Chapter 1380: Hexagram
In the end, Qin Yu was unable to get rid of Soft Peach. After sending Soaring Sky, Rice Paper, and Zhou Lei off, he turned and said, “Soft Peach, you should know my identity already, as do I know yours.”
Soft Peach smiled, “ You are wondering why I continue to stay with you? Why I am so thick-skinned to stay beside you all the time?”
Qin Yu was silent. It was very hard for him to say anything while looking at her face. However, his silence expressed his attitude. Aside from the three fatal blows that she gave him at the start, Soft Peach had been very close and had not harmed him. Yet, Qin Yu was still unable to trust her.
Soft Peach frowned deeply, “Favored ones are very fearless. Qin Yu, you are going too far!” This lasted a moment before she suddenly broke into a smile, “However, too bad that I ended up falling for you. Anything that I set my eyes on will not be able to leave!”
She winked at Qin Yu, “Look, look carefully. I am exactly like Peachy. Not only my face, my entire physical body is identical to her. If you don’t believe it, you can touch it for yourself.”
Qin Yu was startled by her frankness and he took a few steps back anxiously. He lowered his head and yelled, “Soft Peach!” This crazy woman was willing to do anything.
Soft Peach blinked her eyes, “Are you still not happy with touching it? If you still want more, I am fine with it, but it might not be suitable now.”
What was not suitable?
Gritting his teeth, Qin Yu turned and left. He finally knew clearly that Soft Peach was going to stick to him closely. She had such thick skin!
Why?
Love at first sight was common in novels and dramas. Such a thing would never happen for Soft Peach.
While things were not said explicitly, Qin Yu knew clearly that the fact that Soft Peach had hidden herself for so many years meant she was very clever and patient. Otherwise, would the Peach Garden and the Spring Master have allowed her to live for so long?
Everything aside, Qin Yu would never believe that this intelligent and patient Soft Peach would jump on him and stick by his side shamelessly. There was something wrong here, but Qin Yu did not know what right now.
“Wait for me!” Soft Peach called as she chased after Qin Yu. She could sense a faint admiration in the depths of Qin Yu’s eyes. He was truly a smart guy. From the very beginning, he was testing her and he might have figured something out.
It was comforting at times to be friends with smart people, but most of the time it wasn’t. However, there was no choice. She was determined to be with him.
He could not get rid of her and it was not a good time to rage at her. Qin Yu was going to try his best to ignore Soft Peach.
Thankfully, this woman was self aware. She knew that she was not welcomed and she was quiet for a large part of the time.
Qin Yu was waiting for Close Saint to send him a message through the Seal Pact. At the same time, he was curious about what kind of tricks the ancient Saints had to be able to hold back the West Desolate and Mysterious Clan in order to board the ship successfully.
Perhaps because he anticipated it, the wait did not feel long. The Seal Pact vibrated slightly and Qin Yu received the message.
The message content was very simple. It gave Qin Yu a location and it instructed him to head there with minimal interruptions. Additionally, Close Saint also reminded Qin Yu to send his group of four away. It seems like it was an area array that required a team effort. These ancient Saints seemed to be directly trying to suppress the two camps.
Obviously, this was not going to be easy. Although the group of ancient Saints had shown that they had immense powers, Qin Yu did not think too highly of them.
However, since they already decided on this, he was not going to stop them. The best case would be a complete success but even if it was not, both sides would be harmed and that was also an acceptable outcome.
Shoosh –
Qin Yu’s body flashed and he flew off. Soft Peach chased after him. Despite his cold and disrespectful attitude, she wore a smile and she did not show any displeasure.
Qin Yu’s lips twitched; her patience was very good. However, the more this was the case, the deeper her motives were. There was no one in this world who was willing to be wronged.
There was no objection to this.
The location given was not far and he reached his destination quickly. Although he was confident in his abilities, it did not mean that he would be careless. Things could take a turn at any moment.
Furthermore, in Qin Yu’s opinion, the group of ancient Saints was like wild rapids that could rage at any time. They were scarier than the deep sea.
He slowed down at a distance from his destination. He used his senses to scan the area and also called Stone Pagoda for advice. After all, there was a group of old beings in front. Who knew what tricks they had?
Close Saint had already pulled a few strings when they signed the Seal Pact. If Stone Pagoda had not interfered, Qin Yu would have fallen into his trap.
However, this time, there did not seem to be anything wrong. After confirming with Stone Pagoda three times, Qin Yu flew into the area.
Soft Peach chuckled to herself. Although she did not say anything, it was clear what she was thinking. He was very cautious!
His expression darkened but he ignored her. He still was not sure what her real personality was. However, he had an impression from his observations of her. Until he thought of what to do with her, he would treat her coldly.
