634: Chapter 634: Shen Yi’s Change 634: Chapter 634: Shen Yi’s Change “What are you all doing here?
Isn’t it time for the banquet?
Let’s eat quickly, I’m starving!”
Bai Xiaofan turned around and, seeing everyone gathered, couldn’t help but speak.
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, everyone dispersed and began arranging tables and chairs.
Before long, everyone was sitting together and began to eat.
Each table was filled with happy chatter and laughter, even Huang Sanshi and others who regarded Bai Xiaofan as their leader were extremely happy.
The stronger Bai Xiaofan became, the happier they were.
Because this meant they hadn’t chosen wrong!
And Bai Xiaofan didn’t treat them as lesser beings, either.
After a hearty meal, no one seemed inclined to rest; they started a bonfire in front of the hall and even began to sing awkwardly…
Bai Xiaofan, accompanied by Shen Yi, once again left everyone’s sight and headed toward the back mountain.
“Take a moment to regulate your breathing.
I’ve modified the three swordsmanship moves that Liang Chao used earlier based on my own understanding.
There are some subtle differences from before, and I will teach them to you in a moment!”
Feeling the cool night breeze around him, Bai Xiaofan turned to Shen Yi and said.
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Shen Yi nodded slightly and sat down cross-legged to regulate her breath, striving to bring herself to the best condition.
That night, the people in front of the grand hall of Taiyi Sect didn’t sleep at all.
Everyone was excited, even Huang Sanshi and his group felt a great sense of accomplishment.
This environment, free from intrigue and worry about the morrow, truly brought relief.
Behind the mountains of Taiyi Sect, Bai Xiaofan also spent the entire night teaching Shen Yi.
He taught her not just the three sword moves but also shared his insights on swordsmanship with her.
Moreover, Bai Xiaofan taught her how to better utilize the Celestial Yuan within her body to maximize its power.
As the morning sun rose and dewdrops shimmered on the leaves, they gently fell in the breeze…
Like a young girl shedding tears for a lover, evoking a sense of pity.
“Go ahead and immerse yourself in that feeling.
I must leave now, as there are many things waiting for me in the city, and I can’t be away from home for too long!”
Looking at Shen Yi, who had made great progress after practicing all night, Bai Xiaofan said softly.
“Yes, I will not let you down, Mr.
Bai!”
Shen Yi nodded earnestly, looking intently at Bai Xiaofan.
“I will leave Huang Sanshi and the others behind.
With them here, even if other sects come to cause trouble, as long as the enemies are not too powerful, I trust you can handle it!”
Bai Xiaofan glanced in the direction of the grand hall where Huang Sanshi and the others were ready, thinking they were leaving with him for the city.
“Don’t worry, Mr.
Bai.
But if troubles arise later, can I still…
come to you for help?”
Shen Yi bit her red lip shyly and looked up at Bai Xiaofan, her beautiful eyes filled with hope.
“Of course, you can.
Have you forgotten that I promised the True Master Taiyi to do my utmost to protect Taiyi Sect?”
Bai Xiaofan smiled gently, patted Shen Yi’s head, and handed her a jade slip from his pocket.
“Keep this jade slip safe.
If you meet troubles you can’t solve, channel some Celestial Yuan into it, activate the formation inside, and then call my name through the slip.
Remember to call a few times!”
Bai Xiaofan handed Shen Yi the jade slip he had crafted overnight, speaking softly to her.
This was specially crafted while she was practicing, so he could come to Taiyi Sect’s aid at a moment’s notice.
Looking at the jade slip in her hand, Shen Yi clutched it tightly and nodded vigorously.
“Rest assured and focus on your cultivation.
I’m leaving now!”
Bai Xiaofan smiled and said something before turning to walk toward the direction of the sect entrance.
Watching Bai Xiaofan’s gradually receding figure, Shen Yi quietly stood in her original spot, not saying another word nor following after him.
Bai Xiaofan had instructed Huang Sanshi and the others to stay at ease and follow Shen Yi’s commands.
Shen Yi hadn’t moved an inch until Bai Xiaofan left through the sect’s gate.
This embrace…
still wasn’t successful…
“Huang Sanshi, how would you like to become an elder of my sect?”
After a long time, Shen Yi came down from the back mountain, approached the front of the main hall, and said to Huang Sanshi.
Huang Sanshi naturally had no objections to Shen Yi’s words.
Seeing Huang Sanshi accept the position, Shen Yi said to Ye Ling and the other sect disciples.
“From today onward, I entrust the daily affairs of our sect to Elder Brother Ye Ling.
Unless it’s something important, do not disturb me.
I am going to focus on my cultivation and keep the sect gates closed!”
After briefly instructing them, Shen Yi turned and went back to the back mountain.
From beginning to end, Shen Yi didn’t say much, her manner concise and efficient!
In an instant, Ye Ling and the others were all stunned.
Is this…
still the Shen Yi they knew before?
Why does it feel like she suddenly became much colder?
“Elder Huang, from now on, we’ll need your great support!”
Ye Ling was the first to snap out of it, cupping his fists towards Huang Sanshi as he spoke.
“Elder Ye, you flatter me.
I will definitely do my utmost to help our sect!”
Huang Sanshi also hurriedly returned the gesture.
Although Ye Ling was inferior to him in both ability and seniority,
they were now going to work together.
Moreover, he had a good impression of Ye Ling.
Besides, he was also thinking about working hard to possibly earn some Cultivation Techniques from Bai Xiaofan one day.
“Alright, everyone should go back to their duties now.
Make sure to guard all areas of our sect well.
We just won a victory in battle, and we absolutely cannot let outsiders sneak in!”
Ye Ling turned around and ordered the many disciples of the sect.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned and walked toward the back mountain.
Upon reaching the stone chamber where Shen Yi was cultivating, Ye Ling called out softly.
“Sect Leader Ye, do you have any other matters?”
The stone door opened, and Shen Yi, dressed in a blue robe, stepped out and asked Ye Ling who was standing before her.
Listening to Shen Yi’s words, and observing her expression, which was somewhat icy as if she intended to keep people at a thousand miles distance, Ye Ling felt a faint sense of loss…
“Actually, there’s nothing much.
I just saw that you seemed to be in a bad mood, so I wanted to ask about it!”
Ye Ling hesitated for a moment before asking softly.
“Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader Ye.
If there’s nothing else, you should go back to your duties.
I need to continue my cultivation!”
In response to Ye Ling’s concern, Shen Yi replied indifferently, then turned and went back inside the stone chamber, the stone door closing behind her.
Ye Ling shook his head, turned, and went back to the front of the main hall, starting to attend to matters.
Sitting in the stone chamber, Shen Yi had already resumed her cultivation.
