Chapter 65: The human-shaped senior brother will never give up on you at any time.
Qi Yuanbai swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and just looked at Mu Fuyun coldly and with a warning. He said no more and continued to concentrate on regulating Xie Hanyi's breathing.
Mu Fuyun couldn't guess what he didn't say next.
But it will never be "not even others can save him."
Although the sect leader Qi Yuanbai's swordsmanship skills are not as good as Xie Hanyi's, he is definitely slightly better than others.
So, what on earth was he going to say?
Many guesses flashed through Mu Fuyun's mind, but he had no time to distinguish them carefully. He could only suppress the confusion and worries in his heart and wait patiently.
From the time night fell until dawn, Xie Hanyi, who was immersed in water from the waist down, was covered with a thick layer of frost and snow. Even his long black hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes were covered in white snow. He looked like he was frozen into a sculpture, motionless.
When a ray of morning light appeared in the eastern sky, Qi Yuanbai withdrew his hand, slowly opened his eyes, and let out a long breath.
"Alright." His usually straight back hunched slightly, and his cold face turned a pale gray, reflecting the morning sun's light like wet paper. "Stay here and watch over him until he wakes up. If anything happens to him again, I won't let you off easily."
Mu Fuyun's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down temporarily. He didn't mind the harshness and indifference in Qi Yuanbai's tone. He bowed to him and thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you, Master, for your help. I will stay by your side until you wake up."
Qi Yuanbai was obviously exhausted from the spiritual power output that night. For someone with Xie Hanyi's level of cultivation, to reverse the flow of energy in his body, he would have to input energy continuously, like filling a bottomless pit.
He didn't stay any longer, straightened his clothes, and left Lingshanze.
Mu Fuyun was left alone to continue guarding the side, recalling what had just happened.
…
On the other side, the Tianyan disciples who stayed in the Xisha Islands spent a whole night to calm the people of Beiwu Town.
There weren't many things to deal with here, so Jiang Hanqiu ordered Yun Ni to take the two of them and stay, leaving two days later, while he took the others away first.
Before leaving, she wrote a letter to Cang Yan in the capacity of an elder of Tian Yan. In the letter, she first apologized for trespassing into the Demon Realm, and then accused him of kidnapping Tian Yan's disciples at will. Finally, she hinted to Cang Yan that this matter should be written off by both parties on the grounds of the stability of the two realms of immortals and demons.
After doing all this, she left Beiwu Town.
When he returned to Tianyan, the other new disciples had already completed their respective tasks and returned to the sect.
Everyone gathered in the mission hall, and Instructor Shen calculated the points for this time and changed the ranking list.
The mission in the Xisha polar region was the most difficult. Although they were unable to complete it due to an accident, they finally asked for help from the sect and barely suppressed the monsters there. However, considering that the mission was too difficult and they performed well, they were still given the original 80% points.
In this way, although the new disciples are still ranked last, they have all obtained points to continue staying in the sect, and everyone is happy.
Only two people did not show any joy at all.
After most people left, Zhan Yao went to the Punishment Hall on his own initiative and "confessed" to the sect rules posted on the wall that he had almost killed his fellow disciples in the Xisha Polar Region. He was punished to be locked up in the Punishment Hall's confinement room for a month, and was required to copy the sect rules, which amounted to thousands of words, every day.
Xu Lian saw her every move and stood outside the punishment hall, hesitating to move forward.
She felt guilty and uneasy, not knowing what to do. Whether in Xiji or on the way back, she tried to get close to Zhan Yao.
But with Zhan Yao's personality, she wouldn't give her any chance.
Unconsciously, the guilt in her heart seemed to slowly change.
"Alian, what happened between you and Ayao?" Zhou Su asked quietly after noticing something was wrong. "Why did she come here? Did something happen outside?"
Xu Lian was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the now empty Punishment Hall. She gritted her teeth and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, Susu. I may not be able to be friends with A-Yao anymore. What about you? Who do you choose, me or her?"
Zhou Su was stunned. She had not expected such a sudden change. But she had a premonition that Zhan Yao and the others were not the same kind of people.
"You, of course it's you." She paused for a moment before answering simply, "I became close to her because of you. Now, of course, I'm still your friend."
