C43 (1/2)
The 50,000-strong army led by He Wulan was defeated by the Mo family army in less than half a month. In less than two months, the Mo family had occupied the entire outer region. The strength of its troops shook the entire world.
During these two months, Xie Feiyan left Mount Hua. Before leaving, she only bid farewell to Liu Yiyi, but said nothing about where she wanted to go. Nangong Ping also left Hua Shan when the Mo family sent out their troops. Liang Rufeng did not fight with Ye Mo Han for the second time, because Mo Xi Yan had been stopping him from doing so. Zhang Qingwu sent people into the Huashan secret tunnel and drew up a complete map. Ye Qinghan had been secretly investigating Zhang Yiming's death, but to no avail. He couldn't help but feel a bit dejected. Could Zhang Qingwu really have nothing to do with Zhang Yiming's death?
In these two months, the only thing that made Ye Mo Han feel slightly gratified was that Zhang Qingwu agreed to set up a monument for Ye Sheng beside Lin Mo Xiao's grave. Ye Shuihan also set up a tombstone for the mother and son of the monkey on Songjie Peak.
Middle forward, noon. The sun directly shone on the glazed roof tiles. The golden light was dazzling, blinding people's eyes. When Chen Shaochong came to the center to look for Ye Mo Han, Ye Mo Han was with Liu Yiyi. Seeing Chen Shaochong's arrival, Liu Yiyi tactfully left.
”My bed is cold. Don't you feel that Miss Liu looks very familiar?” Looking at Liu Yi Yi who was walking away, Chen Shao Chong spoke with a profound tone.
Ye Mo's heart trembled, and he was even more sure that Liu Yiyi was the woman from six years ago. Why couldn't he remember her face in a few short years? And why didn't Liu Yiyi recognize him?
”What do you know about Liu Yiyi and me?”
Ye Chanhan had a hunch that Chen Shaochong was also from the Jade Pavilion. But after his grandfather took Liu Yiyi away, how did she enter the Jade Pavilion? Not long after that, his grandfather died of an illness. Was his grandfather's death an illusion? Ye Mo Han Yu stopped thinking about it, but the questions on his mind became more and more uncontrollable. It was only after his grandfather's death that he began to enter this chaotic world to seek revenge for his father.
Chen Shaochong sighed, and slowly said, ”I just found out about this secret, so I came here to tell you.”
”What secret?” Ye Mo Han had a premonition that there was something he didn't want to hear the most.
”Last night, someone suddenly left a letter for me.” Chen Shaochong took out a leather envelope and handed it over to Ye Mo Han.
Although the envelope was made of leather, it was extremely exquisite, decorated with jewelry. In particular, there were two small emeralds inlaid on the seal. The edges of the emerald were carved with dragons and phoenixes, beautiful beyond compare. Ye Mo Han could not be more familiar with this pattern; it was undoubtedly the Jade Pavilion.
Ye Mo Han read the letter, his mind in a mess. The general meaning of the book was: Ye Mo Han and Liu Yi Yi had already been in love with each other for six years. After that night, Ye Mo's grandfather fed Liu Yi Yi a plant that could make people lose their memories — the kale grass. Liu Yiyi, who had eaten the cabbage, joined the Jade Pavilion and became an assassin. Liu Yiyi didn't mention how she joined the Jade Pavilion.
”Where is the messenger?” After Ye Mo had confirmed that Liu Yiyi was the girl from six years ago, he felt mixed emotions and found it hard to express himself.
”Dead.” ”Chen Shaochong also appeared to be very surprised.” The person who delivered the letter must have consumed some sort of poison. The instant I received the letter, he turned into dried up bones. ”
”Then this envelope is the antidote.” Ye Wen Han sniffed the envelope and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance.
Chen Shaochong nodded, ”This is the first time I've seen this kind of poison. Just by looking at its strange methods, it seems that the Jade Pavilion is able to surpass the Thousand Poison Sect.”
The Thousand Poisons Sect was the world's number one Poison Sect, the current Sect Leader, Eastern Rui. Her sect used all sorts of poisons, and the vicious and insidious nature of the poison made people shudder when they heard of it. It was rumored that when Dongfang Rui first took over the Sect Leader, she fought with eight of the strongest poison experts in the sect and killed eight of them in one fell swoop. After that, Dong Fang Rui appeared and disappeared in the martial arts world. Everywhere she went, there were almost no plants growing. Therefore, the Thousand Poisons Sect in recent years was a shame to those in the martial arts world.
Chen Shaochong continued, ”Moreover, it's said that the Lignum Calceum Grass has been extinct for eight hundred years. Where did your grandfather get it from for Liu Yiyi to eat?”
Ye Yihan didn't know that Liu Yiyi's entrance into the Jade Pavilion was something that had been planned beforehand, and Liu Yiyi had been arranged by someone else when she met him. Then this person, no matter who it was, seemed to be related to his grandfather.
