Chapter 97: She Saved Your Life (2/2)

Yan Qianyin laughed faintly, “Because I personally retrieved this sword hilt from the Hanging Sword Cliff. Your hole even helped me.”

With that, Yan Qianyin looked at Yan'Er, “She saved your life.”

“Ahh…” Mo Wuji looked at Yan Qianyin in confusion. However, he immediately made sense of the situation. When he opened the hilt to retrieve the silk, he left behind traces. Yan Qianyin was not an idiot, she could definitely discover those traces on the hilt. Furthermore, Mo Wuji moved to the Lotus Sword Summit and there was a newly dug hole at the Hanging Sword Cliff, she could easily guess that he was the one who removed what was in the sword hilt.

If he did not give the silk scrolls up for Yan'Er, and when Yan Qianyin discovers that the Fallen Tune Sword's secret had already been removed, she would not treat him so nicely. That was why Yan Qianyin said that Yan'Er saved Mo Wuji's life.

“Senior apprentice sister Yan, if I did not pass you the scrolls and you discovered it, you would kill me?” Mo Wuji secretly heaved a sigh of relief and he casually asked. However, he had interacted with Yan Qianyin, and he did not believe she would kill him because of this. From the looks of it, she would at the very most force him to hand the thing over.

Yan Qianyin shook her head and explained, “I wouldn't have killed you, but the sect head would.”

“The sect head knows about the secret?” Mo Wuji asked on shock. If the sect head knows about it, Mo Wuji might still be executed even though he had already handed the Revolving Star Passage Technique over.

Yan Qianyin replied, “If the sect head didn't know about the Fallen Tune Sword's secret, do you think he would have allowed me to take the sword hilt? If you didn't hand over the skill, I would definitely have guessed that you were the one who took it. When that happens, I would have been very disappointed with you, and I wouldn't have helped you hide the truth.

Even if I didn't say anything, the sect head would have doubts over why I didn't take out the Fallen Tune Sword's secret. He would definitely send people to investigate the location of the sword hilt and see the hole you dug. By then, don't you think he'll start questioning me? I just need to confess that I wasn't the one who dug it, and that it was already there when I came to retrieve the sword hilt. What do you think will happen next?”

Cold sweat trickled down Mo Wuji's back; Yan Qianyin was completely right. If he lied to Yan Qianyin and he did not offer the Revolving Star Passage Technique, why would Yan Qianyin cover up for him? Even if Yan Qianyin didn't say anything about what happened at the Hanging Sword Cliff or the Formless Blade Mountain, the sect head would still have been able to found links to him. After all, Mo Wuji moved to the Lotus Sword Summit and the hole at the Hanging Sword Cliff were dug at around the same time. That was too close to be considered a coincidence. So Yan Qianyin was completely right to have said that Yan'Er saved his life.

Yan Qianyin kept the silk scrolls, “Junior apprentice brother Mo, you saved my life before and now you are being so honest with me. I, Yan Qianyin, am not an ungrateful person. I can't give you this Revolving Star Passage Technique as the sect head also wants to see it. But if you meet any problems, I will try to help you. Also, it's very possible that this Revolving Star Passage Technique is not a skill. It doesn't matter if you have already memorised the contents, but this matter cannot be leaked.”

“If this is not a skill, then what is it?” Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. He really did memorise the contents on the two silk scrolls.

Yan Qianyin answered, “It could even be a sacred art. However, my cultivation is too low and I am not very well-read, so I'm not too sure…”

“The guy surnamed Mo, do you think you're very incredible now that you're a guest pill refiner? This senior only needs one slap to squash you…” A hoarse and loud voice outside the house interrupted Yan Qianyin's sentence. It was followed by a raging tornado which sped towards Mo Wuji's house.

Yan Qianyin, who was talking to Mo Wuji, took a step forward, and also sent a wave out.

“Hong!” The clash of the two forces directly destroyed the exterior of Mo Wuji's house. Mo Wuji hurried out to see Yan Qianyin facing a ferocious looking man. The space between the two of them seemed to have been plowed, looking extremely messy and disorderly.
