970 Grope Ones Way By Throwing Stones (1/2)
A magnificent ship moored in the port. It was decorated with gold foil and jewels. Exotic flowers and plants grew all over the ship. The night was lit up like daytime.
Only by description one might relate to New Money's act. But those who witnessed the ship could feel its intense beauty. It made them want to embrace their life again with affection and appreciate its unique beauty forever.
People who saw the ship told their families and friends the news and soon it went around the whole island.
This was the most well-known Night Emperor ship, full of beauty and hope!
If any lucky one was invited to the ship, he would then have a chance to start a new life.
Among all the Dharmakayas, the Night Emperor was the most popular one among Jianghu travelers. He was unrestrained and enjoyed helping people. His name equaled adventure.
Many people walked near the port and waited on their chances. However, since the day of the ship's arrival, nobody ever left the ship. Nobody saw the Night Emperor, but only pretty attendants. It was like a ship of evil spirits, the kind that suddenly appeared after missing for many years.
People could not understand this situation. They did not know what this Night Emperor who did whatever he wanted was going to do this time. Was it going to be a good thing, or a bad thing for them?
It felt like a dark cloud floating above the island with thunder. It did not start to rain and people could only guess what was happening.
This is the Island of Ten Magnificence, Yin Master's place. The Night Emperor suddenly came here, probably with a bad intention. People had different assumptions as if they saw something with their own eyes.
Their assumptions were reasonable since Dharmakayas usually have their own sphere of influence. Even for the Five Immortals of the Heavenly Way, if one entered another's place without giving notice beforehand was provocative. For example, if Mister Luda arrived at the door of the Xi Jian Pavilion and sat down there with legs crossed for a long time, Su Wuming would not consider him coming just for fun.
”Yin Master is one of the Five Immortals of the Heavenly Way and belongs to the Heavenly Way Alliance, the Night Emperor shall not take this risk to be his enemy. But the Night Emperor likes to surprise others. He might feel too painful in the deep sorrow of his departure from home. Why not then choose a tough enemy and have a good fight to distract himself…”
Yin Feilong thought the same. He stood by with great respect by waterside pavilion and waited on Yin Master Xu Bei's instruction.
A dark green pond lied outside of the pavilion, inside which black lotus bloomed one by one with a scent of extreme Yin and Yang.
The pond water rippled and a face appeared, Xu Bei opened his mouth after a long time of consideration, ”How do you think?”
Yin Feilong answered with honesty, ”The Night Emperor has always been unrestrained. But his sudden arrival at our island was a very strange act. I felt like he was probing.”
”Could it be that he knew it already?”
Xu Bei said in a low voice, ”Huo Lishang is a madman with a clear mind. He is able to do something crazy, to burn himself for a moment of beauty. If I go there and ask him directly, things could turn out badly. Why not you and Yanran help me to figure out what Huo Lishang really wants.”
The Heavenly Way Alliance was far more powerful than the Night Emperor. Any Five Immortal of the Heavenly Way would not go directly to the enemy and risk their own life and reputation.
He then continued, ”Never tell that to anyone. But I'm not sure if the ambassador might already have told Huo Lishang something. If not that the time was not right, I would have doubted whether Huo Lishang was the top of the secret organization Fairy World and was sent to investigate the death of Qu Baimei.”
Lord Ling Bao had the power of a Dharmakaya and defeated one of the three demons. Five Immortals had paid great attention to him. They doubted whether Lord Ling Bao was one of the Four Strange People, Three Demons.
The only one they did not doubt was the Night Emperor. He was not even born when Lord Ling Bao's name became well-known in Jiang Hu.
Yin Feilong said, ”Could it be Heavenly Lord Yuanshi in Qu Baimei's memory? He never fought in front of anyone but he might very well be the Night Emperor…”
”It's possible. Anyways, try to see if you can find out something,” Xu Bei said.
Yin Feilong saluted with both hands lifted in front. And then he asked with a worried look, ”But is it necessary for Yanran to go there as well? The Night Emperor is a playboy and if he fell for Yanran stuck to her, Yanran would suffer a lot.”
Hu Yanran, Yin Master's disciple, was now in charge of public relations affairs of the island and was well-known for her beauty. But since she already achieved the guru level, many strong martial players only dared to look at her but never to approach her, including Yin Feilong.
Yin Master said in a cold voice, ”If Yanran wanted to be my successor in the future, she needs to practice a lot. I do not think she will be the right person if she dared not to even meet with someone like Huo Lishang.”
