Book 2: Chapter 16.2: Meng Tai, Feng Ling, Li Wei, and Yao Yue (2)

The scene changed again, revealing a different memory. Now, it showed a small garden.

Meng Tai and Feng Ling hid behind a rock, seeking a fresh stimulus and excitement.

"Husband, don't!"

"Just a kiss. Come on, just one kiss!"

"Be quiet. Someone is coming."

Meng Tai and Feng Ling immediately held their breath.

"Is it Li Wei and Yue Yao?" Meng Tai whispered.

"How embarrassing. Don't speak." Feng Ling immediately covered Meng Tai's mouth.

"Yue Yao, my little precious, why are you always frowning? We are about to get married soon. What is upsetting you?!" Li Wei asked gently as he hugged Yue Yao while they sat at a small pavilion.

However, Yue Yao continued frowning deeply.

"Elder Brother Li Wei, look at First Senior Brother, then look at you. Right now, First Senior Brother is Elite Hall's Earth Division Master. He is under only one person in the Elite Hall, above everyone else there. Everywhere he goes in the Thousand Islands Sea, all the sects have to bow down to him when they see him. Look at you now. You are just a small sect's leader in Nine-Five Island!" Yue Yao said unhappily.

"Isn't First Senior Brother's glory my glory as well?" Li Wei smiled.

"I don't care. Elder Sister Feng Ling's husband is an influential and important person, no matter where he is. My—Yue Yao's—husband cannot be any inferior. Elder Brother Li Wei, how about we leave and try to make our mark, alright?" Yue Yao coaxed gently.

"Yue Yao, First Senior Brother said before, while he enjoys glory, it is also very dangerous. Furthermore, I also need to help Senior Brother take care of the Great Feng Mafia Family, helping him earn money. Don't overthink," Li Wei advised gently.

"I don't care! I don't care! I want to be the bride of someone important. I want to enjoy glory. I don't want to remain in this insignificant place. I don't want to!" Yue Yao cried out wilfully.

"Alright, alright, alright. You are my life. After our wedding, we'll speak to Senior Brother and try to make our mark outside," Li Wei murmured.

"That's more like it!" Yue Yao gave Li Wei a peck on his cheek.

Li Wei's face radiated happiness.

"Elder Brother Li Wei, there seem to be many people coming to Nine-Five Island recently. Aside from Elite Hall, there seem to be some other major factions. What do you think are they doing here?" Yue Yao asked curiously.

"I don't know."

"You don't know? What have you been doing?" Yue Yao glared.

"Ah?"

"I do know a little!" Yue Yao smiled to the point where her eyes narrowed slightly.

"You know? You know what is going on?"

"Just wait. I already made contact with an important person in your name. When this is over, I guarantee that you can be as glorious as First Senior Brother, no, even more glorious!" Yue Yao said confidently.

"What is it? Yue Yao, tell me!"

"No. Just wait. You will be my husband. My husband will be indomitable, above all but one. At that time, I want all the sects in the Thousand Islands Sea to bow on hearing the name of my husband, Li Wei."

"Just tell me, Yue Yao. I'm feeling very anxious now!"

"No, no, no. Just wait. Hehehehehe! Stop tickling me! Hehehehehe!"

The scene changed again. It seemed like a long time had passed. Now, the scene showed a large hall.

A woman stood upright with her hands held behind in the large hall and her back to Meng Tai.

"Meng Tai, is the information confirmed?" that woman asked.

"Yes. Hall Master, don't worry. The information is absolutely reliable. This time, my Elite Hall is the first one to find it!" Excitement flashed in Meng Tai's eyes.

"That's good. We finally found it after searching for so long. No one else knows about it, right?" That woman excitedly clenched her fist.

"Only our people know about it," Meng Tai assured gravely.

"This matter is very important. Don't let any information leak. It can cause deaths!" that woman instructed.

"Yes!" Meng Tai answered.

The scene changed again. Now, the scene showed a courtyard.

"Feng Ling! Feng Ling! Are you there?"

Meng Tai searched around for Feng Ling. Soon, he arrived at a small courtyard.

However, the small courtyard was in a sorry state, looking like a battle took place here. Meng Tai's expression changed.

Meng Tai saw Feng Ling's entire body turning purple in the small courtyard as she lay limp. Beside her, Yue Yao clutched a dagger, holding it to Feng Ling's neck and looking anxiously at Meng Tai.

"Yue Yao, what are you doing? Let go of Feng Ling!" Meng Tai roared as his expression suddenly changed.

"First Senior Brother, don't come over!" Yue Yao said anxiously.

"Yue Yao, let go of Feng Ling!" Meng Tai stared at this scene in horror.

"Husband, hurry! Hurry! The messenger crane already left, carrying information of the dragon vein. Quick, go after the messenger crane!" the weakened Feng Ling pointed at the sky.

Meng Tai looked over and saw an immortal crane with a scroll in its beak flying in the sky.

"The information leaked?" Meng Tai's expression changed; he wanted to give chase.

