Evil of all ages

Chapter 107 First Meeting with Wei Qianlan

While waiting outside the hall, Ye Wuji smelled a complex and strong medicinal fragrance.

Now that they've entered the hall, things have taken an extreme turn for the worse; the strong medicinal fragrance now feels pungent to Ye Wuji.

However, Ye Wuji's expression remained unchanged. Even though he didn't want to see His Majesty become obsessed with this practice, what could he say as a subject?

Moreover, he now has a new master, so he no longer cares about His Majesty.

He did not see His Majesty because a long screen blocked his view, but the fire inside the screen burned brightly, casting His Majesty's shadow on it.

Looking at the shadows on the screen, they resembled an old dragon, eroded by time, struggling to survive.

Ye Wuji didn't need to kneel, because he was a Grandmaster-level expert. He simply put his hands together in a slight gesture of respect.

"Cough cough..."

The sound of His Majesty's aged and hoarse cough could be heard coming from inside.

Ye Wuji remained silent. He knew that His Majesty had summoned him most likely because of the matter of the Southern City Prison, and he would wait for His Majesty to ask questions.

"Minister Ye, have you seen the Ghost King?"

His Majesty's aged voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, I have not seen it."

Ye Wuji replied.

Not seen!?
On the screen, His Majesty's shadow paused slightly, and his all-seeing dragon eyes seemed to be fixed on Ye Wuji through the screen.

The emperor's power enveloped him invisibly. If an ordinary person had been, they would have been prostrating themselves and trembling, but Ye Wuji was completely unaffected.

They did what they were supposed to do, without a hint of guilt.

"Before you gained power and became a Grandmaster, the Demonic Sect threatened you with your family. For the sake of the country, you never backed down."

Why back down this time?

An old, hoarse voice came through, carrying a question.

"Although I have never met the Ghost King, I have fought him from a distance. It was during this battle from a distance that I had no choice but to back down."

Ye Wuji replied calmly.

"The real Ghost King? Or a fake Ghost King?"

The old emperor's tone was slightly impatient, as if he was eager to know the answer.

"The one who fought me from a distance has a very strange power that I have never seen before."

"Upon colliding with his power, my life force seemed to be forcibly stripped away at that moment, and even my consciousness was frozen."

"This doesn't seem like human power."

Ye Wuji did not directly answer whether he was facing a real ghost king or a fake ghost king, but his answer seemed to say everything.

"Ghost King"

The old emperor muttered the words "Ghost King" and then fell silent, as if deep in thought.

"The South City Prison will remain as it is. Your current task is to contact the Ghost Emperor and find a way to recruit him."

"If we can't recruit him, we must find out what kind of opportunity he received."

"It enabled him to break through from the late stage of the Innate Realm to the Grandmaster Supreme Realm in just over ten years, and even repel the veteran Grandmaster Supreme Realm who came to test his strength."

"If the imperial court were to obtain this opportunity..."

Ye Wuji accepted the order. He felt no pressure about the mission, since the final result would be that the Ghost Emperor couldn't recruit him and couldn't find any opportunities.

White Lotus Sect stronghold

Moon Village by the Bright Moon River

Huang Yu'er woke up on the boat. The boat stopped at the dock on the Mingyue River. The incense master Zhu Qiucai led her into Yue'er Village, but did not immediately take her to see the Third Elder.

Instead, he locked her in the room and had Huang Mang watch over her.

It's unclear whether the Third Elder was too busy to see her or feared that this daughter of the Ghost King might be cursed, so he kept her in a room for observation.

Huang Mang stood guard at the door of the room, and all he did was cook.

Even though he had already learned from the incense master Zhu Qiucai that the person he had captured looked exactly like the Holy Maiden and might become her substitute in the future.

He doesn't care about any of that; what's the point of caring about such things compared to the simple pleasure of cooking?

Suddenly, a sneaky little girl appeared.

"Who?"

Huang Mang stood up, but he didn't put down the rice bucket; his gaze swept coldly over it.

When he saw that the little girl who had sneaked over looked exactly like the little girl he had captured, he was momentarily dazed.

"Saint...Saintess"

He was a good-for-nothing, but he wasn't an idiot. He immediately realized that the person in front of him was the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect.

He immediately knelt down on one knee, but even after kneeling, he didn't put down the rice bucket.

