BXBX NOVEL Chapter 417 An Imposter Arrives
Outside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, at the Eon Firmament Mountains where the Mo Clan is located;
Xue Qianxue was looking serenely as she hugged a baby in her bosoms; this baby is a baby boy and is the result of her union with Ji Yuan.
She was singing a baby lullaby to her baby while muttering at the same time, "We shall wait for your father to return from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth before giving you a name, what do you say about it?"
When she had thought of Ji Yuan, she was sighing melancholy. "I wonder how he is doing in there? I hope that he will be safe. As long as he is safe, it doesn\'t matter if he is struck at the lower levels of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth…"
"Alas, Feiyue, Little Princes and Qianfeng, you may have the chance to go with Ji Yuan into the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth but all of you won\'t be able to regroup so easily and even if you do, the trials will separate you soon after. Only at the highest level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth will you all be able to meet permanently…"
Again she was melancholy, "Jiajia, you are still in the Dream Trial. I hope that you will be able to overcome it soon. You\'ve already been inside far longer than we have been expecting. Ji Yuan can\'t lose you…"
"Sister Qianxue." A heavenly voice called out and Fairy Ye Chengxi had suddenly entered her bed chamber and she was accompanied by Shangguan Yan who greeted her as well.
Shangguan Yan smiled, "Sister Qianxue must be thinking of our lord Ji Yuan."
Xue Qianxue nodded with a lovely smile, "Indeed I am. I was just thinking that he will be so lonely inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and moreover there will be many powerful cultivators inside to compete with him. I am…just a little anxious."
Shangguan Yan answered with a soft sigh, "Our lord will be alright. He always has a trump card or two hidden in his sleeves."
Fairy Ye Chengxi bit her lips, "I hope so."
Xue Qianxue smiled, "It seems that Sister Chengxi is even more anxious than me."
Fairy Ye Chengxi sighed softly, "How can I not be anxious? My old master can be very stubborn at times. That is his weakness."
Xue Qianxue giggled, "Actually he has many weaknesses."
Fairy Ye Chengxi seemed to have lit up immediately as she smiled all of a sudden, "Indeed. He always likes to imagine himself as the perfect MC in the cultivation stories but he is actually imperfect."
"Sister Chengxi, you should stop addressing our lord as our old master now. He is your lord now." Shangguan Yan reminded her.
Fairy Ye Chengxi smiled, "It is an old habit that is hard to get rid of."
Shangguan Yan smiled before she added, "Once I took a quick look at those cultivation stories that our lord is reading and I could not read further into it. All the MCs are supposed to be saviors but yet they all resort to lying to obtain their objectives without any consequences to their souls. How can they even overcome their life and death tribulations when all of them act like a liar constantly?"
Xue Qianxue chuckled, "That is why I don\'t read such cultivation stories either. It is too unrealistic."
Fairy Ye Chengxi smiled, "Old master…I mean our lord is different. He is never a liar. He is a true gentleman of the sword."
"Agree!" Xue Qianxue and Shangguan Yan giggled softly at the same time.
Xue Qianxue said with more giggles, "When he dropped into my bathtub at that time, he is so honest that he blurted out all his intentions to me."
This brought more laughter to Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan.
Fairy Ye Chengxi giggled, "He even calls himself Yuan Ji…"
"And yet his body mannerism is actually the same as his real identity Ji Yuan." Shangguan Yan face-palmed herself with more chuckles.
Xue Qianxue giggled and her cuteness level increased, "But no matter what, he will be alright. I mean his stealth ability is unsurpassed. He can even climb up to my rooftop when I was bathing without my knowing."
Shangguan Yan nodded, "Brother Ji Yuan can conceal himself in the same room as Hai Sheng and I before killing him with his sword."
As she called him Brother Ji Yuan, her countenance was flushing because Ji Yuan had allowed her to call him Brother Ji Yuan as it was more intimate.
Fairy Ye Chengxi nodded, "I always thought that he is boasting to us when he says that he can even kill the leader of the Black Hand Guild who is a saint while old master is only at the sixth realm golden supremacy level. It is only when Little Princess shared with me then I have realized he is not lying at all."
Xue Qianxue sighed softly, "At first I\'ve thought that he is afraid of Feiyue and I that he went for his breakthrough. But the truth is…"
"The truth is, he just want to be a saint so that he is able to negotiate his position better with the two of you." Shangguan Yan smiled. "My master can turn invisible if he wants to and he often says, against the honorable, I will be honorable but against the villainous, I can be despicable as well."
