Star had to fulfill this condition and formally defeat Joyous.And now, the Lone Star is successful, but Luxurious Ease feels不服氣. She turns to challenge the Lone Star herself. Today is her day for the...Chapter 573: Those Matters from the Past, Part 2
"What's going on Right, I haven't asked yet. What happened" The Carefree One asked without much concern, as if he were talking about something trivial.
"You! You don’t even know what’s happening to you. My father never liked you in the first place, and that was why I didn’t bring you here back then. Now there's no way he would invite you over," Cloud Qingyi said somewhat無力地說道。
“This much, I already understand from their attitude. But they are too numerous; it’s impossible for me to resist, so I got caught by them.” The Carefree One said helplessly, even though he didn’t show any concern.
"You can't escape. He sent two god-rank elders and also stationed people nearby in case you run away. Even if you manage to evade the elders, they’ll quickly surround you," Cloud Qingyi nodded and explained. "My father wants to make sure that he catches you for certain. After being provoked by your girls, he will not let up on catching you."
Indeed, even if The Carefree One was an ordinary person now, Yun Kaitai would still be prepared. He would use every means necessary to catch him, a lesson imparted by the girls’ actions—never underestimate an enemy.
"What do you mean my girls You talking about my boss and her friends" The Carefree One asked.
“Yes, I’m referring to Solitary Star and the others. Right now, you are a hostage, to be used against them—especially Nan Gong Su, who they want gone more than ever,” Cloud Qingyi said.
"What’s going on What happened to Miss Three" The Carefree One asked in confusion.
“It looks like you don’t know about this. Let me explain…” Cloud Qingyi began to recount the war situation over the past two years and their growth.
The Carefree One listened quietly without saying a word. He was content being just an audience, as it’s best not to speak when listening to stories.
"Not bad, not bad!" After hearing her out, The Carefree One nodded in approval.
“That's all” Cloud Qingyi looked at him with some surprise. She had been observing The Carefree One and noticed that he didn’t seem particularly surprised by Solitary Star’s actions—this made her think that perhaps he already knew about it.
But she believed that The Carefree One wasn't lying and should not have known. There was no reason to hide this information, so there was no need for him to lie either.
His reaction was too calm, as if Solitary Star’s actions were expected and deserved a simple “not bad” at the end of it.
"What Oh. They’re just doing what they should be doing, nothing special," The Carefree One replied casually, confirming Cloud Qingyi's absurd thoughts.
“…”
“If that’s true, then I’m their weak point and should inform them,” The Carefree One said.
"You can't leave here right now. This is the main headquarters of Fuyun Sect; no one would let you go, even if they weren’t watching you," Cloud Qingyi pointed out. "And you don’t seem worried at all."
“Worried about what With her around, nothing can trap us,” The Carefree One smiled and patted Eater, who chirped in response.
That's right. The reason why he wasn't worried was because of Eater—wherever she goes, there’s no place that can’t be escaped from if one is slightly careless.
“What What abilities does she have” Cloud Qingyi asked in confusion; could it be that Eater has the ability to travel through time and space
"Eat!" The Carefree One replied.
“Eat what exactly” Cloud Qingyi was even more puzzled.
“She just eats, she can eat anything,” The Carefree One said with a smile. He didn’t explain further, leaving it up to her to figure out on her own.
Cloud Qingyi seemed to understand but remained somewhat unsure—could Eater really eat anything
"Have you thought of any way to solve this I don't want the situation to continue," Cloud Qingyi asked, more concerned about this than Eater's abilities.
Both sides were her loved ones; it was difficult for her if either side suffered damage. Especially like this, the grudge could grow deeper and deeper.
"The solution is for your father to let go. The Luo Family may be able to withstand the combined pressure of the Fuyun Sect and other sects, but they lack the ability to launch an offensive. In fact, this initiative lies in your father’s hands," said Xianyao with a slight frown.
That's right, the Luo Family did benefit from various favorable conditions, which allowed them to hold their ground. However, if they were to attack Fuyun Sect, it would inevitably lead to a disastrous defeat as the Luo Family doesn't have that capability.
Hence, should the Luo Family declare an end to hostilities, there wouldn’t be much of a deterrent effect; and should Fuyun Sect refuse to agree, it would still amount to nothing. Conversely, if Fuyun Sect decided to end things, even the Luo Family couldn't object since they lack the ability to continue.
"I understand this point too. But you know that at this stage, even my father wanting an end to hostilities wouldn’t be possible; the situation has gotten out of control," Yun Qingyi sighed.
Xianyao knew what Yun Qingyi was referring to. Wars often began as minor issues and might not have been related to anyone individually, but once they started, things would escalate further until one lost control over the situation. No longer could it be settled simply by willing so; someone had to suffer a defeat.
Forget about wars; even two people arguing might end up like this. At first, it might not have been an issue at all, perhaps just a difference in perspective with no right or wrong. And the matter might not have involved these two individuals but rather something trivial initiated by a passerby that then escalated beyond control.
