Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1558: Lie Peiqi

Xiao Tiandi accepted Wang Wei’s invitation, so he teleported to his room. "Lin Fan, this is Xiao Tiandi. Xiao Tiandi, this is Lin Fan," Wang Wei introduced them.

"We know each other," Lin Fan said as he saluted Xiao Tiandi, who returned the favor.

"You do?"

"Our masters know each other and are considered friends, so we’ve met and can be considered acquaintances," Xiao Tiandi replied, but he was slightly distracted. He observed how comfortable Wang Wei’s lounging chair was and condensed one for himself.

"I forgot about that," Wang Wei nodded. He remembered Kong used to buy information from Xun Junyao, just like he did. Since he invited everyone, Wang Wei poured the wine. The Pure Art Blue Mansion had its own unique brew called the Lustful Immortal Dream, which can be considered top class among all the wines in the world.

"You still haven’t told me why you’re here?"

"The Butterfly Princess invited my master," Xiao Tiandi replied as he enjoyed his win.

"A meeting between the current and former most beautiful woman?" Lin Fan commented. His nose almost bled thinking of such a sight, and he wasn’t the only one.

"Pervert," Wang Wei mocked.

"Don’t tell me you weren’t picturing it too," Lin Fan sneered.

"I’ll have you know I also imagined my wife being present. Can you say the same?"

Lin Fan was immediately tongue-tied. "Alright, we know we can’t argue with your golden tongue."

"Speak for yourself," Xiao Tiandi rebutted before looking at Wang Wei smugly. "I don’t need to picture other people."

"So, you admit you have impure thoughts about your master?"

Xao Tiandi almost spilled his cup. "Bastard, can’t you show a little bit of respect?"

Wang Wei ignored him. Bullying these two was too easy. Their wives might put up a better fight. "Why does the Butterfly Princess want to see your master?"

"She claimed it was to help with new work. As you know, my master enjoys great art." Indeed, Xun Junyao was renowned for her passion for art. That’s why her birthday required a performance by all the participants.

"As soon as you said these words, I smelled conspiracy. I’m surprise you didn’t," Wang Wei commented.

"Conspiracy? Why would there be a conspiracy?... Do you suspect the Butterfly Prince is scheming for my master’s perfection?"

"If you look at the princess’s life closely, you will find many anomalies. She has never left the Qin Dynasty. She has rejected every marriage proposal she received, which wouldn’t be an issue if not for the fact that no one from Qin has ever proposed to her.

"Well, that’s not entirely true. The one prince who died was soon exiled and never returned to the capital. The odd thing is that even the Human Emperor himself was never tempted by her beauty. You could argue he’s a disciplined man, so he controlled himself.

"But you mean to tell me such an ambitious man would not be tempted by her talent to help people break through? Based on the Human Emperor’s personality, he should have already acquired or destroyed her — not just imprisoned her in this city."

"It’s also odd that a courtesan has the word princess in her title," Lin Fan added. "Unless the Human Emperor accepted that title, many people would have impeached her, and even destroyed the mansion out of fury or as an excuse to eliminate her." An idea suddenly flashed in his mind. "Do you think she’s a secret Qin Princess?"

"The name is indeed a great indicator," Wang Wei nodded. He felt like he was catching on to something.

"Forget about her name. What conspiracy could she have against my master?"

"How should I know? I just think the invite is suspicious," Wang Wei shrugged.

Xiao Tiandi stared at him. "Forget it, I’ll think about it myself. Conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy...The master said an artist of the princess’s level no longer has anything to prove, so her new work must be something crucial — something personal that surpasses her previous work.

"Her new work? Does the Butterfly Princess wish to use the master’s physique to perfect her new work? No, maybe she wants to create the perfect work of art." Xiao Tiandi stood up and immediately teleported away.

"Love — isn’t it a beautiful thing?" Wang Wei sighed deeply. However, Lin Fan did not answer him. Instead, the latter had a deep frown plastered on his face.

"What’s wrong?"

