Transcending the Nine Heavens

ed a lot of public attention.

The price she had paid as a woman, in addition to her own efforts, to achieve this was too high.

Hiding her identity and leaving the Continent Centre… wouldn’t it be wasting a lifetime worth of efforts?

“Why not?” Diwu Qing Rou said calmly, “You must bear the burden of the disaster you have brought upon yourself! Your safety won’t be guaranteed if you don’t leave.
In fact, it is difficult to say whether you’ll be able to save your life even if you go right now!”

He stood up to leave after he finished speaking.

“Please! I beg you, Prime Minister! Show me the right path!” Transverse Flute Master said falling on her knees.

“There are some people you just can’t offend!” Diwu Qing Rou said, “Even if the thought has not been implemented… it is a crime in the eyes of some people.
They would certainly kill you!”

“It appears that Prime Minister is talking about… the matter of stealing the zither?” the Transverse Flute Master asked looking deathly pale.

“Correct… ” Diwu Qing Rou said slowly, “There are some people you just can’t offend! The most important thing while walking the Jiang Hu is — do not provoke a person that shouldn’t be provoked… or it would not end well.”

Then, Diwu Qing Rou disembarked the boat and left.

Transverse Flute Master was dazed.
She staggered back two steps and fell on a chair.
Her body felt powerless.
She felt as if she could not stand anymore.
She had never thought that the Zither Master actually held an influence which was simply beyond her imagination; despite being one of the three Masters like herself.

Could there be such a big disparity between two people?

Diwu Qing Rou had just gotten off the boat when he saw Young Master Yu coming in his direction.
He sighed in his heart.
Then, he moved forward and said in a welcoming tone, “Brother Yu, what a surprise! You haven’t left yet!”

“I still have some matter to attend to.” Young Master Yu said lightly, “It has nothing to do with you.”

“Something has happened, hasn’t it?” Diwu Qing Rou said indifferently.

“She must be punished for her intentions!” Young Master Yu stopped in his footsteps, and turned silent.
Then, he asked, “Do you wish to protect her?”

”No.” Diwu Qing Rou said, “I was just asking her for something.
It can be considered that this task will be done in order to assist me.
However, I won’t stop you if you wish to make a move.”

Lives of people like the Transverse Flute Master were of no consequence in the eyes of these two individuals.
It wouldn’t matter to them even if a thousand such lives were lost.

Young Master Yu snorted and said, “Diwu Qing Rou, I won’t kill her since she is the only person who plays the transverse flute.
I guess we might as well just give you credit for this one.
However, we Bamboo people will be staying here for some time.”

“You mean you want me to look after you?” Diwu Qing Rou smiled, “The Bamboo people want me to look after them?”

Young Master Yu laughed and said, “This Great Zhao is yours… it is Diwu Qing Rou’s domain.
These were the words said by you.”

Diwu Qing Rou also gave a cold laugh.

A person arrived before them as they laughed.

“His name is Jun Qing Yang.” Young Master Yu said in a relaxed manner, “Brother Diwu, it’s ok; be relieved.
Haha…”

Diwu Qing Rou also laughed.
He saw that Jun Qing Yang was about forty years old.
His hair was somewhat frosty with hardships.
The look in his eyes, as well as his skin color, showed that this person had been a part of some stories.

And… some of them must have been painful.

The turbidity in his eyes could raise a person’s appreciation towards life.

[This person’s status in the Dark Bamboo Clan mustn’t be low.] Diwu Qing Rou’s heart raised this notion and he nodded politely.
However, he also had a strange feeling in his heart, [This person seems awfully familiar… ]

“Brother Jun… have we met before?” Diwu Qing Rou asked cautiously.

“Prime Minister Diwu, I can recall that this is the first time that I’ve come to the Lower Three Heavens,” Jun Qing Yang’s voice was awfully strange.
It sounded as if metals were rubbing against each other.

“No wonder… so it’s King Level Master Jun,” Diwu Qing Rou was relieved.

Jun Qing Yang was an important member of the Bamboo Clan; he was a King level expert.
This man had been severely injured when he was young.
His throat had been slit, but luckily he didn’t die.
However, his vocal chords were entirely destroyed.
His voice began to sound strange after his injury got better.
People who heard his were absolutely terrified.

He was known as the ‘Demon-Voiced King Level Master’ in the Middle Three Heavens’ underworld.

Diwu Qing Rou knew about this person, but had never come across him.
He recognized him after hearing his voice, [It is impossible to find a similar voice anywhere under the heavens!]

“Prime Minister can call me Demonic-Voiced.” Jun Qing Yang smiled and said, “Anyways, people have been abusing me by calling me by ‘this’ name for several decades… ”

“Haha… ” Diwu Qing Rou laughed.
The doubts in his heart disappeared as he said, “King Level Master Jun has arrived in person.
It seems that he needs something to be taken care of!”

“He was recently injured.
His cultivation is somewhat damaged because of that… ” Young Master Yu said frowning.
“Therefore… Brother Diwu…”

“Brother Yu, don’t worry.” Diwu Qing Rou said in a refreshing tone, “Others cannot dare to boast about it.
But… it would be laughable… if Diwu Qing Rou’s guest is hurt in this Great Zhao…”

Young Master Yu gave a meaningful laughter and said, “I believe these words.”

Jun Qing Yan also laughed with a meaningful look in his eyes and said, “Then I would be troubling Prime Minister a little.
I’ve stopped at Lotus Lake to try my luck… I’ve tried to find Nine Joints Lotus Root before, but I’ve failed.
I will immediately leave Continent Center if I cannot find it here, and will go elsewhere to find it… ”

Diwu Qing Rou understood completely.
All the people in the world knew about the characteristics of the Nine Joint Lotus root — it was used to treat vocal injuries.
The Demonic-sounding King Level Master wouldn’t say it from his mouth, but he was very much concerned about his voice.

“No problem! I will send a group of people to provide assistance!” Diwu Qing Rou smiled.

These three people smiled at each other.
However, only their hearts knew what was hidden behind each of their smiles…