When Huang Yu'er heard Huang Mang call out the words "Holy Maiden," she knew that Wei Qianlan was right outside the door, which stirred something within her.

"Wei Qianlan, I will not lose again in this life."

Huang Yu'er regained her composure and continued to pretend to be a panicked little girl who had been captured.

"Open"

Wei Qianlan pointed to the locked door, signaling Huang Mang to open it.

"this…"

Huang Mang hesitated, but seeing the Holy Maiden's fierce yet threatening gaze, he had no choice but to get up, take out his key, and open the door. As soon as the door opened, the Holy Maiden skipped and hopped inside.

As soon as they entered the room, Wei Qianlan and Huang Yu'er's eyes met.

Huang Yu'er appeared panicked, but deep in her eyes lay a hatred that transcended the passage of time.

When Wei Qianlan saw that Huang Yu'er really looked exactly like her, she was stunned for a moment, and then she happily approached Huang Yu'er.

"Wow, sister, you're so cute."

As Wei Qianlan spoke, she raised her hands to pinch Huang Yu'er's cheeks.

Wait, something's not right!
This is Huang Yu'er's heartfelt sentiment.

Because the Wei Qianlan in front of her was different from the Wei Qianlan she knew.

Before she could think it through, Wei Qianlan pinched her cheek.

As soon as she pinched it, a look of satisfaction appeared on Wei Qianlan's face.

The next second, the satisfaction on her face vanished as Huang Yu'er swept her hand away.

"who are you?"

"What do you want to do?"

Why are you arresting me?

Huang Yu'er shrank back, continuing to feign panic.

Her vigilance towards Wei Qianlan did not decrease in the slightest; on the contrary, it increased to its highest level. She believed that Wei Qianlan was faking it and was a scheming woman.

"Sister, don't be afraid, I mean no harm. I just want to find a playmate, it's Grand Tutor Zhao..."

Wei Qianlan had read Huang Yu'er's information and knew that Huang Yu'er was two or three months older than her, so she called Huang Yu'er "elder sister".

The reason she called the Third Elder Zhao Guanghe "Grand Tutor Zhao" was because the Third Elder told her to call him that.

"I want my brother, I want to go home, can you let me go home?"

Huang Yu'er also delivered a powerful performance, squeezing out tears with her big eyes as she looked at Wei Qianlan.

"me……"

Wei Qianlan was at a loss because she couldn't decide to let Huang Yu'er leave.

At this moment, Zhu Qiucai rushed over.

"My holy maiden, why did you come here without doing your homework?"

Wei Qianlan's heart tightened: "Grand Tutor Zhao is back?"

Zhu Qiucai: "He's back. He found out that you, Holy Maiden, hadn't done your homework. He had a dark face and told me to come and call you back, and to take her with me."

"Oh no, I'm going to get beaten up again."

Wei Qianlan leaned against Huang Yu'er, looking just like a foolish student who was afraid of his teacher.

Zhu Qiucai gave Huang Mang a look, signaling Huang Mang to bring Huang Yu'er along.

A moment later, the group entered the school.

Zhao Guanghe was the only student in the huge school.

Seeing Zhao Guanghe's dark and angry face, Wei Qianlan lowered her head and dared not speak.

"come over"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qianlan had no choice but to obediently walk over.

"hand"

Upon hearing the word "hand," Wei Qianlan trembled, but she still reached out her hand.

Zhao Guanghe struck down with the ruler.

"Snapped"

The sound of the ruler striking the palm of the hand rang out.

Wei Qianlan's eyes reddened from the pain.

"reach out"

Zhao Guanghe saw Wei Qianlan pull her hand back and showed a displeased expression.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qianlan could only tremblingly extend her hand.

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

Zhao Guanghe stopped after striking twice.

Wei Qianlan dared not make a sound of crying, but tears still streamed down her face from the pain.

Wipe away your tears.

Zhao Guanghe couldn't stand tears; he felt that tears were a sign of weakness.

He would not allow the saintess to be weak!

Wei Qianlan quickly wiped away her tears, fearing she would be beaten again.

Huang Yu'er maintained a tense and bewildered demeanor, observing as she went.

Seeing Wei Qianlan cry after being beaten made her feel good, but she always felt that this was not how a scheming woman should behave.

Before Huang Yu'er could think it over, Zhao Guanghe's gaze fell on her.
