Chapter 285 (2/2)
What had she been doing when Yundong was out there facing the Heavenly Thunder? HmmMost likely she was on her way back to the corn-door after another day of wandering Dongwu CityOr worst, she was busy dishi+ng out verbal abuse to that annoying stalker
SohWhen she was out wandering the city, she had watched the sky every opportunity she gotSo how co's divine punishment? Was she asleep when it arrived? ProbablyShe usually just collapsed into bad after returning to the corn-door
”I was in pretty bad shape after I survivedI think I went straight to bed” Yundong paused as though he was trying to recall so, I received a paper crane from Zi YuanShe's the one who informed me about the Great Six's assault on the Fox Zen School” There was a pause”She told , and then askedimmediately to rescue you”
Su Chan turned her head around to stare at her beloved over her shoulder
Yundong sh he had already anticipated her disbelief”She was on our side from the start”
”W- Was she there?” Su Chan blurted out”Was she…?” Su Chan winced”Was she part of the assault?”
”She was asked to be part of the assaultBut she wasn't part of the assaultNot really” Yundong held her gaze for a h”
Su Chan'son the Great Six, wasn't she? She was secretly feeding you inforhtShe even ordered Ruan Hongling to look all over the mountain for you”
”I wasn't even in thechuckled”None of us knew that at the time”
”But…” Su Chan shot him a quizzical look”How did you knohere to find ether, and so that looked like sadness and fearThe look was gone before Su Chan couldcleared his throat, and the next thing she knew, he was sain”Let me finish the story first”
”Oh”
”The assault had already begun when I got there” Yundong sighed”It was terrible, Chan'erThere were hundreds of the the gravity of his words sink inShe didn't feel much fondness for the Fox Zen School, but it was still quite sobering to learn about the destruction of her place of origin
”It was Yan Fang” Yundong had uttered those words softly, but the effect they had on Su Chan was profound”She's the ?”
Yundong nodded”Have you met her before?”
Su Chan shook her head”I know her by nayi School's Eventide Reaper”
Yundong's lips pulled into a tight line”So I've been told”
”But I thought… Mo Ahshi+…” So she'd been right all alongThe Mo Ahshi+ she saw the other day was an i paused as though he was trying to gauge her reaction”According to Zi Yuan, Yan Fang visited the Fox Zen School nine years ago to look for your master”
Su Chan noddedShe already knew about thisShe overheard the brief exchange between Master and Zi Yuan zhenren the night Yundong killed Hé ShaoSo this treachery had been going on for so long
”Shesaid
And then hid in plain sight by posing as Mo Ahshi+ for over nine years? Eluding even Grandmaster Liu Ye? What an ih” Yundong shook his head”Not even Zi Yuan knows the details”
”I think she killed the real Mo Ahshi+ and then took over Mo Ahshi+'s body with her Yin Spirit” That was the only explanation Su Chan could think of
”And you would be correct” Yundong paused”Well, except for one thingShe did it with her Yang Spirit, not Yin Spirit”
Or Yang SpiritWhatever
”So Yan Fang currently has Master,” Su Chan snarled”She's the one holding Master hostage”
”Yes” Yundong's voice was firer in the darkWe already know that Yan Fang is the one behind the whole schemeShe, on the other hand, probably has no idea that we know” Yundong smirked”We also have two allies who knew the enemy very well”
Su Chan nodded
Zi Yuan jiějie and Ruan Hongling would kno to track down Yan FangAfter that, they would all go and rescue Master
Please hang on, Master…
Su Chan exhaled lengthily, letting her anger fade”I guess the school is gone then?” There was no way the Fox Zen School could survive an assault of that scale without Master there to defend it
”NopeThe Fox Zen School is fine”
Su Chan turned around in Yundong's lap until they were facing each otherShe was hyperaware of the fact that she was currently straddling Yundong's lap, of how intimate the position was, but she didn't care
”But they had an ar out her disbelief
Yundong sed
”Y- You fought off an entire ar was Yundong now?
”I had help” Yundong sAnd the Fan of Seven Treasures” Yundong paused in thought”Technically, I didn't take on the whole arht a few of the Tianhé”
”Y- You defeated the Jade Zhenren?!” Su Chan openly gaped at her beloved”The wielder of the Sword of Seven Stars?”
Yundong shrugged”Zi Yuan had so flickered inside Yundong's eyesShe knew then that there was so her
Su Chan cleared her throat”Were there… Were there many casualties? On our side, Ihad a worried look in his eyes”But not manyAs far as I can tell anyway”
”Who?” Su Chan held her breath”Who died?”
The worried look in Yundong's eyes was replaced by a look of sadnessHis hands rose until they rested on top of her shoulders
”Grandmaster Liu YeAnd your shībó Ye Yu”
Su Chan's heart sankGrandave her the paper crane, was gone
”There's so's tonewith intensity
”W- What is it, beloved?” Su Chan sta me”
”I'm the new Head of the Fox Zen School”
