Moon Appreciation

Qi Zhixing's "Junior Sister Yu" was still stuck in his throat, and he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the scene in front of him.

Seeing everyone watching at the door, the man stumbled out of the house, sweat soaking his hair and sticking to his cheeks.

His eyes were wide open, his face was pale, and his fingers were tightly clutching his clothes.

It was Zhu You.

Qi Shouchu looked unhappy, but he still hadn't seen Yu Heyi.

Guan Li froze in place, his eyes suddenly widening: "Senior Brother Zhu You?"

He opened and closed his lips, but no sound came out.

Qi Zhixing lowered his eyes to hide the calculation in his eyes, and his voice trembled with just the right amount: "Junior Sister Yu is so cruel."

Everyone was whispering, questioning, "Is it really Junior Sister Yu?" When Qi Zhixing heard this, his eyes curved, and there was a look of triumph in his eyes.

Even if her innocence is not ruined, it would be nice to ruin her reputation.

"Junior Sister Yu? Isn't Junior Sister Yu here?" A simple and honest male voice sounded, and everyone turned around and looked in the direction he pointed.

The girl at the end of the crowd watched their noise quietly, her fluffy hat almost covering half of her face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes and a faint smile on her lips.

It was obviously impossible for her to dress Zhu You up like this while her own clothes were not even wrinkled.

The rumor was proven wrong, and everyone just glanced at Zhu You and left one after another.

"Why are you here? You shouldn't be here...!" Guan Li shouted, and Qi Zhixing covered his mouth in panic.

"Senior sisters, where should I be then?" Yu Heyi adjusted his hat, then slowly stepped forward and looked down at Zhu You. "According to what you said, I should be in this senior brother's room, right?"

"Qi Zhixing!" The veins on Qi Shouchu's forehead bulged and his face was full of anger.

Guan Li shook his head in disbelief, muttering "Impossible", then turned and rushed into Zhu You's house.

He made eye contact with a man in the room.

Wanqi Si slowly drank a sip of hot tea and looked at Guan Li with a half-smile in his eyes. The latter looked panicked and full of disbelief.

"Why is it you!"

"Junior Sister Guan, why are you so shocked? Weren't you the one who sent me in?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Shouchu and Mi Xiu's faces darkened simultaneously, their eyes filled with anger, as if they were piercing through them. Zhu You lay on the ground, looking utterly miserable, a look of gnashing hatred instantly appearing on his face.

Guan Li's pupils suddenly constricted, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still said stubbornly: "How could I do such a thing?"

"Junior Sister Guan, have you forgotten?" Wanqi Si turned his wrist lightly and casually poured the remaining tea on the ground.

"Junior Sister Yu drank too much and went out for a walk. Mi Xiu was afraid she'd catch a cold, so he gave her a plush hat. Unfortunately, I was also cold, so I borrowed her hat. Later, I squatted by the roadside, ready to return the hat to her, but there was no sign of her."

"Although I didn't wait for Junior Sister Yu, I did wait for Junior Sister Guan and Junior Sister Qi. Junior Sister Guan even covered my mouth and nose with a drugged silk handkerchief and sent me to Zhu You's room."

He smiled ambiguously: "I thought Junior Sister Guan invited me to have tea with Zhu You."

After these words were spoken, Guan Li and Qi Zhixing's expressions became extremely ugly, and the remaining onlookers also began to discuss:

"The Yuquan Sect disciples are so vicious that they want to frame my Taiyan disciples!"

"Guan Li comes to Taiyan Sect every year. He might have done a lot of bad things, but he just hasn't been held accountable."

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered that my sister lost a pearl hairpin two years ago. It's a bit similar to the one on her head."

"Stop talking!" Guan Li fled with red eyes, and Qi Zhixing was too embarrassed to stay.

After this incident, everyone had a bad impression of Qi Zhixing and Guan Li, and instead sympathized with Yu Heyi, saying that she was a beautiful girl who had suffered a lot of hardship.

After the onlookers dispersed, Qi Shouchu sullenly asked the two parties involved, "Did you know they were going to do this? Why did you act on your own without informing me first?"

Yu Heyi stuck out his tongue and didn't answer.

"What's the point of telling you?" Wanqi Si said lazily.

"You rascal, do you know how worried I am about your junior sister? If the person sent to Zhu You's house today was Ayi, how would I live? Do you know who Zhu You is?"

"I know, you greedy and lustful scoundrel." He lowered his eyes to look at the girl standing beside him. The girl smiled brightly, "You talk as if Yu Heyi is your daughter. Even if anything happens to you, nothing will happen to her."

Qi Shouchu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

He snorted coldly, and took Mi Xiu and several other elders back to Lingquan to end the matter, leaving Yu Heyi and Wanqi Si standing there.

She ignored the other person's presence, walked up the hillside, and sat casually in a patch of fairy grass.

Looking up, the sky is full of stars, the bright moon is hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight is like a waterfall.

The Moon-Watching Cliff in the Demon Realm also offers such a beautiful night view. The Demon Realm is only a long night, and the Moon-Watching Cliff is the best place to enjoy the moon in the Demon Realm. She always brings Qiali and Rose and sits at the Moon-Watching Cliff for the whole day.

At that time, Qiali always said that she was the first demon in the six realms who liked to look at the moon.

The fairyland is different from the demon realm. There are no stars in the demon realm, only a bright moon hanging alone in the sky, while in the fairyland, the stars are twinkling and illuminating the earth.

Wanqi Si followed slowly: "Yu Heyi, do you like looking at the stars?"

