Chapter 20: Meet Again (2)

Pearl, if they are willing to lend the divine artifact, the Illusion Pearl inside Liu shuang’s body may be extracted.”

Madam Zi listened and felt extremely embarrassed: “Once the divine artifact is activated, it will inevitably consume countless celestial power. Shuang’er has just offended the young master of Kunlun. Would Kunlun be willing to use the Shennong Cauldron for her?”

Chishui Chong glared at Liu shuang: “Ask her how she plans to handle this herself!”

Knowing she was in the wrong, Liu shuang negotiated: “How about we don’t remove it?” Her current goal was to become the top expert of the Eight Wildernesses, not the most beautiful person. At worst, she could wear a veil when going out in the future.

Tears welled up in Madam Zi’s eyes, filled with grief. Seeing this, Liu shuang quickly wiped her tears: “Don’t cry, don’t cry, Mother. I’ll go borrow it, I’ll apologize, I’ll admit my mistake to Kunlun’s young master and beg for his forgiveness, okay?”

Chishui Chong said: “You’re not going to anger them again, are you?”

“Liu shuang wouldn’t dare.”

Chishui Chong said: “You made the mistake, so you find a way to fix it. The Jimo clan is magnanimous. If you personally go to apologize, perhaps you can resolve the misunderstanding. If you can’t borrow the Shennong Cauldron, you’ll have to live with this face for the rest of your life as a lesson!”

Liu shuang nodded.

Seeing her obedient and seemingly sincere about apologizing, Chishui Chong sighed: “Zhuixu, you take Yuxiao to accompany her. Don’t let her cause trouble. Whatever Kunlun demands, Kongsang can negotiate. We must extract the Illusion Pearl from the young master’s body.”

Bai Zhuixu quickly responded: “Zhuixu will certainly protect the young master well.”

Chishui Chong wasn’t very reassured. Of the two Bai clan young masters, although both had decent cultivation, the elder was too obedient to Liu shuang, while the younger was too rebellious and enjoyed watching chaos unfold. Now that the spirit veins were damaged, the other immortal lords couldn’t leave. Liu shuang had already offended Kunlun, and if she went there now, if no one could control her and something went wrong, they’d never be able to extract the Illusion Pearl.

Chishui Chong had a thought and extended his divine sense, sensing someone still in the Nine Thoughts Pool: “That disciple who stopped the young master at Kongsang’s entrance last time, what’s his background?”

Bai Zhuixu was stunned for a moment: “In response to the Realm Master, he is an outer disciple who usually guards the entrance to the celestial mirror. His name is Yan Chaosheng.”

Chishui Chong withdrew his gaze from the Nine Thoughts Pool and said: “Have him go along with the Ten Commandments Ring.”

Liu shuang never expected the Realm Master to make such a decision: “Father… can we choose someone else?”

Chishui Chong said: “He will go. Don’t worry, even with the Ten Commandments Ring, he wouldn’t dare harm you recklessly.”

Liu shuang was about to say something else, but Madam Zi held her back: “Shuangshuang, listen to mother. Let’s remove the Illusion Pearl first, alright?”

Liu shuang could only mumble: “Mm.”

She thought to herself, it might be good after all. She could take the opportunity on the way to eliminate a potential threat to Kongsang.

Yan Chaosheng returned to his usual dwelling place. The sky in Kongsang had already darkened.

He lived in a bamboo forest with many houses, all residences for low-ranking outer disciples. The status gap between Chishui Liu shuang and him was like heaven and earth. If she didn’t fall for his trap, he had no way to deal with her.

He returned with a gloomy expression, but someone saw him and said with a smile: “Junior Brother Yan, you’re finally back. An envoy from Kongsang Immortal Realm came today. You should go check it out quickly. The Realm Master has orders.”

Yan Chaosheng thought of his situation and felt irritated. The Realm Master has orders? Does the Realm Master want to seek revenge for his precious daughter too? This lowly life of his seems to be on everyone’s mind.

He sneered: “What did the Realm Master say?”

The senior brother shook his head: “The envoy is waiting for you. Junior Brother Yan, go see for yourself.”

Yan Chaosheng walked to his bamboo house and indeed saw an immortal lord waiting for him. Yan Chaosheng concealed the gloom on his face and smiled as he bowed.

The immortal lord glanced at Yan Chaosheng indifferently and said: “The Realm Master bestows the Ten Commandments Ring and orders you to accompany the young master to Kunlun Immortal Realm tomorrow to prevent her from causing trouble.”

“Ten Commandments Ring?”

Seeing his respectful demeanor, the immortal lord explained: “It’s an artifact that can restrain immortals across realms. You’ll understand once you receive it. The Realm Master says the young master is young and ignorant, causing trouble. When you return, there will surely be a great reward.”

Yan Chaosheng laughed coldly in his heart, not letting the immortal lord see his expression. He enunciated each word with a smile: “Rest assured, my lord. This disciple will certainly take good care of the young master.”

The words “take care” lingered on his lips, emphasized more heavily than any other word.
