Chapter 94 System Emergency Mission

"Ahem!"

The teacup in Su Ye's hand jerked violently, and a few drops of scalding tea splashed onto the back of his hand.

He didn't even notice, feeling only a chill running down his back.

These were two gazes that felt almost tangible.

One came from his Revered Master, Leng Yueli, who sat upright and appeared to be looking straight ahead.

The other came from the Second Junior Sister before him, Jiang Wanyin, who was smiling like a flower but had eyes like a little fox.

"Second Junior Sister, you can eat anything, but you can't just say anything."

Su Ye calmly set down his teacup, flicked a trace of spiritual power from his fingertips, and evaporated the water stains on the back of his hand.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Wanyin with a face full of righteous indignation.

His deep eyes were filled with a look of "disappointed expectations."

"Revered Master was merely helping me stabilize my Realm and imparting Supreme Cultivation Technique."

"What on earth are you thinking about all day long?"

"If you used this energy on your Cultivate, your 'Nine Revolutions Departing Fire Art' would have likely broken through to the fourth level long ago."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyin was not the least bit annoyed.

She extended a finger as slender as jade, gently twirling a lock of red hair beside her ear, her eyes filled with seduction.

Her body leaned forward slightly.

The snowy white smoothness at her collar was faintly visible, possessing a heart-stopping curve.

"Is that so?"

Her red lips parted slightly, breathing out like an orchid.

"But... Senior Brother."

"Revered Master is usually very fond of cleanliness, and her body only carries the cold scent of winter plum blossoms."

"But right now..."

Jiang Wanyin's delicate nose twitched, and with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, she leaned close to Su Ye's collar and sniffed.

"Why is Revered Master's body filled with that domineering Pure Yang Qi of yours, Senior Brother?"

"And..."

"Why is there a long hair of Revered Master's on Senior Brother's collar?"

As she spoke, she lightly pinched with two fingers.

A strand of black hair, emitting a faint, lingering fragrance, appeared at her fingertips.

Su Ye's pupils constricted.

Damn it! I was careless!

When cleaning the battlefield just now, I was only focused on clearing the traces and forgot about such small details!

Is this Second Junior Sister a bloodhound or what?

Just as Su Ye's brain was working frantically, thinking about how to gloss over this.

A cold, bone-chilling Divine Thought transmission suddenly exploded in his mind.

"Rebellious Disciple!"

"If you let your Junior Sister see any clues..."

"You will go soak in the cold pool behind Purple Bamboo Peak tonight!"

Su Ye shivered all over.

He caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that Leng Yueli was still sitting upright in the main seat, her expression cold and aloof.

It was as if the woman who had just threatened him wasn't her at all.

But the jade hand clutching the armrest, with knuckles slightly white, betrayed her inner panic at this moment.

"Ahem!"

Su Ye kept a straight face and snatched the hair from Jiang Wanyin's hand.

The movement was fluid and completely natural.

"What's so strange about this?"

"Just now, that demon brat Li Tianxing set up the Seven Killings Soul Locking Formation, and the Yin Qi was too heavy."

"In order to protect me, Revered Master briefly used her spiritual power to cleanse my Physical Body."

"It's perfectly normal to be stained with a little bit of her Aura."

Saying this, Su Ye's face darkened, putting on the dignity of a Senior Brother.

"It's you, Wanyin."

"With the Grand Competition at hand, instead of thinking about how to win glory for Purple Bamboo Peak, you are here gossiping about Revered Master and Senior Brother."

"Do you think that now that Senior Brother has secured the position of first holy son, I don't need your help anymore?"

This accusation was quite heavy.

If it were anyone else, they would likely be terrified by now.

But who is Jiang Wanyin?

She is someone who fears that the world won't be chaotic enough.

Her beautiful eyes darted around, scanning back and forth between Su Ye and Leng Yueli.

The smile at the corner of her mouth grew even wider.

"Alright, alright, Senior Brother, don't be angry."

"I'm just concerned about you."

Jiang Wanyin pouted coquettishly, took the opportunity to hold Su Ye's arm, and nearly pressed her entire body against him.

"Since Senior Brother has received Revered Master's 'true teachings'..."

"Then after we return to the Peak tonight, you must also 'give me some extra attention'."

"I also want to experience... that magical Cultivation Technique that makes one radiant."

She deliberately emphasized the words "true teachings" and "give me some extra attention."

Carrying an indescribable sense of ambiguity.

Su Ye only felt an astonishingly soft sensation coming from his arm.

I have to say.

Although this Second Junior Sister's cultivation is not as good as Revered Master's, her naturally seductive figure and flirtatious methods...

