New autumn geese arrive
Xiao Baiyao found the oranges by the lake.
"Are there still oranges?"
You Youju turned her head and looked at Xiao Baiyao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with great shock.
What's going on here?
Xiao Baiyao seemed indifferent: "I didn't expect to see you here. How are you?"
You Youju stepped forward: "You are the one who's wrong, what's wrong?"
Xiao Baiyao looked extremely haggard, thin as a skeleton, with her legs hanging limply.
The wheelchair she was sitting in was quite extraordinary; it was a rather impressive ritual implement.
Xiao Baiyao feigned surprise: "Didn't Zhu Xun tell you?"
"Could it be?"
Xiao Baiyao nodded, her smile strained: "That day you left in such a hurry. When I and the others arrived, Zhu Xun's demonic energy was soaring. I tried to pull him away, but I was repelled... so..."
You Youju looked distressed and deeply ashamed: "I'm sorry, this has affected you all. I will take responsibility for this..."
"It's no use. Zhu Xun's demonic energy is extraordinary, and he has no way to cure it."
I thought...you were dead.
You Youju didn't know how to explain it to him, so she sat down next to him and turned her head to the side, perhaps because she couldn't bear to watch.
"Youju." Xiao Baiyao placed his hand on Youju's shoulder, and for some reason, Youju felt it was very heavy.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no need for us to hide anything from each other. You actually knew this was a fictional world, right?"
You Youju's heart pounded, and he bit his lower lip, not turning his head.
"Are you trying to change the storyline by doing everything you're doing now?"
"......"
You Youju suddenly remembered Zhu Xun saying that he already knew everything. In Xiao Baiyao's eyes, his expression was one of horror: "Did you tell Zhu Xun?"
It's good to be scared.
Xiao Baiyao shook her head: "Why would you think that? It was Zhu Xun who asked me to come find you, but you weren't in the Demon Palace."
You Youju was skeptical, staring suspiciously at Xiao Baiyao.
If there were a second person who had also read the novel in real life, in order not to disrupt the "balance" he was trying so hard to maintain, he would have no choice but to kill him.
He asked, "Where are Song Song and the others?"
Xiao Baiyao's fingers, hidden beneath her sleeves, were already clenched white: "You know that Song Song and the demonic path are sworn enemies..." You Youju's facial expression was already somewhat distorted: "You, do you want to kill me?"
You Youju stood up, looking down at Xiao Baiyao with an expression that was hard to tell whether she was angry or laughing, but rather showed signs of self-abandonment: "How can I avoid killing you?"
"I...I had no choice but to kill you, why are you only saying it now?"
Xiao Baiyao didn't expect You Youju to react this way. She took a half step back in her wheelchair and said, "Then why should I walk into the lion's den? Youju, since you're also from out of town, you should understand that you can't stop the plot from developing. You have to face reality!"
You Youju initially only wanted to minimize the harm to Zhu Xun, treating it all as a game. However, Zhu Xun later became obsessed with him early on and even developed inappropriate feelings for him.
At first, he only wanted to do his best to be Cen Chaolan's master and not to develop feelings for this opposing side of Chaolan. But people are not plants or trees... Later, Chaolan even damaged her cultivation for him and did not obtain the Purple Emperor Sword at the most suitable time.
He began to hope again, hoping that the two realms could be like they had been for the past hundred years...
"You should know this is the last time. You Youju, this is the end! You can't interfere! You can't change it!"
"Is this the end?" he murmured.
You Youju deflated and turned her back: "Go away. Go back to being your carefree young master. Don't let me see you again, and don't ever show your face in front of us again."
Xiao Baiyao gritted his teeth, but he didn't have the strength to beat You Youju right now. Otherwise, he would have made Zhu Xun suffer a heart-wrenching pain before giving up: "Fine, since you insist on doing this, as an old acquaintance, I will help you one last time."
If you find and destroy that sword, things might still turn around.
