Chapter 202 - 199: The Strategy of Lik Shi
In the Black Water Kingdom, within the Dingguang Peak of Qiyun Sect.
"Master, it has been over twenty days. I estimate that in a few more days, Ye Zhen, who went to attend the Five Countries Conference, should be returning. However, despite all my efforts, Caiyi hasn’t just refrained from leaving the Qiyun Sect of Departure Mountain, she hasn’t even stepped out of Fairy Peak."
Inside the silent chamber of Dingguang Peak, the handsome face of Fan Chuyu, a true inheritor, was contorted in frustration, appearing exceptionally ferocious.
"You’ve been close to Caiyi for many years. Have you still not grasped her temperament? Can’t you manage even this small matter of luring her out of the mountain?" Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang was also visibly frustrated.
While Ye Zhen was around, he and Caiyi would stick together on Fairy Peak, hardly ever venturing far, which left the long-planning Fifth Elder without any opportunity to act.
Finally, when Ye Zhen had left the mountain, Caiyi still chose not to leave.
This severely frustrated Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang, who had always been plotting to uncover the secrets harbored by Caiyi.
"Master, Caiyi’s temperament is such that she prefers tranquility over activity and seldom leaves her abode. Moreover, she is naively straightforward. If siblings from the sect who are not very close invite her, she always directly refuses."
"Can’t you use your brains and pretend to be someone with whom Caiyi is quite familiar to invite her?" Hong Banjiang burst out angrily.
Plotting to uncover the secrets carried by Caiyi was indeed a highly risky affair.
