A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

After explaining the plan, Empress Yunxiao's gaze fell on Ye Yun.

It seemed that Ye Yun was in charge among the three people present.

"How is it? Is the plan I proposed feasible?"

Feeling her gaze, Ye Yun fell into deep thought.

"this……"

He pondered for a long time, then couldn't help but ask.

"Senior, you trust us that much? If anything goes wrong, you'll be in danger."

According to their plan, you are essentially handing your life over to them.

Empress Yunxiao trusted these people who were not related to her at all.

Empress Yunxiao's answer to this question was quite frank.

"In the past, I certainly wouldn't have believed you."

"But after watching your two clashes with the Ascension Sect, my opinion has changed."

"To achieve great things, it's okay to take a little risk."

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly.

Taking a risk?

This is not just a little bit...

Ye Yun and the other two exchanged glances, seemingly considering something.

Aside from the question of whether the plan could succeed, there was another consideration: the credibility of Empress Yunxiao.

Just then, Luo Meng, who was the most vigilant, looked at her and said.

"Senior, I have some questions about your connection with the Ascension Sect."

Empress Yunxiao glanced at her, seemingly guessing what she wanted to express.

"In the end, is it still me? Speak, what do you want to ask?"

Then, Luo dreamed for a moment and asked.

"Since you had contact with that Ascension Cult Leader, didn't she ever invite you to join the Ascension Cult?"

This question, however, served as a reminder to Ye Yun.

He immediately followed up with a question.

"Indeed, you didn't start the war right away, did you?"

Based on my previous experience.

If that Ascension Cult Leader encounters someone who poses a threat...

The first thing to do is to win them over, not to fight them.

Then the same must be true when dealing with this Empress Yunxiao.

When this matter was brought up, Empress Yunxiao was quite sincere and nodded directly.

"Indeed, as you said, that cult leader spent a lot of time and effort trying to win me over before that."

"And during this time, they also promised me many benefits, many of which were very tempting."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun asked with great interest.

"If that's the case, why did you refuse, senior?"

"Could it be that you have no interest in becoming an immortal?"

After receiving confirmation from Nangong Jiutian, the methods of the Ascension Sect were indeed deemed feasible for achieving immortality.

However, the method was a bit too brutal, making it unacceptable to most people...

Speaking of this, Empress Yunxiao snorted coldly.

"To become an immortal... I am naturally interested."

"However, what the Ascension Sect has done has seriously crossed my bottom line."

At this moment, Ye Yun pressed for an answer.

"Even so, the temptation it presents must be quite great, right?"

This is estimated to be true for the vast majority of people.

Immortality and the so-called bottom line.

The former is far more attractive than the latter.

If someone you don't know well chooses the latter, you might dislike it, but you can understand it.

But if someone chooses the former, then he might have some doubts.

Unless... there's some story behind it.

As expected, Empress Yunxiao shook her head after hearing his words.

Even so, I will not cooperate with that guy.

At this point, she glanced at Ye Yun, seemingly considering something.

After a while, she slowly spoke.

"Since you are hesitant, I will tell you a simple story."

"There was a little girl who was born in a city in the western continent of the mainland."

"Her father was the lord of a city, a powerful expert in the Imperial Realm, and she was surrounded by loving family and friends."

"Her entire childhood was spent in endless bliss."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this little girl will grow up normally, cultivate to become stronger, and inherit the position of city lord."

"But everything changed in that disaster."

"A certain evil cultivator practicing unorthodox arts sought to break through his limitations and advance to the Emperor rank."

"Then they used vicious methods to destroy the entire city, and afterwards carried out a bloody massacre, congealing the power of blood."

"Of the nearly one million people in the city, only that little girl escaped under the protection of others."

"Later, that little girl survived by the skin of her teeth, enduring countless hardships, and only gradually became stronger through a series of fortuitous events."

"Later, after experiencing life and death and countless dangers, she finally succeeded in advancing to the Emperor rank and completed her revenge!"

After listening to her story, Ye Yun fell silent for a moment, then said with some emotion.

"I never imagined that you had such a story."

The girl in this story is practically the protagonist template.

Having lost his family and home at a young age, he became a powerful figure and sought revenge through chance and coincidence.

And the protagonist of this story is undoubtedly the Cloud Empress standing before us.

As the person telling the story, perhaps because it was so long ago, her expression was unexpectedly calm.

"I've said all this just so that Elder Ye understands that I have absolutely no possibility of cooperating with evil cultivators."

Indeed, if her past is as described.

If it were me, I would probably want to kill every evil cultivator in the world.

Cooperation? Absolutely not!

Ye Yun and Yue Rushuang exchanged a glance, then looked at Luo Meng.

Then, he looked at Empress Yunxiao and said.

"I trust you, but this matter is of great importance. Could you allow us some time to consider it?"

On a smaller scale, this was just a joint operation to eradicate evil cultivators.

On a larger scale, it will affect a considerable number of top experts across the entire continent.

Success or failure could directly affect the future fate of the continent, leaving him no choice but to be cautious.