In short, he had achieved his goal. Even if he couldn't kill You Youju, as long as those two were there, there were plenty of ways to kill him.
Xiao Baiyao's words were like salt dissolved in water, colorless yet flavorful. They caused You Youju's stomach pain, which was quite unpleasant.
Suddenly it started to rain, white beads of water leaping into the lotus leaves, swirling in circles. One drop, two drops. Then came a torrential downpour, making the umbrella sway precariously, rapidly merging together. The lotus leaves finally couldn't bear it any longer, and the rain poured down, scattering most of the last drops of summer.
After this rain, it will be autumn.
You Youju returned to Yundi Peak soaked to the bone, where Hua Heying was waiting for him while eating pine nuts.
Seeing You Youju return soaking wet, she got up and went over to her, sniffing her left and right: "You went to the Demon Realm?"
You Youju nodded weakly, dried her hair, and changed into a new set of clothes.
Si Chuitang came in carrying a tea tray: "Oh! I thought she wasn't coming back today. Oh dear, what's wrong? Why are you looking so dejected?" It turned out that it wasn't just Senior Sister Hua Heying who came.
You Youju was really frustrated and picked up a pine nut from her senior sister's pine nuts and ate it. Hua Heying stepped forward and put the pine nuts in her own pocket, pushed the unpeeled ones toward You Youju, and then complained to Si Chuitang, "He got caught in the rain. And he secretly went to the Demon Realm."
You Youju angrily snatched a candy from Hua Heying's pocket and ate it. Hua Heying then hit her on the head and gave her a thud. You Youju covered her head and vowed to snatch a piece from her senior sister to prove herself.
Si Chuitang poured You Youju a cup of hot tea: "What are you doing there? Aren't you a staunch advocate of peace? Did you go to seek revenge?"
You Youju didn't say a word from beginning to end. She shook her head with a mournful face and drank a sip of hot tea that warmed her body but not her heart.
The three of them sat around the Eight Immortals table. Si Chuitang peeled pine nuts for Hua Heying while looking at You Youju. Hua Heying ate pine nuts while looking at You Youju, wanting to hear what kind of nonsense You Youju could come up with.
Si Chuitang guessed: "Were you deceived by the feelings of a little girl or boy from the demon realm? Why do you look like you've suffered a heartbreak?"
Hua Heying nodded.
You Youju glared at the two of them resentfully, then sighed and shook her head.
Si Chuitang kicked You Youju under the table: "Say something! And how is Zhaohua?"
You Youju was speechless: "Is it really necessary to worry about someone who has only been your apprentice for a little over two months? Don't you want Chu Feishan and Chu Fei anymore?"
Si Chuitang chuckled, "I just felt an instant connection. You even brought your senior sister's disciples to Yundi Peak for tutoring."
Hua Heying nodded.
Instant connection. Instant connection. They're all instant connections. How can there be so many instant connections in the world?
You Youju was very irritable, rubbing his hair vigorously: "Don't worry, she's fine." After saying that, he sighed again, put his hands on his head, and buried his face between his arms.
Hua Heying handed over a piece of candy: "Speak."
Si Chuitang also sensed something was wrong: "What exactly happened?"
You Youju raised her head with a fake smile: "Senior sister and junior sister, I have a question. I have a friend, of course, my friend."
He adopted a child more than ten years ago, and then disappeared for a period of time due to some accident.
After they returned, the two became very close, but then this friend accidentally discovered that the child didn't actually treat him like family!
Hua Heying: "What kind of feeling is that?"
Si Chuitang: "In this situation, of course it's love, senior sister. Senior brother, do I know this friend you're talking about?"
You Youju: "That's not the point."
Si Chuitang: "It's like how baby birds are very dependent on their mothers. The children are still young and can't tell the difference yet."
You Youju had considered the possibility of a child being a baby bird, and he lay on the table saying, "What if my friend discovers that this child has collected a lot of items related to himself?"
