Qi Yu composed himself and said, "You don't need to call me Grandmaster Uncle anymore. I was just joking with Yan Shi. I entered the sect later than you, I'm just a bit older in terms of seniority. You can just call me by my name."
"Then, well, actually you don't need to thank me, you should thank Yan Shi, he did more work."
After all, she risked going in because she wanted to gather more information about the Demonic Cult.
Yan Shi truly risked his life to save others, and almost lost his life in the end.
"It's only natural that he saved me!" Zhang Man laughed and patted Yan Shi's shoulder, grinning foolishly, "Right, Brother Yan?"
Yan Shi glanced at the sky, rolled his eyes, and grunted in response.
The other medical practitioners who were also arrested started thanking Qi Yu in a flurry, stuffing her with a bunch of special medicines and telling her to come to their clinic, "Xingxiangyuan," for a check-up whenever she had time, free of charge.
They left together after each of them had thanked them.
Qi Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened the small thatched hut, and came face to face with another figure.
Holy crap!
The man, completely oblivious to the fact that he might be frightening, calmly sat at the table and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaoyu?"
"Why are you appearing and disappearing like a ghost?" Qi Yu couldn't help but glare at Feng Xiao and said, "Didn't you have a place to stay? What are you doing here again?"
Feng Xiao pursed his lips slightly, his obsidian-like eyes looking up at her, and said in a slightly disappointed voice, "I want to stay with Xiao Yu."
Qi Yu: "..." Never mind.
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Lü, who were being held in Qi Yu's arms, wished they could disappear on the spot.
"Cough." Qi Yu silently looked away, resisting Feng Xiao's beauty attack.
"What happened to that Demon Lord named Shen Yan in the end?"
Feng Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, then he smiled faintly and said, "Of course he's dead."
Qi Yu touched his chin, not too surprised by the result.
Overall, the adventure was very rewarding.
They confirmed Burning Heart's identity and learned the difference between ordinary demons and orthodox demons.
It's worth it!
It's a pity that her hairpin, which resembles a spring breeze brushing against a railing, was wasted.
I wonder when Venerable Broken Moon will return...
The two were silent for a moment. Just as Qi Yu put Xiao Hei down, there was a knock on the door.
She stood up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door were the stern-faced Venerable Canglang and Meteor.
Qi Yu glanced at the sky and then pleaded, "My dear senior brother, your junior sister almost died yesterday. Can't you take a day off?"
Xu Canglang said in a tense voice, "Yesterday... I was reinforcing the seal of the forbidden area with the sect leader and failed to see your message in time. It was my fault."
"It was wrong of me to send you on the mission without knowing the situation beforehand."
Xu Canglang took a deep breath and said, "If you want to rest, then rest today. As for the training, if you feel too tired, you can cancel it."
Qi Yu's eyes widened, not expecting to hear such words of weakness from Xu Canglang's mouth, and she was somewhat shocked.
She scratched her head and asked, "Venerable One, what's wrong with you? What triggered this?"
Xu Canglang, who had been racking his brains for half the night to come up with a response, said: "...Then it's up to you."
Qi Yu laughed and said, "I didn't mean to blame you. I'm perfectly fine, but..."
"It would be even better if the training could be canceled!"
She was truly fed up with chopping wood every day. With the sect competition just over four months away, she preferred to go into seclusion and cultivate for a while.
"Whatever you want," Xu Canglang said sternly. "When you encounter danger, remember not to act impulsively. Tell me first before you act."
Qi Yu looked at his awkward expression and was about to speak when a hand touched her back.
The man stood behind her, his eyes dark as he looked at Xu Canglang, and said, "There's no need for you to go to such trouble."
Xu Canglang lowered his eyes and said, "Then I will trouble you, Immortal Venerable."
Feng Xiao grinned, his handsome face half in light and half in shadow, and said softly, "Xiao Yu's matter is my matter, how can it be considered a burden?"
As soon as Qi Yu turned around, Feng Xiao instantly withdrew his wild smile, looking at Qi Yu with a gentle and questioning expression, and said softly, "Xiao Yu, am I wrong?"
Qi Yu looked at him suspiciously, then turned to Xu Canglang and said, "I understand your intention, Senior Brother, and I will remember it."
Xu Canglang nodded and transformed into a streak of light, quickly departing.
Liu Xing was left standing outside the door, looking somewhat awkwardly at Qi Yu, and then at Feng Xiao behind Qi Yu.
"Senior Sister Yu..."
"Oh, right." Seeing the shooting star, Qi Yu remembered the unfortunate Spring Breeze Hairpin and said, "Didn't I say before that I had reserved a room for you here? Yesterday, during the mission, my magic artifact was damaged, so you may have to go back to your previous place."
Upon hearing this, Meteor's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he quickly concealed it, saying, "It's alright, it's good that Senior Sister is alright."
Qi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I may need to go into seclusion to cultivate during this period in preparation for the sect's grand competition."
"Meteor knows," the young boy replied softly, bowing his head.
She looked at the thin, frail meteor and said, "I'd like to introduce you to someone who should be able to better guide your cultivation. Would you be willing?"
Meteor looked up, somewhat flattered, and said, "Senior Sister, who do you want to introduce me to? No, I... I'm willing!"
Qi Yu looked at him and sighed inwardly.
She has signed a master-servant contract with Meteor, so she doesn't need to worry about Meteor doing anything against her orders.
The stronger her teammates are, the more advantageous it will be for her.
It's time to return what she inexplicably took from him.
Qi Yu took out the "Chaotic Spirit Body" from her storage ring, took Liu Xing's hand, and whispered to the book, "Master, I brought you someone. Would you like to meet them?"
A white light flashed across the thin book, sucking in Qi Yu, Liu Xing, and Feng Xiao, who was clinging to Qi Yu.
The vast space was pure white, with only a few books of unknown contents scattered on the ground.
A gray ball of fluff floated over, hesitated for a moment, then looked at the meteor, then at the phoenix flute, and asked in a strange tone, "Disciple, who did you bring for me?"
"Master, are you disappointed because you didn't see the person you wanted to see?" Qi Yu chuckled mischievously and said, "A certain man surnamed Yun was hurt by your last words about him dying. He almost died and is still recovering."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" The gray ball of fur turned away, somewhat embarrassed and angry, but couldn't help but whisper, "What...what happened to him?"
Qi Yu shrugged and said, "Actually, I don't know either. The first time I saw him, he looked like an eight or nine-year-old child, sickly and weak. After he learned the truth last time, he was so heartbroken that he fainted again. When he woke up, he looked even younger."
She clicked her tongue and said, "I wonder what kind of illness this is. His cultivation level is so high, but he looks like he's about to die at any moment."
