Chapter 472 Cold-hearted
Yu Zhiyi returned to the Great Sheng Empire with a large quantity of hidden realm specialties.
After the Gao family's problem was resolved, the master sent the eldest brother to the mortal world to inform the Jiang family that they no longer needed to wander outside.
So when Yu Zhiyi returned to Mingshan, everyone was there except for Jiang Liuyi, who was out on business.
"Jin'er!" Xiao Qingxuan rushed over, hugged Yu Zhiyi tightly, and cried tears of joy.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, Mother." Yu Zhiyi gently patted the woman's back, comforting her softly.
No matter how she tried to comfort her, Xiao Qingxuan couldn't stop crying.
Auntie couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward, patting Xiao Qingxuan's back and scolding her, "Look what you're doing! The child has finally come back safe and sound, and instead of being happy, you're making the child worry for no reason."
Xiao Qingxuan quickly wiped away her tears: "I'm sorry, Jin'er, I was just too worried."
God knows how she got through that time.
She has nightmares every day, all kinds of nightmares.
In her dream, Yu Zhiyi experienced various difficulties. Although the ending wasn't tragic, just watching those difficulties made her feel suffocated.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have cried so bitterly.
The group went up Ming Mountain.
Someone had already informed Jiang Liuyi.
Jiang Liuyi rushed over, his usually neatly combed hair now somewhat disheveled, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
The moment he saw Yu Zhiyi, his eyes lit up: "Little sister!"
Yu Zhiyi smiled brightly: "Brother."
Jiang Liuyun said sourly, "My sister wasn't this happy when she saw me."
The family was amused by his brilliant stroke and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After a while of laughter and joking, Jiang Yuchuan's expression turned serious: "Yi'er, how have you been these past few days? Have you been injured? Has anyone been bullying you in the Hidden Realm?"
Yu Zhiyi gave a general account of what happened in the hidden realm, deliberately omitting the parts about being injured and ambushed, so as not to worry her family.
Despite her concise approach, people could still sense the hardship she was going through between the lines.
The scene where she negotiated with Master Lingyun, who was two realms above her, made everyone hold their breath.
There are two major realms, where the opponent can kill her with just a wave of their hand.
To be able to survive in the hands of such a person, and even force them to give up their pursuit of her and their accountability for Qingfeng Zhenren's death.
What courage and boldness this is!
Yu Zhiyi asked, "And you guys? Has no one been bothering you lately?"
The Jiang family members exchanged glances, instinctively wanting to report only good news and not bad.
How could Yu Zhiyi not see their dilemma?
She raised an eyebrow and said, "I've already told you about all the dangerous things that happened in the hidden realm. If you're hiding anything from me, then I won't say anything more in the future."
Jiang Yuchuan was the first to compromise.
"What we've encountered is nothing compared to what you've experienced, so there's no need to talk about it."
The Jiang family members all left Mingshan, leaving the mountain unguarded for a long time. This strange phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of martial arts practitioners.
When the Jiang family occasionally ran into acquaintances, those people would make sarcastic remarks, wondering if the Jiang family had offended some particularly powerful enemy or the imperial court and was about to be punished.
There were no physical injuries, but I encountered a lot of verbal abuse.
Moreover, life away from home is not easy, mainly because it is too mentally agonizing.
The people weren't exactly lying; they really hadn't encountered anything serious.
The only one who could be considered to be struggling was Zi Yuan.
That's right, Zi Yuan also came to Mingshan.
When Jiang Liuyun found her, she was being attacked by a group of bandits. If Jiang Liuyun hadn't arrived in time, she would have been violated by those bastards.
Although she preserved her innocence, Zi Yuan suffered serious injuries and has been recuperating for over a month, but her wounds have not improved, and she is very weak.
Yu Zhiyi stood up jokingly: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Jiang Liuyun said, "It was Sister Ziyuan who said she didn't want you to worry and told us not to tell you."
"But I thought, sister, you wouldn't want to be deceived..."
Yu Zhiyi said, "Lead the way."
Jiang Liuyun walked ahead dejectedly.
Zi Yuan was assigned to Willow Garden, where Yu Zhiyi had previously lived.
As soon as Yu Zhiyi pushed open the door, she saw the frail girl.
"Miss?"
It had been almost a year since I last saw her. The girl had lost weight and gotten darker, but her expression had become more determined.
But the moment she saw Yu Zhiyi, all her determination and strength vanished. She was both excited and a little guilty.
Yu Zhiyi chuckled as she looked at the girl's evasive gaze: "Didn't you say you didn't want to tell me? Why are you so happy to see me?"
Zi Yuan stuck out her tongue: "I didn't want Miss to worry, did I? Besides, I'm actually fine. It's just that Master, Madam, and the young master and young lady are too nervous. I could have gotten out of bed a long time ago!"
As if to prove that what she said was true, Zi Yuan lifted the covers and prepared to get out of bed.
"If you don't want to become a cripple, then lie back down!" Yu Zhiyi rarely lost her temper.
Ziyuan timidly covered herself with the blanket and said obediently, "I'm really fine, Miss, please don't be angry."
Yu Zhiyi sneered: "Your leg was broken, and someone deliberately set the bones in the wrong place, and you're still fine?"
The Jiang family members were all taken aback: "What? Deliberately misconnected?"
Aunt swayed, her face turning deathly pale: "How could this be?"
She was the one who found the doctor, and if that person really did deliberately ruin someone's leg, then she would be held responsible.
The moment Yu Zhiyi saw Zi Yuan, she subconsciously checked her fate line, naturally knowing that her aunt was innocent.
"It has nothing to do with you. It's someone with ulterior motives who's deliberately trying to disgust me. Even if someone has to take the blame, it should be me, not you."
Her voice was cold.
No one had ever seen her show such an expression before, and they felt both heartache and worry.
Yu Zhiyi touched Zi Yuan's leg and said in a deep voice, "I need to break your leg bones again and then set them back together. This process will be very painful. If you can't bear it, I can try to make you lose the sense of pain."
However, she doesn't recommend doing so.
Because she needs feedback from the injured person when setting bones.
"It's okay, I can handle it."
Zi Yuan has absolute trust in her young mistress.
After giving a few instructions, Yu Zhiyi asked the Jiang family members to leave for the time being.
Before long, everything was ready.
Yu Zhiyi made Ziyuan bite on a handkerchief, while she coldly broke the bones in the little girl's leg again.
Zi Yuan's already pale face instantly turned ashen, and cold sweat poured down her forehead as if it were free.
Yu Zhiyi's face was expressionless, her heart as cold and hard as a fish that had been killed a hundred years ago.
