Chapter 345 Nuan'er Regrets It
Yu Zhiyi was much faster when she acted alone. Even Jiang Yuwei, the leader of the martial arts alliance, and Jiang Yuchuan, a famous master in the martial arts world, were no match for her when it came to speed.
Before dawn, she returned to the Martial Alliance, looking relaxed.
This trip wasn't particularly thrilling, but the experience was quite rewarding.
She carefully observed the young master's face. He was truly a pure and simple vengeful person. Even at this point, she still didn't know why he had gone through all this.
However, he wasn't completely stupid. He had long realized that his father didn't love him, and he even witnessed Ji Guangdai and Chen Ruolan having a secret rendezvous, realizing that Chen Ruolan was the one his father truly loved.
Even the worst bamboo produces the best shoots. Although this child's appearance is still developing, it's clear he's a kind person. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to become a renowned hero in the future.
Ji Guangdai's room was actually set up with a small spirit-gathering array. The energy used to set up the array was not ordinary jade, but spirit stones.
No one knows how many evil cultivators this person has deceived, but he has several times more spirit stones than the previous evil cultivators.
That evil cultivator only had two pieces, while Ji Guangdai had a full twelve.
Fortunately, this person was not very strong, and although the spirit gathering array had been set up for a while, it had not consumed much of the spiritual power in the spirit stones.
All of these things made things convenient for Yu Zhiyi.
When they returned to the Martial Alliance, it was already dawn. Yu Zhiyi placed all the spirit stones on the table.
Including the two spirit stones from the evil cultivator, she now has a total of fourteen spirit stones.
Six of them were used by Ji Guangdai to set up the spirit-gathering array. Their color was slightly darker than the other spirit stones, but the spiritual energy content inside was still quite considerable and very pure.
After thinking for a moment, she wrote a note that she needed to rest and posted it on the door. She also set up a small defensive array at the door and then sat cross-legged to cultivate.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had absorbed spiritual energy from a spirit stone, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
And the spirit stone did not disappoint her.
The spiritual energy inside is not only pure, but also incredibly abundant.
With just a single spirit stone that had already been used, she was able to break through the barrier of the mid-Foundation Establishment Realm!
Feeling the surging power within her, even though she was not one to be brave, Yu Zhiyi was extremely happy.
No one can resist absolute power.
If so, it means he has definitely never experienced such a wonderful taste.
She glanced at the sky outside and saw that it was already bright daylight. Not wanting her parents to worry, she decided to go out and show herself first, and then continue absorbing the nutrients when she returned.
As soon as the door opened, Li Rou came to greet her: "Miss, I'll go get you some water to wash your face. You can eat right away after you wash up."
Yu Zhiyi glanced at the sun, which had just reached its zenith: "Is it already noon?"
Li Rou said, "Yes, Miss has been sleeping for quite a long time. Madam just came by and said not to wake you."
Yu Zhiyi nodded.
My father must have told my mother what happened last night. They probably thought that she used the Heavenly Thunder Talisman to break the formation, which would consume too much spiritual power. But in fact, the spiritual power consumed by using the Heavenly Thunder Talisman is less than that consumed by drawing the Bird Control Talisman.
While Yu Zhiyi was washing up, Li Rou brought over the dishes.
She waited by Yu Zhiyi's side while Yu Zhiyi ate, and only after Yu Zhiyi put down her chopsticks did she say, "The second young master just came by and asked if you wanted to go to the city to buy clothes?"
Although they had prepared a lot of clothes and jewelry for Yu Zhiyi in recent days, she had been wandering outside for more than ten years, and they always felt that no matter how much they prepared, it was not enough.
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "I have enough clothes. I'm alone, and I can't wear that many."
Li Rou said, "The second young master said that those clothes are more than half a month old, and tomorrow is the start of the Earth Ranking Tournament, so we should get some new clothes."
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
Is this how you define whether clothes are new or not?
Shouldn't we check whether she's wearing anything or not?
Her lips twitched, and she shook her head: "No need, I'm going into seclusion this afternoon."
She remembered something: "Haven't the Marquis of Wu'an's heir and the others returned yet?"
Li Rou paused slightly, then shook her head: "No. No news has come back either."
Yu Zhiyi frowned.
She had observed the faces of the Marquis of Wu'an's son and his entourage and was quite certain that he would not encounter any danger while investigating Juxianzhuang, and the probability of him even getting injured was very small.
Logically, they should be back soon.
But they've been gone for over ten days.
If Ji Guangdai was still alive before, it would be understandable that they hadn't returned for a while because they were searching for evidence of Ji Guangdai's crimes.
But Ji Guangdai is dead, and they still haven't returned, which is very problematic.
Li Rou asked with a worried look, "Miss, they should be alright, right?"
This was clearly not the time for jokes, so Yu Zhiyi didn't tease her that she had finally started to show concern for the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an. Instead, she took out three copper coins.
As she moved her fingers, the copper coins danced on her fingertips.
A short while later, she looked at the result displayed on the copper coin and frowned: "Tired?"
Li Rou hurriedly asked, "Miss, what happened?"
Yu Zhiyi said, "The divination indicates that they are trapped, but they are not in any immediate danger."
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an and others are all top-notch experts.
If martial arts and immortal cultivation were divided into nine major realms, then top masters like Jiang Yuchuan would be at the ninth realm, while the Marquis of Wu'an and others would be at the fifth or sixth realm.
While not quite top-tier, their strength is still considerable.
The only things that could trap them, besides being experts stronger than them, are formations or natural forces.
Regardless of the reason, they clearly cannot get out on their own.
Yu Zhiyi had no choice but to temporarily abandon her plan to continue absorbing spirit stones and decided to find the person first.
After all, they were the people she trained; she couldn't expect them to come in upright and leave horizontally.
"I'll go and bring them back, so you don't need to go."
Although Li Rou was very worried, she knew she couldn't help, so she could only nod.
Yu Zhiyi told her to stay in the courtyard, while she planned to go and report to Xiao Qingxuan, so that her mother wouldn't worry if she found out that she had sneaked out again.
She was startled as soon as she stepped outside.
A person was seen shivering in the cool spring breeze.
Upon seeing Yu Zhiyi emerge, the man knelt down with a thud: "Miss!"
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow: "Nuan'er? What's this?"
Nuan'er kowtowed and pleaded, "Miss, it was my fault. I was bewitched and deceived by Miss Chen's few words into betraying you."
She went to Chen Xinyue hoping for a better future.
As a result, she had barely become Chen Xinyue's person, and before she could even show off her power, Chen Xinyue was placed under house arrest.
Even with the upcoming Local Ranking Conference, Chen Xinyue was not released.
The people below were whispering among themselves, saying that Chen Xinyue was finished and that Leader Jiang had decided to abandon his niece.
Nuan'er became anxious as soon as she heard this.
