YM778.TV Chapter 218 - Hua Sisters
"Come on, stop calling me like that. I bet you don\'t want to end up being taught some manners by this "senior", right?"
"Hm, if senior do not want me calling him a senior; how should I call you then... Senior?"
Only now Seth realized he had never told Jiang Yi his name.
"Tch! You can call me Seth."
"So Seth, do you know that by letting her go, she will most likely bring many of her friends here to beat you up, right? Don\'t you think you were a bit dumb on that decision of yours?"
Seth realized she was indeed a devious imp. Even though she knew she was talking to a person she couldn\'t afford to offend, she was calling him dumb without thinking twice.
Seth suddenly had the thought of disciplining her right there, but he tossed that idea aside, burying that grievance deep inside his heart to use it later against her.
"No need to worry, she will uphold her words."
"Hm? How do you know that?"
"Because I\'ve spared her life when she was ready to die. That\'s what they call as honor."
"Honor? Ready to die? How\'s that possible? That\'s all bullshi..."
Before Jiang Yi was even able to finish her phrase, they heard a loud sound and felt the earth trembling once again. That was the initial process of the lake changing, turning glazed.
Right at the middle of that huge lake, Hua Qing slowly emerged. Behind her, three more people came accompanying the Fourth Palace Master, increasing the strength of her group. Impressively, two of those three people were identical to Hua Qing.
They were so alike that Seth wasn\'t able to tell who was the real Hua Qing and who was not her without using his scanning ability.
\'Oh my god! She has multiplied? Not possible!\'
Out of curiosity he used his Soul Sense to scan on them and discovered that all of them were at the Mana Control late-stage Realm of cultivation. They had the same cultivation levels but were not the same person, or a special clone skill of hers.
Their appearances were something really refreshing to see. All of them were very slim and kind of short. They had bright and smooth black hair that wasn\'t too short nor too long, making them retain a lot of their youthfulness.
Beside them, Eleventh Palace Master Yushui\'s figure could be seen. At least her presence there made Seth feel at ease. His way in, had finally appeared.
The four of them approached slowly, but when Seth lowered his guard, one of those similar women dashed forward while making the lake water accompany her, turning into a monstruous wave of destruction.
"You will pay for bullying my sister!"
As she approached, Seth had the impression her actions were guided by a lively impulse. Even her rage was more lively than usual.
Seth circulated his Mana. Creating an energy barrier that thoroughly blocked that huge wave of water, making it all return to the lake. But even though he showed the girl that just appeared that her attack wasn\'t able to reach him, she kept striking at the Mana barrier he created, trying to break it with her fists.
Palace Master Yushui kept slowly walking towards him together with the other two.
Seth looked at her with a troubled face, as if asking her to make the other woman stop her barrage.
Yushui liked to see him getting into trouble, since the last time they clashed beliefs, Seth seemed to be the victorious one at the end. However, she couldn\'t afford making him discontent, because she was the one that would be asking for a favor from him, that\'s why she decided to stop everything.
"Hua Jing, you can stop. He is indeed a person I asked to come here, and is not at fault for what happened. I am the one that should be held responsible."
"What? No! You did nothing wrong Palace Master Yushui."
"Jing Jing, please stop." Hua Qing said.
"But he humiliated you, Sister Qing! You even said he bound you on those disgraceful vines. Who knows what he could have done to you in that situation..."
\'Do you think that was a kind of a sexual role play?\' Seth felt his face burning as he wanted to contest her, but he decided to not heat this explosive lady raging emotions once more.
"Miss Yushui, I\'d like to say that it is a bit hard to find you. Did you perhaps forget about your invitation?"
"I didn\'t forget it. It\'s just that I never imagined you would be coming this quickly. It\'s only been a month and you\'re already here."
"Well... I missed Caizhi so badly that I decided to come earlier."
"Hum... Unfortunately for you, you won\'t be able to meet her right now. She is training with the Sect Master and cannot be bothered."
"Wait... Does he know Caizhi?" Hua Jing curiously asked Yushui.
He older sister Hua Ning got interested as well. She was the Fifth Palace Master and had a calm and serene personality.
Seth saw the three of them near each other and couldn\'t tell at first who was who. But now, he was starting to pick some clues to differentiate them, based on their personalities.
Hua Ning was the Fifth palace Master while Hua Qing was the Fourth Palace Master. As for the lively and explosive Hua Jing, she was the Third Palace Master of the Glazed Lake, a Mana Control late-stage Realm cultivator that had an unusual lively mood, totally different from her sisters.
The three of them were triplets and had the same cultivation level and age; however, their personalities diverged a lot.
The youngest sister, Hua Jing, was the last one to be born, and had a few minutes of difference from her sisters. But because of that, she was the one that was pampered the most, developing a willful personality.
Hua Ning was just like a serene and peaceful lake, while Hua Qing\'s personality was right between that.
Palace Master Yushui answered: "He not only knows her, but he is actually her boyfriend. The one most girls that admire Caizhi wanted to hunt down and kill after torturing him for hours."
Seth heard those words, but decided to ignore them for his own good.
"What?! He is Caizhi\'s boyfriend?! How can a young lady like her be in a relationship with an old practitioner like him?" Hua Jing asked surprised.
"I\'m not old! Come on, I\'m actually from the same age group Caizhi is."
"Hm? Stop lying, you liar! There is no way a strong practitioner like yourself would be that young."
Suddenly, Eleventh Palace Master Yuhui said: "He is indeed a member from the younger generation. Not only that, but his strength is deceiving. He was able to last dozen of moves in a fight against a Profound Mana Realm beast back in the Elven Territory."
The triplets weren\'t able to believe what they were hearing. Not even those called "Male Prodigies" were able to do such a feat.
"Who is he then?"
Palace Master Yushui looked at Seth and replied to her friends: "That is something I would like to know too."
They all looked at Seth, trying to skin him with their eyes and see what laid below.
Seth immediately went forward and light bowed.
"Hello ladies. My name is Seth, a suave young man that came from the Blazing Phoenix Country."
Yushui started to introduce him the other Palace Masters, after he introduced himself.
"This is the woman you fought before, Hua Qing. That lively lady is her younger twin sister Hua Jing. The other lady that is always composed and refined is her older twin sister Hua Ning. They are all Palace Masters like me. Make sure you never disrespect them while you\'re staying inside our sect grounds."
"Eh?! Is he really going to go inside?"
"Yushui, you know this is a bit..." Even Hua Ning tried to tell her it would be going against one of the sect rules.
"I know this is against the rules, that\'s why I would like you to help me gathering the others in the meeting hall. We are going to decide on what to do together. I will tell you all, the reason I invited him there too."
"Alright... We will gather the others there to hear what you have to say. Let\'s go sisters, let Palace Master Yushui and her guest have their private conversation." Hua Ning said and her sisters agreed.
They went towards the lake and dove down to the other side.
"Palace Master Yushui. What is it that you want me to do? Actually, you don\'t expect me to do something for free, right?" Seth asked.
"Don\'t worry, I know you wouldn\'t come if you didn\'t need something.. I guess that must be the reason you came, right?" She looked towards the people that came together with Seth and saw that there was an unconscious girl, being held by a woman with a very low realm of cultivation.