She is simply a tormenting enchantress!

"Hmph!"

Just then.

A cold snort rang out abruptly.

The surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees instantly.

Leng Yueli had turned her head at some point, and those cold, clear eyes were like two ice blades, staring fixedly at Jiang Wanyin's arm holding Su Ye's.

"In public, clinging to each other, what is the meaning of this!"

"Jiang Wanyin, sit properly!"

"If you dare to act up again, I'll punish you by copying the 'Heart Cleansing Mantra' three thousand times when we get back!"

Jiang Wanyin's delicate body trembled, she quickly let go of Su Ye, and obediently sat up straight.

But there was a glimmer of cunning in those eyes.

Such a big reaction?

It seems...

The secrets between these two are even deeper than I imagined.

Hehe.

Caught you red-handed.

...

On the high platform.

As the disturbance seemed to subside, the Grand Competition continued.

But everyone's attention was clearly no longer on the duels between the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Disciples.

Countless gazes gathered, intentionally or unintentionally, on Su Ye.

Envy, jealousy, awe, resentment...

Various emotions intertwined.

first holy son!

The weight of these four words was too heavy.

Heavy enough to crush anyone with an unsteady heart.

"I disagree!"

Just then.

A rough voice broke the dull atmosphere.

On the east side of the martial arts arena, among a group of Disciples wearing red robes, a burly man stood up.

This person had a face full of flabby flesh, and his body radiated a scorching heat wave, clearly having cultivated some kind of domineering fire-type Cultivation Technique.

"That is... the True Disciple of Blazing Sun Peak, Zhao Tiezhu!"

"I heard he is already at the Peak of the ninth level of Nascent Soul, just one step away from entering the Spirit Severing Realm!"

"What is he standing up for at this time? Is he courting death?"

Whispers came from the crowd.

Zhao Tiezhu strode to the center of the arena, holding a giant axe the size of a door panel in his hand.

Even facing Su Ye's terrifying battle record, there was a hint of unyielding spirit in his eyes.

He didn't look at Su Ye, but instead bowed directly to the Sect Leader Ye Wudao on the high platform.

"Sect Leader!"

"Disciple Zhao Tiezhu is not questioning Senior Brother Su's strength!"

"Just now, seeing Senior Brother Su cripple Li Tianxing, I was boiling with excitement and am completely convinced!"

When this was said, everyone was stunned.

Since you are convinced, why jump out?

Zhao Tiezhu straightened his back, his voice loud:

"What I disagree with is this 'half of the Holy Land's resources being allocated'!"

"Primordial Origin Holy Land is the common Holy Land for thousands of Disciples!"

"It is also the common home for our 108 Peaks!"

"These resources are limited to begin with, if half is allocated to Senior Brother Su..."

"Then how will we, the Disciples of other Peaks, Cultivate in the future?!"

"Could it be that you want us to drink the northwest wind?!"

His words were crude but made sense.

It instantly resonated with countless Disciples present.

That's right!

Su Ye is very strong, and we acknowledge you as the first holy son.

But if you take away half the resources, isn't that cutting our flesh?

"Senior Brother Zhao is right!"

"This is too biased!"

"If we don't have Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones, how can we Breakthrough?"

For a time, the martial arts arena was filled with indignation.

The dissatisfaction that had been suppressed by Su Ye's Aura was now like dry firewood being ignited, instantly burning fiercely.

Liu Canghai sat in the Elder's seat, watching this scene with a sinister look.

A gloating sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

Although he couldn't take action directly.

But using the emotions of these Disciples to create public pressure, he was a Revered Master at this trick.

Su Ye, oh Su Ye.

So what if your strength is strong?

Can you shut the mouths of all these people?

Can you kill all the Disciples here?

As long as you provoke public anger, you won't be able to sit firmly in this position of first holy son!

Facing the tide of protests from the stage.

Ye Wudao frowned slightly.

He was about to speak to suppress it.

But he saw a white figure slowly stand up.

It was Su Ye.

He didn't use any spiritual power, nor did he release any Aura.

He just stood there calmly, the playful smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.

He walked slowly to the edge of the high platform, looking down at Zhao Tiezhu, and then at those indignant Disciples.

"Are you done?"

Su Ye's voice was very soft.

But with the support of spiritual power, it clearly entered everyone's ears.

The scene instantly went quiet.

"Zhao Tiezhu, right?"

Su Ye looked at the burly man and suddenly smiled.

"You just said that resources are limited, and you're afraid that if I take too much, you won't have any to use?"

