Just as the woman in plain clothes was about to signal the two old men behind her to take action, her expression suddenly changed. She seemed to have sensed something and turned to look in a certain direction.
Yun Zheng also looked in the direction of her gaze, and saw several figures appearing in the distant void. In less than a moment, those figures had appeared within the barrier.
Shockingly fast.
Yun Zheng's eyes darkened slightly. These mysterious people all came from the border.
She had previously searched the soul of a mysterious man who was on the verge of death. In that man's memory, the border existed at the junction of the Tianyin Demon Realm and the God Realm, and there were three major guardian families there, namely the Wanqi family, the Chu family, and the Huyan family.
Among them, the head of the Wanqi family was the culprit who caused the destruction of Tianshu Immortal Academy more than 600 years ago.
At this time, a male voice with a smile came slowly.
"Long time no see, Huyan Lingyun."
The woman in plain clothes is Huyan Lingyun. She is the granddaughter of the head of the Huyan family and the eldest daughter of Huyan Yushu.
Huyan Lingyun raised his eyes slightly and looked warily at the people who suddenly appeared in front of him. The young man in the lead looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. He was wearing a gold-plated brocade robe, with a tall and straight figure, a cold and unruly look, and long and narrow phoenix eyes. A faint smile was on his pink lips.
Huyan Lingyun still had a smile on his face. "Chu Minglei, your Chu family received the news quickly."
Chu Minglei smiled and waved his hands, "No, no, if our Chu family received the news faster than you, how could we be slower than your Huyan family?"
The conversation between the two was polite and seemed harmonious, but there was a subtle sense of confrontation.
Chu Minglei looked around and asked, "Who is Yun Zheng, the senior sister from Tianshu Immortal Academy?"
"It is me." Yun Zheng responded.
Chu Minglei's gaze suddenly fixed on Yun Zheng. He was stunned by her appearance and temperament for a moment, but then he regained his composure. He took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "It's like this. Our Master Chu wants to meet you, just to make friends."
His attitude and tone were easygoing, yet subtly conveyed respect.
Compared with Huyan Lingyun's attitude just now, Chu Minglei is more friendly, which makes people feel good about him.
Although Huyan Lingyun's tone was gentle, it was like a series of gentle knives, giving people a sense of oppression.
"Make friends?" Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows.
Chu Minglei smiled and nodded, "Yes, our master wants to get to know you and a few other friends. By the way, you don't have to feel burdened or worried. Our Chu family won't force you to do anything."
Before Yun Zheng could answer, Huyan Lingyun chuckled.
"Chu Minglei, everything should be based on first come first served. I haven't finished talking to Miss Yun yet, and you're just barging in. This... isn't good, right?" Although Huyan Lingyun was smiling, his eyes were sharp.
"That's true." Chu Minglei was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The next moment, he changed the subject slightly, "But this matter is different. I want to give Miss Yun and the others another choice."
Huyan Lingyun's smile faded a little. If the people from the Chu family had arrived a little later, Yun Zheng and the others would probably have gone back to the Huyan family with them.
But at this critical moment, an accident happened.
Chu Minglei turned around and asked with a smile, "Miss Yun, what do you think?"
Huyan Lingyun was a little anxious. "Miss Yun, I was inconsiderate just now. I have reflected on it carefully and would like to ask you to go with us to the Huyan family first to see the specific situation. If you want any benefits or resources, you can tell our master. If you are still not satisfied, we can send you back safely."
"Hmm? Did you get him back safely?"
Chu Minglei frowned, a look of doubt on his face. "How does the saying go? Well... a sheep in the tiger's mouth, there's no way back..."
Chu Minglei paused abruptly when he said this. He then looked at Huyan Lingyun with humility and laughed awkwardly a few times. "Sorry, I really didn't mean anything else, and I didn't mean anything against your Huyan family."
Huyan Lingyun kept smiling, but in his heart he wanted to slap Chu Minglei to death with one palm!
This guy Chu Minglei was clearly implying that what she said was not true!
Huyan Lingyun ignored Chu Minglei and stared at Yun Zheng, wanting her to give an answer.
At this time, the disciples of Tianshu Immortal Academy and Lian Pihou were reduced to background boards and did not even have a chance to speak.
They looked at their senior sister eagerly.
Yun Zheng slowly spoke, "We will go with whoever can guarantee the safety of Tianshu Immortal Academy."
When everyone in Tianshu Immortal Academy heard this, they were so moved that tears streamed down their faces.
Senior Sister is so nice!
Just ask, which immortal academy has such a strong, beautiful, and kind senior sister? !
Huyan Lingyun frowned when he heard this.
Chu Minglei raised his eyebrows, looking quite surprised.
Their main goal in coming to Langzhou was to recruit Yun Zheng and others into the family, but they did not think about taking into account the other disciples of Tianshu Immortal Academy.
After all, the leader of the Wanqi family specifically named a force to be destroyed, and the other two families did not want to get involved. However, with their family power, it was more than enough to protect Yun Zheng and others.
For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence.
Huyan Lingyun was obviously thinking, while Chu Minglei was staring at Yun Zheng with a smile.
Yun Zheng sighed softly, "If you can't protect my Tianshu Immortal Academy, then go back."
Huyan Lingyun slowly raised her head, smiled gently and said, "Miss Yun, your request is really a bit unreasonable."
"Is it difficult?" Yun Zheng smiled. She wanted them to give up. If they agreed, it would indeed be a good choice. After all, they were just going to the border and would not join one of the three garrison families.
Moreover, the Tianyin Demon Realm is right at the border.
They will eventually accompany Zhongli to the Tianyin Demon Realm to remove the curse on him and take back his original half of his soul.
Chu Minglei smiled and shook his head, "It's really difficult."
Then he continued, "Miss Yun, our Chu family just wants to invite you to be our guests. Don't you agree to this request?"
"You can be my guest." Yun Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "But not now."
Chu Minglei stopped insisting and said with a smile, "Just agree. If you can survive the next attack from the Wanqi Family, send a message to me. I will personally take you to the Chu Family as guests."
He handed a communication crystal jade to Yun Zheng.
"Okay." Yun Zheng accepted it calmly.
Huyan Lingyun frowned slightly. She wanted to forcibly capture Yun Zheng and the others, but the people from the Chu family were here, so she couldn't do anything.
At this time, Chu Minglei looked at Huyan Lingyun, smiled and said, "Huyan Lingyu, why don't we go back together?"
