Chapter 801: ‘Honest’ Nonsense

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Ping Yang gazed at Lin Mubai calmly, only to reveal a hint of desolation in her eagerness.
Everyone was envious of her ever since she was born into the royal family. She lived a luxurious life without ever worrying about food or shelter, and she was even the most beloved child of the emperor of Great Xia Dynasty.
Despite all that, she had always suffered from the pain of losing her loved one.
She had never enjoyed the company and love of her mother ever since she was young. Worse still, she had never seen or talked to her mother before.
However, now that she knew about her mother’s whereabouts and had a chance to see her, she suddenly discovered that she was the cause to her mother’s disappearance.
Death?
Ping Yang wasn’t afraid of dying!
The problem was that she couldn’t even see her mother once even if she died. Her pain and suffering were only known to those who had been in the same situation before.
“Ping Yang, don’t be worried. It is impossible to seal someone with another person’s life. Don’t… Don’t be deceived by Cang Yue…” Lin Mubai understood Ping Yang’s thoughts from her expression.
“It’s not your life, it’s your bloodline! Although I was too lowly to witness the process of sealing my master, I am certain about it! You are the only person capable of sealing my master!” Cang Yue interrupted Lin Mubai.
“Bloodline?” Ping Yang turned towards Cang Yue.
“That’s right, only a related bloodline could be used to establish the seal, and the seal could only be broken by severing the connection between the bloodlines. Since you know the truth now, what do you plan to do?” Cang Yue replied coldly.
“What… What do I plan to do…” Ping Yang seemed depressed and confused.
What was she going to do under such circumstances? Was there anyone who could tell her what to do? How was she supposed to decide between life or death!
Ping Yang was at a loss for words.
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower also chose to remain silent. Although they hated Ping Yang, they could sympathize with her pain, that she couldn’t see her mother even if she died.
Qian Ye didn’t say a word either. She seemed to be waiting for something to happen, and so did Fang Zhengzhi.
However, they were waiting for different reasons.
“If you didn’t become a Sage, master could still be released after you become 100 years old. But….Why did you become a Sage? Why could you become a Sage even though you are talentless?!” Cang Yue sounded like she was in pain.
“You’re right… Why… Why did I become a Sage?” Ping Yang looked up at the sky in a daze.
At this moment, she finally realized why Cang Yue appeared when she was on the verge on death six months ago, but her mother didn’t.
Similarly, she also understood why Cang Yue wanted her dead so badly, and why she kept forcing her to change her name again and again.
As her mother’s servant, Cang Yue hated Ping Yang. However, she could never kill Ping Yang personally. No matter how strong her hatred was, she had to do her job as a servant.
The only thing that Ping Yang couldn’t understand was how fate could be so cruel?!
She entered Ling Yun Tower and waited for a whopping six months, only to find out that she had to kill herself to save her mother.
“Can’t I see my mother even if I died? Even… Even if I died?!” Ping Yang clenched her fists tightly as her tears started flowing out. She was unwilling to accept her fate, because it felt like a knife stabbing her heart. The pain was so immense that she was trembling and unable to hold herself together.
At this moment, she felt a hand on her shoulder. The hand moved up her tender face and wiped her tears away.
Even though it seemed frivolous, Ping Yang didn’t react at all. That was because she couldn’t sense any disrespectfulness in his eyes. All she felt was his love.
“Everyone thought that I would die half a year ago, but aren’t I still alive?” Fang Zhengzhi said seriously.
“But…”
“I know that this isn’t the same thing. However, couldn’t we treat both of them similarly, given how slim the chances are in both cases?”
“Shameless, I…”
“Do you trust me?”
“I… I trust you!” Ping Yang hesitated, but she eventually nodded her head.
“Alright, do you trust me if I tell you that there is another person in the world, apart from you, who shares the same bloodline as your mother?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled at Qian Ye as he said that.
“Another person?” Ping Yang trembled.
“How could there be another person? Ping Yang is my master’s only child!” Cang Yue scoffed at Fang Zhengzhi.
However, Qian Ye trembled when Fang Zhengzhi said that and even her hands moved.
Although it wasn’t obvious, Fang Zhengzhi noticed it, and he was delighted to see that.
If Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t certain about it previously, he was now at least 50% sure that he guessed it correctly.
“You aren’t wrong to say that Yu Er only has one child, but she still has a servant, doesn’t she?” Fang Zhengzhi held his sword tighter and left a minor cut on Cang Yue’s throat.
“What do you mean?” Said Cang Yue with her eyes wide open.
“How do you sign a master-servant contract?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.
“Obviously with mine and my master’s blood… Are you saying that I am related to my master’s bloodline as well?” Cang Yue’s expression changed.
She wasn’t alone. Lin Mubai and the disciples on the ground were equally shocked to hear that.
“Cang Yue?”
“Is she…”
The disciples kept their heads low, but their bodies were obviously shaking.
Lin Mubai was shaking like a leaf, murmuring, “Is Cang Yue related to Yu Er by blood? That’s it….Since Cang Yue is Yu Er’s servant, they must have signed the master-servant contract with their bloods. In that case, Yu Er’s blood must be flowing in Cang Yue’s body as well!”