"First Senior Brother, don't move. If you give chase, I...I...I will kill Elder Sister Feng Ling!" Yue Yao shouted while trembling.

"Yue Yao, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Meng Tai shouted.

"I'm not crazy. First Senior Brother, you are now Elite Hall's Earth Division Master, enjoying boundless glory. You hold great authority in your hands, but why do you not think about Elder Brother Li Wei? He is your junior brother. We have lived together for so many years, helping each other out. Why do you not show care for Elder Brother Li Wei?" Yue Yao shouted as she stared at Meng Tai.

"Yue Yao, stop causing trouble. Where is the messenger crane going?" Meng Tai asked anxiously.

"First Senior Brother, don't move. Let the messenger crane go. Since you are not going to help Elder Brother Li Wei, I will. It turned out that you came to Nine-Five Island for the dragon vein. I sent the letter to Lord Li. He will definitely give Elder Brother Li Wei an important position. First Senior Brother, in light of our many years of relationship as fellow disciples, don't give chase. Don't!" Yue Yao said somewhat hysterically.

"Husband, quickly give chase. Feng Ling let you down, falling for Yue Yao's trick. She tricked me into saying it. Quickly chase the messenger crane. If you fail to do that, all of us will die. Quickly! Go!" Feng Ling cried out weakly.

"Yue Yao, you have gone mad. You have no idea of the severity of this matter!" Meng Tai said angrily and anxiously.

Meng Tai took a few steps, looking like he would charge into the sky.

"If you give chase...if you give chase, I'll kill Feng Ling!" The agitated Yue Yao pressed the dagger harder against Feng Ling's neck, drawing some blood.

"Go after it! Husband, give chase! Otherwise, you will die as well! Quickly give chase!" Feng Ling cried out.

Meng Tai appeared anxious, not knowing what to do.

"Husband, if you don't give chase, I'll kill myself before your eyes, let you see me die!" Feng Ling looked like she would press her neck into the dagger.

"I'll give chase!" Meng Tai showed a pained expression as he stepped forward.

"First Senior Brother, you know what I am like. If you give chase, I'll really kill Elder Sister Feng Ling!" Yue Yao showed a fierce expression, looking like she would cut Feng Ling's neck with her dagger.

Shing!

Meng Tai drew his sword in an instant and shot over a sword light. Just as Yue Yao pressed the dagger down, the sword light instantly chopped off Yue Yao's head.

Bang!

Yue Yao's head flew off, her eyes wide with incredulity. The dagger in her hand also dropped.

"Yue Yao! Yue Yao!" The appalled Feng Ling flopped towards the decapitated Yue Yao.

However, Yue Yao only showed an incredulous expression in her eyes. Her first senior brother, the first senior brother who doted on her, chopped off her head?

At this moment, Feng Ling was poisoned and extremely weak. She could only show horror in her eyes.

However, Meng Tai flew into the sky, caught up with the messenger crane, and killed it with one sword strike. Then, he extracted the scroll and destroyed it.

Meng Tai returned in the blink of an eye.

"Hus...husband, Yue Yao is dead!" Feng Ling exclaimed, feeling horrified.

Pain flashed in Meng Tai's eyes.

"Yue Yao, this lass, she brought this upon herself. Hah! Hah! She had gone mad!"

"Can she be saved? Can she be saved?"

Meng Tai showed an unsightly look but did not say anything.

Not long later, Meng Tai brought over a coffin, and together with Feng Ling, he quietly buried Yue Yao. He did not tell anyone else; even Li Wei did not know about this.

The scene changed again, continuing to show Meng Tai's memories.

Gu Hai had watched the previous scene in shock. He turned his head to look at the one-eyed Li Wei. At this moment, Li Wei trembled while clenching his fist, staring straight ahead.

Gu Hai glanced at Ding Rui and the First Song Sect Master. Nearly everyone stared straight ahead, especially when they had heard the words "dragon vein." From then on, everyone paid full attention.

Remaining silent, Gu Hai inched backward.

Buzz!

Gu Hai left the second layer of Meng Tai's dreamscape, returning to the first layer.

"Ah!"

Meng Tai seemed to be melting in the fire distilling his mind, revealing his memories.

Gu Hai looked at Meng Tai in the blazing fire. As he watched, he remained silent for quite a while.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a blue water ball appeared in Gu Hai's palm.

Gu Hai had just figured out how to do this. He merged his consciousness with the Water Division Master's authority token and drove the power of dreams, generating a water ball.

Splash!

Gu Hai abruptly tossed the water ball into the sea of fire, instantly drenching Meng Tai.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The sound of water evaporating into steam rang out.

"So, I can use the power of dreams like this?" Gu Hai marveled as he looked at his hands.

When outside, he could only imagine it. However, he could bring it out for real here. Gu Hai felt delighted.

"Who are you? Dream Water?" After the water splashed Meng Tai, he felt significantly better.

"Elite Hall's newly appointed Water Division Master greets the Earth Division Master!" Gu Hai replied seriously.
