Among a group of ordinary people, there was only one cultivator at the mid-stage of Martial Spirit.

Jia Xitong immediately recognized him as the "expert" who protected Wei Feiying, so she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to save him. Reposition his head."

Normally, the young man would only obey Wei Feiying.

He would never allow such a suspicious person to get close to the Second Young Master.

But today... standing next to her is a martial arts practitioner whose cultivation level is far higher than hers.

The young man was a shrewd and pragmatic man. He clasped his hands and bowed to Shang Yanting, saying, "I'm sorry to trouble you two seniors to come to my rescue." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and straightened Wei Feiying's head as Jia Xitong had instructed.

"Yes, that's it."

Jia Xitong nodded slightly, then placed one hand on Wei Feiying's chest and punched him with the other.

Three times in a row.

The speed was so fast that the young man next to him didn't even have time to react. Immediately afterwards, the water that had choked Wei Feiying came out of his mouth.

Wei Feiying took a deep breath.

He opened his eyes again and saw Jia Xitong nearby. "Are all the young ladies in the underworld this beautiful?"

Shang Yanting's face darkened, and he pulled Jia Xitong to his side. His expression seemed to say, "If you want to go to the underworld, I can send you on your way."

"I apologize for my rudeness, senior."

The young monk quickly apologized, then had Wei Feiying carried into the cabin of the painted boat.

The group dispersed, revealing the person they had mistakenly saved earlier. He was still lying there, soaking wet. Everyone on the pleasure boat was concerned about Wei Feiying; no one cared whether he was dead or alive.

Jia Xitong, who was about to leave, paused and walked towards the person.

White clothes, white hair.

As soon as I walked in, she seemed somewhat familiar.

When she turned the person over, her eyes widened in surprise at the familiar yet unfamiliar features.

Good heavens!

It's Senior Bai Yu!

Is she a younger version of Bai Yu?!

She couldn't be mistaken, could she? How could Senior Bai Yu have fallen into the lake? As one of the four elders of Yimeng Academy, it would be more believable that he drank the lake dry than that Senior Bai Yu drowned.

Perhaps... he is Bai Yu's twin brother.

Jia Xitong took a deep breath and then checked his pulse. Martial arts practitioners are much more resilient than ordinary people; he still had a pulse after being submerged for so long.

She mimicked the way she had saved Wei Feiying earlier, and smacked Bai Yu's... younger brother's chest.

The water came out.

Bai Yu Zhenjun's younger brother opened his eyes briefly, then closed them again weakly.

"Hello?"

Jia Xitong patted his face, "Fellow Daoist, wake up?"

She reached out and felt his pulse, but since she wasn't a professional, she couldn't tell if it was good or bad.

“Dear host, let’s take him back to Xianlong Peak and let Li Tuo take a look.” Jia Xitong looked at Shang Yanting standing next to her.

Shang Yanting withdrew his gaze from the man. "You recognize him?"

"Ah... I don't know him."

Jia Xitong shook her head.

This person just looks like a young Baiyu Zhenjun; he might not be.

"I just wanted to help those in need and make a good connection with them."

"Really? Isn't he True Monarch Baiyu?"

Shang Yanting slowly uttered the name, looking as if he had seen through the truth, "White clothes and white hair, the expression on your face when you first saw him."

Furthermore, his clothes were embroidered with the subtle patterns exclusive to the elders of Yimeng Academy.

Is it really Senior Bai Yu?

When Shang Yanting mentioned the subtle patterns on the clothes, she took a closer look.

As expected.

It really is Senior Bai Yu!

"Host, you're amazing! With just this little bit of information, you confirmed Senior Bai Yu's identity before I did."

"Since it really is him, let's take him back to Xianlong Peak first."

Jia Xitong frowned slightly. "Senior Bai Yu is incredibly powerful, practically a martial arts master. What happened to him that caused him to lose all his spiritual power and revert to his original form..."

"Since we don't know anything, let's take him away first."

Shang Yanting said expressionlessly.

Jia Xitong had thought Shang Yanting would refuse to take Senior Bai Yu back, but to her surprise, he agreed immediately. Jia Xitong, who was prepared to waste her breath arguing, paused for a moment, then nodded. She returned to Senior Bai Yu's side and tried to lift him up.

Seeing this, Shang Yanting reached out and slapped away Jia Xitong's hand that was supporting Bai Yuzhenjun, saying, "Why are you moving him? Niu Chuanchuan and Huo Rui will handle this when they get back."

They had originally planned a three-day trip to Renze Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Bai Yu Zhenjun here, and the very next day they returned to Xianlong Peak.

Guest room

Li Tuo is applying silver needles to Baiyu Zhenjun.

Half an hour later, Bai Yu Zhenjun was forcibly awakened by Li Tuo's array formation. He opened his eyes, his body limp, and looked into the room, "Fellow Daoist Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting nodded slightly, "That's right, I saved you."

Bai Yu Zhenjun was slightly taken aback by these words, and then said to him, "Thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist. May I ask where you saved me?"

“Yesterday in a lake in a small country.”

Shang Yanting said, "Fellow Daoist descended from the sky and just happened to smash an ordinary citizen into the water."

Jia Xitong glanced at him upon hearing this.

Although what her host said was true, it always felt like there was some personal grudge involved.

Sure enough, Bai Yu Zhenjun's already pale face turned even paler. "How is that commoner now?"

"She's been rescued, she's alright."

Seeing his appearance, Jia Xitong quickly said, "Senior, please take good care of your injuries and don't blame yourself."

Bai Yu Zhenjun smiled slightly at her, "Thank you, young friend, for your help with the talisman."

"You're welcome."

Jia Xitong waved her hand.

She had barely finished speaking when she felt a burning gaze upon her—

It's Shang Yanting!

Her master was staring at her with burning eyes, just like he was seeing Pan Jinlian drugging her.

Jia Xitong immediately shut her mouth.

Shang Yanting withdrew his gaze from Jia Xitong. "Senior Baiyu's cultivation is profound. I wonder who caused you to be in this state?"

"They are demons."

Bai Yu Zhenjun recalled the situation at the time: "It was a small group of people who appeared out of nowhere. They had a special magic weapon that could make people lose their cultivation immediately."

"A magical artifact that powerful?"

Jia Xitong was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this, "Senior Bai Yu, someone as powerful as you can do that?"

"right."

Bai Yu Zhenjun frowned deeply. "At the time, I was on my way to a friend's sect when I was ambushed by a group of demonic cultivators. They used a strange, arc-shaped magical artifact. Just getting close to it caused one's soul to heat up, and after a short while, all spiritual power was gone."

"What a strange magical artifact!"

Jia Xitong couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

in addition……

"The demonic cultivators have already secretly infiltrated our martial cultivators' territory?!"
