Chapter 502 Shen Huaichuan on Night Watch
She speaks so sincerely; anyone who didn't know better would think that she got some incredible advantage by cultivating with him.
Yun Yici was too lazy to play games with him and went straight to the point: "Enough with the nonsense, what exactly did you do to the light core?"
Ying Xuewu countered, "Then what treasure did Sect Leader Yun obtain from the Demon Realm by following the light core?"
Yun Yici raised an eyebrow: "You really want to know?"
"That's a real treasure."
Jiu Meng had not returned to her original form for a long time, which allowed Ying Xuewu to take advantage of the situation.
Yun Yici believed that Jiu Meng was capable of more than that. Since she could send her away at any time and Ying Xuewu had not noticed Jiu Meng's existence, it meant that Jiu Meng's control was higher than his.
Ying Xuewu sensed something was wrong, and he smiled slightly: "If that's the case, then I won't watch it."
"Although Sect Leader Yun is not good at romance, I have a message for you."
"Since the birth of the light core, not a single patriarch of any sect has successfully ascended, and those few who have only half-stepped into ascension are even more worried."
"I have a feeling that the treasure was left behind by the upper realm and contains many secrets."
"Perhaps those ancestors would be very interested in this."
Yun Yici scoffed, "Oh? You mean if I don't let you know, you're going to spread the word about the light core?"
"Sect Leader Yun is joking. I didn't mean to threaten you." Ying Xuewu smiled. "I'm also very dissatisfied with those old fogies."
Yun Yici never expected that Ying Xuewu would curse those big shots and powerful figures.
"Over the years, the demons have been advancing recklessly, causing countless deaths and injuries to our sect's disciples."
"Those old fogies know that there is no hope of ascension, but they are afraid of death and would rather stay in a safe place to survive than come out of the mountains to fight against the demons."
"Sect Leader Yun may not know, but there is a blessed land in the Earth Spirit Domain, which is full of opportunities. Even I have never been there because it is controlled by those reclusive powerful figures."
"You have done a favor for the Earth Spirit Realm. I will bring this up tomorrow, and Sect Leader Yun can take advantage of the situation and gain an opportunity for free."
Under the beautiful night sky, Yun Yici was trapped in a dream, listening to Ying Xue's incessant nagging, her face full of annoyance.
"No, I'm not interested."
"I'm leaving."
"You'd better take your claws off the light core. Next time you lure me into a dream, be prepared to die in the dream."
After Yun Yici finished speaking, she said to Jiu Meng, "Let's go."
Jiu Meng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly activated the power she could draw upon within the light core to awaken Yun Yici's consciousness.
In her hazy state, Yun Yici saw Ying Xue's unsurprised expression, as if she hadn't expected that she could actually leave the dream on her own.
Jiu Meng's ashamed voice came from beside her: "Sect Leader Yun, I'm sorry. I will work harder to fuse with the light core these next few days, and this will not happen again."
Yun Yici opened her eyes, only to find a figure suddenly appearing in front of her.
She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the man's face clearly: "Shen Huaichuan, what are you doing here?"
Shen Huaichuan, holding a sword in his arms, sat on the edge of the bed, very close to her, staring at her intently.
Shen Huaichuan said, "I heard Huaichuan's buzzing sound in the room."
"This was a special signal it used to give me."
"I suspected something had happened to you, so I sneaked into your room."
"Then Huaichuan Sword Spirit told me what had happened."
"I originally planned to stay with you all night, and if you still haven't woken up by tomorrow morning, I'll think of another way."
Yun Yici sighed softly, "Thank you so much for your concern so late at night."
Shen Huaichuan: "But what exactly happened? Did Jiu Meng betray us?"
The sword spirit of Huaichuan sensed that Yun Yici's sudden fall asleep was exactly the same as when he encountered Jiu Meng, and could not hear the two talking.
Therefore, it was speculated that Jiu Meng was the one who did it to Shen Huaichuan.
Yun Yici shook his head and explained, "It's not Jiu Meng, it's Ying Xuewu."
"Senior Brother Xie had already told us that Ying Xuewu is the owner behind the auction house."
"It seems the auction house tampered with the light core a long time ago."
Shen Huaichuan: "Did he lure you into a dream to try and harm you?"
Yun Yici was speechless. What should she say?
She couldn't very well say that the other person had pulled her into her dream to invite her to engage in dual cultivation, could she?
She coughed lightly: "He thought we found a great treasure in the Demon Realm, so he pulled me into a dream to trick me into revealing information."
Yun Yici skipped over the topic of dual cultivation and recounted the rest of their conversation to Shen Huaichuan.
Shen Huaichuan pondered for a moment: "I think it would be best if the reclusive cultivators of each sect could give us a heads-up beforehand, but it wouldn't matter if we couldn't meet."
"Our most urgent task right now is to gather all four light cores."
"As for Ying Xuewu, next time we enter a dream, let Jiu Meng lure me into the dream as well, so that he will never return."
Jiu Meng whispered, "That's a good idea."
She can't do anything about Ying Xue's uncontrollable dreams, but she can introduce other people's dreams.
If multiple people have the same dream at the same time, it may be that their dreams are similar to each other.
Yun Yici spent most of the night in her dream, chatting with Shen Huaichuan for a long time.
Seeing that it was getting light outside, Yun Yici felt a little embarrassed: "I've kept you here all night for nothing. You should go back and rest."
"I am okay."
Shen Huaichuan replied, "It's alright, it won't make a difference if it takes a few more minutes. I'll go back when it's light."
Yun Yici suddenly felt somewhat uneasy.
As for chatting, it seems there's not much to talk about.
But I never had this feeling when I dreamed of practicing swordsmanship all night.
Yun Yici thought it over and over, deciding that the meeting with this person was just to talk about serious matters, and in the end, she didn't have anything else to say.
She sighed: "Shen Huaichuan."
"Ah."
"What are you going to do next?"
"Together with the sect leader, we will repair the Immortal Ladder and complete this great undertaking."
"Hmm... what about further into the future?"
"About how far is that?"
"For example, what would you do if we all ascended to heaven?"
Yun Yici secretly peered through the curtains at the immovable figure.
The man had his head down, and by the light she could only see his jade-like profile and high nose bridge; his expression was unclear.
"Sect Leader, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Shen Xiu only seeks pleasure tonight and does not care about the future."
