Ye Huan's idea was quite simple when laid bare. In summary, it was to have Jin Ling use her identity to lure the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors to a secluded place, thereby creating an opportunity for Ye Huan to eliminate them one by one. However, this plan seemed to put Jin Ling in a perilous situation.
People cherish their lives, and Jin Ling was no exception. Therefore, when she heard Ye Huan's plan, her only thought was that it was far too risky. Being used as bait to deceive the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors could lead to her being exposed, and if that happened, she would be the first to suffer the consequences. With this in mind, Jin Ling couldn't help but voice her concerns.
"No way! This is too dangerous. You want me to lure the other Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors? What if... what if I get discovered?"
"There is no 'what if'!"
Ye Huan's gaze was fixed on Jin Ling, filled with confidence as she continued, "If we don't succeed, we might as well perish. Since you want to break free from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, taking risks is unavoidable unless you can think of a better plan."
"I..."
Jin Ling hesitated, looking at Ye Huan. She swallowed all the words she wanted to say because, just as Ye Huan pointed out, she didn't have a better way to help Ye Huan eliminate the other Guardians of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. But if she wanted to escape from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, she had to take this risk with Ye Huan, regardless of the outcome.
"Have you made up your mind? This matter involves more than just you; it also concerns the feud between Yuxu Palace and the Heavenly Dragon Sect. I can't promise much, but if we can eliminate Song Zhong, one of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, then the doors of Yuxu Palace will always be open for you."
Noticing the hesitation on Jin Ling's face, Ye Huan seized the opportunity to extend an enticing offer. After all, compared to the deceitful Heavenly Dragon Sect, the united Yuxu Palace held a fatal allure for Jin Ling. Moreover, if Jin Ling truly managed to break away from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, she would indeed need a new identity.
"Alright, I know what I need to do."
After a moment of quiet contemplation, when Jin Ling raised her head again and looked into Ye Huan's eyes, determination filled her gaze. Yet for some reason, as Ye Huan met Jin Ling's eyes, she sensed something different lurking within them.
"Strange, why does Jin Ling look at me like that?"
Filled with questions, Ye Huan couldn't figure out what Jin Ling was really thinking. However, since Jin Ling had already promised to lure the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector to a secluded place, Ye Huan decided not to dwell on it further and instead discussed the details of the plan with Jin Ling.
Time flew by quickly. About an hour later, Ye Huan and Jin Ling descended from the peak of Yuxu, both satisfied with their conversation. During this time, no one knew what they had discussed at the top of Yuxu Peak, but there was no doubt that their talk would lead to the downfall of Song Zhong, one of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors.
After personally seeing Jin Ling off from Yuxu Palace, Ye Huan pondered whether he should cheer up Zhao Ziyu, who had left earlier. However, before he could step into the main hall of Yuxu Palace, Yu Wuxia had unexpectedly appeared beside him.
"Hey, Ye Huan, what were you and Jin Ling whispering about at Yuxu Peak?"
A mischievous grin spread across Yu Wuxia's face; at that moment, he could best be described as 'unruly for his age.'
"What do you think we were talking about? But what about you? Why are you looking for me? Have you come up with a way to deal with Song Zhong and the other Heavenly Dragon Sect Protectors?"
Glaring at Yu Wuxia, Ye Huan felt that this old man was being a bit disrespectful. Fortunately, every time Yu Wuxia spoke to him, they were alone; otherwise, if others saw this side of Yu Wuxia in Yuxu Palace, they might think they were witnessing an old rogue.
"Well... I really don't have a plan. I just wanted to remind you that I think Zhao Ziyu is quite a good kid. You better not follow in the footsteps of those heartless men."
Embarrassed, Yu Wuxia turned his head away. He seemed eager to avoid discussing Song Zhong and instead shifted the topic to Zhao Ziyu. After hearing this, Ye Huan was somewhat puzzled by Yu Wuxia's meaning. Regardless of Zhao Ziyu's situation, the term 'heartless man' made Ye Huan feel completely lost. He couldn't help but voice his confusion.
"Heartless man? What do you mean by that?"
"Hey, are you still playing dumb? I saw it all earlier—Zhao Ziyu was crying as she left Yuxu Peak. If I'm not mistaken, it was just you and Jin Ling from the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors up there, right?"
Ye Huan turned his head to face Yu Wuxia, and upon hearing Yu Wuxia's words, he met his gaze without fear. Especially when Yu Wuxia mentioned that only Ye Huan and Jin Ling were on Yuxu Peak, a sense of unease crept into Ye Huan's heart, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
It was no wonder Ye Huan felt this way; after all, if even Yu Wuxia had misunderstood the conversation he had with Jin Ling on Yuxu Peak, then Zhao Ziyu, who was not a mindless puppet, would surely make the same connection.
"Oh no, I need to hurry and explain things clearly to Zhao Ziyu."
Suddenly slapping his forehead, Ye Huan realized that after Yu Wuxia's comment, the mischievous grin on Yu Wuxia's face suddenly appeared endearing to him. Just as Ye Huan was about to find Zhao Ziyu to clarify the matter, Yu Wuxia unexpectedly reached out and grabbed Ye Huan's wrist, speaking earnestly, "No, you absolutely must not go and explain anything to Zhao Ziyu. This kind of thing will only make it worse."
"Uh..."
As if meeting Yu Wuxia for the first time, Ye Huan halted his steps when Yu Wuxia held onto his wrist, his eyes scanning Yu Wuxia's face curiously.
Yes, Ye Huan understood that what Yu Wuxia said was indeed true. However, this was not important to Ye Huan; what mattered was how Yu Wuxia could grasp such a principle. As the leader of Yuxu Palace who rarely left its confines, could it be that he had some untold past?
A spark of curiosity ignited within Ye Huan regarding Yu Wuxia's history. Yet considering the earlier incident on Yuxu Peak where he had sent Zhao Ziyu away, Ye Huan felt it would be more appropriate to first appease Zhao Ziyu…
