Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1445: Chapter 843: The First Table! Li Fengkongmo and He’s Jade

This woman appears to be half-asleep, her demeanor lazy, yet she gives off a feeling of utmost dignity. She is dressed in a gray robe, wearing a single wooden clog — loose and flowing, revealing no flesh, offering no allure, devoid of feminine charm. That penetrating sense of coldness seems ingrained deep within her bones, as she casts a glance at Sui Yi in her nebulous state.

She opens her eyes, her step pauses briefly.

That pause.

Their glance back at each other is like a temporal glitch between two worlds; this stutter caused the axis of the world to collide, thus blossoming a charm exceeding that of the surrounding peach blossoms.

The people behind couldn’t move, but the customs within The Gate are strict, with utmost regard for their superiors. Even if the person ahead doesn’t move, or if she decides to sleep here, they must dutifully stand behind her as protectors, thus standing quietly one by one.

Gu Sansi, on the side, seemed oblivious as he stepped down another stair, also pausing slightly before proceeding with his light steps.

She turned her head to look at Sui Yi.

Everyone behind turned uniformly towards Sui Yi, even Yi Dao furrowed his brow slightly.

This person had been mentioned in the intelligence.

Sui Yi, a person of utmost importance, ranking among the top five secrets within The Gate.

Only the Sect Leader has the authority to view the details.

He only knows some surface-level things.

Indeed, a person impossible to ignore.

At that moment, peach blossoms fluttered.

Sui Yi’s gaze walked around this woman slowly, as if hesitating over something. Initially clear, but within a moment, it turned deeply gloomy, like ink that cannot be diluted, then she pressed her lips slightly, simultaneously turning away with this woman, one moving forward, the other descending the steps.

Gu Sansi stood between them, her gaze intersecting with Sui Yi’s withdrawn look. Her expression looked slightly deeper, then seemed to carry a faint smile as she sidestepped away...

Behind, the Imperial Guards and The Gate’s masters followed one by one.

Imperial Guards, usually reserved, today exhibited a relaxed aura, only because the masters from The Gate came with ill intentions.

Forced by necessity, their aura was activated.

Thus, the emergence of top masters from two superpowers brought immense pressure to this bustling venue.

The fear of slaughter silenced chickens, ducks, and geese.

In the silence, under the watchful eyes...Sui Yi...

"Anyone here?"

Old Master’s expression froze a moment, while Fu Ling, keeping a gap from Old Master to avoid suspicion, promptly glanced at the chairs and replied with strong authority: "No one! Sit."

Sui Yi sat down.

Old Master’s face turned green.

The expressions of many were fascinating.

The Patriarch of the Mo Family looked like he was contemplating his own daughter, thinking, indeed, as rumored...not following the ordinary path.

The first table seated four people.

Marquis Gu Wen, Gu Sansi, Yi Dao, and the person who just locked eyes with Sui Yi briefly...

"It’s her, huh?"

At the third table, Sui Yi had a familiar connection with Ye Zixu and Huang Long, and was an acquaintance with Fu Ling, who had the intention to befriend Sui Yi...also to earn some favor with Old Master.

"The one from The Gate, she is also the Vice Sect Leader."

The Gate has one Sect Leader, three Vice Sect Leaders, presenting a three-legged stand, topped by one King.

Two Vice Sect Leaders arrived at once.

"But compared to Yi Dao and the other person, this Vice Sect Leader doesn’t handle affairs. She only receives direct orders from the Sect Leader, her tasks have never failed, including the recent decapitation mission..."

Mentioning this, Ye Zixu did recall, just a couple of days ago, both he and Huang Long saw on the Adventure Guild webpage that a core master of the Ghost Party was forcibly decapitated right at the Ghost Party’s doorstep; the official page and rumors both mentioned it was a certain Vice Sect Leader of The Gate responsible...

"Was it her?"

Guess no one would connect this woman to such terror.

Of course, compared to Yi Dao and another’s achievements, she was rather low-key, after all, for a Vice Sect Leader level abnormality, if there weren’t any heads to garnish, it wouldn’t justify the high position.

Huang Long also thought, having been off the mountain for years, the changes down here are becoming quite...

"The tigress down the mountain is even more terrifying now..."

"What are you saying!"

Fu Ling rolled her eyes coldly, "There are two women here, you know..."

Huang Long suddenly noticed Sui Yi was still around.

However, since sitting, Sui Yi poured tea but didn’t drink, seeming to contemplate something...

"Talking is one thing, do you know her name?"

These old Sect Masters like Huang Long rarely go abroad, unaware of international changes, Fu Ling, on the other hand, knew more secrets.
