Chapter 312: Junior Sister, how did you find out my identity
Ye Cong Xin said gently: “Wang Sheng, you must be good. Elder Sister will come see you again tomorrow.”

Wang Sheng answered: “Mm!”

Ye Cong Xin had a warm smile at the corner of her mouth as she patted Wang Sheng’s head.

Once she walked out of the courtyard, the smile on her face vanished at once.

“How much favorability does Wang Sheng have toward me right now?”

[Ding! Wang Sheng’s current favorability is forty points.]

Ye Cong Xin tugged at the corner of her lips.

She was not satisfied with this number, but it was already the best result she could get after using every method she had.

Speaking of this, she also had many complaints about the System.

In order to make Wang Sheng accept her as soon as possible, she had been persuaded by the System to spend her Luck Value to exchange for a skill that could sort through Wang Sheng’s memories, hoping to make him return to normal.

As a result, after using up the Luck Value, Wang Sheng’s condition did improve a little, but he was still very different from a normal person. At most, he could barely understand what others were saying.

Ye Cong Xin felt that she had been tricked, but she did not dare ask the System to return her Luck Value. She could only swallow the loss and put even more effort into Wang Sheng, hoping to get her investment back as soon as possible.

Lost in her thoughts, she unknowingly walked all the way to the foot of Lone Moon Peak. A voice suddenly called out from behind her: “Ye Cong Xin.”

A trace of annoyance flashed in Ye Cong Xin’s eyes.

In the Five Elements Dao Sect, there were only a few people who would call her by her full name like this.

She did not even need to turn around to know who it was.

She really wanted to walk away, but some other disciples nearby had heard the noise and were looking over, so she had to stop. She forced a smile and said to the person coming over: “Senior Sister Xiu, what do you need?”

Xiu Luo did not answer right away. Instead, she glanced in the direction Ye Cong Xin had come from and said: “You went to see Wang Sheng again?”

“What does that have to do with you?”

“I’m curious.”

“Heh.”

Ye Cong Xin let out a cold laugh.

Xiu Luo did not keep asking. She took out an invitation letter hidden in her sleeve and handed it to her: “This is an invitation from Spirit Mountain to Master Qing Yan. Please pass it on to Master Qing Yan.”

“An invitation from Spirit Mountain?”

Ye Cong Xin froze. Half doubtful, she took the invitation from Xiu Luo and opened it. On it was indeed the unique mark of the White Peacock Clan.

Her eyes moved and her smile suddenly became a bit more real. “Thank you, Senior Sister Xiu. I will give it to Master.”

With that, she gave a small smile and went straight up Lone Moon Peak with the invitation.

After a while, Zhang Jun jumped out from who knew which corner and said worriedly: “Is it really okay to give the invitation to her?”

Xiu Luo rolled her eyes. “Other than Ye Cong Xin, can you find anyone else from Lone Moon Peak? Besides, Sect Master only told us to send the invitation to Lone Moon Peak. He never said it had to end up in anyone’s particular hands. We have already finished our task. What happens after has nothing to do with us, so why bother worrying?”

Zhang Jun thought about it and felt that Xiu Luo’s words made a lot of sense.

Also, when Master handed him the invitation, he had not seemed to care much. It probably was not anything important.

Once he understood, he gave her a flattering smile. “I troubled you again today. Let me treat you to some Spirit Fruit.”

“No need,” Xiu Luo refused without mercy. “Just spar with me.”

“Ah? Fight again?”

“Just say if you agree or not.”

“I agree. Would I dare not agree, my Grand Auntie? This time, please be a bit gentler.”

“Stop nagging, let’s go.”

“Walk slower, wait for me…”

After going up the mountain, the first thing Ye Cong Xin did was open the invitation and carefully read its contents.

What she was most curious about was why Spirit Mountain would send an invitation to Master Qing Yan.

After all, she had never heard that Master Qing Yan had any dealings with the White Peacock Clan.

When she finished reading, she was shocked.

“System, I remember you said that the bloodline Quan Ye awakened was the Azure Dragon bloodline?”

