"Squeak..."
The door to the room was opened gently, and a maid came in, carrying some tea and snacks.
Zhao Yuwei stared blankly at the tea on the table, seemingly hesitating whether to use this time to leave.
However, Bai Zhao's actions had already moved her; there aren't many people in the world who would go to such lengths for him.
As the maid put down what she was carrying, Zhao Yuwei was surprised to find something extremely familiar inside.
She quickly picked up the sugar figurine from the plate, and the Lingjian Sect immediately came to mind: "Who...who gave this to me?"
The maid stood obediently to the side, her eyes filled with deep mockery.
Zhao Yuwei was no weak woman; she could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the maid in front of her.
His eyes narrowed slightly: "Just who are you?"
Jing Shen tore off the human skin mask from his face and sneered, "Look who I am!"
Looking up at Jing Shen's familiar face, Zhao Yuwei felt a chill run down her spine: "Jing Shen?"
This should be considered the first time she had encountered someone from the Spirit Sword Sect since arriving in the Upper Realm, and she walked up to him with a face full of excitement.
However, Jing Shen dared not provoke her at all, forcefully shaking off her hand and sneering.
"Since you are already married, why didn't you inform the Spirit Sword Sect?"
As a member of the Spirit Sword Sect, he didn't even mention such a big event as his marriage.
Seeing that Jing Shen had a deep misunderstanding about her, Zhao Yuwei pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Sit down first, and I'll explain it to you in detail."
Jing Shen looked to the side and waved his hand forcefully: "You don't need to tell me, do you know that Xiao Feng came to the Upper Realm for you?"
When she learned that Xiao Feng was also in the Upper Realm, her eyes were filled with intense joy.
She had always believed that the Spirit Sword Sect had been destroyed.
The depth of field that appeared revived her dead heart.
"I have asked many people to go down to the lower realm to find the Spirit Sword Sect, but none of them have brought me any news."
The implication was that she believed the Spirit Sword Sect had been destroyed, and she had to stay in the Upper Realm to improve her strength.
When Jing Shen learned of this, he finally understood why Zhao Yuwei wanted to stay in the Upper Realm.
He slowly stood up and pointed to the sugar figurine in front of him with his chin: "We saved the Spirit Sword Sect by turning the tide, and many disciples are recovering their strength."
Only after Zhao Yuwei learned that the Spirit Sword Sect was completely unharmed did her restless heart finally calm down.
Driven by curiosity, Jing Shen gradually spread his spiritual power over Zhao Yuwei.
Zhao Yuwei could sense Jing Shen's probing, but she did not stop him, allowing him to observe her strength.
"Having been in the Upper Realm for so long, my strength has indeed improved."
Zhao Yuwei saw that Jing Shen was still concerned about her, and this was the familiar feeling that came from being from the same sect.
"What's wrong with that kid?"
Jing Shen glanced at the gate, his purpose quite clear: to inquire about Bai Zhao.
When Zhao Yuwei heard Jing Shen ask Bai Zhao, she gave a bitter smile and recounted her entire experience in the Palace of Bliss.
She mistakenly believed that the two had never heard of the Palace of Bliss, and even wanted to tell them about the Palace of Bliss in detail.
Little did she know, Jing Shen's understanding was far deeper than hers.
Pretending to be like a star, she stayed in the Palace of Bliss for several months.
If Su Mu hadn't sent people to disband the Bliss Palace, he would probably still have remained there in hiding.
"What? Xiao Feng is also in the Palace of Bliss?"
She knew very well just how terrifying the Palace of Bliss was; if one's strength was insufficient, one could very likely be oppressed to death by those people.
Looking at Zhao Yuwei's concerned expression towards Xiao Feng, Jing Shen sneered, "You're someone else's fiancée, why are you so worried about Xiao Feng?"
He could tell that Jing Shen was quite angry.
"As far as I know, he was taken away by the saintess and his whereabouts are unknown."
Even he couldn't find Xiao Feng's current location, which chilled Zhao Yuwei's heart.
She knew better than anyone how ruthless the saintess could be.
Due to a mere misunderstanding, the alchemist of the Palace of Bliss died unjustly at her hands.
After a long silence, Jing Shen snorted coldly: "Bai Zhao rescuing you was just a favor, you don't owe him anything."
If it weren't for the two of them creating the opportunity, Bai Zhao and Zhao Yuwei wouldn't have been able to escape in the chaos.
Seeing Jing Shen's disdainful expression, Zhao Yuwei finally felt the care from the Spirit Sword Sect.
I thought I would never be able to see these familiar people again, but I never expected that I could still see the depth of field.
Moreover, both of them are in the Upper Realm, and this trip was specifically for him.
Looking up at the "double happiness" character above the window, I took a deep breath: "Two paths lie before you."
Zhao Yuwei listened quietly to Jing Shen's words, wanting to see what he had to say.
"The first thing is to leave here with me and return to the Spirit Sword Sect."
This was something Zhao Yuwei dreamed about all the time; otherwise, how could she have endured such torment?
Seeing that Zhao Yuwei did not respond, Jing Shen's expression became extremely ugly: "The second condition is expulsion from the sect. You will remain in the Upper Realm, and I will continue to search for him."
Now that Xiao Feng has disappeared, he needs to find someone before he can leave.
When she heard that Jing Shen wanted to expel her from the sect, she was terrified and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "You can't expel me from the sect, I...I'm willing to leave with you."
Jing Shen's gaze towards Zhao Yuwei gradually hardened, and he burst into laughter: "With your words, we, the Spirit Sword Sect, have not misjudged you."
Just as he was about to open the door, she stopped him.
She probably knows better than anyone how many powerful figures are in Liuhuo Mountain Manor.
His brow furrowed slightly: "If we leave like this, the powerful figures within the manor will surely intercept us and prevent us from leaving."
What's your best plan?
Right now, almost everyone at Liuhuoshan Manor is there for her and Bai Zhao's wedding.
If she were to appear elsewhere at this time, it would certainly cause dissatisfaction among others.
Zhao Yuwei walked to the side, pondered for a moment, and looked at Jing Shen again: "If you can disguise yourself as a maid, I believe you can also disguise yourself for me."
"certainly."
Upon hearing that Jing Shen possessed such unparalleled disguise skills, she immediately devised a plan.
“You can disguise me as an insignificant nobody in the manor, and the two of us can leave here.”
Seeing Zhao Yuwei's serious expression, Jing Shen realized she wasn't making fun of him, and agreed, "Then so be it."
Looking at the clothes inside, he took out a set of maid's clothes and threw them in front of Zhao Yuwei.
"Put on this outfit, and I'll choose you a minor, insignificant role."
Jing Shen and Zhao Yuwei had no relation, so he couldn't stay inside to watch her change clothes. He could only put on the human skin mask and return to the doorway.
To outsiders, she was merely Zhao Yuwei's personal maid, and no one would suspect that she was the one who came to take Zhao Yuwei away.
