Chapter 238: Cen Shuyin's Dilemma

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Cen Shuyin jolted; she did not expect this Special Envoy Xia to ask her who her dao companion was. This was her private matter, who was he to ask such a question?

”If you're unwilling to answer, I would think that your words were just to stall me. Don't tell me that my appearance is too bad and not worth Junior Shuyin's eyes?” The smile on Xia Mu's face disappeared and his tone also turned cold.

Rage slowly brewed within his heart, he had never received such a treatment before. He was a proud child of the Star King Mountain and was an existence respected by all on Zhen Mo Continent. Lost Continent, this sort of trashy place, actually rejected him two times in a row. Unless they thought that this special envoy was a herbivore who didn't dare to kill?

Cen Shuyin did not stand far from him, and could naturally feel Xia Mu's rich killing intent. She was forlorn. Ever since she entered the Heaven Seeking Palace and became the Sword Lake Master, Shen Kongjian’s disciple, no one dared to covet for her looks. It was also because of this, that she was an outstanding existence, not only in the Heaven Seeking Palace, but in the entire Five Great Empires.

But now, Special Envoy Xia was clearly threatening her, but there was nothing she could do. Cen Shuyin's despondence was because of her lamentation towards her change in fate. At the same time, she was lamenting the disappearance of her Master Shen Kongjian in the alien battlefield.

”Ha ha…” Feng Zhenqiu chuckled, clasped his fists and said, ”Special Envoy Xia, don't be hasty to get angry. I understand this child, Shuyin. Her skin is thin [1], and if not for Special Envoy Xia’s question, she would not even mention the matter of her dao companion. Indeed, not many people know about her dao companion, and I happen to be one of them.”

Cen Shuyin stared at Feng Zhenqiu in astonishment; she did not have a dao companion, those words were only meant to fool Xia Mu.

Before Xia Mu could speak, Feng Zhenqiu continued, ”Actually, Special Envoy Xia also knows this person's name.”

”I know? Who?” Xia Mu was stunned as he turned towards Feng Zhenqiu. In actuality, when Cen Shuyin did not reveal the name of her dao companion, he suspected that Cen Shuyin was merely trying to stall him. But now, Feng Zhenqiu proactively stood forward to talk about Cen Shuyin's dao companion, so he was naturally shocked.

”He is a rogue cultivator, his alias is Rogue Cultivator 2705. He is extremely secretive in his movement and actions and even Cen Shuyin wouldn't know where her dao companion is.” Feng Zhenqiu chuckled.

Rogue Cultivator 2705 only revealed himself once and disappeared without a trace. The Heaven Seeking Palace and Great Evolution Sect had tried searching for the said man, but had never been able to find him. Using Rogue Cultivator 2705 was the most suitable method to stall Xia Mu.

The Heaven Seeking Palace and Great Evolution Sect were, after all, the two strongest sects on the Lost Continent. Even they weren't able to determine Rogue Cultivator 2705’s whereabouts, so Feng Zhenqiu believed that this Xia Mu would definitely be unable to do so.

Cen Shuyin's heart sunk, and she was not the least bit happy. Even though she was thankful for Feng Zhenqiu's help, she was not willing to drag another down. She had not even met this Rogue Cultivator 2705 before. If it was possible, she would rather Dean Feng to not have uttered those words. Because the moment Xia Mu finds Rogue Cultivator 2705, he definitely would not live past an incense's time.

She was also clear of Feng Zhenqiu's intentions; he believed that Xia Mu definitely wouldn't be able to find this Rogue Cultivator 2705. But who could be definite of such things?

This caused Cen Shuyin's heart to be filled with guilt and discomfort. She had always cultivated with a pure heart, but while Feng Zhenqiu's words saved her, they also left a scar on her heart.

If Rogue Cultivator 2705 was really killed because of her, her lifetime's pursuit of the greater dao would be ruined. Even if he turned out fine, this scar would still affect this pursuit. Her personality did not allow such a thing, and her dao could not take such guilt.

It was because of this dao heart that when she exchanged a skill from an outer disciple, she would try her best to offer what she could.

Dean Feng had said such words but she could not refute them. If she refuted them, Xia Mu could very well eliminate Dean Feng.

If she could turn back time, she would rather say that she did not want a dao companion. Saying that she already had one would only implicate others.

Xia Mu furrowed his brows and thought for awhile. He suddenly said, ”I recall it now, isn't he number one on the Hundred Sect Alliance's Contribution Point Board?”

Feng Zhenqiu hurriedly said, ”That's it. Even though his talents are exceptional, he does not like to be reined in by a sect. That's why he chose to be a rogue cultivator. With his sort of talent, many big sects don't catch his eye. His standards for women are naturally higher as well.”

Feng Zhenqiu was trying to imply that Rogue Cultivator 2705 and the gorgeous Cen Shuyin were a compatible match.

Xia Mu regained his calm, looked towards Cen Shuyin and said, ”You go and find that Rogue Cultivator 2705. This sort of talent would go to waste on this continent.”

Cen Shuyin went silent without a word. She couldn't explain that Feng Zhenqiu's words were wrong, nor could she acknowledge that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was her dao companion.

”Shuyin, you can go down first. If you can contact him, then help extend the special envoy's invitation. But of course, going to the Zhen Mo Continent is entirely up to him.” Feng Zhenqiu hurriedly interjected for Cen Shuyin to leave. If this carried on, this Xia Mu might get enraged and start a slaughter.
