Chapter 287 Envoy
Tian Ce Palace, Tian Ce Peak, Deng Tian Hall, and an unnamed pavilion.
Ning Fengyi and Master Liu leisurely sipped tea and played chess, while Bai Yan leaned against a pavilion pillar with a slightly preoccupied expression, his brows furrowed as if lost in thought.
At this moment, Ning Fengyi, holding the black pieces, made a decisive move, prompting Liu Shizhen on the opposite side to exclaim, "What a brilliant move!"
Ning Fengyi nodded and smiled, bowing in acceptance. She then brought a cup of tea to her lips, took a sip, and turned to look at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan seemed lost in thought at this moment, still frowning and staring blankly into the distance, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Junior brother, are you still thinking about Bai Ke?" Ning Fengyi asked with a smile.
"Yes, but not entirely." Bai Yan lowered his head, closed his eyes, and pinched the space between his eyebrows, saying calmly.
Ning Fengyi stood up, walked to Bai Yan's side, gently patted his back, and then said:
"The operation to capture Ling Feng in Moyun Kingdom did encounter some problems, but I think it might not be a bad thing."
"More than ten of my disciples from the Enforcement Hall have died, and Bai Ke and Tian Xin almost lost their lives there. How did this turn out to be a good thing?"
"This time, we're really grateful to Bai Ke for his strategic planning and for giving you a heads-up. Otherwise, we would have been completely wiped out. As for the good news..."
Ning Fengyi stared into Bai Ke's eyes, then suddenly revealed a resolute expression and said:
"Isn't Xing Jian's death a good thing? The parasites in the sect have threatened the overall interests, and it is indeed necessary to purge them. This is a good start."
“Nephew Ning is right.”
At this moment, Master Liu, who was sitting on the stone stool sipping tea, also spoke, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction:
"My generation of elders have been too busy guarding the Four Absolute Formation to attend to sect affairs. I also heard some things about the sect from Junior Nephew Ning during this operation."
"The reason why my Tian Ce Palace has been able to stand firm for so many years is because everyone has a sense of responsibility to dedicate themselves to the sect and bear the destiny of the Mountain and Sea Realm."
"As the sect grows stronger, it's inevitable that a few troublemakers will emerge. There's no need to be sentimental about those who harm the sect's interests. They must be uprooted, or there will be endless trouble in the future."
Bai Yan listened quietly, glancing at Ning Fengyi and then at Master Liu. Both wore resolute expressions, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"I was ultimately too soft-hearted."
“Your temperament is just like your master’s. Your master was also so kind back then, unable to bear seeing fellow disciples kill each other. He always believed that he could awaken the conscience of these people through his actions.”
With a loud "bang," Master Liu slammed the teacup down, angrily shouting:
"But what was his fate? He was betrayed by his own sect and trapped to death in that ancient secret realm! I told him long ago never to turn his back on someone who is not trustworthy, but he just wouldn't listen!"
Seeing that Master Liu was angry, Ning Fengyi quickly tried to smooth things over: "Uncle, please calm down. There were reasons for what happened back then. Please don't bring it up again."
Upon hearing Master Liu mention his master, Bai Yan's eyes welled up with tears, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Just wait, one day I will personally catch that traitor and bring his head to my master's grave to atone for his sins, I promise!"
Just as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from afar.
On the path in front of the pavilion, an old man with a pointed mouth, monkey-like face, and shifty eyes was leading a young girl whose face was veiled by a light veil.
"No need to wait any longer, you'll have your chance to catch that bastard soon," the old man shouted.
"Greetings, Emperor of the Tide!" Bai Yan and Ning Fengyi bowed deeply upon seeing the old man.
Master Liu's expression immediately changed. Completely disregarding his image, he rushed forward and kicked the Tide Emperor, cursing as he did so.
"Old Zhao, how dare you come to my Tian Ce Palace! I'll kick you to death, you old geezer!"
The Tide Emperor remained unperturbed, calmly dodging the kick with his hands behind his back, and said with a grin:
"Old dog Liu, your cultivation hasn't improved in the past thirty years, but your skills in being a rogue have certainly improved."
"If you've got the guts, suppress your cultivation level and let's have a proper fight based solely on our physical strength!"
"You're thousands of years old, can't you have any shame? Is it fun for a Mahayana cultivator like me to fight a Void Returning cultivator like you in front of a bunch of juniors?"
"I don't care, just seeing you makes me angry. Get over here and let me beat you up."
Bai Yan and Ning Fengyi were clearly used to it and didn't seem surprised at all. They didn't even try to stop the two clowns from fighting.
However, it was the girl who came with the Tide Emperor that attracted their attention.
The girl wore a veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes, but her eyes were filled with indifference.
A wide, light blue robe covered her petite figure, giving her an aura of aloofness and coldness.
The young girl glanced at the two still fighting for a while, then her light and melodious voice slowly drifted out:
"This is the first time I've ever seen two old men whose combined age is over four thousand years old fighting. It's really quite a rare sight."
The two stopped what they were doing upon hearing this, and Master Liu asked Emperor Tide with a displeased expression:
"Old Zhao, where did you pick up this little girl from? An old cow eating young grass, you have no shame!"
"Bullshit! Try saying another one of those nonsenses! This is my granddaughter, Zhao Qianxue!"
The Tide Emperor shoved Master Liu aside in annoyance, and while tidying his appearance, he cursed:
"Old dog Liu, stop acting like a mad dog every time you see me! I'm not here to fight you, I'm here to talk business!"
"Serious business? Besides tinkering with your crappy ship and formations in your dilapidated sect all day long, what serious business do you have?"
"I don't have time to argue with you. The Four-Sealing Formation is in trouble, and the section I'm in charge of is about to collapse!"
Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Liu was startled. He rushed forward, grabbed the Tide Emperor by the collar, pulled him close, and roared:
"What the hell are you doing? It was perfectly fine when I went to check on it last time, don't joke about this with me!"
"I'm not kidding! It's the hidden danger left by the fifth generation sect leader that has erupted. Also, that old bastard Nangong Que has also appeared in the sea."
Ning Fengyi and Bai Yan became incredibly excited upon hearing the name "Nangong Que," and rushed forward simultaneously to ask:
Where is Nangong Que?
Seeing the two of them so excited, Master Liu couldn't help but sigh.
He released the Tide Emperor, pulled Ning Fengyi and Bai Yan back, and said in a deep voice, "You two calm down."
He then looked at the Tide Emperor and said with an extremely solemn expression, "Let's talk somewhere else."
