Chapter 40: Each having a Scheme
Early the next morning, the members of the warrior preparation camp arrived at the square. They already knew that Zhang Yuxian had left. Many people had heard Zhang Yuxian’s beast galloping away last night. Of course, that included Yi Yun.
“Yi Yun!” At the square, Lian Chengyu called Yi Yun from afar. His expression was still warm.
“Young master Lian, what’s the matter?” Yi Yun smiled; he knew that Lian Chengyu’s current demeanor was an act for the villagers.
At the square, there were many onlookers. Although Lian Chengyu had long since wanted to get rid of Yi Yun, he did not want to do it in front of the villagers.
Having appreciated Yi Yun, it was possible Zhang Yuxian would return to the Lian tribal clan for Yi Yun after he completed his mission.
Even if Zhang Yuxian didn’t return, he might ask about Yi Yun at the Kingdom’s selection.
If Lian Chengyu had attacked Yi Yun in public, it would make him feel better. However, with so many people watching, word would spread. At any rate, he couldn’t silence the entire tribe.
If the matter was investigated by Zhang Yuxian, Lian Chengyu would be implicated. Hence, he planned on using a slow and steady manner to get rid of Yi Yun.
Noticing that Lian Chengyu did not turn the tables, Yi Yun happily joined in with Lian Chengyu’s Tai Chi practice. Besides, if they had really broke into conflict, Yi Yun’s strength was still insufficient. Also, Yi Yun was still not done absorbing the desolate bones essence.
“Yi Yun, Lord Zhang left behind a note and a box of pills. In the note, he instructed that the pills were for the both of us. The pill for me isn’t a mild drug. A person with low cultivation cannot eat it. As for yours, it’s very suitable for building a beginner’s foundation.”
Lian Chengyu reasoned it well. If Yi Yun didn’t know who he was, he would have fully believed in it.
“Oh, a pill!?” Yi Yun’s eyes lit up. He was extremely excited and anticipant. “Lord Zhang left a pill for me?”
“Yes!” Seeing Yi Yun’s silly look, Lian Chengyu sneered in his mind. He’s indeed a retard. He actually believed that there was a pie in the sky.
“Lord Zhang sure was generous. The kindness he gave the two of us must be remembered even if we rise up!”
Lian Chengyu patted and advised Yi Yun. In his eyes flashed killing intent.
With Zhang Yuxian gone, Lian Chengyu could no longer conceal his killing intent towards Yi Yun.
“Young master Lian words are wise. Little me will not forget,” Yi Yun answered with a sincere desire of learning.
“Yi Yun, your talent is far greater than mine. When the desolate bones essence is extracted, I intend to give you some of it. This desolate bones essence not only concerns our future, but it concerns the future of thousands of lives in the Lian tribal clan. I can’t trust anyone else but little brother Yi. I will be more assured if you lead the brewing.”
“Let’s do it this way. In the day, you will carry on refining the desolate bones. When it is refined, we shall consume it together as brothers. I will then help you, allowing you to reach the second realm of Mortal Blood, Vigour. I will then give you the pill from Lord Zhang, allowing your cultivation to go one step further!”
Lian Chengyu smirked as he said those words. Yi Yun, on the other hand, knew it was a mocking expression.
Without Zhang Yuxian, to Lian Chengyu, Yi Yun was just a child who could be crushed easily in his palms.
Even if Lian Chengyu had really prepared a pill for him, it would most likely be a slow-acting poison. It would paralyze him and cause him to slowly die in pain.
But from Lian Chengyu’s point of view, no poison was better than the Frost Python’s frost toxin. It was without cure. Using the Frost Python’s frost toxin to kill Yi Yun was most fitting!
“I will complete whatever matter Young master Lian assigns me.” Yi Yun patted his chest with a guarantee. He pledged like a hot-blooded youth.
When Zhang Yuxian arrived in the Lian tribal clan, the refining of the desolate bones was not halted. Its location was just moved to the Lian Clan Herb Mountain. After all, having a huge cauldron burning day and night when Zhang Yuxian entered the Lian tribal clan was not appropriate.
