Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Ulterior Motives

"Junior Sister Pan, do you know why the Three Great Sects in the Tianhua Domain have issued a red ’Killing Order’ to apprehend those two people together?"

As Junior Sister Pan and the others were led by a young servant into an extremely luxurious private room, Brother Yuan Qing finally initiated the conversation with a smile.

"Oh, Brother Yuan, could it be that you know?"

Hearing Yuan Qing’s words, Junior Sister Pan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Sweat seeped out of her palms, but on the surface, she maintained her usual cold demeanor, forcing her tone to remain calm as she asked in return.

Yuan Qing seemed not to notice Junior Sister Pan’s unease at all and only after the servant had left, did he smile and say,

"Ha-ha, I won’t hide it from you, Junior Sister Pan. Although I, Yuan Qing, spend most of my time in the Demon Star Domain, I still have a number of acquainted friends in this Tianhua Domain, and I have vaguely heard about some recent events here."

He paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "It is said that the two individuals who are being hunted are suspected of killing Xiahou Rui, the young mistress of the Xiahou family, and it seems that Jiang Yu, the top disciple of the Joyful Union Sect, also suffered at the hands of one of them during the incident in the Wind Forest Valley Secret Realm."

"What? Brother Yuan, are you saying that woman Xiahou Rui was killed by those two?"

Junior Sister Pan’s pupils shrunk to a line, and her heart sank deeply at that moment.

As the direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect from the Demon Star Domain, Junior Sister Pan was well aware how significant Xiahou Rui’s death was, given the Xiahou family’s status in the Tianhua Domain.

It could be said without exaggeration that unless a representative of that sect personally intervened, the Xiahou family would never compromise with anyone in the Kunlun Xuan Realm!

Thinking about the potential dangers that person might face in the future, Junior Sister Pan had her grievances in the past, but at that moment, any such thoughts had vanished from her mind, leaving only concern.

Indeed, the young woman currently referred to as Junior Sister Pan by Yuan Qing and Senior Sister Yang was none other than Pan Tingting, who had parted ways with Zhu Fei quite some time ago!

When the barrier of the Kunlun Xuan Realm was connected to the Mortal World, the Poison Immortal, who was the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and now Pan Tingting’s mentor, happened to pass through the United States and incidentally came across Pan Tingting.

She admired Pan Tingting’s talents and forcibly took her to the Kunlun Xuan Realm, accepting her as her direct disciple.

And the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, in the whole Kunlun Xuan Realm, ranks among the ten top first-rate sects, on par with the Taixuan Sect, Joyful Union Sect, and other sects of the Tianhua Domain.

However, their power was not located in the Tianhua Domain but in the Demon Cultivators’ gathering place within the Demon Star Domain.

Now, under the Sect Leader’s orders, she, along with Yuan Qing and Yang Qian, had come to the Tianhua Domain to attend the Kunlun Auction held here, yet unexpectedly, she heard news regarding Zhu Fei.

For Pan Tingting, who had not seen Zhu Fei for a long time, this should have been a surprising and joyful matter, but the current plight of Zhu Fei caused her heart to tighten.

Seeing Pan Tingting’s eyes filled with shock and uncertainty, Yuan Qing’s gaze flickered slightly as he continued to nod and smile, saying,

"That’s right, Xiahou Rui was indeed killed by one of them. However, I’ve heard that those two people are actually one and the same, merely using some sort of secret disguise device."

"What? Brother Yuan, are you saying that the two people on the notice are actually the same person?"

Pan Tingting was shocked once again.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself for this, upon hearing Yuan Qing’s reply, a few traces of anxiety still couldn’t help but flicker in her eyes.

"Junior Sister Pan, don’t you think you’re getting a bit too concerned about this? As our master’s direct disciple, no matter who killed Xiahou Rui, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with you, does it? I hope you haven’t forgotten the teachings of our master from back then."

At this point, Yang Qian, who had been sitting to the side, could no longer hold back and spoke up.

She stared intently at Pan Tingting, and her tone gradually became stern.

"I heard that when master first brought you back, you seemed to be from the Mortal World of Earth, and now you’re so concerned about the wanted Zhu Fei. Could it be that this person once had some sort of intimate relationship with you?"

Yang Qian’s words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly cooling down Pan Tingting’s originally anxious mood.

She took a deep breath, and her expression returned to her usual indifference as she gently shook her head and said,

"Senior Sister Yang, I think you might be mistaken. I’m just finding the matter a bit unbelievable, that’s all. I hope you don’t overthink it."

After speaking, Pan Tingting immediately stood up, gave a slight bow to the two of them, and said, "Please, continue your conversation. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to go rest now."

With that said, Pan Tingting didn’t wait for a response from the two; she turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

She knew that she had to temporarily avoid these two people now.

Both were the direct disciples of Poison Immortal, and they were very clear about the Poison Immortal not allowing her to have any contact with male cultivators.

She knew the principle that more words meant more mistakes, and even though her recent performance had exposed certain things, as long as she acted normal going forward, even if they were suspicious, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

Her only remaining worry was whether her recent reaction could implicate Zhu Fei?

If the Ten Thousand Poison Sect also joined the hunting of Zhu Fei...

At that thought, Pan Tingting’s heart couldn’t help but shiver intensely.

She bit her lip, her beautiful eyes gazing deeply into the distant horizon, silently saying to herself, "Zhu Fei, you must not have any kind of trouble. I will always wish you well."

...

Inside the private room, Yuan Qing watched the direction in which Pan Tingting had left and couldn’t help but smile with profound meaning.

He turned to Yang Qian and said with a hint of significance, "Senior Sister Yang, do you now understand the meaning behind my earlier actions? Master sent us to the Tianhua Domain under the guise of attending the Kunlun Auction, but in reality, it was to investigate that kid named Zhu Fei. It seems now that the situation is indeed not simple."

"Hehe, Brother Yuan is clever, finding out certain things without stirring the waters, unlike me, who can’t hold my breath the moment I come across any discoveries."

Yang Qian let out a light "giggle."

"Hehe," Yuan Qing chuckled and replied, "Heh, you’re not bad either. It’s just that sometimes, we need to understand how to grasp a person’s psyche."

"Zhu Fei is greatly useful to master, a tool to control that woman Pan Tingting, so we must really be cautious with this matter. It would be best if we could capture him ourselves, then present him to master. I’m sure master would not let us go unrewarded."
