This conference left the alchemists with a complex mix of love and hate for Ye Xiruo!
Danfeng was once again kept behind, his fox-like eyes gleaming with a sharp light: "What are your orders, Young Master?"
"I'm going into seclusion to cultivate. I'll leave the rest to you. Can you handle it?"
Danfeng: ...Does he have the right to say no? Will the young master give him that chance? Of course not.
Ye Xiruo nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, I knew you would not disappoint me, nor would you disappoint Master."
Danfeng: ...I don't seem to have any say at all, okay?
Ye Xiruo didn't care about any of that and simply flicked her sleeves and left: "I'm going into seclusion. I won't see anyone, and no one can disturb me."
"I'll send people to guard Ye Ruo Palace, and I guarantee not even a mosquito will be able to get in."
Finally finished with her work, Ye Xiruo entered her spatial dimension that very night. The spiritual herbs inside had just sprouted and grown a few leaves. Ye Xiruo watered them with some spiritual water and jumped directly into the yellow spring water. Her brain cells had been severely depleted these past few days, and she didn't know how many had died. Yet, she was everyone's reliance and ultimate faith, and she couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake, otherwise many innocent people would lose their lives.
These past few days, she appeared relaxed and carefree, but her mind was constantly on edge, calculating the causes and consequences of every action and the potential outcomes of issuing orders. She also had to deal with emergencies, and with no one to rely on, she realized just how well her master, senior brother, and seventh brother had protected her.
However, this is her responsibility, and she will absolutely not shirk it.
Soaking in the spring water, absorbing its spiritual energy, and constantly restoring his mental strength, he fell asleep without realizing it.
She didn't know how much time had passed since she woke up. After wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, Ye Xiruo climbed ashore, tidied herself up, and prepared to see her master and the others.
This time, since there were no outsiders, it was naturally not as troublesome as last time. Ye Xiruo directly had the system send her to the vicinity of the Time Cultivation Room, and then she went in herself.
Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu have a contract. Xiu Qiyu sensed Ye Xiruo entering the space before, but Xiao Ye must have had something to deal with, so they didn't have time to meet. Unexpectedly, she came directly this time.
Xiu Xiu Qi Yu was also overjoyed. Without disturbing the Palace Master and Senior Brother, she went straight out.
It had been two months since Xiu Qiyu had seen Xiao Yezi, and he was quite excited. A bright smile spread across his handsome face.
"Brother Xiu Qi!" While Ye Xiruo was still struggling with her expression and clothes, she saw the person she knew so well that she cheered and pounced on him.
Xiu Qiyu laughed and picked Ye Xiruo up in his arms: "You've gotten heavier, looks like you've been sneaking some food lately."
Ye Xiruo puffed out her cheeks: "No, I'm eating openly and honestly, okay? Zhan Quan's cooking skills have improved a lot. You can eat it when you come out of seclusion."
Xiu Qiyu quietly held Ye Xiruo, feeling her familiar presence. Heaven knows how terrified he was when he realized something had happened to Xiao Yezi last time. It wasn't the fear of almost dying himself, but the boundless anxiety and worry of losing Xiao Yezi.
Now that this person was finally standing unharmed in front of her, this was more important than anything else. Xiu Qiyu's mind was completely blank, filled only with excitement and emotion.
"Tsk tsk tsk!" This jarring noise made Xiu Qiyu reluctantly put down Ye Xiruo and look back with an unfriendly expression.
Suddenly, the calm air was filled with the glint of swords. The two men faced each other blankly, countless small sparks exploding in the air. Their expressions were those of irreconcilable hatred, and it was unclear what deep-seated grudge they harbored.
Ye Xiruo tilted her head, watching her senior brother and Xiu Qi silently vying for dominance, and took out a cucumber from her spatial storage and started munching on it.
It seems that while she was away, Senior Brother and Seventh Brother got along quite well. She just needs to keep an eye on things from the sidelines.
Ten minutes later, the two shook hands and made peace, their smiles as genuine and radiant as could be. One might even believe they were long-lost brothers.
Ye Xiruo sighed, unable to understand.
After making peace, the senior brother pounced on her, saying, "Little Ye Zi, it feels like we haven't seen each other for sixty years!"
Xiu Qiyu was completely baffled. What was all this about?!
"Let go."
"I won't see you out. Junior Sister, how come you're already in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm? Has anyone bullied you on Saintess Peak? Did you even use those Youth Preservation Pills? And lastly, are you injured?"
Ye Xiruo finally managed to calm down her fragile heart, her senior brother, and escaped from his clutches: "I saw the Holy Maiden the day after I arrived. I can confirm that the Holy Maiden has no ill intentions towards me. She has some connection with my mother, and my parents may not be dead."
The sheer volume of information left both Xiu Qiyu and Zishu speechless for a long time.
"I'm doing great on Saintess Peak. My senior brother's Youth Preservation Pills have come in very handy, selling for tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, hehe!"
"Well done. If there's anything you can't handle, just use the Youth Preservation Pill. It's absolutely effective."
Ye Xiruo coughed and said, "The Youth Preservation Pill isn't a panacea. I ran into some trouble when I was picking Snow Crystals. I unfortunately encountered a Nascent Soul stage phantom beast and fell into the illusion it created. I almost couldn't get out. Thanks to Brother Xiu Qi, I was able to save my life."
"What's wrong with your face? It doesn't look like you've disguised yourself. It's as if your face was always meant to be this way."
"According to the Holy Maiden's speculation, it is possible that my parents, who have extraordinary abilities, placed a Wind Shadow on me. In the illusion, I accidentally broke the seal and then returned to my original form. I don't know exactly what happened."
"Little Yezi, you've actually turned misfortune into blessing. This face of yours will definitely raise the overall attractiveness of the entire Pill King Palace."
"Senior Brother, you flatter us. With Master and Brother Xiu Qi as our two most handsome men, our Pill King Hall is already able to stand proudly at the pinnacle of the continent, and no one can challenge us."
"That's true. I'm relieved to see you back safe and sound."
"How has Master been feeling lately?"
“Master suddenly had an epiphany a few days ago and then went into seclusion. This time he should be able to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm smoothly.”
"Really? That's wonderful." A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level is considered top-tier on the Heavenly Ranking.
