Chapter 278 - 278 The Bi Luo Mansion Elders’ Doubts
These two terms were both familiar and unfamiliar. After nearly four months, they appeared in Liu Yuan’s ears again.
When he went to Xie Qian’s mansion to borrow the experience scroll, he happened to meet the grandfather and grandson of the Yuan family who also came to ask for Xie Qian’s calligraphy and painting. He exchanged it for a Golden Crow True Yang and also did him a favor at the same time… However, this bird egg was still eating dust in Liu Yuan’s sleeve array and could not even be used as backup food.
He had already gathered more than half of the four ingredients that Xie Qian told him about (Zhizhi, the spirit of the mountains and seas, was only half). He was still short of the Greenwood Demon Blood, and if he found the Land of Extreme Cold, he would be able to hatch the Golden Crow.
Liu Yuan muttered in his heart with a strange expression. At that time, he didn’t realize that from the moment he transmigrated, the game plot had already undergone an irreversible change, and he avoided people or things that could cause a butterfly effect.
Therefore, he did not provoke Yuan Kaixuan and Yuan Hongli, who did not appear in the original plot, but were obviously not simple. He did not even ask about their background. Fate was just so wonderful. After so many twists and turns, it was not Liu Yuan who went to find them, but Yuan Hongli who came to him by herself.
Liu Yuan was caught up in his own memories but the name that he blurted out stunned Su Lanfeng. Su Lanfeng then said in an even more respectful tone, “Guardian, you have divine foresight. Her name is Yuan Hongli.”
Fusang Sea had cut off contact with the Central Plains many years ago. With the barrier of the Divine Tree, it was extremely difficult for the Central Plains to obtain news from there. There had been no progress all this time. She had placed this heavy news at the back and wanted to use this as an opportunity to raise her credit. However, she did not expect that this Guardian Zhu would actually expose the name of the little princess of Fusang sea.
Naturally, Su Lanfeng would not have thought that this Guardian Zhu had already met Yuan Hongli four months ago. She only thought that he had more than one intelligence system in his hands. She thought to herself, ‘As expected of the only Guardian appointed by the Mansion Master. His methods are truly extraordinary and he’s so cautious in his actions. No wonder the Mansion Master has given him full authority over such an important matter.’
Liu Yuan naturally would not explain how he knew Yuan Hongli’s name. He asked, “What’s their cultivation level?”
Su Lanfeng said cautiously, “On the surface, the one with the highest cultivation base is Yuan Hongli, who is at the peak Void Refinement stage. However, there’s one person who seems to have a special concealment technique. The spies we sent out were unable to see through his cultivation base. However, according to Yuan Hongli’s attitude towards this person, his cultivation base is definitely above Yuan Hongli.”
“At least he’s at the Form Synthesis stage. Can’t he tell…” Liu Yuan pondered for a moment, then took a pen and paper from the table next to him and wrote down a sentence, “If that’s the case, we can’t force her. Send this note to Yuan Hongling and tell her to come to Wuyin Cliff if she wants the whereabouts of the real phoenix.”
He stretched out his hand and placed the piece of paper in Su Lanfeng’s hands before casually saying, “The Mansion Master is getting tired of staying at the Wuyin Cliff. She has been in a bad mood recently. How did it go when I asked you to gather the people in the mansion who are working with the Jade Mirage Sect?”
Su Lanfeng kept the folded paper and said, “Once the Mansion Master’s token is out, who would dare to disobey? It’s just that a few elders seem to have some doubts.”
“What doubts?”
“They said that they had received an order that the mansion had always been based on the principle of ‘outside of Bi Luo, killing is the greatest Dao’. Only with such courage could they deter the evil forces. Now that there’s a change of mind and decision, many of the original arrangements have been scrapped, and the prestige of the Mansion Master has been damaged…”
As Su Lanfeng said this, her voice started to sound a little hesitant.
Liu Yuan knew that with Netherworld’s prestige in Bi Luo Mansion, these elders would not doubt her decision. They were probably suspicious of the identity of the person who gave the order. He said, “Of course it’s not a sudden change of mind. When the time comes, the Mansion Master will personally explain to them and call them over. If they don’t obey, they will be punished for betraying the mansion. There’s no need to worry.”
“Yes.” Su Lanfeng lowered her head.
“Did you see Han Tianyi just now?” Liu Yuan asked.
Xue Yan wanted to show that he didn’t let down the trust of his Senior, so he refused Liu Yuan’s help. However, since Liu Yuan was here, he naturally had to help Xue Yan.
With Xue Yan’s current ability and shrewdness, it would not be a problem for him to deal with Han Tianyi. However, Xue Yan was an outsider at Wuyin Cliff. Under normal circumstances, he would need to spend a lot of time and energy. With Su Lanfeng’s help, the situation would be very different.
In this way, it was not a direct help, and Xue Yan still had room to exert his ability.
Su Lanfeng nodded. “I saw that he seemed to have been knocked to the ground…”
When she said this, she subconsciously looked up. Liu Yuan sneered without any reservation, “I did it.”
Su Lanfeng lowered her head again and said, “Han Tianyi was disrespectful to the Guardian. He deserved to die.”
Liu Yuan said slowly and earnestly, “He wasn’t being disrespectful to me. He was being disrespectful to the Holy Messenger. Do you understand? In my opinion, he’s just a good-for-nothing with a little background, a fool who doesn’t know his own place and is only worthy of tyrannical abuse in this small area. But you’re different. You were sent to the demonic sect as a spy a long time ago, and you didn’t have any disloyalty until you reached the high position of an elder. You didn’t have any complaints when you were pushed away from the position of an elder to come to Wuyin Cliff, which shows your loyalty. The Mansion Master has seen your hard work and efforts over the years.”
It would be weird if the Netherworld actually took this seriously. This woman was a hopeless dictator and probably did not even remember Su Lanfeng’s name. However, it did not matter. Anyway, Liu Yuan was her spokesperson now and his words cut into Su Lanfeng’s heart. Su Lanfeng would be willing to believe that these were the words of Netherworld.
Su Lanfeng’s heart skipped a beat. As someone who was able to become an elder in the demonic sect, she immediately understood Guardian Zhu’s meaning. She suppressed her excitement and said, “This is my job… If Mansion Master has any orders, this subordinate will definitely go through water and tread on fire without hesitation.”
Liu Yuan shook his head and said, “You’ve worked hard and achieved a lot. Why would the Mansion Master let you do these things? Now you’re more useful than you think. The Wuyin Cliff is just a springboard. Before leaving this springboard, you’ve already done your best to clean up the sect for the demonic sect.”
Su Lanfeng was startled. Combined with what he said before, she suddenly felt that her future shouldn’t be restricted to such a small place like Wuyin Cliff. Everything seemed to open up in front of her, and she instantly smiled. She stood up and bowed, “Your subordinate understands!”
With that, she bade farewell to Liu Yuan and left in a hurry, as if she had finally unraveled the knot in her heart. The back of the beautiful woman twisted her waist even more charmingly, like a snake.
As Liu Yuan watched, he suddenly missed Duan Lanruo.
There was a taste of youth, and there was a charm of maturity…
A cold-looking Daoist nun dressed in black walked out of the room. She sighed and interrupted his thoughts. “You really treasure your daughter. Han Tianyi wanted to see her, but you wouldn’t even let him in. Now, you’re even trying to get rid of him. What if she gets married in the future? ”
Liu Yuan was speechless.
“I won’t get married.” The expressionless girl in white appeared silently and hid behind Liu Yuan. She said in a low voice, “The snow is falling over the mountains. Who is the shadow going to look at?”
