Seeking the Flying Sword Path-Chapter 617 - Remember Well

Every action the middle-aged woman and the red-dressed woman took and every word they exchanged did not escape Qin Yun’s notice.

“She said that Yuluo is here to see Brother Meng sneakily? Who is Brother Meng?” Qin Yun pricked up his bows. Many questions came to his mind. Qin Yuluo was his granddaughter, someone who he had the intention to groom as his successor. Any Dao partner she chose in the future naturally had to be vetted by him or he would not be at ease.

Qin Yun did not do a thing; all he did was continue listening in.

…

“You are right, Your Highness.” The middle-aged woman nodded immediately. “If she doesn’t have ulterior motives, there is no need for her to act so sneakily. Besides, the Heavenly realm is so vast, so why would she come to an ordinary city for no reason? And one that happens to be where Immortal Meng is residing? That’s too much of a coincidence.”

“Then, what do we do now?” pressed the middle-aged woman.

Phoenix Voice sneered and said, “I can sense her location through karma. She is inside the city. I have spoken to her before and vaguely informed her of the consequences. I believed that she had retreated in the face of difficulty. But who knew that after a few centuries, she would come again! It looks like… speaking nicely to her is useless.”

“Your Highness, what do you intend to do?” The woman was alarmed.

“I’ll make sure she remembers well! I’ll make sure she stays away forever!” Phoenix Voice had a cold glint in her eyes.

The woman said hurriedly, “Your Highness, she’s Sword Immortal Qin’s granddaughter.”

“Don’t worry. As long as Sword Immortal Qin is alive, do you think I’ll be foolish enough to kill her?” Phoenix Voice scoffed. “I’ll only teach this little slut a lesson. I’ll humiliate her and make sure she is too ashamed to publicize it.”

“This…” The woman hesitated.

“Don’t worry. I know how far I can take it. I won’t go overboard.” Phoenix Voice chuckled and said, “With my understanding of her, she will only bury it in her heart and not trouble Sword Immortal Qin. After all, he has to face the numerous Itinerant Immortal tribulations. She definitely would not want him to worry over such trivial matters. Secondly, so what if she told him? It is a conflict between juniors with no deaths happening. What can Sword Immortal Qin do about that? My master will not permit him to act as a bully.”

The woman nodded slightly.

Phoenix Voice had her matriarch, the ancient demon, Nine Phoenix, who was very fond of her. She also had the Demon Emperor Bai Ze who was known for never having failed to execute a plan.

“Follow me.” Phoenix Voice got up as the middle-aged woman followed obediently. The two immediately left the cave abode and rushed over by tracing Qin Yuluo’s karma.

…

In the restaurant, Qin Yun reflected on everything he had just heard.

Her repeated use of ‘little slut’ vexed Qin Yun a little. However, he was still rather puzzled about the situation.

“Phoenix Voice is a ninth firmament Skydemon. Her strength matches that of mighty figures. She is a direct descendant of Nine Phoenix and Demon Emperor Bai Ze’s disciple,” thought Qin Yun. “Why would she end up in a conflict with Yuluo? Is it because of that Brother Meng?”

Qin Yun could only guess while feeling puzzled over many aspects.

Although they were coming to confront Qin Yuluo, Qin Yun remained patient.

“Phew…Phew…”

In midair faraway, two figures swooped down directly and landed in front of the restaurant. Although there were many passers-by around, no one noticed them. After all, their strengths were extraordinary. One of them matched a mighty figure while the other had the strength of a half-step mighty figure.

Many mortals and a number of cultivators failed to notice them.

However, Qin Yuluo sensed it.

She looked up and saw two figures descend from midair. She saw the cold-faced Phoenix Voice and her subordinate.

“Phoenix Voice?” Qin Yuluo turned anxious.

She never wanted to have her affairs of the heart made public. Furthermore, she had already decided on giving up her unrequited love in a few thousand years. She naturally did not want her grandfather to know of it.

“I’m going to meet a friend,” said Qin Yuluo as she left the restaurant.

Her figure phased away as she appeared at the restaurant’s entrance, standing in front of Phoenix Voice and the woman.

“Sister Phoenix Voice, what a coincidence.” Qin Yuluo forced a smile.

“That’s right, what a coincidence!” Phoenix Voice sighed as well. “The Heavenly realm is so huge, but we actually bumped into one another here. Even more coincidental, Red Fish City happens to be where Brother Meng has reclused himself. Yet, you have sneakily come here. It really isn’t an ordinary coincidence!”

“Brother Meng has reclused himself here?” Qin Yuluo was somewhat astonished. “Isn’t he at Cang City?”

“Still acting?”

Phoenix Voice looked at Qin Yuluo with a smile that meant nothing. “Brother Meng has left Cang City and reclused himself in Red Fish City. You are Immortal Yuluo of the Qin family… If you really wanted to investigate, would such a trivial piece of news escape you?”

Perhaps the residences of existences like Patriarch Bodhi and Daoist Lu Ya were difficult to find.

But the residences of ordinary mighty figures were easily found.

“Brother Meng has moved to Red Fish City?” Qin Yuluo had many emotions arise in her. After all, he was the first man who had entered her heart.

“I really just learned of it,” said Qin Yuluo. “Sister Phoenix Voice, I’m not lying to you.”

“Cut the act. I have been living in human cities all these years. I’ve seen enough of how two-faced you humans are. Do you think that little bit of acting can fool me? I saw through it at a glance. To be honest, you humans do not act as directly as we demons. We kill and take action as our hearts tell us,” said Phoenix Voice. “I made it clear to you the last time. Do not appear in front of Brother Meng again or you would regret it. Now that you are here, I have to punish you a little or you might think that all I said meant nothing.”

When Qin Yuluo heard that, she could not help but look back.

She was afraid, afraid that it would cause her grandfather to rage!

“What are you looking at? Don’t worry, the weak ants around us can’t see us or hear us,” said Phoenix Voice. “Qin Yuluo, your Qin family only has Sword Immortal Qin to rely on. When he falls, your Qin family is nothing. Since you do not know how to retreat in the face of difficulties, I’ll punish you a little to make you remember well. It’s also to help you. I’ll let you know who you can and cannot offend. Do it, slap her in the face a hundred times. Do not miss a single slap for I’ll be counting.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” said the middle-aged woman beside her.

Qin Yuluo’s expression changed as she could hardly hide her anger.

“There’s no point being anxious. You won’t be able to resist with me around.” Phoenix Voice waved her hand as a white rope flew out in a bid to bind Qin Yuluo.

“Sou!”

The white rope was restrained by an invisible force before flying towards a man who was drinking in the restaurant. The man reached out his hand and easily grabbed the white rope.

“My Dharma treasure!” Phoenix Voice’s expression changed drastically as she stared at the man. There were many customers in the restaurant and they were all eating and drinking normally. They were unable to see or hear Phoenix Voice and company outside, but Qin Yun heard everything.

“Why are you in a hurry to attack? I still wanted to hear more of what you had to say.” Qin Yun put down his wine cup and looked at the two female demons outside. He then looked at the somewhat embarrassed Qin Yuluo. “This lass often buries things in her heart. Her parents and I did not know of it, but I’ve finally learned of it today.”

“Who are you?” Phoenix Voice turned flustered for she had a guess.

“Who do you think I am?” Qin Yun looked at her. “Didn’t you just say that if I fall, the Qin family is nothing?”

Phoenix Voice and the woman immediately felt their hearts skip a beat.
