章 292: Chapter 292: Traitor Disrupts the Transaction
...
"Hoo~"
After returning to his home on the Divine Sword Peak, Zeng Yi sat wearily on a wooden chair and wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead. He let out a long breath, trying to relax himself.
Today, Zeng Yi went down the mountain to take a walk and relax his mind. But the development of events far exceeded his expectations.
Being confessed to by someone on the road, inexplicably being taken as a master, finally managing to shake off that persistent young man, and just when he thought there wouldn't be any more trouble, a group of girls started chasing after him.
Zeng Yi was puzzled. He hadn't offended any female disciples in the sect. So why were those girls chasing him as if he were a despicable scoundrel?
Something's not right. Apart from today, I haven't left the mountain at all, so it's impossible for me to have offended any female disciples.
Zeng Yi confirmed with certainty that if it wasn't his fault, then it was likely someone else's.
"Sigh, blame it on being too handsome and arousing jealousy." Zeng Yi couldn't help but look up at the ceiling of the house and let out a long sigh.
It seems like I'll have to wear a mask when going out in the future. Otherwise, it might easily disturb the order of the sect.
"Master~"
Just as Zeng Yi was blaming himself for his sins, he heard his disciple's familiar voice. Her voice lingered outside the door.
Bang!
Along with a loud sound, the door was pushed open and a figure swiftly flew in, coming to a halt in front of Zeng Yi. They applied the brakes just in time.
Zeng Yi looked at the trembling door and his eyes twitched. Then he shifted his gaze to the disciple, Yan Que. She was supporting her knees with her hands, her face flushed, sweat dripping from her forehead, and her breath heavy. It was obvious that she had been running full tilt to get here.
"Meow~"
Seeing Zeng Yi, Xiao Ju immediately jumped from Yan Que's head into his arms.
Zeng Yi skillfully caught Xiao Ju and affectionately rubbed its small head. Then he looked at his restless disciple and asked "What's the matter? Why did you run here like this?"
After speaking, Zeng Yi poured a glass of water for Yan Que and handed it to her.
"Sit and tell me." Zeng Yi gestured to a chair on one side, asking her to sit and rest. He also poured himself a cup of tea.
"Thank you, Master." Yan Que said gratefully, her hands cupping the glass of water. She had been exhausted and sweaty from running up the mountain. Her throat was so dry it felt like it could breathe fire. She quickly gulped down the tea and felt much better.
However, Yan Que didn't sit down and stood in front of her master instead. Though her face was red from exhaustion, her eagerness was still evident.
"Master, there's big trouble!"
"What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" Zeng Yi asked with some confusion.
Yan Que said "Master, during this recent period, you mustn't leave the mountain."
Looking at Yan Que's serious expression, Zeng Yi pondered for a moment before asking "Why shouldn't I leave the mountain?"
From Yan Que's words, Zeng Yi could roughly guess that what she was going to talk about was related to the group of girls who were chasing after him today.
Yan Que said "There's an organization in the sect called Red Sakura, and they have mobilized nearly half of the sect's disciples to search for your trace and information, Master."
Although Yan Que herself was also a member of Red Sakura and her sisters in the organization treated her well, if she had to choose between her Master and the organization, she would not hesitate to betray the organization.
Red Sakura never expected to have a traitor among them.
Of course, what Yan Que said didn't pose any problems. Red Sakura had a high status within the sect. Although there were very few official members, it had a good reputation and prestige. Moreover, being an all-female organization in a sect where nearly seventy percent of the disciples were female, Red Sakura could easily get their way.
Furthermore, there were many loyal followers among them. If Red Sakura wanted to find information about someone in the sect, it was a piece of cake.
Today, Zeng Yi noticed many girls in the sect holding a portrait depicting his appearance and asking everyone about him on the paths and walls. This made Zeng Yi dumbfounded. If he didn't know better, he would think he had committed some heinous crime and was being hunted down by the entire sect.
Finally, when someone recognized his face, a large group of disciples rushed towards him like starving wolves.
