Chapter 482 Liu Yan'er's Alertness
Liu Yan'er was aware that her plan was meticulous and she took every step carefully. She personally sealed the letters sent to and from the evil forces with special spells and hid them in secret corners that only she knew about. When delivering messages, she used disguised carrier pigeons to ensure that nothing could go wrong. In the sect, she looked at the disciples who were kept in the dark by her, and she was full of pride, and she acted more and more arrogantly.
In the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone on the martial arts training ground of the sect, and the disciples came to do morning exercises. Liu Yan'er walked in with a proud step as usual, and swept her eyes over the crowd with contempt. When she saw that Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not show up as usual, she frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt surged in her heart. In the past, at this time, Yun Yao always practiced hard, and made great progress in swordsmanship and magic, which attracted many disciples to look at him; Chu Mochen was a swordsmanship genius, and his training ground was often surrounded by sword energy, attracting a group of disciples to watch and learn. But today, the two were nowhere to be seen, and this abnormality made Liu Yan'er feel uneasy.
She calmly walked towards several disciples who had some interactions with Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, squeezed out a seemingly kind smile on her face, and asked softly: "Junior brothers and sisters, why don't you see Senior Sister Yun Yao and Senior Brother Chu Mochen today? Do they have any special training arrangements?" The disciples looked at each other, and one of the slightly timid little sisters whispered: "We don't know too much, Senior Sister Liu, we didn't see them this morning." Liu Yan'er snorted in her heart, but still smiled and nodded on the surface, turned around and left, but secretly guessed in her heart: What are these two people doing? Did they discover something?
In the afternoon, the sun was blazing, but the sect's library was quiet and cool, with many disciples studying classics. Liu Yan'er also pretended to come to check the information and stepped into the library. She flipped through the ancient books in her hand carelessly, while keeping an eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Yun Yao's figure flashing by and disappeared into a secluded corridor deep in the library. Liu Yan'er was startled, and hurriedly put down the book in her hand and followed quietly. She walked lightly and cast a small spell to hide her breath, for fear that Yun Yao would notice.
As she got closer, she could faintly hear Yun Yao and Chu Mochen talking in low voices. Liu Yan'er's heartbeat quickened. She approached cautiously, hid behind a bookshelf, and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop. Yun Yao said solemnly, "I found some letter fragments in the corner of this library today. Although the handwriting is blurry, the analysis of the system shows that it seems to be related to Liu Yan'er and external forces. If this is true, the sect is in danger." Chu Mochen's voice was low and firm, "We must not let her succeed. We must find solid evidence as soon as possible. Before that, we must not alert the enemy."
Liu Yan'er was shocked when she heard these words. She clenched her hands unconsciously, and her nails dug into her palms without her noticing. She never thought that her secret plan would be exposed. In an instant, panic, fear, anger and other emotions surged in her heart, but she was a scheming woman after all, so she quickly suppressed these emotions and calmed herself down. She knew very well that if she was exposed at this moment, all her efforts would be wasted.
In order to confuse the audience, Liu Yan'er quickly adjusted her state, pretending to be calm and walked out from behind the bookshelf, deliberately raising her voice and saying, "Hey, isn't this Yun Yao and Chu Mochen? Hiding in this remote corner, is there some secret that cannot be told?" As she spoke, she also looked at Yun Yao provocatively, her eyes full of ridicule. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were startled, not expecting Liu Yan'er to suddenly appear, but they reacted very quickly, quickly putting away the solemnity on their faces and replacing them with an indifferent expression.
Yun Yao raised the corner of her mouth to sneer, and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Senior Sister Liu, you are joking. I was just discussing some difficulties in cultivation with Senior Brother Chu. This library is secluded, which is convenient for quiet study. But Senior Sister, you followed behind stealthily, are you trying to eavesdrop on something?" Liu Yan'er's face changed slightly, then returned to normal, and she snorted coldly: "I don't have the time. I just found your whereabouts suspicious, so I came to check on you out of kindness." After that, she shook her sleeves, turned around and left in a pretentious manner, her high heels making a crisp sound on the stone slabs, echoing in the library.
