Imperial Treasure

It’s a pity that Sui Yi is someone who doesn’t show their hand and can’t be tortured, so there’s no choice but to let things be.

Bai Yu watched her head to the back mountain, not knowing where she was going.

"We’ve almost finished packing what needs to be searched... After we return, you have to come with me to cultivate."

Xiao Yu was taken aback.

Bai Yu, however, pointed to the sky.

"The sky is going to crack open, and sooner or later, there will be an interstellar war. At your level, you’ll be cannon fodder... It’s rare for me to take on a disciple who barely meets my standards, so you can’t die too early, understand?"

Xiao Yu nodded.

——————

Sui Yi appeared in the eerie, damp courtyard. It was still the same tree, the same pond, with the ground still wet, and the old house at the back still exuded a chilling cold, carrying the stench of moss...

She turned her face to look inside the house.

She flicked a strand of Qi from her palm onto the wooden wall, instantly disintegrating the already decayed boards, revealing everything inside.

A skeleton with blackened blood still clinging to some flesh, and a dazed, shabbily dressed man.

The man’s outline was vaguely familiar... broad hands, thin physique, giving off a gloomy impression at a glance.

He looked at her too.

His eyes were dark and unfathomable.

"Wang Pu," Sui Yi called his name. His eyes moved slightly, and his voice was hoarse; "I am late, and the teacher is late too. I wanted to collect my mother’s body, but I couldn’t find her... Teacher said she was burned away by those people...."

The number of bodies didn’t match the number of people from Ye Family Village; quite a few were missing, after all, those foreign methods were particularly cruel.

Sui Yi’s fingers twitched, recalling Ye Xiuling, who had been unconscious for several days, "I didn’t expect those people to strike here either, in the end, I underestimated them."

Leaving for ten years, her understanding of the current situation was inaccurate. For instance, things those people couldn’t find or wouldn’t do ten years ago, they did now.

"Can’t blame you... Teacher said, for revenge, you have to depend on yourself."

These words seemed to have deep meaning.

"So what now?" Sui Yi’s gaze fell on the remains.

"I ate him."

Wang Pu grinned, pointing to the dried blood at the corner of his mouth, "Teacher once found a scroll of evil art in that tomb. His constitution wasn’t suitable, so he couldn’t cultivate it, but I could. However, I needed to devour someone with much higher cultivation than him, who also practiced evil arts himself... This is called ’Flesh Devour’. After devouring, you form an evil body, advancing tremendously in cultivation, able to command the winds and rain, but half of you joins the Evil Path, never to be human again...."

He paused, looking at Sui Yi: "I was waiting for you."

Sui Yi frowned.

"After eating him, I felt very uncomfortable, constantly wanting to vomit. I probably won’t even dare to pay respects at my mother’s and father’s graves in the future, since she wouldn’t want to see a son who eats human flesh alive.... You know, when I was young, she always thought I was the kindest and most promising child in this village, even better than you..... But now I feel very uncomfortable, and if you can kill me, that would be my relief. If you don’t kill me, then I have to find those enemies...."

He glossed over why he ate his teacher in the end and didn’t mention how he’s been living these years. However, Sui Yi saw that he looked in his forties or fifties, suggesting some questions were unnecessary.

Sui Yi looked at him for a while and reached out, a bloody rune hanging from the eaves fell into her palm, written in ancient characters with essence blood.

——Not a single person killed, only consumed me, spare him one life, karma I repay.

The identity of the one who left this was clear, as was Sui Yi’s knowledge of this once pure-hearted young man’s intrinsic kindness, while avenging the murder of parents is an unquestioned duty, later matters... she’ll handle them later.

She fell silent, the rune burned completely in her hand, swirling in her palm, forming a golden fluid, turning into a golden ring, and landed on the precarious table after spinning a few circles. She turned and flew away.

She said nothing, but he understood.

She didn’t care about the Evil or Orthodox Sect; otherwise, she wouldn’t have let her teacher off back then. Revenge was acceptable, but it mustn’t involve the innocent.

Otherwise, she would kill him.

Wang Pu sat on the ground for a while, then struggled to stand, the flesh squirming, pain and nausea everywhere, knowing... this path would make any human tremble with fear and was far more painful than imagined.

No return road.

But when he grasped the ring... he suddenly smiled bitterly.

No matter how he changes and grows strong, she will always be Sui Yi.

At least just now, she was.

——————————

When Sui Yi returned, Pu Qinghan had awakened, still in a confused state. Gong Jiu and the others were unaware of the specifics, assuming the girl had fainted from fright. Only Gu Sansi sat down for a lengthy conversation with her... giving her several shichen to calm her nerves; after all, being a first-class actress, her emotional regulation was superb. When she saw Sui Yi again, she could calmly ask, "Can you teach me how to transform into a bird at will?"

Sui Yi: "...."

Teaching the transformation into a bird was tricky, but fortunately, the High Priest was experienced and knowledgeable, given his Primordial Spirit form. After some experimenting, Pu Qinghan gradually figured out the knack, and it took no more than a couple of days...

