Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 510: Leopard Transforms into a Taoist Figure

A light breeze blew, and a layer of light mist rose above the sea, which looked like a dream under the bright light.

The Taoist's face was gloomy and he was extremely upset.

If the fleet actually arrived in the territory of Xuanyuan League at this time and supplied the goods and resources to Xuanyuan League on time, then he would lose this bet.

Not to mention that it was all in vain, the most important thing is that his long-cherished path to the Golden Elixir will be frustrated!

The Great Elder is stubborn and will definitely protect Ye Wei after this incident. By then, it will be unlikely that he will be able to exchange her for the Dao...

Thinking of this, he was already filled with anger, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is that wild Taoist priest who interfered? Can Wu Zhong tell who he is?"

At this time, he already suspected that the Great Elder had secretly sent someone to help Ye Wei succeed. After all, this would give him a reason to come forward to protect this niece who had ruined the family tradition.

The disciple answered truthfully, "The Taoist priest joined us halfway. He looked ordinary and rarely showed up on the boat. But when the situation arose, he acted decisively and dispelled the undercurrent."

"Joined halfway?"

The Taoist frowned and fell into deep thought.

Upon seeing this, the disciple quickly took out another object and whispered, "When our master realized something was amiss, he secretly made a rubbing of this person's face."

"Since you have Tuoying, why didn't you take it out earlier!"

The Taoist shouted angrily, and quickly took the Tuoying jade slip. He resisted the urge to punch the man to death, and concentrated his mind to probe into the jade slip.

After seeing Chen Mu's elegant and bright face, his mind was shocked and he blurted out, "It's him!"

"Master, do you know this person?" The disciple didn't dare to speak loudly at this time, so he could only lower his eyes and ask softly.

The Taoist did not answer, but his eyes flickered constantly, and he was obviously thinking about this matter.

If he was not mistaken, the man on the jade slip was the wild man who had an affair with Ye Wei. He had met him once before...

"No wonder he joined in halfway and took action so quickly. It turns out the real boss has returned..."

The Taoist sneered repeatedly, feeling like he was being teased, and murderous intent immediately spread.

He didn't know the identity of that wild man. It could be said that no one knew where that wild man came from, but he hooked up with Ye Wei and gave birth to an illegitimate child.

"Alright, alright, it would be fine if you just disappeared, but you actually dared to come back. If I kill you, the Great Elder might even thank me..."

The Taoist gnashed his teeth and said, "No matter who you are, if you ruin my good deeds, I will kill you!"

He waved his robe sleeves, ignored the disciples on the boat, and chased angrily towards the middle of the sea.

……

As dusk deepens and the setting sun is about to set, the red clouds in the sky are reflected on the sea, making the sea and sky appear to be one color, a soft rose red.

More than 30 ships gradually slowed down and approached the huge island in front of them, which had no end in sight.

Chen Mu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the island in front of him thoughtfully.

After a moment, he suddenly turned around and said, "Thank you Madam Ye for your care. Now that we have reached our final destination, I must take my leave."

Ye Wei, who was gazing at Chen Mu's back in a trance, was suddenly startled. A little embarrassed, she asked, "Master, are you so anxious? Why don't you come with me to the island for a gathering so that I can express my gratitude."

Chen Mu smiled slightly and did not respond.

Although he was also curious about what was wrong with Ye Wei, he had important matters to attend to, so it was better not to cause trouble.

"After traveling thousands of miles together, we will eventually have to say goodbye. Madam Ye, goodbye."

Seeing that Chen Mu's expression was serious and he was about to escape in a flash, Ye Wei bit her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth, still unable to hold back the throbbing in her heart, and asked aloud: "Master... do you know Hua Meimei?" As soon as these words came out, Chen Mu stopped moving, frowned slightly, and looked at Ye Wei with some surprise.

Of course he knew Hua Meimei. Wasn't she the Jindan demon cultivator who called herself "the Demon Poet Fairy" at the eldest princess' banquet? She left a deep impression on him.

If you look at it from a certain perspective, Hua Meimei had helped him once...

When he was fleeing to the East China Sea, he stepped forward to stop Jin Yuantong who was chasing him. Although no one knew why he was against Jin Yuantong, he did help him indirectly.

But how could Ye Wei, a mortal woman, know such a Jindan demon cultivator?
Chen Mu felt doubtful and nodded at Ye Wei.

Ye Wei's nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and she asked excitedly, "Could the Taoist priest have contacted him?"

Chen Mu didn't say anything, but after taking a deep look at Ye Wei, he whispered, "Could it be that Madam Ye is with..."

At this moment, he also realized that Ye Wei's behavior, coupled with the fact that the child was half-demon, indicated that it was probably related to Hua Meimei...

Ye Wei's face flushed and she nodded embarrassedly.

Not only did she secretly marry Hua Meimei, she also spent a year as husband and wife with Hua Meimei, who had transformed into Chen Mu's appearance...

If Hua Meimei had not accidentally revealed her true appearance, she would have been kept in the dark.

She was extremely angry about this and broke off all ties with Hua Meimei, and remained steadfast despite her attempts to please her.

But over time, she realized that what she really liked was Hua Meimei's rogue nature, not her superficial appearance.

But when she changed her mind, Hua Meimei disappeared, leaving her alone to give birth and suffer criticism.

Afterwards, her father died of illness, her uncle disdained her, and her status in the temple plummeted. In the end, she had no choice but to obey the bet to fight for her last bit of freedom...

If you ask her if she regrets it, the answer is of course yes.

But the matter is done, and it is too late to regret.

She had originally decided to raise the child alone, until Chen Mu suddenly showed up and her long-lost hope was rekindled.

She thought that since Hua Meimei could transform into Chen Mu's appearance and figure, the two of them must know each other. In this way, perhaps she could find Hua Meimei...

Chen Mu frowned and said nothing. Ye Wei was too embarrassed to say it out loud. No matter how much he guessed, he would never have thought that Hua Meimei would actually change into his appearance and get close to others.

"Master, could you please tell him for me? I don't expect him to come back, I just want him to take the child away."

Ye Wei's eyes were red as she said sadly, "My uncle said that the child is half-demon. If he stays with me, it will only bring endless disasters..."

Chen Mu sighed and didn't make a promise easily. Instead, he nodded and said, "I'm not familiar with Hua Meimei. I can only say that if I have the chance to meet her, I will tell her about you..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wei shed a few tears, knelt down and kowtowed, saying with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Taoist..."

When she looked up again, Chen Mu was gone...

……

Three days later, the abbot of Qingchen Temple hurried to the giant island. As soon as he appeared, all the servants and guards in the fleet bowed and saluted him.

He ignored her completely and snorted coldly, "Where's Wu Zhong?"

At this time, Wu Zhong also noticed the Taoist priest and hurried out of the room to pay his respects: "Master."

The Taoist's eyes flashed with ferocity and he asked, "Where is that wild Taoist priest?"

Wu Zhong did not dare to hesitate and replied, "That Taoist left the fleet three days ago and has disappeared..."
