"Young friend Fu, I apologize for the intrusion."
Um?
Just as Jia Xitong was in a daze, Baiyu Zhenjun suddenly pulled the jade bead out of her hand and stuffed his wide sleeve into her hand.
With sleeves in hand, sight and hearing are shared.
If the sleeve slips from one's hand, one will become both deaf and blind.
To prevent herself from becoming deaf and blind, Jia Xitong clung to his sleeve, afraid to let go.
Then, Baiyu Zhenjun took out a jade bead and swirled it in his hands, creating a special gesture.
Instantly, the jade bead shone brightly.
Bai Yu Zhenjun threw the jade bead down towards Yuncheng. As soon as the jade bead left his hand, it grew hundreds of times larger, trapping all the people of the city below within it.
The terrifying sound finally disappeared before the ordinary people covered in blood could even react.
Jia Xitong was also stunned; she hadn't expected it to be like this!
"Young friend, Fu!"
Bai Yu Zhenjun looked at her and said, "Please hurry up and send these people outside the city."
Using the Thousand Cleansing Pearl to protect the entire city consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy.
"good!"
Jia Xitong nodded.
With his support now, there's no need to shut down the five senses.
Jia Xitong piloted the Water Cloud Boat to the place with the most people, constantly taking people away and then returning in an empty boat.
I've come and gone so many times.
She practically emptied the city of its inhabitants.
"Senior Bai Yu!"
Jia Xitong set off in an empty boat to pick up Bai Yu Zhenjun, intending to ask him for help in finding Shang Yanting after this job was done. After all, to avoid being subjected to that inexplicable voice and having to seal all five senses, only Bai Yu Zhenjun could hear and see.
"Could you help me find my host family later?"
She had just finished stating her request when Bai Yu Zhenjun staggered as he retrieved the jade bead, as if he couldn't stand up straight.
Is it really that hard?!
Just when Jia Xitong thought he was going to reject her, Bai Yu Zhenjun suddenly said "Okay".
Senior, you're about to collapse!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the kindest and most warm-hearted person in the entire Aotian Continent.
Jia Xitong was startled at first, then quickly took out the map she had casually picked up from the city lord's mansion.
While rescuing the person, she wasn't idle either. She searched the entire Yuncheng, asking about ten people along the way and eliminating numerous possibilities. With a map covered in crosses, Jia Xitong searched the remaining locations, going through streets, alleys, dilapidated houses, and taverns, but found no trace of him.
The more I searched, the more worried I became.
Where did her host family go?
Jia Xitong looked at the dense crosses drawn on the wall, her gaze finally landing on the City Lord's Mansion, the place that was crossed out first.
"By the way, senior, did you see the city lord among the people we rescued?"
“…No,” the person behind replied.
"Walk!"
Jia Xitong looked at the City Lord's Mansion, which had been reduced to ruins, and pulled Bai Yuzhenjun's jade bead to lead him forward.
Although it had all collapsed, the City Lord's Mansion was unlike any other place in Yun City. Centered around the City Lord's sleeping quarters, the entire structure was sunken into the ground like half an eggshell.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Bai Yu Zhenjun behind him spoke up to remind him.
Jia Xitong's gaze, which had been fixed on the corpse on the ground, quickly shifted to the distance, as if fearing a sneak attack.
However, there were no other living people around them.
Further away, she saw the city lord's corpse.
I hope nothing really happened to her host.
Jia Xitong quickened her pace, dragging the person behind her along as they jogged until they finally reached the very center of the depression.
Shang Yanting was at the very bottom with his eyes closed, surrounded by spiritual energy.
A golden treasure floats above it, and two different spiritual energies are fiercely clashing.
"Senior, my host is right there!"
Jia Xitong excitedly pointed forward, and then the next second, Bai Yu Zhenjun behind her fell down towards her.
Bai Yu Zhenjun appeared to be a thin old man, but he was actually quite heavy. Caught completely off guard, Jia Xitong was nearly knocked to the ground. "Senior!"
Only then did Jia Xitong realize that something was wrong behind her, and she quickly turned around.
As soon as we helped Senior Bai Yu up, we saw that his whole body was emitting a soft white light.
With a click.
The hairpin that held his hair up fell off, and his originally dry hair suddenly became as smooth as if he had used ten pounds of conditioner, and the color changed from pale to a luminous silver.
Wow!
His hair is so healthy!
Jia Xitong touched it with her hand in surprise.
When I realized who the other person was, I immediately felt that I had been disrespectful.
"Senior Bai Yu, are you alright...?!"
Her gaze fell upon Bai Yuzhenjun's face. His skin was firm and fair, his features handsome, and his eyelashes long and thick. He was no longer a man in his sixties or seventies, but a handsome young man in the prime of his life.
White clothes and silver hair.
Light brown pupils.
The glow around him had a filter-like quality.
Although Jia Xitong's heart already belonged to her host, her eyes were completely occupied by the man in front of her at that moment.
He's so handsome!
She and her husband, Shang Yanting, are two different kinds of beautiful!
"Young friend, Fu!"
Bai Yu Zhenjun seemed to want to say something more, but the next second he collapsed from exhaustion.
The instant he fainted, an invisible spiritual force attacked her. It churned her spiritual energy, making her dizzy and disoriented, and the attack that struck her sea of consciousness nearly made her vomit blood.
The reason I felt so relaxed just now was because of Senior Bai Yu's hard work and dedication.
So he was exhausted and collapsed from depletion of spiritual energy.
Below her was her beloved host, and beside her was a noble and kind senior. Jia Xitong endured the excruciating pain, glanced at Shang Yanting in the pit, and then carried Bai Yu Zhenjun on her back and ran towards the city gate.