"No, I like looking at the moon."

She suddenly remembered her childhood, when she would clumsily climb the hill in the dead of night to gaze at the moon. She had been lonely since childhood, and whenever she was bullied and had nowhere else to turn, she would look up and see night falling, the moonlight gently covering the world.

The moon gave her a feeling of closeness. Even though it was out of reach, it was like a relative, accompanying her quietly and silently.

At that time, she was starving, and it was only by keeping the moon company every night that she had a strong desire to survive.

Faced with the disgust and hatred of others, she endured and lived to this day, and cultivated to become the strongest in both the demon and monster worlds.

Those who despised her now have to bow down before her.

The two of them quietly gazed at the night sky, like two inconspicuous chess pieces in the world, standing on the chessboard of the vast Milky Way.

"Senior Brother, why are you practicing so hard?" Yu Heyi suddenly raised his eyes, and his eyelashes cast tiny shadows on his face.

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Stingy guy, it's not worth asking."

Wanqi Si narrowed his eyes. "Then tell me, why do you go to that old man every day to learn spells? And the spells you learn are all useless."

"When I become a master of spells, when you put a knife to my neck again, I will be able to resist and will no longer be a lamb to be slaughtered."

His knuckles had been tapping unconsciously against the tree trunk, but after hearing her words, the rhythm suddenly broke. He was slightly startled, the corners of his mouth raised high, and a low laugh escaped his throat.

It wasn't as malicious as the sneers of the past, nor as condescending as the sneers of the past, but it was a joy that rose from deep within his chest.

Yu Heyi glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"Your mediocre skills will require a few hundred more years of practice."

"Wanqi Si! If you have time to stare at me every day, you might as well put the sword on Qi Zhixing and Guan Li's necks. I think they are the ones with bad intentions."

He looked at her and suddenly remembered that at the birthday party, she leaned close to his ear and spoke mysteriously.

She said, "Brother, we will split up and meet in the bushes next to the toilet. You will play me and I will play you."

"They are so stupid." He threw down these words and walked away.

She thought that after he left, she could enjoy the moon in peace, but she never expected that Mi Xiu would come right after he left.

"Junior Sister, I've been looking for you for a long time." He was sweating profusely, leaning against the tree trunk and looking around. "Where's Senior Brother?"

"Just left, what's going on?"

"Elder Guan from the Yuquan Sect is here, and Master is asking us to go over quickly."

Back at the birthday party, Wanqi Si held his head in his hands, leaning on a tree branch, and had returned to his previous lazy look.

Qi Shouchu was talking to the old man in front of him.

She pricked up her ears and vaguely heard something.

It seemed that the Yuquan Sect was attacked by a monster. The entire sect was in a panic and had to send people to seek help from various major sects.

She originally wanted to join the Yuquan Sect, but she couldn't find the whereabouts of the Yuquan Sect no matter how hard she tried, so she could only join the Taiyan Sect first. Now that the Yuquan Sect came uninvited, how could she miss it?

Qi Shouchu nodded, turned and walked towards them. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by two different voices.

"No."

"go!"

The two people on the tree and under the tree said in unison.

Wanqi Si raised his eyelids slightly, revealing his undisguised doubt.

Facing his doubts, Yu Heyi blinked and said righteously: "The Yuquan Sect is in need of help. As fellow immortals, we must help them!"

"I remember you were almost framed by the Yuquan Sect disciples just now."

"How can Guan Li's behavior be elevated to the level of Yuquan Sect?"

"You two stop arguing. I've already promised Elder Guan that the leaders of both Taiyan Sect and Yuquan Sect are not in the sect. So the three of you have to go to Yuquan Sect to help. Just consider it as an experience." Qi Shouchu placed his palm between the two of them.

Elder Guan stepped forward, his gaze lingering over the three men, first landing on Wanqi Si: "This is the number one Taiyan swordsman. Wanqi Si, with your help, the crisis of Yuquan Sect will definitely be resolved."

Then he stopped at Yu Heyi and said, "Are you Yu Heyi? I've heard about Guan Li bullying you, and I will punish him severely. I originally wanted her to come to Taiyan first to spend Zhixing's birthday with her, and I would come to Taiyan later to ask for help. I didn't expect my daughter to be so naughty, so please don't bother with her."

Yu Heyi smiled and nodded.

After passing through the mountains, a cliff suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Mi Xiu looked at the thorns climbing up the cliff and asked doubtfully, "Is Yuquan Sect here?"

Elder Guan explained: "Don't worry, everyone. It is well known that Yuquan Sect possesses a unique secret realm. The location must be hidden to prevent others from coveting the secret realm."

The loose gravel was so loose that they walked along it to the back of the cliff, where they found a crack in the rock, so narrow that only one person could pass sideways. When they reached the end of the crack, a stream came into view. The water was clear and the bottom was visible, with no fish or shrimp swimming around.

During the journey, Mi Xiu quietly said, "Yuquan Sect is the weakest among the twelve sects, yet it has taken the third place. Junior Sister, can you guess why?"

"Why?"

"Because Yuquan Sect has a secret realm, all the major sects are scrambling to enter it, and that's why Yuquan Sect has reached this position."

Follow the direction of the stream, climb the mountain at the end, enter the stone cave in the mountain, and finally you will see a valley in front of you.

The valley was shrouded in mist, with cliffs cut like knives on either side. Looking deeper, a large bush swayed in the wind, and behind it stood an attic.

——This is Yuquan Sect.
