Qiyue looked at him, then glanced at Feng Qi and the others heading towards Li Niang's house: "Why? What else could it be? Naturally, it's because the Fengyun Sect has run out of options."
Her smile was deep, and Yuan Zhi narrowed his eyes.
No wonder these people, despite looking down on them, still pretended to be polite. It turns out that it involved the very foundation of the Fengyun Sect, leaving these people with no other choice.
Just as Qiyue had planned, the Fengyun Sect returned empty-handed. The master and disciple stayed in Yecheng for a full ten days before Qiyue went to find Li Niang.
Speaking of that day, Li Niang was extremely grateful to Qi Yue.
"If it weren't for you, senior, my mother and I would have been dead the day the Grand Elder of the Fengyun Sect came to our door. Thank you for saving our lives, senior."
Li Niang is a smart person and also a grateful person.
Because of this incident, she worked even harder to help Qiyue find the other three divine artifacts.
The second artifact was in a village. When Qiyue arrived at the village, her expression was somewhat strange.
The quiet village seemed to be buried under a thick layer of yellow earth, and it was dark. Entering it felt like being immersed in another world.
Yuan Zhi felt something was off and tightly protected Qi Yue behind him: "Master, don't you feel that something is very wrong here?"
Something's not right. It's like being caught in a time warp and entering another world.
Yuan Zhi was stunned. What was this spacetime turbulence?
Qiyue's gaze grew increasingly profound; this was the first time she truly felt that this was a world within a book.
“There’s no sign of human presence here,” Li Niang said, frowning.
Qi Yue said in a deep voice, "It's not just that there's no human presence here; there are evil spirits everywhere."
Li Niang was somewhat surprised. She hadn't explained clearly earlier because she was afraid of frightening her, but how did she know? Oh, right, she's a cultivator.
However strange it may be, it's not a problem for Qiyue. She possesses thunder magic and talismans, so these are nothing to her.
The artifact was quickly obtained, but when Qiyue went outside, she encountered someone.
It is Shangguan Fu.
The two looked at each other from a distance. Qiyue didn't know what to say, so she just called out, "Fourth Senior Brother."
Shangguan Fu felt a lump in his throat. It had been a long time since he last saw his junior sister. Her cultivation had improved a lot, her face had lost its childishness, and her temperament had become much more calm and indifferent.
The carefree joy of the past is gone.
Although his junior sister's departure had little to do with him, he still felt a pang in his heart: "Junior sister, it's been a long time."
He didn't ask her why she left so suddenly, nor did he ask if she never planned to go back. He just smiled and greeted her, "Long time no see."
Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief; she was really afraid her fourth senior brother would ask.
"Why would Fourth Senior Brother come here?" She immediately changed the subject.
Shangguan Fu said bluntly, "When the Li family in Yecheng had an accident, the people from Fengyun Sect returned empty-handed. I always felt that it was related to you, Junior Sister, so I went there to look for you. After asking many people, I learned that you had left. Your Five Thunder Talisman has a special aura, so I think it won't be difficult for me to find you."
He said everything he should and shouldn't have said.
July understood as well.
He simply said, "I have my own things to do, and I won't be going back."
Even though he didn't ask, those words still reached his ears. Shangguan Fu asked, "Because of Senior Brother?"
Qiyue glanced at Yuanzhi, who understood and led Liniang away. Qiyue then casually set up a barrier.
He said, "It has nothing to do with my senior brother. It's all my own business. I don't want to stay in the sect forever. Besides, I really have my own things to do."
I want to go back. I don't want to force anyone anymore; I just want to be okay on my own.
The disappointment made Shangguan Fu pause, and he blurted out his words of pleas to stay almost without thinking.
"Junior Sister! No! Don't go!"
Qiyue looked up at him, but didn't notice anything wrong: "Don't worry, senior brother, I'll be fine. I'll take good care of myself."
Shangguan Fu couldn't take it anymore: "We all know about what happened a year ago. Senior Brother didn't do it on purpose. He might have wanted to avoid you, but he doesn't hate you. None of us hate you. You are the most important person in all of our hearts. He just didn't want to take the pills."
July fell silent.
Ultimately, the fact remains that they're avoiding me.
She smiled brightly: "Fourth Senior Brother, I will not let you take pills anymore. It was all my fault in the past. I did not respect your wishes."
She made it clear she didn't want to talk about it anymore, and Shangguan Fu didn't know how to explain it either. He felt that the more he explained, the more complicated things became, and there was a sense that the situation was beyond repair.
After much thought, he concluded that the one who tied the knot must untie it.
But Qiyue seemed to have seen through her fourth senior brother's thoughts long ago: "Fourth senior brother, I don't want you to tell others where I am."
Shangguan Fu looked stunned: "Not even Third Senior Sister?"
After he finished speaking, he continued, "You don't know that when Third Senior Sister found out you were wronged, she almost got into a fight with Eldest Senior Brother. If it weren't for Master..."
"Third Senior Sister is fine." Qi Yue waved her hand, and Shangguan Fu's eyes lit up: "And Master and the other fellow disciples, you don't know how many of us came out to look for you after you left that day. You can't even imagine how important you are to us."
"Junior Sister, give Senior Brother a chance to explain."
He spoke almost pleadingly. Qiyue couldn't bear to see the person she cared about so humble. She had no choice but to nod in the end.
"Whatever makes you happy."
Anyway, I'm going back no matter what. Even if I can't, I'll have my own world from now on.
However, now that our senior brothers and sisters are coming, it's not advisable to rush the search for the divine artifact. With so many people around, it's bound to attract attention.
Shangguan Fu's eyes lit up, and overjoyed, he blurted out without thinking, "Junior Sister, what are you looking for...?"
He suddenly froze halfway through his sentence, and then slapped himself.
Damn it! How could he have said that?
Qiyue was also stunned. She looked at Shangguan Fu in disbelief: "Fourth Senior Brother, what did you just say?"
Shangguan Fu panicked, afraid that his junior sister would notice something was amiss, and hurriedly asked, "What did I just say, junior sister, how are you going to go back?"
"..." Qiyue remained silent.
He stared at Shangguan Fu, making Shangguan Fu's scalp tingle. He immediately turned his head away and said, "Um? I'll pass on a message to them."
Qiyue remained silent, simply withdrawing the barrier without making a sound.
Thinking back to when I was in the lower realm, I noticed how much my master, senior brothers, and sisters had changed.
She now seriously doubts that they can hear her thoughts.
It's easy to verify.
She stood next to Shangguan Fu.
I remember there's a secret realm here that's about to open, and no one knows about it yet. There's something I desperately need inside. How can I tell my fourth senior brother that I want to go check it out by myself?
Ugh, this is so annoying...
Shangguan Fu paused, his gaze shifting.
