Chapter 952 Friendly Reminder, Holy Emperor's Malice

Ye Kang looked at the figure in front of him with slight surprise.

The other person was dressed in a magnificent blue robe, holding a folding fan, with long hair flowing in the wind, looking every bit the dashing young gentleman.

Ye Meijue also showed surprise, because she recognized this person as well.

"Chu Yi?"

Indeed, the person who arrived was Chu Yi. Ye Meijue had also interacted with him at the Mitian Dharma Assembly.

However, she was very puzzled as to why the son of a duke with a bad reputation would appear here.

Ye Kang didn't have many doubts; he could roughly guess the other party's purpose in coming.

Chu Yi, or rather Situ Qingyu, still has something here.

Last time at the Mitian Dharma Assembly, Situ Qingyu was watched by countless people, all of whom were experts, so he naturally didn't dare to come and take back that thing, and has been dragging it out until now.

Moreover, this guy's cultivation level has actually broken through to the Returning to Truth Realm.

Sure enough, Situ Qingyu was quite capable; she probably deliberately suppressed her speed to avoid arousing suspicion.

Ye Kang asked, "Brother Chu, what brings you here? Could it be that you too have received orders to escort Consort Ye with me?"

Situ Qingyu shook her head: "No, no, I came here specifically for Brother Ye. Brother Ye, don't forget, we still have a deal to make."

"Of course I haven't forgotten, it's just that you haven't mentioned it for so long, I thought you had already given up on it."

Ye Kang smiled, took out that wisp of something from the water tower space, and turned it into a ball of light and electricity.

This is a fragment of the spiritual Dao trace left by Situ Qingyu. Before he died, he entered the Dao Integration stage using the spiritual Dao trace. With this fragment, his chances of returning to his peak will be greatly increased.

This item had no effect on Ye Kang. The Dao trace was unique, and even refining the fragments wouldn't improve his abilities, so he didn't dwell on it and simply tossed it over.

After all, he had made a vow to uphold the Dao, so he had settled a karmic debt.

Situ Qingyu caught the Dao trace fragment with her hand and immediately sealed it away.

He then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Young Ye, you really are a reliable person. In that case, let me remind you again: the higher-ups in Wudu received advance notice that the Holy Emperor had chosen you to escort him."

After saying that, Situ Qingyu didn't care whether Ye Kang understood or not. Her figure disappeared and her aura evaporated instantly, as if she had never existed.

"Running so fast..."

Ye Kang muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Ye Meijue frowned and asked, "What does he mean? Why did he specifically remind you of this nonsense?"

Many people already knew that the Holy Emperor had assigned Ye Kang to carry out the mission, so there was nothing to remind them of.

Ye Kang thought for a moment and said, "Since he reminded me, it means this isn't just idle talk."

Ye Meijue's eyes flickered with suspicion. "Could it be that among the higher-ups who knew about this beforehand, someone is very concerned about it?"

"maybe."

Ye Kang didn't say much, but he had already guessed some of it.

Those high-ranking figures didn't offend anyone themselves, but if you had to say who they were connected to, it would be Prime Minister Ye.

After all, that crazy woman Ye Yinghuan harbored a deep grudge against him.

If Ye Yinghuan has guessed his identity and is asking Ye Xiang for revenge, then now is indeed the best opportunity.

Moreover, since Ye Yinghuan and Chu Yi have a good relationship, it's not surprising that Situ Qingyu learned about this.

But how will Ye Xiang make his move?

Personally intervene? Impossible. A prime minister like himself wouldn't take action.

Then you can only hire someone else, and they can't have any connections with you, only then will it be considered complete.

The martial artists who could be hired by Ye Xiang might be powerful peak True Returning Realm cultivators, but they would definitely not be Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

That is an insult to a Dao-Merging expert.

Thinking of this, Ye Kang smiled.

Then let's wait for them to arrive. I'm really curious about just how much Ye Xiang values ​​me.

He remained calm and continued flying forward.

There's no need to think about any ambushes on Huoshaoyuan, since it's still Wu Dynasty territory. If there were any ambushes, they would only be at sea.

Ye Meijue seemed to realize something as well, and said, "From here to Wuzhou, the world is vast, we can take a detour."

"That's a good idea, but aren't you in a hurry?"

Ye Kang nodded, agreeing with the suggestion.

Ye Meijue shook her head and said, "There's nothing to rush. Do people who have been sent back even care when they get home?"

She looked somewhat forlorn, but not disappointed; instead, she seemed relieved.

Just as Ye Kang was about to change the subject, Ye Meijue turned to him and said, "Don't you want to know what happened?"

"...Maybe I shouldn't have listened."

"It's alright, I was just about to say it anyway. If you don't want to listen, just shut out your hearing."

She gave a sly smile and then said to herself, "You should know that I am a beauty sent by Emperor Huai to establish some connection with your Martial Dynasty's Holy Emperor. This is both a test between Leizhou and Wuzhou and a test by Emperor Huai for the Holy Emperor. Only by accepting me can the Martial Dynasty gain Emperor Huai's favor."

Ye Meijue spoke slowly, and Ye Kang's expression remained unchanged, but he did not deliberately shut out his hearing.

"Unfortunately, your Holy Emperor is no pushover either. He did not accept Emperor Huai's test. He never even glanced at me, let alone touched me. The so-called Holy Empress's dislike is just their talk. Sending me back is to tell Emperor Huai that the Wu Dynasty does not need the goodwill of Wuzhou."

Ye Kang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

It turns out that this Night Consort is actually a pure and good girl.

Moreover, why is the Holy Emperor so assertive?

This is a direct insult to Emperor Huai!

wrong!

Ye Kang suddenly realized something.

"Then I'll escort you back, wouldn't that be..."

Ye Meijue gave him a gloating look: "You're only just realizing? You're not only a guard, but also a representative of the Wu Dynasty. If you come back to Wuzhou with me, you'll have to face Emperor Huai's malice, which is something not everyone can withstand~"

"..."

Ye Kang's face darkened.

I hope I won't be swatted to death by Emperor Huai as soon as I get there.

What exactly does this Holy Emperor mean by sending me on such a dangerous mission? Isn't he just using me as a pawn?

Seeing Ye Kang's disgusted expression, Ye Meijue covered her mouth and continued to laugh, "I think I know why it was you."

"Why?"

"You carry the aura of Emperor Huai. That Holy Emperor, did he give you the Green Profound Heaven that Emperor Huai bestowed upon you?"

The Green Mystic Heaven was that celestial treasure, containing the combined power of two kings, which Ye Kang dared not refine at all.

Ye Kang nodded, and Ye Meijue immediately showed an expression of "I knew it."

"Then there's nothing surprising. You definitely didn't refine the Green Profound Heaven. Your Holy Emperor is extremely petty. If you didn't refine it, it would be tantamount to betrayal. How could he tolerate you? Naturally, he sent you away and took the opportunity to make the most of your remaining energy."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang remained noncommittal.

This is indeed the best explanation.

But who would dare to refine that stuff? Wouldn't that be digging a hole for themselves?
