"Um, this..."
He Banjian had long imagined such a scenario, but when she actually faced it, she was still at a loss, to the point that her tongue got tied and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
My skills are still too shallow!
Jinyun Immortal saw her predicament and softened his voice, coaxing her gently, "Banjian, are you upset that I haven't been able to find you? Actually, I never gave up for a moment. Now that I see you again, I know that heaven has not let me down. Banjian, thank heaven for its blessing that I have finally found you. I have endured many years of loneliness for this day."
He Banjian was so captivated by Jinyun Immortal's gentleness that she began to waver.
Why not go with Immortal Venerable Jinyun? Although she hasn't seen it with her own eyes, the rumors say that Immortal Venerable Jinyun is completely devoted to Lin Banjian. Even though that kind of thing happened in the end, hasn't he been searching for her all these years? He must regret it in his heart.
However, her wavering heart was quickly swayed by the Demon Lord Luan Hua.
“You’re just saying that, but I did meet Banjian first, and I did give more for her!” He said to Jinyun Immortal Venerable provocatively. “I’m afraid you don’t know, but if it weren’t for my support, Banjian would never have become Yao Nu.”
He Ban was slightly surprised. It was actually the Demon Lord Luan Hua! She had always wondered how a peasant girl with an ordinary background could have overcome all obstacles and become a Yao Maiden so smoothly.
The scales in her heart tipped in favor of Demon Lord Luan Hua once again.
The Demon Lord is right. What good are your sweet words? Actions speak louder than words! It's always easier to say than to do! Today, Demon Lord Luan Hua can elevate her to the position of Yao Maiden. In the future, won't she easily gain even more power and wealth?
So she hid behind Demon Lord Luan Hua and whispered, "I...I only know this Lord Luan Hua, Young Master Jinyun. We just met recently, and I don't know you well yet. If I were to go with you so hastily, I think I should..."
Looking at He Banjian, who was timidly staring at him, Jinyun Immortal Venerable felt his head throbbing more and more, and he even saw double vision. He held his forehead.
"Since Banjian has already spoken, there's nothing more to argue about. Let's go, Banjian. Remember this person's face; he's the worst, worst villain ever! Oh well, you don't have to remember him, since you'll never have the chance to meet again!"
Demon Lord Luan Hua extended his hand, making a "please" gesture. He Banjian took the opportunity to place his hand on his large hand, and Demon Lord Luan Hua led He Banjian away from the sight of Immortal Venerable Jinyun.
When Immortal Jinyun's headache subsided slightly, the two had already disappeared.
They just let them leave like that!
Jinyun Immortal Venerable angrily flicked his sleeve. After so many years, he had finally found Banjian with great difficulty; how could he just let her go like this?
However... at least he knows where she is now. Demon Lord Luan Hua will definitely hide her in the Demon Cave. He can just go and raze the Demon Cave to the ground and snatch her back.
A surge of intense excitement welled up in his chest, and he even felt an urge to burst into laughter.
Luan Hua, Luan Hua, back then we both went through tribulations, but neither of us ascended to immortality. Now, many years have passed, it's time to settle things once and for all!
He finally found a new direction; he was no longer the Jinyun who was stuck in the same place, lost in the past!

When Li Mingke returned to the three of them, everyone was startled.
"Cousin, were you beaten up?" Wang Jingyuan looked at the footprints and stains on Li Mingke's body, as well as her messy hair, and thought she had been bullied.
"Damn it, who dares to hit my cousin!" He immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight.
"Wait, Jingyuan, no one hit me. I just tripped and fell by accident." She grabbed Wang Jingyuan.
"Huh? You fell and got hurt this badly?" Wang Jingyuan just couldn't believe it.
Li Mingke held him, and he couldn't break free, but gradually, he felt the increasing heat coming from his wrist.
"Cousin, why are your hands so hot?" Wang Jingyuan noticed Li Mingke's unusual behavior; her cheeks were flushed, but her lips were pale.
He quickly placed his hand on Li Mingke's forehead, and sure enough, it was burning hot.
"Cousin, your head could boil an egg!" Wang Jingyuan screamed as he was burned and immediately withdrew his hand.
Ma Gege pushed the startled Wang Jingyuan aside and also felt Li Mingke's forehead. "Mingke has a fever."
Seeing that Li Mingke didn't look well, Chen Zifeng said, "Anyway, we've already watched the blessing ceremony. Besides, Mingke is sick. Let's go back as soon as possible, ask a doctor to take a look, and get some medicine."
Wang Jingyuan and Ma Gege both nodded in agreement.
On the carriage ride back, Wang Jingyuan teased her, "Cousin, I was just looking for you when you suddenly disappeared. Tell me! Was it because you were too close to the Yao girl and received too many blessings that you got a fever?"
Li Mingke was delirious with fever and had no time to reply to him. He curled up in a ball, closed his eyes, and nodded repeatedly.
"Wang Jingyuan, shut up!" Ma Gege scolded him, unable to stand his incessant chatter in front of the patients. Chen Zifeng then brought over a plate of snacks and handed it to Wang Jingyuan, saying, "Have some."
Wang Jingyuan was furious watching the two of them working together, and he stuffed the snacks into his mouth.
Although Li Mingke was dizzy, she was still conscious. When she thought of how Jinyun Immortal Venerable had left her so mercilessly, her eyes stung, so she simply closed them tightly.
The journey was not smooth; the carriage jolted, and Li Mingke's heart pounded along with it.
Magge wet her handkerchief and placed it on her forehead. She weakly said thank you.
But after Ma Gege finished doing all that, she sat down next to her and stared at her face.
Li Mingke: ?
"Mingke, I'm not trying to be mean, but aren't you too thin? Your face is small, your neck is thin, your eyelashes are long and curled, and your hair is soft."
She raised her hand, "Her hand is only a little bigger than mine, with thin, long, and white fingers."
She paused for a moment.
"You're not a girl, are you?"
Li Mingke: !!!
