Chapter 970 The Night Maiden's Heartfelt Wishes: Requesting an Audience with Emperor Huai
"really?"
Ye Kang's eyes lit up, revealing a curious look.
Ye Meijue was even more puzzled, not understanding why Ye Kang would be so interested in the powerful figures of Wuzhou.
Of course, what she knows isn't anything secret, so there's no harm in telling her.
She cleared her throat and said, "Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, three powerful figures from other places came to Wuzhou at the same time, seemingly wanting to challenge Emperor Huai. Thus, a great battle broke out. This battle darkened the sky and earth, and Wuzhou was almost completely sunk into the sea. In the end, Emperor Huai naturally won, and the three powerful figures all disappeared. It is unknown whether they died or escaped. Many years later, another mysterious powerful figure came to Wuzhou. This time, no war broke out, and no one knows what happened. All that is known is that after that powerful figure came, Emperor Huai went into complete seclusion and never showed his true form again."
After saying that, Ye Meijue smiled helplessly: "That's all I know. Whether it's true or false, I guess no one knows. It can only be regarded as some stories, not a secret. If you ask other people, you should get the same answer."
Ye Kang nodded and said, "That's enough. Actually, I'm not just curious. One of my ancestors once visited Wuzhou. I don't know if that ancestor is still alive. I was thinking of finding some clues in Wuzhou."
Ye Meijue revealed a look of sudden realization: "So that's how it is. Your talent is so amazing, your ancestor must have been no ordinary person either. If he was indeed one of the powerful figures, I think only one person could have seen him."
"who is it?"
"Lord Huaidi, he is too ancient. He is the only one who still knows a little about the hundreds of thousands of years of history of Wuzhou."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang gave a wry smile: "If my ancestor was truly an enemy of Emperor Huai, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?"
Ye Meijue curled her lips in disdain: "You underestimate him too much. How could he, with his magnanimity, hold a grudge against something that happened hundreds of thousands of years ago? Besides, if he really held a grudge, he would have been a corpse when you last saw him. Do you think anything can be hidden from the all-knowing Emperor Huai?"
"In that case, I was petty. I apologize to you. May I ask if I may use the Night Maiden tribe's place again to request an audience with him?"
Ye Kang bowed sincerely, as if expressing his true feelings.
Although he was just spouting nonsense, in a sense, how could Yin Shengmojun not be considered his ancestor?
He inherited the legacy of the Luofu Holy Sect, so he could be considered half a junior to the other party, and therefore it wasn't exactly a lie.
Ye Meijue didn't hesitate and said directly, "I can't make the decision, but I can take you to see the clan leader and plead for you. However, how do you plan to repay me?"
Ye Meijue revealed a sly smile.
Ye Kang also smiled and said, "I certainly won't make things difficult for Miss Ye. I do have some treasures here, and I hope Miss Ye won't find them offensive."
With that, Ye Kang waved his right hand, and a row of treasures appeared in the air.
A divine weapon usable even by those at the True Realm, a spiritual treasure shaped like a flower basket, and three bottles of pills—all are treasures suitable for female cultivators.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, nothing much, Miss Ye, please accept it."
Ye Kang smiled faintly. These things were his spoils of war, all good things, but unfortunately, they were no longer enough for his cultivation level.
It has no other use besides being given as a gift.
Upon seeing this, Ye Meijue immediately opened her mouth wide.
She never expected that her casual remark would actually lead to this guy giving her so much!
These are all valuable items that I can use right away.
Ye Meijue blushed and whispered, "Have you thought this through? I won't be polite with you. If you dare to give it to me, I really dare to accept it."
Ye Kang laughed heartily: "What wouldn't I dare to do? I'm overjoyed to have gotten to know Miss Ye these past few days, how could I not send her a small gift?"
"loquacious!"
Ye Meijue gave a slight, coquettish laugh, said nothing more, packed up her things, and turned to walk towards the tribe.
Ye Kang naturally followed along without any hesitation.
Throughout the journey, Ye Meijue spoke much less, but a faint blush remained on her face.
The man beside her was truly different from others, especially compared to her former husband, the Holy Emperor.
If Emperor Huai had arranged for her to marry Ye Kang instead, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up as a discarded wife...
Ye Meijue was lost in thought the whole way and didn't bother to say anything to Ye Kang. Soon, the two returned to the Ye Nu tribe, found the Ye Nu chieftain, and Ye Meijue told him about the matter on Ye Kang's behalf.
Upon hearing this, the Night Clan Chief frowned deeply.
If a non-Mist Continent person wants to use the territory of the Night Maiden tribe to seek an audience with Emperor Huai, and Emperor Huai is displeased, who can bear the consequences?
But Ye Kang is no ordinary person. Last time, Emperor Huai said that this kid had at least two things to ask him. Could this be one of them?
Did Emperor Huai already guess it?
With this in mind, Chief Night Maiden made up her mind. Since Emperor Huai had already foreseen this, she might as well do him a favor.
She said, "Since you have been kind to Meijue, I should naturally agree to this. However, I cannot guarantee whether I can actually get an audience with Emperor Huai."
Ye Kang was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Of course, no matter what the outcome, I will never forget the great kindness of the Night Maiden Clan."
"That's all. Now come with me."
Ye Kang and Ye Meijue followed the clan leader to that underground forbidden area once again.
Upon reaching the entrance, the Night Clan Chief said, "Fellow Daoist, please go in alone. Just wait quietly, and Lord Huai Emperor will naturally know."
"Thank you."
As Ye Kang stepped into this forbidden area, the thick root system appeared before him.
Ye Kang bowed respectfully: "Junior Ye Kang requests an audience with Emperor Huai."
There was no response, but Ye Kang did not lose heart. He just bent over and remained motionless.
At the same time, laughter rang out from the darkness.
"He's just a junior after all. Last time it must have been an accident. This time I won't let you try to take advantage of me. Why don't you come and find me obediently?"
Emperor Huai still spoke in that ancient voice, but now, as he talked to himself, it lacked its usual sacredness and instead sounded more like that of a playful old man.
Originally, he had expected that Ye Kang would have come to ask him for help when he last looked for the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron, but the kid had guessed it himself.
But there's another thing: even if this kid is incredibly lucky, he can only come to me for help.
After all, in this world, apart from himself, probably no one else knows where that guy is.
Emperor Huai looked down into the deeper darkness, his eyes filled with a hint of smugness and boastfulness.
"Fellow Daoist, it's been a hundred thousand years. Finally, someone has come to see you. Why don't you wake up quickly?"
