Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 982
Chapter 982 True Cause
The atmosphere was very strange. Bai Yunfei’s sudden arrival disrupted the rhythm of the First Prince, Bai Lie, and he didn’t even know where to start.
However, it wasn’t easy to attack, so he could only sit down and didn’t say anything.
“I’m very curious. How did Second Brother know I was here?”
Bai Lie had always been puzzled. The number of people who invited Ye Feng here today was very few. Basically, no one knew that Ye Feng had been in seclusion for half a month. Other than Jia Wanguan, no one else knew about it.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Ye Feng had only just arrived when Bai Yunfei arrived. Even if he rushed over from the Tian Ji Manor, there was not enough time for a cup of tea.
There was only one possibility. Bai Yunfei already knew that Ye Feng would be out of seclusion today, and that he would arrive here at this time.
“Are you going to ask your people about this?”
Bai Yunfei didn’t care as he flicked his wine cup and hugged the girl beside him.
Bai Lie looked at Li Ke, then looked at Zhu Rong, and finally fixed his gaze on Jia Wanguan.
Seeing that First Prince was looking at him, Jia Wanguan plopped and suddenly knelt down.
“First Prince, spare me. I didn’t know that the Second Prince had planted someone next to me. Please spare me, First Prince!”
Jia Wanguan kowtowed like a garlic, his head was bleeding, he didn’t feel any pain, and he continued to kowtow. He didn’t look like the boss of the Jia Chamber of Commerce.
“How’s my kung fu?”
The girl lying in Bai Yunfei’s embrace suddenly giggled. She was very strange, especially every time she laughed, the beauty mole between her eyebrows would emit a bright light, making it easy for people to get lost.
None of the people present were fools. Clearly, they understood the crux of the matter. The Second Prince used a beauty trap to arrange for this girl to be by Jia Wanguan’s side. As a result, a lot of information was leaked out.
Bai Lie’s face was terribly gloomy. He wished he could go up and tear Jia Wanguan apart. Because of the presence of outsiders, Bai Lie could not get angry.
Bai Lie glared fiercely at Jia Wanguan. Bai Lie withdrew his murderous gaze. It was all Jia Wanguan. Otherwise, why would Bai Yunfei have rushed over?
“Big brother, why are you angry? Since our goals are the same, why don’t you tell the truth and hide it?”
Of course, Bai Yunfei didn’t care about Jia Wanguan’s life or death, and even looked at him like he was looking at a dead dog.
“Brother Ye, please sit down!”
Bai Lie didn’t want to say anything else. He signaled for Ye Feng to sit down. Since Bai Yunfei had come, it would definitely be impossible to drive him away.
Ye Feng sat down leisurely, the corner of his mouth carrying a smile, the oppressive atmosphere immediately dissipated.
“Brother Ye, I’m really sorry to make you laugh!”
Bai Lie smiled bitterly. It seemed that it was impossible for him to talk to Ye Feng alone today.
“Brother Bai, if you have anything to say, just say it. I’m all ears!”
Ye Feng knew very well that he did not want to expose the fight between them, so he sat here in peace.
“It’s like this. You must be very strange. Why did I suddenly invite you here? There are still many things that you don’t know. I won’t hide anything from you anymore.”
Bai Lie opened his mouth.
Everyone else remained silent, because they were involved in some secrets, so it was difficult to interrupt them.
“You must be very suspicious. Why did Baiyun Imperial Family and First Prince suddenly find you? If it was anyone else, it would be very difficult to understand. Most likely, other than Second Brother, none of the people present knew the reason behind it.”
After Bai Lie finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Yunfei and discovered that he had also nodded. Indeed, no one knew the real reason.
“All of you, go down!”
Bai Lie waved his hand, letting Jia Wanguan go down, along with the few guards accompanying him.
Bai Yunfei also waved his hand, leaving only Bai Xuehui and the young girl by his side, while the others retreated.
The Worry Relieving Pavilion suddenly quieted down. Those who could stay were definitely trusted confidants of the two First Prince.
Ye Feng also became solemn. What was it that made the two First Prince so solemn?
“To be honest, we know a little about Talisman Guild’s background. I believe Brother Ye also knows about it, because some of us in Baiyun Imperial Family have entered Talisman Guild, or even the legendary Star System.”
Bai Lie didn’t get a clue, but he knew a little about it. He should know that behind the Talisman Guild was the Talisman Sect.
“What does that have to do with me?”
Ye Feng did not think so. He had already learned from Jia Wanguan that the Baiyun Imperial Family had to pay tribute to the Talisman Guild every year. It was normal for him to know something.
“Of course it does, because our ancestors also entered the Jade Pavilion. In the next few years, they were taken away by the Talisman Guild.”
Bai Lie was slightly excited. How many people dreamed of entering the Star System?
Ye Feng still did not understand, but he could vaguely guess something.
“This matter started a thousand years ago. At that time, the Talisman Guild had already been established and recruited a large number of talisman dao geniuses every year. However, only a handful of talisman dao geniuses could enter the eyes of the Talisman Guild. A thousand years ago, a genius appeared in the Baiyun Imperial Family. He used the fourth level of the Divine Martial Arts to carve out a fifth level Void Talisman. As a result, he was favored by the Talisman Guild and brought to the Joan Tower. As for the content, we don’t know, but one thing is certain. Later, our Baiyun Imperial Family’s geniuses entered the Starfield and joined the Talisman Sect.
Ye Feng heard the word “Fu Zong” again. Last time in the Qiong Pavilion, he heard it from the mouth of the First Prince, Bai Lie.
