On Qingyun Peak, in an ancient sect.
Several wooden houses were built on the mountainside. Inside one of them, Chen Lingxin lay on the bed.
Compared to Chen Lingyi, her younger sister seemed to have grown better. Although she was slightly younger than Chen Lingyi, she was a bit taller.
Beside her, Chen Lingyi looked nervous, and Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao also wore looks of concern.
“Are you ready? She’s about to wake up.”
Ye Yun glanced at Chen Lingyi, who nodded repeatedly, but the trembling of her eyebrows still betrayed her nervousness.
Then, he snapped his fingers, and a surge of profound energy merged into the girl’s body. Chen Lingxin immediately glowed white, her eyebrows twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.
The girl had azure eyes like a starry sky. After blinking slowly, she sat up and noticed Chen Lingyi beside her, as well as the unfamiliar environment and people.
“Sister… where is this?”
Chen Lingxin’s voice was clear and cold, seemingly more rational than her elder sister. Her memory was still stuck in the moment before she fainted, causing a slight disconnect in her thoughts.
Chen Lingyi, on the other hand, excitedly hugged her.
“Lingxin, you’re finally awake! That’s wonderful!”
Seeing her sister awaken, Chen Lingyi couldn’t calm down, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
This made the embraced Chen Lingxin even more puzzled. She reached out and touched her head, saying,
“Sister, why are you crying? Did someone bully you again?”
Chen Lingyi shook her head, hastily wiping away her tears and saying,
“No, no, I’m just too happy that you’re finally awake…”
Witnessing this heartwarming reunion, Ye Yun couldn’t help but smile, but at the same time, he felt a pang of sadness. He then quietly left the room with Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao.
“The rest of the time, I’ll leave it to them.”
Ye Yun gently closed the door and let out a long sigh as he gazed at the distant sky.
Currently, on Qingyun Peak, the black Flood Dragon was coiled there. However, its fierce appearance posed no threat to the people here; instead, it had been severely mistreated.
For instance, its head was now resting on the ground, looking utterly dejected, as it allowed Xiao Xue, standing nearby, to pet it. It didn’t even have the courage to move.
It was no match for Zhuque. A Flood Dragon facing a Vermilion Bird was like a worm facing a hen – utterly desperate. Both bloodline and cultivation were completely suppressed.
Xiao Xue also seemed to enjoy playing with the snake, spending her days happily playing alone.
In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere here, the area in front of the wooden house was tinged with sadness.
Lin Xueyan, standing beside him, glanced at the wooden house and asked, “Master, can Lingyi’s sister really be saved?”
Ye Yun slowly replied, “She should be. We’ve also received news from Yu Wenya that she’s sent the top physicians, and they’ll arrive in the next two days.”
At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Yun and said,
“Master, you don’t really have confidence in the cure, do you?”
From their earlier conversation, they were all acutely aware of the dire situation of Lingyi’s sister.
The moment the two toxins clashed, it had inflicted irreversible severe damage on Chen Lingxin. In fact, considering the subsequent treatment, it would have been best to suppress her and prevent her from waking up. Yet, Ye Yun had chosen to let her wake, which spoke volumes.
If she couldn’t be saved in time, Chen Lingxin would be depleting her remaining life force with every passing moment.
Ye Yun turned his head and looked. Bai Xiaoxiao’s words were indeed accurate, but Ye Yun’s demeanor remained unchanged. He said calmly,
“Nothing is absolute, but I will do my utmost to achieve this.”
Strictly speaking, Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao were now without any family. Ye Yun did not want Chen Lingyi to end up in the same situation.
Hearing this, Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao exchanged glances and then smiled at their master.
“Anyway, Master has created so many miracles before. This time, there won’t be any exceptions!”
Having been with him for so long, they had developed an almost inexplicable confidence in their master. It seemed that as long as their master took action, there was nothing he couldn’t solve!
Ye Yun smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, the word ‘miracle’ was created for me to achieve.”
After speaking, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, you two stay and keep your junior sister company for now. I’m going to see the Sect Master.”
He hadn’t seen Gu Chen since his return. He figured the Sect Master must be going crazy by now.
Inside the Sect Master’s Hall, as soon as Ye Yun arrived, Gu Chen rushed over and said indignantly,
“I say, you guy, you still remember that you have me, the Sect Master? It’s been so long since the Sage’s Tomb ended, where have you been gallivanting?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun glanced at him and couldn’t help but retort,
“Sect Master, your gaze, and your words… they sound a bit like something a sulky little wife would say?”
“……”
Gu Chen’s face was filled with dark lines. He glared at Ye Yun fiercely and said,
“Fine, you’ve gotten capable, haven’t you! Now that you’ve become stronger, you don’t respect your Sect Master anymore!”
“See, it’s even more like it…”
Ye Yun spread his hands. It was fortunate that the Sect Master was a man; otherwise, it would have been exactly the same.
Ye Yun’s teasing left Gu Chen speechless, wishing he could beat him. In the end, he could only say in exasperation,
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me honestly, what is going on?!”
He glared at Ye Yun and said, “How could you, out of the blue, wipe out the teams from Xuanming Immortal Palace and Fulong Immortal Palace? And even completely kill their Young Palace Lords?”
Hearing this, Ye Yun stopped teasing and gave a rough explanation of how he had a feud with Xuanming Immortal Palace and the subsequent battle.
Ultimately, the root of everything still lay with Mu Yangtuo and the Sage’s inheritance.
After listening, Gu Chen frowned and finally snorted,
“So that’s what happened. Well done! Those guys who only know how to bully others with their power should be taught a lesson!”
As a man of similar fiery spirit, Gu Chen was quite compatible with Ye Yun on this point.
However, he couldn’t help but sigh,
“While it’s satisfying, with your actions, our Gudao Heavenly Sect’s situation has become precarious.”
“Now everyone knows you’ve completely offended the two major Immortal Palaces, and they’ll likely seek revenge against you at all costs. Many disciples and even elders have already withdrawn from the sect.”
Hearing this, Ye Yun shrugged, appearing indifferent, and said, “It doesn’t matter if more people leave. They can only share prosperity, not hardship.”
Gu Chen rolled his eyes at him, “I think the main reason is that you’ve stirred up such a huge mess this time, so big that even this sect has been frightened.”
Ye Yun spread his hands, “So, esteemed Sect Master, why don’t you expel me from Gudao Heavenly Sect? That way, you won’t have to worry about being implicated in the revenge of the other two Immortal Palaces.”
