This is absolutely a blatant threat. I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, hehe~~~

No one doubted the truth of Ye Xiruo's words. To send a group of people away with a flick of her sleeve, her martial arts skills were simply too high. Xue Junhan hadn't taken on any disciples for over a thousand years, and now that he had finally done so, how could it be so simple?

And that bizarre formation of Lingyun Peak has only revealed the tip of the iceberg. Who knows how many more powerful moves are waiting to be used against those who are supposedly "ill-intentioned"?

The dozen or so alchemists and martial artists who were slapped away all landed face-first in the dirt.

This was practically a sneak attack! Caught completely off guard, they were sent flying. The strangest thing was that before they were slapped away, a powerful mental force directly suppressed them, rendering them completely unable to react. They could only watch helplessly as they were slapped away and then crashed heavily to the ground.

The feeling was twofold: first, anger; second, terror.

To suppress so many of them simultaneously requires an incredibly terrifying mental strength.

Let's pretend nothing happened today. Yunfeng did indeed show mercy. The most important thing is to leave here as soon as possible.

Ye Xiruo stood on a flying sword and flew directly to the summit, waiting for Xiu Qiyu and Feiyue to come up.

"Junior brother, as the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge."

"I think it might be better for Xiao Yezi to teach these people a lesson herself."

Ha, what you don't know is that we've already taught them a lesson, haven't we?

Hua Rong, Qing Zhiyi, and Chi Yi lagged a few steps behind Xiu Qiyu, feeling somewhat aggrieved by what had happened today.

They clearly wanted to follow Xiu Qiyu and wreak havoc, but after watching a show, they came back.

What happened to the promise of exuding domineering aura and intimidating those petty villains?

"It's their good fortune that Xiu Qiyu let them go this time. Once Xiao Yezi comes out of seclusion, none of those people will be able to escape."

"Indeed, let's see how they react. If they know what's good for them, they should prepare gifts early and come to apologize. Little Yezi will probably forgive them. If they're still thinking about the treasure from Lingyun Peak, I think it would be better to just chop it up."

Even Qingzhiyi, who is usually good-tempered, was furious this time, which shows how stupid these alchemists are.

No matter how long the mountain road is, it will eventually come to an end.

However, when they looked up again and saw that incredibly familiar person, everyone's faces lit up with smiles.

With a flash of white light, Xiu Qiyu appeared in front of Ye Xiruo and pulled her into his arms.

"It really is you, you're back." In this vast world, only by Xiao Yezi's side can his heart truly find peace.

"I'm back."

"Oh my, so that's why Senior Brother let those people go so easily. It turns out he was in a hurry to come back and see Little Yezi."

"It's touching to see husband and wife reunited." Hua Rong took out a sky-blue handkerchief from somewhere and pretended to wipe away non-existent tears.

Red Wings cooperated perfectly by scattering flower petals, doing everything in a beautiful and romantic way.

Feiyue stood to the side, dumbfounded. Was this really their cold-blooded, ruthless, and merciless junior brother? She couldn't believe her eyes; her junior brother was actually smiling, genuinely smiling.

That smile...no, it's too captivating.

After examining Xiu Qiyu's body and finding that her condition had greatly improved, Ye Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations on your recovery." Then he took out a six-inch Black Forest cake from his spatial ring: "This is a reward for you."

"Thank you." Xiu Qiyu smiled.

"Little Yezi, you can't be biased! We care about you too!" Hua Rong pulled Qing Zhiyi and rushed to Xiu Qiyu. This thing was called a cake. It was sweet and soft. One bite and your mouth was filled with the aroma of milk, which was incredibly delightful.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days." Ye Xiruo took out two blueberry cheesecake pies.

Hua Rong let out a "woof" and hugged the two pastries tightly, refusing to let go.

Xiu Qiyu glanced at Hua Rong, his contempt undisguised. He moved his fingers, and two beams of icy blue light flew into the blueberry cheesecake pie.

Ye Xiruo naturally witnessed this scene and smiled helplessly. What a jealous person! I wonder what Hua Rong will think when she discovers that her cake has turned into an ice sculpture.

"Those are all mine, he can just look at them." And he kept eating.

Xiu Qiyu quickly put away the Black Forest cake in her hand, and with a serious expression, pulled Ye Xiruo to Feiyue.

"Third Senior Sister, let me formally introduce you. This is my future Daoist partner—Ye Xiruo."

Feiyue smiled shyly and reservedly, "It's a match made in heaven, congratulations." Then she took out a small, palm-sized green crystal and handed it to Ye Xiruo.

"A gift to mark our meeting."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior sister."

Such a large piece of Green Source Crystal can not only quickly restore true energy, but also cultivate spiritual herbs, making its value immeasurable.

Ye Xiruo unleashed her ultimate weapon—a strawberry cream pie. No girl could resist the allure of those bright red, delicious, and sweet strawberries with cream. If one doesn't believe it, then two will.

Feiyue's alluring phoenix eyes were indeed glued to the strawberry pie and couldn't get away. This dreamy cake was so big and looked incredibly delicious; eating it would probably make you ascend to heaven.

Moreover, this cake is twice the size of the junior brother's cake. Just look at the junior brother's icy gaze; you can tell this is definitely a deluxe version.

"Thank you, it must be delicious."

Ye Xiruo, who was about to take out the second cake, suddenly stopped and smiled shyly: "I hope Third Senior Sister likes it."

"I won't bother you any longer." Fei Yue gave Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo a meaningful look, then quickly left.

"Little Leaf—"

"What's wrong?"

"A big cake."

"Yours isn't small either."

Xiu Qiyu looked at Ye Xiruo with a sour feeling in her heart.

"Ladies first. Besides, don't you dislike strawberry pie?" This is utterly unreasonable.

Okay, that makes sense.

"Little Yezi, what about your health?" That was what he cared about most.

"Fortunately, with another year or two to adjust, it should be completely fine."

"That's good."

Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo were also about to leave.

"Xiu Qiyu, you stop right there!" Hua Rong, holding a sword, angrily charged at Xiu Qiyu. Damn it, how dare he use underhanded tricks to freeze my cake! How outrageous! How outrageous!

Then, in the next second, the valiant and extraordinary Hua Rong was kicked away by Xiu Qiyu.

"Alright, let's go."

Qing Zhiyi was speechless. Where was he supposed to get someone out of there? Tell me, why did you have to be so foolish as to provoke your senior brother?
