Chapter 3700 -1797: Suspicion (Part 2)
Yue Gongli detached from the situation, observing Xu Xiaoshou’s absurd antics in the five holy land secret realm from a spectator’s perspective.
Xu Xiaoshou never acted absurdly.
Beneath the seemingly absurd surface, there was always profound meaning.
It couldn’t be that he went to Yunshan just to simply move the Hua family’s ancestor stone carving or went to Tingyu Pavilion merely to tease the maids while gathering some intelligence, right?
That’s too shallow!
On the surface, there is one layer, but beneath, there must be another.
So, what is this unseen layer, what exactly is Xu Xiaoshou doing?
Yue Gongli held elixirs in his hand, staring fixedly at the anxious Dai’er in front of him, but what occupied his mind was a man.
He racked his brain, unable to figure out what Xu Xiaoshou wanted to do or was doing.
He released his saint’s will, sweeping through the entire Cold Palace Emperor Realm, everything appeared usual, Xu Xiaoshou left no trace.
But at this moment!
From an inexplicable source, Yue Gongli’s hair stood on end.
He felt that all around the Cold Palace Emperor Realm, countless invisible eyes were rising, those were Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes.
They were staring at him, their gaze playful, mocking.
Mocking his incompetence!
“Bang.”
Yue Gongli clenched his hand tightly, crushing the jade bottle containing the soul protecting pill, the elixirs turning into powder.
Dai’er, right in front, shivered in fear, drawing her hands to her chest, teetering on the verge of tears.
“Young Master Li…”
She called out softly, tears already glistening in her eyes.
This elixir might as well have been consumed at first, this soul might as well have been searched at first, at least collapsing like Ping’er meant avoiding such torturous limbo between desire for immortality and the wish for death.
Yue Gongli snapped back to reality, looking at Dai’er with added apology:
“I’m sorry for scaring you.”
He then turned to Hua Changdeng, his thoughts now settled:
“You’re right, we can’t let him manipulate us anymore, look from outside, he just wants to mess with the five great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor, maybe he’s scouting ahead.”
“Since he asked Mournful and Qianshi and then went to your Yunshan, and my Cold Palace, his next stop is surely Wu Rao Emperor Realm.”
Hua Changdeng raised an eyebrow.
He had just returned from staking out Wu Rao Emperor Realm, waiting for the rabbit, encountered no rabbit.
“I know you’ve been there.”
Yue Gongli gently pinched Dai’er’s cheek in comfort while imagining himself as Dao Qiongcang, using Dao Qiongcang’s way of thinking to reach a conclusion:
“He just wants to toy with us.”
“Whether it’s Mournful or Qianshi, he has concerns, and going there might just be a last part of his plan, sacrificing a clone.”
“Wu Rao Emperor Realm, Elder Yu fell there, he’ll definitely want to check it out first anyway, let’s squat on him…time’s running out, let’s set off now!”
Having said this, Yue Gongli intended to leave.
Hua Changdeng didn’t move: “Why?”
“No why!” Yue Gongli got anxious, “To deal with people like him, there can’t be a why, trust your instincts!”
Instinct…
How absurd!
In the midst of guidance, you still talk about instinct?
Hua Changdeng once climbed Mournful with a lamp, aware of the dangers, he roughly guessed Xu Xiaoshou’s destination: “Qianshi Emperor Realm.”
Yue Gongli: “Wu Rao Emperor Realm!”
“We’ll split into two groups, I’ll go to Qianshi, you go to Wu Rao.” Hua Changdeng proposed.
“Then I won’t go.”
Yue Gongli sobered up.
What the hell!
This is originally between Hua Changdeng and Xu Xiaoshou, why am I getting involved?
What benefit do I get from finding Xu Xiaoshou?
Will he give me candy?
Hua Changdeng’s eagle-like eyes narrowed, showing a chilling light, saying nothing, just staring at Yue Gongli.
The latter suddenly remembered, it was he who had split the ancestor stone carving.
“Ah…” He clutched his head, uttering an incredibly irritated sound:
“Go, go, go!”
“But listen to me, go to Wu Rao Emperor Realm!”
“Don’t doubt me, your understanding of Xu Xiaoshou is not even one ten-thousandth of what you think you understand of Xu Xiaoshou — he’s fundamentally not human!”
Hua Changdeng was momentarily drawn in, eventually nodding:
“Alright.”
The two prepared to set off.
The maids of the Tingyu Pavilion collectively breathed a sigh of relief, finally they were leaving.
Just then, they saw the troublemaker, Young Master Li, stop, suddenly turn around, and look back at the maids: “I always trust my intuition…”
“Still searching?” Even Hua Changdeng was a bit fed up.
Yue Gongli ignored this, observed the reactions of the women who then after being spared, appeared unchanged, he could only sigh inwardly.
He had tried his best.
Fighting against Xu Xiaoshou was exhausting both mentally and physically, he didn’t even know if Xu Xiaoshou was present.
But Yue Gongli didn’t give up, his gaze finally fell back on Dai’er, “Just search this last one…”
He walked over, handing out the elixir anew.
“Young Master Li…”
No one likes being soul-searched.
The little secrets within, will be completely exposed to others, even if that other is oneself!
Yue Gongli understood the maid’s thoughts, hearing this call, he was determined to proceed.
Dai’er was nervous, but now it seemed she had calmed, grabbing the pill bottle, pouring out the medicine, and swallowing it down.
She then closed her eyes and tilted her head back, her long eyelashes trembling, as if awaiting execution under a guillotine.
Yue Gongli found her adorable.
“What’s there to fear?”
Yet he remained expressionless, extending a palm to touch Dai’er’s head.
Whoosh!
At this moment, several figures descended from afar, landing outside the Tingyu Pavilion, the voice of the leading elder rang out:
“Young Master Li, Xu Xiaoshou has been found!”
“He’s in Wu Rao Emperor Realm, not concealing his presence, openly showing himself, it’s an outright provocation!”
Hua Changdeng’s pupils contracted, he raised his lamp and drew his sword, ready to set off, yet paused before leaving, casting a glance towards Yue Gongli:
“Follow.”
Yue Gongli’s brain was sharp, handling someone as cunning as Xu Xiaoshou, having more foxes around was beneficial.
Yet when he looked over, Yue Gongli not only didn’t follow but instead stared at the elder who came to deliver the communication, deep in thought.
