Ruoling said, ”News will be out tomorrow.”

The initial distribution of the three pieces of jade pendant was selective, aiming at the sects Chu Zhiyuan most wanted to destroy.

One at Yuding Sect, one at Huaisu Sect, and one at Heavenly Heart Sect.

He also wanted to verify whether Li Hongzhao’s information was true, whether the location of Yuding Sect’s main altar was correct.

Only Heavenly Heart Sect managed to keep the piece, not leaking the news.

But since they didn’t leak it, we’ll help them leak it, some help I’m willing to provide, by tomorrow the taverns of Yujing City will be abuzz.
