Chapter 554: Chapter 229: Plans Disrupted_2

“How is that like us…”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it…”
The bald man clearly harbored a deep resentment.
The other Moon Demon Sect cultivator, seeing the bald man like this, quickly spoke up, asking:
“Brother Bao…”
“Are you still dissatisfied with the arrangement the Sect Hierarch has given us?”
The bald man was filled with righteous indignation, and then he spoke:
“We helped him find that fugitive, and it’s fine that we didn’t get any reward, but he even wants us to run back and forth, continue to come back to do this crappy task.”
“You say, it’s fine to monitor Wei Zhengqing, but to even have us watch a little girl.”
“What does he take us for? Nannies?”
At this, the other person nodded repeatedly, saying:
“Yes…”
“Didn’t the Sect Hierarch also say to try to find a way to lure that girl out and then kidnap her back…”
As he said this, the Moon Demon Sect cultivator paused for a moment then continued:
“Brother Bao…”
“Wasn’t there news before, saying that the reason the Holy Maiden fled was because of a sacred object.”
“Do you think that treasure might be on that little girl?”
The bald man thought for a moment after hearing this, then said:
“I know about the Holy Maiden’s defection, but the Sect Hierarch never said why, only that she left the sect for a man…”
“However, it’s hard to say with the Sect Hierarch…”
“If you put it that way, it’s indeed possible that there’s some precious treasure on Wei Zhengqing.”
“As for what you mentioned, being on that girl…”
“Don’t joke around, if it really were a treasure, would you entrust it to a little girl?”
After hearing the bald man’s analysis, the Moon Demon Sect disciple nodded in agreement, saying:
“That makes sense…”
“Indeed, if there is any precious treasure, it would definitely be safest kept with oneself.”
At this point, the bald man sighed and then spoke:
“Alas…”
“Forget it…”
“Ever since the Holy Maiden left the sect, the Sect Hierarch has become increasingly unpredictable. If we don’t handle this matter well, our fate won’t be good.”
The other Moon Demon Sect cultivator nodded repeatedly.
“Yeah…”
“We can’t afford to anger the Sect Hierarch now, or we’ll certainly be dead.”
Finally, the bald man took one last look at the Flying Boat, then said to the other Moon Demon Sect cultivator:
“Let’s go, don’t look anymore…”
“We still need to hurry and complete the mission.”
“Alright…”
The other Moon Demon Sect cultivator spoke.
After speaking, the two left the area and flew towards Bihai City.
When the two had left, Lin Jing directly said to Ye Yun:
“Alright…”
“Let’s go!”
Ye Yun nodded, then piloting the Flying Boat, they disappeared in a wisp of smoke.
This left the other cultivators who were there for the spectacle staring blankly.
A moment later, those cultivators, feeling like they’d been fooled, all left cursing and swearing as they rode their Flying Swords…
After leaving, and having flown a good distance, only when they reached a deserted sea area, did Ye Yun speak again:
“Master…”
“What were they talking about just now? Lin Jue and Sister Si Yue won’t be in any trouble, will they?”
Ye Yun, although he had discovered those two people, had not extended his Divine Sense to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Ye Yun’s cultivation was not much different from theirs, so it could easily be exposed, and thus this task could only be done by Lin Jing.
Lin Jing then spoke to Ye Yun:
“We guessed right…”
“Those two were sent to monitor.”
“So it’s just as we thought…” Ye Yun frowned as he spoke.
Lin Jing nodded and said:
“It seems our plan also needs to be expedited…”