That was the truth.
At that time Ji Yuan had no real animosity against Ling Feiyue or Xue Qianxue. Rather, he had thought that he had greatly offended them so he was trying to breakthrough to the saint level to better negotiate his position with them rather than confronting them.
The truth was, he was not really afraid for himself but for his sect. So in order not to drag his Orthodox Sword Sect into the shit hole that he had dug himself, he had decided to enter seclusion so that his crisis would just turn into a personal vendetta.
And he hoped that with time, Xue Qianxue and Ling Feiyue would quickly forget about him or make new enemies.
Moreover he was just looking for an excuse to leave the Five Heavens Peaks too so that he could be a parasite in Saint Xiao Muhan\'s richer spiritual mountains where he could enjoy free wines.
Xue Qianxue nodded, "Even though he can\'t win us in a fair fight but if he really wants to ambush us, he may have an advantage. If he can\'t win, he can surely run."
Shangguan Yan and Fairy Ye Chengxi nodded too as they recalled how Ji Yuan had turned himself completely invisible to the desolate beasts before he plucked the Millions Suns Sage to get rid of the desolate beasts\' threat to the Five Heavens Peaks.
Fairy Ye Chengxi had suddenly turned solemn, "Sister Qianxue, actually we have come to inform you on something."
"Oh?" Xue Qianxue asked curiously. "What is it?"
Fairy Ye Chengxi promptly said, "There seems to be an Ascend Celestial who has suddenly popped up around here…"
"Ascend Celestials may be rare but they do pop up occasional. Do I need to know about this?" Xue Qianxue interrupted with a giggle.
Fairy Ye Chengxi said with a hesitation, "There is something weird about her."
"Oh?" Xue Qianxue said.
"She claims she is Ji Yuan\'s consort and she insists on going to the Five Heavens Peak where the Emperor Hall Sect is and keeps asking if this is the Desolate Celestial Fraternity." Fairy Ye Chengxi said weakly.
This time Xue Qianxue was startled, "But Ji Yuan has never been to the mortal realm. Is she making up stories? Or is she just Ji Yuan\'s fangirl who is trying to get close to him?"
Fairy Ye Chengxi shook her head, "She is obviously an Ascend Celestial because we saw her descending from the heavens when we are taking a stroll and moreover, if she is an outsider then the Mo Clan will be alerted immediately. You know that you can only fly to the Eon Firmament Mountains here and she has no mount too."
Shangguan Yan added, "We didn\'t tell her yet that we are actually the Palace Mistresses of the Emperor Hall Sect. We\'ve only shared that this is the Eon Firmament Mountains and is the Mo Clan as we do not know if she is lying to us."
Xue Qianxue muttered, "This is indeed very strange."
Shangguan Yan continued, "This is not the strangest thing. She has a golden robe, an obvious profound treasure that is more precious than most divine swords. And moreover she has two heaven-step divine swords with her. We didn\'t know our lord has such a rich consort."
"So we need your help to check her out." Fairy Ye Chengxi said.
Xue Qianxue giggled, "I shall interrogate her then. No one can lie past this great saintess here. Moreover Great Patriarch the Diviner Mo Ming is here too. With a little divination, we shall know if she is telling the truth."
"There is something that you must know too." Fairy Ye Chengxi weakly said.
Xue Qianxue giggled again, "What is it? She is probably a liar. You are worried that I can\'t expose her lies?"
Fairy Ye Chengxi turned to look hesitatingly at Shangguan Yan before she answered Xue Qianxue, "She says she is carrying Ji Yuan\'s child."
Xue Qianxue: …
Xue Qianxue: …
Xue Qianxue: …
She immediately cursed softly, "Her lies are getting more and more outrageous. If I don\'t teach her a lesson then I am not Xue Qianxue the Sacred Maiden of the Celestial Orthodox Sect."
All of a sudden a burst of golden light was suddenly infusing into the room before disappearing.
Xue Qianxue was greatly startled.
Fairy Ye Chengxi saw her startled expression, "Sister Qianxue, what is it?"
Xue Qianxue giggled jovially, "It seems that our Sister Jiajia has returned from the Dream Trial now and from this light, it seems that she has a great success. Very well then, leave it to Jiajia and I to expose this liar. So what is this faker name?"
Shangguan Yan answered, "Qiu Xiuyu."
