Chapter 478 β Sheβs A Woman
Old Demon wasnβt clear about who this mysterious master was so he asked curiously.
Yang Kai told him the shot version of his two encounters with her.
After listening to this, Old Demon felt slightly shocked as he looked at Meng Wu Ya, βEven you didnβt catch a glimpse of this personβs face?β
Treasurer Meng slowly shook his head, βThereβs some kind of special aura around this person isolates them from otherβs investigation. Iβd guess that even if an Above Immortal Ascension Boundary wanted to, it wonβt be easy. As long as this person wants to hide himself, no one will be able to find him.β
βImpressive!β Old Demon said then quickly sneered, βBut from the fact that this guy was injured by Ying Jiu and Young Master, his personal strength doesnβt seem to be very high.β
Near the Pill Room, the mysterious master had suffered a hit from Ying Jiuβs Flickering Shadow Strike and was slightly injured, then at Po Jing Lake, she hadnβt been able to completely avoid Yang Kaiβs sword wave. If her strength was really high enough to avoid detection from the likes of Meng Wu Ya and Old Demon, these situations wouldnβt have occurred.
Yang Kai nodded in agreement, βBut even still, this person is definitely a formidable master.β
βWhat does Young Master want to do?β Old Demon looked up and grinned.
βIβll say this first, donβt expect this old master to intervene.β Meng Wu Ya looked at Yang Kai and said, βThis old master is only here to protect Changβer. As for this whole Inheritance War mess, this old master wonβt get involved.β
After saying that, he let out a somewhat tired sigh, βThis old master is getting on in years, if I were to intervene in you young peopleβs affairs Iβd have no face left at all.β
βI never wanted you to intervene,β Yang Kai chuckled, βI just wanted to ask you two if you had any good ideas about how to expose that person?β
Meng Wu Ya shook his head while Old Demon grimaced slightly. If even Meng Wu Ya had no way to draw this mysterious master out, Old Demon obviously wouldnβt either. Only if this person appeared in Yang Kaiβs mansion again would there be a chance, but after being almost caught last time, as long as they werenβt an idiot they wouldnβt try again anytime soon.
βYoung Master, do you have any information on that person at all? Even Old Servant canβt make porridge without rice.β Old Demon asked.
βInformationβ¦ there is one thing.β Yang Kai suddenly said.
βOh? What?β Meng Wu Ya and Old Demon looked over at it at the same time.
βSheβs a woman!β Yang Kaiβs eyes flashed.
βHow do you know?β Treasurer Meng frowned.
Yang Kai smiled as he pulled out a long blue silk like hair from his sleeve and held it up, βThis fell off her at Po Jing Lake.β
Pausing for a moment, he continued, βHowever, I donβt know why her hair looks like this. Both of you are experienced and knowledgeable, have you ever seen this colour of hair before?β
Meng Wu Ya and Old Demon looked at the blue strand of hair at the same time and couldnβt help showing some surprise.
This strand of hair was very different from an ordinary womanβs hair, for almost all people, whether they were man and woman, their hair would be black, but this strand was actually a unique color of pale blue.
Besides being unusually smooth and supple, this colour was quite unusual.
After a moment, Meng Wu Ya and Old Demon exchanged a glance and, each of them seeing a strange look in the otherβs face.
Seeing this kind of reaction, Yang Kai secretly began guessing what they were thinking about.
After a short silence, Meng Wu Ya said, βI donβt know who this woman is, and Iβve never heard of anyone with this particular colour of hair, but I would guess itβs related to her cultivation technique and physique. Yang Kai, donβt make things too difficult for this person. She may come from an extraordinary place.β
If Meng Wu Ya said so, although he didnβt provide any specifics, Yang Kai still nodded in a dignified manner.
He hadnβt intended on acting ruthless in the first place.
Suddenly Old Demon let out an evil laugh, βYoung Master, if this hair is really from that woman, Old Servant might have a way to find her!β
βOh?β Yang Kaiβs eyes lit up, βHow sure are you?β
βHeh hehβ¦ Soul tracking is one of this old servantβs specialities, just sit back and prepare for a good show! With this hair of hers to use as a medium, sheβll have nowhere to hide!β Old Demon said confidently.
βEvil Demon Techniques!β Meng Wu Ya snorted disdainfully.
Instead of being offended, Old Demon just grinned more cheerfully.
Yang Kai didnβt care what means he used as long as he could find the mysterious woman, asking, βHow long do you need?β
βOld Servant can finish the preparations in ten days, but everything after that will depend on luck, if that woman never comes close to this old servant again, thereβll be no way to track her!β
βThen prepare as soon as possible!β Yang Kai firmly declared.
No matter what kind of purpose this woman had for approaching the Pill Room, since she wasnβt successful the first time, she would definitely try again, and judging from her appearance at Po Jing Lake, this person absolutely wasnβt timid and didnβt hold anyone in her eyes. Someone who would steal something right out from under the noses of this worldβs heroes would surely have a great deal of self-confidence and arrogance. She wouldnβt retreat simply because of a little setback. After she found a way to completely conceal her aura, she would definitely come again.
All Yang Kai had to do was wait for her next visit before springing his trap!
Handing the light blue hair over to Old Demon, Yang Kai hurried away.
Quickly finding Qiu Yi Meng near the Artifact Refining workshop, Yang Kai secretly spoke a few words to her. No one knew what the two discussed, only that after Yang Kai whispered something to her, Qiu Yi Meng vehemently objected, even going so far as to grab Yang Kaiβs arm and refuse to let go.
