Martial Peak

d Dong Xuan’er patiently answered any questions Dai Yuan and Yang Kai asked, not concealing anything.

Half a day later, the two Senior Brother and Junior Sister took their leave.
Before setting off though, Dong Xuan’er invited Dai Yuan to come to Shadow Moon Hall for a time, the latter naturally agreeing.

After the Shadow Moon Hall pair left, Yang Kai turned to Dai Yuan with a smile.

The latter, however, shot him an angry glare as her ugly facial features suddenly distorted.
In the next moment, a completely different face appeared in front of Yang Kai.

Creamy white skin with gentle crescent eyebrows, eyes that shimmered like stars, a dainty nose, and fine red lips.
It was not an exaggeration to describe her as a Heavenly beauty.

This abrupt change in appearance stunned Yang Kai.
Dai Yuan gently brushed her hair back behind her ear and demurely chuckled, “Does Junior Brother Yang think this look is more appealing?”

Yang Kai put on a serious look and shook his head, saying, “One’s external appearance is inconsequential, whether one is ugly or beautiful is an inherent trait that is gifted by their parents.
What is most important is internal and intrinsic.”

Dai Yuan was deeply stunned and was preparing to nod in agreement when Yang Kai suddenly declared solemnly, “But you’re not wrong that your current look is more appealing; after all, everyone loves beauty.”

Dai Yuan was instantly filled with indignation as she shot a wicked glare at Yang Kai, her peerless face distorting once again and being replaced by the former pockmarked ugly continence.

Just now, she had felt deeply touched by Yang Kai’s words, but he had gone and ruined that sentiment completely before she could even digest them properly.

Yang Kai lightly coughed, knowing he had severely annoyed Dai Yuan and quickly changed the subject, “Right, Sister Dai Yuan coming here so suddenly, do you need my help with something?”

“What? Do you think I only come here when I need something from you? Could it be that I cannot just come here to say hello? Am I not welcomed here?” Dai Yuan snorted as she continued glaring at Yang Kai.

“That’s certainly not what I meant,” Yang Kai knew he had once again misspoken and suddenly found himself at a loss for what to say.

However, Dai Yuan soon grinned and said, “I’m kidding.
Do you think you are the only one who can make fun of me? To be honest, I really did come here to ask for your help.”

Yang Kai’s look finally relaxed and he quickly declared, “If I can be of help, Sister Dai Yuan only needs to ask.”

Dai Yuan nodded and spoke frankly, “I need an Origin Condensing Pill!”

Hearing this, Yang Kai showed a look of understanding.

Dai Yuan still explained though, “Originally I was planning on breaking through to the Origin Returning Realm after a long secluded retreat, but now that the Emperor Garden has appeared, I cannot afford to wait that long, so I need an Origin Condensing Pill to assist me.
This shouldn’t be a problem for Junior Brother Yang, should it?”

“Naturally,” Yang Kai smiled confidently.
Him being an Alchemist was a secret only known to three people on Shadowed Star, Wu Yi, Yang Yan, and Dai Yuan.
The first two knew for obvious reasons while the latter knew because Yang Kai had used his Alchemy skills to help detoxify her.

With Yang Kai’s current methods, refining a trivial Origin Condensing Pill required little effort.

Dai Yuan wore a delighted smile and said, “I have all the materials ready.
I’ll be troubling Junior Brother Yang.”

Saying so, Dai Yuan took out several sets of herbs necessary for refining an Origin Condensing Pill from her Space Ring.
Yang Kai nodded and accepted the herbs before quickly saying, “Rest here for today, I’ll bring you your Origin Condensing Pill by tomorrow.”

“En,” Dai Yuan nodded happily.

Refining an Origin Condensing Pill was truly a simple matter for Yang Kai, only requiring an incense stick worth of time to complete, but he still said he would bring it to Dai Yuan tomorrow personally.

Dai Yuan had no objections and gave her thanks.

Chatting for a while longer, Dai Yuan informed Yang Kai that there were many people stationed in Heavenly Fate City from Coloured Glass Sect to monitor the changes in the Emperor Garden, and that her Junior Sister Yin Su Die was among them.

Yin Su Die, like Wei Gu Chang, had successfully broken through to the Origin Realm, but she had only done so recently and was still in the process of consolidating her cultivation.
It also seemed that she had ill intentions towards Yang Kai, which Dai Yuan thoughtfully warned him about.

Hearing this, Yang Kai wore a strange look upon his face as he tapped the table with his finger, immediately concluding that Yin Su Die had concealed the matter about their fight and even him killing a Coloured Glass Sect disciple when he last left Coloured Glass Sect.

This was good news for Yang Kai.
Yin Su Die willingly covering up that incident was something he was happy to learn.

Then, however, Dai Yuan seemingly casually mentioned the accident that had befallen Thousand Illusion Coloured Glass Mountain, causing a bit of cold sweat to drip down Yang Kai’s back as he faced a meaningful stare from this woman.

Fortunately, she did not seem to have any interest in continuing this topic, just mentioning it before moving on.

After finally managing to take his leave, Yang Kai stood in front of his cave mansion with a contemplative look upon his face.

Yang Yan mysteriously appeared beside him a moment later, frowning as she said, “From her tone, it seems she knows something.”

“En, others might not be clear, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know; after all, the Stone Puppet entered Coloured Glass Mountain from her Thousand Illusion Peak.
Although I concealed the tunnel it dug, she might have discovered something if she investigated carefully.
Moreover, since she cultivates that Thousand Illusion Coloured Glass Art, she may have been able to learn something from examining Coloured Glass Mountain itself,” Yang Kai postulated.

Although he did not know what the truth was, he was fairly certain about his speculations.
The reason why Dai Yuan knew there was something wrong inside Coloured Glass Mountain was largely in part due to her practising that particular Secret Art.