Xu Lian let out a breath and finally smiled for the first time in recent days.
…
At Fu Ri Peak, after Chu Ye and Song Xinghe went to pay their respects to Qi Yuanbai, he went to the back hall alone.
He had never taken out the palm leaf from the mustard bag until now. After he had set up restrictions all around and closed all the doors, and there was no one around to disturb him, he finally had the opportunity to study it carefully.
He placed the palm-sized palm leaf in his hand. It was empty at first and nothing could be seen. But when the three words "soul-nourishing technique" flashed through his mind, the yellowed palm leaf finally changed.
The handwriting was still written with a golden pen, but unlike the last time when there were only three words "Soul-nourishing Technique", this time, seven lines of words appeared, totaling forty-nine words, which was a secret formula for a certain mental method.
Without hesitation, he read the forty-nine words over and over again. After memorizing them by heart, he tried to follow the instructions of the mental method, using his internal energy to gather spiritual power, trying his best to divide it into extremely fine strands to surround the lotus lantern, and then dripped the little bit of Mu Fuyun's blood that was still left from the porcelain bottle into the wick.
This was when Mu Fuyun gave him blood before. He was careful and did not use it all up. He cast some spells and saved a little bit in case something happened in the future so that he would not be cut off from the supply.
The wick flickered and the flame swayed. Chu Ye took the opportunity to pour his spiritual power into the flame.
At first, there was no difference except that the flames became a little stronger.
Chu Ye waited for a moment and felt a little disappointed. After holding on for a while, he slowly withdrew his spiritual power according to the instructions of the mental method.
At this moment, a wisp of green smoke suddenly emerged from the lotus lantern, as if it was formed from the spiritual power he had just poured into it.
The wisp of green smoke twisted and gathered in the air. After a moment, it turned into a gradually clearer shape of a person. The semi-transparent gray smoke gradually changed color, from pink, white to black, which were the person's hair, skin, and clothes.
The soft, fair and smooth face, the long, thick black hair, and the light grey Taoist robe are extremely vivid.
That is——
"Yue'er!"
Chu Ye stayed where he was, staring at the human figure appearing before him with wide eyes, almost unable to believe his eyes.
The human figure was floating above the lotus lantern. He had his eyes closed, but when he heard his voice, he slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head, and looked at him.
As he moved, the long hair that was draped over her shoulders slid down from both sides, blocking the sides of her face, half-blocking her gentle and joyful smile.
"Senior Brother!" The transformed Mu Fuyue called him in surprise, her tone as intimate and dependent as ever, but her voice was a little dry and hoarse, as if she had not spoken for a long time.
The two of them called out to each other and then looked at each other silently. For a moment, the air became quiet.
Chu Ye was immersed in a trance and took a long time to come back to his senses.
Mu Fuyue blinked, suddenly feeling a little uneasy, and whispered, "Big Brother, I thought I would never see you again..."
"How could that be? Senior Brother will never give up on you." Chu Ye came back to his senses, and when he heard the three words "Senior Brother", he felt his heart tremble as if it was about to break.
"I'm sorry, Yue'er, for keeping you waiting for so long."
In fact, sometimes, he almost thought that there was no chance anymore. But every time he was lost, new hope would appear.
For example, Mu Fuyun’s blood, the Phoenix’s heart blood, and the palm leaves in the secret realm.
"It doesn't matter. I'm already satisfied that my senior brother hasn't forgotten me."
Mu Fuyue smiled understandingly, paused, then carefully lifted her eyelids and looked at him expectantly: "Big Brother, do I still have a chance to return to my original appearance?"
"Original appearance" naturally refers to the appearance before her death. She wants to be resurrected and return to Tianyan.
"Yes, I definitely can. Senior Brother has found a way. Yue'er, don't worry. Senior Brother will let you come back as soon as possible." Chu Ye repeatedly assured her, took out the palm leaf again, waved it at her, and said, "It is the mental method on it that allows you and I to meet now."
Since it is the "soul-nourishing technique", it naturally involves more than just mental skills. There must be other things recorded at the end.
At this moment, golden words appeared again on the side facing him.
Chu Ye glanced at her indifferently, and his expression, which was originally so happy that he could hardly restrain his smile, suddenly froze. He even forgot what he was about to say and just stood there.