The Qiu Familyβs First Young Lady rarely ever acted so boldly. From birth, she had received strict education on etiquette and behaviour from her tutors, but now she had actually latched onto Yang Kai in full view of the surrounding crowd, almost as if she was begging him not to abandon her. All around, everyone was silently speculating about what was happening.
In the end, Yang Kai managed to break free from Qiu Yi Mengβs grip and strode away, leaving the Qiu Familyβs First Young Lady standing there in a frustrated and angry state.
βYoung Lady Qiu, what did Junior Brother Yang just say?β Lan Chu Die had just finished having her artifact looked at and had come out for a breath of fresh air when she saw this scene and found it quite curious.
βNothing.β Qiu Yi Meng quickly regained her composure and slowly shook her head.
Lan Chu Die smiled and no longer asked, knowing that she wasnβt qualified to contact too many high-level secrets with her current identity.
On the other hand, the Hu Sisters looks out the window and also witnessed this scene.
βDid you see that? That smelly brat is too shameless! Actually flirting with that Qiu Family woman in public! Meiβer, you must be careful of him! Donβt get swept up in his pace!β Hu Jiao Er ground her teeth as she complained to her little sister.
Hu Mei Er on the other hand just held her slightly blushed cheeks and stared at where Yang Kai had just been, obviously not having heard a word her Elder sister had said.
Seeing this spellbound appearance, Hu Jiao Er couldnβt help but sigh, reaching out her small jade hand and pinching her little sisterβs dainty nose, wiggling it slightly, βCultivate!β
βAhβ¦ en.β Hu Mei Er nodded and reluctantly took back her gaze.
Although the Blood Battle Gang and Storm Hall joined Yang Kai later than the other forces in the house, Qiu Yi Meng didnβt supply them with any less pills. With the help of the Mysterious Grade Pills that seemed to flow freely from the Pill Room, the Hu Sistersβ rate of progress was better than ever and after only a few days of cultivation their Twin Qi Shared Spirit Divine Art was showing signs of a breakthrough.
Also, after repeatedly taking these pills, the Hu Sisters clearly felt that there were some subtle changes occurring in their bodies and it was now easier for them to absorb the surrounding World Energy than ever before. Their meridians were tougher and more flexible, allowing them to circulate their Secret Art even more quickly.
Having witnessed Yang Kaiβs aptitude and strength made both of them feel pressured, and they knew if they didnβt work hard, they would only be left behind by him, so naturally they didnβt slack at all in their cultivation.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Night time, War City eastern corner, Yang Weiβs mansion.
Yang Wei, who was refining the Mysterious Grade artifact he had obtained a few days ago, suddenly heard a knock at his door and his brow couldnβt help but wrinkle as he called out, βWhat?β
βEldest Young Lord, someoneβs come to visit.β Meng Shan Yiβs voice came from outside, a hint of awkwardness in his tone.
βWho?β Yang Weiβs eyes flashed. Meng Shan Yi knew he was in the process of refining a Mysterious Grade artifact yet he had still come to disturb him, obviously this guest was unusual.
But what person could cause Meng Shan Yiβs tone to become so strange?
βI think itβs probably Yang Kai!β
βNinth Brother?β Yang Weiβs voice suddenly increased in pitch slightly, his tone also becoming somewhat strained.
Soon, the door was opened and Yang Wei appeared in front of Meng Shan Yi with a sullen face, asking in a serious tone, βIs it really Ninth Brother?β
Meng Shan Yi grinned awkwardly as he scratched his head, βI canβt see his face but Senior Ying Jiu is beside him, itβs basically impossible for Ying Jiu to be following anyone else.β
Yang Weiβs eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded, βSince Ying Jiu is here, it must be Ninth Brother.β
Suddenly grinning, Yang Wei mutter, βSuch boldness, it seems I still canβt see through Ninth Brother.β
Although he had formed a temporary alliance with Yang Kai during the Po Jing Lake artifact snatching battle, in the end, the two were still opponents So; Yang Kai daring to visit his out with only Ying Jiu for protection showed his courage wasnβt ordinary.
βEldest Young Lord, this is a rare opportunity!β Meng Shan Yiβs voice trembled slightly as he spoke, βConsidering Yang Kaiβs performance since the start of the Inheritance War till now, he will definitely become a stronger opponent than even the Second Young Lord, so now that heβs appeared in our territory all aloneβ¦β
As he said so, he made a slicing motion across his neck.
However, Yang Wei just snickered and slowly shook his head.
βEldest Young Lord!β Meng Shan Yiβs tone rose once more, unable to understand why Yang Wei didnβt want to take advantage of this chance, βThis is too good an opportunity to pass up! If you donβt take him out now, Iβm afraid there wonβt be a second chance.β
In the beginning, no one was optimistic about Yang Kaiβs chances, but in one night he had turned all that around and now the number of people betting on his victory was only growing. This wasnβt without reason either; the pace of development at Yang Kaiβs mansion was nothing short of astounding.
The gap between him and his brothers was gradually expanding and as time passed this gap would only become bigger and bigger until he ultimately eliminated all of them and become the final winner.
Meng Shan Yi felt like he could all but see that day coming so, as an ally of Yang Wei, how could he not be worried?
But faced with such a tempting opportunity, the Eldest Young Lord suddenly seemed to have some brotherly scruples; it was nothing short of foolishness.
βI have my own thoughts on this matter, donβt say anymore!β Yang Wei waved his hand and strode away.
Meng Shan Yi was depressed as he smiled bitterly, but after thinking about it for a moment, his expression suddenly became firm before he quickly turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