"Exactly!" Zhao Tiezhu said, stiffening his neck.

"Then do you think the resources of Primordial Origin Holy Land fell from the sky?"

Su Ye asked back.

"This..." Zhao Tiezhu was stunned.

"Let me tell you!"

Su Ye suddenly stepped forward, his voice rising sharply, like a thunderclap.

"Every Spirit Stone, every Spirit Medicine of Primordial Origin Holy Land!"

"They were all snatched back by the sages of past generations with blood and life from Forbidden Grounds, from Secret Realms, and from demons!"

"They are fought for by the strong!"

"They are not obtained by crying poor here or by being given handouts through equal distribution!"

His words were like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely into everyone's heart.

"You say I took half the resources?"

Su Ye sneered, his gaze becoming incomparably sharp.

"Then let me ask you."

"If a powerful enemy invades, or even a terrifying existence at the Supreme Realm or Emperor Realm descends upon Primordial Origin Holy Land!"

"Can you block it?!"

"Among the ten thousand Disciples present, who can block it?!"

The whole audience was silent.

Everyone lowered their heads in shame.

"But I can!"

Su Ye pointed at his chest, a heroic spirit soaring into the sky.

"Since I, Su Ye, have taken these resources, I can shoulder this responsibility!"

"If the sky falls, I, Su Ye, will be the first to hold it up!"

"If a powerful enemy invades, I, Su Ye, will be the first to charge out and kill!"

"This is called—equivalent exchange!"

Boom!

These words were deafening.

Countless Disciples looked up at the young man standing on the high platform, dressed in white, full of spirit.

The resentment in their eyes gradually dissipated.

Replaced by an indescribable fanaticism.

That's right.

This is the cultivation world.

The strong enjoy resources and also bear the responsibility of protecting the weak.

This is the rule!

"Besides."

Su Ye changed the subject, a look of disdain appearing on his face.

"Who said I wanted to take the resources from the Sect's treasury?"

"That is for mediocre people to use."

He waved his hand, pointing to the east of Primordial Origin Holy Land, the continuous mountain range shrouded in mist.

That is—the Primordial Demon Abyss!

One of the ten great Forbidden Grounds of the Eastern Desolation!

It is also the most dangerous place near Primordial Origin Holy Land; even Elders dare not easily venture deep into it.

"Real resources are all in the hands of the enemy, in those Forbidden Grounds!"

"Since I, Su Ye, have become the first holy son."

"Three months later!"

"I will personally lead a team to level the outer perimeter of the Primordial Demon Abyss!"

When the time comes, I will only take one-tenth of the resources obtained, and the rest...

will be distributed to all the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters present!

Do you dare to come with me and take it?!

After a deathly silence.

Boom!!!

The entire martial arts arena erupted.

Flatten the Demon Abyss! Flatten the Demon Abyss!

Swear to follow Senior Brother Su to the death!

Senior Brother Su is mighty!

I want to sign up! Count me in!

All dissatisfaction and all jealousy vanished into thin air at this moment.

What replaced it was absolute worship of the strong, and infinite yearning for the future.

Even Zhao Tiezhu was flushed red at this moment, trembling with excitement.

He suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed heavily to Su Ye:

Senior Brother Su has a heart as vast as the ocean! His spirit is peerless!

Just now, I, Zhao, used the heart of a petty person to measure the heart of a gentleman!

Three months from now, I, Zhao, am willing to be the vanguard. Even if I die in battle, I will not frown!

On the high platform.

Ye Wudao watched this scene, his eyes shining with brilliance.

Good lad...

He turns his hands to create clouds and rain.

Not only did he resolve the conflict, but he also used the momentum to win over people's hearts.

With this Heart-Nature and these methods, he is simply born to be the Sect Leader!

He turned his head to look at Leng Yueli beside him and said with a smile:

Junior Sister Leng, you have taken in a good Disciple.

Leng Yueli looked at the figure who remained calm amidst the cheers of the crowd, and a hint of imperceptible pride and tenderness flashed in her cold eyes.

This... is the man I have set my eyes on.

However...

Thinking of Su Ye's words just now, 'If the sky falls, I will hold it up,' she couldn't help but feel a hint of sorrow and worry in her heart.

Fool.

Who asked you to hold it up?

As long as Revered Master is still here for one day,

I will not allow anyone to hurt you in the slightest.

...

The Grand Competition finally concluded.

Su Ye won the championship without any suspense and sat firmly on the throne of the first holy son with an invincible posture.

The sun set in the west.

Dyeing the sea of clouds of the Primordial Origin Holy Land a golden red.

