Two hours ago.
“Miss, why are we returning to Tianchi Ancient Star?” The Tianpeng, transformed into a golden-winged roc and carrying Ye Hongyi, finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him. On the desolate star where the Great Completion Holy Body's tomb was located, he vaguely felt that his young lady seemed to have figured out the identity of the mastermind behind the grave robbers. However, he didn't ask at the time, but now he finally couldn't hold back.
Ye Hongyi didn't hide anything and softly said, “Tianpeng, tell me, besides the various immortal forces, who else could steal the tombs of so many sages without anyone knowing, and also be able to conceal the secrets of heaven, so that even I can't calculate it?”
Although Ye Hongyi didn't major in the Dao of Heavenly Secrets, as a congenital Dao body, she was naturally in harmony with the Great Dao. In addition, with her powerful cultivation as support, her calculation ability wasn't weak. Therefore, Tianpeng didn't find it inappropriate when she said, “Even I can't calculate it.”
Tianpeng thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and said, “With the Holy Emperor present, the various immortal forces would never dare to do such things that would damage heavenly virtue. And in today's mortal world, those who can block your calculations, Miss, must have at least reached the peak of the Return to One Realm, and have terrifying attainments in the art of heavenly secrets. The only ones are the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter and Bai Yifei, but they obviously wouldn't do such a thing. The remaining ones are Gu Tianjun, Gu Xichao, your sister, and your junior brothers Li Beifei and Mu Qingyi.”
“But it's very clear that even your… ahem… indescribable junior brother wouldn't do such a thing. Besides these people…”
“What about Li Ruoyu?” Ye Hongyi said at this moment.
“Uh… Daoist Li, shouldn't he not do such a thing, right?” Tianpeng was a little embarrassed.
Ye Hongyi didn't dwell on Li Ruoyu, but said, “Tianpeng, you've overlooked a few people.”
“Who?” Tianpeng asked.
“The Five Heroes of Antiquity.”
Ye Hongyi's eyes flickered with divine light as she slowly spoke.
“The Five Heroes of Antiquity,” Tianpeng muttered to himself, then his sharp eyes lit up and he said, “That's right, although the ancestors of the Five Heroes of Antiquity were also people from the mortal world, they didn't grow up in the mortal world after all, and their sense of belonging to the mortal world is definitely not strong. They don't have any psychological burden when it comes to digging up ancestral graves, such a morally reprehensible thing.”
“Miss, are you suspecting all of them?” Tianpeng finally asked.
“I'm not suspecting all of them. Yun Chuan is currently caught in a gentle trap with my junior brother, and my junior brother is an old acquaintance with Jun Nanzhuo. According to him, Jun Nanzhuo is the kind of honest person in legends. I'll temporarily exclude these two,” Ye Hongyi said.
Tianpeng nodded secretly after hearing this, but after hearing Li Beifei's evaluation of Jun Nanzhuo, he was immediately embarrassed. How honest would someone have to be for a sly dog to think of him as an honest person?
“Tianpeng, fly northwest. Xiao Yi and Su Yao are there,” Ye Hongyi said.
“Are we just going to ask directly?” Tianpeng asked.
“Otherwise?” Ye Hongyi asked back in confusion.
Shouldn't we investigate secretly? Tianpeng muttered to himself, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. With Miss's strength, she can just go over and ask. If the other party doesn't cooperate, just beat them up!
Although Xiao Yi and Su Yao are both famous genius powerhouses, he has confidence in Miss.
...
“Daoist Xiao, Daoist Su, Ye Hongyi is here uninvited, please forgive me.”
In the deep valley, Ye Hongyi slowly spoke, her voice echoing throughout the entire valley.
Miss is still Miss, is she going to try being polite before resorting to force?
“Buzz!”
Just then, a faint golden light appeared around the valley. This was the barrier protecting the valley. The barrier opened a gap, and then a handsome young man walked out. It was Xiao Yi.
“Fairy Hongyi, Daoist Tianpeng.”
Xiao Yi cupped his hands at the two, while feeling puzzled. In the thousands of years on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, although they had seen each other, it was only a fleeting glance and a nod of acknowledgment, without any deep interaction. But today, Ye Hongyi and Tianpeng had both come to him.
However, Xiao Yi wasn't a competitive person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Su Yao to live a secluded life on Tianchi Ancient Star.
“Sorry to bother you.” Ye Hongyi also returned the greeting.
“Not at all, your arrival is truly an honor to my humble abode. This isn't the place to talk, please follow me.”
After saying a polite greeting, Xiao Yi was about to take the two inside.
Soon, Ye Hongyi and Tianpeng followed Xiao Yi to the valley.
Although it was called a valley, it was actually a hidden paradise, a small world. Besides Xiao Yi and Su Yao, there were actually other people living here. What surprised Ye Hongyi and the two was that besides cultivators, there were also many mortals living here.
Xiao Yi seemed to see their surprised expressions and said, “Actually, this was originally just a valley, and these mortals were the original owners of the valley. We saw that this valley had beautiful scenery, so with their consent, we created a small world here, encompassing the valley.”
“I see.” Ye Hongyi suddenly understood. With the strength of Xiao Yi and Su Yao, as long as they slightly manifested their supernatural powers, these mortals would definitely regard them as immortals and worship them. If the immortals said they wanted them to join the world created by the immortals, they would naturally be extremely willing.
Thinking of this, Ye Hongyi couldn't help but recall when her master took her as a disciple, how could she have agreed so easily? Back then, her master didn't use any magical methods, and even his wine was bought with her money.
I was so easy to deceive when I was little.
Ye Hongyi smiled inwardly.
Soon, Xiao Yi led Ye Hongyi and Tianpeng to a courtyard in the mountains. At this time, a woman with a beautiful appearance was standing at the gate of the courtyard. Her right hand was supporting her waist, seemingly to relieve the pressure on her bulging belly.
Su Yao, is pregnant!
Ye Hongyi's face was surprised when she saw this scene.
“Didn't I tell you to sit at home, why did you come out?”
Seeing this, Xiao Yi quickly walked to Su Yao's side and reached out to support her. Su Yao also took the opportunity to lean on Xiao Yi.
“Fairy Hongyi, Daoist Tianpeng, I'm sorry that I can't personally welcome you.” A trace of apology appeared on Su Yao's face, and even a hint of fatigue flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Hongyi quickly said, “Daoist Su, you don't need to be polite. If we had known that Daoist Su was pregnant, we wouldn't have come to disturb you.”
“It's nothing, your arrival is truly an honor to my humble abode,” Su Yao said with a smile.
“Did you two husband and wife compare notes?”
Ye Hongyi asked.
“What?” Su Yao was stunned and asked in confusion.
“Ahem, it's like this…” Xiao Yi explained that he had also said the same thing just now.
Su Yao smiled when she heard this, she could only say that they were indeed a couple.
Su Yao just wanted to speak, but suddenly a wave of sleepiness hit her. She whispered, “Xiao Yi, I'm sleepy.”
“Okay, I'll help you back to the room.” After saying that, Xiao Yi gave Ye Hongyi and Tianpeng an apologetic look, then helped Su Yao into the courtyard and back to the room.
“Miss, Daoist Su's body seems to be not quite right,” Tianpeng transmitted his voice.
“Yes, I can't detect her cultivation at all.” Ye Hongyi also noticed Su Yao's abnormality, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could those tomb robbing incidents be related to this?
