Chapter 519 The Arrogance of an Immortal
What Yun Yici said in front of Yao Chi that day was not some crazy talk.
She left with Shen Huaichuan.
Yao Chi then instructed Chong Yuan to release information about her close interactions with Yun Yici and her group during this period.
Chongyuan asked, puzzled, "Master, why is that?"
"Although it is true that Sect Leader Yun and the others have been kind to us, you have given us a considerable reward."
"You let them use your influence, but didn't you consider the possibility that the Green Lotus Seed might actually fall into their hands..."
This time, it was said to be a recommendation of disciples, but in reality, the elders didn't want to break ties, so they chose a seemingly gentler method to compete for the Green Lotus Seed.
On the surface, each disciple receives the prize, but behind closed doors, the decision of who gets it rests with the elders.
Even so, Chongyuan was willing.
The three of them were direct disciples of Yao Chi.
Yao Chi was always generous and never treated them unfairly.
If they can make it into the top three, Yao Chi won't bother with them.
But if Yun Yici and the others get involved, things will be different.
Chongyuan was still quite wary of the strength of these outsiders.
Also, Yao Chi finally managed to repair some of her relationship with Lian Chi.
If the Green Lotus Seeds fall into the hands of outsiders like Yun Yici, it might cause dissatisfaction among the people of the Lotus Pond.
Yao Chi glanced at her clueless disciples and sighed, "You've all suffered a lot because of me over the years, haven't you?"
“But, Chongyuan, you should learn from your senior sister that you shouldn’t be too preoccupied with your thoughts.”
"Just because you were born and raised in one place doesn't mean you're one of us."
"Back then, I was stabbed in the back by my own people. Even though I shouted myself hoarse, no one believed me except you."
"Sect Leader Yun has been kind to me, while Lianchi has a grudge against me. They weren't afraid to offend me back then, but now they expect me to consider their feelings? Dream on!"
"Just release the message, and there will definitely be a reaction on the other side."
"Remember this: if Headmaster Yun and the others intend to participate in the competition this time, you and your junior brother should focus on helping them and not have any other thoughts."
Chongyuan opened his mouth to speak, but Yaochi waved her hand to interrupt him.
“I can’t stay with you all forever. You have to give up something to gain something. I’ve prepared another opportunity for you, my fellow disciples.”
"This opportunity is more important to you than the green lotus seeds."
"I will try my best to plan for you, but if you are useless and can't be helped, there's nothing I can do."
These words were extremely harsh, and Chong Yuan looked ashamed, but he still took them to heart.
He bowed and took his leave, saying, "Yes, Master, I understand."
After being enlightened by Yao Chi, Chong Yuan went out and did as she said.
Zhang Qiuzhuo, who was already busy dealing with various forces coming to inquire, almost fainted.
He was still thinking of removing Yun Yici and her group from the list.
"This, this is something we must not reveal Elder Shen's identity."
Countless people with ulterior motives came to investigate the suddenly appearing mythical beasts.
If Shen Huaichuan's identity is exposed, he won't be able to come up with any excuses.
"Master's original intention was not to expose Elder Shen's identity, but simply to spread the news of their close relationship. Those who understand will naturally understand."
After a moment's thought, Zhang Qiuzhuo decided to do as Yao Chi suggested.
His ambiguous attitude immediately reignited the suspicions that had been suppressed over the past month.
Three days later, a second invitation from Lianchi was delivered to Emperor Qianyuan.
The invitee was Yun Yici.
After opening it, Yun Yici chuckled and said, "The Lotus Pond Immortal is indeed arrogant."
This invitation was different from the one Yao Chi received.
They only invited her to come and listen to the sermon, without mentioning a word about the lotus seed forming.
Yao Chi arrived upon hearing the news, pondering, "They probably want to see you first."
"However, they did underestimate you."
Judging from the perspective of the people in the Lotus Pond, Yun Yici, the sect leader in the Integration Stage, would be extremely fortunate to have received an invitation.
