Yu Ze was probably genuinely worried that Xu Yuehuai and the others would shamelessly ask him for things, so he left quickly, as if some ferocious beast was chasing him.
At this moment, Xu Tian was preoccupied with the fact that Yu Ze was going to give him cultivation resources, and he had no time to make things difficult for Xu Yuehuai and the others.
After everyone left, the group sat down to rest. Baili Xiuwen said to the side, "I won't be attending your gathering tomorrow. Tomorrow is a rest day for the sect, and I need to go out to buy some things."
Xu Yuehuai looked up and saw that the young man had delicate features and a unique coolness in his eyes. When he didn't speak, almost no one noticed him, but when he spoke, everyone unconsciously turned their attention to him.
Xu Yuehuai became interested in this day off. She had very few talismans left and would have to go out to buy more. "Can all the disciples go out?"
Baili Xiuwen nodded. "That's what I understand. Now, depending on your thoughts, if you also want to go out, we can all go together. But if you want to stay and celebrate, I'll go ahead by myself. You don't need to wait for me."
To celebrate Xu Yuehuai's recovery from his serious illness, everyone planned to cook a delicious meal at the sect. Xu Yuehuai thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we all go out to eat? It's on me."
"But there's so much miasma outside, how are we going to get out?" Ji Yuanchi asked, puzzled.
Baili Xiuwen said, "The sect's second elder will step in to keep these miasma away for one hour, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening. As long as you return within the specified time, you will be fine. If you don't make it in time, you will have to find your own way back to the sect."
Everyone was excited after Baili Xiuwen finished speaking.
The only time I went out to explore this place was a few days ago, and there's really nothing good in that border town. The only interesting thing is the auction.
...
The next morning, the group dressed neatly and went out. They met Yu Ze and his group at the door. Yu Ze's followers had changed. One was Xu Tian, and the other was someone they were familiar with—Li Cheng.
Li Cheng was able to follow Yu Ze thanks to Xu Tian's recommendation, and of course, his own flattery also played a part.
Li Cheng's attitude towards Xu Yuehuai and the others was different from usual; he was arrogant and haughty, making everyone itching to take action.
After Yu Ze returned to his sect, he got along quite well with those people from the lower realms whom he had repeatedly looked down upon. Fortunately, he didn't cause any more trouble, and Xu Yuehuai and the others were happy to have some peace and quiet and didn't want to bother with this group.
As they passed by, they were interrupted by a voice. It was Xu Tian: "Hey, why didn't you stop to greet your senior brother? Don't you have any manners?"
Xu Tian barked like a lapdog.
Xu Yuehuai and the others didn't even turn their heads, continuing to walk forward without stopping. Behind them, Yu Ze's face darkened, his eyes seeming to burn with some kind of fire.
Xu Tian was about to say something when Yu Ze caught a glimpse of someone walking towards them out of the corner of his eye and stopped him, "Enough, don't talk nonsense, it's embarrassing!"
Xu Tian shut his mouth, unaware of what he had done wrong to anger Yu Ze.
Yu Ze walked to the side, where a woman stood. Her whole body seemed boneless, as soft as water, perfectly embodying the idea that women are made of water.
"Junior Sister Qi, are you going out too? Alone?" Yu Ze's voice was very gentle, and the way he looked at Shangguan Qi was as if he were dealing with a fragile object.
Shangguan Qi smiled slightly, her eyebrows curving upwards, her eyes filled with tenderness, "Yes, Senior Brother, are you going to protect me and be with me?"
Seeing her like this, Yu Ze felt a huge wave of joy wash over him. Xu Tian, who was standing to the side, had never seen such a lovely girl before, and his eyes were glued to Shangguan Xi, unable to look away.
As Yu Ze turned to leave with Shangguan Xi, he witnessed this scene. He glared fiercely at Xu Tian and said, "I advise you not to look at things you shouldn't! Don't have any ideas you shouldn't have! Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
Yu Ze lowered his voice, not wanting Shangguan Xi to see this side of him.
Shangguan Xi was happy to cooperate.
They were walking fast and soon caught up with Xu Yuehuai and the others who were walking ahead.
Fu Ziyi was jumping around in front of Xu Yuehuai, and Nangong Yu was standing next to her at some point. The man was elegant and charming, slowly waving a jade fan in his hand, looking down at Xu Yuehuai, his eyes and heart filled with her image.
These five people were quite carefree. Ji Yuanchi and Pu Erge, being siblings, were focused on Fu Ziyi. Only Baili Xiuwen, who was following behind, naturally noticed the different look Nangong Yu gave Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai didn't pay attention. She was out having fun and was relaxed. This non-aggressive gaze failed to attract her attention.
Yu Ze saw Nangong Yu and Xu Yuehuai hooking up behind him and sneered, "Junior Sister Qi, don't be like her. She's so shameless. I don't know what methods she used to make the two elders obey her every word. Now she even has Senior Brother by her side. Look at how hard-working and obedient Senior Brother is. It's an insult to civility!"
Yu Ze vented his frustrations in a few words, disregarding the actual relationship between Xu Yuehuai and Nangong Yu; his subjective opinion defined the whole affair.
A hint of mockery flashed in Shangguan Xi's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and she transformed back into the sweet junior sister. According to the time she entered the sect, she had entered the sect much earlier than Yu Ze, but because of this ridiculous rule of seniority, Yu Ze was the second elder's disciple, so Shangguan Xi had to call him senior brother with resentment.
Li Cheng followed behind, saying little and remaining silent, perfectly playing the role of someone who appeared only when Yu Ze needed him and acted as a background figure when he didn't.
"Really? But I don't think Junior Sister is that kind of person." Shangguan Xi covered her mouth, her face full of doubt and disbelief.
Seeing this, Yu Ze said whatever came to mind to convince Shangguan Xi, "How could I not believe you? Xu Yuehuai has been in the sect for a long time. Nangong Yu is not someone who is easy to approach. What kind of innocent rabbit would someone be to make Nangong Yu show such a look in her eyes?"
Yu Ze said anxiously, afraid that Shangguan Xi would be deceived, "You must not be fooled by this woman, all of them are bad people."
Yu Ze said this with an air of seriousness.
Shangguan Xi responded with a smile, without saying much. If she hadn't seen Nangong Yu display his peacock-like prowess in the library, she might have believed it to some extent. But Nangong Yu was a man who only cared about strength. He saw future potential in Xu Yuehuai, which was why he showed her such admiration.
