Creating a Chance Encounter

In the dead of night.

Yan Yun furtively arrived at the main gate of the Purple Abyss Pavilion and opened it.

Once the door was ajar, a white-robed Jiang Yao peeked out, looking around with an air of absolute secrecy.

“What took you so long? Don’t you know our relationship can’t see the light of day yet?” Jiang Yao shot a glare at Yan Yun.

Yan Yun chuckled and immediately reached out to pull Jiang Yao inside.

“I can’t help it. My identity is sensitive right now, so it’s not convenient for me to run around. I could only ask you to come to the Purple Abyss Pavilion. Come on, let’s go to my place.”

Jiang Yao looked around.

“Are you sure no one else in your Purple Abyss Pavilion will notice?”

On this point, Yan Yun was very confident.

“Don’t worry, the entire Purple Abyss Pavilion is currently under my control. Even a Divine Venerable Realm expert wouldn’t be able to see inside through the formations. I’ve already blocked their perception; they won’t sense anything.”

With this assurance, Jiang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two arrived at Yan Yun’s residence.

Yan Yun was currently living in the pavilion meant for the master of the Purple Abyss Pavilion.

It was exquisitely furnished, spacious, and well-equipped with all facilities.

“As expected of the Pavilion Master’s residence. It’s even grander than my own,” Jiang Yao remarked.

Yan Yun smiled smugly.

“Of course. I am currently acting with the authority of the Pavilion Master. Until an official Pavilion Master is born, I am the Pavilion Master.”

Jiang Yao looked around and complained, “We need to find a time to deepen our public relationship soon. This constant sneaking around is really annoying. It always feels like we’re having an affair.”

Yan Yun walked up behind Jiang Yao and wrapped her arms around her, resting her head on her shoulder and speaking softly, “The reason I called you over this time is because I have something very important to discuss with you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yao immediately turned her head, her face grave as she looked at Yan Yun.

“What kind of trouble are you planning to stir up now?”

Yan Yun then told her about Lin Mo and his group coming to her.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao’s expression changed slightly.

She looked into Yan Yun’s eyes and saw them filled with a conspiratorial air, allowing her to roughly guess what Yan Yun was planning.

“You’re not thinking of tampering with them while they’re cultivating, are you? That won’t work! It would be far too obvious.”

Yan Yun rolled her eyes.

“Do I look like that kind of a brainless person to you?”

Jiang Yao chuckled.

“That’s hard to say. But what are you planning to do? Let me say this first: if it involves taking risks, I won’t agree, and neither will Mother,” Jiang Yao stated her condition upfront.

Yan Yun briefly explained her plan.

First, there was no possibility of reconciliation between her and the Lin family; one side was destined to perish.

She planned to help these Lin family members master the poison art.

That way, if a conflict arose in the future, she could easily eliminate them.

In short, she wished for nothing more than for everyone in the Lin family to cultivate the poison art.

After hearing Yan Yun’s plan, Jiang Yao immediately pointed out a problem.

“Have you thought about what the consequences will be if your true purpose for spreading the poison art becomes known?”

Yan Yun heaved a long sigh.

“I am naturally aware. No one would hand over complete control of themselves to another. But don’t you worry. I am only targeting my enemies. Those who are not my enemies will never know that there is a problem with the poison art they are cultivating.”

Seeing the determined look in Yan Yun’s eyes, Jiang Yao knew she couldn’t dissuade her.

So, she slowly rose and walked to the window, gazing out at the sky.

“How I wish we could live a peaceful and stable life.”

Hearing these words, Yan Yun felt a pang of guilt.

“I wish for that too. But some people just don’t want us to live comfortably. In this world, before you become powerful, many things are just extravagant hopes. But, my wife, don’t you worry. In the future, we will definitely live the life of a divine couple,” Yan Yun promised.

Jiang Yao sighed heavily.

“I hope so. But you must still prioritize your own safety. We are still too weak at the moment. I’m suddenly nostalgic for our days back home. Even though we had to work, at least we didn’t have to worry about all this scheming and plotting.”

Hearing her say this, Yan Yun felt a little scared.

“Yes, but… hehe, I haven’t seen you for a while, and I feel like you’ve matured quite a bit, wife. You’re starting to become the way I like you,” Yan Yun said, and then, without any warning, she bit Jiang Yao’s earlobe.

