Chapter 24 Escaping the Southern Winds and Rolling Waves "Friend Yan, what do you mean by that? I heard clearly what you just said, but I don't understand the implication..."

The bright daylight, at noon.

In front of the Zhai Feng Tower, Chu Wei Yang clasped his hands lightly in front of his chest, bowing his head slightly, looking at the white jade poisonous snake coiled around his wrist, watching as the snake's head raised high.

Chu Wei Yang used his index finger of the other hand to play with the white jade poisonous snake.

When the jade snake became a bit impatient from the teasing, hissing and spitting venom, Chu Wei Yang smiled, condensed a strand of demonic energy on his fingertip, then approached, watching as the jade snake breathed out, dissolving the demonic energy.

Throughout the conversation, Chu Wei Yang kept his head down, not even looking at Yan Jianming, who appeared embarrassed and anxious.

Perhaps the matter behind him was too tricky.

After this awkward silence that lasted only a moment, Yan Jianming's face suddenly showed a hint of impatience.

"Friend, was my previous statement not clear enough? Asking you to temporarily leave Zhai Feng Tower for a few days, head further south, even providing a place for you to hide for a while, is this not clear enough?"

Chu Wei Yang nodded calmly.

"Understood, very clear. But I don't understand at all why I have to leave. What is there to hide from? Yan Friend, there is no reason for this. This is the wilderness south of the Yu Sui River, a place filled with demonic and wandering cultivators. I am someone pursued by the disciples of the Sword Sect. Just because we had a deal before doesn't mean you can make me do things without explaining anything."

"It's me facing life and death risks here, not you!"

"Don't mention those pills and spirit stones, or cultivation techniques. That was from our last deal, to use me as a scapegoat for you-know-who, and I really can't understand, what could be so important that it outweighs the importance of your family's surname Chunyu?"

"Hmm... Let me think, you're ordering me around again, speaking in riddles. Perhaps there has been a change since our last deal..."

"You see, I'm standing here, and Yan Friend is also here. So what suddenly changed, is it your Chunyu junior?"

"Was he captured by the Sword Sect?"

"No! Did he run away from Ting Chang Mountain and disappear?"

"Not quite right! Hmm! I understand now! He came south to the Yu Sui River! Maybe he's coming for you or for me, and since you're not confident in resolving the issue..."

"Oh, I see. Let me go, is he coming for me?"

Muttering softly, Chu Wei Yang raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled.

"Heavens, how did the junior Chunyu know about me, a mere insignificant person!"

"I can't figure this out completely, but I think that's why he came to the southern wilderness to find me? Perhaps the moment I see him, I can unravel the mystery behind it..."

With just a few words, Yan Jianming's expression changed three times, first turning pale, then finally grimacing, biting his teeth, staring at Chu Wei Yang intensely.

However, Chu Wei Yang, who possessed the Sword Intent, keenly sensed the brewing murderous intent in that moment.

Of course, amidst the intense killing intent, there was more shock towards Chu Wei Yang's speculations.

And this shock left him speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Chu Wei Yang smiled and took a step forward slowly.

Just that one step made Yan Jianming furrow his brows sharply, suddenly smelling a delicate fragrance, momentarily letting down his guard, feeling that the trouble was not worth the agony.

Gradually, his lingering thoughts were cut off abruptly, subconsciously, Yan Jianming's mind went blank, with only Chu Wei Yang's voice continuing to echo.

"Do you want to kill me?"

"Friend Yan, hailing from Ting Chang Mountain, a disciple under the Danxia Mother, who taught you to solve problems in this manner?"

"To kill me... is quite simple, not much harder than killing an ordinary person!"

"But can killing me really solve the problem?"

"Why did you come to me in the first place?"

"Are you really prepared to take action?"

"Using the techniques and talismans taught by Ting Chang Mountain?"

"Using the lineage passed down by Danxia Mother?"

"Kill me, then ruin your own family's affairs?"

"Tell me!"

"Friend Yan, tell me, are you really prepared to do this?"

Chu Wei Yang kept pressing Yan Jianming with questions, taking a step forward with each question.

In an instant, Yan Jianming, rarely flustered, began to panic, facing Chu Wei Yang's aggressive approach, he could only step back one step at a time.

Finally, behind Yan Jianming, a series of spiritual chains intertwined to block his retreat.

He had no way back.

It seemed as if fate had already determined that he must face something head-on.

Chu Wei Yang also timely stopped his steps, looking at him with an inquisitive gaze.

Still silent.

Chu Wei Yang seemed to smile disdainfully.

"So, you weren't really prepared to do this."

"Friend Yan, you should know, I crawled out alive from the Demon-Sealing Cave, and what I saw every day, what I faced... " Chu Wei Yang suddenly hesitated, pursed his lips, and continued, "So I detest, from the depths of my soul, the way you looked at me just now!"

"Since Friend Yan doesn't intend to kill me, then you shouldn't try to provoke me!"

"Do you want to know what I'm thinking? Do you want to know what I plan to do after being provoked? Do you want to know what I endured and learned inside that eerie Demon-Sealing Cave?"

"You see, you don't want to know!"

So, Chu Wei Yang raised his hand, the hand entwined with the jade snake, gently, at an extremely slow pace, tapping Yan Jianming's face.

The hissing of the snake's venomous breath resounded clearly in Yan Jianming's ears.

At the same time, Chu Wei Yang saw the goosebumps suddenly rising on Yan Jianming's neck.

"We are friends, during our previous deal, you never made things difficult for me, I remember all of that."

"So this time, I will help you, as much as I can."

"But those seemingly intense and strong emotions won't solve any problems!"

"We need to get familiar with each other bit by bit. You help me once, I help you once, and from then on, we'll only have good karma..."

"Go hide in the southern wilderness for a few days? Sure! No problem!"

"But, Friend Yan, you have to tell me the reason behind this."

"You have to tell me the truth!"

Yan Jianming raised his chin slightly, feeling the smooth and cold scales of the jade snake brushing against his neck, causing an internal discomfort.

Staring at Chu Wei Yang intently, and Chu Wei Yang responded with a calm gaze.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Yan Jianming swallowed.

"I'll tell you the truth, can you really do as I say?"

Chu Wei Yang smiled and withdrew his hand.

"A wager, an oath, you choose one, just like in our previous deal."

Many books are becoming hard to find, so cherish them while you can.
