BXBX NOVEL Chapter 225 - Deal
Unfortunately for Jiang Yi, she wasn\'t able to accompany Seth till the end, almost fainting from exhaustion. At least, she had a very happy expression while she was sleep.
He got out of the room, leaving the unconscious Jiang Yi behind. He expected that she would be gone when he arrives later at night.
Seth went down the stairs, going to the main palace hall, where he saw Palace Master Yushui\'s figure approaching.
The meeting had taken the entire night and Palace Master Yushui had a headache, since they weren\'t able to effectively reach a concrete conclusion. Now that she saw Seth, she could at least explain him what she wanted him to do and ask what he wanted in return.
"Palace Master Yushui. Are we able to talk about that now?"
Palace Master Yushui nodded and said: "Come. I wanted to talk with you as well. Let\'s go to my office room."
She guided Seth back to the second floor, where they went to a remote corridor where, they entered a very spacious room full of ancient books.
After sitting down, Seth asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"First of all, let me confirm this with you... Are you really able to purify poisons? Are you a doctor or at least know how to heal a person that was poisoned?"
"Ah... Are you talking about what I did at that time?"
Palace Master Yushui nodded.
Seth made a moment of silence, before replying: "I can purify any kind of poison."
"Any kind of poison?"
"Yes." Seth was lying. He couldn\'t purify everything, unless it was inside his own body. But he could purify the Evergreen Poison and some other substances with his Evergreen Essence. However, he had the ultimate purifying ability; Lexi. She could do it and very easily.
He could negotiate with Lexi, and that was what he would do, since he desperately needed to leave Meiyi and Meihui in a safe place. Inside this sect, he felt they could rest peacefully.
"Good.? I want you to come with me to a certain place tonight. I won\'t lie to you... Things are not so simple at the moment and I need to convince the others you are capable enough to heal a certain person. That\'s why I will need you to help me deal with that."
"Don\'t worry, you can call me when the time comes."
"Then it\'s decided. Now tell me... What do you need from me and my sect in return for your services? Please don\'t go too overboard." Yushui looked at Seth waiting for his answer.
"Palace Master Yushui, I guess you already know what it is. I need a place for them to stay for one or two years at least. They must stay safe from any danger and live peacefully during that time. After that, I will bring them home."
Yushui furrowed her eyebrows and asked: "Just that?"
Seth\'s request was something really simple. It was so simple, that even if he asked for them to stay for ten years, Palace Master Yushui would certainly accept it. She was expecting something harder, since a normal cultivator wouldn\'t waste that golden chance to acquire a lot of good resources from a Higher Ground.
"Actually, there is one more thing, but that can only be accomplished by you."
"You can say it."
"That girl called Jiang Yi, could you take her under your tutelage? Just teach her some things, if she isn\'t up to the task, you can then disconsider this favor."
Palace Master Yushui raised her eyebrows, but she refrained to say anything.
"Alright. I agree."
"Thanks. That\'s all."
"Since we are done here, you may leave. Remember that you can move freely inside my palace area, but I don\'t advise you going out. It could make things harder for us. I\'ll will leave and return later to take you. So, stay ready for the meeting tonight."
Seth nodded and left her office. He was practically free till night, so he decided to go to a peaceful place to observe some things. While going, he decided not to think why the hell did he ask something for Jiang Yi.
\'Sigh... I guess Lexi is right. These women are bewitching me.\'
Seth was not "able" to leave the Palace for now, but it didn\'t mean he couldn\'t see or explore the area outside. He still had the powerful ability called Soul Sense, an ace up his sleeves. The only thing stopping him from using it right now, was the fact that he would probably see things he shouldn\'t see. However, the fact that this was a female only sect, increased the temptation of doing that tenfold.
Actually, the Soul Sense was such a perfect ability, that the user would be able to block or concentrate on certain things he or she wanted to see. That\'s why Seth was able to stop his Soul Sense from spying behind the clothes people were using, but if he were to catch the scene of them naked, there was nothing he could do. This was the primary reason he both wanted and didn\'t want to use it now.
If not for the fact that he had already seen Serene and Rina perfect jade bodies, and Jiang Yi and Arwen mature curves, he would have been unrestrainedly using his Soul Sense. However, Seth had already tasted from the best of the best and he was able to easily suppress his desires.
Rina, Ruolan, Jiayi and Xiurong were still sleeping, since they stood the entire night talking and gossiping about many things, not being able to notice his absence.
Seth left the main hall, going to the backyard, moving farther from where everyone was.

Blazing Phoenix Country.
At the current Blazing Phoenix Sect territory, everything had changed. The corpses were already buried and the entire city was being occupied by Wu Martial Kingdom soldiers.
They quickly rebuilt many of the city walls, fearing they would suffer from other outside powers attacks, but fortunately, nothing happened till now.
It was raining today, something that only happened once or twice a year on that place; however, the frequency of rains had been increasing this year. This phenomenon was related to the Fire Labyrinth, but no one knew.
In such a gloomy day, a hooded woman descended from her horse and met with a man in a certain alley inside the Blazing Phoenix City. At the end of the alley, they could see a hidden tavern that apparently had been abandoned.
The man bowed and said respectfully: "Madame, everything is settled according to your wishes."
She walked past him, going towards the tavern. While passing by his side, she threw him a bag full of gold coins and said: "Make sure to keep it a secret."
The man received the bag and left. He was none other than the person that assumed the leadership of the Wu Martial Kingdom army, after the death of the previous commander. That man was mysteriously found dead inside his room, but no one knew how he died or if anyone had killed him.
The woman opened the unlocked door and entered the abandoned tavern. But just as she entered, she saw that there was a man already waiting for her there. He had a burly figure, full of blonde hair and muscles, like he was born with a beast constitution.
The woman walked up to him and asked: "Are you the representative of the Lion\'s Pride Golden Palace?"
The man furrowed his hairy eyebrows and asked: "What do you want from me?"
The woman realized she was mostly right by the way he spoke.
"I am Wu Cuifen."
"What do you want from me?" The man said in a deeper tone, showing her, he didn\'t want to know who the hell she was, just for what reason the Wu Martial Kingdom wanted to talk with the Lion\'s Pride Golden Palace.
"I want to make a deal!"
The man turned towards her and wildly laughed.
"Ahahaha! A deal? What could a person from a lower ground such as the Wu Martial Kingdom, possibly offer us in a deal? What a joke!"
He didn\'t even ask what she could offer, disregarding the possibility of her offer being good. His pride wouldn\'t let him believe that was possible.
Wu Cuifen disliked his behavior, but she had to put up with it.
"I have information! The real reason the Wu Martial Kingdom attacked the Blazing Phoenix Sect was not because of what everyone knows.. It\'s because of something else, something way more important."