Qin Yu’s silence made Soft Peach smirk and she did not continue to bother him. She stood quietly at her spot, a soft fragrance wafting off her. Qin Yu breathed in this calming scent. Though he had noticed it before, this was the first time he paid particular attention to it.
It came from her and it was not a thick fragrance but a light waft that touched Qin Yu’s heart. Right now, he wanted to stop breathing but he could feel a sense of peace and happiness.
Qin Yu had to admit that he liked this smell. It was definitely not a lure, but he knew that this woman’s personality was very compatible with him.
This was a very dangerous thought and Qin Yu quickly shook himself out of it. At the same time, a slight worry swept through him. This was a similar feeling to the one he had with Peachy.
Was it because they were completely similar to Ning Ling or did the original body and avatars have similar attributes? Although he knew very well that they were not similar, he felt close to her.
Qin Yu stopped his breathing and stopped smelling her scent. He closed his eyes and tried his best to remain calm to think about his next plans.
Soft Peach noticed his reaction. She smirked and revealed a smile in her eyes.
The relationship between the original body and the avatars was much closer than anyone could think of. Furthermore, Soft Peach was strong and after she got her freedom, the boundary between the two started to become blurrier.
Could the positions of an avatar and the original body be switched? She had tried very hard but she had not been able to break through. It seemed like this was her limit.
As such, when Soft Peach first revealed herself, she did not hide her existence. One reason was because she was unsettled by Peachy’s current situation. Secondly, there was no longer a reason for her to hide herself.
The Spring Master’s determination and his current physical health made her back off for now. However, after she met Qin Yu, she had a newfound discovery.
Though she was not sure of the exact reason, she had a strong feeling that Qin Yu had something that could help her break through her bottleneck.
This was the reason why she was so determined to stick to Qin Yu. Of course, she acknowledged that Qin Yu was outstanding and she liked him.
Soft Peach would not let such a man slip through her fingers.
When Qin Yu calmed himself down and Soft Peach noticed his reaction, the fragmented area True Saints began their move.
However, before that, someone had a different opinion to Close Saint.
“It is not difficult for us to kill a True Saint if we team up. Your decision does not seem right.”
There were a total of six ancient Saints in the fragmented area. The person who spoke fought against Number 327 before and he had a deep understanding of the Space Dao. He was one of the most powerful among the six True Saints.
This was also why he could question Close Saint. Of course, the other crucial reason was that the other True Saint who teamed up with him against Number 327 was his twin brother.
The moment he said this, another deep voice rumbled, “My brother is right. I hope you have a good explanation, Close Saint.”
The other three True Saints remained silent.
Any team that had more than two members was bound to have internal disagreements and factions.
For these ancient Saints, they were Close Saint, the twins, and the other three True Saints.
Close Saint was the lonely one. However, he had to be alone for the group of six to be split into three even subgroups. This also showed how strong he was.
He was not angry after being doubted. Instead, he remained calm, “Regardless of Virtuous Nine’s real identity, what matters to us is his cultivation. Before I met him, I considered stealing the keys from him, but I changed my mind after.”
The twins frowned, “Is he very strong?”
Close Saint half nodded and half shook his head, “He is very strong. I am not confident of defeating him myself. However, this isn’t the only reason. If the six of us work together, we can even take on a Ruler, much less someone of the same level as us.”
Seeming to have thought this through already, he said, “I had a bad feeling. More accurately, I had an intuition that if we fight against him, we might be on the losing side.”
Silence engulfed the area.
Although the six True Saints were not close, they allied together and naturally knew each other’s strength.
Close Saint was the strongest and this was the key for him acting alone. Furthermore, he had cultivated an ancient way before and he had very sharp senses. He could always avoid danger.
Many past instances had proved this. As such, no one took him lightly when Close Saint said this.
The three True Saints suddenly said, “Since that is the case, let’s do as Close Saint said.”
“It is a rare opportunity and our priority is to enter the Mountain of Flames. We should try to avoid fighting amongst ourselves.”
“That’s right, I agree with Close Saint!”
Two against one.
The twin True Saints scoffed lightly and did not add anything further.
There wasn’t a triumphant look on Close Saint and his expression remained the same. He nodded, “Since everyone is in agreement, let’s begin.”
He turned and left first.
The twin True Saints each chose a position nearby.
The other three ancient Saints took their position.
The six people formed six points. From above, the shape they formed was a hexagram.
Not long later, an intense aura burst out from the six True Saints. It pierced through the air and caused space to shake violently.
As such, a bright hexagram slowly started to form in the sky. The area it covered was large and the ship was in the middle of it. The two small world fragments and a few large areas nearby were covered within it.
The Mysterious Clan had been waiting in ambush by the ship to kill Qin Yu. The West Desolate was helpless and furious when they realized that their key was missing.
Because of that, almost everyone from the two camps was within the area of the hexagram!
