Volume 1, Chapter 74 – The Young Sect Master of Lingxu Sword Sect

Locked in the room by layer upon layer of restrictions was a young girl in yellow clothing, approximately fifteen or sixteen years old. Her age appeared to be slightly younger than Song Shiyuan’s.

At this moment, she was lying lazily on her side against the bed, her clothes half undone.

Her rosy lips had blood scabs from being bitten, and on her exposed snowy jade neck, ambiguous mottled marks could faintly be seen.

This was a cute girl whose appearance was no less than Song Shiyuan’s.

Only now, her complexion wasn’t very good.

Her face was pale with a somewhat sickly pallor, and between her brows was a trace of gloomy depression.

She looked somewhat weak.

Most eye-catching was that around her snowy white jade neck was a metal ring the same as the one on Song Shiyuan’s neck.

That was a female consort’s identifying collar.

When this girl saw Song Shiyuan and the little fox demon, some surprise also showed on her face.

She laughed lightly.

“How strange.”

“A pure yang sword cultivator, and a fox demon.”

“What do you want to play today?”

The woman raised her hand to tug at her collar, looking toward Lu Zhuxin beside Song Shiyuan.

“This fox demon sister, do you want to come together?”

Song Shiyuan frowned. The way this woman looked at the little fox demon made Song Shiyuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She shifted her steps slightly, blocking the little fox demon behind her.

“We came to find you,” Song Shiyuan said. “Not to play.”

“Not to play?” The yellow-clothed young girl looked at Song Shiyuan and said, “Sword cultivator, don’t you know what kind of place this is?”

Song Shiyuan was speechless.

Previously, she truly didn’t know what kind of place Red Spring Pavilion was. The little fox demon had also been evasive and unwilling to explain it to her.

Only after she actually entered Red Spring Pavilion did Song Shiyuan understand what kind of place this was.

The little fox demon tugged at Song Shiyuan’s sleeve and said softly, “Red Spring Pavilion… is the place where the fox demons in the Fox Palace handle their heat period lustful restlessness.”

The fox clan in the Fox Palace, after their heat period arrived, could choose to activate formation restrictions and confine themselves within their rooms.

But fox demons were inherently a race with vigorous desires. Not all fox demons were willing to endure the suffering of surging desire while confined.

Thus, Red Spring Pavilion existed.

Some fox demons, when their lust was restless, chose to come here to find the pure yang sword cultivators here for shallow marking, to suppress their heat period’s lustful restlessness.

Of course, no one in the Fox Palace stipulated that one couldn’t come when it wasn’t heat period.

Very obviously, the cute yellow-clothed girl before them, like a little yellow chick, had mistaken the little fox demon for one of those fox demons who came to find her for pure yang marking.

“The one who came to find you is me, not her,” Song Shiyuan said.

“You’re looking for me?” The yellow-clothed girl shifted her gaze and only then noticed that on Song Shiyuan’s neck was the same female consort collar as hers.

“What? So you’re also a sword cultivator who was sold here like me.” The girl laughed lightly.

“You’re the Young Sect Master of Lingxu Sword Sect, Huang Shangshang?” Song Shiyuan got straight to the point.

“That’s me. What about it?” The yellow-clothed woman before her narrowed her eyes slightly. Only then did she carefully look Song Shiyuan over. “You… are you a disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect?”

“I recognize you. I’ve seen you! Your surname is Song. You’re a disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect!”

Huang Shangshang suddenly burst into wild laughter. “What’s this? Even people from Lingxiao Sword Sect have this day?”

Song Shiyuan frowned. “As fellow sword sect disciples, why does Young Sect Master Huang say such things?”

“Why do I say such things? Hehe. If not for Lingxiao Sword Sect’s betrayal, the demon realm people wouldn’t have discovered our tracks so quickly. We wouldn’t have been ambushed by demon realm powerhouses without any preparation.”

“If not for Lingxiao Sword Sect, my sect’s disciples wouldn’t have been slaughtered wholesale by the demon race.”

A trace of ferocity flashed across the yellow-clothed young girl’s face. “If not for Lingxiao Sword Sect, I wouldn’t have been captured by these fox demons, locked up here, humiliated day after day.”

“Tell me, how can I not hate Lingxiao Sword Sect?”

“However, now seeing you, I realize that even Lingxiao Sword Sect disciples can be as unlucky as me.”

“It seems that shameless villain didn’t even spare his own sect members.”

“Let me guess. Were you also suddenly discovered by fox demons during training and captured here by name?”

The yellow-clothed young girl laughed maliciously.

Song Shiyuan’s breath immediately caught.

This Young Sect Master Huang before her had guessed without the slightest error.

Listening to her words, she was also captured this way?

“Seems I guessed correctly.” Huang Shangshang still laughed lightly. “Whether it’s you or me, we’re both nomination certificates that person presented to the fox demons.”

That person? Which person? Who exactly is that person?

“Who exactly is that person you’re talking about?” Song Shiyuan asked.

She hadn’t forgotten that besides helping the people from Lingxu Sword Sect find their Young Sect Master, Song Shiyuan had other purposes.

The little fox demon had said there were bad people in Lingxiao Sword Sect.

That male sword cultivator from Lingxu Sword Sect had also said they were betrayed by people from Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Song Shiyuan didn’t dare believe it. What exactly did that person want to do?

Could he… really be that man?

The yellow-clothed female sword cultivator saw Song Shiyuan’s uncertain expression.

She continued, “I don’t know who he is. That person couldn’t be stupid enough to leave evidence that could be easily found. But at the time, those who knew our whereabouts, besides our own sect disciples, were only people from Lingxiao Sword Sect…”

“Moreover, looking at you, you should already have a suspected candidate.”

“You suspect someone, but don’t want to believe it’s him. So you came to find me hoping to find proof from me that it wasn’t him, right?”

The yellow-clothed young girl saw through everything. “The expression on your face doesn’t look at all like someone searching for a traitor.”

“The person you suspect, couldn’t be someone very important to you?”

“Hehe… laughable.”

Song Shiyuan’s brows furrowed tightly. “I don’t mean that.”

Rеаd οո KаtRеαⅾіոgСαfе

Song Shiyuan was indeed suspecting Song Shixuan.

But Song Shixuan was after all Lingxiao Sword Sect’s Young Sect Master. His identity was special, with too many implications.

Moreover, he was also Song Shiyuan’s older brother.

Song Shiyuan didn’t dare imagine what consequences it would bring if those terrible suspicions of hers were true.

Lu Zhuxin watched all this from the side in silence, laughing lightly in her heart.

The seed of doubt could continue to grow.

What Huang Shangshang said was half true, half false.

In the original text, Lu Zhuxin had mentioned such a line.

During Song Shixuan’s search for the Fox Monarch, he had once encountered pursuit by demon realm powerhouses.

To escape, Song Shixuan diverted the trouble eastward, leading the pursuing demon realm powerhouses to Lingxu Sword Sect’s stronghold, wanting to borrow the strength of Lingxu Sword Sect’s powerhouses to deal with the demon race.

Then, conflict erupted between both sides, and Song Shixuan withdrew.

These basics were true.

But there was one point that was false: that Lingxu Sword Sect lost to the pursuing demon realm powerhouses was false.

And this point was only known to the people of the Fox Palace and Lingxu Sword Sect’s Young Sect Master Huang Shangshang herself.

This didn’t prevent Lu Zhuxin from making an issue of this matter.
