Chapter 286: What’s Going On (Part Four)

Sun Ruowei was completely out of it.

No, seriously, what the heck? You guys are this drunk and still aren’t speaking? Did someone sew your mouths shut or what?

“Come on, drink!”

Sun Ruowei was genuinely in disbelief.

I swear, I’ll drink you two under the table!

She was already hammered.

But her mind was still buzzing with the need to uncover the truth.

In her hazy state, she thought she saw Yue Hongling crying again.

For the third time!

But she simply couldn’t hold on any longer; the world was spinning, her head was heavy, and she finally collapsed onto the table with a thud.

I’m out cold! Hurry up, spill some juicy gossip, don’t treat me like a living person! Come on, hit me with something explosive!

But right until she lost consciousness, not a word reached her ears.

……

“Ugh… so dizzy!”

The Third Heaven’s booze was definitely having an effect on the cultivators, especially since Sun Ruowei was chugging the strongest stuff.

“You’re awake.”

Bai Qiulan’s gentle voice broke through.

Without even opening her eyes, Sun Ruowei let out a resigned sigh.

“Bai Qiulan!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Am I still not your best sister?” Sun Ruowei asked angrily.

“Of course!”

“Now you clearly have the power to help me improve my strength, so why aren’t you helping me? Sis, my good sister, please tell me, will you?” Sun Ruowei’s voice shifted to a pleading tone.

It was more painful than being killed if she wasn’t allowed to have any fun gossip.

Why was she working so hard on her cultivation?

Isn’t it just so she could catch up with Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan, to munch on some mind-blowing scandal?

She was a thousand percent sure that what Bai Qiulan, Yue Hongling, and Lu Ye discussed could feed her for half a lifetime, or maybe even a whole lifetime!

“Ruowei, I know you’re eager, but don’t rush it.”

“What you need to do now is to focus on your cultivation. Once you’re strong enough, all the truths will come to light.”

“But if you tell me, won’t I become stronger?”

“No, even if I tell you, you might not be able to get stronger. It could even shatter your Dao heart. When you’re strong enough, I will definitely tell you,” Bai Qiulan explained.

“This big pie you’re drawing is making me choke,” Sun Ruowei rolled her eyes and said.

Bai Qiulan chuckled softly.

“I don’t care. I just ascended to the Third Heaven. The Grand Dao Sect barely exists here anymore, so I’ll wait for that guy Liu Changfeng to come up and rebuild the Grand Dao Sect before I lend a hand.”

“Until Liu Changfeng ascends, I’ll stick with you guys!” Sun Ruowei declared firmly.

Bai Qiulan frowned slightly.

“Bai Qiulan, are you frowning? Your best sister is looking to join you, and you’re frowning? What happened to you?” Sun Ruowei’s voice suddenly escalated.

Bai Qiulan had no choice.

Sun Ruowei seemed to be her only friend now.

“Okay, fine, you can come along, but let me make it clear—Yue Hongling is dealing with a soul injury due to being betrayed by someone, and her mental state is unstable right now. Don’t provoke her, let her recover on her own.”

“What? Who betrayed Yue Hongling?” Sun Ruowei’s voice shot up.

“It was one of Lu Ye’s pursuers who, failing in their quest for love, took out their anger on us. Yue Hongling unfortunately got caught in the crossfire,” Bai Qiulan sighed.

“That bastard Lu Ye! What about the person who harmed Yue Hongling? That Celestial Lord better watch out; we must take them down together!”

“They’ve already ascended…”

Sun Ruowei…

They ascended again, huh?

So, that means the one who secretly harmed Yue Hongling likely came from the Third Heaven; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to ascend to the Fourth Heaven so quickly.

She couldn’t believe that besides Lu Ye, anyone else could cultivate that fast.

Which meant that woman must definitely be from the Third Heaven.

What the hell, so there are women in the Third Heaven who have a crush on Lu Ye too???

Sun Ruowei was struggling to wrap her head around it, but it was quite a shock.

And one more thing.

So, is Yue Hongling crying all the time because of her soul injury?

No way, whose soul injury leads to constant crying?!

Something must have gone horribly wrong, but what exactly was the issue, that’s hard to say.

She could take her time to investigate.

She would definitely uncover the truth!

Bai Qiulan just hoped Sun Ruowei wouldn’t dig any deeper.

She really didn’t know how to face Sun Ruowei if she was dead set on investigating and stumbled upon something!

……

……

……

Lu Ye was clueless about Bai Qiulan’s good deeds; if he knew, he’d definitely have something to say.

Bai Qiulan’s pretty ruthless.

Right now, he was busy.

Some folks had the audacity to try and raid the four sects while Lu Ye was busy eliminating them using formations, thinking they could plunder all the treasures.

Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves and underestimated the immense power of the protective formations of the four major forces.

Unable to break the formations, many found themselves trapped inside.

By the time Lu Ye arrived to clear things up, those people were inhaling the Aroma of Achievement in Dao and instantly went wild.

Lu Ye stepped into the formation like it was a walk in the park.

Piece of cake.

Once inside, he began to activate the formation.

A stream of gray mist flowed into the Emperor’s Banner.

“Glug glug… Master, glug glug…”

“It’s fine, getting a bit chubby won’t hurt anything,” Lu Ye replied.

“It’s gonna blow, glug glug, it’s gonna blow…”

“It’s fine, if it blows up I can just reforge it.”

“Wah wah wah, the banner is so pitiful…”

“What a useless display!”

Lu Ye snapped, and the Emperor’s Banner finally settled down.

This is just the beginning!

No way, I gotta find a way to upgrade the Emperor’s Banner; otherwise, it’s super annoying that it gets stuffed so easily!

Did the Ten Thousand Souls Banner have this kind of issue?

He hadn’t heard of any Ten Thousand Souls Banner that cried out for souls like this.

All the treasures of the four major forces had been stripped bare.

As for the other two sects, Lu Ye wasn’t letting them off either; he was pondering how to take revenge on them.

Suddenly, Lu Ye’s expression shifted. He got an idea!
