Chapter 194: 115 Goodbye Ye Xuan'er! Brother's Immediate Offence! Ye Chen Collapses! (10,000 words) _5
"You...."
Yuanyi was both embarrassed and angry, his plump features twisted together!
Rebel! Rebel!
A wolf has been invited into the house!
The useless ones are going to bite back!
He lamented in his heart.
Meanwhile, within the Divine Soul space of the ancient sword at the youth's waist, a woman with a seductive posture and revealing outfit was also dumbfounded, her fists clenched tightly.
"This little rascal... he can't be allowed to stay."
「The next day.」
At the crack of dawn.
Lin Xiao woke up by the waterfall at the Enlightenment Cliff of Dragon Head Peak.
It turned out that last night, after returning from Phoenix Caw Peak, his bed had been taken over by his junior sister, Lu Yingying. Not wanting to disturb her, he decided to go to Enlightenment Cliff to visit Jiang Yuan.
Ever since they parted ways in Canglan City, they hadn't had a chance to catch up, even after meeting again at the entrance of the Sword Tomb Secret Realm.
Lin Xiao always clearly distinguished between grudges and gratitude, and he felt the need to thank Jiang Yuan in person.
However, to his surprise, after calling out Jiang Yuan's name a few times at Enlightenment Cliff last night, there was no response.
Not wanting to be impolite by searching Jiang Yuan's Blessed Abode, he decided to nap by the waterfall and wait.
"Junior Brother Lin! What brings you here?"
A cheerful male voice, tinged with surprise, echoed from behind.
Turning his head, Lin Xiao saw a handsome man with disheveled hair and a shabby Daoist robe, approaching from the Blessed Abode behind him on his sword.
"I came to see you, Old Jiang."
Lin Xiao grinned and took out a jar of long-cherished Mirror Flower Fairy Brew from his storage space, tossing it over. "If you don't mind, let's have some of this brew and a chat."
"Hahaha, not at all! It's my honor, Jiang Yuan's honor, to drink with a rare Sword Cultivator genius like Junior Brother Lin!"
Jiang Yuan burst into laughter, sat down unceremoniously, and took the wine jar.
Perhaps it was due to their bond formed in earlier years, or perhaps because they were both outstanding Sword Cultivators who cherished each other's talents.
A joyful smile blossomed on Jiang Yuan's usually gloomy and solemn face.
"Eh? Junior Brother Lin, this jar of brew... You didn't seem to retrieve it from your Purple Mansion, nor did I see you carrying any storage pouches. Where could you have hidden it?"
Jiang Yuan asked casually.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's heart sank.
This guy indeed has an eye for detail!
But how would I explain it? I couldn't possibly tell him I'm a noble transmigrator with an unlimited system-based storage space, could I?
He cleared his throat and waved his hand. "Ah, that's unimportant. What's important is..."
But before he could finish his sentence, a familiar voice came from the sky.
"Senior Brother Jiang! The Sect Leader has summoned you for a matter!"
Lin Xiao and Jiang Yuan exchanged a glance and looked up.
They saw a handsome young cultivator with a fair complexion and sparkling white teeth riding his sword towards them, landing behind them. It was Xu Zhengqing, the Chief Disciple of Dragon Head Peak.
"What happened, Junior Brother Xu?"
Jiang Yuan was the first to stand up and ask.
Xu Zhengqing hesitated, glancing at Lin Xiao beside them.
"Senior Brother Lin is not an outsider. If you have something to say, just say it directly!"
Jiang Yuan frowned.
"Yes!"
Xu Zhengqing said, "The Northern Territory Queen had her royal attendant deliver a personally written letter to our Qinglan Sect..."
As he said this, he glanced at Lin Xiao again with a complicated expression. "She had originally intended to infiltrate the sect and secretly hand the letter to Senior Brother Lin. However, our Mountain Protection Array detected her, so she was detained in the Enforcement Hall's prison."
"The content of the letter has now been intercepted by the Sect Leader and the Elders. In essence, the letter requests..."
"It asks Senior Brother Lin to travel alone to the neutral town of Beacon City on the border of the Eastern Region for a meeting!"
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, not only Jiang Yuan but even Lin Xiao, the man involved, was stunned.
What the hell!?
In the original novel, Ye Xuan'er and I had nothing to do with each other; our paths never intersected!
In fact, when Ye Xuan'er led her troops to surround the sect, I had already committed suicide at the Cliff of Reflection!
Why would she send a letter to me, a minor villainous character!?
As the Northern Territory Queen who controls an entire region, Ye Xuan'er definitely wouldn't know a minor character like me.
Therefore, there can only be one truth!
She found out about the incident at the Five Branches Martial Meeting, where I severed Ye Chen's arm and injured him. She wants to intimidate me with her power, force me to surrender, and take revenge for her brother!
Having figured it all out, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that things were becoming complicated.
In fact, according to the original plot, Ye Xuan'er would sooner or later lead 800,000 Beichuan troops to surround the sect for Ye Chen's sake.
He had already devised a countermeasure for this!
But it's definitely not at this time!
Ye Xuan'er surrounding the mountain was a major event that was supposed to happen after the Demon Sect was repelled!
It shouldn't happen so soon!
And... as the Northern Territory Queen, leading her elite troops, why would she occupy Beacon City, located at the junction of the righteous and demonic forces, instead of heading directly for Qinglan? What exactly is her intention?
Keep in mind, when Yuanyi informed the Eight Great Demon Sects of the official invasion, this town was the first to fall!
Sigh, as expected, one wrong step leads to many more.
Lin Xiao shook his head and asked Xu Zhengqing, "So, why have you come to notify Senior Brother Jiang?"
Xu Zhengqing smiled and cupped his fists towards Jiang Yuan. "The Sect Leader has ordered that Senior Brother Jiang is to resume the position of Chief Disciple of Dragon Head Peak! Therefore, for this important matter, Senior Brother Jiang is specially summoned to the Shenxiao Hall on Dragon Head Peak to discuss strategies with the Elders!"
"Alright!" Lin Xiao exclaimed, then patted the still-dazed Jiang Yuan on the shoulder. "There's no time to lose. Old Jiang, let's go together!"