Purple Bamboo Peak.

This Peak, usually quiet and elegant, appeared exceptionally lively today.

Lin Qingzhu and Qin Yurou were like two happy little sparrows, chirping endlessly around Su Ye.

Senior Brother, you were so handsome just now!

Especially that line, 'Do you dare to come with me and take it?' It was simply incredibly cool!

Qin Yurou hugged Su Ye's arm and shook it, her face full of worship.

Alright, alright, stop shaking, Senior Brother's bones are about to fall apart.

Su Ye smiled and rubbed the little Junior Sister's head.

But his gaze drifted involuntarily toward the distance.

Deep in the bamboo forest, an exquisite pavilion appeared faintly.

That was Revered Master's living quarters—Cold Moon Palace.

At this moment, the pavilion was lit up.

That warm glow appeared exceptionally alluring in the night.

I wonder how Revered Master is doing now...

Su Ye thought to himself.

Just now at the Grand Competition, there were too many people, so to avoid suspicion, the two of them didn't even talk much.

Now that they were back at Purple Bamboo Peak...

That restless heart began to stir again.

Especially thinking about the beautiful scenery in the lounge just now, and the huge benefits brought by the Dragon and Phoenix Harmonious Chanting Art.

Su Ye felt a fire burning in his body.

He had tasted the forbidden fruit!

Senior Brother?

At this moment, a faint voice sounded in his ear.

Giving Su Ye a fright.

He saw Jiang Wanyin had approached him at some point, holding a plate of peeled Spirit Medicine fruits.

She looked at Su Ye with seductive eyes, smiling half-heartedly as she said:

What are you staring at Revered Master's living quarters for?

Has your Soul been hooked away?

Su Ye's expression stiffened, then he coughed to cover it up:

What are you talking about.

I was looking at the Mountain Protecting Grand Array over there because it seemed to have some fluctuations, and I was thinking about whether to go and repair it.

Oh?

Jiang Wanyin drew out the end of her sentence, clearly not believing a word of it.

She brought a crystal-clear grape to Su Ye's mouth, and her body leaned in.

Then... Senior Brother, do you want to 'repair' your Junior Sister's Dao Heart tonight while you're at it?

I also feel... that my Dao Heart has been a bit unstable lately, and I urgently need Senior Brother's Pure Yang Qi to soothe it.

As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest.

That astonishing curve shone with an ivory luster under the moonlight.

Su Ye felt his nose getting hot.

This vixen!

She is simply playing with fire!

If it weren't for the fact that he had to go to Revered Master's place to 'report on work' tonight, he would have definitely taken this girl right here!

Ahem!

Wanyin, cultivation requires a gradual approach; one cannot be too hasty.

Tonight, Revered Master... ahem, Senior Brother, I do have important matters.

Another day! Another day for sure!

After saying this, Su Ye fled as if his life depended on it, turning into a stream of light and heading straight for his own Immortal Cave.

Hmph, coward.

Jiang Wanyin looked at Su Ye's fleeing back, curling her lips.

Afterwards, she turned her head to look in the direction of the Cold Moon Palace.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Important matters?

I think... you're going to do something bad, right?

Revered Master, oh Revered Master...

No matter how well you keep this secret, you can't block that 'stinking smell of love'.

It seems I also need to find an opportunity to properly 'interrogate' Senior Brother.

...

The night was deep and quiet.

Purple Bamboo Peak was silent.

Only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves remained.

A dark shadow, like a ghost, avoided all the mountain guarding Restrictions and appeared silently outside the Cold Moon Palace.

It was none other than Su Ye.

Relying on the Divine-Grade movement technique 'Kunpeng Extreme Speed' rewarded by the System, plus his understanding of the Purple Bamboo Peak Formation.

Sneaking in here was as easy as pie.

Knock, knock.

He gently knocked on the door.

Who is it?

Leng Yueli's iconic cold voice came from inside the room.

Carrying a hint of vigilance.

Revered Master, it's me.

Su Ye said in a low voice.

Disciple has come... to bring you a midnight snack.

The room was silent for a moment.

Immediately after.

Creak—

The door opened without any wind.

Su Ye chuckled, flashed inside, closed the door behind him, and set up a barrier.

The movement was so skilled it was heartbreaking.

Inside the room, warm fragrance drifted.

No lights were on, only a few night-luminescent pearls emitted a soft glow.

Leng Yueli was wearing a loose moon-white silk nightgown, sitting on the soft couch by the window.

Her long hair was draped casually over her shoulders, lacking some of the usual majesty, but possessing more of the laziness and softness of a woman at home.

