“Why couldn’t it be fully translated?”
Hong Yuye took the scroll and looked at it.
“I don’t know why, but they can’t see the content clearly. Even if they do, it…
changes. Maybe because of the limitation in their cultivation realm…”
After looking at the original Heaven Lock text for a while, Hong Yuye picked up the translation.
Finally, she closed the book. “It’s completely wrong.”
Baizhi was surprised.
She had also tried to translate it but found it challenging to understand.
It seemed like something was preventing her from viewing it.
She thought it was because of the Heavenly Script, but it appeared that wasn’t the case.
Heaven Lock was far more special than she had imagined.
“Let someone else try it.” Hong Yuye gave it back to Baizhi.
Baizhi felt helpless. Who should she choose?
“Who discovered the Heaven Lock?” Hong Yuye asked softly.
“Jiang Hao,” Baizhi instinctively said, and then, she realized something.
Jiang Hao had discovered Heaven Lock and even saw it. He even understood some of the contents.
Perhaps he could truly translate the content of Heaven Lock fully.
“I understand.” Baizhi lowered her head.
She hesitated. “Jiang Hao’s discovery of Heaven Lock was probably not accidental. It might be guided by someone behind him. If we hand over Heaven Lock, will we be following that person’s intentions?”
Hong Yuye was calm. “As long as we make sure we receive a copy, that’s enough. Some things don’t need to be kept exclusive.” Baizhi understood.
With Heaven Lock, they could understand many things.
“The End of All Things has been acting secretly. They are probably looking for something. This is the second time, but it’s uncertain if it’s the same thing as last time. We have some clues on Feng Hua but finding the person is difficult,” said Baizhi.
Finally, the discussion came back to Jiang Hao.
“Jiang Hao has high merits but is embroiled in the traitor incident yet again. This time he’s been branded as a traitor, and the Law Enforcement Hall has started an investigation. However, there’s no evidence to suggest he betrayed the sect,” Baizhi said. “I’ve been paying attention to him. It seems like every time his merits are enough to take him off the suspect list, something similar happens. There’s a possibility that he wants to be trapped within the sect.” Hong Yuye picked up her teacup. “Why is that?”
“Perhaps he thinks it’s dangerous to go out, or it could be that the person behind him finds it inconvenient to act. After all, once he goes out, many people can easily target him,” Baizhi said.
It was just a guess. It didn’t matter whether it was correct or not.
Then, Baizhi left.
Hong Yuye looked up at the moonlight, and a gentle breeze swept past her.
The wind swayed her dress. Just as it settled, she had disappeared from the pavilion.
Both Baizhi and Hong Yuye were gone.
At the Cliff of Broken Hearts, a young girl stood under a tree and picked jujubes.
She appeared nostalgic. ‘It’s been so long since I last saw my parents…’
She missed the days at home.
Occasionally, she would hide some soft pastries to give to her old foster parents.
Their teeth weren’t strong, so they could only eat the soft ones. ‘No one is here to sing me a lullaby or tell me stories to help me sleep.’ Xiao Li looked down at the white jujubes in her hand sadly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, and a fragrance came with it.
Xiao Li felt delighted and looked to her side.
Sure enough, she saw a beautiful woman in red and white standing there.
“Sister-in-law! I mean… Senior Sister,” said Xiao Li.
“What are you doing?” Hong Yuye asked as she looked at the jujubes in the girl’s
hands.
“Eating jujubes. They’re very sweet.” Xiao Li wiped the jujubes clean and handed them to Hong Yuye.
Hong Yuye looked at them. Then, she accepted the jujubes.
Xiao Li smiled.
“They taste okay,” Hong Yuye said as she took a bite.
“Why not try this one? This one is very sweet.” Xiao Li handed over a jujube she had taken a bite out of.
Hong Yuye glanced at her and told her to eat it herself.
“Why can’t I call you sister-in-law?” asked Xiao Li.
Under the jujube tree, Hong Yuye looked at the night sky and sat down.
A wooden table and chairs appeared out of thin air.
Xiao Li sat down too and waited for Hong Yuye to answer her question.
“Why do you want to call me sister-in-law?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Because Senior Brother Jiang’s scent is on you, and a bit of your scent is on Senior Brother Jiang,” said Xiao Li.
“Scent?” Hong Yuye frowned. “What kind of scent is that?”
“It’s…” Xiao Li scratched her head in conflict. She didn’t know how to explain it. “It’s just like how a bit of Senior Sister Miao’s scent is on Senior Brother Mu Qi, and a bit of his scent is on her.”
Hong Yuye was silent for a while. “Is that an innate talent that you have?” Xiao Li didn’t understand.
But she didn’t mind and just told her that she had been playing with the beast lately. She even told her how important the spirit beast was to her. Because of the spirit beast, she had gotten to eat so many delicious things.
“Do you often stay with the beast?” Hong Yuye was surprised.
“Yes. After I joined the sect, I frequently followed the beast around. He has important friends, so I always get to eat a lot of good stuff.” Hong Yuye didn’t say anything.
Xiao Li finally fell asleep on the table in the morning.
The red and white figure had disappeared at some point, but a red light covered Xiao Li.
Occasionally, Xiao Li would move and murmur in her sleep. “It’s mine. I left it for Senior Brother and Senior Sister. You can’t have it, beast!”
Early the next morning, two people walked side by side on a narrow path on the outskirts of the sect.
They looked toward the direction of the Sea Fog Cave.
“Their plan failed. They should be preparing to retreat.”
“Indeed, the losses were severe. Tong Tian is dead, and MO Nian from the
Imperial City is also dead. Many others as well.”
“A lot of people don’t like the idea of us making a comeback.”
“What else can we do?”
“With Heaven Lock, who knows how much impact it will bring. Unfortunately, not just anyone can comprehend Heaven Lock.”
“It’s no longer our concern. Let’s continue to find suitable individuals.”
“By the way, it seems one of our people has been imprisoned in the Lawless Tower.”
“No worries. They know what to do, and even if they don’t, it won’t affect too many people.”
Bam!
As they spoke, a person stumbled and fell.
“Are you okay? Did you just slip?”
The man got up from the ground and sighed. “That person in the Imperial City has become stronger. It seems I need to recover as soon as possible, or I’ll die
at her hands. I sense a change in the curse, probably from the Thousand Curs Body. Human talent is truly remarkable.”
“Then, you’re in trouble. Aren’t you going to contact the person you’ve been keeping an eye on?”
“I’m considering it. He’s the top achiever. What could have happened in the Sea
Fog Cave to make him the top achiever?”
“Heaven Lock?”
“So, if I go to contact him now, it’ll be like seeking death willingly. The people from the Heavenly Note Sect are definitely watching him. I’ll hold off for now, and I’ll recover my cultivation realm a bit. Even if he reaches the early stage of the Golden Core Realm or truly advances in the Blood Wish Path, it won’t happen too quickly. It won’t affect our plans..”