"I have a sudden bad feeling about this."

"You should."

"What do you mean?"

"Now that your master is the destiny chosen, he and the people related to him will find themselves helplessly drawn to numerous events," Wang Wei shuckled. "I could probably guess what happened. Xu Shi went to improve her skill, probably learning from a top courtesan. In the process, the Butterfly Princess caught her attention for one reason or another and invited her to participate in her new masterpiece." He wasn’t able to sense Xu Shi, Xun Junyao, and the Butterfly Princess, which explained a lot.

Lin Fan’s face turned ugly, so he immediately teleported away, leaving the laughing Wang Wei. "It feels so good not to be the one having to worry every day."

The two returned a few minutes later.

"Well?"

"They have already isolated themselves for the finishing touch," Xiao Tiandi said with gritted teeth.

Wang Wei clicked his tongue. "Imagine how much security you would feel about now if you had a powerful faction behind you."

"Do you think this is the time for this?" Xiao Tiandi said with a slightly raised voice.

"I’m just saying," Wang Wei shrugged.

"I’m leaving," Lin Fan said. He wanted to inform his teacher about this situation.

"Good, and have fun being destiny’s bitch," Wang Wei chuckled.

Lin Fanb gave him a hard stare before disappearing. Xiao Tiandi snorted coldly before returning to his private room.

"The party is already over? What a shame," Wang Wei laughed. He relaxed his body on the chair. "It’s good to allow myself to get tipsy once in a while."

Wang Wei enjoyed himself in the next few days. The performance was indeed outstanding. If not for his peak cultivation, a few of them might have allowed him to become enlightened. Three days later, the Origin Seal Continent arrived.

Wu Hong’s arrival, as expected, was extraordinary. She stood on a flying river with the twins behind her. However, it was not a common river. No, it was an artificially created Grand Dao Source with intense and pure Dao Rhymes from all 3800 primary Daos. The Origin Seal Continent left a trail of people being suddenly enlightened from a quick observation of that river.

"That woman can make an entrance, can’t she?" Wang Wei smiled. He had to wait two more days before Wu Hong joined him, and he waited with bated breath. And as soon as she appeared, he rushed into her embrace.

"A little excited, aren’t we?"

"I miss your angelic face," Wang Wei smiled.

"I’m sure you did," Wu Hong gave him a quick kiss.

"That’s it?"

"I’m not going to be overly affectionate after you spend days lusting after other women."

"I did no such thing. I was appreciating their art."

"I’m sure you were," Wu Hong nodded as she lay in his chair. "Where are my recordings?"

"Here you are, my queen," Wang Wei said as he handed a few talismans to her. He poured wine for her before sitting in another chair opposite hers. "Was it a good idea to bring the twins and leave the puppet as guardian?"

"His name is Lie Peiqi, and he’s not just a puppet. He has a soul, consciousness, and his own will. I’m tired of the rest of the world treating him as an object."

"Whoa, I’m sorry. I didn’t know he meant that much to you."

Wu Hong sighed. She took a deep gulp of her wine. "No, I’m the one who should apologize." She didn’t really talk about Lie Peiqi, so it’s understandable that he didn’t understand.

"Did something happen?" Wang Wei asked.

"Most people don’t know this, but Lie Peiqi can be considered my master."

"Oh?

"He’s the one who taught and aided me to become a Primal. Although our relationship started as strictly business, with me promising to fix him after I became a Primal, we grew close, and I do consider him my master — even if he refuses to accept the status."

Wang Wei listened quietly without interrupting her.

"I just finished helping heal the damages from the Ultimate Taboo and wanted to introduce him to you, even asking that he officiate our wedding. However, he told me that now that the continent didn’t need him, he was going to leave."

Wu Hong reached to refill her cup, but instead took the pot and drank the entire thing.

"I always knew this day would come. When we first met, all he talked about was returning home. You know, I wouldn’t be so upset if he told me where his home was, or allowed me to help. No, that stubborn idiot — he has to do everything himself."