However, as soon as she walked out of the library, Liu Yan'er's face suddenly darkened, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. She knew that since Yun Yao and Chu Mochen had already noticed something, they would definitely not let it go, and the days ahead would be filled with dangers. She walked quickly back to her residence, while quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind. Back in the room, she slammed the door shut, leaned against the door, panting heavily, her eyes full of sinisterness.
"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to think of a way to stabilize them first." Liu Yan'er muttered to herself. She paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she thought of an idea. She decided to start with those disciples who had conflicts with Yun Yao and Chu Mochen on weekdays, and win them over to her own use. On the one hand, she could monitor Yun Yao's every move, and on the other hand, if the matter was exposed, she could have more scapegoats.
Liu Yan'er did what she thought. After a little preparation, she went out to find those disciples. She first found a female disciple who was dissatisfied with Yun Yao because she was jealous of her cultivation speed. She gave her a precious magic weapon and said earnestly, "Junior sister, look at Yun Yao's arrogant appearance. She usually doesn't take us seriously. Now she is getting close to Chu Mochen. Maybe she is planning something that is not good for the sect. We can't just sit there and do nothing. If you help me keep an eye on their movements, you will naturally get benefits in the future." The female disciple was already resentful. Seeing that there was benefit to be gained, and being provoked by Liu Yan'er, she nodded and agreed.
Then, Liu Yan'er found several similar disciples and successfully won them over with the same method. Looking at these pawns that she had bought, Liu Yan'er felt a little relieved, but the uneasiness in her heart always followed her like a shadow. She knew that Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were not ordinary people, and the next few days would definitely be a thrilling contest.
At night, under the stars, Liu Yan'er lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She looked out the window at the night sky, her mind racing. The past collusion with evil forces kept coming to her mind. She knew that she had embarked on a road of no return. If she failed, not only would her life be in danger, but her family would also be implicated. But when she thought of the wealth and glory after success, and the supreme power to control the sect and even the world of cultivation, she gritted her teeth and strengthened her determination to continue.
"Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, you want to destroy my plan, but it's not that easy. Let's wait and see." Liu Yan'er whispered in the darkness, with determination and madness in her eyes. The night wind blew outside the window, and the leaves rustled, as if they were also trembling for the coming storm.
In the following days, Liu Yan'er acted more and more arrogant in front of everyone, and her sarcasm towards Yun Yao became even worse. Every time she saw Yun Yao, she would deliberately find fault with her and speak harshly: "Hey, Yun Yao, have you made any new progress in your cultivation these days? Are you being lazy? I see you are being mysterious all day long, don't you have any bad intentions?" Yun Yao just smiled indifferently and ignored it, but she became more alert in her heart.
In secret, Liu Yan'er closely monitored Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's every move through the disciples she bribed. She anxiously waited for the reports from those disciples every day, and her heartbeat accelerated when she saw something unusual. However, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were extremely cautious. Every time they went out or discussed things, they would cleverly avoid being seen, leaving Liu Yan'er with nothing. This made her more anxious and her temper became more and more irritable, and she often got angry at the maids around her for no reason.
On this day, Liu Yan'er was sitting in her room, anxiously waiting for news. Suddenly, a bribed disciple came running in and said in a panic: "Senior Sister Liu, it's bad, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen left the sect early this morning and disappeared, and our people can't catch up at all." Upon hearing this, Liu Yan'er stood up abruptly, her face pale, and grabbed the disciple's collar with trembling hands: "What? You bunch of trash, how can you not even keep an eye on one person!" The disciple was trembling with fear and hurriedly explained: "Senior Sister, calm down, the two of them seemed to have been prepared and cast a spell to hide their whereabouts. We really..." Liu Yan'er angrily pushed the disciple away and paced back and forth in the room, feeling very flustered.
"Where did they go? Have they found any key evidence?" Liu Yan'er muttered to herself, her eyes full of fear. She knew that she didn't have much time left. If she couldn't come up with a plan as soon as possible, once Yun Yao and Chu Mochen returned with solid evidence, she would be dead without a burial place. At this moment, Liu Yan'er was like an ant on a hot pot, in extreme anxiety and panic, and this life-and-death contest with Yun Yao and Chu Mochen was about to enter a white-hot stage.
