969 Eavesdropping (2)
When the barrier emitted the alarm, not only did Xue Fanxin receive the news, but even Ye Jiushang was alarmed. Hence, he released a wisp of his divine sense and constantly paid attention to Xue Fanxin’s movements.
Xue Fanxin, on the other hand, came out of her space and quickly lay on the dilapidated bed, pretending to be asleep. She lay on the bed without moving, but she listened carefully to the commotion outside.
In the dilapidated courtyard where the new disciples lived, two mysterious men came. They were wearing black robes and hats. It was difficult to see their faces clearly in the night.
The two mysterious men scanned the house in the courtyard. After making sure that everyone was sleeping soundly, they spoke with relief.
“I found a total of ten good seedlings this year. Apart from Yan Jinfeng, who was privately brought back by Xianrou, the others came from a remote place and don’t have any status or background. Even Yan Jinfeng is not to be feared. If she is chosen by Master, then she can only be sacrificed. She is just a small fry from the secular world. Her death is not worth pitying.”
“These new disciples still need to be nurtured before they can be offered to Master. Wanting to completely stimulate their talent and potential is not something that can be done overnight.”
“But Master is rushing us. If we don’t have any fresh blood to offer, Master will be angry. You should know how serious the consequences of Master being angry are.”
“Of course I know, but I have no choice, right? Could it be that you want to directly offer these new disciples? Their talent and potential have not been stimulated. They are like a piece of high-grade raw meat. No matter how good the meat is, how can it be delicious without cooking?”
“You have a point. Back then, Master was quite satisfied with Xue Feichen. Just as he was about to succeed, a reckless woman appeared. Not only did she ruin Master’s plans, but she also saved Xue Feichen. How detestable. By the way, when Changfeng returned last time, he said that he had met a good seedling called Xue Fanxin. This Xue Fanxin is Xue Feichen’s daughter. Since Xue Feichen is suitable for Master, Xue Fanxin must be suitable too. Let’s capture her and offer her to Master. Wouldn’t the current problem be resolved then?”
“That’s easy to say. Do you know who Xue Fanxin is now?”
“Who can she be? No matter how noble she is, someone born in the secular world is only an ant to the Flowing Cloud Sect. A father’s debt is paid by a daughter. It’s only right and proper for her to repay the debt her father owes.”
“In the past, it would have been easy to capture her and offer her to Master, but the situation is different now. Forget about catching her now, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to find her. She has already climbed up to Ye Jiushang. It will be very difficult to touch her.”
Back then, they had also thought of capturing Xue Feichen’s daughter and offering her to their master. However, later on, they found out that Xue Feichen’s daughter was actually an idiot and useless person. After years of observation, the truth was indeed so, so they gave up on her.
However, who knew that many years later, Xue Fanxin would change drastically and become a talented girl?
If they had known earlier, they would have captured Xue Fanxin back then without a care.
“We really shouldn’t have let Xue Feichen’s daughter off back then. Even if she was an idiot and useless person, we should have captured her.”
Xue Fanxin listened to the conversation between the two mysterious people in the courtyard and mocked in her heart: If you want to capture me, you have to have the ability.
Even if she was stupid and useless at that time, her master and the Spacetime Emperor were secretly protecting her. It would not be easy for these people from the Flowing Cloud Sect to touch her.
However, who was the ‘master’ these two mysterious people were talking about?