At this moment, she was using the moonlight, holding an ancient book, appearing to be reading.

But if one looked closely, one would find that the book was actually upside down.

Hmph.

Seeing Su Ye enter, Leng Yueli snorted softly and threw the book aside.

Trying her best to keep a straight face, she said:

Sneaking around in the middle of the night.

If your Junior Sisters saw this, what would it look like?

Su Ye cheekily approached and sat down directly on the other side of the soft couch.

Revered Master, that is where you are wrong.

Disciple is concerned about Revered Master's health.

Just after the Grand Competition ended, Disciple saw that Revered Master's face was a bit flushed, and I was afraid that some of the previous cold poison remained.

I specially rushed over to help Revered Master consolidate the treatment with the Dragon and Phoenix Harmonious Chanting Art.

Hearing the words 'Dragon and Phoenix Harmonious Chanting Art'.

Leng Yueli's beautiful face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

She remembered the craziness in the lounge during the day.

It was not only physical pleasure but also a trembling of the Soul.

That feeling of having tasted the forbidden fruit, actually... she also missed it.

But the restraint of being a Revered Master made her subconsciously want to refuse.

Non... Nonsense!

Cultivating twice a day, can your body handle it?

And...

Her beautiful eyes turned, looking at Su Ye with a half-smile.

Didn't that girl Wanyin pester you to 'repair her Dao Heart' just now?

Why didn't you go accompany her?

Yo?

This tone?

Why does it sound so sour?

Su Ye was delighted.

It seems this cold and aloof Revered Master has really fallen into a vinegar jar.

He didn't speak, but reached out to wrap his arms around Leng Yueli's slender and supple waist.

Applying a little force, he pulled her into his arms.

Revered Master.

Su Ye leaned into her ear, his warm breath spraying onto her sensitive earlobe.

Of the three thousand weak waters, the Disciple only takes one scoop to drink.

Wanyin is just a Junior Sister, you... are the apple of my eye.

And...

His palm began to wander restlessly.

Disciple has the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, with Qi and blood like a dragon.

Not to mention twice a day, even ten times a day, I would still be full of vigor!

If you don't believe me...

Shall we verify it right now?

Leng Yueli's delicate body went soft, and her last line of defense completely collapsed.

She struggled symbolically twice, then obediently leaned into Su Ye's arms.

Her hands wrapped around his neck, her beautiful eyes dazed, her breath like orchids:

You wretch...

If we are discovered... I will kill you...

And then kill myself...

Although she was saying harsh words, the red lips she offered were sweeter than honey.

Su Ye said to himself, 'Pardon me.'

He lowered his head and kissed her.

Just as the two were preparing for an in-depth 'academic exchange'.

Ding!

A cold, mechanical sound rang out in Su Ye's mind, extremely inappropriately.

Interrupting his actions.

[Detected that the host has successfully unlocked the 'first holy son' side quest!]

[Triggered emergency mission: Crisis of the Holy Land!]

[Mission Description: Deep in the Primordial Demon Abyss, the Seal has loosened, and a Demon Lord who has slept for ten thousand years is about to awaken. At this moment, a Demon Sect spy has infiltrated the Primordial Origin Holy Land, intending to destroy the Mountain Protecting Grand Array.]

[Mission Objective: Find the Demon Sect spy hiding among the high-ranking members of the Holy Land (0/1) and stop them from destroying the Mountain Protecting Grand Array!]

[Mission Reward: emperor grade spirit artifact—immortal slaying flying dagger! villain points +50000!]

[Failure Penalty: Primordial Origin Holy Land destroyed, Leng Yueli dies!]

Su Ye's movements suddenly stiffened.

The amorous look in his eyes instantly faded, replaced by an unprecedented gravity and killing intent.

Demon Sect spy?

Hiding among the high-ranking members?

And wants to destroy the Mountain Protecting Grand Array?

This is trying to steal my crystal!

What's wrong?

Noticing the stiffness of Su Ye's body, Leng Yueli opened her eyes with some confusion.

In those spring-water-like eyes, the lingering desire had not yet dissipated.

Yeer?

Su Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He lowered his head and kissed Leng Yueli gently on the forehead.

His voice was low and hoarse:

Revered Master.

It seems that tonight... our 'report' needs to change its content.

Hmm?

Leng Yueli was stunned, 'What do you mean?'

Cold light flickered in Su Ye's eyes, and a bloodthirsty sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Someone doesn't want us to live a peaceful life.

Since that's the case...

Then Disciple will first go kill someone, and then come back to entertain Revered Master!
