Chapter 43: Besides Black Silk, There’s Also Suspender Straps!
The sky was clear and the wind gentle.
The sky was as blue as washed silk, exceptionally clear, making one feel refreshed.
At the waist of a mountain peak, under an old pine tree.
A young man and woman sat facing each other.
With such weather and scenery, and the ability to eat piping hot spicy hotpot, it was truly a great pleasure in life.
Ye Xi sat cross-legged, without any airs, picked up a piece of meat, dipped it into the boiling pot, and then put it in his mouth.
“Sss—”
“Tasty, so refreshing!”
Qiao Xi looked away and laughed, but a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes.
It was hard to imagine that this guy opposite her would be the direct disciple of the Eternal Emperor.
Now he was also the renowned Emperor Nicholas.
But when interacting with him, it felt very casual, making one feel no discomfort at all.
On the contrary, it felt very relaxed and free.
Ye Xi looked up and asked with a smile, “Why aren’t you eating?”
Qiao Xi came back to her senses, pouted her lips, and said, “In these few days I’ve known you, I’ve eaten more than I did in several years past.”
She lowered her head, looking at a deep ravine…
Her voice weakly said, “I feel like I’ve gotten bigger… and fatter!”
Ye Xi laughed heartily, then said seriously, “How could that be? This is called being plump and beautiful.”
Qiao Xi blushed, her chin almost touching her chest.
After a long while.
After finishing the hotpot.
Qiao Xi mustered up the courage and asked softly, “Ye Xi, are you going to leave?”
In fact, she should have left long ago; the people from her clan were eager to return.
Only because she heard that Qiao Xi was going to bid farewell to Emperor Nicholas did she stay for some extra time.
If she could get involved with this peerless emperor, it would naturally be a good thing.
Ye Xi’s expression remained unchanged, nodding calmly, “Yes, I have important things to do!”
Qiao Xi added, “Then… when will we meet again?”
“On the day when spring warms and flowers bloom, that will be the time we meet again.”
Hearing this, Qiao Xi was pleasantly surprised, her body trembling slightly, exclaiming, “Really?”
She thought that after this parting, they might never see each other again.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xi answered like this.
Ye Xi nodded again.
Qiao Xi flew off happily like a cheerful sparrow.
After the farewell.
Ye Xi hesitated for a moment, took out a small notebook, and quickly flipped through it.
“Hmm, the scene of parting, found it!”
After looking at it, he said, “Fortunately, I didn’t say it wrong. Master said something similar when parting ways back then! It’s poetic!”
After a moment.
Ye Xi got up and left, this time accompanied by a woman in red clothes wearing a fierce mask.

Jade Pool Sacred Land.
Inside a grand ancient hall.
Que Ruyi had a stern face as she looked at the elders and peak leaders of the sacred land.
Here gathered all the top-tier powerhouses of the sacred land, numbering several hundred.
Que Ruyi pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, “This time, everyone must already know the secrets of Cangwu Mountain!”
Grand Elder Cangyuan was among the accompanying personnel, so there was no need to mention him.
Many other elders also roughly understood the truth of the matter, equally shocked.
Jade Pool Sacred Land.
As one of the strongest forces in the cultivation world today,
it was shocking that they knew nothing about such secrets, and had never even heard of so-called outsiders and the Evil Eye of the Alien Dao.
These evil forces had been lurking in the cultivation world for unknown lengths of time, developing countless like the An Family…
Thinking deeply about this matter could send chills down one’s spine.
The sacred land must take action!
At this moment, Que Ruyi’s authoritative voice echoed in the hall:
“We must abandon any illusions and prepare for immediate combat. No one knows if the next target of those things won’t be our Jade Pool Sacred Land!”
Grand Elder Cangyuan’s face was solemn as he respectfully said, “Indeed!”
Other elders and peak leaders responded in kind!
On a grand scale, this was a matter concerning the entire cultivation world, and it was also a matter concerning the survival of the sacred land!
Next.
Que Ruyi issued a series of countermeasures, including a thorough investigation to see if there were traitors within the sacred land.

Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
In the Hall of Immortals.
At this moment, the court was filled with a deadly atmosphere.
This great assembly convened all the officials of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty, even the governors stationed in various regions.
Empress Ye Qingge sat high on the throne.
Her expression was cold, her gaze sweeping over the ministers below, making everyone hold their breath.
Everyone knew that the secrets exposed by Cangwu Mountain were significant.
Empress Ye Qingge, this powerful empress, would definitely take action and not sit idly by.
“I hereby issue my decree: The entire realm of the Celestial Dynasty enters a state of preparation for battle!”
“Furthermore!”
“All secrets of Cangwu Mountain must be revealed to the world, letting everyone know about the existence of outsiders and their lackeys, leaving them nowhere to hide!”
Prime Minister Yang Mu stepped forward, bowing and accepting the order.
After a moment of silence.
Empress Ye Qingge’s icy voice sounded again, “Furthermore, the Xuan Bird Guard and Xuan Ying Guard must fully investigate all leads related to outsiders and their lackeys!”
“Once discovered, they shall be killed without mercy!”
Zhao Shanhe respectfully replied, “Your Majesty’s command will be followed!”
Of course, it wasn’t just the Jade Pool Sacred Land and the Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
Almost all major and minor sects and forces in the current cultivation world had issued similar orders.
For a time, apart from the panic among the people,
the entire cultivation world gradually became united in fighting against these evil forces, with a common goal.
Under such circumstances…
The Eternal Emperor, who discovered and exposed this secret, naturally became the hope of everyone.
Everyone wanted to know what the Eternal Emperor would do next after knowing this secret.
Just at this moment,
it was time for the emperor to expose himself.
As the communication array of Heavenly Machinery Pavilion lit up with a screen,
all cultivators focused their unbridled anticipation on the diary.
