The people of the Cangqiong Empire grew afraid upon seeing Cang Jin. The Cangqiong Empire only had Cang Jin and those two Artifact Refiners, three people against thirty from the Mors Empire, and no one needed to think too hard to know the outco. Along the way, Cang Jin had already cautioned them against creating conflicts with people from other countries, but upon seeing those from the Mors Empire, they couldn’t suppress their anger.
"They want to challenge to single combat. What about you, do you want to join in too?" Dan Jingtian provocatively looked at Cang Jin, "If you want to fight, my brother will keep you company."
Hearing Dan Jingtian’s words, Cang Jin’s face grew even darker. He looked at the people of the Cangqiong Empire and shouted, "If you don’t want to eat, then all of you roll back to your rooms to cultivate!"
Seeing Cang Jin lose his temper, the two dejectedly returned to their room.
With those two gone, Sun Kui and the others said nothing more. Everyone sat down to prepare for their al.
Dugu Qianye glanced over at Cang Jin, who was moving off to the side on his own, and said, "Cang Jin, co join us."
The words of Dugu Qianye instantly quieted the great hall, and the people of the Mors Empire looked at her in surprise. Cang Jin was also a bit surprised, a glint of light flashing through his usually grim eyes.
To everyone’s surprise, Dugu Qianye just shrugged her shoulders and paid them no mind. She couldn’t possibly say that she felt sorry for him eating alone because she had tricked him out of his money last ti, could she?!
"Fine."
Looking into Dugu Qianye’s clear eyes, the words of refusal that had reached Cang Jin’s lips turned into a word of agreent. He sat down next to Dugu Qianye. Throughout the al, he hardly said a few words, just ate his own food.
The others felt a bit uneasy with Cang Jin’s arrival, especially since they had just quarreled with the people of the Cangqiong Empire, but seeing him act as if nothing had happened, they gradually relaxed.
After eating, Dugu Qianye said goodbye and went back to her own room. She closed the door, poured herself a glass of water, twirled it in her hand, and suddenly threw it into a corner.
"Pfft, indeed a sensitive little cat!" Instead of the sound of glass hitting the wall, a pleasant voice ca through. "That’s not a polite way to treat a guest, you know!"
Dugu Qianye poured herself another glass of water, sat down, and looked at the erging figure, saying softly, "No guest would hide in a corner."
"Oh dear, I just wanted to see if you could find ! No harm intended." The person erged from the shadows and sat down opposite Dugu Qianye.
Dressed in bright red luxurious clothes, he had a tall and symtrical figure, with a silver mask on his face, and he held an Iron Bone Fan, which he opened with a "pfft" and looked at Dugu Qianye with self-proclaid charm.
"Showoff," Dugu Qianye bluntly criticized, "and a showoff in a mask, no less."
The smile on Qie Yue’s face stiffened for a mont, then beca even more enchanting: "Is little sister Qianye blaming Qie Yue for not letting you see my face?"
Dugu Qianye felt a cold wind blowing...
"My face is not for just anyone to see, if little sister Qianye wants to see it, hehe, after you do, Qie Yue will be yours!"
Dugu Qianye’s goosebumps had already fallen all over the floor...
Suddenly, Dugu Qianye leapt onto the table, lunged forward with her body, and her right hand transford into a chopping blade aid at Qie Yue. Qie Yue quickly dodged to the right, evading the chop. Dugu Qianye imdiately turned her chopping hand into a hook, reaching for Qie Yue’s neck. Qie Yue blocked with his left hand and slapped toward Dugu Qianye’s shoulder. Dugu Qianye retracted her hands, supported herself on the table, arched her body backwards to avoid his palm, and kicked both legs towards his chest. Left kick, right kick, spinning, the moves were so fast that Qie Yue couldn’t keep up and, after being kicked several tis, he had to move away from the stool and retreat a ter away.
"What are you doing?!" Qie Yue looked at the footprints on his chest, sowhat angrily.
"Greet our guest!"
Dugu Qianye sat cross-legged on the table, picked up the water she had just poured, took a sip and said, "Speak, who sent you?"
"How do you know soone sent ? Sister Qianye is really smart!"
"Haven’t you learned your lesson yet? Do you want to draw a few more flowers on your chest?"
"Uh, no need." Qie Yue waved her hand and said, "Sister Qianye really isn’t cute!"
Dugu Qianye’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Qie Yue coldly.
"Alright. I’ll stop teasing, or the kitten might show its claws. You really don’t know who I am?" Qie Yue wondered, when had her na beco so unknown?
"Qie Yue? Are you famous?" Dugu Qianye countered.
"Uh, not famous." Qie Yue said with so depression, "Just the third in command of the Secret Pavilion, that’s all."
The third in command of the Secret Pavilion? The dark assassin whose na made people pale? A subordinate of that fiend Zi Xiao? Co to think of it, she hadn’t thought of him for quite so ti.
"What do you want?"
The indifferent question hit Qie Yue hard. Was she really that charmless?
"Our boss said, before you go to Holy Sea City, don’t forget to look at the birthday gift he sent you last ti. No, you must look at it."
Ah, that box! On her birthday, it was disrupted by the Feng Family, and she had no mood to see what was inside, so she casually tossed it into her Space Ring. Consequently, she never rembered it. But how did he know she hadn’t looked?
Seeing Dugu Qianye looking at her with puzzlent, Qie Yue said helplessly, "Our boss said, you definitely wouldn’t look at anything he gave you! He specifically asked to remind you. Alright, I’ve delivered the ssage, I’m leaving."
Approaching the window, Qie Yue suddenly turned around and said, "Girl, we’ll et again soon." Then she jumped out the window, disappearing into the night.
Dugu Qianye gazed in the direction of Qie Yue’s departure and pondered for a while. She hadn’t expected Zi Xiao to guess she hadn’t looked at that box, nor did she expect him to send soone to remind her. Was the content of the box so important?
She took out the box from her Space Ring, turned it over, looking for anything special, but found none. Opening the lid, she found only two pieces of paper inside. She placed the box on the table, took out the papers, and spread them out.
"This, this is a map of the Phantom Sea Domain?!" Dugu Qianye exclaid in surprise. She picked up the other paper and was even more astonished.
"A layout and terrain map of the Divine Temple? How does he have these? And how does he know I would need this?"
The Secret Pavilion and the Divine Temple had always been archenemies. If the Divine Temple represented the light, then the Secret Pavilion was Hell’s servant. Given this, how could he, as the Pavilion Master, have this? And how could he foresee she would need it one day? What kind of person was he? Regardless, these two items were of great help to their upcoming plans. With a thought, she went to consult with the Refining Demon Pot, Mo Chi, and the others about their next moves.
Elsewhere, Qie Yue, like a night elf, road around Pearl City before returning to a luxurious mansion. Instead of going to his room, he arrived at a courtyard and pushed open the door of a room that was lit from within.
