The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 79

“You have followed me for so long. Is there something you need?” Ming Ziyou’s voice was as cold as he was. Through his senses, he had already discovered Mu Yinfeng following behind him. “It is not a good thing for a Primordial Yin woman to follow me. Miss Mu, are you not afraid I will covet the Primordial Yin in your body like those people do?”
“Young Master Ming is not that kind of person.” Mu Yinfeng stopped and smiled slightly. At the same time, she forced her voice into a thin line and spoke several words beside Ming Ziyou’s ear.
As if a heavenly prophecy had descended beside him, Ming Ziyou suddenly turned around. “How do you know?”
“Can Young Master Ming have a proper talk with Yinfeng now?” Mu Yinfeng walked to Ming Ziyou’s side and studied his pale face. “Under the witch clan’s curse, Young Master Ming used a forbidden art, did you not? Such a forbidden art consumes a great deal of your life force. Did Young Master Ming not think of that before using it?”
“That is none of Miss Mu’s concern,” Ming Ziyou said coldly. “Since Miss Mu knows I am the Bing Fire divine envoy, you may as well state your purpose directly. There is no need to hide it.”
“A Heaven-grade evil being will awaken during this Immortal Sects Assembly. When that time comes, I must trouble Young Master Ming to lend Yinfeng a hand.” Mu Yinfeng stared at Ming Ziyou and spoke each word clearly.
“A Heaven-grade evil being? Who told you that?” Ming Ziyou lifted his eyes and asked.
When he heard this information, Ming Ziyou showed no emotion at all. There was not even the slightest fear or surprise at hearing about a Heaven-grade evil being.
“Biyuntian.” Mu Yinfeng casually made up a person. Ming Ziyou was the Bing Fire divine envoy, so there were many things she did not need to hide from him.
“So it was the Ice Emperor.” Ming Ziyou sneered. “He is an evil being himself. Why would Miss Mu believe the words of an evil being?”
“If Young Master Ming does not believe me, I will say no more.” As Mu Yinfeng spoke, she turned to leave. She understood Ming Ziyou’s character. Although Ming Ziyou came from the famous evil-cultivator sect, Mingxin Sect, he was far more upright than many people from so-called righteous sects.
Sure enough, Ming Ziyou called after her.
“Miss Mu, do not worry. I will not leave. But one Bing Fire divine envoy is still not enough. If Miss Mu can find the Ding Fire divine envoy, there may still be room to turn things around.”
“The Ding Fire divine envoy?” Mu Yinfeng nodded slightly. “I will remember that.”
Ming Ziyou looked back at Mu Yinfeng’s departing figure and could not help asking, “Miss Mu already knows where the Ding Fire divine envoy is?”
Mu Yinfeng shook her head and said honestly, “I do not.”
The book’s setting was still limited. As for the ten divine envoys, some were described openly, while others were not mentioned at all. The Ding Fire divine envoy was one of those never mentioned.
But because divine envoys always appeared in pairs, the Ding Fire divine envoy’s age should not be too different from the Bing Fire divine envoy’s. Within that range, the Ding Fire divine envoy might also be taking part in this Immortal Sects Assembly.
If so, she only had to search among the contestants with a Ding Fire spiritual root. A single spiritual root was already rare. A single spiritual root with pure yin was even rarer. Such a person should draw attention wherever they went, just like her Primordial Yin body. There was no way to hide it.
“Then why is Miss Mu so sure?”
“At this point, I can only try.” Mu Yinfeng had just been about to smile when she suddenly felt a chill from behind. Her smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
“Try how?”
A cold, indifferent voice sounded beside her ear. At the same time, Mu Yinfeng felt her waist tighten. A strip of snow-white silk had wrapped around it.
Inside Mirror Flower Hall’s secret room, a girl sat before a mirror. She wore a deep-blue robe. Dark-red spiritual light surged in her palm and reflected in the mirror, making the entire secret room look strange and gloomy.
Footsteps sounded outside the secret room. The girl withdrew the dark-red spiritual light. Just as she stood, the door of the secret room slowly opened, and an old man walked in.
“Hall Master.” The girl bowed. There was not the slightest emotion in her eyes, as if she were a body controlled by someone else, long since stripped of her soul.
“What are you thinking about?” The Mirror Flower Hall Master stared at the girl for a while. “Your cultivation today is not as diligent as usual.”
“The Immortal Sects Assembly is about to begin. It is normal to feel uneasy,” the girl said slowly. “Does the Hall Master not usually send others to pass messages? It is truly rare for you to come in person.”
“Mirror Flower Hall needs you for the Immortal Sects Assembly,” the Mirror Flower Hall Master said. He reached out, wanting to straighten the crooked hairpin in the girl’s hair, but the girl dodged aside. “You must represent Mirror Flower Hall and win a ranking.”
“Has mighty Mirror Flower Hall run out of people? All because of a small witch clan?” The corner of the girl’s mouth lifted in a cold smile. “Could it be that the Hall Master wants to repeat the last Immortal Sects Assembly? Speaking of which, someone who should have been executed is still alive in this world. Does the Hall Master think that is wise?”
“But right now, you are the only one Mirror Flower Hall can send. This is your responsibility–”
“…But back then, stretching out my neck and accepting death was also my responsibility.” A blood-red lotus bloomed in the girl’s palm. She calmly looked into the Mirror Flower Hall Master’s eyes. “Hall Master had better think twice before acting.”
