Chapter 354: Confusing Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter
This young man’s speed was very fast, and it kept getting faster. Ye Mo was certain that if he went to a marathon, he would win first place. This speed was faster than cars in busy districts, but far inferior to Ye Mo’s.
Ye Mo could see that the man was following a mark from how he kept stopping. One hour later, they were out of the Yu state city district and in the Da Hong Mountain region.
Da Hong Mountain was a small mountain outside Yu state. Ye Mo was sure Fei Fei knew she couldn’t escape and was using Da Hong Mountain to hide. This woman was really dumb. Since she had been chased for so long, and her pursuer knew her location, even an idiot would know she was marked, yet she didn’t remove the mark.
Although the streets outside Da Hong Mountain were busy, like those in Yu state city, there were no signs of human life inside. The area seemed open.
The man finally stopped in a valley and, looking at a rock a few hundred meters away, said, “Fei Fei, come out.”
Ye Mo was shocked. Even he couldn’t scan his spirit sense a few hundred meters out, but this youth could sense her. He wondered what kind of mark he had used; it was comparable to his spirit sense mark.
Indeed, a woman emerged from behind the rock. It was the woman from the nightclub. From her fatigued look, Ye Mo knew she had reached her limit.
“Fei Fei, what can’t we talk about? Why did you hide from me for months?” The handsome young man said helplessly.
Fei Fei sneered, drew her sword, and said coldly, “Qi Yulin, I was blind to love a scum like you. Stop pretending. Kill me if you want, but don’t put on that disgusting face.”
So this man was Qi Yulin, and Luo Fei was indeed Luo Xuan’s second martial sister. “From what she said, they seem to be former lovers,” Ye Mo thought.
Qi Yulin frowned. “Fei Fei, I just want you to show me the Ni Luo Sutra. I wasn’t going to do anything to you, and I don’t want the book. Besides, what’s the difference between what is yours and what is mine? You’re my woman, and even if you weren’t, I wouldn’t hurt you. But you wouldn’t trust me and hid the Ni Luo Sutra instead.”
Luo Fei said sardonically, “Qi Yulin, stop pretending. I regret two things: harming my sisters for a dog and liking trash like you. I was blind. I didn’t take the Ni Luo Sutra, and even if I had, I wouldn’t give it to you. Give up.”
Qi Yulin’s face fell. He said bleakly, “Fei Fei, I don’t know why you feel this way, but we can’t go back. We can only live outside for the rest of our lives. Put aside those thoughts and come with me. Stop hiding.”
“Go with you? Qi Yulin, you wretched hypocrite! If you hadn’t needed the Ni Luo Sutra, you would’ve killed me already. I don’t know what you did, but do you dare swear those who attacked me had nothing to do with you? If I hadn’t been careful, I would’ve been killed hours ago. I don’t mind my life, but there are still things I care about.” Luo Fei’s emotions overflowed.
Qi Yulin’s expression calmed. “Fei Fei, if you want to think that way, I can’t help it. Yes, I sent the people who stopped you, but I didn’t order them to kill you. Believe it or not. Fei Fei, if you believe me, take out the Ni Luo Sutra, and we can find a peaceful place to live.”
Unexpectedly, Luo Fei lowered her head, her sword sinking as if touched by Qi Yulin’s proposal.
Qi Yulin quickly approached. “Fei Fei, the heavens and earth can see my heart for you. I truly want to live with you, but I’m afraid news would get out, so…”
“I swear I could never believe you again, so you can go die!” Luo Fei jumped, her soft sword flashing toward Qi Yulin’s chest.
Qi Yulin hadn’t expected Luo Fei to attack, much less try to kill him. He believed Luo Fei still loved him deeply, but reality proved otherwise.
Qi Yulin sidestepped, but the sword still grazed his ribs.
Injured, Qi Yulin retaliated, kicking Luo Fei in the stomach. She flew back, landed, spat blood, and smiled, as if realizing she wouldn’t make it.
Qi Yulin took a pill, opened his clothes, and sprinkled powder on his wound. He didn’t seem seriously injured, but he was furious that Luo Fei had dared attack him.
Luo Fei looked at Qi Yulin and sneered, murmuring, “Sorry I attacked you, Sister Luo Xuan, but I didn’t go all out. I know you and Big Sister suspect I wanted to kill you, but I didn’t…”
Qi Yulin yelled, “Bitch, you rubbed poison on your sword. Even if I don’t get the Ni Luo Sutra, I will still kill you!”
But Luo Fei had already fallen unconscious.
Ye Mo was confused. Their conversation suggested Luo Fei hadn’t taken the Ni Luo Sutra. Although she wanted to help Qi Yulin, she didn’t deliver killing blows to her martial sister. This meant that even if Luo Xuan hadn’t reached black level, Luo Fei’s palm wouldn’t have killed her.
Furthermore, the big martial sister’s injuries didn’t seem related to Luo Fei. What was going on? Who took the Ni Luo Sutra?
Qi Yulin struggled, wanting to kill Luo Fei, but stopped when someone appeared.
“Who are you?” Qi Yulin glared at Ye Mo, his face purple from poison.
Ye Mo said plainly, “Answer a few questions, and perhaps I can give you a quick death. First, did you attack Luo Xuan’s big martial sister? Were you the one who poisoned her? Second, did you seduce Luo Fei for the Ni Luo Sutra?”
Qi Yulin smiled hideously, raising his sword. Ye Mo pointed at his forehead.
Qi Yulin’s face went blank. “I didn’t ambush Luo Xuan’s big martial sister, nor did I get the Ni Luo Sutra. I arranged with Luo Fei to knock out Luo Yin, and I didn’t meet her before she returned to the temple. I contacted Luo Fei to get news about the Ni Luo Sutra.”
Ye Mo wanted to ask more, but Luo Fei’s poison was too potent. Qi Yulin’s eyes returned to normal; shock flashed across his face before he fell dead.
“What a potent poison.” Ye Mo glanced at Qi Yulin, who had turned completely black, and reduced him to ashes with a fireball. A black dot tried to escape but was burned away.
A Gu in Qi Yulin’s body? Ye Mo didn’t mind. This one seemed different from the one he’d met before.
Luo Xuan’s big martial sister didn’t seem to have been ambushed by Qi Yulin. What happened then? Combined with the missing Ni Luo Sutra, Ye Mo felt increasingly confused.
Only Luo Xuan and her big martial sister had been in the Ying Hua temple. Luo Fei conspired with Qi Yulin for the Ni Luo Sutra; three people were involved.
Ye Mo guessed that after Luo Fei discovered Luo Xuan had the Ni Luo Sutra, she used an excuse to go out and tell Qi Yulin. Then, one hid outside while the other went into the Ying Hua temple. When Luo Xuan’s big martial sister entered, she was ambushed by Qi Yulin. From Luo Xuan’s perspective, that’s what happened.
But Luo Fei, hidden in the temple, ambushed Luo Xuan and stole the Ni Luo Sutra, after which Luo Xuan’s big martial sister woke up and took Luo Xuan to escape.
Now Ye Mo knew that wasn’t what happened. Qi Yulin didn’t ambush Luo Xuan’s big martial sister, and Luo Fei didn’t take the Ni Luo Sutra. The reality was different from what he thought.
He could only wake Luo Fei and ask her.
