This beautiful woman was surprisingly Hua Qing Si, who separated from Yang Kai in the Shattered Star Sea. She was only a Third-Order Dao Source Realm cultivator when they parted, but she had gained her own opportunities in the Shattered Star Sea and had broken through to the Emperor Realm.

Hearing the middle-aged man’s question, Hua Qing Si pursed her lips and turned her head aside.

In the next moment, an ear-splitting scream tore from Hua Qing Si’s throat. She seemed to be suffering the most unbearable torture in the world and her pretty face was instantly distorted from the pain. Droplets of sweat rolled down her forehead, soaking her clothes in an instant.

The old man was motionless and did not even look at her, as if he had not heard nor seen anything.

“Honoured Master…” Hua Qing Si’s voice trembled, her face extremely pale as she gritted her teeth and pleaded, “I’ll tell him that you want that thing back. Please, Honoured Master… Stop and show him mercy. He is not an… unreasonable person, and this disciple is friends with him. I should be able to… Should be able to convince him, Honoured Master… Please give this Disciple a chance.”

The old man sighed slightly, a look of helplessness appearing on his face as he spoke, “Girls really do grow up only to side with outsiders.”

The old man stretched out his hand and lifted Hua Qing Si up, stating, “This Old Master knows that it is thanks to him that you were able to break through to the Emperor Realm, but you must not forget who taught you and who supported you all this time.”

The old man nodded, “It’s good that you understand. If it was something else, this Old Master would have allowed you the freedom to try; after all, you are now an Emperor Realm Master, and as Disciple of this Old Master, this Old Master is proud too, but… this matter is too important. The fewer people who know, the better. This Old Master sent you to inquire about information because he valued you, but you disappointed this Old Master.”

Although it was out of her control at that time when she had her Soul Brand taken by Yang Kai and was thrown into the Sealed World Bead, she really had failed the mission her Honoured Master had given her. Later, even though Yang Kai returned her freedom, she did not plan on reporting what happened due to the latter’s kindness towards her; she simply could not repay his grace with enmity, so she planned to just conceal her identity and never go back to Star Soul Palace as if the old Hua Qing Si had died.

However, she did not expect her Honoured Master to send her Senior Brother Wu Ming to trace her whereabouts to the Thousand Leaves Sect. Not only did he capture her, he even caused the extermination of the Thousand Leaves Sect.

Because there were a few people that Yang Kai valued greatly in the Thousand Leaves Sect, as long as they were captured, Yang Kai would definitely show up.

“How could this Old Master tolerate a little boy stealing his treasure? Qing Si, don’t think about it anymore. After this matter is over, return to Star Soul Palace with this Old Master and enter secluded retreat to reflect on your mistakes.” He waved his hand. Although his tone was flat, there was a faint trace of excitement flashing in those eyes.

It was still alright if that was all it was. Although such a storage artifact was precious and rare, it was just a storage artifact in the end and it would be impossible to use it at will if one did not cultivate the Dao of Space.

As an Elder of Star Soul Palace, this old man had a powerful cultivation at the Third-Order Emperor Realm and had lived a very long time, allowing him to see and learn about many things. By carefully studying the characteristics of the two sacred trees, he was almost certain that one of them was the legendary Immortal Tree.

If he could obtain the Immortal Tree and refine it, he would very likely become a Great Emperor, and would be able to stand on equal footing with Bright Moon Great Emperor!

As long as that boy was killed, those treasures would be his. There would not be anywhere he could not go after he refined the Immortal Tree.

Hua Qing Si’s expression dimmed, knowing that it was useless to continue persuading now.

Hua Qing Si raised her head to glare at him, gritting her teeth, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Bitch, you dare to talk back!?” Wu Ming’s face twitched as he lifted his hand to form a seal again.

“Enough.” The old man raised his hand slightly to stop Wu Ming, “Go to the auction venue and prepare everything. There must be no mistakes.”

Wu Ming clenched his hand bitterly as he glared at Hua Qing Si coldly, thinking [I’ll let you rest for a while. When this matter is over, I will treat you well with love after requesting Honoured Master to give you to me.]

Hua Qing Si did not dare to blame him aloud, but her heart was filled with bitterness. Her current situation was nothing like what a Master and Disciple should have, nor did it show any of the comradery a Senior Brother and Junior Sister should have. Her Honoured Master guarded her like she was a thief, and her Senior Brother looked at her with hatred. What was she to do? Where could she go? Even though she had reached the Emperor Realm, she had lost her direction in life.

“Boy, what’s your name?”

It was a young woman who stopped them. Her appearance made her look about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a petite stature. She was wearing a clean light blue dress and although she was not tall, she had a pair of grand peaks that threatened to rip the fabric restraining them. The elegant line of her slim waist, and her plump, perky bottom only further emphasized her ample figure.

Standing in front of Yang Kai, she looked up at him with the demeanour of a Senior.

He was sure he did not know this woman, and he did not notice her when he entered the city just now, so he had no idea what her intentions were in blocking his path.

“Do we know each other?” Yang Kai looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Yang Kai raised his brow and replied, “Wouldn’t it be shameful for me if I just answered anything you asked?”

Ying Fei grinned and snickered, “Young Master Yang is handsome and exceptionally talented, truly a dragon among men. I’m afraid someone has fallen in love with you at first sight… “

Before Ying Fei could finish speaking, a delicate pink fist suddenly impacted his cheek. If Ying Fei did not possess exceptional speed, allowing him to barely dodge in time, he would have taken this punch right to his face.

The power behind this blow was terrifying, even distorting space in its wake. On the other hand, this woman clearly had not used much of her strength just now as she looked perfectly relaxed.

Ying Fei’s face darkened as a little horror lingered in his heart.

It was quite hard to imagine that a young woman who looked so dainty had such monstrous strength.

Ying Fei was really horrified now as his pair of eagle-like eyes flashed with terrifying light, peering at this young woman as if trying to look into the depths of her Soul.

Such sharp vision was nothing short of extraordinary.
