Chapter 0414 – Cold Snow Coquettishly Probes Hidden Information – Absolute Return

“Father, my son has a way to pull Cold Snow together!” Yang Shi said excitedly.

“Oh? Tell me.” Yang Zhentian put down the teacup in his hand and asked with interest.

“Cold Snow came here this time to investigate the deaths of the demonic sect members and the original owner of the Hundred Wine Snow Plain, and she wanted me to accompany her to meet that demonic sect’s young master.” Yang Shi said.

“Hmph, she’s trying to extract information from you, isn’t she?” Yang Zhentian snorted coldly, seeing through Cold Snow’s intentions with a single glance.

“My child also thought of this, so I plan to use the trick to get more information about the Demon Sect from her.” Yang Shi said.

Yang Zhentian nodded and said, “The fact that you can think of this shows that you have matured quite a bit. However, you must remember that Cold Snow is not that easy to deal with, do not take it lightly.”

“Child understands.” Yang Shi said respectfully.

Father and son conferred some more before ending the conversation.

After Yang Shi left, Yang Zhentian called Xia Jie into the secret room.

“You stay.” Yang Zhentian said indifferently.

Yang Shi was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he felt that his father was too suspicious, he had already reported once, why did he have to ask again? Could it be that he was so unsure of himself?

‘Father, father, can’t you trust your child a little more?’

However, the reality was completely different from what he had imagined.

After Yang Shi left, Yang Zhentian opened a secret door in the secret room and led Xia Jie inside.

This secret room, was a place that Yang Zhentian used exclusively to have secret talks with Xia Jie, and other than the two of them, no one knew of the existence of this place.

The secret room was simply furnished with only a stone table and two stone benches.

After the two of them walked into the secret room, Yang Zhentian couldn’t wait to ask, “How was it? Did you find the ‘Extreme Cold Body’?”

“Reporting back to master, my subordinate has just received news that the whereabouts of the ‘Extremely Cold Body’ has been found, and is currently on its way to be escorted, and is expected to arrive in three days.” Xia Jie said respectfully.

“Good! Good! Good!” When Yang Zhentian heard this, he was overjoyed and said three “good” words in a row.

“You’ve worked hard.” Yang Zhentian patted Xia Jie’s shoulder, his eyes filled with appreciation.

“This is all what subordinates should do.” Summer Knot lowered his head and said respectfully.

“When you bring back the ‘Extreme Cold Body’, I will definitely honor what I promised you before.” Yang Zhentian said.

“Many thanks, master!” A trace of excitement flashed in Summer Knot’s eyes as she sniffed.

“However, before that, you have to do me one last favor.” Yang Zhentian said.

“Go ahead master.” Summer Knot said.

“I need you to help me stall those people in the Demon Cult for at least three days.” Yang Zhentian said.

“Master don’t worry, those people in the demonic sect, have already been held back by Cold Snow, in a short period of time, they shouldn’t make any movements.” Summer Knot said.

“No, you’re wrong.” Yang Zhentian shook his head and said, “Just a moment ago, I sensed that that Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, came here.”

“What?!” Xia Jie was shocked when he heard this, “How is this possible? My subordinate has been guarding the outside and hasn’t found anything unusual!”

“His aura is very well hidden, if it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve practiced a special technique, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to discover it.” Yang Zhentian said, “It seems that we have all underestimated this Demon Sect Young Sect Master.”

“So what do we do now?” Summer Knot asked.

“I’ve already sent someone to inform Elder Xu, he’ll find a way to stall that Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master.” Yang Zhentian said, “What we need to do now is to seize the time and prepare for the ‘Extreme Cold Body’.”

“Subordinate understands.” Summer Knot nodded, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

“Success or failure is at stake, there must not be any slip-ups!” Yang Zhentian said in a deep voice.

“Yes!” Summer Knot bowed and led the way.

……

At the same time, Xu Luo brought a few Ice Palace disciples to Jian Wuji’s residence in a furious manner.

“Li An, are you in there?” Xu Luo stood outside the door and shouted loudly.

“Elder Xu, what can I do for you?” Li An opened the door to his room and asked suspiciously.

“Where is the Young Sect Master?” Xu Luo asked.

“The Young Prelate is resting.” Li An said.

“Nonsense! I received news that the Young Sect Master left his residence without authorization!” Xu Luo snorted coldly, clearly not believing Li An’s words.

Li An Xin thumped in his heart, he knew that the matter of Jian Wuji going out privately had been revealed.

“Elder Xu, you must be mistaken, the Young Sect Master is resting in his room right now, if you don’t believe me, go in and take a look.” Li An said with forced composure.

With that, he tried to close the door of the room, but was grabbed by Xu Luo.

“Unbridled! You dare to stop me from carrying out my official duties?” Xu Luo shouted angrily and shook Li An back a few steps with a palm.

“Elder Xu, what are you doing?” Li An covered his chest and said with an aggravated expression.

“Cut the crap! I must go in and search today!” Xu Luo said, and with a few disciples, he forced his way into the room.

“You ……” Li An saw this and became anxious, wanting to block, but he was stopped by a few disciples brought by Xu Luo.

Xu Luo walked into the room, his eyes swept around and finally landed on the bulging quilt on the bed.

“Look, isn’t the Young Preceptor resting?” Li An pointed at the quilt on the bed and said.

Xu Luo sneered and said, “Do you think I don’t know that you’re playing a trick? There’s no one on the bed at all!”

“How could it be? The Young Sect Master is clearly right here ……,” Li An was still trying to weasel his way out of the situation, but was interrupted by Xu Luo.

“Don’t pretend! I’ve seen through your tricks!” Xu Luo said, lifting the quilt with one hand.

“!!!”

In the next moment, everyone in the room froze.

Only to see that Jian Wuji was hugging a pillow and lying on the bed, huffing and puffing.

“How is this …… possible?” Xu Luo was instantly dumbfounded, how could he not expect that Sword Wuji was actually in the room?

“Elder Xu, what else do you have to say now?” Li An looked at Xu Luo and said with a smile.

Xu Luo’s old face reddened and he stammered, “I …… I ……”

“Elder Xu, shouldn’t you give us an explanation?” Li An pressed on step by step and said unforgivingly.

Xu Luo was forced speechless by Li An, and could only stand awkwardly at a loss for words.

“Elder Xu, you wouldn’t have come to pick a fight on purpose, would you?” Li An said with a cold smile.

“You …… “Xu Luo sniffed, and was instantly enraged, but was speechless.

“Elder Xu, if you’re fine, please return, the young sect master needs to rest.” Li An gave his expulsion order.

Xu Luo glared fiercely at Li An and whisked his sleeves away.

“Take care Elder Xu, I won’t see you off!” Li An looked at Xu Luo’s departing back, the corner of his mouth hooked into a cold smile.

After Xu Luo and the others left, Li An hurriedly closed the door of the room and walked to the bedside, looking at Jian Wuji, who was still sleeping, his heart filled with doubts.

”When did the Young Preceptor return?”