Real guests arrived.

A young man and woman, the woman was breathtakingly beautiful, dignified and elegant, the man was handsome... young.

Only seventeen or eighteen, and upon seeing Sui Yi, he widened his azure eyes, and a pink blush stained his angelic handsome face, as he jumped forward: "Sister, sister, do you remember the Chark to whom you once gave a panda?"

Chark? That cute little duke who looked like a panda?

My, how has he grown... so handsome after ten years!

Even someone like the Flower Demon, whose sexual orientation inclined towards women, was enamored by Chark’s beauty, while Gong Jiu referred to it as the kind of perverted obsession a thirty-something cougar would have for a young boy...

Obviously, Chark came for Sui Yi. His eyes were blinking charmingly, and as soon as he arrived, he took off his backpack and started taking out gifts one by one.

"This is for Sister, this one is also for Sister, and this one is still for Sister..."

Gong Jiu: "Wait, they’re all hers, what about ours?"

Chark: "Uh... I think they’re still on the way."

Still on the way...

On the way...

On the way...

Way...

The whole backpack he brought was for one person, and yeah, they were all handmade, obviously crafted by a certain Little Duke.

There were stone-carved small swords, jade-carved figurines, smart machines, and...

Both literary and martial skills, ideal beauty and figure...

Still young.

Even Ye Zixu felt a strong scent of hormones enveloping the Sect Master...

And yet the Sect Master seemed unaware, just smiled softly at Chark, just like back then.

"It’s Little Chark... Ah..."

Little?

Gong Jiu and the Flower Demon simultaneously glanced toward the area between those long legs.

Sect Master, foreigners develop early, eighteen years old... not that little.

Shen Ci didn’t care about the undercurrents in the house, merely smiled at Sui Yi, overlooking Su Zimu’s meaningful gaze.

She hesitated for a moment in her heart but returned with a smile.

"I delivered the person. Cao Ling is in Nation M and won’t be back for a while, so please ask Miss Sui to look after her for a few days... Her mother will probably call you as well."

With that, she was about to leave.

She didn’t want to stay in this place for too long.

The people in the house were somewhat familiar with Shen Ci, but not very much so. Mainly, in that previous incident, this woman’s behavior always seemed a bit off.

Misty and obscure, she was inscrutable, yet Sui Yi didn’t speak of her, as if the person was insignificant.

After Su Zimu sent her out, he asked, "Mr. Shen, has your illness gotten better these days?"

Shen Ci tilted her head slightly and said, "It probably won’t get better. I’m already preparing a coffin for him."

Su Zimu froze for a moment, frowning: "My condolences."

Shen Ci smiled slightly: "You’re too kind."

Then she left.

Su Zimu stood in place for a while and softly said, "The siblings are alike, yet completely different, but neither is any less of a trouble."

Peach Blossom Source... wrapped up very cleanly, not touching the Shen Family at all.

Suddenly, both Su Zimu and Shen Ci looked up at the sky. A bird flew through the air swiftly, and in a blink of an eye, it flew into the courtyard...

The Golden Crow initially darted out to catch the bird, but upon a gentle call from Sui Yi, it withdrew its attack, spiraling down to land on Sui Yi’s shoulder, while the bird landed on the branch of the big Banyan Tree in the courtyard, looking down at Sui Yi. It stretched its wings and dropped the item it was holding in its claws.

Sui Yi caught it, opened it, and took out paper as thin as cicada wings. It was a map...

She looked at it for a while, then folded the paper and held it in her hand, looking at the bird.

"Do you want to come with me or go back first?"

The bird cawed a bit.

Sui Yi checked her watch, "We’ll leave in the afternoon."

The bird tilted its head and nodded again.

Sui Yi smiled and said to Gong Jiu and the others, who had been watching intently, "Yi’s message has arrived... I’ll leave in the afternoon."

There was no intention of taking people along in her words, probably because it’s not just the Ghost Party Skeleton Society in Nation M as enemies, but also the place Yi is currently at isn’t very safe, so half-baked people like Gong Jiu couldn’t go.

Fortunately, Gong Jiu and the others weren’t oblivious. Hearing it, they had no objections, but of course, they were calculating how to stay domestically for a while and cultivate well. After all, due to previous Peach Blossom Source events, the cultivators in Central Plains were greatly weakened, still in recovery.

However, Sui Yi traveling alone was worrisome, not because they didn’t trust in Sui Yi’s abilities, just that having someone by her side is better for looking out. If Sui Yi accidentally falls into another time-space, at least someone could come back to inform them.

Everyone instinctively looked upstairs...

"I’ll go with her."

Such words floated down from upstairs.

With someone as powerful as Li Luo, she indeed is a great help, and as Sui Yi wanted Li Luo to integrate into this world, she didn’t decline.

But the biggest problem currently is...

Chark: "Sister, you’re leaving?!! I just got here... Going to Nation M? I want to go too! Because Mom and Dad are also visiting Nation M soon. My next stop was originally Nation M."
