Chapter 1105: Information about Ye Xiao!
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
Jun Yinglian understood what happened right away. Those people must have found her trace around this area. That was why they would put on a show like that.
If she lost control and set her hands to save that man, she would fall into their trap.
They were capable enough to impersonate Xiao Monarch so well. It meant they could also do a great job in setting up the traps. They must have been prepared for the trap carefully, and it would be almost impossible for Jun Yinglian to get away once she fell in.
She could imagine if she tried to save that fake Xiao Monarch, he would turn over to attack her instead. He was the key of the trap. At that moment, she would be unable to defend herself from him!
Luckily, she didn’t show up and get involved!
The heaven’s will never was unreasonable. It always blessed good people!
Honestly, Jun Yinglian did think about going out to help that man.
In fact, when she saw that man for the first time—when she saw that man’s face—she panicked.
[Ye Xiao… It he still alive?]
When she heard their conversation, they indicated the man was precisely Ye Xiao, the man she missed so badly!
She wanted to rush over and have a closer look at him and make sure he was the man, but she stopped herself.
In the whole Qing-Yun Realm, if Jun Yinglian said she was the second who knew Ye Xiao best, nobody else could claim first. Han Bingxue or Li Wuliang were both worse than her in this aspect.
Jun Yinglian understood that if that man was the real Xiao Monarch, he would never show his embarrassed look to her, as he was such an arrogant man.
Besides, Ye Xiao never said he accepted her.
He was such an androcentric. If a young lady saved him when he was in an utterly uncomfortable situation, he would avoid seeing her ever again in his life!
Because of that, she hesitated and didn’t help him in the first place because it seemed that ‘Ye Xiao’ wasn’t indeed in deadly danger. Other than that, she had another reason, which seemed to be unusual.
When she saw the fake Xiao Monarch was in a life and death moment in the first fight, she was going to show up…
However, at that moment, she realized she wasn’t distraught about him.
She wasn’t worried at all!
Even though it seemed to be a drastic fight, and that man seemed to get killed at any second, she just didn’t feel worried.
[Why?]
[How is it possible?]
She noticed it, and then she made a decision that she might never be going to forgive herself about.
She decided not to save him!
After a while, the fake Xiao Monarch was gradually falling into a deadly situation. It seemed he was unable to make it out of danger…
However, at that moment, Jun Yinglian still wouldn’t go out. She was invaded by a wave of coldness. She felt cold for the man who was fighting for life.
[Why?]
[Why do I feel it this way?]
Deep in her heart, she was sure she loved Xiao Monarch so much. She would sacrifice her own life to exchange for a chance for Ye Xiao to live. However, why didn’t she feel sad even when she decided not to help him? Why didn’t she feel worried for him like she did ever? She was watching him falling into a deadly situation, but why didn’t she feel concerned? Why would she only feel cold and terrified inside her heart when she observed that man she loved?
Everything went wrong. She started to think, [Is there anything wrong?]
In fact, she had a Regeneration Dan bead with her all the time, which was the most precious treasure of Sky Ice Palace. Even if the fake Xiao Monarch was injured to the point of almost dying, she could still bring him back to life.
That was the biggest reason she would decide not to save him.
She was waiting. Even though she felt the problem, she still hoped that that man was indeed Ye Xiao!
However, it turned out the fake Xiao Monarch suddenly raged up and killed a way out. He actually killed many people and left… Jun Yinglian felt that maybe it was too easy…
The result of the fight was never the point!
The point was whether the man as Ye Xiao or not!
Since he was safe, she figured she should spend some time waiting to confirm his identity!
When she decided to do so, she didn’t understand why she would make such a decision.
She hadn’t seen Ye Xiao for a long time. She missed him so much. She was crazy about it. Why would she decide to wait?
What was she waiting for?
She gave up the thought of meeting him. She followed him and observed every detail of that man, including how he swung his arms when he walked.
Even the size of his steps.
Little by little, she felt something was wrong.
Ye Xiao was good at self-restraint. He was at least the top 5 most self-restrained people in Qing-Yun Realm. That man acted exactly like Ye Xiao, but not entirely.
Nobody could tell the difference except Jun Yinglian, who knew Ye Xiao too well.
Even though she had felt something wrong, she still didn’t want to give up the hope.
What if he changed a little bit because he was injured and couldn’t keep moving in the same pattern?
What if he had changed just because something that had happened to him?
For Jun Yinglian, even though she had noticed something wrong about him, although it was most likely he wasn’t Ye Xiao, she still hoped that the miracle happened and Ye Xiao was still alive!
As long as Ye Xiao was alive, she wouldn’t care about anything else!
However, not long after the first fight, the fake Xiao Monarch was hunted for the second time!
Jun Yinglian finally confirmed that it was a trap!
Suddenly, she felt cold.
In her heart, there was only desperation.
[So it is a trap… He is a fake… That Ye Xiao is not real.]
Her dream was ended. The reality told her the truth again!
[So… Ye Xiao is dead after all.]
What happened was somebody trying to make use of Ye Xiao to set up a trap to Jun Yinglian. Somebody was trying to kill her! That was all!
However, she just let the show keep going again and again. Third, fourth, fifth…
She endured it for a long time and didn’t kill those men only because… she wanted to see that man’s face, to feel Ye Xiao.
She wanted to feel it like he was truly still alive.
Even though she had known that he was a fake Ye Xiao, that he would show more differences with the real one she wanted to see, she still wouldn’t show up, just watching him with Ye Xiao’s face…
[I don’t care what you are doing, or how you die and come back to alive again and again, or the traps you set up to hurt me…]
[I don’t care!]
[I just want to see the shadow of his back.]
[His face.]
It was the fifth time now.
She was sure that no matter who wanted to kill her, they were sure she was in this area. However, they didn’t know where she exactly was.