“So, what do you plan to do?” Fang Zhengzhi directed his question at Cang Yue as he stopped Ping Yang from saying a word.
“What do I plan to do?” Haha… You’re right, I’m related to my master by blood. However, Ping Yang is definitely the one who sealed her, not me. This is because Ling Yun Tower teaches its disciples to cut off all emotional attachments, so I couldn’t possibly be the one!” Cang Yue quickly rebutted after a short pause.
“Oh yeah? Are you sure about that?”
“Of course, I’m sure!”
“Do you really think that Leader Lan wanted Yu Er to severe all her emotional attachments? If she wanted that, why would she help to cover the fact that Yu Er was pregnant? Furthermore, why would she pass the leader’s position to Yu Er after she conceived Ping Yang?” Fang Zhengzhi asked again.
“That’s obviously because my master is the top in Ling Yun Tower both in terms of strength and talent, so she’s the best candidate!” Cang Yue replied.
“According to Ling Yun Tower’s way of cultivation, how could she be the strongest and most talented if she couldn’t even severe her emotional attachments?
“You… You are distorting the truth!”
“Fine, let’s say that I’m distorting the truth. However, according to your words, Leader Lan should have been very disappointed in Yu Er back then, right?”
“That’s because my master…” Cang Yue couldn’t finish her sentence.
“If she was disappointed in Yu Er, why would she give her half of ‘Ling Yun Realm’?”
“How… How do you know that my master has the other half of Ling Yun Realm?!” Cang Yue was shaken to her core.
“Isn’t that very obvious? Since ‘Ling Yun Realm’ is Ling Yun Tower’s most guarded treasure that is controlled by its leader in every generation, it doesn’t make sense for it to be damaged. In that case, the only possible explanation is that Ling Yun Realm was originally passed down to Yu Er, but Qian Ye snatched a part of it away!” Fang Zhengzhi said that as if it was the truth.
“What?! Snatched it!”
“Of course! Furthermore, if I’m right, it wasn’t Leader Lan who sealed Yu Er. It was Qian Ye!”
“It was Qian Ye?! Leader…” Cang Yue couldn’t believe Fang Zhengzhi.
“…”
“Lies! Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you insult my reputation!” Qian Ye finally responded as she charged towards Lin Mubai.
As one of the strongest people in the Holy Region, she was obvious unquestionably powerful. She was already behind Lin Mubai in an instant and engulfed him with the golden light.
Qian Ye was unleashing her powerful aura.
Lin Mubai turned pale as a sheet in no time. Although he was in Rebirth State, he was like a defenseless baby against Qian Ye.
“Father!” Shouted Ping Yang as Lin Mubai kneeled onto the ground with a hand grabbing his shoulder tightly.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I’m giving you one last chance. Release Cang Yue and take Ping Yang and Lin Mubai away. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind killing both of them even if I can’t kill you!” Said Qian Ye coldly as a golden radiance flashed in her eyes.
“Haha, fine. I’ll exchange Cang Yue for the emperor. However, you have to release the emperor first since he is injured. I can’t trust you otherwise!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded calmly while he stopped Ping Yang from charging towards her father.
Qian Ye was startled as she didn’t expect Fang Zhengzhi to accept the trade so easily. She then glanced at the disciples around her and loosened her grip.
“Move!” Qian Ye yelled coldly.
Lin Mubai stood up slowly with blood coming out from the corner of his mouth. Trembling, he slowly walked towards Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.
Fang Zhengzhi raised his Traceless Sword slightly and said, “If I was right that Qian Ye snatched the Ling Yun Realm and sealed Yu Er, then she couldn’t possibly seal her with Ping Yang’s blood!”
“Do you think that I would be convinced by your baseless allegations?” Said Cang Yue.
“That’s up to you, since I’m merely stating the fact. Think about it, Chen Feihua was already going to take Ping Yang back to Great Xia Dynasty when Yu Er was sealed. In that case, what are the chances of Ping Yang surviving?”
“I wouldn’t believe you even if your story is flawless!” Cang Yue sounded determined.
“If I was Qian Ye, I wouldn’t have sealed Yu Er with Ping Yang’s blood, because that was too risky. If something went wrong and Yu Er escaped, everyone would know that I snatched the Ling Yun Realm and framed Yu Er in order to become the leader.”
“Shut up!”
“Hence, it’s much safer to use your blood. Firstly, since you are always in Ling Yun Tower, she could guarantee your safety. Secondly, Ping Yang wasn’t a Sage, so her lifespan was limited, and she would die after 100 years under normal circumstances. However, you are a Sage, so you could live as long as Yu Er. The seal would only last long if your blood was used!”
“…” Cang Yue didn’t say anything, because she knew that Fang Zhengzhi would keep taking anyway.
In that case, she could only bite her lips and let him go on.
Just as Cang Yue had expected, Fang Zhengzhi continued without her reply, “Do you think that Qian Ye might have killed Leader Lan as well?”
“Fang Zhengzhi, you’re digging your own grave!” Qian Ye finally burst out with rage. She didn’t care about exchanging hostages anymore and charged straight at Fang Zhengzhi.
