Chapter 111 Junior Sister Switches to the Path of Ruthlessness 22 Hands
"We parted hastily that day. Senior Sister Yun was still recovering from her serious injuries. I have come here firstly to visit Senior Sister Yun, and secondly to ask you seniors for some advice on the matter of falling from immortality."
Lin Yuwan was extremely humble and polite, and kind. Yun Chiyi stood beside Wu Si, glanced at him briefly, and then quickly looked away.
Those present, upon hearing "Fallen Immortal" again, once more wore expressions of bewilderment and astonishment.
The Qingming Sect Leader straightened his back, his eyes widening even further: "Are you sure that was the Fallen Immortal you encountered that day?"
Lin Yuwan hesitated slightly: "...This junior is not quite sure how to draw a conclusion, which is why I have taken the liberty of disturbing you today."
Sect Leader: "Please tell me everything you have seen, young friend."
Prior to this, the two had agreed on their story, and Lin Yuwan added some details to try to make the half-true story seem completely believable.
The council hall doors were tightly shut. Wan Qingyun dared not go back and waited outside the council hall. He strained his ears to listen, but could not hear anything. Wu Si's barrier was watertight, and with his cultivation level, he could not find the slightest flaw.
Wan Qingyun squatted from dusk until the night sky was ablaze with stars. He sat on the stone steps, hugged his knees, and couldn't help but fall asleep.
Inside the council chamber at this moment.
The sect leader of Qingming said with a solemn expression: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. If the Fallen Immortal has really appeared, we must not alert him and attract his attention. Junior Brother Wusi, I plan to send a few disciples to inform the other sects."
Wu Si looked back and said, "It's not time to launch the Hundred Flower Arrow yet. Senior Brother's idea is the most appropriate right now."
The other elders took turns recommending their disciples to go to other sects to deliver the message.
Under the watchful eyes of several men, Yun Chiyi realized that something was about to happen to her again.
Then, Wu Si said, "Chi Yi, you and the other nine senior brothers will set off for the Nine Immortals Sect tomorrow. You made a small grudge at the Star-Treading Banquet, so remember to be careful in everything you do."
Yun Chiyi took a half step forward, about to answer, but Lin Yuwan spoke first, "This junior feels that it is inconvenient to act with too many people. After Senior Sister Yun has rested for a while, this junior and Senior Sister Yun will go down the mountain to the Nine Immortals Sect together tonight."
The Qingming Sect Leader said with satisfaction, "Qingming has always had a deep friendship with Cangfeng, and this friendship has now been passed on to you juniors. So, I'll leave it to you, young friend Lin."
Wu Si looked at Yun Chiyi: "Chiyi, come to Master."
Yun Chiyi walked over slowly, and Wu Si whispered to her, "You have met the Fallen Immortal, which is why I sent you to persuade the Nine Immortals Sect. Your dantian is damaged, so don't be reckless in any situation. If anything happens, contact your master immediately. Even if you are at the ends of the earth, your master will have a way to help you."
Having learned her lesson, Yun Chiyi's dantian was no longer disturbed. She bowed her head before Wu Si and said, "Yes."
Thanks to Lin Yuwan's help, Yun Chiyi took advantage of the starry night to go out with him.
After leaving the mountain gate and walking along the path, Lin Yuwan walked ahead with his back straight and his steps light, making it easy to see that he was in a good mood.
Thinking of something else, he slowed his pace: "I heard that my senior sister risked her life to protect Wan Qingyun in the council hall."
Yun Chiyi gripped her sword and walked slowly: "If you say one more word, we'll go our separate ways."
Lin Yuwan shut up upon hearing this and slowed her pace to wait for her.
Deliberately, Yun Chiyi walked very slowly. She stopped and looked closely when she heard a noise in the grass. Lin Yuwan grabbed her hand, hooked her waist belt onto the sword that was suspended in mid-air, and the two of them took off and flew into the azure night sky.
A figure rolled out of the bushes and shouted into the air, "Senior Sister! Take me with you!"
Upon hearing Wan Qingyun's voice, Yun Chiyi subconsciously looked down. One hand covered her eyes, and Lin Yuwan pressed close from behind, coldly asking, "What are you looking at, Senior Sister?"
Yun Chiyi said, "It's nothing."
Lin Yuwan channeled her spiritual power and quickly left Qingming's territory.
His hands seemed to have forgotten to leave Yun Chiyi's waist, completely encircling her in his arms.
"hand."
Lin Yuwan said slowly, "Senior Sister's spiritual power was damaged, and I was doing this for her safety."
That's so sweet to say; he's really addicted to acting.
The long sword beneath her feet was blown by the wind. Yun Chiyi leaned to one side and instinctively grabbed his hand, as if she were asking him to hold her in her arms.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yuwan asked, "Senior Sister, are you tired and can't even stand up straight?"
Yun Chiyi used her elbow to push him away, and Lin Yuwan leaned back and then moved closer to her, pressing her whole body against his cool back.
He held Yun Chiyi's fingers, kneaded them at the fingertips, and then squeezed them again with great interest: "Why are your sword-wielding hands so cold?"
Yun Chiyi countered, "Were your hands burned by fire, or are they just hot? Your hands are so hot, your wrists are hot too, and your arms..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yuwan pulled her hand back and put it behind her back.
Yun Chiyi was puzzled and turned her head to look at his expression, but Lin Yuwan gently pinched her fair chin with her other hand, making her turn her head back.
Yun Chiyi insisted on watching, even though she wasn't allowed to.
But his grip was so tight it hurt her a little, so she gave up.
