Chapter 1039: Seeing Mei Suyao Again (2/2)

She answered his inquiry calmly: “I understand your skepticism. The truth is that I am indeed here for my senior’s ascension.”

“And then what?” He tasted the tea once more while freely looking at her.

“Young Noble must have met Vedas Vajra.” She was extremely smart. At birth, she received a soulbone of the immortal level and was capable of seeing through everything directly to their essence. This was amplified after she truly understood the fragrant dao.

“Mmm…” Li Qiye hummed in agreement. He waited for her to continue.

She went on: “I won’t hide it from Young Noble. The real reason for me coming to the plateau is for the ascension. Obtaining the treasure from Vedas Vajra was a spur of the moment idea.”

“What happens next?” He smiled leisurely.

She replied: “I thought that you would surely come to the plateau, and if that was the case, the Lesser Deva World would open for sure, signaling the appearance of the Nihility Temple. After being guided by my ancestor, I learned the language of this lesser world, so I went to the Vajra to trade for his treasure.”

“Kind of interesting.” Li Qiye laughed: “It seems like an old geezer from your school has finally appeared. What else do you know besides this?”

Mei Suyao looked at him and spoke: “The truth is that I want to know more about you. Your battle at Godwar Mountain made you famous, so my school’s ancestor immediately ran here.”

“Among the old geezers in your school, I know very well that only one of them knows the runes from the Godwar Mountain.”

He narrowed his eyes to stare at her: “What did he say to you?”

“Not much.” She gently shook her head: “I know that the ancestor knows something about you. I am very curious as well, especially about your identity. Unfortunately, the ancestor didn’t want to reveal it.”

“Is that right?” Li Qiye smiled as if he was at home.

She met his gaze in a straightforward and natural manner and spoke without guilt: “I wouldn’t dare to hide it from you.”

After looking into the deepest depths of her eyes for a long time, Li Qiye finally nodded satisfyingly.

“Your school’s old geezer is still not senile. I suppose this wiseness will last forever.” Li Qiye withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly: “Girl, since I am here, I don’t need to say more.”

Mei Suyao took out an old box and slowly handed it over to him: “One half of the treasure is here, please take a look.”

Li Qiye opened it and glanced at the item inside before nodding his head: “Where is the other half?”

“It was taken back by the ancestor.” Mei Suyao calmly answered: “My Immortal Bone still has difficulty understanding this thing, so I asked the ancestor to bring back one half so that the other ancestors could take a look. Maybe they will be able to see through its mysticisms.”

“I have consulted Vedas Vajra as well about this issue. He didn’t know either, the only thing he said was that the item is extremely unfathomable.” Mei Suyao told the truth.

“If Vedas Vajra could comprehend it, then he wouldn’t be Vedas Vajra.” Li Qiye said dismissively: “This thing is connected to an ancient mystery. People who don’t know about the ancient legends would never be able to understand the item’s secrets.”

She asked curiously: “Young Noble is referring to the era before the Desolate Era? The mythical Legendary Era?”

Coming from the Eternal River School, a sect with three emperors, she was an erudite person with few peers. However, she didn’t know if the item came from the Legendary Era.

“It may be even older.” Li Qiye only smiled without saying much.

Mei Suyao was dazed for a moment. In the minds of common cultivators, the Desolate Era was the oldest. She knew about the existence of the Legendary Era that came before it, but what kind of era was even older?

Li Qiye put away the box and said: “I want the whole thing. Half of it is tantamount to trash.”

“Don’t worry, Young Noble. I have sent a message to the ancestors and told the school to immediately bring it to you without delay.” She was very open and agreed right away.

Li Qiye looked at her and chuckled: “Girl, if I didn’t know that you have understood the fragrant dao’s essence, I wouldn’t believe it either. Such a great change in a short period of time, you can even call it a metamorphosis! Before coming, I expected you to make bargains. It seems like I have underestimated you.”