“Senior Sister!”
Mu Yinfeng was startled. Seeing this, Ming Ziyou turned to leave, but a silver needle shot out and sealed his acupoints, leaving him unable to move.
“Why did you leave alone with him? Do you not know he is from an evil-cultivator sect?” Huixue used Tianbing’s restraint to pull Mu Yinfeng over. Only after confirming she was unharmed did she untie Tianbing.
“Young Master Ming is not that kind of person.” The words left Mu Yinfeng’s mouth before she could stop them. She immediately realized that sounded far too green tea and added, “Young Master Ming has a yang spiritual root. My Primordial Yin body is of no benefit to him at all.”
Huixue ignored her explanation and looked back at Ming Ziyou’s face. “Young Master Ming, from now on, stay farther away from Hanyou Valley’s people. Given Mingxin Sect’s past, it is truly hard to imagine anything good coming from Mingxin Sect approaching Hanyou Valley.”
“What if Hanyou Valley is the one approaching Mingxin Sect?” Although Ming Ziyou could not move, Huixue had not sealed his ability to speak. He asked coldly in return.
Huixue paused, then pulled with palm force and released the acupoints she had sealed on Ming Ziyou. “This is the last time.”
“There will be no next time. I would rather never see you again.” Ming Ziyou turned and left without stopping at all. “Women are truly troublesome.”
“Senior Sister, I only went to ask him something.” Mu Yinfeng tugged at Huixue’s sleeve and said helplessly, “I only asked whether he was the Bing Fire divine envoy. Nothing else.”
She still hid the matter of the evil being causing chaos at the Immortal Sects Assembly. She could not lie to Huixue and say Biyuntian had told her. Asking about a divine envoy’s identity became a good excuse.
“How did you know he was the Bing Fire divine envoy?” Huixue lowered her head and asked.
Even she did not know about the Bing Fire divine envoy. In her previous life, she had searched for these divine envoys, but she had not found all of them. Because of that, she had even thought those divine envoys were no longer in the human world.
“My Linglong Heart Method can see through his thoughts.” Mu Yinfeng found an excuse. “I was wondering whether the divine envoys have ways to exchange information with one another, and whether he might know Martial Uncle Ruoying’s whereabouts.”
Hearing this, Huixue fell silent. After a long while, she reached out and placed her hand on the back of Mu Yinfeng’s head, gently pulling the girl into her arms. “Do not do something so dangerous next time. People in the cultivation world are not worth trusting. Do not run around carelessly.”
“Senior Sister, do not worry. No one can touch me.” Buried against Huixue’s shoulder, Mu Yinfeng said softly, “If there is anyone in this world who can kill me, it is only you, Senior Sister.”
“Silly child.” Huixue sighed and released Mu Yinfeng. “We have traveled all this way. Let us go back to the room and rest.”
On the way, Mu Yinfeng was still thinking about how she should pester Huixue into sharing a room if they had been given two separate rooms. Then she discovered that Huixue had led her to one room and followed her inside.
“Senior Sister, are you going to sleep… in the same room as me?”
Mu Yinfeng asked in a low voice, her face flushed red.
“There are many participants in this Immortal Sects Assembly. Mirror Flower Hall cannot free up that many empty rooms, so two people must squeeze into one room.” Huixue looked at the bed, which could barely hold two people, then added, “But if you think it is too cramped, I will sleep on the floor these few days. You can sleep on the bed.”
“No need, Senior Sister. Actually, we can just squeeze together.” Mu Yinfeng’s face grew even redder. “It is fine. We are both women. What is there to be afraid of?”
“That is fine too.” Huixue sat in a chair. At some point, a scroll had appeared in her hand. Mu Yinfeng saw a hint of a sigh in Huixue’s ice-blue eyes.
“Senior Sister, what are you reading?” Mu Yinfeng could not help asking.
Huixue placed the scroll aside. “I hope this Immortal Sects Assembly will not repeat what happened last time.”
“What happened last time?”
This part of the story had not been described in the book, so Mu Yinfeng knew nothing about it and could not help asking further.
“At the last Immortal Sects Assembly, a woman with a fire spiritual root used the forbidden art Red Lotus Karmic Fire and burned the venue. More than half of the cultivation world’s young disciples died in that Red Lotus Karmic Fire.” As Huixue recalled it, her face turned slightly pale. “That woman’s spiritual power was truly terrifying. Even I might not be able to stand against her.”
“A woman with a fire spiritual root? Among the five elements, water counters fire. How is that possible?” Mu Yinfeng asked in surprise.
“Her cultivation was infinitely close to that of a divine official.” Huixue’s expression became faintly distant. “For some reason, she did not wait for the chance to ascend. But that may have been related to the art she cultivated. With such a wicked art, it would indeed be hard for the Heavenly Realm to accept her.”
“Infinitely close to a divine official? Then she was even more than Yimu…”
Huixue shook her head. “Yimu is a divine envoy. They cannot be compared.”
“Then what happened to this person now? Will she also attend this Immortal Sects Assembly?”
“She died.” Huixue’s gaze was distant and cold. “After the last Immortal Sects Assembly ended, that woman killed herself of her own will. That saved a lot of trouble. In truth, even if she had not died, it would not have mattered, because in this cultivation world, almost no one could escape her Red Lotus Karmic Fire.”