Even if Fuyun Sect agreed now, the other sects dragged into this conflict wouldn’t agree; they would lose more than they gain and couldn't admit defeat for fear of losing face.
"If someone could hold back this situation, it might be possible to negotiate," Xianyao mused. To end both sides' war, mediation by a third party was necessary. This intermediary must be extremely powerful, capable of easily suppressing either side.
But did such a force exist
"Who could possibly hold them back Fuyun Sect has allied with five out of the top ten sects and even brought Huanyan Sect into their fold. Unless it's Xianyao Sect or Dark Sect, but Xianyao Sect wouldn't care about external affairs while Dark Sect would only make things more complicated," Yun Qingyi shook her head, almost convinced there was nothing to negotiate.
"Huanyan Sect is involved Then Miss Wang…" Xianyao felt troubled. If this were the case, what would be Miss Wang's situation
"Do you mean Wang Yanru Huanyan Sect only has a few people involved; her father isn’t one of them. They are merely declaring neutrality," said Yun Qingyi. "Other sects are similar—only parts are involved, but the number of people being drawn in keeps growing. If this continues, everyone might end up entangled and possibly lead to the Luo Family’s downfall."
"Downfall may be an overstatement; the Luo Family will only become stronger. Miss Third is sustaining war with war, making it seem like they have significant losses, but their elite forces are increasing in number and resources. Meanwhile, Fuyun Sect can't sustain this expenditure," Xianyao said.
"True… I must admit these girls are formidable—South Palace Suo’s strategy is flawless, while Guxing三人實力進展也讓人害怕，現在的孤星已經達到了神級武者的境界，並且可以輕易挑戰一個資深的神級武者。墨語與南宮素心很快也將進入神級境地，到時候任何一個門派都不是她們的對手了。”
雲青衣繼續說道：“神級武者過去一個個死去，失去了效果的話，那幾乎就是南宮素一個人的世界了。這個組合實在是太可怕了，除非能集合大量的神級武者，但神級武者都有著自己的尊嚴，不可能會群毆。”
讓扶雲派等最害怕的就是這一點，孤星四人成長的太可怕，並且配合也天衣無縫，在高階戰力和謀略上都幾乎無人能匹敵。
並且，洛家也有不少神級武者存在，隻是一直冇露麵而已。如果真的打起來的話，就算洛家輸了，但贏家也會付出慘重代價，可能會一蹶不振，失去現有的地位。
這一點也是大家都不想看到的，本來這個事情勝利也冇有多少好處，這樣拚太不值得了。所以現在的情況也很微妙，如果有轉機的話，相信也能和解。
不過扶雲派等還是覺得有機會利用逍遙來解決掉孤星她們，到時候洛家就不足為懼了。
因此逍遙就是關鍵。
“嗯，所以我纔會用我引她們過來。如果是這樣的話，她們就很危險了，我應該逃。”逍遙點頭說道。
“你能跑就跑吧。”雲青衣說，“需要幫忙的話，儘管開口。”
“不用，你如果幫我的話會露出馬腳來。”逍遙道。
“好吧，你自己小心一點。我相信他們很快就會帶你過去說話了，我跟你說了這麼久，已經是他忍耐的極限了。”雲青衣說，以她對雲開泰的瞭解，相信逍遙很快又會被帶去繼續剛纔的話題。
“你說話也彆太直接，忍一下冇事的。”雲青衣又道。
“放心吧。現在的我雖然不能說是打得過人，但是自保完全冇有問題。你父親他們弄不死我的。”逍遙笑著說。
“……”雲青衣看了逍遙一會，她有點不相信逍遙的話，因為雲開泰可是老牌神級武者，一般的神級武者還不是他的對手。加上手下還有幾個神級武者和大批聖級高手，在正常情況下要弄死逍遙應該分分鐘的事情。（未完待續）
“Indeed, that’s why I’m being used to draw them in. If this happens, they’ll be in serious danger, and I should escape,” said Xianyao with a nod.
"If you can run away, then do so," Yun Qingyi replied. "Let me know if you need any help."
"No need. If you helped me, it would reveal my tracks," Xianyao said.
"Alright, just be careful. I believe they will take you away soon to continue the conversation. We have talked long enough; he has reached his limit of patience," Yun Qingyi said. Given her understanding of Yun Kaitai, she believed that Xianyao would soon be taken for further discussions.
"Don’t speak too directly. It’s okay to endure a little," Yun Qingyi added.
"Relax. Though I may not be able to beat others now, self-defense isn't an issue. Your father and his group can’t kill me," Xianyao said with a smile.
“…” Yun Qingyi looked at Xianyao for a moment; she didn’t quite believe what he was saying because Yun Kaitai was an old-school deity martial artist, who could defeat most others easily. With his subordinates also being deity martial artists and a large number of saint-level fighters, it should be easy to eliminate Xianyao (To Be Continued).ast" Xiangyang was puzzled. Every time Edie changed, it happened very quickly, not gradually over time.The previous changes were not as pronounced as this one, growing tails and ears!"Chew chew ..." C...
