Emperor Ye stood far outside the protective array of the Azure Balance Sect, feeling a sense of despair in his heart. He was certain that after he left, Chi Yao had come again to reinforce the array. Clearly, this formation was set up to deal with people like him—those who wanted to secretly meet Lady Serena.
One had to admit, Chi Yao, that old monster, was truly meticulous—he left Emperor Ye with no options at all.
Feeling somewhat dejected, Emperor Ye returned to his inn. With Chi Yao here, even in a Dao contest, he would not be a match for Chi Yao.
Wait, something was off. Emperor Ye suddenly stopped. Previously, when Joe Di spoke to him, he mentioned that Chi Yao was ambushed by Xiang Chenchen precisely because of a woman named Serena...
Could this Serena be Lady Serena of the Azure Balance Sect? Emperor Ye quickly became certain—the Serena from back then must have been Lady Serena of the Azure Balance Sect. Otherwise, how could a powerhouse like Chi Yao make such a mistake?
"Sir, Jade Wall City is famed as the twin city of artifacts and pills. Are you looking to purchase top-tier treasures or supreme elixirs?" A slightly shy voice sounded next to Emperor Ye.
Emperor Ye looked at the young attendant in green before him, puzzled. The attendant's cultivation level seemed obscured, likely concealed. But what puzzled Emperor Ye more was the sense of familiarity—he was sure he had never met this attendant before.
Originally, Emperor Ye had no intention of speaking, but he nodded and said, "I do need a treasure. Lead the way, I'll take a look."
"Certainly, sir. Please follow me." The attendant in green said, turning to walk ahead.
Emperor Ye followed the attendant and noticed that they were heading out of the city. He hesitated only briefly before resolutely following along.
With his current cultivation and strength, there was nothing in little Jade Wall City for him to worry about. As for whether Chi Yao was waiting outside, Emperor Ye was even less concerned.
A powerhouse like Chi Yao has his pride. If he truly wanted to act, it would be a direct confrontation. Even if there were schemes, they would be in the midst of battle, not through such roundabout methods—this was definitely not Chi Yao's style.
Once outside Jade Wall City, the attendant in green immediately summoned a skycar, saying nothing as it shot forward.
Emperor Ye also said nothing, summoning his own flying artifact and following after the attendant.
They flew through the night, and by dawn, the attendant's skycar only accelerated. After three days, the attendant finally stopped.
"My friend, you brought me here, but..." Emperor Ye's words broke off suddenly, seeing the attendant gazing at him, eyes brimming with tears.
Before Emperor Ye could speak again, the attendant wiped at their face and hair.
It was no longer the attendant in green. With long hair falling down, an astonishingly beautiful woman appeared before Emperor Ye.
"Serena..." Emperor Ye felt something catch in his throat. He had never imagined the attendant was Serena Green in disguise.
"Brother Ye, thank you for coming to find me..." Serena could hold back no longer and threw herself into Emperor Ye's arms.