That was why they kept putting on that show again and again.
About seven and eight men in black fought that fake Xiao Monarch, making big noises that could shock the world as if they wanted the entire world to watch them. They shouted so loudly to attract people’s attention.
Jun Yinglian smiled sneeringly.
Finally, another fight was finished. That fake Xiao Monarch left in an imposing manner. The ‘dead guys’ lied on the floor. Jun Yinglian was still standing still, watching them.
This time, it only took shorter than two hours for those men in black to relive. They got up and stayed together.
They had been ‘killed’ five times so far!
Five big-time battles, they had to be knocked down for five times. Surely, they had to relive for five times too. Otherwise, who was going to play the sixth show?
However, they had extra work to do this time. They seemed to be discussing something.
Were they planning on a new show?
For Jun Yinglian, whatever show they were going to play, she would only continue watching. All she cared about was the face of Ye Xiao. Nothing else mattered!
However, she quietly moved forward a little bit and set her spiritual mind closer to them to hear what they were talking. After all, they were setting up a trap to get her. It was always better to know what the enemies were thinking.
“Why is it not working…” One man spoke in a low voice, “Is she… Is that woman not in this area anymore?”
“Impossible. The order from up there has never pointed a wrong direction. She must be around.” Another man said.
“Then how come she still hasn’t shown up after five times. We have been doing it so loud, and she should be more than powerful enough to notice us…” a third man frowned and said.
“She will show up. We should avoid exposing ourselves.” The man who seemed to be the leader of them said.
After speaking, he made a long sigh.
Apparently, he wasn’t so sure about what he just said. It was more like a solace to himself.
“The supporting team has arrived and hidden well. Let’s work harder, try to make it louder, and I am sure she will show up soon.”
“Yes.”
“Right. It has been a busy time in the martial world. It is said that Misty Cloud Palace was declaring war against Qiong-Hua Palace.” One man changed the topic.
“No way. Really?” Another man doubted it, “If the two great palaces start to fight each other… there will be no peaceful days for the entire world.”
“That’s true. Since it is still quite peaceful as it appears, I guess the two palaces didn’t truly start the fight.”
Then they started to gabble.
“You guys have no idea. Do you?” The man who first started the topic seemed perky. He spoke with a low voice, “There is a big gossip in it… Besides, what is behind the gossip seemed to be unknown to all, like a big messy cloud of fog… The two palaces didn’t start it yet, but they will eventually. It is an unavoidable war.”
“Is it really? You must know something about the messy cloud of fog, don’t you? Just tell us more.” The others seemed interested.
“It is said… that it all happened in Oracle District.” That man lowered his voice and spoke with a perky attitude of ‘I am such an intelligent person among you a bunch ignorant, stupid men’, “You all know what happened about the Saintess of Qiong-Hua Palace back then, don’t you?”
“Absolutely. Who doesn’t? What about it?”
“What about it? That is exactly about it…”
“Well, the thing is… blabablablablabla… It is said when Qiong-Hua Palace was shouting at the people of Ye Clan, preparing to kill Ye Nantian and that boy, who is the son of Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue… Misty Cloud Palace’s people suddenly showed up! They supported Ye Clan fully. They even announced that they would start a war against Qiong-Hua Palace if Ye Clan wanted them to, that it is under their great Elder Xuan Bing’s instruction!”
“Hiss… No way… Really? Isn’t it sick? … Well… Are you sure this is not your imagination?”
“What? Are you shocked now? This is not all… Something more shocking I am going to say…” That man was still perky, “When the two palaces were standing against each other and prepared to start a fight, the top superior cultivators of Cold Moon Palace, Zhan Yunfei, and Zhu Jiutian, suddenly showed up! They also supported Ye Clan, and declared enmity to Qiong-Hua Palace…”
“What? That’s ridiculous! Why does it sound more like a story? What is going on?” The others were all confused. “Cold Moon Palace interfered? What would they do that for?”
“There must be a reason for that. And it must be big. It seems that the young lord of Ye Clan, son of Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue, is named Ye Xiao. He has the same name as Xiao Monarch, who died in the battle against the three factions. Isn’t interesting?”
“What? Isn’t he awesome? That is pretty awesome… Ye Nantian truly has guts. He actually gave his son such a domineering name… Wait a moment. If he is named Ye Xiao, why would Cold Moon Palace help Ye Clan? They are supposed to be enemies!”
“Heh… Because of what I am going to tell you next.” That man continued, “The young lord Ye Xiao is about eighteen years old. However, he is pretty talented. He has become the private disciple to all the three grand elders of Cold Moon Palace…”
“What? Holy hell! That’s absurd!” the others all exclaimed.
“Do you guys remember the big mess of the three factions, that they eventually dissolve their partnership earlier? This big young lord Ye Xiao was the key… However, when he was in Cold Moon Palace, he was Ye Chongxiao, not Ye Xiao. He exposed his name only when he returned to Ye Clan. It is reasonable though. If he used his real name to live in the martial world, no matter how talented he is, the elders of Cold Moon Palace would never take him in. There is an issue between Xiao Monarch and the three factions. It is taboo after all. That is the story of fate and luck…”
“Hiss…”
“So I see…”
“I see… That is pretty twisty and interesting…”
“It is said that Oracle District has been the focal spot of all now…”
…
Not only the men in black were shocked, but also Jun Yinglian. That was many things happening at the same time.
She could never have imagined.
However, when she heard it, she didn’t doubt it. After all, about Ye Xiao’s name being used, she had learned it from Yue Gongxue earlier. In fact, it reminded her of what Yue Gongxue asked her to do!
It seemed she had to go to Oracle District.
Suddenly, her eyes were full of killing intent.
[Now I have something to do next. I got no time to play with you guys…]
