Chapter 758: The Cage
Yu Muhan smiled slightly: "No, I'm doing very well in the Holy Church, so don't worry."
Yun Fusang frowned: "You're lying."
As she spoke, she pinched her cheek with her fingers: "You've lost a lot of weight since then, what happened?"
Yu Muhan shook his head, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and squeezed her hand: "I'm really fine. The Holy Order has treated me very well... I have no worries about food and clothing here, and I've even learned a lot of light-elemental spirit master techniques..."
"It's just that I've been practicing too hard and haven't been eating on time, that's why you think I've lost weight."
Yun Fusang looked at her with some suspicion: "Really?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Yu Muhan smiled gently. "Let's not talk about me anymore. How are you all doing at the academy? Is everyone... alright?"
Xie Qingui walked to Yun Fusang's side and said to Yu Muhan, "Everyone is doing well. Although Xiao Fei isn't here, we've all been cultivating diligently. Rong Yu is advancing the fastest; he's already a Level Two Spirit Master. Fusang and I are also working hard to break through the bottleneck of Level Ten Spirit Master. As for Jing Shen..."
The young man paused here, then continued, "Jing Shen is currently in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and he hasn't stepped out of the sect at all... so we don't know how he's doing lately."
Yu Muhan pursed her lips. Jing Shen was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, while Xiao Fei was a member of the Demon Clan... This would inevitably make the Ten Thousand Swords Sect regard her as an enemy.
Not only the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but also the Holy Sect she is currently in is the same.
Yu Muhan roused himself and patted Yun Fusang on the shoulder: "Although Xiao Fei is far away, we must not let her down."
"Mu Han," Yun Fusang softly murmured her name, "We know you're about to become the Holy Maiden of the Holy Church. Answer me, will you be Xiao Fei's enemy?"
Yu Muhan shook his head firmly: "I will not be Xiaofei's enemy! I will always believe in her!"
Her answer was firm and resolute, and the unease that had been lingering in Yun Fusang's heart subsided somewhat.
I don't know what the future holds, but I'll just take it one step at a time.
The conversation between the three did not last long.
Yu Muhan couldn't remember the last time she had spoken so openly with her best friend.
Because of time constraints, Yun Fusang and Xie Qingui quickly climbed over the wall and left.
They traveled thousands of miles from Lingyun Kingdom to Wushuang Kingdom, and even risked entering the Holy Sect, all just to see Yu Muhan.
Yu Muhan watched the two leave, the relaxation on his face slowly fading after they were gone.
Now, she can only relax for a short while in front of her friends.
She hadn't forgotten that she was trapped in a cage, unable to break free or escape.
Yu Muhan's fists clenched so tightly within his sleeves that they cracked, his teeth clenched, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave to return to her room, she suddenly heard the sound of leaves rustling from the large tree beside her—
Yu Muhan's pupils constricted sharply with fear. She slowly turned around and looked up—
Murong Dan sat casually on a tree branch, his long legs dangling across his body. He propped one arm around his leg and rested his hand on his chin, his expression a half-smile as he stared at the girl below.
A cold sweat broke out on Yu Muhan's back, and his mind went blank: He had been in the tree the whole time?
If he'd been up in the tree for a long time, then he must have overheard her conversation with Fusang and Qin Gui...?
