Chapter 336: Chapter 150: Rainy Night with a Knife but No Umbrella! Two-star Holy Daughter! (6K)_3
The black-robed figure, suspecting nothing, sighed and said, "With Manzhi’s talent, if she devoted herself to cultivation, she might have hope of reaching Fifth Grade. But now, trapped in the red-light district, dealing with that bunch of filthy men every day, it’s hard on her."
The Holy Daughter, however, didn’t find it difficult at all. In fact, she quite enjoyed it...
Ye Henshui muttered to himself and then spoke up, "Master, the Holy Daughter has already reached the Fifth Grade."
"Hmm?"
The black-robed figure was slightly taken aback, puzzled, "So quickly? Didn’t she just report staying at Sixth Rank a while ago?"
Ye Henshui explained, "Because Chen Mo gave her an Enlightenment Golden Core..."
?
The black-robed figure was startled.
She was well aware of how precious the Enlightenment Golden Core was.
It contained the essence of the Dao and could significantly enhance the chance of breaking through realms. If given to a Fourth-Level Peak expert, it might even allow a glimpse into the realm of a Grandmaster!
If such an item were to circulate in the Jianghu, it would be enough to incite a fight among top-tier sects, yet now it was "wasted" on a Sixth-rank Mage...
The black-robed figure mused, "Is Chen Mo very close to Manzhi?"
Ye Henshui nodded, "Quite close."
From the looks of it earlier, the distance was already in the negatives...
The black-robed figure pondered for a moment.
This time, she came in person because of Chen Mo.
Ever since the destruction of the Gu God Sect’s branch, she had been investigating in the surrounding counties and finally gathered some information.
On the night when Jade Toad Mountain was split in two, a fierce battle erupted in Linyang County, turning the entire county government into ruins, and the County Magistrate disappeared without a trace...
According to the Sky Scale Guard, who came to clean up afterward, the Gu God Sect attempted a blood sacrifice of thousands to refine the Gu Poison Worms, but Mr. Chen from the Fire Department uncovered their conspiracy, executing the culprits on the spot.
A feat of such magnitude must have been orchestrated by Jiang Qiyuan.
And Jiang Qiyuan was indeed a Third Rank Grandmaster, definitely not someone a Fifth Grade Martial Artist could deal with.
With a flick of a finger, the sect was annihilated, leaving no survivors among thousands. Such familiar methods reminded her of one person—
Yu Youhan!
"Originally, I wanted Manzhi to get close to Chen Mo to leverage the Chen Family’s power, but who would have thought Chen Mo would grow so rapidly!"
"Not yet twenty, already a Deputy Thousand Households of the Sky Scale Guard and the new Heavenly Element Martial Champion, stepping on the head of the Wuwan Temple’s Buddha’s son to become the Qingyun Leaderboard!"
"Such a Heavenly Pride, no wonder Yu Youhan values him so much."
The black-robed figure’s thoughts raced, and she said, "Last time we failed to poison Chen Mo, I thought their relationship would be completely severed. But who would have thought Manzhi’s skills were so significant, that she controlled him completely..."
Ye Henshui thought his master got it wrong; it should be the Holy Daughter being controlled by Chen Mo...
"Unfortunately, with the Gu God Sect’s Southern District completely wiped out, we can’t get the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect for the time being. If we could completely control Chen Mo, the odds against Yu Youhan would be much higher." The black-robed figure shook her head.
Ye Henshui was shocked, "The Gu God Sect’s Southern District was wiped out?"
The black-robed figure nodded, "It happened just days ago, and it’s related to Chen Mo."
Ye Henshui froze.
A while ago, two protectors from the Gu God Sect’s Southern District came to cause trouble, and within a month, the entire Southern District was wiped out. How could such a coincidence exist?
Thinking about how Chen Mo disappeared for several days, could it be that he went to the Southern Border specifically for the Holy Daughter?
"No wonder the Holy Daughter is so infatuated with him, to the point of disregarding her life..."
"Wait a minute..."
Ye Henshui reacted, frowning, "Master, you still want to poison Chen Mo?"
The black-robed figure replied, "What else?"
"..."
Ye Henshui pondered for a moment and said, "Disciple thinks that Chen Mo isn’t a bad person. He seems genuinely sincere to the Holy Daughter... Is this really necessary?"
"Heh, what do you know?" The black-robed figure sneered, "Collaborating with that demoness Yu Youhan, could he be anything good? Being kind to Manzhi now is probably just out of lust. Men are fickle; how much is sincerity worth? There will eventually be a day of weariness..."
Ye Henshui’s expression was somewhat bewildered.
The Moon Brilliance Sect and Yu Youhan indeed had deep grudges, but what did that have to do with Chen Mo?
Isn’t allying with an evil sect and targeting innocents turning from victim to perpetrator? Moreover, the so-called bad person once saved her life...
What truly constitutes good and evil? Who is right and who is wrong?
But since master said so, she must have her reasons. Master couldn’t be wrong... could she?
"Those trash from the Gu God Sect deserved to die. If they’re destroyed, then so be it. Without the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, we’ll have to think of another way. For now, let Manzhi keep him stable..."
"Henshui... Henshui?"
"Hmm? Master, what did you say?"
Ye Henshui snapped back to reality.
The black-robed figure asked in puzzlement, "What’s wrong with you? You seem a bit distracted tonight."
Ye Henshui hesitated for a moment and then said, "Master, you said earlier that men are poisonous, is that true?"
The black-robed figure nodded, saying seriously, "Of course, it’s true. The more attractive a man is, the more potent the poison. Once you’re trapped, it’s eternal damnation. At best, it affects cultivation; at worst, it shatters the Dao Heart, and losing half one’s life would be no surprise!"
"..."
Ye Henshui lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Henshui, are you okay?"
The black-robed figure stepped forward and took off her hood.
On that snow-white face, there was a look of panic, with tears swirling in her pink eyes. She pursed her lips and threw herself into the black-robed figure’s arms, crying out loud.
"Boohoo~, master, it seems like this disciple is poisoned~"
"?"
After careful questioning from the black-robed figure, Ye Henshui choked up, describing the situation just now.
However, she didn’t mention Chen Mo and Gu Manzhi, only saying she saw a man and a woman fighting together...
