"What do you think" Black Snow asked Xiao Yao.
"This really does have a secretive feel to it!" Xiao Yao replied, which could be considered his opinion.
"... "
Black Snow frowned slightly and said, "I'm asking what your thoughts are on this matter."
"Very surprising!" Xiao Yao answered.
"Surprised by what"
"I didn't expect your sect to be an invading foreign tribe,"
"... "
Black Snow fell silent, and Fan Gao felt the same way as Black Snow did before—like wanting to punch someone.
"Now you're also connected to the sect. We are a foreign tribe, so you must be an outsider among outsiders," Fan Gao said frankly.
"An outsider of foreigners... isn't that a return"
"... "
"Alright, don't dwell on this topic anymore. Xiao Yao, stop dodging the question and tell us your thoughts about the matter and what methods you have to reach the place mentioned above," Black Snow redirected the conversation; otherwise, they might stray from the subject.
Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I don't even know where this place is. There are no clues in the upper text on how to get there, so you should ask others for information."
Of course he wouldn’t tell anyone that it might be a martial arts holy site or reveal that he knew its location. His words were also true—he didn't know where this place was, but it could just be a possibility.
Furthermore, there really weren't any clues to reach the mentioned place—this wasn't lying either.
"Do you not have any clues at all If we find that place, it would benefit you too. At least, you won’t need to be detained," Fan Gao looked at Xiao Yao and said; this was just a hopeful attempt. He didn't think that Xiao Yao knew anything for sure.
What he meant by finding the place setting Xiao Yao free wasn't a lie either because when the time came, Xiao Yao would definitely go to that place since his sect lineage was the purest.
"There are clues, but you know why the Dark Palace was established" Xiao Yao asked in return.
"Of course we do. It’s for ensuring the continuation of our sect's heritage when unexpected circumstances arise," Fan Gao thought about it and concluded that this seemed like common knowledge. He wondered why Xiao Yao had to ask this question.
"That is one reason, but another is a group of sect ancestors who left here to go to the place mentioned above. They stored all their life’s teachings in a specific location, which was the Dark Palace. If they were prepared for such an event, there might be some clues left behind leading there, and that's something you need to find," Xiao Yao revealed another secret about why the Dark Palace was established.
This was also what he deduced after seeing the records. There had been hints of this in the past, but at that time, he didn’t know where they led.
Since he could get such clues from other places previously, it suggested that there might be similar clues elsewhere as well.
The clues should also be held by sect members since those were their ancestors, and it was up to them to uncover these secrets.
"What you mean is that besides the Dark Palace, there are clues in other places too… right. I remember now. There's a notebook in Sky Melody Valley recording our ancestors' journey to another world; at first, I thought they meant dying, but it could be referring to something else," Black Snow recalled one thing, which was a clue. Without this information, it would have been impossible to determine what the records actually meant.
There were definitely more clues like these since back then there was a large group leaving together. Even though they kept it secret from each other, their relatives and friends might know about it and leave some hints for future generations.
Some of these clues would be lost to history while others would be preserved, but whether or not they were useful remained unknown. For Xiao Yao, this was a way to divert attention to the search for clues.
While Xiao Yao believed such clues existed, he didn’t think they could lead directly to that place because if it were possible, the sect should have found that location within three thousand years—whether reaching it or just knowing about its existence. Instead of being clueless now.
Of course, this didn't mean it was impossible—it might still be possible; the time needed could perhaps not even take decades or centuries...
"You guys go ahead and investigate as soon as possible," said Free-and-Easy at this moment, giving the impression that he wanted them to hurry up and leave him alone.
Fan Gao regained his calm and authoritative demeanor at this point. "We will definitely look into it, but there's no need for haste. As has been mentioned, even if a path is found, only those of Emperor rank or above can go. Our sect is full of experts, but there are only dozens who are of Emperor level or higher, each holding important positions. This matter requires some time to deliberate."
That's right, even if they could go immediately, this issue needs discussion. A meeting with the entire demonic sect would have to be held for people to decide whether to go, when to go, and who should go.