Si Chuitang and Hua Heying exchanged a glance.
Seeing his serious expression, Si Chuitang said cautiously, "Senior brother, you went into too much detail. If Chao Lan hadn't been punished by you to go into seclusion, I would have thought..."
You Youju spat out a mouthful of hot tea: "By the way, what exactly do you want from me?"
Hua Heying: "Junior brother is changing the subject."
If you've discovered it, don't expose it, senior sister!
Si Chuitang tossed a pine nut into the air and ate it: "I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it, Senior Brother. Several immortal sects said that the gate to the Demon Realm has appeared and asked if we wanted to participate."
You Youju was alert: "Participate in what?"
"The Demon Extermination Conference, they've figured out that the young Demon Emperor is a coward, so they're going to give him a hard time."
"And then what?" You Youju was already seething with anger.
"Of course we didn't go. We from Chaoyun Mountain would never participate in something so thankless and futile. If Chaoyun Mountain took the lead, how many immortal sects would dare not go? My second senior brother and I held back. But my senior sister does want to go."
Hua Heying nodded.
You Youju remained calm: "How did this happen?"
Si Chuitang blinked: "Of course there are traitors. I heard that this Demon Emperor is a tyrant, even worse than the previous Regent."
But I think the regent is the real scoundrel; his clandestine schemes have harmed so many people.
You Youju's stomach started hurting again as she tensed up, her stomach clenching and throbbing: "How many people went?"
"You visited three immortal sects. Was there anything unusual during your trip to the Demon Realm?"
You Youju clutched his stomach and rubbed it. The day Zhaohua came to report that the Regent had fled, the traitor must have been him.
The ones Zhu Xun went to later were most likely those troublesome immortal sects. Hopefully, Zhu Xun won't intervene; otherwise, this great battle is inevitable.

"Elders, Chu Fei has something to report."
Yu Youju broke out in a cold sweat, and her fingernails dug into her flesh.
"Come in, what's the matter?"
You Youju didn't dare to breathe at this moment, silently praying that Zhu Xun hadn't made a move, hadn't made a move.
"This disciple was unaware that the Grand Elder is waiting for you in the Elder Hall."
The group exchanged bewildered glances. Could such a large-scale mobilization really be true?
You Youju felt like fainting at that moment.
Upon arriving at the Elders' Hall, You Youju pursed her lips tightly, quietly awaiting the judgment.
The sailors on the Cangzhou boat danced with unusual excitement: "Do you know what happened to them after they went to the Demon Realm?"
Everyone shook their heads, but seeing Cang Zhou Shui so excited, they figured it couldn't be anything good.
Cangzhou Waterway: "Everyone has returned unharmed!"
Everyone was surprised, and You Youju finally breathed a sigh of relief, though she was on the verge of tears.
Why did you call everyone here again for something like this?
?
Si Chuitang said, "That's a good thing. The Demon Lord's retreat this time shows that he won't start a war."
Cang Zhoushui glanced at her sideways: "Hmph, I wonder what tricks that kid has up his sleeve. But they weren't too reckless this time; they did provide us with a lot of information."
After saying that, he pointed at You Youju and said, "You, you better release Chaolan right now. He only needs to practice his basic skills for two or three days. He is the backbone now and should learn how to deal with the various sects!"
After another round of nagging, Cangzhou Shui finally let the group go.
After the meeting, Youju called out to Huaheying: "Senior sister, this is for you."
Hua Heying accepted it; it was an exquisite and beautiful pill box, radiating demonic energy.
Hua Heying looked at You Youju warily: "Have you gone along with their evil deeds?"
You Youju said helplessly, "This is the medicine to break the curse. I got it for you. After that, you'll grow up day by day." Growing up day by day... that sounds so awkward.
Hua Heying's eyes immediately lit up: "You went to the Demon Realm to find me an antidote?"
You Youju was charmed and, despite her feelings, accepted the gesture: "Hehe, I guess so."