Jiang Yao’s whole body trembled, and her face flushed red.

“You’re at it again. Did you call me here just to have me attend to your bed?” Jiang Yao grumbled.

Yan Yun immediately activated the formation in her residence and then scooped Jiang Yao into her arms.

“Since you’re here, I can’t just let you go back like that. I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t had any time to connect with you. How about a chance encounter?” Yan Yun suggested.

Jiang Yao did not resist, allowing Yan Yun to lift her up.

“A chance encounter? You… I do have an idea for that. You definitely can’t just let the Lin family capture you. The moment you step out of the Purple Abyss Pavilion, they’ll surely come looking for trouble. Then I’ll appear, a hero saving the damsel in distress. How about it?” Jiang Yao said with a straight face.

Seeing Jiang Yao’s deadpan expression, Yan Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

“Alright, alright, we’ll do it your way. But tonight, you’re mine,” Yan Yun gently placed Jiang Yao on the bed, a smile on her face as she lowered her head and softly kissed her delicate lips.

The two of them exchanged affections while plotting their “chance encounter” for the next day.

If they wanted to meet openly without arousing suspicion, they needed a more plausible scenario.

And so, the night passed.

Around four or five in the morning, Jiang Yao left the Purple Abyss Pavilion early.

As the sky gradually brightened, around eight or nine in the morning, Yan Yun found a reason to leave the Purple Abyss Pavilion with Wen Meng and the others.

Since becoming official disciples, they hadn’t had a proper look around the various parts of the Yunhua Sect.

The Yunhua Sect, aside from its several factions, had several other places for disciples to train, such as the Yunhua Mystic Realm, the Heaven-Piercing Pagoda, and the Dao Discussion Pavilion.

These places could all help cultivators improve their practical combat skills.

However, the Yunhua Mystic Realm was only open to inner sect disciples, the Heaven-Piercing Pagoda had no restrictions, and anyone could go to the Dao Discussion Pavilion.

And just as Yan Yun had expected, the moment they left the Purple Abyss Pavilion, someone immediately informed the Lin family.

Having just been thwarted by Yan Yun yesterday, they certainly wouldn’t miss an opportunity to get their own back.

The disciples of the Purple Abyss Pavilion, with their white hair and purple eyes, were very conspicuous on the road.

“Look, aren’t those the disciples from the Purple Abyss Pavilion? They really have a unique style.”

“Yeah, white hair and purple eyes, so cool! But I heard that cultivating this poison art requires great willpower. I don’t have that kind of tenacity, so I’ll just dream about it.”

The group from the Purple Abyss Pavilion first came to the Dao Discussion Pavilion.

The Dao Discussion Pavilion was definitely the liveliest place in the Yunhua Sect.

Before even entering, they could hear the boisterous noise from within.

The Dao Discussion Pavilion was a large, three-story building.

Upon entering, they found a spacious area with several sparring arenas in the center, where several disciples were currently sparring.

Many people were standing around, spectating, and some had even set up gambling tables on the side.

The arrival of the group from the Purple Abyss Pavilion immediately attracted the attention of many.

“Yo, it’s the people from the Purple Abyss Pavilion. You’ve come to the Dao Discussion Pavilion too? What, want to go up and have some fun?” some disciples said to Yan Yun and the others.

They didn’t really understand the strength of the poison art yet.

It would be great if they could have a public sparring match.

But Yan Yun shook her head.

“Our poison art, once it latches on, means either death or disability. It’s better not to compete.”

However, the moment her words fell, a sarcastic voice rang out.

“Is that so? I think you’re just scared, aren’t you?”

This voice was very familiar to Yan Yun, so she looked to the side.

And there she saw the arrogant female disciple from the Lin family from yesterday, walking over with several other Lin family disciples.

This woman was named Lin Zi, and she was Lin Mo’s paternal cousin.

“Little Sister Ziyun, they’re here with ill intentions. You just offended them yesterday, and now they’ve come looking for you,” Wen Meng whispered.

Yan Yun shook her head at them, signaling them to be at ease.

Her high-profile outing this time was precisely to lure the Lin family into making trouble.

And the Lin family was truly cooperative.
