Before Ye Xianya could speak, it added, "I'm not afraid of trouble, but I'm worried... worried that we can't beat them!"
It's not a coward, but it doesn't want to die either.
It survived for thirteen years without anyone protecting it and was not subdued. This was not only because it guarded the Vermilion Fruit Tree and its strength increased rapidly, but also because it was very careful and cautious.
If the enemy is stronger than her, Zhengzheng is willing to fight head-on. But if the opponent is too powerful, she must temporarily avoid confrontation.
"You little rascal, you're quite cautious!" Ye Xianya reached out and picked it up, placing it on her shoulder. She said softly, "Don't worry, I killed those two just now by using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform into spiritual fire, completely destroying their bodies and souls. Even if the abbot of Biyun Temple came in person, he wouldn't be able to find any useful clues for a while."
Ye Xianya smiled as she spoke: "Do you think all cultivators in the world can calculate as meticulously as I can? Not to mention them, even if the Taiyi Sect came, they couldn't do it."
"Have I told you that I am actually exceptionally gifted? My fortune-telling is different from others. As long as I use mystical arts, I can clearly see those scenes of the past and future with unparalleled accuracy. The mystical arts masters of the Taiyi Sect cannot do that, and naturally, they cannot predict as accurately as I can."
Zhengzheng looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.
My sister hadn't told it before.
"Sister is so amazing!" Zhengzheng quickly flattered.
"Let's go, let's go to the cellar first, release the girls locked up inside, and then I'll set this little courtyard on fire."
Ye Xianya held Zhengzheng in her hands and smiled, "Don't worry, I've already calculated it. The abbess of Biyun Temple is in seclusion. By the time she discovers that her daughter and her favorite disciple are dead and comes out to search, it will be too late. It will be at least several months before she finds us."
"By then, my sister and I will definitely be much stronger than we are now, and we won't be afraid of her at all!" Zhengzheng said with a smile.
“Not bad!” Ye Xianya nodded.
“But sister, I heard you say before that the cultivators of the ten major Taoist sects, especially the more important disciples within their sects, all have jade tablets of life and death. Once they die, the jade tablets will crack. The abbess of Biyun Temple should be able to find out her daughter is dead very soon, right?” Zhengzheng said cautiously, “Sister, can we stop her if we join forces?”
Ye Xianya laughed upon hearing this: "You little rascal, you're really smart. No matter what I say, you remember it all clearly. You're not easy to fool."
Upon hearing this, Zhengzheng wanted to cry but had no tears.
My sister seems like a very serious person, so why does she always like to fool me?
Could it be because it's too cute?
"Don't worry, Qingzhu and Fu'er came out to change their faces without the abbot of Biyun Temple's knowledge. Qingzhu absorbs the essence and blood of cultivators to nourish the Silk-Pulling Gu King. Her mother is unaware of this. This small courtyard was occupied by the two sisters more than two months ago. The people of Biyun Temple do not know that they live here, so... we still have time to improve our strength and prepare for the great enemy."
Ye Xianya smiled as she spoke: "I've calculated it. Of the ten sect leaders, Xie Peng from Yunxiao Palace is the weakest. The others are all quite good, especially the abbots of Xuantian Temple and Biyun Temple. It would be a bit difficult for us to fight one of them right now. Let's go back and improve our strength first, especially you. Once you've absorbed the power of the Thread-Pulling Gu King, you won't have to be afraid of that woman from Biyun Temple anymore."
Upon hearing this, Zhengzheng felt much more at ease: "Don't worry, sister, I'll go back and work hard to improve my strength."
"You don't need to worry too much. If that woman finds us in a few days, I'm confident I can kill her, though it will come at a price. Although my strength is much weaker than in my previous life, I'm still not someone these people can bully," Ye Xianya said calmly.
"Sister is the best!" Zhengzheng landed on Ye Xianya's shoulder and said with a smile, "Sister, you rest first, I'll go to the dungeon and release those girls."
Ye Xianya almost laughed when she heard this.
This little guy really knows how to please people.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the courtyard gate, and I'll remove those small formations outside while I'm at it." After saying that, Ye Xianya gently rubbed Zhengzheng's head and walked out.
Zhengzheng quickly flapped her little wings and flew towards the dungeon.
Following Ye Xianya's instructions, Aunt Cao and the others dared not approach the courtyard until Ye Xianyang removed the formation and came out, at which point they ran over from a short distance away.
"Miss Ye, is our child inside?"
Are they alright?
"Miss Ye..."
Everyone started asking questions all at once.
"Don't worry, the person is inside and will be out soon," Ye Xianya quickly reassured them.
Not long after, Hong'er and the others ran out of the courtyard; all six girls were there.
Those who had been locked in the dungeon before looked quite disheveled and pale because they hadn't had enough to eat and hadn't washed themselves for several days. However, they had no injuries and were not in any danger of losing their lives.
"Gentlemen, the person has been found. Let's head back to the capital," Ye Xianya said softly.
"Thank you, Miss Ye." The group quickly expressed their gratitude and walked back along the path they had come from.
They hadn't gone far when Ye Xianya used her magic to set the small courtyard ablaze.
On the way back, she cast several more spells, altering everyone's memories.
From this day forward, Aunt Cao and the others will no longer remember this farmhouse. They will only remember that a group of girls went out together and accidentally entered a cave. They couldn't find their way back, and it was Ye Xianya who helped them find their child.
...
In the secret chamber of Biyun Temple, where the life and death tablets of everyone were kept, the disciple on duty looked at the two jade pendants that suddenly shattered with a look of horror in his eyes. He hurriedly pushed open the door, stumbled out, and reported the incident.
Not long after, Fang Yuzhen, the abbot of Biyun Temple, who was in seclusion for cultivation, was interrupted from her practice.
"Master, Qingzhu and Fu'er's life and death jade tablets are broken!" the female disciple standing outside the secret room reported in a trembling voice.
Fang Yuzhen was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this. After a moment, she suddenly stood up and hurriedly ran outside.
When she confirmed that the life and death jade tablets of her daughter Fang Qingzhu and her closed-door disciple Ye Fu'er were broken, she trembled violently but could not utter a single word.
The pain in her heart was almost overwhelming her.
"Where have Qingzhu and Fu'er been lately?" Fang Yuzhen asked, sitting slumped on the ground for a while, clutching the broken jade pendant.
Her voice was trembling and hoarse from grief.
"Reporting to the Abbot, the two junior sisters left Biyun Temple more than two months ago. They said they were going out to gain experience and cultivate, but they did not tell me their destination," the female disciple reported in a trembling voice.
