Chapter 1573 - 633: Master Zi’s Card

Chapter 1573: Chapter 633: Master Zi’s Card

After taking out the Jiu Provinces Card given by Master Zi, Ye Lingyue took a look.

An ordinary Jiu Provinces Card usually has the name of the card-holding team or city marked on it, along with the specific amount of Merit Points.

For example, the card of the Huangquan Team has the words "Huangquan" on it, and corresponds to around 138,000 Merit Points.

But the Jiu Provinces Card given by Master Zi is different; there’s no name, no Merit Points value, it’s completely black, looking like a Nameless Card.

Who knows if Master Zi has any Merit Points.

It seems like I’ve never heard of his achievements from Master Zi?

Besides, can Master Zi’s card even be used?

Ye Lingyue mumbled, but as soon as she saw Ye Liuyun wearing handcuffs and shackles, she immediately tossed her concerns aside.

The master’s item, given to her, means it’s hers.

At worst, I’ll find a way to return it later.

Seeing Ye Lingyue fiddle for a long time and finally take out a card, hesitating to hand it over, Captain Li urged her from the side.

"Why the rush? Here, three cards in total, 161,000 Merit Points."

Ye Lingyue gritted her teeth and handed over the three cards.

The Jiu Provinces Cards each had their unique imprints.

All it required was to inject Primordial Power or spiritual power to use them.

As soon as Ye Lingyue and Tang Tiansong scanned their cards, the Merit Points on the cards went to zero, and in the blink of an eye, 150,000 Merit Points were gone.

When it came to the last card of Master Zi, Ye Lingyue remembered that only Master Zi should be able to scan his card.

She thought for a moment and tried to inject a portion of her spiritual power into the card.

Ye Lingyue silently chanted.

"11,000 Merit Points, please let there be. Master Zi, as a man, if you don’t even have 11,000 Merit Points, you won’t get a wife in the future."

Ye Lingyue thought nonsensically, and just as her spiritual power merged into the card, the Nameless Card lit up with brilliance.

Upon looking again, 11,000 Merit Points had already been transferred to Captain Li’s card.

Ye Lingyue’s initially tense little face suddenly blossomed with joy; if there weren’t so many people around, she would have had the urge to kiss that Nameless Card fiercely.

"161,000 Merit Points, guaranteed without deception. Now release the people."

Ye Lingyue proudly waved the Nameless Card.

Third Young Master Jin muttered from the side.

"She actually managed to gather enough. What’s there to be proud of, sacrificing everything for ten war prisoners?"

Xi Jiuye’s expression wasn’t great either; seeing Ye Lingyue racking her brains for 11,000 Merit Points while refusing to ask him for help made him increasingly gloomy.

But seeing her face so bright and cheerful when she bought the war prisoners, his mood inexplicably brightened as well.

It had been a long time since he’d seen such lively expressions on a person’s face.

Since becoming a Divine Master, his immense power and supreme status had made everyone around him tread carefully in his presence.

Even Lan’er was like this, but not the one in front of him, who never flattered him, expressing her disdain for him thoroughly.

Just like in the past, when he was with "that person," only "that person" would have such vivid expressions.

Although their faces were completely different, the plain face in front of him unknowingly overlapped with the face of Ye Lingyue he held in his heart.

"Xi Jiuye, you’re delusional, to think of associating them together."

Xi Jiuye clenched his fist under his sleeve, forcibly driving away that absurd thought from his mind.

Ye Lingyue was already dead.

Even if there were similarities, Hong Mingyue was a hundred, a thousand times more alike.

After purchasing Ye Liuyun, Ye Lingyue hurriedly removed her handcuffs and shackles.

"Cousin Liuyun, what on earth happened?"

Ye Lingyue grasped Ye Liuyun’s hand, and only when Ye Liuyun felt the warm touch did she realize she was freed.

"Ling Yue..."

Ye Liuyun couldn’t hold back her tears, choking up.

"Ling Yue, the condition of these war prisoners is not very good. Most of them are injured, and they likely haven’t had a proper meal or rest for some time. How about letting Senior Brother Xiao Chuan and I first take them back to the inn, and you go look for the others? We can discuss everything after returning to the inn."

Huang Jun looked at Ye Liuyun with sympathy.

He noticed her tattered clothes and quickly removed his coat to drape over her.

Ye Lingyue thought for a moment and agreed with Huang Jun, so she let the two take Ye Liuyun and the others back.

"Captain Li, I want to ask you something. Where did you rescue my cousin from?"

Ye Lingyue called out to Captain Li.

The other, having just received more than 160,000 Merit Points, was in a great mood.

"Oh, I rescued them when I was gathering a Snake People Tribe in the Southwest Demon Plain. The Snake People said they caught these war prisoners near some small city. The woman you mentioned was severely injured and abandoned by her companions."

Captain Li didn’t hide anything.

"Thank you, Captain Li. But Captain Li, trading people like this is unrighteous behavior. I request that you act cautiously."

Ye Lingyue glanced at Captain Li, who chuckled awkwardly, clearly not taking Ye Lingyue’s words to heart.

But the saying "those who do unrighteous deeds will meet a dire end" is certainly true.

Soon after obtaining this ill-gotten gain, Captain Li was reported to have been strangled in front of his bed by several enraged war prisoners he had abused, in the dead of night.

Of course, that was more than ten days later, by which time Ye Liuyun had also healed from her injuries.

After Huang Jun and Qin Xiaochuan sent the ten war prisoners away, Tang Tiansong, Ye Lingyue, Guangzi, and others continued searching for the rest of their team.

Senior Brother Xiao Chuan mentioned that Bo Qing and Situ, among others, went to the comprehensive area earlier.

"I wouldn’t have thought someone would abandon their teammates. Your cousin’s team’s behavior was really unrighteous."

Tang Tiansong expressed his thoughts.

"If it was just being abandoned due to heavy injuries, that’s one thing. I suspect Cousin Liuyun was ambushed and injured, subsequently left behind."

A layer of frost enveloped Ye Lingyue’s face.

She hadn’t forgotten the venomous glint in Yue Mei’s eyes when Yue Mei saw her conversing with Ye Liuyun at the Ancient Pass.

According to Die Mei, Ye Liuyun had rapidly gained the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion’s favor soon after joining, already becoming a rival to Yue Mei.

Ye Liuyun was competent and quick-witted, unlikely to be easily captured by the demon clan.

Unless Yue Mei had covertly done something.

If anything happened to Ye Liuyun, the one who would benefit most would undoubtedly be Yue Mei, the top disciple of the Yaochi Pavilion Master.

If the situation proves true, she will not spare Yue Mei!

As Ye Lingyue pondered, she unwittingly arrived at the comprehensive area.
