Gu Linchen's eyes darkened: "Since someone wants to harm me, I'd like to see who will be the one to 'catch me in the act' later."
Gu Linchen rubbed his temples: "Let's go, come sit with me in the pavilion for a while, get some fresh air, and let the smell of alcohol dissipate."
Yunqi opened her palm, revealing a white pill: "I have a hangover cure here, do you want it?"
Without hesitation, Gu Linchen ate it, and instantly felt refreshed, the hangover headache disappearing as well.
Yunqi sighed, "This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is really not peaceful..."
Gu Linchen asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Yun Qi gestured with her lips, indicating that Gu Linchen should look in that direction.
Two elegantly dressed women seemed to be arguing. The woman in the pink dress, enraged, pushed the woman in the blue dress into the water… and watched as the woman in the blue dress struggled in the water… she looked on with satisfaction…
After a while, the woman's struggles in the water grew weaker and weaker. The woman in the pink dress wiped away her smile, put on a pitiful look, and began to shout, "Help! Someone help me! Sister! Hold on!!"
Yunqi: "That's so cruel. If no one comes to save them, someone will die."
Gu Linchen made a move to jump down to save the person, but Yun Qi stopped him.
Yunqi: "Don't you know that a woman's chastity is important? I'll go save her!"
Yunqi leaped into the water and swam towards the woman who had fallen in. When Yunqi picked the woman up, she fed her the Great Rejuvenation Pill and then dragged her to the shore.
Yunqi laid the woman on her back, cleared the foreign object from her mouth, and pressed on her chest until the woman vomited a mouthful of water and regained her breath. Only then did Yunqi stop the first aid.
Gu Linchen and Ying Yi walked over together, and more and more people gathered around. Ying Yi handed a blanket to Yun Qi, who draped it over the woman to prevent the stranger from seeing her body. As for herself, her dark clothes, apart from being a little wet, were not a problem.
The woman in the pink dress looked at Yun Qi, both shocked and furious: "Who are you?! Don't touch my sister! Let go of my sister!"
Yun Qi looked at the woman in the pink dress with a half-smile: "What, now you're defending your sister? Weren't you laughing quite happily when you pushed your sister down?"
The woman in the pink dress: "I didn't! I didn't push you, you're lying!!"
Yunqi looked at the surrounding crowd: "Where is this young lady's maid? Her mistress has fallen into the water, where is her maid?"
A maidservant hurriedly stepped out from the crowd: "This servant...this servant went to get the cloak for Miss..."
Seeing that the maid had nothing in her hands, Yunqi asked, "Oh, where's the cloak?"
The maid glanced nervously at the woman in the pink dress, then shrank back and lowered her head: "The cloak... the cloak..."
Yunqi found it annoying... Couldn't she just eat, drink, and have fun in peace? Why did she have to cause trouble!
Yunqi used [Soul Capture] on the maid: "Where did you go just now? Why did you leave your young lady alone?"
Maid: "The second young lady threatened me with my family, forcing me to obey her and to secretly leave the young lady during the palace banquet."
The woman in the pink dress became agitated: "You're lying! You're framing me! I..."
Yunqi was too lazy to listen to her and used [Soul Capture] on her as well: "Why did you push your sister into the water just now?"
"She deserves it! Why is she the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife? Her mother has been dead for so many years, and she's just a pitiful wretch in the mansion who gets bullied by everyone! But she's lucky; she's engaged to the Crown Prince... Father has already elevated my mother to a secondary wife, and I'm also a legitimate daughter!! If she dies, the engagement with the Crown Prince will be mine!"
Yunqi looked at everyone: "Did everyone hear me clearly?"
Yunqi helped the woman in the blue dress up: "Are you alright? Are you feeling any better?"
The woman in the blue dress nodded: "I feel much better, thank you..."
The woman in the pink dress snapped out of her daze, shocked by what she had just said. Although she had indeed thought it, she would never have said it aloud! She roared as she stepped forward, "It must be you! You used sorcery to make me say those things!!"
"Stubborn fool!" Yun Qi flung her away. "How boring! I'm going back!"
This was supposed to be a tourist destination, and Yunqi just wanted to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy herself. How did it turn into a world of "deceit and intrigue"?!
It's pointless, I might as well go back to the cultivation world.
Gu Linchen hurriedly asked, "Where are you going back to?"
"go home."
She tries to avoid using magic in the human world, but now that she plans to return to the cultivation world, there's no need to hide it anymore.
Yunqi used a spell to dry herself and the woman, looking refreshed as if they had never fallen into the water.
Yunqi loosened her hairband, letting her smooth black hair cascade down, revealing her stunningly beautiful face after removing her disguise.
Everyone stared at Yun Qi, somewhat lost in thought.
Yunqi looked at the stunned woman in the blue dress and said, "Don't be afraid. I saved you. I'm a woman, so you don't need to worry about your reputation being ruined. Live a good life. I'm going back now."
"Gu Linchen, Yingyi, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I'm leaving now."
Yun Qi summoned her natal sword, which floated in the air. She leaped onto it, glanced at the others, and then flew away on the sword...
Gu Linchen watched Yun Qi fly away until she disappeared from sight... and couldn't help but feel a little regretful...
I was too presumptuous... Chu Yunqi was already very averse to all that scheming and backstabbing, I shouldn't have brought her to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet... If I hadn't brought her, she wouldn't have left...
At this moment, Yunqi was no longer concerned with what the others were thinking.
Yun Qi increased her speed by flying on her sword and soon returned to Lingyun Sect to start a new life.
On her own mountaintop, Yunqi cultivated a plot of land, planting flowers, grass, and vegetable seeds she had brought back from the human realm...
Perhaps because the cultivation world is rich in spiritual energy, all the plants are growing vigorously.
