Chapter 682: The Scheming Woman (2/2)

This woman is really impressive. She managed to escape from the Ji Clan through some unknown means. Now, she probably knew that the map to the Wood Elemental Bead wasn't of much use to her; so she gifted it to Dong Shanglie and used this opportunity to take Dong Shanglie as her master. Not only that, she even made use of her master's, Dong Shanglie's, mouth to spread news of her, allowing her to find a talented and powerful dao companion.

A woman that seemed to be able to make use of everything was the most terrifying. Now, even an Immortal Reverent was being used by her. Her shy and bashful appearance should probably be one of her schemes.

”This sister is really pretty,” Yan Yuerong, who was by Mo Wuji's side, could not help but praise.

She was speaking the truth. Ji Yue seemed to be lowering her head shyly, but this seemed to eccentuate her beauty.

A usual oval face would give a snobbish impression, but Ji Yue’s oval face had some sort of unspoken beauty. It felt like she was shrouded in mist.

Many immortals have already started jumping in their spots. If Dong Shanglie wasn’t going to talk about the method to ask for Ji Yue’s hand, then one of these people might already step forward.

”This meeting will come to an end. The reason why we are in such a hurry is because we cannot delay for too long. That Fan Lin's speed is really fast. Before he leaves Yong Ying Immortal Domain, we need to spread his cultivation aura around. No matter what, we cannot allow Fan Lin to escape. At the same time, we will not delay the geniuses from heading towards Sharphorn Immortal Ruins.” When Dong Shanglie announced the conclusion of the meeting, many people were disappointed as he didn't pick a dao companion for Ji Yue here.

It was exactly as he said, this meeting had started hastily, and it ended hastily. His final sentence of not delaying everyone's opportunity to go to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins also left many in confusion.

The immortals within the hall stood up. In reality, few of them actually had the mood to continue staying here. The news regarding the Wood Elemental Bead was secondary. What's important now are the Water Elemental Bead and the ten primal water crystals.

Just obtaining any one of those treasures would propel them to unimaginable heights. Moreover, the one who took these treasures away was merely a Grand Zhi Immortal. Who wouldn't be tempted?

”Fairy Ji Yue, I am Sea Canopy Immortal City's Zuo Yixian. I wonder if fairy is willing to show me some face to follow me and have a seat at Fixed Plains Resthouse?” A warm voice called out not far from Mo Wuji.

When Mo Wuji lifted his head, he saw the medium built Zuo Yixian and he found it pretty laughable.

Zuo Yixian was Sea Canopy Immortal City's young castellan; his father was the castellan. This fella's character was not bad: he was warm and cordial, and he wasn't proud nor hot tempered. Mo Wuji was actually appreciated him. Not only that, Zuo Yixian was even a Seven Star Genius. The only unfortunate thing was that this fella's appearance was average. He was in no way handsome.

Mo Wuji didn't expect that this fella would actually have his eyes on Ji Yue.

”Ji Yue naturally wouldn't reject Senior Brother Zuo’s invitation…” Ji Yue blushed and said in a soft voice, ”It's just that, just that…”

She stammered and mumbled for a long time, but she didn't say anything concrete.

Mo Wuji was sure that this woman knew of Zuo Yixian's origins. Otherwise, she would directly reject him. Why would she go through such antics?

”Fairy Ji Yue doesn't need to be worried. I'm only inviting you to drink some tea and take a look at the scenery around Wind Plains. That's all.” Zuo Yixian clearly didn't know how to court girls; his words were so crude.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yue lowered her head and responded with an 'En’.

Zuo Yixian rejoiced, ”Then Fairy Ji Yue, there’s no better time than the present. Why don't we go to Fixed Plains Resthouse now? Anyways, searching for the Water Elemental Bead and the primal water crystals is not something achievable by people like us.”

”En…” Ji Yue responded once more, only at a softer volume.

Mo Wuji shook his head speechlessly. He really wanted to advise Zuo Yixian to not get involved with such a woman. However, there were too many experts here; he was worried that he might accidentally cause trouble for himself.

”Senior Brother Zuo, I heard that you've gone to the Broken World's Broken Ruins?” Ji Yue suddenly asked.

Zuo Yixian jolted, but he promptly nodded, ”Yes, I have been to the Broken Ruins before.”

”Then do you know about Yan Ye? I heard that he had also gone to the Broken Ruins…” Ji Yue asked in a slightly anxious tone.

Mo Wuji's heart pounded. Why was this woman still asking about him? He specially slowed down his footsteps in an attempt to listen in to what this woman was going to say.