From that journal, it was clear that an Emperor-level person there could only ensure self-preservation. This indicates the danger of such a place. Whether or not to take the risk to investigate the origin of our demonic sect is worth considering.
"If that's the case, then you guys discuss it and don't waste time here," Free-and-Easy said again. "I won't disturb you; I still have to find my parents."
"You can’t just leave like this. Now you're under my control, and I can’t let such an unpredictable factor go," Fan Gao extinguished Free-and-Easy's thoughts.
"I suddenly remember something: if my parents come looking for me, do you think you could withstand their wrath" said Free-and-Easy with a smile.
Free-and-Easy’s parents might be legendary experts. This is speculation and possibility; even Free-and-Easy only thinks this way, as does Fan Gao and others.
However, even such a possibility alone can make Fan Gao's face change dramatically because he considers the terrible implications of it. If that were true, Free-and-Easy would be a hot potato.
If he releases Free-and-Easy now, his efforts might be wasted. But if Free-and-Easy does indeed have such parents, in the future, not only will his efforts be wasted, but he may also lose even more.
Free-and-Easy’s lineage註定destines his parents to be extraordinary people on this continent: either hidden branches of the demonic sect with legendary experts or those with strong backing. Regardless of which one it is, it would make Fan Gao headache and having the power of the demonic sect wouldn’t help because that won't work.
Free-and-Easy註定destines to have ties with the demonic sect; others in the sect will treat him with respect, even venerate him as a new leader. Such circumstances would never make Fan Gao step forward, and this matter is also due to Fan Gao's mistake.
"Actually, you don't need to be troubled. As long as you pretend that nothing happened, I will do the same," Free-and-Easy said, giving Fan Gao a direction for choice. "I don’t hate the demonic sect, but I'm not fond of it either."
...
Fan Gao was silent, considering this possibility. If Free-and-Easy truly doesn't mention this matter and only controls Black Snow, there wouldn't be any problems.
However, Fan Gao didn't know Free-and-Easy well enough; he didn’t believe that Free-and-Easy would give up such a good position, which everyone desires, including himself. What he did wasn't for this position
"Are you afraid I'll change my mind I can't guarantee your belief, but I can say: even if you offer me the position of sect leader, I won’t agree," Free-and-Easy seemed to see Fan Gao's doubts and restated his stance.
...
Is it really like that Fan Gao doubted this. This is something everyone would doubt unless those who truly understand Free-and-Easy know he wouldn't be interested in such a position.
"If you don’t believe me, then do whatever you want," said Free-and-Easy nonchalantly. He was just trying to persuade the other party; this way could save much trouble. If it didn't work, that would be fine too, and he could think of another solution.
Fan Gao now wavered left and right. He had always been decisive throughout his life, never imagining one day he'd act like this or be stumped by such a problem.
This was something he never expected to happen; precisely because it hadn't occurred to him before, it made the decision so difficult now.
"Fan Gao, I think you can believe what he said. If he yearned for power and status, he wouldn’t have remained a lowly servant all along," Black Snow gave an objective evaluation. She had investigated Free-and-Easy’s background; some details showed that he could leave his position long ago but chose not to.
Moreover, the family of his master was just a very ordinary small clan with no place worth looking at except for their ability in crafting equipment. Even this crafting skill wasn't impressive enough.
If Free-and-Easy had a purpose in being a servant, he would have chosen a bigger clan instead. His abilities could fit any clan perfectly.
As a servant, Free-and-Easy was the top one, with almost no one surpassing him.
"Perhaps he just hides his true nature very well," Fan Gao still had some doubts.
"In that case, I can’t convince you either. It’s up to your decision," Black Snow gave up straightforwardly; there was nothing more to say at this point.
Everything depends on Fan Gao's own choice, which only determines his destiny and not Free-and-Easy’s.
No matter how Fan Gao decides, Free-and-Easy has already thought of ways to deal with it. He just doesn’t want to choose a method that would cause himself trouble; sometimes waiting is the best solution. things that others do not.For this reason, Daoist Immortal wouldn't let any opportunities slip away. He would come here almost every day to read books and, in the meantime, borrow unimportant ones!"X...
