One moon, two moons, three moons...
......
At this moment, the sect competition ended, and after the sect leader distributed the rewards, Li Wunian came to Yuexi's side.
Standing beside Yuexi were Zuo Xintao and several fellow disciples, who greeted Li Wunian as he approached.
Zuo Xintao nodded.
Li Wunian: "Congratulations, Junior Sister Yuexi, you're in seventh place!"
"Congratulations to Senior Sister Wunian as well."
"This doesn't seem very sincere. Where did my lively and adorable Yuexi go?"
Yuexi: "......"
The ceremony has ended.
The peak masters led their disciples back to their respective peaks, and Zuo Xintao also returned directly to her own peak, followed closely by several disciples.
"Senior sister, I'm going back to my secluded cultivation now."
Yuexi prepared to return with her master.
Li Wunian hurriedly called out, "Junior Sister Yuexi, wait! Are you in seclusion?"
"Hmm, is there a problem?"
Yuexi nodded, wondering why Senior Sister Wunian had asked the question.
"Aren't you most afraid of seclusion? Seclusion is so boring."
Li Wunian was a little surprised. Had Yuexi been too traumatized?
On the way back last time, Yuexi ignored Lin Shengwen completely, and no matter how Lin Shengwen explained, it was to no avail.
She had originally thought that Lin Shengwen would coax Yuexi more and they would reconcile like before, but it seemed that it was completely useless.
Yuexi said calmly, "You said it was all in the past. Now I want to cultivate, and that's the right path."
"Um?"
Li Wunian exclaimed in surprise, "Yuexi's personality wasn't like this before!" She put her hands on Yuexi's shoulders.
"Who are you? When did you possess my Yuexi? Give me back my gentle and lovely Yuexi!"
Yuexi was speechless. "Senior sister, stop joking. I really need to go back to seclusion. I'm only at the second stage of the Golden Core realm..."
"Alright, then you go back to cultivate first. Remember to come find me when you come out of seclusion, and we'll go for a stroll in Tianxin City."
"good."
Yuexi flew back on her sword, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face.
I remember that demon said: "For us cultivators, romantic love is a burden. We must cultivate ourselves properly, for that is the right path."
Back in her secluded retreat, Yuexi set up a protective barrier around the room so that she would immediately detect any disturbance.
Holding a talisman in his hand, he realized it was a prize from the sect competition, called the Cleansing Spirit Talisman.
The Cleansing Talisman, when used on oneself, can resist some illusions and charms, and can even seal the mind and consciousness, making it an extremely powerful talisman.
She looked at the talisman, made up her mind to use it directly, slapped it on her forehead, and the talisman disappeared.
This demon has already left my sea of consciousness; I must not let him in again.
Although their purpose is unknown, they are clearly up to no good. They must know that I have some use to them, and once they are used up, it will be my death.
What are you doing?
A voice resounded in my mind.
The bottle of seclusion pills in Yuexi's hand fell to the ground.
Why?
This demon can even enter my sea of consciousness?
Is this talisman fake?
No! A message personally sent by the sect leader is definitely not fake, but this...
Ji Yun looked at the stunned Yue Xi and spoke again: "Yue Xi? What's wrong with you? You don't welcome me back?"
"No...no, Yuexi was just startled. Senior always leaves and comes without a word, and Yuexi is timid."
Yuexi forced herself to remain calm and squatted down to pick up the medicine bottle.
This demon is not to be trifled with; he's too powerful. The Cleansing Talisman has absolutely no effect on him.
Ji Yun smiled and said, "Is that so? Then next time I'll give you a heads-up?"
"No...no need, please feel free to do as you please, senior. Yuexi is gradually getting used to it."
Yuexi was startled. Seriously?! To expect a powerful figure in the demonic path to consult her before acting? She must have a death wish.
She remembered a widely circulated story in the cultivation world before she even had her Golden Core.
At that time, the Blood Fiend Venerable passed by Qingyun Sect and saw a beautiful bamboo forest, so he casually took a piece of bamboo.
Then several disciples from Qingyun Sect ran out and scolded, "Who are you? You took our bamboo forest without saying a word."
Master Han of Qingyun Sect took the lead in standing up to reason, but he was slapped to death by Blood Fiend Venerable.
Ji Yun asked, "What talisman did you use just now? I saw it when I came back."
Upon hearing this, Yuexi's pretty face turned pale, and she clenched her small hands tightly.
"It's... the Cleansing Talisman." After saying that, Yuexi lay down on the bed. So what if she died? She couldn't fool this demon anyway.
"Oh? Is this what you're planning to use against me?"
"Yes!" Yuexi bit her lip.
"How dare you scheme against me like this! What did I teach you back in the Stone Poison Cave? You've betrayed your master and ancestors!"
"Senior is not my master. My master is Zuo Xintao."
"Alright, then I'll go kill Zuo Xintao now."
Upon hearing this, Yuexi panicked and hurriedly sat up: "No, I'm sorry, senior, Yuexi was wrong."
Master Zuo Xintao had been caring for and protecting her ever since she brought her into the family. She was determined not to involve her master and would bear any consequences on her own.
Ji Yun said, "You're wrong now, but you'll do it again next time, won't you?"
Tears welled up in Yuexi's eyes, and she choked out, "Senior, I will never do it again. I just want to protect myself and don't want to be controlled by others."
Seeing this, Ji Yun softened his tone: "Alright, alright, considering this is your first offense, I'll let you off this time. But if there's a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