“So that’s how it is. Do you think that I am also favored by the Talisman Guild and that I might be a disciple of the Talisman Sect in the future?”
Ye Feng could tell that the other party was because of this.
“Isn’t that so? Only disciples of the Talisman Sect can enter the Joan Pavilion. Even if they obtain a crystal token, they are not qualified to do so.”
After saying that, First Prince took out a token that was translucent and sparkling. It was precisely the crystal token issued by Talisman Guild. Talisman Guild had issued a total of five tokens, but unexpectedly, there was one in First Prince.
Ye Feng was slightly shocked. He did not expect that this First Prince was actually a talisman dao genius. Just based on this crystal card, it proved that he could carve a level 7 or 8 Void Talisman.
“Even if I’m a disciple of the Talisman Sect, it’s not worth it for you to rope me in like this, is it?”
Ye Feng did not say that he had not agreed to them, but instead asked.
“To be honest, it is very difficult for us to enter the Star System. Unless someone recommends us, we hope that Brother Ye can introduce us to the Fu Sect in the future. Each Fu Sect disciple has three referral spots. This is why we are looking for you together.”
Ye Feng had always suspected that with his own ability, he would definitely not be able to influence the situation in Baiyun Imperial Family. The two First Prince were fighting over the position of Emperor. With his own strength, he was simply unable to turn the world around. The real reason was that they all wanted to enter the Star System. As for the position of Baiyun Emperor, it was secondary.
For martial artists, they naturally yearned for a higher realm and a higher sky. Only the Star System would have the chance to step into the legendary realm and shatter the void.
“Then a thousand years ago, you Baiyun Imperial Family should have introduced three people. You Baiyun Imperial Family will only get more and more. Why do you look like this now?”
According to Bai Lie, there were people from Baiyun Imperial Family who had joined the Talisman Sect. In the past thousand years, three people had definitely been introduced. Baiyun Imperial Family would definitely become the head of the three royal families. However, this was not the case. Baiyun Imperial Family had rarely traveled around the continent these past few years.
“We … the genius of our Baiyun Imperial Family has perished.”
As he spoke, Bai Lie’s expression darkened.
Even Ye Feng was stunned, but he quickly understood. Although the Star System was close to the Immortal Dimension, the competition was even more intense, even a hundred times more intense than Qinli Middle Continent’s.
Death was normal.
“Are you saying that you want me to enter the Talisman Sect and be able to introduce you to it in the future? Is that what you mean?”
No matter how stupid Ye Feng was, he could tell that only the Baiyun Imperial Family knew about the background of the Talisman Guild.
“That’s right, I hope Brother Ye can fulfill it.”
Although Ye Feng’s realm was lower than the First Prince’s, and his Talisman Dao realm could not be compared, it was Bai Lie who was begging Ye Feng, because he could not afford to offend the forces behind Ye Feng.
Bai Yunfei also had an eager expression as he stared at Ye Feng, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.
“I might disappoint you two.”
Ye Feng looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, spread out his hands, and helplessly said.
Bai Lie and Bai Yunfei’s bodies trembled in confusion. Could it be that their sincerity wasn’t enough?
“Brother Ye, as long as you agree to introduce me to the Talisman Sect, I can even make the decision and betroth Bai Die to you.”
Bai Lie gritted his teeth and unexpectedly pushed Bai Die out. In the entire Tan City, how many young and talented people wanted to marry Bai Die, but today, Bai Lie actually wanted to give Bai Die to Ye Feng.
Even Bai Die herself was stunned. She didn’t expect that Big Brother would count her in for her own sake.
Very quickly, a strand of killing intent emerged and pierced straight into Ye Feng. Ye Feng could clearly feel that it was coming from Li Ke’s body.
However, he quickly smiled. It seemed that Li Ke had not liked Bai Die for a day or two. After learning that Bai Lie was betrothing Bai Die to him, Li Ke could not sit still.
“Big brother …”
Bai Die revealed a warm and angry expression. She was in charge of her own affairs, and no one could interfere.
“Little sister, with Brother Ye’s future, if you can follow behind him, your future will definitely be limitless!”
Bai Lie explained that Ye Feng would be a disciple of the Talisman Sect in the future. It was definitely the most correct choice for his sister to be with him.
Ye Feng smiled bitterly. The two brothers were considered to be top-notch couples. The Second Prince did everything he could. First Prince ignored the feelings of others and sighed. He shook his head.
“Brother Ye, I’ll make you laugh!”
Looking at Ye Feng shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Bai Lie’s face was a little unnatural. Giving his sister to someone else in front of an outsider was indeed not very glorious.
“It’s fine!”
Ye Feng waved his hand. Ye Feng understood their feelings very well. He didn’t want to enter the Star System, but Ye Feng still looked down on them for using everything like them.
“Brother Ye, if you feel that I’m not sincere enough, you can make a condition. As long as you can introduce me, as long as I can do it, I can agree to it.”
Seeing that Ye Feng’s face didn’t have any emotions, Bai Lie couldn’t sit still any longer.
“Brother Ye, as long as you agree to introduce me to the Talisman Sect, I can promise you any benefits. Pills, resources, and beauties, I guarantee that you will be promoted to the seventh or eighth level of the Divine realm in a very short period of time.”
Bai Yunfei spoke. The two brothers were at odds. Neither of them wanted the other to join the Talisman Sect.
“I said earlier, I’m afraid I will disappoint the two of you because I didn’t agree to join the Talisman Sect!”
Ye Feng had a helpless expression on his face.