She stared at the flowing clouds ahead, and vaguely heard Lin Yuwan let out a sigh of relief.
Before dawn, the two rested for an hour in a small town, and then flew against the scorching sun and wind.
The next day, they finally arrived at a town near the Nine Immortals Gate.
Feeling a bit thirsty after their journey, the two stopped at a teahouse to rest.
Lin Yuwan poured two cups of tea and pushed them in front of Yun Chiyi: "One is slightly bitter, and the other has a sweet osmanthus fragrance. Senior Sister, please try which one you prefer?"
He smiled, clearly enjoying the time he spent alone with Yun Chiyi.
Yun Chiyi picked up the cup and tasted it, leaving the cup of hot osmanthus-scented tea beside her.
Whatever tea she drinks, Lin Yuwan will naturally drink the same tea.
A little later, a waiter came up to our private room and enthusiastically recommended the dessert: "Coconut cake, it has a sweet and refreshing taste. It's a specialty pastry from the coast, and you can't find it anywhere else."
"This one with red patterns is jujube paste cake, which used to be served at wedding banquets."
The waiter brought out another plate of rice cakes shaped like green flower petals, but Lin Yuwan stopped him from serving it.
"One plate of jujube paste cake, nothing else."
The waiter immediately said with delight, "Thank you for gracing us with your presence, sir."
Yun Chiyi's eyes lingered on Lin Yuwan. He didn't want to eat the pastries; he was simply persuaded by the waiter's words.
If the waiter brings out lotus seed cake and peanut cake, he'll definitely order one of each.
Lin Yuwan used a small plate to give a piece to Yun Chiyi: "Senior Sister, try it first."
Yun Chiyi's lips curled slightly, then quickly fell back so he wouldn't notice.
"I'm not hungry, you eat it yourself."
Lin Yuwan said calmly, "Then I'll save a portion for Senior Sister, so she can have another taste whenever she wants."
Yun Chiyi didn't answer. She pushed open the window and looked at the bustling crowd on the street. Her gaze went across the long street, then to the surging waves, and finally landed on the island in the vast sea.
The Nine Immortals Gate is surrounded by the sea; one must take a boat to get there.
Yun Chiyi snapped out of her reverie and asked, "Have you finished eating?"
Lin Yuwan ate slowly, dividing the jujube cake into four small pieces. She only finished one piece after a long while, and there were still three pieces of jujube cake left on the plate. At this rate, it would take her another half an hour to finish.
Yun Chiyi frowned: "Why are you dawdling?"
Lin Yuwan stared at the jujube cake and asked, "After delivering the message, Senior Sister, are you planning to go straight back to Qingming?"
Yun Chiyi: "That's how it is."
She tasted a hint of something, and a soft laugh escaped her lips. She looked leisurely at Lin Yuwan, who was bowing her head and remaining silent: "You can't bear to part with it?"
Lin Yuwan's eyelashes trembled, then he raised his head expressionlessly, but said nothing.
Yun Chiyi said, "Junior Brother's expression makes me think you really intend to marry me."
Lin Yuwan frowned, a dark look rising in her eyes, then suddenly smiled: "After talking for so long, Senior Sister still thinks I'm joking with you. It's because I'm not sincere enough and can't convince Senior Sister."
She stared at him for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Where did you get this idea from? Why do you want to marry me? I can't see any affection from you, and given your past record, my intuition tells me that you're trying to harm me again."
Lin Yuwan's smile faded, but his slight smile revealed no warmth in his eyes: "Senior sister is overthinking it."
Yun Chiyi leaned forward, looking directly into his eyes: "Am I really overthinking things?"
Lin Yuwan leaned closer: "What else would you think, Senior Sister?"
With a blink of her beautiful eyes, Yun Chi had an idea in mind, and her voice was as clear and melodious as music: "Junior brother, we have been through thick and thin together. If I really need a Daoist partner, you are definitely the first person I would consider. But now that the Fallen Immortal has been reborn and the Gu poison has not been eradicated, this is not the time to talk about this. If you haven't changed your mind by the time everything settles down, I will marry you."
After listening, Lin Yuwan first looked down at the pastries and tea on the table, then looked up at Yun Chiyi, who had a calm expression. He couldn't help but wonder if she had eaten something she shouldn't have, or if she was under some kind of spell, or if this was her new way of getting rid of him.
Seeing his ever-changing expression, Yun Chiyi was secretly delighted. See? No matter who puts on a sincere act of discussing marriage, the other will suspect that the other has ulterior motives. This is an unspoken understanding between the two that outsiders cannot comprehend.
Yun Chiyi had won back a round and was in a great mood. She stood up and ruffled his hair: "It's settled then. Right now, let's deal with the matter of sending a message to the Nine Immortals Sect."
Lin Yuwan did not dodge her hand, and there was no wariness in his eyes; all his emotions and distracting thoughts receded from his mind.
He looked at her quietly, knowing full well that she wasn't sincere in saying those words, but the hand on his head was no longer so cold, and he felt a warmth he hadn't felt in a long time. The pretense on his face and the calculations in his heart were all taken back to where they were.
Anyone can use words to intimidate others, Yun Chiyi withdrew her hand, her steps light as if she had won.
"It's time to go."
Her figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs as she walked down the corridor. Lin Yuwan slowly stood up, her gaze following the direction she went.
He suddenly realized how ridiculous his recent idea of turning her into a puppet was. A rigid puppet might be obedient, but it wouldn't be as vibrant as her.
Senior sister, junior sister, you shouldn't have said those words today... But since you've said them, whether you meant them or not, please don't regret them later.
