Chapter 250: Secret Scheme (2/2)
Curious, Celestial QingYun replied “What is it? What happened?”
Daoist HuoLong replied “Sister, what you do not know is, the bell which this darn fatty has, emitted a distinct ring when he was sparring with ShuiYue. It allowed hundreds of bystanders to comprehend the heavenly laws, with seven of them advancing a rank, including a JinDan cultivator!”
“Aiyah, such a matter happened?” Celestial QingYun exclaimed, “At that time, you should have guessed that there was something special about this bell! Why did you let the matter go like that?”
“Of course I did not just casually brush that incident off. At that point of time, I did not hesitate to risk angering the old sect master and used the Five Elements Essence Swords to exchange for that black iron bell. After receiving it, it was just an empty sh.e.l.l.” replied Daoist HuoLong gloomily.
“You fool. I am certain that this fatso sold you an empty sh.e.l.l and took the valuable treasure inside.” Celestial QingYun lamented.
“Haiz! Only now did I realised it, but I was not certain then. Who had known that the darn fatty was so cunning! What is most hateful was that eventually, that darn fatty whipped out another large copper bell which was also extraordinary. At that point, my suspicion was roused. Who knew if that darn fatty was luring me to buy into another of his tricks or not? I had just lost a whole set of Five Elements Essence Swords back then. Once bitten, twice shy. So, I gave it up like that! Thinking about it now, that fatso certainly did not have enough time to make another subst.i.tute. If I had bought it then, the treasure would have been mine! d.a.m.n IT! This darn fatty sure played me good.” Daoist HuoLong uttered hatefully.
After realising the truth, Daoist HuoLong slapped his thighs regretfully.
Celestial QingYun burst out laughing as she thought to herself, ‘You are already over a hundred years old. To think that you are played by a mere child like a puppet. What shall I do with you?”
Of course, Celestial QingYun knew her brother was filled with regret, and would not want to mock him any further. Thus, she comforted, “ Forget it, it is already water under the bridge. What matters now is that we still have a chance.”
“What chance?! This darn fatty has grown up already! Even Old Devil Feng could not defeat him, I obviously would not be able to take care of him casually. Coupled with a good foundation he has acquired at the Eastern Ocean, I can only treat him like a child and pamper him. Fortunately for my foresight, I have placed Zi Rong by his side, and now I can see him as part of my faction! I could say this would be a blessing in disguise then!”
After hearing Daoist HuoLong’s reply, Celestial QingYun let out two coughs.
Daoist HuoLong was astute. Once a situation arises, he swiftly sensed something is amiss and responded, “Sister, the favour you would like me to help you with is related to SongZhong?”
Celestial QingYun nodded with a face of helplessness and gloominess as she replied, “Speaking of this matter, it really is a disgrace. This Old Devil Feng is utterly idiotic. If he is humiliated by SongZhong and wants to take care of him, then go right ahead! But, he was too full of himself and ended up falling for SongZhong’s tricks. Before taking care of SongZhong, he had told him all of our secrets!”
“What does these secrets include?” Daoist HuoLong enquired with a nervous expression.
“Including my relations.h.i.+p with Old Devil Feng, and how QianWu plotted against SongZhong’s parents. Celestial QingYun took a glance at Daoist HuoLong and stopped herself.
Daoist HuoLong stomped his foot and said, “Sister, since we have already landed at this state, just spill all the beans then.”
Celestial QingYun let out a helpless laugh and said “Old Devil Feng has told SongZhong that you definitely knew about QianWu’s plot against his parents and helped QianWu behind the scenes to cover this up. This Old Devil Feng is simply an utter idiot.”
“He isn’t an idiot, he’s a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Daoist HuoLong jumped in anger, “I should not have listened to you and let this son of a b.i.t.c.h off! Look at me now, he completely sold me out! When SongZhong comes back and reveals my act of covering up QianWu’s plot against his parents, I am f**ked!. I don’t even need to be sect master anymore, I can just wait for my impending doom from the sect’s Enforcement Hall.” exclaimed Daoist HuoLong
At this point in time, Daoist HuoLong was driven mad with anger.
Celestial QingYun also knew she was in the wrong. Previously, Daoist HuoLong was considering whether to let Old Devil Feng go but only decided to let him go under the Celestial QingYun’s pleas. But the current situation made her fee; really sorrowful, because the person she saved sold her brother out.
But at this current state, there is no point crying over spilt milk. Helpless, Celestial QingYun could only apologise to her brother and continue to think of a solution. As for Old Devil Feng, Celestial QingYun would not just let it off just like that and guaranteed Daoist HuoLong that justice will be served.
Daoist HuoLong stomped his foot with deep anger to the point that it left a hole on the floor. To which he replied his sister, “Sister, you should know that I do not call the shots in the Mystical Sky Yard. Mister First and Mister Second are waiting for me to commit a mistake to oust me out. And then there’s senior sister Mei, if she finds out about Qian Wu’s matter, she would skin me alive.”
Celestial QingYun replied, “Surely it would not be that drastic right? Didn’t she go into seclusion, ignoring all worldly affairs?”
“That is true. But senior sister Mei has a disciple named ShuiJing who is cultivating on the outside. What is important is that, ShuiJing and that darn fatty Song Zhong has a close relations.h.i.+p and they are dual cultivation companions. If that darn fatty finds Shui Jing, my position will be in the gutter and not even you would be able to save me.” Daoist HuoLong replied with a fl.u.s.tered look.
“Celestial MeiHua! She is undoubtedly the strongest of the three celestials in this world. Even I, am incomparable to her.” furrowing her brows as she replied Daoist HuoLong
“That is right! What can we do at this point in time?!” as Daoist HuoLong paced around in his room in circles.
“Don’t worry, the reason I am finding you is to settle this problem. To tell you the truth, I have already got a plan, but it is just whether you would dare to act upon it.” said Celestial QingYun.
