The Ye Family had offered a hefty reward for information on Ye Xuanji's whereabouts, and Chen Yueying did not want Wang Changsheng to antagonize Ye Xuanji over a trifling benefit.
She did not want to offend Ye Xuanji either, nor did she want Wang Changsheng to offend her.
Wang Changsheng nodded. After a moment's hesitation, he asked curiously, "Senior Sister Chen, why did Ye Xuanji betray the Ye Family?"
"I'm not sure, but I suspect Ye Xuanji merely left the Ye Family and did not truly betray it. Otherwise, the Ye Family's Great Ascension Cultivators would have taken action."
Chen Yueying explained.
"She didn't truly betray it?"
Wang Changsheng was slightly taken aback, completely bewildered. Could betrayal really be divided into true and false?
"For example, if a disciple whom our Townsea Palace has focused on cultivating entered the Body Integration Realm and then publicly announced that he was leaving the Townsea Palace, and the things he did seriously harmed our Townsea Palace's interests but he did not harm his fellow disciples, that would still count as betrayal. But our Townsea Palace could not possibly send someone to hunt him down."
Chen Yueying gave an example. Only this could explain how Ye Xuanji had remained at large until now. The Ye Family had four Great Ascension Cultivators in the open alone. If Ye Xuanji had truly harmed her clansmen or leaked the Ye Family's core secrets, the Ye Family's Great Ascension Cultivators would have taken action long ago.
Ye Xuanji was collecting large quantities of yin-attribute array formation materials. Chen Yueying had exchanged the Profound Nether Ghostwood in hopes of trading with Ye Xuanji, provided that she could enter the Great Ascension Stage. If she died beneath the Thunder Tribulation, the Profound Nether Ghostwood would be left to Zhao Yunxiao.
