"Although Mr. Song’s martial arts are unparalleled, the Snow God Mountain is not suitable for you."

This was a rejection.

Within a day, rejected Li Yuan and also rejected Song Que.

Hehe~

Song Que stood with his hands behind his back, not annoyed, simply asked: "Why?"

"Life and death are unpredictable. If you die, the consequences would be too great... I think Mr. Song understands this point."

Having painstakingly solidified the power struggle within the Li Family Clique, Sui Yi did not want another leader of a Gate Valve to fall in the Western Regions. Although this Song Que seemed formidable in the words of Gong Jiu and others, almost invincible, and among the many peerless masters of the Great Tang, he was the most carefree, lacking Shi Zhixuan’s turmoil, Ning Daoqi’s benevolence for the world, and Fu Cailin’s heavy sense of national duty.

Though he controlled the Song Clan, he always came and went as he pleased.

This is what carefree means.

Song Que pondered a bit, roughly grasping that Sui Yi had some special secret with those people, much like Shi Zhixuan became somewhat eccentric after visiting the Western Regions...

He was curious, but he couldn’t ignore the current internal and external crises.

"If that’s the case, if you need any help, feel free to mention it..." Song Que said this, and suddenly added, "For instance, the evil essence of the Evil Emperor’s Relic in you that’s hard to eradicate—if it needs He’s Jade to resolve, I don’t mind helping you seize it... Together, even if that bulldog comes, it’ll be useless."

Sui Yi paused, then said: "Actually, Mr. Song just wants to fight with Hermit Ning, looking for an excuse."

Song Que nodded: "Exactly."

Hehe~ Truly carefree, didn’t get to fight Fu Cailin, feeling unsatisfied?

Actually, in this matter today, Dongying was defeated, and the Demon Sect’s three branches did not win.

The biggest victor was the Western Regions, followed by Li Shimin.

As for Sui Yi, it’s half and half,

Song Que did not discern much concern in Sui Yi’s demeanor regarding the Hell’s Wan Ge; was it indifference?

Logically, Hell’s Wan Ge should be more important than Wei Zhenzhen, so why the contrary attitude?

Of course, at the level of Song Que and Sui Yi, with their respective statuses and powers reaching the upper echelons of this world, no one could make them uncomfortable, which in turn fostered their lofty bearings.

This kind of bearing, Song Que naturally possessed, as did Sui Yi.

In such a conversation between these two high-ranking individuals, unnecessary words were excessive, and what needed to be said did not need to be said because both understood what could and could not be spoken.

Hence, silence ensued.

However, these two were not afraid of silence. Even in silence, there was no awkwardness, just one looking at the rune-covered altar and the other at the moonlit sky...

After a while, the moonlight was cold, and Song Que spoke.

"Who was the person that appeared in the Mirage before?"

Sui Yi’s gaze remained steady, simply responding: "Uncertain."

Uncertain?

Which means there’s speculation, but it cannot be confirmed?

Song Que discerned the subtlety in Sui Yi’s words, thus he asked no more, stepped forward, and disappeared into the darkness, the wind chilly, as if he had left?

Suddenly!

Swish!

A sharp blade sliced through the cold wind.

Sui Yi extended his hand, smack! A sword fell into his palm, cold to the touch; his fingers tilted, and Sui Yi planted the sword into the ground.

Heavenly Cluster Cloud.

"The Demon Master was killed, the Heavenly Cluster Cloud was seized. No matter what, the Dongying Mu’s Mansion will not let this rest, and the most dangerous scenario would be the Onmyoji Abe Harumi coming to the Central Plains..."

Song Que looked at Sui Yi: "I’ll hold onto this sword for you, if you find it appropriate."

With the sword in someone’s possession, Abe Qingming would go after them first. Sui Yi, already entangled with matters in the Western Regions, would be further burdened if an Onmyoji Abe Qingming was added; hence, Song Que could take on this trouble, for he feared no Abe Qingming, even quite eager to confront them.

However...

This sword ultimately was a trophy Sui Yi obtained by slaying the Demon Master, so its disposition awaited Sui Yi’s decision, thus Song Que tossed the sword back.

Sui Yi caught the sword, flicked his hand, and the sword flew back.

"Please, Mr. Song, fend it off for a while for me, until I return from Snow God Mountain..."

Song Que smiled, indeed Sui Yi possessed an Exquisite Heart, with a manner he quite favored.

One should know that if it were someone else, they might hesitate, afraid to trouble him; but not Sui Yi. She knew he wanted to confront Abe Qingming, not just for personal battle intent, but as a contest between the Central Plains and Dongying. Although Sui Yi could also take this on, everyone under the heavens now knew she was not a Central Plains person, thus such a fight held no significant meaning for her. Additionally, being both Great Grandmasters, they trusted each other’s strength, which was the greatest form of respect.
