Jun Yixie didn’t spare Bai Yuqiao a glance before he viciously pulled out the needles in his shoulder.

“Where’s master?”

Bai Yuqiao circled around until she was standing right in front of him and grinned. “Come and beg me. Beg me and I’ll tell you.”

Jun Yixie had been in nothing but bad moods of late and swung out a fist at her words. Bai Yuqiao understood her martial brother all too well and had long ducked out of the way. “Master’s waiting for you at the harbor!”

Jun Yixie gave her a warning glare before turning to look at the sea. He remained silent for the rest of the journey until their boat arrived on land that night. His first task on shore wasn’t to find his master or even straighten himself up, but to task his subordinates with three things.

One, spread news that Northern Li’s Duke of Kang had already successfully broken through the Baili Navy’s guard and left Fishery Island.

Two, send people with gold to the City of Daughters and Carefree City, and hire large groups of mercenaries to hunt and kill Gu Qishao.

Three, issue orders to seal up all of Ouyang Ningnuo’s business in Northern Li, and stop all transactions with Tianning’s Chamber of Commerce at the borders.

Since he had lived and escaped from Fishery Island, anyone and everyone who humiliated him would have to pay the price! Once that was done, Jun Yixie cleaned himself up and had Bai Yuqiao take him to see Bai Qingyan. On their trip, he finally deigned to speak with his junior sister.

“When did master come back?” he murmured.

“A few days ago. He suddenly showed up at Hundred Poisons Sect, giving me a fright too,” Bai Yuqiao smiled. She had been defending the sect this whole time against Medical City while thinking of ways to save Jun Yixie, and had been kept plenty busy by both tasks.

“Did he say anything?” Jun Yixie asked next.

Bai Yuqiao shook her head. “You know his personality. In any case, both of you are the same, never wasting words with the likes of me.”

Jun Yixie rolled his eyes at her before finally asking how master had rescued him from the island. As soon as Bai Yuqiao mentioned the poison fog, he realized his master’s poison skills had improved yet again. After being apart for so many years, Jun Yixie found himself pausing at the door. His father had passed away when he was three, so in his master, this master was his true parent. Still, he had never understood why the man had left him when he was only thirteen.

While Jun Yixie was still hesitating, a low voice issued from behind the door. “Is that Little Xie?”

Little Xie was a childish and laughable nickname. Even Northern Li’s emperor didn’t call him like this, but master still had his old habits. Jun Yixie’s arrogant eyes flickered with a hint of sentimentality. But that quickly disappeared, and he pushed open the doors to stride in.

Inside the room was a man about forty, seated at a tea table. Although he sported a full beard, he didn’t look old at all, but only conspicuously masculine. Those dark black pupils seemed tranquil and calm, but hidden within their depths was a keen, insightful gaze. He was dressed in the simplest gray robes and sitting leisurely in his chair, but gave off an unmistakable pressure. Emperor Tianhui was about the same age as this man, who carried a far more impressive aura.
