Chapter 999 - 465: Qing Jun, 3rd Layer! (Part 2)

Upon hearing the elder’s question, Gu Tangyin turned her head, her slender fingers gently caressing the sword hilt, her voice cold and piercing:

"The blood debt of the Zhong Family Brothers, and his arrogance before me, must be cleansed with his life."

"But forcing into the valley to kill... you underestimate Chen Ye’s cunning. Even a crafty rabbit has three dens, let alone a treacherous scoundrel like him? What if the one in the valley is not his real self but merely a facade, wouldn’t it alert the Lingyin Sect prematurely?"

"If anyone cannot control their temper and messes up the plan, my Huayue Mansion’s sword doesn’t mind beheading a few disobedient fools first."

The faces of the two Ten Thousand Puppet Sect cultivators stiffened, a hint of anger flashed in their eyes, but hindered by Gu Tangyin’s hidden dragon reputation, they eventually refrained from speaking further, retreating in silence.

The female cultivator with the surname Liu frowned as well.

Gu Tangyin overestimated Chen Ye.

Furthermore,

What if he is in seclusion, retreating for a year or a half, surely they couldn’t just wait indefinitely?

As if knowing her thoughts,

Gu Tangyin’s lips curved slightly, then she spoke again:

"Esteemed elders, although Chen Ye hides his head and tail, his disciples... especially that silver-haired little girl, romping and rolling in Lisong Valley all day, are na?ve and innocent, easy to deceive. We need only find a way to sneak into the valley, lure the girl out of it, and surely Chen Ye will be drawn out!"

Upon hearing this proposal, the people in the room showed various expressions.

"Kekekeke... Miss Gu’s way of doing things is as ruthless as my Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, the old man likes it."

The short Ten Thousand Puppet Sect cultivator clapped his hands and laughed wickedly, his eyes gleaming with cruelty,

"Since she’s just a yellow-haired girl with an undeveloped mind, dealing with her will be much easier. The old man can simply use sweet spirit fruit tainted with hallucinogens to lure her out, guarantee she’ll walk out obediently by herself! Hah... if I remember correctly, True Inheritor Yang died at the hands of these yellow-haired girls, originally planned to catch them all in one go, but taking one little girl for revenge first, it’s fine."

The withered cultivator shook his head; in truth, they were here under the guise of revenge, but the main target was still the Lingyin Sect. Chen Ye, as an important figure in the Lingyin Sect, if killed, would severely damage Lingyin.

What if Chen Ye, seeing his disciple captured, escaped directly back to the Lingyin Sect, wouldn’t it all be over?

Gu Tangyin ignored the demon cultivator’s teasing and coldly sheathed her sword without commenting.

She sighed inwardly:

"Originally, didn’t want to use such despicable means... But the scoundrel is too cowardly, and besides, killing my Huayue cultivator, Xu Qingjun shares the blame, deserves his death."

And behind Gu Tangyin.

Always acting meek and obedient, Hua Jingxin’s heart was full of grumbling.

Concerning the Peak Master Chen, whom everyone viewed as a thorn in their side, Hua Jingxin didn’t hold any deep-seated hatred, after all, she had never even seen the Peak Master.

"What a coincidence. How come this guy also has three disciples? Earlier secretly inquired about that old man, that old man also has three disciples."

Hua Jingxin didn’t think much.

In her heart, the reputable Chen Ye, and that despicable, disgusting old man, were completely unrelated.

...

Half a two-hour later. Lisong Valley, Cangli Courtyard.

"Master is back!"

Just sitting in the courtyard, daydreaming with her chin propped up, Qing Jun could smell the pleasant scent of her master’s presence from afar.

She cheered loudly,

No need for more words,

Once again transformed into a little ornament on her master’s leg, looking up with a sweet smile.

"Hmph! Are you thinking again about what good things master bought home? Smiling so happily?"

Chen Ye pinched Qing Jun’s plump cheeks.

"Not at all!"

Qing Jun allowed her master to squeeze her soft cheeks, rubbing her little face hard against Chen Ye’s wide, warm palm,

"As long as I see master come home, Qing Jun is very happy... Of course, if master brought gifts for Qing Jun, then I’d be even happier!"

Well.

Isn’t she still thinking about goodies?

Chen Ye helplessly handed over a rock candy spirit fruit, while casually rubbing the furry head of the little dragon cub.

Not only Qing Jun, but he also reserved portions for Zhiwei, Jin’er, and Little Shuyao.

Hmph!

He, Chen Ye, is the first Water Master in the Cultivation Realm, never neglecting any side, ensuring no little one is disappointed!

"Thank you, master!" Qing Jun impatiently took a big bite, turning her little face into a bun face, mumbling unclearly.

Seeing Qing Jun’s contented expression, Chen Ye felt a bit uneasy, inwardly thinking:

"Using drugged sweets to lure Qing Jun? These Ten Thousand Puppet Demons are real geniuses. Hiss... I really suspect Qing Jun might fall for it."

While the little girl ate, her eyes remained fixed on her master.

As the saying goes... beauty is palatable!

Just watching her master, she found food tastier.

At the moment, the doubts on her master’s face were seen clearly by her.

The little girl was unhappy, the little girl was angry:

"Master! Are you bad-mouthing Qing Jun in your mind? Are you disgusted by Qing Jun eating too much?"

"How could that be?"

Looking at the little girl’s puffed-up appearance, Chen Ye burst into laughter, reached out and pinched her soft nose, pampering her,

"I was just thinking, my Qing Jun is so smart, if bad people try to deceive you with tasty stuff, you’d surely see through them, wouldn’t you?"

Qing Jun thought hard:

"Hmm... If it’s really tasty, Qing Jun can eat it first and then fight the bad person, can’t I?"

"..."

Chen Ye’s mouth twitched.

This is so Qing Jun.

Need a real good lesson for the little girl.

But teaching people never works;

Only events teach people, and they learn at once.

Since everything was under control now,
