Chapter 107 Junior Sister Switches to the Path of Ruthlessness 18 Junior Sister
It took Yun Chiyi half a day to regulate the clashing forces within her body.
She slowly opened her eyes, but before she could get up, her vision went black and she collapsed again. Fortunately, Lin Yuwan caught her shoulder in time.
"Senior sister, it still doesn't work?"
She leaned against the wall, blood seeping from between her lips again. Her tongue was already familiar with the taste of blood, and even found it slightly sweet. However, the anger that had been weighing on her heart dissipated.
Lin Yuwan suddenly tightened his grip on her wrist, his eyes darkened, and he looked towards the door.
Yun Chiyi also sensed that someone was approaching.
The barrier woven from the Feather Bracelet should, in theory, be imperceptible to most people.
But we cannot let our guard down. Yun Chiyi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "I wonder who the visitor is."
As soon as he finished speaking, the barrier shook, and dark gas tried to get in from the air.
Yun Chiyi's eyes flickered as memories slowly unfolded in her mind, turning her usually composed face deathly pale.
"It is a fallen immortal."
Lin Yuwan flicked his index finger, and the hilt of the longsword appeared in his hand.
Yun Chiyi coughed and said, "Don't linger in the fight."
To confront a fallen immortal head-on is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock; the fact that he managed to escape back then was purely by luck.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Yuwan did not intend to fight. He put his arm around Yun Chiyi's waist and cut his palm to carve out a teleportation array in the ground.
He didn't use any orthodox techniques, and he didn't hold back at all in front of Yun Chiyi.
Yun Chiyi hooked her arms around his neck to avoid being swept away by the air currents in the formation. At the last moment, Lin Yuwan put away the Feather Bracelet and used her hands to protect Yun Chiyi's ears.
Nevertheless, Yun Chiyi still heard a chilling scream, the wailing of ten thousand ghosts, which swept around her like a whirlwind.
All that could be seen was pitch blackness, with no end in sight, except for the wailing of evil spirits that pierced the scalp and sent chills down one's spine.
The one who started the formation was Lin Yuwan. He quickly couldn't hold on any longer and leaned against Yun Chiyi, exhausted. His body was so heavy that Yun Chiyi was pressed down and fell into the formation.
Where is the other teleportation array?
With a loud "bang," the shockwave, like a sharp sword, sliced through a tree and startled countless birds.
Yun Chiyi and Lin Yuwan rolled onto the ground together, unable to control themselves, rolling several times in the grass before finally stopping when they crashed into a huge tree trunk.
Yun Chiyi placed her hand on Lin Yuwan's head. The impact felt like it was about to shatter her hand, but fortunately Lin Yuwan was unharmed, only unconscious.
Yun Chiyi weakly opened her eyes. In the azure sky, hundreds of birds flapped their wings, and towering willow leaves fell softly, some landing on her forehead.
These things look somewhat familiar...
She caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance and casually plucked a pale yellow wildflower. The bright yellow color made her eyes light up.
This is the back mountain of Chengming!
She helped Lin Yuwan sit up in disbelief. When she saw the ruins overgrown with weeds, she couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed Chengming, which had been burned by a fire.
The two places are thousands of miles apart, and Lin Yuwan really didn't care about her life to be teleported over like that.
Ignoring everything else, she struggled to her feet and pulled Lin Yuwan close to her.
He had almost lost all consciousness, his long eyelashes drooping like raven feathers, his body pressing heavily on Yun Chiyi's shoulder. The houses in Chengming were all burned down, leaving no place to shelter from the wind and rain, but the cave where he had secluded himself should still be there.
Half an hour later, Yun Chiyi finally dragged Lin Yuwan into the cave and placed her in the spot where Chang Heng used to meditate.
"Chang Heng always says this spirit stone can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but I don't have any extra spiritual power right now. Lin Yuwan, you'd better step up your game."
Lin Yuwan lay there motionless, as if she were asleep.
Yun Chiyi felt unsafe seeing the cave entrance wide open. She wanted to go over and activate the defensive barrier left by Chang Heng, but half of her body slid off the stone bed and a strong hand grabbed her belt.
She turned to the side, and Lin Yuwan opened her bloodshot eyes, asking in a low voice, "Where are you going, Senior Sister?"
Yun Chiyi offered a helpless explanation.
Lin Yuwan touched the stone that had fallen from the stone bed and quickly threw it out. The stone, carrying spiritual energy, struck the array's core, and golden light spread throughout the entire cave.
“Sit here.”
Yun Chiyi lifted her foot and sat down, but Lin Yuwan hadn't loosened her belt yet.
"Let go of my hand. How are you going to mobilize your spiritual energy like this?"
Lin Yuwan said, "Why not?"
His voice was trembling as he spoke, and Yun Chiyi could tell that he was putting on a brave face. She didn't argue with him verbally, but she pressed down on Lin Yuwan's fingers and forced him to let go.
During the tug-of-war, Yun Chiyi's collar was pulled open, revealing her snow-white collarbone.
Lin Yuwan immediately let go of her hand and looked away.
So much had happened in a single day that Yun Chiyi had forgotten his evasive gaze a few days ago. His current actions reminded her that he seemed to be hiding something from her.
I'll ask again when I have the chance.
He sat with his back to Yun Chiyi in meditation, while Yun Chiyi sat on the stone bed, silently observing the cave.
The pond directly opposite the stone bed had dried up, revealing a cracked bottom. Withered hibiscus flowers drooped their branches, some lying haphazardly in the water.
