Chapter 524: Chapter 135: The Sizzling-Hot Yin Shen Palace [Ten Thousand Words]

Spent the entire afternoon pacing around in their room.

Occasionally glancing at the hour.

In the middle of the evening, why hasn’t it arrived yet... turned seven or eight hundred times, and it’s still not the time.

Finally... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The time has arrived.

A red shadow flickers, Aunt Hong descends.

With a charming smile; "Yin Sect Leader, are you ready? Let’s set off now."

...

Feifeng Tower.

The Yin Shen Palace was still hesitating before coming.

What gift should I give? When someone invites you, you can’t just arrive empty-handed, right?

But after thinking about it, he was relieved.

What can I give them?

What do I have that they would value?

So, he bought some beautiful and clean-looking Spirit Fruits from the street and went with Aunt Hong.

Southeast Commander Wu Xiang watched as the Yin Shen Palace followed Aunt Hong, with a look of envy, jealousy, and displeasure.

I want to go too.

But they didn’t invite me, didn’t even give me a glance.

Aunt Hong glanced at the Spirit Fruits in Yin Shen Palace’s hands, her eyes somewhat meaningful.

As they walked, they chatted: "Yin Sect Leader, how is the situation in the Southeast?"

"Very urgent. The situation is much more challenging than in previous years."

The Yin Shen Palace sighed, "For some reason, major figures have been making moves towards the Southeast in the past year or two. The game in the Southeast is turbulent; frustratingly, it’s not even our territory. Ever since Guardian Chief Strategist Mr. Dongfang turned his attention to the Southeast, incidents have been happening almost daily there."

The Yin Shen Palace, somewhat weary, said: "It’s overwhelming... What I mean is, every single day there’s trouble with our sects over there."

Aunt Hong smiled and said, "Where Dongfang Strategist sets his sights, it’s strange if nothing happens. But specifically?"

The Yin Shen Palace pondered and said, "To be specific: for example, our sects have been established in the Southeast for at least hundreds of years; some sub-branches in each continent are deeply rooted, and have remained hidden for so many years."

"But in the past six months, many have been eradicated successively. Such a situation has never occurred in the past decades, even hundreds of years."

Aunt Hong nodded slowly, "This is indeed noteworthy, generally such well-hidden sub-branches must have their own ways of self-preservation, and also have perfect identity disguises... For so many to be eradicated in succession, and so concentrated in time, it is indeed unusual."

The Yin Shen Palace smiled bitterly, "Yes. And Aunt Hong, you know that it is rare for our Wei Wo Zheng Sect to have traitors. Which means they were almost all eradicated by external forces... which is terrifying when you think about it deeply."

Aunt Hong nodded, "Facing the plans of Dongfang Strategist, you can only count yourselves as unfortunate. Over the years, who among the entire top echelon of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect hasn’t suffered losses because of him?"

"And sometimes they knowingly continue to suffer losses..."

Aunt Hong also sighed.

She recalled how Vice Sect Master Yan would get frustrated every time Dongfang Sansan was mentioned.

Generally, every time Dongfang Sansan schemed against Yan Nan, Yan Nan had that expression, sometimes even when he clearly guessed Dongfang Sansan’s intention, he still had to follow along.

Because he would make you realize that any other choice would be even worse.

Vice Sect Master Yan, who is in charge of sect affairs, happens to be the one most heavily schemed against by Dongfang Sansan.

This led to Vice Sect Master Yan developing a habit: whenever the words Dongfang Sansan are mentioned, he starts to become suspicious.

Just like the letter from Dongfang Sansan a few days ago, Vice Sect Master Yan held several meetings about it...

Whenever the topic of Dongfang Sansan came up, whether it’s the Guardians or people from Wei Wo Zheng Sect, they feel there is never enough to say, as if they have found a topic to bond over.

And so they chatted all the way to the entrance of Feifeng Tower.

Yan Beihan was in the room reading a book.

Constant messages were being transmitted on the Communication Jade from Aunt Hong.

These were conclusions continuously drawn from the conversation with the Yin Shen Palace.

"The Yin Shen Palace has cunning methods and is perceptive. However, he is somewhat cowardly."

"This person is a bit selfish."

"Not an enterprising type, when encountering difficulties, he instinctively retreats to self-preserve rather than advancing to overcome."

"He does have some ability. His scheming is okay."

"His overall view is average; he wants to develop but lacks determination and courage, while merely maintaining his current role leaves him unsatisfied. He doesn’t progress enough to move up, yet finds staying in the current position easy."

"..."

The messages came in one by one.

Yan Beihan read each one thoroughly.

Even before the arrival of Yin Shen Palace, she had already analyzed him inside out.

A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Muttering to herself, "Such a master, to teach a disciple like Yemo, who is lawless, is indeed extraordinary."

She continued, "Grandpa, you don’t need to come. It’s a bit too much for you to personally drink with the Yin Shen Palace."

Nearby, an old man with almost no presence was Yan Nan, who smiled faintly, "No problem, his disciple has caught the attention of Dongfang Sansan, who is keen to eradicate him. I should also understand this, having dinner together is fine. The fact that Yemo can hide from the entire sect is indeed a great skill. Such matters can’t be directly asked in a grand assembly. Even without you inviting him, Grandpa would have asked him independently. Be careful not to expose yourself later on, I’ll test if this guy can figure out my identity."

Yan Beihan replied indignantly, "You want me to act with you again."

Yan Nan chuckled heartily.

Outside, Aunt Hong’s voice sounded, "Miss, the Yin Sect Leader has arrived."

Yan Beihan said calmly, "Invite him in."

The door opened.

Aunt Hong stood solemnly by the door, "Yin Sect Leader, please."
