YM778.TV Chapter 137 Sect Spy, Limited Abilities
“TELL ME THE TRUTH!”
A blaring voice echoed throughout the entire Blue Scale Sect. It was the only voice that could make the legs of every disciple weak. Even some of the elders would not dare oppose his authority. One stomp from him could already tear them into pieces.
“Father, we really did not do anything. However, someone interfered, so we couldn’t carry out your order of capturing at least one disciple from their sect. We were told that he was very talented. Hence, we fought him and he lost miserably because we’re too many for him to beat.”
The sect master, who was sitting on a throne-like chair and whose elbow was placed against the armrest, nodded slightly. For now, he believed his son’s words. “Do you know who interfered?”
“We don’t know,” the burly man replied. “But I know that he should be an elder from their sect. It seems like he really is a talented disciple as there was someone guarding him.”
“Do you think I’m an idiot who only knows how to use his fist in physical combat?” his father, the sect master, questioned. “What elder are you saying? If it was really an elder from their sect, then you should’ve been dead or captured right now. Even if they knew you were my son, they would not back off against me.
“After all, they still had that fatty with them. If he is still alive and kicking now, praying that he’d be dead because of over-eating, then they’d be confident about dealing with me and instead captured you. Now, what do you think about this situation, my son? Are you not getting something?”.
“Then, that means their…”
The sect master nodded as a response. He then said, “But we should not jump immediately to conclusions. What if he’s tricking us into attacking their sect? After all, they’re not the only sect that we should be wary of. There are still two old geezers and one bitch that we need to pay attention to.”
“What shall we do then, father?”
“I already made contact with our spy from the other side. You don’t have to worry. I even know about the man who recently entered their sect as an Honorary Elder. Quite mysterious, eh?” The sect master grinned as he took a look at his son’s pathetic eyes. “But don’t feel so complacent yet. I have not decided on what kind of punishment all of you shall undergo. After all, you didn’t complete my mission for you. You didn’t even bring a disciple from the other sects. What a shame for you to be my son!”
The burly man clenched his hands with his teeth gnashed against one another. His father gave him this chance to prove himself to him that he was not some kind of idiot, but he still failed to do them. ‘It sucks! How can we defeat that monster, anyway? Can father even defeat that young man?!’
Oblivious to them, however, they did not know that Yang Lujia was already listening to their conversation through the white emblem from inside the burly man’s body. “A spy, huh? Other than me, the sect master, the library guardians of the second and third floors, and Elder Sun Ling, no one knew about me being an Honorary Elder of the sect. That’s indeed strange, but I think I already know the culprit. A variable may interfere if they told another person about this.”
Yang Lujia cut off their connection and stared directly at the approaching Elder Sun Ling while he was drinking his wine by the side of a tree at a mountain top near the main sect grounds.
“Seriously, I’ve already been looking for you all this time, and yet you’re here enjoying your life like that?” she complained with a pouting face.
“Life should always be good like this,” Yang Lujia replied, his eyes staring at her with no evident emotions—just a blank expression a boring person could make.
He then looked at the beautiful skies. “Who would’ve thought that under such a beautiful sky lies a lot of secrets yet to be unfolded? Don’t you think so, Elder Sun Ling?”
The woman did not reply and just stared at him, her eyes seemed to be meaning something. Afterward, she sighed. “As many as mysteries there are in the world, it was the same with secrets in number if not even greater.”
Yang Lujia remained silent. He knew what she meant. It was all like it was.
She continued, “Mysteries contain secrets as are secrets to mysteries.”
“I don’t know, but I can confirm now, it shouldn’t be you,” Yang Lujia replied. Seeing the confused look of the other party, he added, “I meant the spy sent by the Blue Scale Sect.”
“Ehh?” Elder Sun Ling revealed a surprised expression. “They sent a spy within the sect? How audacious can they be? Are they courting death?”
“It’s all human nature,” he only replied, not even observing the expression she was making at the moment. “Elder Sun Ling, you should go back now. Let me first revel in the beauty of the stars tonight.”
‘They’re very beautiful to look at. I wonder how same or different they were from the stars we see on Earth. I wonder if they also come in different sizes. Soon, I’ll be able to know about this.’
When Elder Sun Ling said her goodbyes and wished him a goodnight’s sleep, Yang Lujia looked in her direction with his dazed eyes. “I’ve become too sentimental lately.”
Just like that, two months passed by. In the middle of the night, a cute male voice woke him up from his sleep. Yang Lujia was instantly enraged for being disturbed by his beautiful dream of eating a lot of food from Earth. But he suppressed his emotions as he knew that it was time for Fortuniel’s upgrade.
“I wonder what will happen, though?” he questioned out of curiosity. “Let’s see…”
