Chapter 232 - Trap

Thinking of how Teacher An Li had actually set him up, Ye Haochuan felt utterly annoyed!

At that moment, An Li’s coquettish voice could be heard from inside the dormitory, “Ruonan, do you really have the heart to push me towards that guy?”

When Ye Haochuan heard the name Ruonan, he found it amusing, as the name really lived up to the person.

Just then, Ruonan spoke up, “Lili, I don’t want to either, but as far as I know, inside our Ancient Martial Arts Sect, the former Long Group leader Long Xiaotian has made a comeback, and it’s said that he’s secretly investigating the incident from half a year ago when all the elite members of Long Group were wiped out…”

Hearing Ruonan mention Long Xiaotian, Ye Haochuan felt a shiver run through him and continued to listen attentively.

“The tragedy where the elite members of Long Group were wiped out is somewhat related to me.

If I don’t find a way to protect myself, and Long Xiaotian discovers it, that would spell big trouble.

It’s said that Long Xiaotian has found a mysterious Outer Sect Disciple who is secretly investigating this matter, and it’s said this person is already at the Postnatal Mid-Stage.

If I don’t prepare early and I’m found by that Outer Sect Disciple, I’m surely headed down a dead end…”

The mysterious Outer Sect Disciple sought by Long Xiaotian and already at the Postnatal Mid-Stage?

Ye Haochuan racked his brains for a moment and felt a chill, damn, isn’t that referring to me?

Given that almost the entire force of the Long Group had been wiped out, Long Xiaotian had no one to use besides me!

With this thought, he continued to listen with patience.

“I’m currently only at the Postnatal Early Stage.

To protect myself, the only way is to obtain the Ice Soul Sword, once the beloved treasure of the Tianyu Alliance’s Chen Batian.

Only then might I have the chance to contend against that person.

And now, from the latest information I have, some members of the Tianyu Alliance suspect that Ye Haochuan is the murderer who killed Ling Xiaotian, and the Ice Soul Sword is very likely to have fallen into his hands, so…”

At this point, An Li interjected, “So, you’ve decided to strike first as a preemptive measure?”

“Exactly.”

“But what if Ye Haochuan doesn’t have the Ice Soul Sword?

Wouldn’t you be wrongly killing an innocent person?” An Li exclaimed in shock.

Hearing this, Ye Haochuan began to see her in a slightly better light.

Regardless of anything else, she still had a conscience.

“The cultivation of that kid, Ye Haochuan, I managed to get a measure of it tonight during his physiology elective class.

He’s at least at the Postnatal Mid-Stage.

It’s not unreasonable that a part of the Tianyu Alliance suspects him of killing Ling Xiaotian.

Going head-to-head with him, I don’t stand a chance, so I need your help…”

“But you want me to help by accompanying that stinking man, I don’t…” An Li shook her head repeatedly.

Ruonan tried to comfort her, “Lili, I know you don’t like those stinking men, but apart from this, I’ve got no other way.

It’s better than letting Long Xiaotian’s people find me and kill me, only for you to regret it then, right?”

An Li fell silent, but after a moment, she raised her concern again, “But what if that Ice Soul Sword is not with him?”

“Whether it’s with him or not, we must take this risk,” Ruonan said with a cold and ruthless look on her face.

Ye Haochuan felt a jolt; it was hard to imagine that a woman could be so venomous!

That’s when An Li said, “But I have no martial skills at all, how can I poison him?”

“That’s simple.” Ruonan suddenly gestured with her hand, and something resembling a ring appeared in her hand.

Using all his Eye Power, Ye Haochuan looked over to see that the ring was pitch-black, with tiny needles within, and a faint green reflection glinting on it, distinctly indicative of a powerful poison.

“This is a Life-Claiming Ring I snatched from a Postnatal Early Stage master from Hellfire.

The ring has an extremely fine needle tip, coated with Life Claiming Powder that even Postnatal Late Stage masters fear.

Once it makes contact with blood, it claims life, extremely domineering.

After you put it on, you can pierce his skin while being intimate with him, and then I’ll come out to combine forces from inside and outside…”

As Ruonan explained this, she let out a cold, sneering chuckle, “By then, after that kid loses his life in the Netherworld, his storage ring will be mine.

After I perform Blood Droplet Recognition, I’ll be able to investigate the content inside the ring.

If it has the Ice Soul Sword, that’s great, but it’s fine if it doesn’t…”

Hearing this venomous woman talk about killing him as casually as if she were taking a leak, Ye Haochuan was infuriated, thinking, damn it, you want to outwit me?

You’re not qualified!

Lucky for me I have Perspective Eyes; otherwise, I wouldn’t even know how I’d died today!

Ye Haochuan felt a sense of relief and thought to himself, damn, I definitely need to be more careful after this close call.

However, thinking about how these two women were conspiring against him, he felt a bit irked.

Alright, since you want to play with traps, then let me join in to the end today and see who’s left questioning their life!

At this time, the two women in the dormitory began to get out of bed.

However, thinking about how An Li and Ruonan were plotting against him, Ye Haochuan lost all desire.

Desire aside, a spirit of revenge was filling his mind and body!

All of a sudden, he felt mischievous and knocked on the door.

Immediately, the room erupted into chaos.

Caught off guard, Ruonan didn’t even have time to dress properly in her hurry, and escaped from the balcony in a terribly flustered state, making Ye Haochuan laugh.

As for Teacher An Li, she was also in a panic, taking a while to tidy up before coming to open the door.

Seeing Ye Haochuan at the doorway, Teacher An Li greeted him with a smile, “Oh, you came so quickly?”

Even though he knew she was acting, seeing her perform so convincingly, Ye Haochuan heh-heh’ed, “Teacher An Li.”

Life is like a play, and it’s all about the acting!

Both harboring their own thoughts, the funny thing was that Ye Haochuan saw through everything, while An Li still remained clueless, thinking that she and Ruonan had everything under control.

Once inside the house and the door was shut, Ye Haochuan, with a changed mindset, held nothing back.

Little did Teacher An Li know how eager he was!

But remembering the plan she had made with Ruonan, she could only endure it, even secretly swearing in her heart: Just you wait, after I poison you to death, I will tear you to pieces!

Little did she know that Ye Haochuan had already seen through her thoughts.

Damn, poison me to death?

In your dreams.
