Chapter 1015: Why Would It Change?
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
The lotus was all black, but glowing with mysterious and elegant lights. When it appeared, a light scent spread away. The wind was blowing strong, yet it didn’t blow away the beautiful fragrance.
It just stayed in the air for a long time.
“Regeneration Ink Lotus!” Li Qingzhou and Ye Liangchen were both stunned when they looked at the lotus in Ye Xiao’s hand.
They were both full of excitement and… greediness.
Money always touched one’s heart. In fact, the lotus touched more at this moment!
Ye Liangchen was jealous and he wished he could have it from Ye Xiao. Li Qingzhou was vicious and ill-disposed!
In his eyes, there was intent to snatch the lotus and kill Ye Xiao!
That was a top quality Regeneration Ink Lotus. The leaves’ petals were going to turn lighter. This lotus was already beyond the top quality. It was soon going to change into Regeneration Jade Lotus!
In other words, it was a super quality Regeneration Ink Lotus. It was precious enough to solve Ye Clan’s crisis. However, if it belonged to Li Clan, it was also enough to completely destroy Ye Clan!
Li Qingzhou started to breathe heavily.
The two guards standing behind him were ready to start a fight for the lotus.
“Wait.” Li Qingzhou stopped his guards. He looked at Ye Xiao and actually smiled. “I guess you did enter the third layer of Heaven Treasure Mountain. This lotus proves it well. I believe it.”
Ye Liangchen stepped forward and wanted to talk. However, Li Qingzhou’s two guards stopped him and started to operate their martial art to create qi suppression.
Ye Liangchen was below Dream Origin Stage. Under the suppression of two level three Dream Origin Stage cultivators, he couldn’t even say a word out loud.
“You believed it? You just believed it?” Ye Xiao sneered and looked at Li Qingzhou, “Maybe I should say thank you for such a respectful reaction, shouldn’t I?”
Li Qingzhou looked vicious. He said, “I should certainly respect you, as you have such a lotus in your hand. Besides, even though you are Ye, you are not the same as these people. What stays between you and me is merely a meaningless conflict. Am I right? We can just introduce ourselves again and make friends with each other. I don’t think you will turn my sincerity down, will you, Brother Ye?”
Ye Xiao slowly nodded. “That’s true. Making friends is my favorite, especially friends with kindness.”
Li Qingzhou was spirited. “Li Clan will definitely show you our great kindness with respect. From now on, you are our honorable guest forever!”
Ye Xiao seemed smiling but he wasn’t. “However, I never think kindness can only be expressed by words. What do I get if I become your honorable guest?”
Li Qingzhou smiled. “As long as you can give us enough Regeneration Ink Lotus, you will have whatever you want! In this district, Li Clan can assure you anything!”
Ye Xiao turned over his hand again to put that lotus away. He shook his head and looked upset. “Well, it is all about Regeneration Ink lotus, isn’t it? I found a way in and collected a few of this lotus. After I left, I wanted to enter it again. However, I can’t find the way. It was gone.”
Li Qingzhou’s eyes lit up. He said, “That is normal. Brother Ye, you are new to this place. What happened to you is the nature of this mountain. There will be paths appearing but also disappearing after nine days. The way into the third layer will always disappear nine days after it appears.”
Ye Xiao shrugged and said, “I see. I guess it is all decided by heavens. I think I can’t help you with your Regeneration Ink Lotus. Even if I said yes, you shouldn’t trust me, should you?”
Li Qingzhou half closed his eyes, which were filled with maliciousness. “That is not a problem. You are a stranger. It is reasonable that you don’t know much about this mountain. We, Li Clan, has been living around this mountain for a thousand years. We know every path on this mountain. No matter where they go, we can always find them.”
“In other words, as long as you can enter it, we will guide you on the path!” he spoke slowly.
Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Are you sure? If you have a path that connects to the third layer, I can get into it. It isn’t difficult to simply get inside!”
The two of them looked into each other’s eyes and then laughed at the same time.
They were both having their secret plans in the heart. However, they wouldn’t tell anybody else.
Ye Liangchen, whom Ye Xiao claimed association with, was totally ignored.
“Before we make the agreement, I have one thing to ask for. I have shown you the lotus as my sincerity. I think you should show your sincerity too,” Ye Xiao said.
“Sure. Brother Ye, just tell me what do you want. There are few things that Li Clan can’t do,” Li Qingzhou said.
“I want a share of your medical materials! I will collect Regeneration Ink Lotus for you. You can have all the lotus. I won’t take any. But I will take half of all the other materials.” Ye Xiao said, “If you don’t agree, I guess we will have to quit the association.”
He was being decisive.
“Absolutely!” Li Qingzhou was being straightforward. “That is exactly what we should do.”
They laughed together again at the same time. It seemed to be a good cooperation.
…
On the other side, the three brothers who had been suppressed by the two superior cultivators only felt freaked out.
[This… Brother Ye… was on our side at the beginning… Why does he end up to be Li Clan’s ally?]
[The world… changes too fast.]
It was not just fast. It was also cruel. It was truly more than cruel!
The three young brothers felt hopeless about such an outcome… They knew Ye Xiao could enter the third layer of that mountain… They knew he had some Regeneration Ink Lotus…
They thought Ye Xiao was their savior that would eventually bring a bright light to their future. They thought there was going to be a miracle that could bring their clan to life! However, the savior became another enemy. The bright light was gone. Hope became desperation.
Li Clan had such a powerful support. Ye Clan was going to end. Ye Clan was going to collapse soon!
The three brothers all felt despair.
[Are we going to end up Li Qingzhou’s servants?]
…
When the three of them left that place, they still couldn’t understand why things would end up like that.
Why would it change like that?
They didn’t understand why the man who was also Ye changed his mind so fast. He said people who were named Ye were families after all. He should be a loyal person.