Without understanding the situation, Zeng Yi didn't want to use force against his fellow disciples, so he had to hide and sneak back home, being cautious and alert, as if he were a thief.
After hearing Yan Que's words, Zeng Yi realized that his guess was correct. But what kind of group was Red Sakura? Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel puzzled. How could such an organization exist in the sect? They were able to mobilize so many disciples to do their bidding. Why didn't the higher-ups do something about it?
"What is Red Sakura?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but ask.
Yan Que then explained to Zeng Yi about Red Sakura. Zeng Yi came to understand the situation with this Red Sakura organization; a group established by a bunch of girls, essentially a women only army.
Moreover, from what his disciple said, this Red Sakura organization was not the kind of antagonist that used its power to oppress others. Since they were highly respected by the other disciples, they should have a positive image. But why would they do such a thing?
"By the way, how do you know so much about Red Sakura?" Zeng Yi suddenly remembered that his disciple seemed to know all about this Red Sakura organization. He found it strange and asked curiously.
"That's because I'm a member of Red Sakura." Yan Que confessed openly, without hiding anything.
"This..."
Yan Que's answer left Zeng Yi unable to help but laugh and cry. He didn't know what to say.
He hadn't expected that Red Sakura wanted to find him, but little did they know that there was a mole in his own home.
This made Zeng Yi recall a classic scene.
There's a traitor in our midst. Abort the mission!
"But then again, why are they all looking for me in Red Sakura?" Zeng Yi asked.
Yan Que looked at her master and couldn't help but recall what the president had said and the infatuated expression on her face.
Although she found it hard to believe, it seemed that the president had enlisted the help of most of the sect's disciples for such a shallow reason.
Hong Jie, the president, had a blunt personality, and she often did things that were hard to understand. Thinking about it this way, it wasn't so strange after all.
However, Yan Que still found it difficult to speak. "W-well, it seems that our president has fallen in love with you, Master, but she doesn't know who you are. So, she asked the entire Red Sakura to help find your whereabouts."
Spurt!!
Zeng Yi had just taken a sip of tea when he heard this reason from Yan Que, and the tea spurted out of his mouth.
"Cough, cough, cough~."
Zeng Yi coughed a few times, his face filled with astonishment. "Are you not joking?"
"Really!" Yan Que nodded earnestly. Although she also found it ridiculous, the situation was indeed like this.
"Is your president crazy or something?" Zeng Yi looked at Yan Que, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The President, Hong Jie, falling in love with me? I don't even know who she is. Even if it's love at first sight, we'd still need to have at least met each other. What's going on here? Am I dreaming?
Zeng Yi mentally ridiculed the situation. He found Red Sakura's president to be completely absurd!
Wait a minute, have we met before?
Zeng Yi suddenly had a flash of realization in his mind, and he couldn't help but remember the confession he received from a stranger girl on the road this morning.
Now that he thought about it, that girl was quite beautiful. She had a tall figure and luscious curves, with a deep red long hair that left a strong impression on Zeng Yi. But what impressed him the most were her eyes, which had a strong aggression.
Zeng Yi admitted that the girl was beautiful, but her personality was a bit too domineering, somewhat hard to accept.
Zeng Yi vividly remembered the confession scene.
Walking gracefully and coming straight towards him, the girl with her disheveled red hair flowing in the wind exuded a powerful aura. Zeng Yi felt a bit overwhelmed. Although she merely reached his nose in height, her incredibly aggressive gaze was fixed on him, making him feel somewhat perplexed.
It felt like being forcefully pinned against the wall by a domineering CEO. Especially after she said those words.
"Brother, I really like you, so, will you be my Boyfriend?"
With such a straightforward statement, alongside her imposing presence, Zeng Yi was dumbfounded.
Is this person insane?
Moreover, Zeng Yi sensed a strong spirit power fluctuation from her. At the very least, she possessed the strength of Spirit Ancestor realm.
Could the president of Red Sakura be that girl?
