Chapter 55: Conspiracy
At the moment of life and death, when Li Yun was still calculating and was thinking of some plan to escape with his group, he unconsciously saw a shadow climbing on a tree.
He immediately understood that somebody came here after hearing the sound of the battle and suddenly thought of an idea.
"This brother there, can you please help us." Li Yun asked for help from Ye Xiao in a loud voice.
Ye Xiao was surprised to see that he was discovered by a good looking young man who was covered with blood and suffering from heavy injuries.
Seeing that Li Yun was asking for help, Ye Xiao first looked at the pair of Golden Giant Ape and then moved his gaze to look at the five teenagers who was in a desperate situation.
After thinking for some time, he finally made his decision to not help. He thought that he will wait here. If the group managed to survive and hunt down the pair of Golden Giant Ape, he will take his leave without bothering with them. And if the Golden Giant Ape managed to survive, he will attack them and hunt down this pair of the Golden Giant Apes. This way, he can easily gather two more second rank beast core.
When Li Yun saw that Ye Xiao didn"t answer him and was only looking at them, he immediately guessed what Ye Xiao was thinking.
Seeing this he smiled bitterly and said, "This brother, if you can help us out here, we will only take a single beast core after killing this pair of apes and the other beast core will be yours. How about it"
He tried to give Ye Xiao some profit. If he and his group can make out alive from this situation, he can still hunt down more of these second rank magical beast but if he died here, everything including his life time"s hard work will come to nought.
When Ye Xiao heard Li Yun, this time his heart stir up a little. He thought that if what Li Yun said was truth then he can gain a big this time. He can earn a second rank beast core as well save the group.
When he and the group of teenagers will fight together, they can easily kill both of the Golden Giant Ape and save a lots of time. This way he can search for more rank two magical beasts and kill them for their beast cores.
Thinking about this, he accepted Li Yun"s offer and said, "Ok, I will help you guys but you have to stick on your promise."
"Certainly."
Li Yun said, "We don"t even have enough strength to contend against these two Golden Giant Apes. How can we will back out from our promise after finishing our fight with them. At that time we already would have worn out of any strength to continue fight. You can kill us at that time with ease. I think it should be us worrying about ourselves. If you think of making a move on us at that time then...."
"Stop it. If that was the case, why will I even help you get out of your situation right now. You all are going to die anyway. Didn"t at that time, all the beast cores that you all gathered will be mine." Ye Xiao immediately cut down Li Yun in the middle of his speech and retorted him.
"Ah! yes, that"s true." Li Yun said while nodding his head stupidly.
Ye Xiao shook his head in annoyance after seeing the stupid behaviour of Li Yun. Then he thought of something and asked, "What is your name?"
"Li Yu and yours?"
"Ye Xiao"
"Ye Xiao?" Li Yun frowned a little as he found this name somewhat familiar but failed to remember anything.
Ye Xiao jumped down from the big tree and walked toward the group with a steady pace. When he saw that Li Yun was frowning his brows, he could not help but ask again, "What are you thinking about."
Li Yun was came back to his sense after hearing Ye Xiao and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking that your name is familiar but I could not remember anything."
"Oh! so that"s what you were thinking about. Maybe you would"ve heard of me. I am Ye Xiao, a former outer court disciple of the Silver Moon Sect."
"A former outer court disciple of the Silver Moon Sect?" Li Yun again frowned and suddenly as if he remembered something, he looked at Ye Xiao with a wide opened eyes.
"You..You are the one adopted by the Fifth Elder of the Silver Moon Sect?"
"Eh!"
"So you really do know about me. Yes, I am the one." Ye Xiao nodded his head and answered.
"Didn"t you die after falling down from the cliff in the Black Cloud Forest." Li Yun again asked. It was as if he can not get out from his surprised mode.
"This...how did you know about this?" Ye Xiao stopped in his track and asked.
This matter was something related to him and the Zhou Yan of the Silver Moon Sect. How can an outsider like Li Yun knows about this matter. He suddenly realized that there was a big conspiracy here. There definitely was.
When he was framed and kicked out from the Silver Moon Sect, he only thought that maybe, after the death of the Fifth Elder Ye Fan, Elders, Grand Elder and the Sect Leader of the Silver Moon Sect thought of him as a burden and wanted to get rid of him. And anyway, there was also some enmity between the Grand Elder and the Fifth Elder Ye Fan, so this was natural for them to frame him and kick him out from the sect.
But now, he suddenly realized that he was wrong all along. From the very start, there was some secret that he didn"t know about.
"Roar!"
He was still thinking about the previous matters when a beast roar snapped him out from his thought.
