Chapter 34 Chapter 34 "The Disturbing Answer"
With a faint bitter smell of medicine lingering in his nose, Ye Yunxi slowly woke up from his drowsiness. What came into his sight was a steaming medicine jar, a bamboo curtain blowing in the wind, and a warm figure in a green robe.
He pressed his brows, sat up from the bamboo couch, and was stunned for a moment before he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be drunk.
Still with his uncle.
He didn't say anything he shouldn't have, did he?
If he accidentally told others about his spiritual practice with Ning Shuangchen...
Ye Yunxi got a headache just thinking about it.
He shouldn't drink.
I know I can't drink much.
Just as I thought of this, I saw the figure in green clothes turned around and asked softly, "Are you awake?"
Ye Yunxi quickly came back to her senses from her daze, nodded with wandering eyes, but she didn't dare to meet his gaze at all.
How about asking?
But I don’t know how to start.
What if his uncle came to ask him about his spiritual practice?
So how should he respond?
But if you don’t ask…
Ye Yunxi was confused for a long time before she pursed her lips and said "hmm", then asked tentatively and weakly: "Master, after I got drunk... I didn't go crazy, did I?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his uncle shook his head and said, "No."
"Then..." Ye Yunxi blinked her eyelashes and hesitated before speaking again: "Did I say anything else?"
This time, his uncle did not reply directly, but just looked at him steadily.
He didn't say anything else, he just kept calling someone's name. As for this person...
Ning Shuangchen is the young leader of the Shuanghua Sect.
Thinking of this name, the uncle's eyes darkened slightly, and he shook his head again, "No."
Ye Yunxi was feeling uneasy because of being stared at. When she saw him shaking his head again, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
no?
He didn't say anything?
Ye Yunxi said "oh", avoided his direct gaze, and slowly exhaled.
Just don't say it.
He had just relaxed when his uncle suddenly changed the subject and said, "But..."
But?
Ye Yunxi immediately became nervous again.
The next moment, he heard his uncle say, "Yunxi's alcohol tolerance seems to have improved. He could only drink fruit wine brewed from spirit fruits before, but now he can also drink peach blossom wine with his uncle."
Seeing that his uncle didn't say anything else, Ye Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief and touched the tip of his nose awkwardly while meeting his gaze.
How could he dare to say that he had even drunk the wedding wine in his hallucination.
The medicine house was facing the direction of Fuyang Peak, the main peak of the Yunlan Sect. As they were talking, a green light flashed across the floating clouds not far away.
They both looked at the same time.
It seemed like someone had come down the mountain.
This was the first time that Ye Yunxi saw someone going down the mountain directly from the main peak after returning to the sect from the secret realm. His intuition told him that something might have happened down the mountain.
But they have only been back for less than a month, what could happen?
Just as he was thinking about it, his uncle suddenly said from behind him: "Go and take a look."
After he turned around, he said meaningfully, "Maybe you'll find the answer you want down the mountain."
Answer?
What answer?
Ye Yunxi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon understood.
These past few days, he came to the medicine house to practice swordplay almost every day. It was impossible for his uncle to not notice his mood, so he said that he was worried when they were drinking.
Will he be able to find the answer that is bothering him once he gets down the mountain?
Once he finds the answer, will he not be so uneasy?
Ye Yunxi pondered for a moment, frowned, raised his eyes and glanced at the figure in green under the bamboo curtain, then turned around, took up his sword, walked out of the medicine room, and headed straight for the main peak.
Fuyang Peak.
In the main hall of Yunlan Sect.
Before entering, Ye Yunxi heard voices coming from inside the hall.
The person who spoke was his father, the leader of the Yunlan Sect. He was unusually serious at the moment, and he carefully warned the disciples in the hall: "We don't know where this monster came from yet, so you must be careful when you go down the mountain. If anything happens, send a message back to the sect immediately."
Senior sister Mu Qinglan, who was standing in the front, said, "Master, rest assured, we will meet up with Senior Brother as soon as we reach Qingzhou."
The other disciples clasped their fists and bowed: "We will obey Master's orders!"
Monster?
Qingzhou?
Ye Yunxi pricked up his ears outside the hall.
Hearing what Senior Sister said, I think the person who just went down the mountain directly from Fuyang Peak was Senior Brother.
No wonder he was so anxious, it turned out that a monster suddenly appeared...
Qingzhou...isn’t it the provincial capital where the Qingxu Secret Realm is located?
Seeing that they were about to leave, Ye Yunxi hurriedly walked in and said, "Dad, Mom, I want to go too!"
Seeing the figure coming in, the leader of the Yunlan Sect immediately softened his expression, but after hearing what he said, he frowned: "Yun'er, why are you here?"
The Sect Master's wife said with a stern face, "Yun'er, don't mess around."
"I'm not kidding." Ye Yunxi said seriously, "I also want to go down the mountain with my brothers and sisters to subdue the monsters and do my part for the Yunlan Sect."
He was telling the truth. Even if his uncle had not said those words to him just now, he would still follow his brothers and sisters down the mountain.
I'm almost bored to death staying in Yunlan Sect all day.
Seeing that his mother still had a cold face, Ye Yunxi waved his arms in front of her and said coquettishly: "Mom, just let me go. This time I will definitely follow my brothers and sisters closely and will definitely not cause any trouble, really!"
He looked at the leader of the Yunlan Sect on the other side and winked, "Dad, let me go."