[Ding! Yes, Host.]

Ye Cong Xin’s expression flickered, turning dark and light.

Everyone knew that the only things of their kind in the world were the most precious.

Now that Azure Dragons had disappeared from the world, a person with an Azure Dragon bloodline like Quan Ye would naturally become the one the Demon Race paid the most attention to.

But now a Bixi Dragon-Tortoise had suddenly appeared, a Descendant of the Azure Dragon whose bloodline was purer than Quan Ye’s.

Quan Ye’s existence instantly became very awkward.

[No, I have to let Quan Ye know about this.]

Ye Cong Xin made up her mind and took the invitation to look for Quan Ye.

Recently, since Ye Cong Xin had shifted her attention to Wang Sheng, Quan Ye had more or less regained his freedom and no longer hid his whereabouts. When he saw Ye Cong Xin come to his door, he instantly remembered the fear of being under her control and forced a smile: “Junior Sister, what brings you here?”

In the past, Ye Cong Xin would have taken the chance to put on a show of hurt and sadness, but right now she had no mood for that. “Fifth Senior Brother, take a look at this invitation first.”

Quan Ye took it and glanced over it. His face changed at once.

The White Peacock was actually holding a banquet specially for the Bixi Dragon-Tortoise and was even inviting Master as a guest.

So they had not lied to him?

There really was a Descendant of the Azure Dragon whose bloodline was purer than his!

A dull pain spread through Quan Ye’s chest, as if someone had punched him there several times.

“Fifth Senior Brother, did you already know about the Bixi Dragon-Tortoise?”

Ye Cong Xin was best at reading expressions. One look at Quan Ye’s reaction told her that he must have already heard about it, he just did not dare confirm it, or did not want to.

Quan Ye did not hear what Ye Cong Xin said at all. He was still drowning in the pain of his shattered fantasy.

He had resisted his half-human half-demon identity, but once he learned that he was actually a Descendant of the Azure Dragon, that resistance had eased a lot.

He had already convinced himself to accept and adapt to this identity. Just then, another lowly thief had appeared to snatch it from him. How could he accept that?

“Fifth Senior Brother? Fifth Senior Brother?”

Ye Cong Xin’s voice kept echoing by Quan Ye’s ear, refusing to give up. The fire in Quan Ye’s heart burned higher and higher, and just as he was about to explode, Ye Cong Xin’s next words suddenly cooled him down.

Ye Cong Xin said: “Fifth Senior Brother, a thousand years ago, when the last Azure Dragon disappeared from the cultivation world, the Azure Dragon bloodline slowly died out. Even if there really is a Bixi Dragon-Tortoise in this world, it would only be some old monster that has lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. How could it have just been born not long ago? I suspect this is a scam.”

Out of instinct, Quan Ye wanted to agree with her, but when he thought of what he had seen and heard on Qingqiu Mountain, he closed his eyes in pain and forced out through his teeth: “No, it is not a scam.”

If it were only a scam, why would the White Peacock make such a huge show of it and send invitations everywhere?

Ye Cong Xin’s eyes flashed and she quickly asked the System: “System, what is going on? Isn’t Quan Ye supposed to be the only Descendant of the Azure Dragon in this world?”

The reason she had suspected that the Bixi Dragon-Tortoise was fake was because when Quan Ye returned, the System had taken the initiative to tell her that Quan Ye had awakened his bloodline and his Fortune had doubled. She had naturally assumed that Quan Ye was the only Azure Dragon bloodline.

The System was completely silent.

“System?”

“System, answer me.”

Ye Cong Xin called a few more times, but the System still did not respond. She knew then that she had been tricked by the System again.

She was angry in her heart, and a bit of that gloom showed on her face as well.

Quan Ye thought that Ye Cong Xin was angry on his behalf. While he was moved, he also felt a bit ashamed.

He did not want others to see him in such a sorry state.

Especially when it came to his identity.

Wait.

Something felt wrong.

A sharp light suddenly shot out from Quan Ye’s eyes. “Junior Sister, where did you learn my identity?”
