Chapter 2079: Mastermind Behind the Scenes (2)

For that instant, Huang Yueli felt as if the blood in his body was going to freeze as he subconsciously wanted to escape quickly.


But right at the moment of that flash of lightning, he nimbly distinguished that something was amiss with the sound made by Chi Xiao Jiu's sword.


Therefore, he managed to control himself in time as he remained in a motionless position.


As expected, the next moment, a deafening cat cry sounded, "MEEW– !!!"


After which, a spotted cat ran from the corner of the wall as it escaped quickly.


Chi Xiao Jiu pressed his sword while frowning and said, “So it was just a cat..”.


When Ling Qing Yu saw that, she also sighed in relief, “So, I was too anxious. This place is very quiet and the surroundings are filled with weeds so normally there will be no one passing through this place so let's be clear here.”


Chi Xiao Jiu returned his sword to its sheath, "It's okay."


Huang Yueli noticed that the two of them did not leave and continued to look left and right, to realize that there was absolutely no way she could leave. His hiding place was considered somewhat secluded and as long as the two of them accidentally walked over, they probably wouldn't find him, however, if they made a move, his whereabouts would definitely be revealed.


Fortunately, both of them seemed to have a burden on their minds and did not examine the surroundings carefully.


After Chi Xiao Jiu was in his place, he immediately opened his mouth, "This time we have not managed to return the Purified Branch, how did you prepare to explain to that Master?"


That master?


... Who are they talking about?


Looks like Ling Qing Yu and she came to bid for the Purified Branch, not for themselves, but for the mastermind behind the scenes?


Ling Qing Yu's tone was downcast as one could tell that her emotions were extremely frustrated, “What else can we do? We can only explain it as it is! But, you also know that Master is angry, if he blames this on us..." As he spoke, he completely shuddered uncontrollably, "I also don't know what I should do!”


Chi Xiao Jiu's tone of voice was also melancholic, “If I had known earlier, sixteen years ago, we shouldn't have cooperated with him! Now that he has us in control, we are already tied to the same boat as him and once we don't listen to him, he will definitely uncover everything that has happened back then and then, and then, he said, our reputation will be ruined!”


Ling Qing Yu also frowned, “What's the point of saying all this now? You better think carefully about what we should do next! I wonder why the Blue Profound Sect suddenly appeared, and also put in so much money to buy the Purified Branch! If another Sect buys it, we can still find a way to get it back, but...it must be the Blue Profound Sect!”


Chi Xiao Jiu's face was grim as he spoke, “What about the Blue Profound Sect? Isn't it better because it's the Blue Profound Sect?”


Ling Qing Yu shook her head, “Is the Blue Profound Sect that easy to deal with? You should have heard that Mu Chengying had exited his closed door some time ago.”.


His words were not finished yet when interrupted by the cold laughter of Chi Xiao Jiu.


“Heh, this master finally understood, Mu Chengying has already come out of his closed door so your heart is beginning to waver, right?”


Ling Qing Yu became dazed and soon after, her expression became ice-cold, "Master Chi Palace, what do you mean by this?"


Chi Xiao Jiu laughed out loud, “Why bother pretending in front of this Master? Do you really think that I do not know, the reason why you were willing to cooperate with that Master back then, to personally hurt Huang Yueli, who was like your siblings, wasn't it all because....in Mu Chengying's eyes, there was only him?”
