"Auntie!"

Yan Ying's door was not closed. There was a table facing the door, which was filled with wine and food.

"You're here, why are you so slow..." Yan Ying raised her head while sitting at the table, but met Cen Ji's eyes.

"Cen Ji, you're back. I thought you were not in the sect, so I didn't call you." Yan Ying saw Cen Ji stand up. She didn't expect Cen Ji to come with Wu Bai.

"Since you are here, please sit down." Ye Chenge said as he sat next to Yan Ying.

She had been at Yuankun Peak today, helping Xiao Zangbao prepare the meal. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Xiao Zangbao's cooking skills were so good.

"Okay." Wu Bai sat down happily.

Cen Ji stood straight at the door without moving.

Looking at Cen Ji's expression, Yan Ying knew that this guy must be narrow-minded. He was annoyed that she didn't call him.

"Cen Ji, why don't you sit down?" Yan Ying said to Cen Ji with a smile.

"It's not good for me to come here uninvited. Will it disturb you?" Cen Ji blinked and said pretentiously.

"Stop pretending and come in." Yan Ying smiled and walked around the table, pulling Cen Ji into the room and making him sit down. "You're back just in time."

After everyone was seated, Yan Ying cleared her throat and spoke. "Today is a good day. You two have entered the inner gate. It's worth celebrating! Come, let's have a drink first!"

Ye Chenge brought a few jars of apricot wine that she brewed herself.

"What kind of wine is this? It smells so good!" Wu Bai closed his eyes and savored the aroma of the wine.

"Of course the wine brewed by my sister is delicious." Yan Ying smiled. She also liked the wine brewed by her sister.

"There's one more thing. I called you all here today to say goodbye to everyone. I'm going down the mountain with Master to catch monsters tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be back."

"Aunt, are you leaving? I just entered the inner gate and you want to go down the mountain..." Wu Bai looked at Yan Ying aggrievedly. He still thought that he could come to see her anytime after entering the inner gate.

"Let's go down the mountain and broaden our horizons. Maybe we'll be back in a few days." Yan Ying didn't want to leave either, but the plot didn't allow it.

"Cen Ji, Master and your sister will be coming with us, as well as my Master and Senior Brother. With so many of us, we won't be in danger."

"I know, I didn't say I was worried. What do you want to explain to me?" Cen Ji said softly.

He hadn't said anything yet, so why did this brat think he would worry about her?

"I'm afraid you'll worry about your sister, so I'm telling you there's no danger. I want you to feel at ease." Yan Ying raised her eyebrows.

He needn't worry, there is definitely danger, and the one in danger is his sister.

Cen Ji nodded without saying anything.

This kid is quite self-aware.

"The food is cold, let's eat it while it's hot. I have to try Xiao Zangbao's cooking skills." Ye Chenge picked up the chopsticks impatiently.

"Are these all made by my aunt?" Wu Bai looked at the beautifully presented dishes on the table in disbelief.

"Yes, it tastes good. This fish is delicious. Come and try it." Ye Chenge pointed to the fish she had just eaten.

Cen Ji also picked up the chopsticks. He knew that Yan Ying was a good cook and he hadn't tasted her cooking for a long time.

......

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Wu Bai volunteered to wash all the plates and bowls.

Ye Chenge and Wu Bai gave Yan Ying a few instructions and then left.

Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji who was still sitting in her room and walked over with a smile.

"Cen Ji...Junior Brother, now that you've entered the inner sect, you can legitimately call me Senior Sister."

Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying with amusement. She seemed to like taking advantage of him, but he didn't want to do what she said.

"Why aren't you talking? By the way, why didn't you participate in the competition today?" Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji and asked.

She didn't remember the original text describing Cen Ji during this period in detail. In the original text, he was just an outer disciple with damaged spiritual roots.

The Cen Ji in front of her at this moment was completely different from the one in the book. His spiritual roots had recovered, he passed the selection and entered the inner sect, and his attitude towards her had also improved.

She really wanted to know where he had been during that month.

"I was delayed by something." Cen Ji said casually.

"Is that so..." Yan Ying scratched her head. She knew Cen Ji wouldn't say anything. "I have a treasure for you!"

Yan Ying took out two bronze rings with two black gemstones inlaid on them.

"Here!" Yan Ying handed one of them to Cen Ji. "This is a sound transmission ring. It can transmit messages over a distance of thousands of miles. It's an eighth-level spiritual weapon. How about I treat you well?"

Cen Ji took the sound transmission ring and casually put it on his thumb. It fit perfectly.

"Why are you giving me this..." Cen Ji chuckled as he looked at the ring in Yan Ying's hand.

There are only two sound transmission rings, and these rings can only transmit her words.

"I'm about to go down the mountain, right? I can contact you by wearing this ring. I...I can talk to you when I miss you. Isn't that nice?" Yan Ying explained.

This spiritual weapon was found in the Qiankun bag Ning Hai gave her. Cen Ji was busy with something all day long, and she might be able to understand his movements by using this ring.

"Then I'll accept it." Cen Ji said with a smile.

He was planning to secretly follow them down the mountain. This ring... might really be useful.

"When the time comes, if you encounter danger, I can come over and save your life." He was worried that he would have no reason to show up if he followed them to Fuzhou, but now he had a reason.

"Then forget it. I don't want to be in danger." Yan Ying cursed in her heart. Cen Ji was really outspoken. Wasn't he cursing her? Her life was precious.

As Yan Ying spoke, she took off the stone from the sound transmission ring, tied a rope to it and wore it around her neck.

The sound transmission ring relies on this sound transmission stone to transmit sound. The ring looks too ugly, but the sound transmission stone has a hole for tying a rope.

Cen Ji looked at the ring on his hand, then looked at the stone on Yan Ying's neck with disgust.

"Be careful when you go down the mountain and rest early." Cen Ji disappeared before he finished speaking.

"There are so many Thousand Mile Talismans. You don't even take a few steps." Yan Ying shook her head as she looked at the chair where Cen Ji had sat.

Yuankun Peak is right next to Mengyuan Peak. It takes less than an incense stick of time to reach the disciples' residence at Mengyuan Peak by taking a shortcut.

[System: Host, there is something wrong with silence.]

"What's the problem?" Yan Ying lay down on the bed and looked at the sound stone.

[System: The stone that Cen Ji gave you yesterday starts at fifty. Where did he get so many spirit stones?]

"Doesn't he know how to draw talismans? It's normal for him to earn a few spirit stones. Fifty... He must have been saving for a long time."

Yan Ying felt that she should be nicer to Cen Ji in the future. Poor Cen Ji had a hard time earning spirit stones, and he was still thinking about her.
