EBE Chapter 146 Past Events
Chapter 146 Past Events
Tao Tao was only focused on eating, and in no time she finished off the entire table of food. The maids were all astonished to see how much she could eat.
Shen Yi, however, didn't seem to care. He ordered them to continue serving the dishes, and then, fanning himself with a folding fan, he sat down opposite Tao Tao, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her, saying, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
"Xixi." Tao Tao took the water glass and gulped down a mouthful, then started eating again. Despite her small size, she had a big stomach and easily finished the whole table of food by herself.
While Tao Tao was eating, Shen Yi observed her with interest, resting his chin on his hand, and suddenly asked, "Miss Le, what do you think of our chef here? Is the food to your liking?"
"Very good, all delicious!" In Tao Tao's eyes, unless it is particularly bad, she can eat it. Besides, the chef here is really good at cooking, and she really likes it.
Seeing that Tao Tao was satisfied, Shen Yi smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. What do you think of our Moonlit Pavilion, Miss Le?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao raised her eyes suspiciously, glanced around, and nodded slightly, "That's fine too."
"Since you like it, have you ever thought about joining us?"
"join in?"
This surprised Tao Tao. Shen Yi actually wanted to recruit her into Yue Chong Lou? But she had already become a disciple of Xian Ling Gu. How could she possibly join another sect? Besides, everyone in Xian Ling Gu, from her senior brothers and sisters to her master and grandmaster, had treated her very well.
"That's right. Join our Moon Tower, and I'll give you a protector position right away. You won't have to do much to enjoy top-notch resources. Although you're a disciple of Immortal Spirit Valley, your resources can't compare to those of our protectors. Isn't what cultivators value cultivation resources?"
"I don't want it, it's fine as it is." Tao Tao resolutely refused, which didn't surprise Shen Yi. Although the conditions he offered were good, they might not be able to entice Tao Tao.
"What do you want? If you join, you can use this Moonlit Pavilion as you please, and eat whatever you want."
Tao Tao's eyes lit up immediately; she was clearly tempted. Shen Yi couldn't help but smile wryly, realizing that none of his other requests could compare to food.
But Tao Tao quickly lowered his eyes, wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "I'm full, thank you for the treat."
As she was about to leave, Shen Yi quickly stopped her, "I ask you, who wouldn't be tempted by my suggestion? Miss Le, are you really not going to reconsider?"
“I already have a sect, so I definitely won’t join another one. Besides, there are so many experts here, there’s no need for you to try and recruit me.”
Tao Tao sensed something unusual as soon as she entered. There were at least ten peak late-stage Foundation Establishment experts, but they were not present and were hidden somewhere. As for the maids, they looked delicate but were actually quite powerful.
Why would a sect full of experts need to invite a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to join?
Unexpectedly, Tao Tao immediately recognized the hidden expert among them. Shen Yi became increasingly interested in Tao Tao, but he would not force him to stay. Given Tao Tao's personality, forcing him to stay would inevitably turn them into enemies.
Shen Yi said, "Since Miss Le doesn't agree, then let's drop it. But we're destined to be friends from now on."
Tao Tao didn't refuse, and nodded with a smile, "Sure, sure."
"I wonder how much Miss Yue knows about your Annihilation Cold Sect?"
"Why do you ask that?" Since it concerned the sect, Tao Tao was naturally extremely cautious, revealing a rather serious expression, a far cry from his previous innocent and cute demeanor.
"Before I came here, I heard a strange story. It is said that a thousand years ago, a high-level demon beast broke into the Annihilation Cold Sect, seemingly looking for something. However, the elders of the Annihilation Cold Sect did not agree. So the demon beast fought with several elders. The demon beast was extremely powerful, and the elders were no match for it and were seriously injured. In this battle, countless disciples of the Annihilation Cold Sect died. If it weren't for one person's intervention, who managed to stop the tide and seal it away, the Annihilation Cold Sect might have been in danger of being wiped out."
Shen Yi slowly recounted the history of the Annihilation Frost Sect from a thousand years ago. Tao Tao had never heard of these things. After joining the Annihilation Frost Sect, she was always idle and her cultivation did not improve much, so she would never bother to learn about the history from a thousand years ago.
After listening, she felt strange. What exactly did the Annihilation Frost Sect have that the high-level demonic beast was so determined to find that it was even willing to make enemies of the entire sect?
"Do you know who made the move?" Shen Yi suddenly asked again. Tao Tao wanted to say she didn't know, but since Shen Yi had asked, it was most likely related to her. She thought for a moment and asked softly, "Grandmaster?"
"That's right, it was You Yunzi, the grandmaster of Immortal Spirit Valley. This battle shocked both the human and demon realms, and as a result, You Yunzi was regarded as a traitor by the demon realm."
"I see. But since that demonic beast has broken into the Annihilation Frost Sect, how could our Grandmaster not take action?"
"The problem is that at that time, he was not the founder of the Immortal Spirit Valley, and he had not yet joined the Annihilation Cold Sect."
"So what? Monsters devour each other, and humans kill each other too."
Tao Tao's tone was very confident, and his opinion was indeed unusual; many people wouldn't think that way.
"That's true. Moreover, in the cultivation world, strength is paramount. With You Yunzi's cultivation level, how many demonic beasts would dare to oppose him? It's just a matter of being quick-witted. Do you know why your grandmaster stayed in the Annihilation Frost Sect?"
"I don't know, why?"
"He has a connection with the high-level demon beast that was sealed away, and he is here to guard it."
"origin?"
"As for its origins, I have no idea. If you want to know, you might as well go back and ask your grandmaster."
Some things are just hearsay; only the parties involved know the truth.
Tao Tao didn't speak, but nodded as if she understood. She didn't understand why Shen Yi wanted to tell her this.
"How about I tell you another secret?" Suddenly, Shen Yi leaned closer and whispered in her ear.
Tao Tao didn't want to know any secrets. She was about to refuse when Shen Yi said, "It won't be long before that monster breaks through the seal. The Annihilation Frost Sect will be in grave danger. If you want to save your life, you can come to me anytime. The gates of the Moon Tower will always be open for you."
"No need, thank you for your kindness." Tao Tao quickly pushed him away and kept her distance. Shen Yi was too close; she could clearly feel his breath. Tao Tao didn't like being so close to people she wasn't close to. After saying this, she took a step away.
Shen Yi simply watched her leave without stopping her, and opened his folding fan with a faint smile.
The maid standing nearby was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Why is the young master so concerned about her? She's just an ordinary wild girl."
"She's no ordinary person. If you underestimate her, you'll regret it."
The maid didn't believe her, but dared not argue, so she lowered her eyes. "But didn't you say a bit too much to her today? If the people of the Underworld find out, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, she won't tell anyone."
