Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Guang Xuanji’s Invitation
After hearing Lin Yun’s words, Wei Yunhang stared at him in shock. Even he found the idea terrifying. Success would undoubtedly bring immense benefits, but if they failed, Lin Yun and Wei Yunhang would be damned beyond redemption.Seeing Wei Yunhang’s expression, Lin Yun chuckled. "Brother Wei, as men of this world, surely we have at least this much courage?"
Hearing this, Wei Yunhang drained his cup in one gulp. After a long silence, he finally nodded. "Alright. Since you have such grand ambitions, Brother Lin Yun, I, Wei Yunhang, will see this through with you. As for matters in Wind City, just give the word, Brother Lin Yun. I will give it my all."
It had to be said that Lin Yun’s plan, while dangerous, would reshape the entire Eastern Domain if it succeeded—to say nothing of the mysterious organization. The ultimate beneficiaries would be the Flawless Palace and the Taiqing Academy.
Wei Yunhang’s decision was all part of Lin Yun’s plan. Hearing his reply, Lin Yun smiled faintly and poured him another cup of wine. The two drank it down in one go.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Wind City, Guang Xuanji sat before her mirror, dressed only in a gauze robe. She combed her hair, her expression tinged with melancholy.
Guang Xuanji had been sullen for days. For some unknown reason, her mind kept replaying the image of Lin Yun, his every move in the room that day, and especially his signature, wicked smile.
Just then, He Shang, dressed in loose innerwear, wrapped his arms around her from behind. A smile played on his lips. "What’s wrong? You’ve been so gloomy these past couple of days. Something on your mind?"
Without his golden mask, He Shang was just a sinister-looking young man, unremarkable except for his sickly pale skin, which was unsettling to look at.
Effeminate and cruel. Perhaps those were the best words to describe He Shang.
Guang Xuanji had been with He Shang for the past few days. He was almost perversely obsessed with her body, but every time they made love, her thoughts would drift to Lin Yun.
Of course, Guang Xuanji felt no love for He Shang. Her intimacy with him was merely a means to recruit him into her organization.
Hearing He Shang’s words, Guang Xuanji forced a faint smile. "It’s nothing. I was just thinking about that head Disciple from the Flawless Palace."
The head Disciple of the Flawless Palace—wasn’t that Lin Yun? Hearing her mention him, He Shang sneered. "A mere Primordial Ocean Realm brat dares to shamelessly call himself one of the six great Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain. It’s fine. You just proceed with the plan. When the time comes, I’ll take care of him."
