What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 19

Hou Wang and Hou Zhen weren’t much of a concern. But if they were to die, Hou Bujian, their cousin, likely wouldn’t take it lightly.

Li Long reminded Wei Aoshu that he would inform Hou Bujian about the deaths of the Hou brothers. If Hou Bujian were to inquire with Wei Aoshu, she must tell the truth and not fabricate any details to avoid trouble.

Wei Aoshu had heard of Hou Bujian’s name before. He was the direct disciple of Elder Lei of Azure Cloud Sect, rumored to be extremely powerful, possibly even at the Nascent Soul stage.

But there is no way to know whether it is true or false.

Currently, he ranks third among the inner disciples of Azure Cloud Sect.

Wei Aoshu knew she wasn’t his match, but she also didn’t want to lose Ye Yu, who was a fellow undercover agent, because of this matter.

So Wei Aoshu didn’t rest that night.

With great sincerity, she visited an elder and spent the entire night persuading her to accept Ye Yu as her disciple.

The crucial point was that this elder was the senior sister of Azure Cloud Sect’s sect master, renowned for her beauty and formidable strength, holding considerable authority.

If Ye Yu could become her disciple, even if Hou Bujian discovered the connection between Ye Yu, Hou Zhen, and Hou Wang’s deaths, he might hesitate to act recklessly due to the elder’s presence.

After listening to Wei Aoshu’s story, Ye Yu couldn’t help but feel moved.

He hadn’t expected Wei Aoshu, whom he had just met by chance, to go to such lengths to help him, planning his way out so meticulously.

“Thank you, senior sister,” Ye Yu said gratefully.

Wei Aoshu shook her head, saying, “Forget thanks. Just be honest and straightforward. That’s stronger than anything else!”

Ye Yu looked embarrassed.

Under Wei Aoshu’s guidance, Ye Yu entered the inner sect of Azure Cloud Sect for the first time.

The environment here was completely different from the outer sect. Surrounded by mountains and rich spiritual energy, occasional roars of spiritual beasts echoed in the air.

In the sky, many cultivators flew freely, painting a scene that fulfilled every mortal’s fantasy of what a sect of cultivators should be like—truly a world of immortal heroes.

Wei Aoshu pointed her sword forward.

Beneath her feet, the flying sword accelerated once again, swiftly arriving atop a mountain peak.

“When you meet the elder later, be sure to show respect,” As they landed, Wei Aoshu still did not forget to give the final reminder.

Ye Yu nodded vigorously to express his understanding.

Seeing this, Wei Aoshu adjusted her attire and clasped her hands together. “Disciple Wei Aoshu, accompanied by disciple Ye Yu, seeks an audience with Elder Hongluan.”

After speaking, Wei Aoshu bowed slightly and patiently awaited a response.

However, minutes passed without any sign of acknowledgment, leaving both of them puzzled.

Yet, they caught a strong scent of alcohol in the air.

They turned their heads and saw, not far away under two trees, a hammock hung.

A maiden dressed in white lay sprawled on it, sound asleep, clutching a gourd from which alcohol continuously spilled onto the ground.

Despite this, the gourd showed no signs of drying up, a clear indication of its spatial properties.

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow. The woman before him was indeed beautiful—her skin as fair as snow, exuding an air of elegance that surpassed even Zhu Diezhen and Li Ruowang. However, her sleeping posture was rather uninhibited.

Wei Aoshu’s face turned somewhat awkward. She hurried forward, attempting to awaken the maiden in the hammock.

“Elder Hongluan? Elder Hongluan?” she called out, increasing her volume.

Finally, the woman named Hongluan stirred from her slumber, her eyes still half-closed as she gazed at Wei Aoshu. “Ah, it’s little Wei. What brings you here?”

Upon hearing this, Wei Aoshu’s smile froze momentarily. She replied in a low voice, “Elder, didn’t we discuss this yesterday? I’ve brought a disciple to you.”

Hongluan rubbed her head, taking a moment to fully wake up.

She then looked towards Ye Yu not far away. “Is it him? Alright, I’ll take this disciple under my wing. Little Wei, you can leave now. I’ll have a private chat with him.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Aoshu’s smile returned. She nodded at Ye Yu before bowing and departing from the scene.

Once Wei Aoshu left, Ye Yu suddenly felt nervous.

The reason being that Elder Hongluan was now sitting there, her eyes fixed straight on him.

What did this mean?

Could she have noticed the Ten Thousand Souls Technique on him?

If that were true, how would he explain it?

For a moment, Ye Yu started to sweat.

Although Hongluan seemed unreliable, like someone drunk on alcohol, Azure Cloud Sect was still one of the Five Sacred Lands. Those who could hold the position of an elder here typically had cultivation levels of Nascent Soul stage or above.

If Hongluan truly discovered the demonic techniques on him, Ye Yu would have no chance of survival under her.

Currently, the only thing he could do was pray that Hongluan hadn’t noticed anything suspicious.

However, the next moment seemed to answer his prayers.

Hongluan suddenly laid back down and started lightly snoring, apparently having felt drowsy.

It turned out she had just been feeling sleepy, which was why she had been staring at one spot.

Ye Yu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Shortly after, as he turned around, he suddenly saw a young woman with white hair standing nearby.

Ye Yu was taken aback.

“Who… who are you?”

“I’m your second senior sister, Xie Muling.”

As she spoke, the white-haired young woman skillfully lifted Hongluan and began walking to the side.

Ye Yu was puzzled but followed along.

“Senior sister, hello, I’m Ye Yu. Please take care of me in the future!”

Ye Yu greeted earnestly, receiving only a slight nod in return.

However, Ye Yu wasn’t offended and proceeded to ask Xie Muling about the situation here.

Fortunately, Xie Muling seemed cold on the surface but was actually easy to get along with. She provided detailed explanations to Ye Yu’s questions.

It was through this conversation that Ye Yu learned this place was the Wuzhi Peak of Azure Cloud Sect, and Elder Hongluan was its master.

Including Ye Yu, there were only three disciples here in total.

The eldest disciple, senior sister Tuoba Qiyue is currently in seclusion.

Second senior sister is Xie Muling.

The third junior brother is Ye Yu.

Compared to other mountain peaks, the disciples of Wuzhi Peak were the fewest.

The reason was simple.

Hongluan found disciples too troublesome.

So, in the past two hundred years, she hadn’t taken in any disciples.

The reason she accepted Ye Yu was also simple.

Because she lost in a gambling game with Wei Aoshu yesterday and had no spirit stones to give, she had no choice but to reluctantly accept Ye Yu.

After hearing the true story behind this, Ye Yu had a new understanding of this thrifty master.

Fond of alcohol and gambling.

Isn’t she basically a whimsical version of Tsunade from Naruto?

Well, that comparison might not be entirely accurate.

After all, Ye Yu had not carefully observed that pair of famous weapons.

He couldn’t make a precise judgment.

He could only wait to study them carefully in the future.