The stone wall is now covered with dense spider silk, which has buried the moss that once grew there.
Everything felt both familiar and strange.
Yun Chiyi sat there until dawn. Lin Yuwan behind him finally stirred. He opened his eyes and saw that Yun Chiyi had maintained the same posture as before, without moving an inch. A complex mix of emotions lingered in his eyes.
"They probably never expected that we would come back to clarify things."
Yun Chiyi sat facing him and then said, "Since I disappeared from the Flower-Picking Banquet, the Qingming Sect will definitely send people to inquire everywhere. Why not take this opportunity to reveal the matter of the Fallen Immortal appearing in the world to the three major sects?"
She frowned: "However, the power of the fallen immortals is too great. Ordinary messages might expose us. I will personally deliver the message back to Qingming tomorrow."
Lin Yuwan clutched her chest and coughed incessantly: "I understand that Senior Sister wants to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, but have you ever thought that now that you and I are seriously injured, if we step out of Chengming and expose our whereabouts, neither of us will survive."
He coughed up blood, his slender fingers pressing against the jade-white stone bed.
"The Fallen Immortal didn't just appear today, so there's no rush to deliver the message right now."
He spoke slowly, but those two sentences seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Blood was dripping from his pale palms, flowing down the lines on the stone bed.
"Alright, stop talking."
Yun Chiyi grabbed his hand and searched for hemostatic medicine in her Qiankun bag. She opened the bottle and poured some powder on it.
Lin Yuwan clenched her fingers and asked, "Senior sister, what kind of medicine is this? Why does it hurt so much?"
The tortoise shell was mixed with several medicinal herbs. Yun Chiyi did not feel any pain when she used it. She lowered her head and gently blew on his wound.
"Blow on it and it won't hurt anymore. You're in a bad situation, so just bear with it."
Lin Yuwan relaxed her brows, her gaze fixed on Yun Chiyi's indifferent eyes, and said half-jokingly, "Senior sister always tells me to be patient."
Yun Chiyi countered, "Otherwise, is there any other way?"
She tore off a corner of her skirt and casually bandaged him a couple of times. Lin Yuwan sat there, her long hair falling over her shoulders. He moved his palm and suddenly smiled, "Senior Sister, this is clothing woven from silkworm silk. It's a bit of a waste."
Yun Chiyi was still wearing Qingming's disciple robes, his blood had long since stained her body with bloodstains.
Turn your back.
Lin Yuwan asked, "What?"
Yun Chiyi said, "I need to change my clothes."
Lin Yuwan turned around as instructed, her fingers on her knees slowly clenching the fabric beneath her.
In a short while, Yun Chiyi used magic to change her clothes, looking refreshed and dressed in her usual colors. Amidst her utter embarrassment, she felt somewhat comfortable.
She also cast a dust-removing spell on Lin Yuwan.
Although it was already dawn, neither of them could sleep soundly that night, and Yun Chiyi felt sleepy for the first time in a long time.
She lay down on the stone bed, closed her eyes, and intended to simply take a nap.
She slept soundly, with Lin Yuwan's gentle breathing behind her, which inexplicably made her feel at ease.
Exhausted, she slept for a long time and didn't even notice a warm arm wrapped around her waist.
She cleared her throat and woke up. When she saw the light gauze curtains, she frowned. Wasn't she in the cave with Lin Yuwan? How did she end up in bed?
The familiar soft pink color, the large, soft bed, and the exquisite wooden boxes on the wooden shelf diagonally opposite, from which wafted the sweet aroma of candied fruit.
She was familiar with all of this.
She sat on the bed in a daze when a figure appeared outside the door and slowly knocked on the door frame.
"Junior Sister, are you awake? Master is emerging from seclusion today, and we should all go to welcome him."
Upon hearing that gentle voice, Yun Chiyi was startled.
It's Bai Qi.
She instinctively reached for her sword, but only touched a peach blossom on the table, causing her gaze to freeze.
"Junior Sister, why are you still so sleepy?" Bai Qi urged again.
In the brief moment of her daze, Yun Chiyi forgot to think about these illogical things. She quickly put on her shoes, opened the door, and saw the handsome Bai Qi standing by the door, smiling at her.
"You've forgotten the time again, haven't you?"
Yun Chiyi casually responded and walked out the door, bumping into her other senior brothers.
"Junior sister, you can't sleep in until the sun is high in the sky."
Without hesitation, Yun Chiyi replied naturally, "What is Seventh Senior Brother holding in his hand?"
Seventh Senior Brother waved his hand at the grass cage: "A few spiders ran into the small kitchen and wouldn't leave no matter how hard I tried to chase them away. It took me a lot of effort to catch them. Master told us not to kill living beings indiscriminately, and I was just about to send them outside the mountain gate."
Seventh Senior Brother took a few steps and then turned back to remind her, "Don't leave the bowl in the sink after you finish your sweet porridge, or you might attract something bad next time. I have to hurry over, or I'll miss Master's coming out of seclusion."
"I've got it," Yun Chiyi replied softly.
The sun was shining brightly today. She and Bai Qi walked side by side in the breeze. The peach blossoms on the hillside were in full bloom, their fragrance filling the entire Chengming area.
Upon arriving at the training ground, I saw several senior brothers sparring, their swords flashing, each move a delight to behold.
Yun Chiyi stopped and looked around for a while before asking, "Where's Lin Yuwan?"
Bai Qi replied, "He went out to gather herbs and won't be back until dark."
Yun Chi nodded thoughtfully.
