In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 387: A New Alliance

After remaining silent for a long time, she finally accepted the handkerchief Yue Mingxuan offered her.

Then she said softly, "Let me go in your place."

"What did you say?"

"If your appearance is exposed, the consequences will be extremely dangerous. As for the Nine Abyssal Gate, I hate that place to my very core. If I go instead, it will probably be much easier than if you go."

"Absolutely not! Do you understand how dangerous the Nine Abyssal Gate truly is?"

"Of course I do."

Tang Youyou lifted her head.

Her eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

Yue Mingxuan could not understand why she was willing to do this.

Yet all the resentment he had once felt toward Tang Youyou had completely disappeared.

For years, Tang Youyou had opposed him at every turn.

She had even schemed against him and tried to frame him in the past.

And yet now, she was voluntarily offering to undertake such a dangerous mission on his behalf.

If Yue Mingxuan claimed he was not moved by this gesture, he would only be lying to himself.

"You..."

Yue Mingxuan wanted to say more.

However, Tang Youyou had already turned around and walked away.

Being left alone, Yue Mingxuan slowly sat down and released a long quiet sigh.

"I’ve made my decision. I want to work together with you."

Not long after Tang Youyou left, Yue Mingxuan got up and went to find Hu Mei’er, the person he actually did not want to see at the moment.

"You’ve made a very wise decision."

Hu Mei’er smiled as he spoke.

Yue Mingxuan said nothing.

The expression on his face remained heavy and solemn.

As he looked at Hu Mei’er’s face, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Consort Wan from years ago.

He could only hope that Hu Mei’er would not disappoint him.

After leaving Hu Mei’er, Yue Mingxuan went to find Shang Qinghua again.

However, there was no surprise on Shang Qinghua’s face.

It was almost as though he had already known what decision Tang Youyou would make.

He simply said, "I understand."

"Tang Youyou was once your most loyal subordinate. Could it be that you..."

"I don’t have the ability to control what she thinks."

Shang Qinghua shook his head.

"If she insists on going to the Nine Abyssal Gate, I won’t be able to stop her."

After hearing those words, Yue Mingxuan could only sigh.

He had originally hoped that if Shang Qinghua tried to persuade Tang Youyou, perhaps she would give up this dangerous plan.

As for the methods employed by the Nine Abyssal Gate, Yue Mingxuan did not know very much.

He only knew that it was a place from which ordinary people could rarely leave alive.

He did not know exactly how powerful Tang Youyou was, but he did know that her abilities were not much greater than his own.

Recently, his sparring sessions with Li Xunhuan had also come to an end.

Shang Qinghua had always treated him with great care and affection, making him an unsuitable sparring partner.

When Yue Mingxuan thought about the jade pendant that Li Xunhuan had recovered for him, a sharp ache rose within his heart.

Not long ago, he had been wondering how many people around him could truly be trusted.

Now, one after another, those same people had given him their answer.

Shang Qinghua.

Bai Huayue.

Li Xunhuan.

Xie Yunlan.

Tang Youyou.

Gongsun Xing.

Wang Jian.

Every one of his friends had given him their greatest support.

With a group of friends like that standing beside him, what was there left for him to fear?

Yue Mingxuan thought to himself.

It was as though a surge of strength suddenly filled his entire body.

All the doubts and confusion that had haunted him seemed to vanish at once.

For a long time, this matter had weighed heavily on his heart and caused him immense pain.

But now, he had finally found a way forward.

A rare smile appeared on his face.

It had been a very long time since he had smiled so freely and wholeheartedly.

With these people beside him, he felt that his battle against the Nine Abyssal Gate would not be quite so difficult.

He did not know who exactly was hidden within the Nine Abyssal Gate.

Nor did he know what methods they possessed.

But he did know one thing.

He was surrounded by friends he could trust completely.

"Big Brother Mingxuan, while you’re staying in The Black Archon, you should focus on practicing the Ninefold Celestial Mystery."

Hu Mei’er’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

Yue Mingxuan asked curiously, "How do you know that I practice the Ninefold Celestial Mystery?"

"The Ninefold Celestial Mystery was originally taught to my mother by your mother."

Hu Mei’er smiled.

"It seems to be a martial art passed down through the same lineage. As for me... well, I actually don’t know how to use it."

Yue Mingxuan became even more curious.

However, he did not ask any further questions.

Hu Mei’er carried far more secrets than Yue Mingxuan could possibly imagine.

"The Ninefold Celestial Mystery was something I had only managed to learn by chance."

"Mhm. That technique requires both opportunity and fate. Without extraordinary perseverance, it is impossible to master."

Yue Mingxuan did not respond.

His Ninefold Celestial Mystery had already reached level seventh, yet no matter what he tried, he could not advance any further.

Perhaps every cultivation technique encountered a bottleneck once it reached a certain level.

Yue Mingxuan desperately wanted to break through, but this was not something that could be achieved through desire alone.

Sometimes, advancement in a cultivation technique also depended on destiny and opportunity.

Yue Mingxuan did not know whether the right opportunity had arrived for him yet, so for now, all he could do was continue trying.

"The Ninefold Celestial Mystery is indeed incredibly useful. The only problem is that I don’t know how to continue cultivating it."

"The Ninefold Celestial Mystery is extremely powerful. If someone manages to cultivate it to the very end, it seems to have a certain connection with the Hidden Jade Bracelet as well," Hu Mei’er continued. "Big Brother Mingxuan, in any case, you must cultivate this technique properly. As for everything else, leave it to me."
