Chapter 36 - Brother's Strategy

After seeing the man off, Ye Anping returned to the lobby and lay down on the lounge chair, chewing on a piece of grass and thinking about the Seven Slayers Sect.

He now had to figure out a convenient way to tell Bai Yuexin about this in advance so that she could go back and tell the Black Star Elders to prevent the man in black from abducting Feng Yu Die.

But this was only a temporary solution; he needed something permanent.

Even if he stopped the man in black, maybe another man in red would come tomorrow, and another man in white would come the day after tomorrow... After all, the reward for Wu You's storage bag was worth 10,000 spirit stones. Such a bounty was enough to make many rogue cultivators risk their lives for it.

Ye Anping didn't worry too much about Feng Yu Die; after all, she was the main protagonist who carried the 'Mandate of Heaven,' she had strength, and now she also had the protection of Black Star, therefore she wouldn't die.

His main worry was that the Seven Slayers Sect's men, while going after her, would realize that Wu You's storage bag was not taken by her. Then, they will come for him, Pei Lianxue, and the Hundred Lotus Sect, and it would be a lot of trouble.

All the commotion was caused by the fragment of the 'Black Moon Routine'.

He was just a cannon fodder who only wanted to obtain peace of mind and live in a peaceful world with his sister, but it seemed that since they killed Wu You, a key character of the main plot, they wouldn't be able to get away from it.

"Heh--- what a pain in the ass."

Ye Anping tapped his temple with his fingers, thought for a while, and then simply decided to take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the Seven Slayers Sect in the Western Region.

Anyway, it was not a good organization. In the game, it was just a long, annoying side quest, and the rewards weren't great, so it was pointless to keep it.

But how to destroy it?

He definitely couldn't kill them. That would be a reckless move. He was only in the Qi Refining stage now and didn't have the capital to be that daring.

This was a matter of outsmarting them.

If he remembered right, the leader of the Seven Slayers Sect in the Western Region should be a late-stage Core Formation cultivator with lots of magic weapons. There were also one or two late-stage Core Formation members who actually surpassed him.

Therefore, to ensure that the Seven Slayers

"It seems that I have to play the despicable villain who sows discord between Black Star and the Seven Slayers Sect. Hmm..."

Ye Anping held his chin, thinking for a while, and an idea popped up in his mind.

It should be like when he made preparations for ten years to kill Wu You. He hastily put up a sign on the door of the physiotherapy center, "People are here, give a shout," and then he went to his bedroom to work on a plan for eradicating the Seven Slayers Sect.

Although destroying them sounded like a pretty big plan, there were only two goals that actually needed to be implemented.

---One, ignite Black Star's anger against the Seven Slayers.

---Two, lure the Black Star Sect's people to the Seven Slayers Sect's regional leader.

This was a piece of cake for him. After thinking for a while, he took out his pen and paper, drew a simple map of the Black Star Sect, and marked out the positions of several key points of its magical defense traps.

Time flies when thinking of strategies.

Not long after, the sky darkened, and Bai Yuexin returned.

After returning to the sect with Brother Chen and the others, as expected, she was immediately questioned about Ye Anping by a group of fellow disciples.

Although Bai Yuexin followed what Ye Anping said and tried her best to explain that she and Ye Anping didn't have that kind of relationship, the rumor had already spread, and it was too late to refute it, especially since it was such a juicy gossip.

After finishing her explanation, those sisters didn't ask any questions at all, they only smiled ambiguously to express their understanding.

"Is this the shop owned by your cultivation partner, Sister Bai?"

"Sister, he is not my cultivation partner. Didn't I already explain it?"T/his chapter is updatd by nv((l)biin.co/m

Bai Yuexin retorted with a frown, but the sister who asked the question just nodded with an ambiguous look, and smiled at the brother beside her. "Okay, okay, we know. You are just friends, right?"

"..."

Embarrassed, Bai Yuexin hurriedly led them into the shop and looked around for a while. When she saw that Ye Anping was not in the salon, she called out, "Anping, are you in the backyard? I brought two colleagues."

"..."

"Anping..."

Ye Anping walked into the lobby from the backyard and interrupted her. "Sister Bai, my surname is Ye."

"Come on... why are you making a fuss? Aren't we friends? I just called you by your first name instead of your last." Bai Yuexin stepped forward with a smile and handed over the gift she held. "Don't call me Sister Bai anymore, just call me Yuexin."

Behind Bai Yuexin, the two disciples watched their interaction, covered their mouths, and snickered.

Seeing the expressions on those two's faces, Ye Anping sighed softly, then greeted them as well and said, "Did Sister Bai explain about physiotherapy to you? If not, I will tell you about it."

"Let me tell you, we're here to experience it today. Sister Bai said it's helpful for cultivation, and Brother Chen also recommended it to us at the sword training today."

"Then, please come inside, what would you like to drink? I have Longjing tea and Tianquan tea here..."

"Longjing is fine."

"Same here."

The two asked for tea, and Bai Yuexin who was at the side suddenly said before Ye Anping, "Two cups of Longjing, right? I'll make it for you."

Ye Anping looked at her contemptuously and asked, "Why would you make it?"

"I'm just helping out."

"It's not like I hired you."

Bai Yuexin looked away and complained. "I'm helping for free, so shouldn't you be happy? Well, I don't want you to pay me. It's just a cup of tea. I'll make it. You do the physiotherapy for them..."

With that, Bai Yuexin ran straight to the backyard to boil water for tea.

Seeing her actions, Ye Anping felt as if he had been played, but after considering the gains and losses, he simply acquiesced.

Free labor, and just in time, the man in black from the Seven Slayers Sect would come over, so he could also use Bai Yuexin's identity as an inner disciple to solve some problems.

He shrugged and invited the young disciples brought by Bai Yuexin to the physiotherapy hall.

While he was treating those two, the man in black came as promised. He saw the sign on the door that said, "People are here, give a shout," so he gave a shout.

"Boss!!!"

"Coming, coming!!!" Bai Yuexin ran out of the back room when she heard there was a guest.

When the man in black saw that the person who came out was actually wearing a Black Star uniform, he took a deep breath. After all, he was planning to go there and cause trouble in the selection process. Seeing Bai Yuexin in this uniform was like a mouse seeing a cat.

But he soon calmed down and asked, "Isn't that little boss here? I came by this afternoon."

"Ah... the boss is treating a client. Please wait a moment for him to finish. Let me serve you a cup of tea first. Do you want to drink Longjing or Tianquan?"

The man carefully checked the details of Bai Yuexin's uniform and was surprised to see that she was actually an inner disciple with a not-so-low rank and should have been in the Black Star Sect for many years.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Is there any Vermilion Bird for sale here?"

Bai Yuexin looked confused. ''Vermillion Bird? Isn't that the Immortal Beast guarding the realm? How can it be sold?"

"Ah..." the man in black laughed a little awkwardly and said, "It's not an immortal beast. It's Vermilion Bird Tea."

Bai Yuexin tilted her head, a question mark popping above her head. "What kind of tea is Vermilion Bird Tea?"

"... If you don't have it, forget it. Just serve me a cup of Longjing."

Bai Yuexin looked at him strangely, then frowned and asked, "Are you here for physiotherapy? If not, you will be charged for tea, fifty spirit stones for a cup!"

"Fifty..." The man in black was slightly taken aback. He had lived for so many years and had never heard of a tea that could be so expensive. With an embarrassed smile, he nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here for physiotherapy... In the afternoon, I made a deal with the little boss to come and do it in the evening."

"That's great! Just wait a moment!"