"no problem."

Empress Yunxiao did not press the issue and nodded quite frankly.

"But this is a precious opportunity, so please make a decision as soon as possible."

"You may stay here in the manor for now. Once everything is settled, please inform me immediately."

As for the urgency, it's likely because the date of the Ascension Sect's operation is not far off.

"We understand, and we will make a decision as soon as possible."

After saying that, Ye Yun thought for a moment and asked a question.

"By the way, after we're here, may we wander around the manor on our own for a bit?"

This request was also made in order to take a brief look at the City Lord's Mansion.

If the city lord is guilty, then no matter how thoroughly it is cleaned, it will never be completely spotless.

If there are still no problems and an agreement is reached with Yue Rushuang and the others, then we can trust Empress Yunxiao.

"sure."

Empress Yunxiao agreed to his condition without hesitation.

She smiled faintly, and then explained as if she had just remembered something.

"Two days before Elder Ye arrived, the princess from the Azure Dragon Empire also made this request."

"If you want to see something, feel free to find it yourselves."

As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant, handed it to Ye Yun, and explained.

"This jade pass allows you to go anywhere within the manor."

This pass token alone demonstrates the Cloud City Lord's great sincerity.

"In that case, this junior will not stand on ceremony."

Ye Yun glanced at it and took it directly.

He then examined the token for a moment and smiled.

"By the way, senior, you trust us that much?"

Presenting a pass of this level is tantamount to showing them everything.

Empress Yunxiao responded dismissively.

"I believe in Elder Ye, and I also believe in myself."

"..."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"Understood, we will get back to you as soon as possible."

After the conversation ended, Empress Yunxiao called out to the outside.

"Someone come here."

In the blink of an eye, the white-clad guard outside the door walked in and bowed respectfully to him.

"Lord City Lord, what are your orders?"

"Take these distinguished guests to their accommodations, and do your best to meet any needs they may have."

Upon hearing this, the white-clad guard respectfully responded.

"Yes, Lord City Lord."

Then, she looked at Ye Yun and the others with a face full of enthusiasm.

"Distinguished guests, this way please."

Led by the female guard, they temporarily left Empress Yunxiao's study.

As per Empress Yunxiao's instructions, accommodations were arranged for them first, and they could go wherever they wanted afterwards.

After seeing Ye Yun and the others off, Empress Yunxiao gazed out the window, lost in thought.

……

Before long, the white-clad guards led them to a courtyard.

Upon entering, one is greeted by three antique-style rooms.

The white-clad guard looked at Ye Yun and the other two, and said with a smile.

"Distinguished guests, these rooms have all been cleaned and are ready for you to choose from."

"If you need anything, there are maids outside the courtyard. Just tell them."

Ye Yun glanced around and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, you can go now."

Upon hearing this, the white-clad guard bowed and turned to leave.

Only Ye Yun and the other two remained in the courtyard.

They entered one of the houses, which was quite spacious.

As for the decorating style, it is basically consistent with the exterior, leaning towards a rustic style.

Judging from the environment alone, it does have the feel of a fairyland, and there shouldn't be any problem living there.

Luo Meng raised her hand and enveloped the entire room with a soundproof barrier.

Ye Yun looked at the two women and asked thoughtfully.

"Ru Shuang, Senior Luo, what do you think?"

He was naturally referring to the matter raised by Empress Yunxiao.

And whether what the other party says is credible or not.

In response, Yue Rushuang pondered for a moment.

"In my opinion, Senior Yunxiao's sincerity is genuine and it shouldn't be an act."

"Otherwise, she would be far too terrifying."

At this moment, Luo Meng suddenly spoke up to remind her.

"But I always felt that things were going too smoothly."

"Don't forget, what did we originally come to the Western Continent for?"

The "first time" mentioned here refers to what Ye Yun and Yue Rushuang said when they were in Shenwu City.

Ye Yun wanted to come to Xizhou as an envoy to try to make contact with the powerful figures there and try to persuade them to attack the Ascended Immortal.

Before they even arrived, the opportunity came knocking on their door.

As one of the overlords of the Western Continent, the city lord of Cloud City personally sent a message to them, hoping to jointly plot the attack on Ascension Immortal.

Everything went smoothly, almost like a pre-arranged script for them...

"To be honest, I think so too; things have gone a little too smoothly."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then echoed.

He firmly believed in the principle that something unusual must be amiss.

Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang frowned and asked.

"So what do you want? To continue your investigation in the city lord's mansion?"

"Well..."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"Whatever, let's take a look first. After all, they gave us this stuff, it would be a waste not to look at it."

He took out the jade token that Empress Yunxiao had given him earlier and said meaningfully.

"Who knows, we might even make an unexpected discovery?"

In fact, he knew very well that even if there was a problem with the city lord's mansion, the three of them might not be able to find it.

The problem is, there were more than just the three of them present; there was also Nangong Jiutian!

Immediately, Ye Yun shouted it out in his mind.

"Senior! Senior Nangong! It's time to wake up, we have work to do!"