"If you want to go..." The leader of the Yunlan Sect just said these words, and when he saw his wife's slightly cold face, he immediately stopped talking, cleared his throat, and turned to persuade him softly: "Yun'er, you should listen to your mother and stay in the sect. If you want to practice sword, your father will accompany you. Leave the matter of monsters to your brothers and sisters."
He knew that no matter what he said, his father would always listen to his mother.
Ye Yunxi couldn't help but frown.
Just as he was thinking about how to convince his mother, at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from the door of the main hall.
"Brother, let him go."
Ye Yunxi turned his head and saw that the person coming was his uncle.
He didn't expect that his uncle would come in person, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, he heard his uncle say, "Yunxi is no longer a child. It's time for him to go down the mountain to train."
The leader of the Yunlan Sect nodded in agreement, but after looking at the leader's wife beside him, he frowned and said, "That being said, Yun'er disappeared in the secret realm last time, which really made me feel uneasy."
"But didn't he return safely in the end?" The uncle said as he looked at him, "Moreover, Yunxi's cultivation and swordsmanship also improved a lot because of this."
Ye Yunxi also quickly followed up and said, "Dad, Mom, Yun'er really won't cause any trouble. Give Yun'er a chance to go down the mountain and hone his skills."
His eyes were bright and his face was serious when he said this.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect looked at those eyes. After returning from the secret realm last time, his Yun'er's cultivation had indeed improved. Not only that, he had also been practicing sword very hard in the past half month.
Thinking of this, the leader of the Yunlan Sect turned his head and looked at the person beside him and said, "How about... Madam, let Yun'er go? Just let Yun'er go down the mountain to relax, how about that?"
The Sect Master's wife seemed to be persuaded and relaxed a little, but she still had a cold face and said in a serious tone: "Don't cause trouble for your brothers and sisters."
Knowing that his mother had agreed, Ye Yunxi immediately responded: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, Yun'er won't cause any trouble, nor will he get hurt."
The Sect Master's wife reluctantly hummed, then looked at him and changed the subject: "You can go down the mountain, but your father must go with you."
Ah? Dad is going too?
Ye Yunxi was stunned when he heard this.
As long as I can go down the mountain, it's not impossible...
He thought for a moment, glanced at his uncle on the other side of the main hall, and nodded.
After hearing this, the leader of the Yunlan Sect immediately responded, "Okay, everything will be arranged by Madam."
The plan to go down the mountain was thus decided, and the group immediately set out from Yunlan Sect and headed towards Qingzhou City where the monster appeared.
On the way, Ye Yunxi heard from his senior brother that the monster was most likely escaped from the Qingxu Secret Realm. Only the sound of the monster was heard, but no trace of it was seen, causing panic among the people in Qingzhou City.
No wonder it was just a monster, but it even alarmed their Yunlan Sect. It turned out that it escaped from the Qingxu Secret Realm.
Ye Yunxi stood on the spirit boat, looking at the rolling clouds not far away, his thoughts drifting away unconsciously.
I don’t know if that person will go…
Qingzhou is located at the junction of the immortal path and the demon path. When they arrived, many monks from other sects had already come to the city.
The group stayed at the largest inn in Qingzhou City.
The name of the inn is Xianlai Inn, and the cultivators who stay here are all from various sects, with the Xian Sect being the main one.
Senior Brother Song Xuezhou arrived first. After hearing that their master and junior brother had also arrived, he hurriedly led the other disciples out to greet them.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect walked in front, and Ye Yunxi followed beside him. As they walked into the inn, they looked around, but they did not see the figure in the snow-green robe in the crowd.
That person didn't seem to come down the mountain...
The leader of the Yunlan Sect saw him looking around and asked, "What are you looking at, Yun'er?"
Ye Yunxi quickly came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing, I just took a look."
After saying this, his eyes dimmed slightly and he silently withdrew his gaze, continuing to listen to his senior brother talk about the situation of the monster.
Song Xuezhou said calmly, "I heard from you that among the cultivators who came to catch the monsters this time, in addition to the disciples from other sects, there are also many demon cultivators from Qingzhou City."
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Yunlan Sect frowned slightly: "Demon cultivator?"
Song Xuezhou nodded, and then said: "Some people suspect that it might be the legendary Qing Ni beast, which is why so many demon cultivators suddenly appeared in Qingzhou City."
Ye Yunxi heard this and interrupted, asking curiously, "Green Lion Beast? What is that?"
Song Xuezhou glanced at him and patiently explained, "The Qingni beast is an ancient beast in the Qingxu secret realm. Eight hundred years ago, one appeared. Because a demon cultivator took its bones and refined a magic weapon, it became possessed by the devil and turned into a demon beast."
He paused as he spoke, "I just don't know if the one that appeared in Qingzhou City now is the same one."
After hearing this, Ye Yunxi suddenly said, "So, the Qing Ni beast is originally a spiritual beast?"
Song Xuezhou nodded.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect had a solemn expression on his face, and said thoughtfully: "If it is really the Qingni beast, we must subdue it as soon as possible. We must not let it fall into the hands of the evil cultivators."
They walked along the corridor, and there were monks coming and going in the inn.
But at this moment, Ye Yunxi suddenly stopped.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect took two steps, then saw him stop and turned back to ask, "Yun'er? What's wrong?"
Ye Yunxi raised his eyes and looked carefully, only to see a slender snow-green figure standing on the second floor of the inn.
It was Ning Shuangchen who separated from the secret realm.
From a distance, their eyes met and they stared at each other from a distance.
We haven't seen each other for only half a month, but I feel like we are in a different world.
