Ye Yuâs action of untying the immortal robe almost caused Ban Xia to misunderstand him, thinking he was about to do something else. But then she reconsideredâthis robe was very likely the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothesâand so she spoke up.
Sure enough,
Ye Yu neatly folded the robe and handed it to Ban Xia.
She didnât take it, instead turning to look outside the main hall.
The six wives who had been secretly watching immediately retreated.
Well, although this was somewhat uninhibited behavior, surely the two hadnât gone so far as to allow casual onlookers.
So sometimes it was necessary to keep a low profile, at worst watching quietly.
Zhuo Lanqing was the most impatient.
Raising her hands, she formed a Dao imprint, and as she separated them, a mirage-like image appeared before her.
The projection showed the scene inside the Wuwei Tower main hall.
Bai Miaoling and Lin Miaoxue immediately cast ambiguous looks at Zhuo Lanqing.
Seems like youâre in quite a hurry.
Afraid of missing some exciting scene?
Facing such stares, Zhuo Lanqing hurriedly said, âWhat are you staring at? Iâm just worried my husband might get the short end of the stick.â
âOh, youâre worried your husband might suffer? What a coincidenceâIâm worried too. Come, come, letâs watch together!â
Zhu Die quickly stepped forward and joined the viewing circle.
Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling, seeing this, were unwilling to be outdone and also walked over.
As for Shangguan Jiujiu and Lin Miaoxue, they had long since started scrambling for good viewing spots.
The six immortal partners formed a circle, crowding close to watch the mirage projection.
No goodâwhat they expected as a thrilling show didnât appear.
Ban Xia seemed to sense their gazes.
She formed a Dao imprint with one hand,
then whispered sharply, âBreak!â
Zhuo Lanqingâs mirage projection instantly shattered.
The next moment, the Wuwei Tower main hallâs doors slammed shut.
A layer of blue immortal energy enveloped the entire exterior,
blocking all divine sense probing.
This scene made the women very displeased.
Hmph, how petty.
Whatâs the harm in just watching for a moment?
Zhuo Lanqing angrily stomped her foot, even feeling an impulse to break in.
But her reason told her not to.
If she did, the exciting show inside would surely be lost.
Better to try and listen for any sounds.
Thinking so, Zhuo Lanqing pressed gently against the door, listening carefully.
Alas, the truth wasâshe heard nothing at all.
Meanwhile,
Ye Yu looked at the tightly closed doors and couldnât help but laugh, âWas this necessary?â
Ban Xia pursed her lips slightly.
Honestly, the looks from Zhu Die, Zhuo Lanqing, and the others just now made her very uncomfortable.
If not for that,
she wouldnât have been so cautious.
Looking at the dark robe handed over before her,
Ban Xia softly asked, âIs this the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothes?â
Ye Yu didnât answer, instead injecting a trace of immortal power into it.
Illusions of the four divine beastsâAzure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoiseâappeared simultaneously, roaring toward Ban Xia.
Feeling this tangible pressure,
Ban Xia smiled slightly.
Honestly, she had never seen the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothes herself, only heard about it.
This immortal robe was renowned as a supreme garment,
offense and defense combined, with boundless power.
Rare and precious!
Ban Xia believed that once wearing it, she would no longer fear the Blissful Immortal Du Guangshou,
and could even directly eliminate him.
Problem solved!
Overjoyed, Ban Xia stepped forward to accept the robe,
but was pushed back by a mysterious force.
âWhatâs going on?â
âThe Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothes was forged by the Taichu Pavilion.
Only immortals possessing the Taichu Profound Skill can successfully wear it;
otherwise, it remains a mere ornamental pieceâwatchable but unusable.
If not, why would the Taiyan Dao treat the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothes as a mere token?â
Ye Yu cited Duan Yangfengâs words again,
giving Ban Xia a thorough explanation about the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothes.
After hearing this,
Ban Xia frowned, instinctively disbelieving, thinking Ye Yu was tricking her regarding the robe.
But after some thought, it actually made sense.
For such a supreme immortal robe, if Taiyan Dao could use it, how could it possibly have ended up outside?
Completely unrealistic!
Wait, then doesnât that mean sheâs at a loss?
Thinking this, Ban Xia wanted to explode on the spot.
But Ye Yu had anticipated this question.
He explained that he only just learned this when he went out recently.
Duan Yangfeng of Tianle Sect could vouch.
To repay a favor, he even killed an evil immortal named Cheng Daoren, who belonged to the same Three Corps Hall as youâdo you know him?â
Ban Xia was shaken deeply.
In disbelief she asked, âYou killed Cheng Daoren?â
Cheng Daoren had a great reputation in the Three Corps Hall,
carved his way out with a single immortal sword.
His strength far surpassed hers.
âYes, any problem? Was he your friend?â
Ye Yu raised his brow, puzzled.
âNo, no!â
Ban Xia shook her head, looking at the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothes in Ye Yuâs hands,
guessing the supreme robe probably contributed greatly.
That was reasonable.
After all, it was still a supreme immortal robe.
But was all her hard work helping to find someone really going to be counted as nothing?
Seeing Ban Xiaâs troubled expression,
Ye Yu spoke again, âI wonât take advantage of you.
Though you canât use the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothes,
can I substitute it with other things?
Immortal stones, immortal artifactsâanything!â
After pondering briefly,
Ban Xia said firmly, âI want you to help kill an immortal.
After that, our debts are wiped clean. How about that?â
Ban Xia had made up her mind.
Her goal in getting the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Clothes was merely to kill Blissful Immortal Du Guangshou.
Since she couldnât get it now, better to have Ye Yu do it directly.
After all, he could kill Cheng Daoren, so naturally he could kill Du Guangshou.
It shouldnât be too difficult!
Ye Yu readily agreed.
Killing to settle debts was the easiest thing.
He then said Ban Xia could lead the way # NĐŸvĐ”light # immediately,
and they would settle this matter at once.
But Ban Xia hesitated.
âNot now.
I donât know his location at the moment.
Iâll contact you once I find it!â
After saying this, Ban Xia threw Ye Yu a communication stone,
to keep in touch and honor the promise.
Then she opened the hall door and walked straight out.
Before leaving, she saw Zhu Die, Bai Miaoling, and others standing outside.
Such an array made Ban Xiaâs expression extremely strange.
Then, lightly tapping her toes,
she left the Wuwei Tower.
Zhuo Lanqing watched her leave, puzzled.
âWhy so fast? This doesnât seem like my husbandâs style.â
âFast?â
Ye Yu came out, curiously asking.â
