Chapter 470 Why her?
As soon as Yu Zhiyi entered the room, Yuan Yajun greeted her and said reproachfully, "Why are you only coming back now? I thought you had deserted at the last minute."
Yu Zhiyi chuckled: "I haven't done anything wrong, why would I desert my post?"
Yuan Yajun raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Yu Zhiyi noticed a few flower petals stuck in her hair and reached out to remove them for her.
This is the scene that You Bingyue saw when she entered the room.
A woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, with delicate, slender hands, gently twirled a pink petal from the hair of a woman with a gentle face. The two smiled at each other, creating a scene of indescribable harmony.
The harmony is almost an eyesore.
She scoffed, "Flattery."
Master Lingyun glanced at her indifferently: "Where is the flattery?"
You Bingyue concealed the disdain in her expression: "The real person should already know who that woman is. She was originally just the adopted daughter of a high-ranking official in the secular world. She gained a wealthy life and the opportunity to cultivate by relying on the official's family. After becoming successful, she forgot about her adoptive parents."
"Now she's venturing into the Hidden Realm all by herself, and she's even managed to get involved with the eldest daughter of the Yuan family. She's really quite capable."
She frowned: "However, anyone who gets close to her never ends up well. I'm considering whether to remind Miss Yuan."
Lingyun Zhenren's gaze gradually turned cold.
This woman doesn't resemble Tianyin at all.
He couldn't understand why she had the aura of Heavenly Sound.
That's right, the reason he kept You Bingyue by his side was because he sensed the aura of the Heavenly Sound Fairy on her.
Although he searched her thoroughly but couldn't find any clues or traces of the Heavenly Sound Fairy's existence, he was willing to be more patient because of that fleeting aura.
However, the more he interacted with her, the deeper his dislike for her became.
He was about to reach his limit.
Yu Zhiyi had been keeping an eye on You Bingyue's movements. When she heard that You Bingyue had spread rumors about her, she was not surprised at all, but she did not rush up to confront her.
After all, it's Miss Yuan's birthday, so we have to give the host some face.
Yu Zhiyi pretended not to hear.
Before long, the banquet began.
Before taking their seats, Yuan Yajun pulled Yu Zhiyi to the front and said with a smile, "Everyone, I originally didn't want to hold a big celebration this year, but to thank someone, I've decided to be more frugal starting next year."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Yu Zhiyi, their gazes filled with scrutiny. They clearly couldn't understand what was so good about her that Miss Yuan would personally introduce her to them.
“This Miss Yu is my benefactor. When I was in Shoushi City, it was thanks to her comforting words that I had the courage and energy to find my sister.”
Yuan Yaying also came over: "Yes, if it weren't for Sister Yu giving me motivation and assistance, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until the rescue arrived."
This is the story they just came up with.
Yu Zhiyi didn't mind being famous, but she didn't want to reveal that she was the one who personally went into the dungeon to save Yuan Yaying.
Therefore, they would introduce her in this way without posing any safety risks to her.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Few people who come here don't know that Miss Yuan has a benefactor, and everyone is speculating about the identity of this benefactor.
After Master Lingyun's visit, everyone speculated that the benefactor might be Master Lingyun himself.
Unexpectedly, the benefactor turned out to be such an unknown girl.
Although she was beautiful and had a refined air, there were so many handsome men and beautiful women in the hidden realm, and plenty of them had good temperaments.
Why is it that this person can win Miss Yuan's favor?
They say her appearance gave Miss Yuan courage.
But she didn't do anything!
If it was she who rescued the second young lady, everyone could accept it.
But she only played a role of companionship, which makes it difficult to evaluate.
Yuan Yajun coldly observed the crowd's reactions and said indifferently, "Miss Yu is the benefactor of my sister and me. I hope everyone can show her some respect. If I find out that anyone has disrespected her, don't blame me for turning my back on them."
After the Yuan family head emerged from seclusion, Yuan Yajun's confidence clearly increased significantly.
After the previous incident, the Yuan family head carried out a major purge of the family.
Those who remain are loyal to the father and daughter.
Now that Yuan Yajun has secured her position as the next head of the family, naturally no one dares to be so foolish as to displease her.
Yu Zhiyi felt a sense of novelty as she experienced being the center of attention.
In the crowd, You Bingyue almost gritted her teeth to pieces.
Why that woman?!
Why should I?!
Speaking of gratitude, even if we don't thank You Bingyue, we should at least thank Master Lingyun for safely returning the two sisters to the Yuan family, right?
Yu Zhiyi only accompanied her for a while, yet she's being singled out for discussion?
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her thoughts.
After introducing Yu Zhiyi, Yuan Yajun led her to sit down at a table belonging to the core circle of the Yuan family.
Thanks to Yu Zhiyi, the fifth senior brother also got to sit at the main table.
The Yuan family's defenses were extremely tight, and they were even more determined not to allow the slightest mistake on their eldest daughter's birthday.
So apart from the ripples caused when Yu Zhiyi was introduced to everyone, the banquet proceeded without any other major incidents.
After the birthday banquet, Yu Zhiyi did not linger and rushed back to Tianji Sect with her fifth senior brother.
Her two major enemies have been dealt with. If the Taixu Sect doesn't want to lose its prestige as one of the four major powers, it certainly won't resort to secretly killing mortals.
The Gao family was placed under a restriction by their master, and they would never have the slightest thought of causing trouble in the mortal world. If they wanted to take revenge on Yu Zhiyi, no matter what method they used, anyone who harbored such thoughts would suffer the excruciating pain of having their heart devoured by a thousand ants.
Master's lifespan problem has also been solved. With a lifespan of five hundred years, even if Yu Zhiyi breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, she may not necessarily live longer than her master.
After all, she was just a mediocre talent with three spiritual roots, and couldn't compare to a genius like her master with a single spiritual root.
Her master had barely broken through to the very end, so she was even less likely to harbor any unrealistic hopes.
"You want to return to the mortal world?" Hongchan Zhenren asked, somewhat surprised.
Yu Zhiyi nodded: "I've been out long enough. When I left, I promised my family that I would go back to be with them once all the troubles were resolved."
"Besides, I am now an official of the Sheng Kingdom, and my fate is closely tied to that of the Great Sheng Empire. This matter must be resolved before I can return to my cultivation with peace of mind."
After a moment of contemplation, Hongchan Zhenren said in a deep voice, "Traveling between two places is too tiring, and your family staying in the mortal world could easily become your weakness. If possible, you should bring them here."
The Tianji Sect does not advocate severing ties of affection and love, nor does it force its disciples to cut off kinship with their families.
Therefore, ordinary people can indeed become a burden to one's beloved disciple.
If anyone retaliates against her, those people will be the perfect targets.
