Yunxi's hand paused as she poured herself Spirit Tea. She set down the teapot and said:
"Looks like I can't slack off even if I want to."
Lan Yue shook her head somewhat speechlessly.
"Just to slack off, you're willing to give up a supreme treasure like the 'Moon Gate.' You've truly opened my eyes."
Yunxi said unconcernedly:
"Everyone wants treasures, but keeping a Mystic Treasure definitely comes at a price. Why did the Old Ancestor of the Moon Gate take the 'Gate' away back then? Wasn't it to prevent people from setting their sights on the Moon Gate?
"But in the end, the 'Gate' fell into the hands of evil cultivators. Clearly, even the Moon Gate's Old Ancestor failed to safeguard the divided treasure.
"Didn't your Moon Gate also store the 'Time Key' and 'Space Key' separately? In the end, didn't that still draw the covetous eyes of evil cultivators?"
Lan Yue continued asking curiously:
"Now that I know the 'Moon Gate' is in your hands, what do you think would happen if I spread this news?"
Yunxi replied with a smile:
"Nothing much. After all, when news spread that the Moon Gate's sect-protecting treasure had been stolen by evil cultivators, hardly anyone believed it. They merely thought it was a smokescreen by the Moon Gate.
"At worst, I'll dissolve my contract with the 'Moon Gate' before everyone and return it to its rightful owner. I just wonder whether you'll be able to protect the reunited Mystic Treasure then."
The moment Lan Yue heard this, her expression changed. If Ranxi truly did that, she would absolutely doom the Moon Gate. After all, there had always been rumors in the Demon Realm that the Moon Gate possessed a Mystic Treasure, though there had never been solid proof to support them.
