Chapter 2530: Chapter 2531: The Uniqueness of Princess Xiu

Thinking of this, Ye Luo felt relieved.

"Then we shall stay. I really want to see just how formidable this Kunshan Tribe is!"

The Ice Princess immediately raised her head, gazing at Ye Luo with a complex expression.

"Young Master Ye, do you really want to stay with me at Qingxiu Peak?"

In her view, Qingxiu Peak was bound to be breached, and under the siege of the two tribes, escape seemed impossible.

However, the little girl’s thoughts were somewhat too theoretical; the Kunshan Tribe couldn’t be that devoted.

Seeing the determined expression on the little girl’s face, Ye Luo felt a bit of compassion and intended to comfort her.

But just as he was about to speak, she interrupted him.

"Young Master Ye, you don’t need to say anything. I will remember this kindness, and if you want to do something, I... I will follow your lead!"

Having said that, she shyly lowered her head.

Ye Luo naturally understood that in extreme situations, people were likely to make decisions that went beyond reason.

For instance, at this moment, the Ice Princess believed she couldn’t escape this calamity, so she considered giving herself to Ye Luo.

This young girl was becoming increasingly charming, gradually shedding her childish demeanor, yet still exuding a certain innocence, which was precisely the most alluring aspect.

And, Ye Luo hadn’t tasted meat for decades! Had the Ice Princess not entered just now, perhaps he would have had a taste.

Of course, it’s not that he wasn’t picky, but the bond with Qiong Yao, fermented over these decades, had grown stronger! One could say it was already the natural progression of things.

Both he and Qiong Yao understood this very well.

However, if he took action with the Ice Princess now, wouldn’t that be exploiting someone’s vulnerability? Ye Luo wasn’t a saint, but this was something he most avoided!

One could also say that the Ice Princess’s feelings for him hadn’t reached the point of being together; after all, there was a significant gap between the Ice Princess and Qiong Yao.

Her actions were merely an irrational decision made in a crisis, being at the prime of her youth. While cultivators might seem like immortals to ordinary people, only they themselves knew that when it came to emotions and the future, their mindset wasn’t much different from that of ordinary people.

Just like the Ice Princess, she longed for love and hoped to be adored by the man she loved. But if she perished in this crisis, those would become her regrets.

And coincidentally, she wasn’t averse to Ye Luo; she even harbored a trace of affection for him in her heart. It was precisely because of this that she made such a decision.

"You don’t need to think that way. With me here, you’ll be fine. When you’re more rational and if you still make this decision, I’ll naturally agree!" Ye Luo chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the Ice Princess realized Ye Luo had seen through her thoughts. Hearing the latter part, her face turned crimson, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Alright, tell me about the details of the Kunshan Tribe!" Seeing this scene, Ye Luo immediately gave her a way out, changing the topic.

Hearing this, the Ice Princess’s expression immediately became serious, and she began analyzing the situation of the two tribes with him. Naturally, Qingxiu Peak was well-informed about the movements of both tribes, as they each had spies at the peak.

Even though Ye Luo had some reliance, his expression was still somber as water when he walked out of the main hall.

The crisis this time was definitely no smaller than the one in the cave!

"Young Master Ye!"

A voice called out from afar. Ye Luo looked intently and realized it was the Vice Clan Leader!

"Senior, you’re too kind. I don’t deserve such a formal address as ’young master’!" Ye Luo hurried over to pay his respects.

This Vice Clan Leader had hidden his strength before, and his true ability was absolutely on par with the three ancestors’, making him a top-tier expert within this space-time channel. Naturally, he should be respected by Ye Luo.

"No need for formalities. If the young master is available, why not have a chat in my cave mansion?"

Ye Luo understood that he was being sought for the upcoming crisis.

Therefore, Ye Luo nodded directly, as he wanted to understand what ideas the Vice Clan Leader had.

The cave mansion arranged for him by the Ice Princess was naturally not lacking. Although it might not be as luxurious as Ye Luo’s main hall, the abundance of spiritual energy there was clearly the best on the entire peak, making cultivation there much more advantageous than elsewhere.

"Senior, are you here because of the Kunshan Tribe?"

Upon entering the cave mansion, Ye Luo asked proactively.

The Vice Clan Leader sighed immediately, "Originally, Qingxiu Peak and the Moonwater Tribe were one, but now the Moonwater Tribe has colluded with the Kunshan Tribe, wanting to destroy Qingxiu Peak. It’s truly disheartening!"

Ye Luo nodded slightly, "Things have come to this point. Does Senior have any good ideas?"

"I believe the Ice Princess might have already told you. You few should take Xiu’er and leave this place quickly. If any longer, and the space is sealed, we would be powerless!" the Vice Clan Leader said.

Ye Luo, however, shook his head, "Senior, I’ve already decided to stay at Qingxiu Peak, and I do have some tricks. Those two tribes may not necessarily be able to deal with us!"

The Vice Clan Leader sighed again, "You do not understand the crux of it. If Xiu’er were not on this peak, perhaps as you said, we could withstand it. But as it stands, they will go all out for Xiu’er, even to the point of sacrificing the entire Moonwater Tribe!"

These words truly stunned Ye Luo. Could it be that Princess Xiu had some special significance to the Moonwater Tribe?

"Senior, what is the reason for this?" At this point, Ye Luo had no reservations. Only by clarifying the issue could he make a decision.

If this were truly the case, then Qingxiu Peak might indeed be at risk of annihilation.

"Alas, this matter involves Bing’er and Xiu’er’s mother. There are some things I can’t say too much about, so I hope you won’t hold it against me! But you must understand, Xiu’er’s physical form is something the Moonwater Tribe will never give up, and Qingxiu Peak is equally important to them!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo’s expression became genuinely grave.

"Young Master, I have only one request, and that is to ensure the safety of Xiu’er and Bing’er. Xiu’er’s mother was a benefactor to me in life and death, and I watched both of them grow up. They are no different from my own children. I implore you!"

Saying this, he even bowed to Ye Luo.

This action truly startled Ye Luo, "Senior, what is the meaning of this?"

He hurriedly supported the Vice Clan Leader with his hand. Such a formal gesture was something Ye Luo couldn’t accept.
