The person who appeared behind Bai Yichen was named Yun Feng, and he was Bai Yichen's bodyguard.
Having followed Bai Yichen for many years, she also knew Jun Liuyue from her previous life.
"Yes, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone," Bai Yichen instructed, then paused and added, "especially not to the people of the Divine Realm."
"Yes, young master, but the Holy Venerable and his wife have already urged you to return to the Holy Domain."
I've been out for two months now.
Ever since Bai Yichen learned that Liu Yue was still alive, he immediately left the Holy Domain and waited there for two months.
I've finally waited for her!
Yunfeng saw all of this.
Yunfeng knew that the person his young master truly wanted to marry was not the current Divine Realm Empress.
It was Jun Liuyue.
However, if the Holy Venerable and his wife knew that Jun Liuyue still existed in the world, they would definitely not let it go.
“Push it a little further,” Bai Yichen said in a deep voice. “Just say I’m in seclusion and haven’t come out yet.”
“But…” Yunfeng hesitated, but seeing that his young master was determined not to return to the Holy Domain, he had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words.
＊
The assassins who went to intercept Jun Liuyue were all wiped out, not even a trace was left!
The Long and Ye families temporarily stopped their pursuit of Liu Yue. With Liu Yue's cultivation level, even if she survived, she couldn't possibly kill all the people they sent!
There might be an even more powerful figure behind this person.
The second round of the competition began three days later, and for those three days, Liu Yue did not appear in the public eye.
There was much discussion about it among the public.
Suddenly, a peerless genius appeared, but after gaining fame, he suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Everyone was speculating whether Liuyue would appear at the competition three days later!
Some even speculate that Ryugetsu has already been poisoned.
"My second uncle knows someone who works in the Long family. After the first round of the competition, all three major families sent people to recruit this Jun Qing!"
"And then? Which family did Jun Qing choose to submit to?"
"Submit? Hahaha." The insider seemed to have heard the biggest joke, and gave a mysterious laugh: "Not only did Jun Qing not submit, but he also killed all the envoys he recruited! The envoys sent by the Ye family were none other than the Third Young Master Ye, and they all died at his hands!"
"Hiss!" The listener gasped. What an arrogant brat!
Ye San is a member of the main family!
He actually dared to kill? This feud is now truly set in stone!
"Yes, the Ye family is now frantically searching for Jun Qing, wishing they could grind him to dust!"
"He probably won't dare to come to the match three days from now."
"Who would dare come here? Coming here would mean certain death!"
"In all my years, I have never seen such an arrogant person!"
Too arrogant and overbearing!
No matter how capable you are, you still have to obediently bow your head in the face of your family's power!
Countless cultivators would rack their brains trying to gain the favor of a family, but Jun Qing has been recruited by three major families at once. He only needs to choose one at random, and he will surely rise to prominence in the future.
But somehow—he just can't seem to see things clearly.
It seems that geniuses rise quickly and fall just as fast!
As everyone chatted amongst themselves, Bai Yichen, inside the private room, took a sip of tea.
He could hear all the conversations outside.
This was the Liuyue he knew, still as unruly as ever.
When he first saw Liuyue, he was drawn to her cold, emotionless eyes. Later, when he learned that Liuyue might be his fiancée, he felt neither joy nor resistance.
If—if he had chosen to believe Liuyue that time, Liuyue would not have fallen into the formation.
Thinking back on the past, he and Liuyue had shared tender moments...
The image of those cold eyes from last night flashed through his mind, and his heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, a sharp, throbbing pain.
Outside the private room, people were still talking loudly, while inside the room was completely empty.
In the past few days, Liu Yue has sealed herself within the formation.
Gu Chuan knew that Liu Yue had single-handedly offended the three major families completely.
Jing's hair stood on end even more. Although his Ghost Sect was unique in the Azure Dragon Realm, it didn't have to go against the three major families!
But—he dared not interfere with his great-grandmother's actions.
Gu Chuan spent two days in anxiety, but the family revenge he had imagined did not materialize.
It was as if the killing of the envoys from the three major families had never happened;
At this moment, Liu Yue is inside the space, where time flows many times faster than outside.
Three days have passed outside, but three months have passed inside!
Meanwhile, Liu Yue's cultivation level increased by leaps and bounds. When Gu Chuan saw the changes in Liu Yue's aura after she came out of seclusion...
"Spirit Emperor Realm?" Gu Chuan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This time, Gu Chuan had already cleaned up the mess.
Although the clothes were still patched, they were clean and had a unique charm!
Liu Yue never expected that the slovenly Gu Chuan was actually a pretty boy.
"His eyes are about to pop out." Liu Yue walked past Gu Chuan.
"Cough cough cough." Gu Chuan rubbed his eyes. "Ancestor, your cultivation level... has increased way too fast!"
"Hmm? I happen to be short of a target, maybe you can give it a try?" Liu Yue flicked her wrist, looking at Gu Chuan with an ambiguous expression.
Stared at like that, Gu Chuan felt his hair stand on end and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, let's not! By the way, today is the second round of the competition, there are plenty of targets on the field!" And they're free targets!
After speaking, Gu Chuan silently lit two incense sticks in his heart for today's contestants and observed three seconds of silence—
Outside the door.
Gu Chuan's men hurried over.
"Sect Master, someone requests an audience with the Ancestor."
The subordinate glanced at Liu Yue, but the powerful aura made him quickly lower his head.
He said his name was Bai Yichen.
"Bai, Bai, Bai, Bai Yichen?"
In the entire Nine Provinces Continent, who else is named Bai Yichen? Isn't it that one from the Nine Provinces Profound Heaven Realm?
Gu Chuan looked stiffly at Liu Yue, "Ancestor, shall we meet?"
"Let him wait." Liu Yue didn't care at all. Now that she had been discovered, she wouldn't hide it anymore. However... she didn't want to see Bai Yichen either.
She left the Ghost Sect from another location and headed straight for the capital square.
"Wait?" Yun Feng's expression changed slightly. This Liu Yue was being far too disrespectful!
He whispered, "Young Master, just give the order, and I will destroy this dilapidated Ghost Sect."
Yunfeng glanced around disdainfully; the place was dilapidated and could be easily destroyed.
“If Liu Yue says to wait, then we will wait,” Bai Yichen said in a deep voice, walking to the stone table and sitting down.
Yunfeng was indignant on behalf of his master, "Young Master, this woman is simply ungrateful! Does she think she's still the same Goddess from the Divine Realm she used to be..."
"Yunfeng!" Bai Yichen reprimanded Yunfeng in a deep voice, looking at him with displeasure: "In my eyes, she has always been the same."
