Yunji: "..."
The fingers of Immortal Lord Yunji, gripping the jade slip, turned slightly white from the force.
As he listened to Xie Linyuan rambling on with a straight face, he felt the string of "reason" in his mind cracking under the strain.
Finally, just as Xie Linyuan was about to steer the conversation back to the core argument that "Zhao Zhao's heart is full of me" for the third time and was preparing to launch a new round of mental attacks on "you are jealous of me," Yun Ji suddenly slammed the last jade slip she had finished reviewing shut.
He raised his head, his face displaying an unprecedented numbness and coldness, almost as if he had seen through the illusions of the world.
"Your Excellency."
Yun Ji's voice was calm and undisturbed, "Are you finished?"
Xie Linyuan was slightly taken aback by his sudden interruption. Then, as if he understood something, his eyes revealed a more irritatingly tolerant look that said, "I understand, I understand everything."
"Yunji, I know you are suffering. If you are truly in pain, there is no need to force a smile..."
"I'll fuck your father's brother."
With a blank expression, Immortal Lord Yunji spoke clearly in a calm tone, as if reporting official business.
"..." Xie Linyuan blinked, seemingly not quite understanding.
Yun Ji, however, was too lazy to waste any more words with him. He simply stood up, his immortal power surging around him, and without a word, rolled up all the processed jade slips on the table, and then—
Before Xie Linyuan could react, he grabbed his master's wrist and tore through the space in front of him with his other hand!
"Official business has been completed. Your Excellency, please descend to the mortal realm immediately."
Yun Ji's voice remained flat, but her movements carried an undeniable resolve, as if she were clearing away some large, unrecyclable piece of trash. "Shen Zhaozhao must have been waiting for a long time. If she arrives late, she might... blame you."
As he spoke, he almost pushed and shoved Xie Linyuan into the spatial rift.
"As for the Heavenly Dao, I will keep a close watch on it for twelve hours straight. If it makes any unusual moves, I will immediately burn my immortal energy to send you a message, ensuring that you can return immediately to overturn its table and that your business will not be delayed!"
Seeing that Xie Linyuan had half his body stuffed into the crack, but seemed to still intend to show off Shen Zhaozhao's wish slip to him, Yun Ji seemed to finally lose his temper. He knew that if he didn't get what Xie Linyuan wanted, he would probably keep nagging!
Thinking of this, for the sake of her own peace, Yunji seemed to have completely abandoned her self-respect and started talking nonsense in a fit of despair!
"Yes! Your subordinate admits it! Your subordinate is jealous! Jealous that Your Majesty has someone who cares for you and thinks about you! Jealous that you can be with Shen Zhaozhao!"
"Your subordinate has a dark heart! Your subordinate cannot bear to see lovers finally get together! That's why your subordinate deliberately delayed you from handling official business! Just to prevent you two from smoothly celebrating that damned Flower Festival! Your subordinate deserves to die! Your subordinate is utterly wicked!"
He practically roared it out, yet his face remained as cold and indifferent as still water.
"Now I know I was wrong! I beg you! Get out... no, Your Majesty, please go back! I'm begging you! If you don't go soon, Shen Zhaozhao will be anxious! She must miss you terribly! Please get out... please go back to your residence!"
With a final, almost broken sound, Yun Ji used all her strength to push Xie Linyuan completely into the spatial rift!
The crack closed instantly.
Silence returned to the Qingxu Hall.
Only Immortal Lord Yunji remained, standing in place, his chest rising and falling slightly, his face still bearing that unchanging icy expression, only the slight twitching of his lips betraying the turmoil in his heart.
He raised his hand and expressionlessly straightened the cuffs of his perfectly neat robe.
The world is finally peaceful!
...
One day in heaven is equivalent to several days on earth.
While Xie Linyuan was filled with excitement as he faced the wish slip in the Nine Heavens Palace, and was "respectfully escorted" down to the mortal realm by Yunji, the land of Lingzhou, within the Shuai Jue Ren Qing Sect, was a scene of "thriving"...unscrupulous merchants.
Shen Zhaozhao, Xiao Jingrui, and Wan Qianqiu were huddled together around a stone table near the sect's martial arts arena, heads close together, plotting the upcoming sect competition.
"This grand sect competition has brought together disciples from all sects, making it the perfect time for us to realize our grand ambitions!"
Xiao Jingrui rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming like a weasel eyeing a fat chicken. "With accommodations scarce and people restless, this is the perfect opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation... uh, it's the perfect time to help those in need!"
Wan Qianqiu raised his eyelids slightly upon hearing this, still maintaining his otherworldly demeanor: "Alright, Rui Rui! My newly refined 'Gold-Eating Mantis' legion is already itching for action!"
"Let me tell you! My new Gu worm is immune to ordinary dispelling spells, has a keen sense of smell, and especially loves to gnaw on fabrics and bedding imbued with spiritual energy. And its reproduction rate is... hehehe..."
Shen Zhaozhao rubbed her hands together as she listened, and without any hesitation, she betrayed Pei Lang, whom she hadn't seen in a long time: "At that time, I'll use the excuse of catching up with Pei Lang to bring Senior Brother's Gu worms to the Chixiao Sect's dormitory..."
"At that time, Second Brother, your 'Special Insect Repellent Powder' can directly hit the nail on the head. As for the price... it's not unreasonable to charge thirty to fifty times more than the market price, is it?"
"Not at all! Not at all!"
Xiao Jingrui immediately chimed in, his voice righteous and stern, "We've solved their immediate problem! We've ensured they get a good night's sleep! It's only fair that we get a little compensation for our hard work!"
The three of them thought about it more and more, and when they looked at each other, they all saw in each other's eyes a tacit understanding of being in cahoots... no, it was a tacit understanding of being like-minded.
Not far away, Murong Xiao was squatting intently next to Qin Zhenzhen, staring longingly at the strand of silk in her hand that shimmered with a strange metallic luster.
