A cool breeze was blowing and the moonlight was shining brightly. Su Xue and Ling Xi finally arrived at the gate of the Lin residence, but they hesitated.
It was already past midnight, clearly not a good time to visit relatives and friends. Having lived in the mortal realm for so many years, Su Xue naturally knew that women in the human world should not wander around aimlessly without a reason.
Mortals are quite attached to the concept of chastity. She doesn't mind, but will it have an impact if Ruyun gets married in the future?
Oh well, now that I'm back at Plum Manor, what's there to be afraid of not seeing him?
"Lingxi"
Su Xue ultimately did not step into the Lin residence.
"What, after spending so much time in the mortal realm, you've started to care about those mortal things too?"
I thought you didn't care about anything... I really didn't expect this..."
"What utter nonsense."
Having her thoughts guessed, Su Xue hurriedly tried to cover them up, but the blush on her face betrayed her.
"It's alright, let's go. Where do you want to go now?"
Lingxi suddenly lost all interest in guessing and just wanted to get away from this place.
"I know there's a Moonlight Inn in South Alley. Let's stay there for the night, and I'll show you some mortal delicacies. It'll definitely taste better than the cat food you eat in Heaven... oh no, I mean fox food... Aaaaaaahhhhhh..."
Lingxi picked up Su Xue and flew south; he had truly had enough.
Just after Su Xue and Ling Xi left, a man in black wearing a silver mask suddenly appeared at the gate of the Lin residence. He leaped a few times and arrived at the door of Lin Ruyun's bedroom. Just as he was about to push the door open, he was blocked by someone.
The two were locked in a fierce struggle in Lin Ruyun's courtyard, while Lin Ruyun, who was inside reading a travelogue she had found in a shop, was unaware of what was happening outside.
The two fought from the ground to the roof, and then from the roof into the air. The man in black was annoyed that his path was blocked and attacked fiercely, but his attacks were always easily neutralized. Just when he was about to be defeated, the man in black ran out of patience.
Unwilling to entangle himself any longer with a mortal who was like an ant in his eyes, he suddenly surged with power, tearing through the void and arriving in front of Lin Ruyun.
Yi Chongxie realized something was wrong and quickly gave chase.
Suddenly, Lin Ruyun was grabbed by the neck and unable to move.
"Let him go," Yi Chongxie said, waving his sleeve and covering the house with blue light.
"So you are one of them... I was mistaken. I don't remember offending you. Why are you blocking my way?" the man in black questioned.
"I don't care who sent you, get out of here right now."
Seeing that Lin Ruyun was unharmed (Lin Ruyun: My neck was almost snapped, and you call this unharmed? My dear brother, can't you be a little more demanding? He's your older brother, okay?), Yi Zhongxue said with relief.
"Haha, what a boastful tone!" A pig-like scream rang out as the man in black had his left arm chopped off at the shoulder.
Yi Zhongxie sheathed his sword, went over and hugged his terrified brother, comforting him:
"It's alright now. From now on, let Xie'er protect your brother, okay?"
Yi Zhongxie finally felt relieved. Although he had acted calmly, his heart was in his throat. His mother had found him so quickly.
Thinking of his mother, Yi Zhongxie frowned and tightened his grip on Lin Ruyun.
Seeing this, the man in black lying on the ground silently walked away.
Lin Ruyun's face turned a deep shade of liver from the sudden, unfamiliar embrace; she was incredibly embarrassed.
"Cough cough...cough cough...cough cough..."
Suddenly realizing he had been too forward, Yi Zhongxie hurriedly let go of his brother.
