Chapter 513: Truth Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter
Luo Yin looked hesitantly at Liu Shang and Yang Yi. Ye Mo realized it wasn’t appropriate for them to know, so he asked, “Yang Yi, do you know about Flowing Snake?”
“Of course I do; it’s the headquarters of Luo Yue. I was planning to go there for the holidays after I start working,” Yang Yi said.
Ye Mo smiled. “You could actually go there now. Didn’t you just graduate? If you want, you could start working at Luo Yue.”
“What? Work at Luo Yue? Brother Ye, do you think it’s that easy to get in? I heard someone tried to get in through the Vice Mayor and still got rejected,” Yang Yi replied.
Ye Mo said, “Er Hu is working at Luo Yue now. If you want to work there, just find him, and you’ll get accepted.”
If she told Er Hu that Ye Mo had sent her to Flowing Snake, he would definitely give her a good position.
“Really?” Yang Yi still couldn’t believe such great fortune was descending upon her. But soon she realized Ye Mo’s statement was probably true. If even someone Young Master Wen feared was that respectful to Ye Mo, he probably had significant influence.
“If you want to go, you can go with your boyfriend. Just say you come on my behalf,” Ye Mo continued.
Yang Yi said without hesitation, “Of course I want to go! I just graduated, and I already have such a good job. Thank you, Brother Ye.”
Liu Shang didn’t expect he could also work at Flowing Snake—he even forgot to thank Ye Mo.
…
Seeing the couple leave, Luo Yin said, “Ye Mo, Luo Yue is related to you, right?”
Ye Mo looked at her. “You’re very smart.”
Ye Mo’s tone wasn’t enthusiastic. He suspected Luo Yin had taken the Ni Luo Sutra; he couldn’t like a woman with such calculations.
Luo Yin didn’t know why Ye Mo was cold to her, but she still said, “The pill you gave Luo Xuan is very precious. You must be an expert in pill-making, so it’s no surprise that Luo Yue is related to you.”
Ye Mo didn’t seem to hear and said, “Tell me why you were in the mountain and how you were found. What’s Luo Xuan’s situation now?”
“You don’t seem to like me. If I remember correctly, we’ve only met once, and we didn’t even talk.” Luo Yin really didn’t understand why Ye Mo disliked her.
Ye Mo sneered. “If I’m not wrong, weren’t you interested in the Ni Luo Sutra? That day outside the Ying Hua Temple, Luo Fei screamed from outside. You went out to check, and soon after, you came back injured. You probably injured yourself, right? And in reality, you had taken the Ni Luo Sutra.”
“You—” Luo Yin looked at Ye Mo furiously, so angry she couldn’t speak. How could he think she would harm her sisters?
Ye Mo didn’t seem to care about her anger and said calmly, “This is what happened: your second sister was hurt, and you rushed out. At that time, you should have been on full alert; also, you’re at black level middle stage. Who could have hurt you in such a short time? Either that person knew your cultivation method very well, or it was someone countless times stronger than you.”
“However, it’s impossible that the person was much stronger than you. If there had been an earth level martial artist there, you wouldn’t have gotten out alive—he could have just killed you all. So, other than yourself, who would know you that well? Furthermore, all three of you were there, but you lost the Ni Luo Sutra before your eyes. Other than an earth level peak person or a half-way great heaven one, it could have only been one of you. I know Luo Xuan wouldn’t take it, and Luo Fei didn’t take it either.”
Luo Yin sneered. “It’s as though you saw it with your own eyes. You really do know Luo Xuan well, but how do you know Luo Fei hasn’t—”
Then, Luo Yin suddenly stopped. She had a strange expression, as though she had realized something.
After a moment, she seemed extremely disappointed and sad. She looked down with despair. “Have you seen Luo Fei?”
Ye Mo nodded but didn’t speak.
Luo Yin continued, “Ye Mo, if you see her again, tell her I’m sorry. I suspected she took the Ni Luo Sutra, but I now know she didn’t. I know this not because you saw her, but because of something else.”
After hearing this, Ye Mo grew dubious. It seemed Luo Yin hadn’t taken it, but how did she know who had taken it just by listening to his part of the story? Was there really an earth level peak master? But why hadn’t that person harmed the three of them?
Luo Yin seemed down, so after a while she looked up and said, “Ye Mo, regardless of whether you believe me, I didn’t take the Ni Luo Sutra. I know who took it, but I can’t tell you. You see, that day when Luo Xuan brought it, I flipped through it. I usually use a perfume I make myself; it’s unique.”
Then, she calmed down and continued, “When I was about to go back with her, I smelled that aroma. Because it’s so unique, I told her to go back first and tried to chase it down along the way. I didn’t find anyone, yet I was knocked out on the mountain. You already know what happened next.”
Ye Mo sunk in thought. It actually wasn’t Luo Yin who took the Ni Luo Sutra; he had guessed wrong. Then, who took it? Whoever did it must be much stronger than the three of them, but chose not to kill them. This meant the thief knew them personally.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo suddenly asked, “Luo Yin, did your sect only send out the three of you?”
Luo Yin sighed and looked at Ye Mo. “You guessed it. We had four spots; a martial elder was protecting us. She is at half-way great heaven, so, so—”
Luo Yin didn’t continue, but Ye Mo knew what she meant. That martial elder didn’t kill all of them, since they were from the same sect.
Luo Yin asked, “Is Luo Fei well now?”
Ye Mo gave her a few normal recovery pills and said, “She’s doing very well. You guessed right; Luo Yue is my company. If you want to see her, you can go to Flowing Snake; she’s there now. These pills can help you recover your wounds a little. You should be able to use inner qi for self-protection with this.”
Then, Ye Mo gave a stack of money to Luo Yin. “This will be your travel allowance. Luo Fei hit Luo Xuan, and now she has no face to see Luo Xuan. You three can take care of your own issues yourselves. I’m still busy tonight; I won’t be going with you to Flowing Snake.”
“Thank you,” Luo Yin said, but she pushed the money away and just took the pills. “I don’t know where to go now either. I’m scared of facing Luo Fei; perhaps she doesn’t know how to face me either. If I go back to the sect, I will get exposed.”
Ye Mo could understand her feelings now. He thought for a moment and said, “It’s fine; you can find a place to stay for now. After I’m done with my business here, I’ll take you back to Flowing Snake. If you don’t want to go back to the hidden sects, you can stay at Flowing Snake.”
He booked a room at Yun Shang Pearl and told Luo Yin to recover there. It was nighttime when Ye Mo left the place.
The otherworldly entertainment had gotten more boisterous. Although it was a base for Northern Sand, no one could tell. Most of those who came were wealthy young generations. Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense in, but strangely he didn’t find Liang Shiguo and the others.
It was their base; even if they had something to do, they wouldn’t leave the place. Just when Ye Mo was getting confused, he sensed something with his spirit sense.
