CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 372: AS SOON AS HE SPEAKS, HE COMES OFF AS AN OLD PERVERT

"Hmph, of course I know where he is." Xu Yi snorted coldly, casually twirling his Blood Blade and flicking off the dripping liquid from it.

However, after looking around, he asked with some confusion:

"Where’s that little girl, Liu Rouxin? Didn’t she come with you?"

That’s not right, he had sent a message for Liu Rouxin to bring them here, so why isn’t she here now?

Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged glances, seeming somewhat embarrassed as they looked at each other, unsure whether they should speak up to remind him.

"Xu... old... man!" A voice suppressing rage came from the side.

Xu Yi looked down only to see his beloved disciple.

"Whoosh!"

The long spear pierced through the sky; Liu Rouxin didn’t show any courtesy and drew her spear to stab directly at Xu Yi’s forehead! Is this how you act as a master? Every time they meet it’s like this!

"Eh eh, don’t be mad, don’t be mad, it’s true that Master didn’t see..." The severe expression on Xu Yi’s face instantly collapsed, replaced with a practiced apologetic smile.

"You dare to say I’m short!?" Liu Rouxin pushed her enterprise-level understanding to the limit, her anger flaring even more,

"I..."

Xu Yi was at a loss for words. Women really are creatures that change faces. The disciple who used to be so cute in her childhood, who would hang on his arm and call him master every day, how many years have passed? She’s already changed so much.

Macho men sobbing...

"If there’s a next time, I’ll make some holes in you!" After venting her fury, Liu Rouxin withdrew her spear, glaring at Xu Yi fiercely.

"No one would want this kind of disciple if given away now, right?" Xu Yi muttered softly to himself, but because of his naturally loud voice even a low whisper could still be heard loud and clear by everyone.

The killing intent that had just subsided in Liu Rouxin surged once again; she felt that after being away from the sect for just a few months, this man actually dared to say such things to her face!

"Cough cough, who is that... Liang Yi, right? What brings you here?" Seeing Liu Rouxin getting ready to draw her spear again, Xu Yi quickly changed the subject with his voice.

In the time it took to speak these words, the man who just a moment ago had a forced smile once again stood tall, his brows and eyes stern, and returned to the fearsome reputation of the Sect Leader of the Blood Control Sect.

But Liang Yi, who had recognized his true colors, was no longer deceived by this appearance! However, even if the heart of this Sect Leader is that of a joker, it depends on who is facing.

"Well, the junior came here first to apologize to your prestigious sect as instructed by my master, and secondly to propose an alliance with your sect on behalf of the Sect Leader of the Purple Cloud Sect." Liang Yi composed himself and unhurriedly communicated the purpose of his visit.

Liu Rouxin was somewhat surprised. She was aware of Liang Yi’s intention to form an alliance, but what is this apology all about?

"And this lady?" Xu Yi shifted his gaze to Zhou Yuqing, who stood silent in the middle, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

"This one... is an elder of the Purple Cloud Sect, elder Zhou Yuqing." Liang Yi paused for a moment, wondering why his question had gone off on a tangent after hearing his words. Nevertheless, he still gave a brief introduction of Zhou Yuqing to the Sect Leader.

"So it’s an elder of the Purple Cloud Sect—long admired the great name!" Xu Yi nodded coolly towards Zhou Yuqing.

Liu Rouxin looked a bit odd at the side; what’s wrong with her master, has he taken the wrong pills?

"Mhm." Zhou Yuqing simply nodded, acknowledging the greeting.

Although her attitude seemed somewhat indifferent, Zhou Yuqing held no particular opinion of Xu Yi. She simply detested this place, and with Xu Yi being the head honcho here, his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm, that strong scent of blood on him, and the vague howling of resentful spirits behind him only intensified her discomfort.

"Fine, I agree to the Alliance."

But Xu Yi’s next words stunned Liang Yi completely. What was this knife-carrying uncle up to?

"After all, I also find that bunch of clowns from the Devouring Spirit Sect quite bothersome. Getting rid of them sooner would be beneficial for our Blood Control Sect." Although Xu Yi seemed to have agreed rather rashly, it would be a good thing for them if an alliance could be formed.

This had been a unified decision by the higher-ups of the Blood Control Sect upon learning of Liang Yi’s imminent arrival; now, he simply skipped the part where they originally intended to give Liang Yi a hard time.

As for why?

Because I fancy it!

Liang Yi looked at Xu Yi, then turned his head to glance at the indifferent Zhou Yuqing, having an epiphany!

Oh, so he’s an old lecher who’s fallen in love at first sight!

To be fair, Zhou Yuqing, with her mature lady charm, looking heroic and also carrying a hint of Charm from her time as the Vermilion Bird envoy, indeed possessed a staggering appeal.

But as the Sect Leader of the Blood Control Sect, one of the very top figures in this world, Xu Yi had seen countless women. Those who opposed him were eradicated by him, and those with no grudges or resentments did not stir his heart.

However, this time, seeing Zhou Yuqing, he truly felt something stirring.

After Xu Yi spoke those words, Liang Yi’s task panel had already popped up with a notification.

"Ding! Congratulations on completing the task [Mystical Mechanism Crisis]!"

"Congratulations on earning the task reward: Experience 10 million, fixed respect from all non-hostile forces on the continent, NPC permission level upgrade, and proximity to the Heavenly Dao."

"Then I must thank Elder Xu Yi."

Liang Yi glanced at the reward, and his heart instantly blossomed with joy. With an enthusiastic and sincere smile on his face, he thanked Xu Yi.

"No need, we each take what we need," Xu Yi replied, somewhat taken aback by Liang Yi’s sincerely happy smile.

Liu Rouxin covered her face; what an embarrassing master! Despite having repeatedly boasted in front of her, threatening to show Taoist Sect a thing or two, now he was acting like this.

Liang Yi now didn’t have time to check what exactly the task rewards were because there was another matter waiting for him to attend to.

"My master also entrusted me with a message for you: He was wrong about what happened back then."

Liang Yi made this statement with utmost seriousness, even though he himself didn’t know the specific details of that past event.

Su Youyi stood beside Liang Yi with an apologetic expression on her face. This apology shouldn’t be borne by the senior brother alone.

Xu Yi and Liu Rouxin fell silent upon hearing this.

Xu Yi hadn’t expected the proud Chen Hua to actually acknowledge his mistake, even though Chen Hua hadn’t committed a grave error in that matter, and in some sense, that incident was a favor to their Blood Control Sect.

However, only he, Chen Hua, and the remaining Supreme Elder of the Blood Control Sect knew about this matter, all other elders and disciples were kept in the dark.

"May I ask the elder to reveal what exactly happened back then?" Liang Yi took the initiative to ask, wanting to know what exactly had transpired.
