Eternal Sacred King

2450 Personal Badge

“This is bad, this is bad!”

Liu Ping’s face was ashen as he sent a voice transmission to Tao Yao’s spirit consciousness, “Our luck is way too bad. To think that we would bump into senior brother’s sworn enemy!”

Initially, Liu Ping intended to obey Su Zimo and mention his name when he saw that the situation was bad.

But now that he bumped into Prince Yun Ting, there was no way Liu Ping would dare to mention Su Zimo’s name.

If Prince Yun Ting knew that they were sent by Su Zimo, he would probably cripple the two of them with a single slash!

Just as Liu Ping was about to remind Tao Yao, the latter spoke, “Fellow Daoist, our young master said that he wants us to hand the item over to Princess Yun Zhu personally.”

Liu Ping’s heart skipped a beat.

He knew how terrifying Yun Ting was, but… Tao Yao did not know Yun Ting’s background!

Yun Ting could be considered as the number one Sword Dao expert of the younger generation in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and even the Heavenly World!

The Sword Dao was extremely lethal!

Those who were accomplished in the Sword Dao were decisive to kill—who would dare to provoke or disobey them?

Yun Ting raised his brow slightly and a sharp glint gradually gathered in his eyes. He glared at Tao Yao and said slowly, “Do you think that my sister is someone you can casually meet?”

However, Tao Yao had a serious expression and looked at Yun Ting without backing down.

Yun Ting let out an impatient expression and said coldly, “I’ll say it again. Hand it over or I’ll send you guys on your way!”

“My young master’s name is Su Zimo.”

Tao Yao seemed to have thought of something and continued.

“It’s over!”

Liu Ping had a long face and a sorrowful expression, waiting for a calamity to descend.

“Su Zimo?”

Unexpectedly, Yun Ting frowned when he heard those words—the sharpness in his eyes gradually dissipated and the pressure that enveloped the two of them vanished as well.

Indeed, Yun Ting regarded Su Zimo as his greatest enemy in life. However, he wanted to fight Su Zimo openly to determine the victor.

Back then, when Yun Ting went to the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom and challenged Su Zimo personally, outsiders thought that the two of them were at odds and were irreconcilable.

However, in reality, there was no deep feud between the two of them.

In the depths of Yun Ting’s heart, he had extreme respect towards Su Zimo as an opponent instead.

“What does he want to give my sister?”

Although Yun Ting was puzzled, he no longer made things difficult for Tao Yao and Liu Ping. “The two of you, follow me.”

“We’re actually fine?”

Liu Ping broke out in cold sweat but realized that it was only a false alarm.

Tao Yao still had a calm expression and did not know that he had just experienced danger. He merely thought that he had to complete what Su Zimo entrusted him to do.

Yun Ting brought Tao Yao and Liu Ping along smoothly and no one dared to stop them. Before long, they arrived at the palace’s library and arrived at a room within.

“Sister?”

Yun Ting stood at the door and knocked, calling out softly.

“Come in.”

A warm voice sounded from within.

Yun Ting pushed the door open and entered with Tao Yao and Liu Ping.

In the room, a plain-robed woman sat on a bamboo chair with an ancient book in her hands. She browsed through it carefully without raising her head.

Liu Ping looked at the woman curiously.

This was the Book Immortal?

The plain-robed woman lowered her head and her features could not be seen clearly. However, she exuded a unique aura and the fragrance of books was intoxicating.

“What is it?”

Yun Zhu did not raise her head. As though Yun Ting’s appearance was not as important as the ancient book in her hands, she merely asked casually.

Yun Ting said, “Two Dao children from Heaven and Earth Academy came to look for you. They said that Su Zimo had something and wanted them to hand it to you personally.”

“Mmm?”

Yun Zhu raised her head and looked towards Tao Yao and Liu Ping.

Instantly, Liu Ping was stunned but he composed himself quickly.

Yun Zhu’s gaze swept past Liu Ping and landed on Tao Yao’s face. She paused for a moment in deep thought.

“What’s that? Hand it over.”

Yun Zhu smiled gently.

Liu Ping hurried forward and handed Yun Zhu the storage bag.

Yun Ting was surprised and asked, “Sister, you’re acquainted with Su Zimo?”

“Of course.”

Yun Zhu said as she received the storage bag.

Yun Ting was puzzled. “Sister, you usually live in seclusion. How did he get the chance to know you?”

Yun Zhu smiled without saying anything. Her spirit consciousness moved and erased the seal on her storage bag, opening it to take a look.

She was not moved by the 100 million Essence Spirit Stones.

With a calm expression, she took out the letter and browsed through it.

When Yun Ting saw that his sister did not reply and instead took out a letter to read, he was even more curious. He could not help but lean over and poke his head out to ask, “Sister, what’s written here?”

“Move away!”

Yun Zhu waved her robes gently and pushed Yun Ting far away.

“Hmph! It must be something shameful if I’m not allowed to see it!” Yun Ting harrumphed to express his displeasure, but he did not dare to advance further.

After reading the letter, Yun Zhu put it away and took out a blank letter. She picked up the brush beside her and wrote seriously.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier beside Yun Zhu.

Even when Yun Ting released his spirit consciousness, he could not scan it and naturally could not see what Yun Zhu wrote on the letter.

As Yun Zhu wrote, she paused occasionally to think.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at Tao Yao, asking in a seemingly casual manner, “What’s your name? You don’t seem to be from the academy, right?”

Tao Yao said, “My name is Tao Yao. I’ve just started serving my young master and have yet to join Heaven and Earth Academy.”

A smile appeared in Yun Zhu’s eyes but disappeared quickly. She asked again, “How has your young master been recently?”

“Pretty good.”

Tao Yao replied honestly.

Yun Ting raised his brow and asked, “What realm has he cultivated to?”

Tao Yao said, “Grade 5 Heaven Immortal.”

“Oh?”

Yun Ting was slightly surprised and nodded. “Not bad, not too slow.”

By now, Yun Zhu had already written the letter. She placed it in the storage bag with 100 million Essence Spirit Stones and sealed it.

Yun Zhu beckoned to Tao Yao. “Take this storage bag back and hand it over to your young master personally.”

“Alright.”

Tao Yao replied obediently.

Yun Zhu removed a green badge from her waist and handed it to Tao Yao, saying gently, “Keep this badge. If your young master entrusts you with anything in the future, just come and meet me using this badge.”

“Thank you, princess.”

Tao Yao did not decline and expressed his thanks.

Liu Ping’s eyes widened and his jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

What was the meaning of this?

Is there something going on between Senior Brother Su and… the Book Immortal?!

Yun Ting could not help but shout as well, “Sister, how can you give away your personal badge so casually?!”

Yun Zhu ignored him and merely looked at Tao Yao warmly.

Tao Yao was about to put the green badge into his storage bag when Yun Zhu smiled and shook her head. She pointed to Tao Yao’s empty waist and said, “Hang it outside. This badge doesn’t look bad, right?”

“Yes, it’s quite good-looking.”

Tao Yao nodded vigorously and tied the badge to his waist.

“You guys can head back.”

Yun Zhu said, “Everything I want to say is in that letter.”

Tao Yao and Liu Ping bid farewell.

Yun Ting’s mind was filled with questions. Just as he was about to step forward and ask, he saw Yun Zhu wave her palm and chase him out of the room.

With a bang, the door was shut.

“Is she even my biological sister?! How can she turn against me?!”

Yun Ting cursed internally before leaving in a huff.
