Elder Qi was pleased. He waved his sleeves and said, "Alright, this is unbecoming! If the Third and Sixth Elders see you fawning over me like this, it would be disgraceful!"
“…”Dong Zhuxue and the Sixth Elder.
You're obviously showing off!
This really soured them.
After Dong Zhuxue saw that Chen Yan was safe and sound, she finally felt relieved and her expression softened a little unconsciously.
Chen Yan saluted towards Dong Zhuxue and smiled slightly: "Third Elder."
Dong Zhuxue smiled and nodded.
Elder Qi glanced around, frowned, and asked, "Where is Chi Yue?"
Zhuge Youlin immediately complained, "He must have fallen asleep somewhere! We sent him a message, but he didn't respond at all!"
"Will something happen to him?" The Sixth Elder didn't know Chi Yue's temperament and behavior, so he asked with concern.
Zhuge Youlin shook his head firmly, "Impossible! How could anything happen to him?"
He is lazy, not weak.
He is a person who can improve his cultivation even when lying down in his sleep, so how could he be beaten to death so easily?
Wen Yuchu asked softly, "Yan Yan, did Chi Yue contact you?"
"No." Chen Yan shook her head. "I just sent him a message. If he heard it, he should reply to us."
Elder Qi frowned, and he was at a loss as to what to do with this disciple.
At this moment, the disciples not far away were discussing.
"Hey, do you know? When we first came here, we saw a strange thing under the peach tree over there! It was entangled in green vines and looked like a giant silkworm chrysalis."
"We all thought it was so strange at the time, and thought it was some rare treasure! So we decided to poke it with our swords to see if we could find any clues."
"Who could have imagined that just as the sword was about to touch it, countless vines suddenly emerged from the ground at an incredibly fast speed, instantly surrounding us! Then, those vines attacked us like crazy, beating us to a pulp! We were so unlucky! Look, all these scars on our bodies were caused by that monster! It hurts so much!"
After saying this, the group of disciples lifted up their clothes to show the wounds on their bodies.
Chen Yan and the others heard it and looked in the direction of the sound.
I also saw the wounds on the disciples from being whipped.
"It's Chi Yue!" Zhuge Youlin said excitedly, because the scars on him after being whipped by vines were also like this, almost exactly the same.
Chen Yan: "He really fell asleep."
Elder Qi said, "You guys go and capture him first!"
After hearing this, Wen Yuchu first asked the disciples about the location of the peach tree, and then entered the imperial capital with his friends.
Soon, they found Chi Yue.
Under the peach tree, there is an "unknown object" wrapped in vines.
"Big..." Zhuge Youlin was about to shout out, but was stopped by Jiang Xianyue beside him.
"You want to get beaten again?"
Zhuge Youlin’s face froze slightly: “…” Who wants to be beaten?
A few people were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and walked up to Chi Yue and called him.
"Chi Yue."
As soon as he finished speaking, the vines wrapped around the boy gradually receded. The boy drooped his head sleepily. He slowly raised his head, and his clean, clear dark brown eyes stared at them.
"I'm waiting for you."
Shura's friends: "..." This made it seem like they were late.
They did not immediately return to the Qiankun Sect team, but instead found a relatively secluded place and asked Chen Yan: "Why did you ask us to lead the people outside the library away earlier?"
Chen Yan met their gaze, was silent for a moment, and asked in return: "Can I trust you?"
After hearing this, the friends realized that this was not a trivial matter, otherwise, Yanyan would not be so serious.
In fact, they had a vague guess in their hearts as to why this was happening, but they needed confirmation.
"Okay!" they said seriously.
Chen Yan's eyebrows relaxed slightly when she heard this. She first said, "Perhaps, this sounds a bit absurd, but it is true."
Anyone who heard that her previous life was the eldest princess, Shen Ke, would find it incredible. Perhaps their first reaction was that she had taken over another body.
"We believe you."
Chen Yan raised her eyes and pursed her lips.
…
When they returned to the Qiankun Sect team again, they found that almost all the survivors had been gathered outside the imperial capital.
Many people were injured.
Some were even on the verge of death.
Among them, Sui Changyun of Chengyun Hall was seriously injured.
The elders of Chengyun Hall were all very anxious. They didn't want Sui Changyun to die, so they used the best elixirs for Sui Changyun to take.
Chen Yan looked over, passed Sui Changyun, and finally fixed her sight on Nie Xun in the Jidao Sect team.
Nie Xun's face was pale, with blood stained at the corners of his lips. He lowered his eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
Chen Yan also heard from the discussions of the people around her that 'Nie Xun helped Princess Chen Ke escape'. This seemed to have caused great dissatisfaction from the leader of Jidao Sect. Just when they went to look for Chi Yue, the leader of Jidao Sect slapped Nie Xun hard in front of the Lu family's elder.
This is used as punishment.
Chen Yan's eyes darkened slightly. It was she who implicated Nie Xun.
Nie Xun seemed to notice her gaze, looked over here, and their eyes met.
Chen Yan was not in a hurry and nodded slightly at him, which was considered a greeting.
When Nie Xun saw this, his lips unconsciously opened slightly, and he was a little surprised.
