Chapter 59: You Didn’t Expect This, Did You?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At five o’clock, Spring Mountain of Water Moon Dock.

As the sun set in the West, the beautiful evening glow dyed the Water Moon Lake a magnificent orange-red color. After the fog dissipated, the endless waves were shocking.

The Spring Mountain and the pavilion of Water Moon Dock embedded in it were shrouded in the setting sun, tracing a golden-red outline.

On the long corridor of Water Moon Dock and the mountain path of Spring Mountain were Water Moon Dock disciples dressed in moon-white robes in groups of two or three. There were both men and women, and they were slowly strolling with smiles on their faces. However, there were more female disciples in general. After a day’s cultivation and sect affairs, the biggest daily activity of Water Moon Dock disciples was probably resting in Spring Mountain.

In the game, Spring Mountain was a must-visit spot for those who wanted to enjoy the scenery. It was a special scenic spot (not really).

On the mountain path of the spring Mountain, a few ordinary outer sect disciples were walking on the road. One of them, a thin and tall youth, turned his head and said, “Tell me, Elder Zou is so sure that he wants to summon the soul, is Senior Brother Yue a spy from the demon sect?”

A young girl with a ponytail pouted. “Definitely not. How could Senior Brother Yue be a member of the demonic sect? he grew up in the Water Moon Dock and his father is an elder. What reason would he have to be a spy for the demonic sect? In my opinion, only those with no talent and ability would be bribed by the demonic sect.”

“Don’t say that. It’s not like there haven’t been rumors of your Senior Brother Yue oppressing other disciples. We’ve never come into contact with such a high and mighty figure, so how would we know what they’re thinking?” A fat man laughed.

The tall and thin man turned to look at the teenager at the back. “What about you, Ma Shu? You’re the most well-informed. What’s the situation now?”

Ma Shu raised his head, and a harmless smile appeared on his round face. He said with some difficulty, “No matter how well-informed I am, I’m still just an outer sect disciple, right? How could I really know the intentions of these big shots above me?”

“You previously swore that Senior Brother Yue was a spy from the demonic sect, not to mention that you’re the one who found the decisive evidence,” the young girl snorted coldly.

Ma Shu scratched his head. “But I’m just telling the truth. I’m also very scared. At that time, it was Senior Liu who found the clue first. I only accidentally found those letters when I was collecting Senior Brother Yue’s body.”

The young lady snorted, “Maybe you’re the one that’s…”

The tall and thin man quickly said, “Stop, stop, stop. We’re here to relax, not to fight. Haven’t you had enough fighting in the Martial Arts Pavilion during the day? It’s the day of the outer sect competition soon, so it’s better to be patient.”

Fatty pouted. “It’s so chaotic now. Everyone’s waiting for the result of the Soul Summoning. Where would they find the energy to cultivate? the outer sect competition might even be postponed.”

Ma Shu suddenly turned to the girl and said, “Yue Longzhang has been in the Water Moon Dock for generations. I have also been in the Water Moon Dock for generations. Just because he has a good background and I have a low background, you call me a spy from the demonic sect?!”

Everyone was stunned and looked at the young girl. The young girl was confused. “What are you saying? When did I accuse you…?”

None of the people present had a good background and were not doing well in the outer sect. At this moment, Ma Shu’s words undoubtedly pushed the girl to the opposite side of everyone.

Ma Shu pointed at her angrily and said, “Everyone knows that I have a good temper and a nice guy. I don’t get angry with anyone, but I can’t stand this insult today! You just whispered that I’m a spy from the demonic sect and you still won’t admit it!”

The girl was so anxious that she almost cried. She stared at Ma Shu in disbelief. “You, you framed me! You must be the spy from the demonic sect! What do you mean by ‘nice guy’? It’s just your disguise!”

“Everyone heard it!” Ma Shu shouted, feeling wronged. “She insulted me and even wanted to make a false accusation! Hmph! I’ll cut off all ties with you today!”

In his anger, he waved his sleeves and left. He passed by the crowd and walked into the forest.

The crowd’s consoling and condemning voices came from behind.

“He’s so young, and he’s been in Water Moon Dock for generations. How could he be a spy from the demonic sect? Junior Sister Liu, you’re being unreasonable.”

“I-I didn’t, I really didn’t…!”

“Junior Sister Liu, go and apologize to Ma Shu in a few days and everything will be over. He’s a good person and will definitely not hold it against you.”

“…”

The sound was getting further and further away.

“Bah!” Ma Shu spat on the ground and looked at the Water Moon Dock disciples behind him who were immersed in the beautiful scenery with a gloomy expression.

“If you fight with me, I’ll make you lose all your reputation!”

Ma Shu’s mood was a little better. He hummed a little tune, pushed aside the trees, and walked deeper into the spring Mountain.

Although the Moon Reflection Pool had a nice name, it was not eye-catching among the many springs in Spring Mountain. Because the spring water had dried up once in the early years, it was almost deserted and full of weeds.

Ma Shu met up with Xue Yan, who had been waiting for him by the pond.

This mortal trash was one of Ma Shu’s few consoles. He was able to crush Xue Yan in all aspects, and he felt satisfied.

Xue Yan respectfully cupped his hands and called Ma Shu ‘Senior Brother’ which made Ma Shu even better.

Senior Brother Yue, who had a bright future, was now a dead dog. Only he, Ma Shu, would be used by the demonic sect and reach the peak of his life.

Perhaps when the demonic sect razed the Water Moon Dock to the ground, he would be able to become the Dock Master, hahahahaha.

Ma Shu’s eyes flickered. He patted Xue Yan’s shoulder and said with a heavy heart. “Junior Brother Xue, you’ll know the benefits after you obtain the cultivation technique of our sacred religion. Your Dantian will be saved as well. This is a great opportunity to change your fate. You must grasp it.”

“You’re right, Senior Brother Ma, I understand,” Xue Yan said obsequiously.

“Good,” Ma Shu snorted. I’m going to bring someone you should know to meet our superiors.

“Someone I know…?”

“It’s me.” A pair of hands were placed on Xue Yan’s shoulders. Xue Yan turned around and saw Liu Yuan, whom he had just met not long ago.

“…!”

Ma Shu laughed as he looked at Xue Yan’s shocked face. “Junior Brother Xue, you didn’t expect this, did you? You came to become the son-in-law of the Water Moon Dock, became a guest elder at Chiyu Villa, and even caught the so-called demon cult spy, Mr. Junxuan. He’s also a spy from our Holy Church!”

Liu Yuan nodded and smiled indifferently. “That’s right, I’m indeed one of the thousands of undercover agents of the Holy Church. It’s just that I had an accident earlier. Not only was I seriously injured, but I also lost contact with the Holy Church. I had planned to go directly to the headquarters in Cang Continent, but I happened to meet Ma Shu, so I thought it would be safer to contact the Holy Church first.”

“That… I…” Xue Yan was indeed dumbfounded. Although Senior Brother said he has arrangements, Xue Yan did not know it was like this!

When did you become a spy of the demonic sect?

Ma Shu pouted. He was indeed a mortal. He could not even accept such a small thing. What a fuss. It was difficult to achieve great things as a spy!

“How come I didn’t know that the Holy Church has a spy here?” a voice suddenly said.

Liu Yuan turned his head and saw a man in his thirties walking over with a sneer. He was dressed in a purple robe, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore a purple gold crown.

Ma Shu quickly stepped forward and bowed with a smile.”So it’s the Third Elder. I didn’t expect you to be the one giving me pointers!”

Third Elder Hou Ying’s gaze went past him and landed on Liu Yuan.
