Lan Xi died, killed by the backlash of the Blazing Heart Gu she had nurtured her entire life. How could there be love in this world built on some kind of medium?
Love should be pure; the kind of love that is controlled is at best a distorted form of possessiveness.
Ye Sisi didn't think Lan Xi's death was innocent or that it didn't deserve to die. They were both adults and should be responsible for their actions.
If she hadn't been so domineering in using witchcraft on others, she wouldn't have ended up like this; it's all her own fault.
Ye Sisi was about to use a fireball spell to burn Lan Xi's corpse when she exclaimed in surprise.
At the same time, Zhou Yuze, the mastermind behind the fusion, also noticed the anomaly.
Ye Sisi stepped forward, and with a gentle flick of her finger, a small green insect radiating vitality floated into her palm.
As the possessor of the Eye of Life, she has an incredibly keen sense of vitality.
The life force contained within this unremarkable little insect was even more concentrated than that of a longevity pill that could extend one's life by a hundred years.
Offering her own life force and lifespan to nourish a Gu worm—is this so-called saintess out of her mind? Does she think she has too much time on her hands?
If my fourth senior brother hadn't gotten rid of this guy, he probably would have had his life force completely devoured. What a vicious Gu Clan Saintess! I thought it was because of love, but now it seems that the things involved are far more complicated than that.
Zhou Yuze's expression was also not good. He hesitated for a moment and said, "As a condition for me to help you find the person, how about you hand over this Gu worm to me?"
Ye Sisi nodded without hesitation. There was no use for her taking it; she wouldn't eat it anyway. Besides, judging from the looks of it, this Gu clan had many secrets, so it was best for them to stay out of trouble for now.
Zhou Yuze took the Gu worm, sealed it in a jade bottle, and then waved his hand to collect Lan Xi's withered corpse.
He snapped his fingers, and soon the waiters of Xian Shang Lou filed in, bringing out all sorts of delicacies in a continuous stream.
"Let's eat and chat."
After Ye Sisi and the other staff had all left, she quickly asked, "Fellow Daoist Yu Ze, where is my second senior sister now?"
Zhou Yuze blinked and pointed to the food on the table, saying, "Let's eat first."
Ye Sisi was speechless. Was it really okay to keep people in suspense like this? Oh well, she'd better just bear with it. The main problem was that she couldn't beat them in a fight anyway.
The four ate quietly. Ye Sisi was a little absent-minded at first, but her eyes gradually brightened. "Immortal's Abode" was a good name, and the delicacies certainly lived up to it.
She hadn't had such delicious food in a long time, and since she was going to eat her fill today, she was determined to get her money's worth.
Seeing the three of them elegantly and quickly finish the food and wine on the table, Zhou Yuze smiled slightly. Hmm, it's pleasing to the eye to watch good-looking people eat.
Ye Sisi put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, picked up a purple spiritual fruit brimming with spiritual energy, took a bite, and yum, it was sweet, juicy, and delicious.
"Fellow Daoist Yuze, may we speak now?"
Zhou Yuze downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and laughed, "Aren't you curious about my identity, why I'm waiting for you here, or why I'm helping you get rid of those flies?"
Ye Sisi and Ye Shubai exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "If Fellow Daoist Yuze wants to say it, he will naturally say it."
Zhou Yuzhe glanced at the three of them and nodded: "It's no fun dealing with people like you. Forget it, I won't beat around the bush. Ouyang Yanyu is currently in the Demon-Slaying Land."
Ye Sisi and the other two frowned simultaneously, their expressions turning grim.
If Ouyang Yanyu is really in the Demon-Slaying Land, it must be fraught with danger. The seal of the Demon-Slaying Land is unstable to begin with, and who knows how many demons have escaped. She also doesn't have anyone she can completely entrust her back to, so her actions will only become more difficult.
"Fellow Daoist Yuze, how did you know?"
Zhou Yuze smiled and said, "Because I love beautiful women, especially those who are so elegant and refined. They are extremely rare, so I naturally pay more attention to them."
This time, not only Lin Shuangluo and Ye Shubai had dangerous looks in their eyes, but even Ye Sisi's little face showed a hint of anger.
She understood a little why her senior brothers and sisters were so angry when the male lead had designs on her before. They were inexplicably annoyed. After all, her second senior sister was from their family. How could just anyone have designs on her?
"Look, look, how stingy your sect is! Everyone has a love of beauty, don't you understand? My admiration for Fellow Daoist Ouyang is pure, just like my admiration for you."
As Zhou Yuze spoke, he winked at Ye Sisi.
Ye Sisi raised an eyebrow in confusion: "Are you flirting with me?"
Zhou Yuze almost choked on his own saliva; he never expected Ye Sisi to react this way.
Shouldn't a typical young girl blush with embarrassment upon hearing such words? Why is she like this?
Lin Shuanglu burst into laughter, giving Ye Sisi a thumbs-up as she laughed, saying, "Well done!"
Ye Shubai couldn't help but turn his face away, but he became even more certain of what his senior brother had said: his junior sister had no emotional roots. What kind of being was born without emotional roots? He was truly puzzled. Or had her emotional roots been severed by some powerful being?
"Fellow Daoist Yu Ze, although we have made two transactions and I have not sensed any malice from you, a playboy like you had better not make a move on my second senior sister, or you will be ganged up on."
Ouyang Yanyu, far away in the land of demon slaying, sneezed several times in a row.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. She remembered her junior sister saying that sneezing for no reason meant someone was thinking of her. It must be them thinking of her, it must be.
Seeing Ye Sisi's serious face give up, Zhou Yuze wanted to say that he was not a playboy, but it was just a joke, and the more he explained, the more unclear it became.
“Ouyang Yanyu went to the Demon-Slaying Land after accepting a demon-slaying mission from the Youzhen Alliance. It’s easy to find out if you put in a little effort. If you want to find her in the Demon-Slaying Land, you can only do so by accepting a mission to go there. After all, not just anyone can take the teleportation array that leads there.”
Ye Sisi also put away the barbs on her body and smiled sweetly: "Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Yuze."
Zhou Yuze...
Women are indeed terrifying; their expressions change faster than turning the pages of a book. The more I look at that smile, the more fake it seems.
"Alright, I have to go now. I'll let you know if I find any news about those people. By the way, the Shadow Pavilion people will come back again, so be careful."
Ye Sisi and the other two clasped their hands in thanks. Regardless of Zhou Yuze's background, he had indeed helped them several times.
Although you shouldn't trust anyone too easily when you're out and about, you should remember the kindness of others and repay it someday.
Ye Sisi patted her slightly wrinkled robe and smiled sweetly at her two senior brothers: "Third senior brother, fourth senior brother, let's go pick up second senior sister and take her home."
