Xu Yuehuai returned to live on the sect leader's mountain peak. Everyone was happy and delighted to hear that she had woken up. Many people deliberately passed by her door just to say hello and visit their senior sister.
Xu Yuehuai was like a tourist attraction, still attracting visitors. When Fu Ziyi returned, travel-worn, he was furious to see her like this. He sneered and leaned against a tree, "You seem to be doing quite well here, managing to sell your smiles outside."
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Yuehuai turned around. Standing behind her were Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen. Fu Ziyi looked at her with a wronged and angry expression, as if he were in a state of unsatisfied desire. This made Xu Yuehuai smile for no reason. "You're back so soon. Did you run into any trouble when you went out?"
"How could that be? If something really happened, would I be able to come back alive to see you?" Fu Ziyi joked playfully.
The four of them walked together towards the mountain peak. Xu Yuehuai had come down the mountain today to look for information related to her symptoms in the library, but when she asked the Fifth Elder, he didn't know the secret either. The First Elder and the others didn't seem to care about it at all. Helpless, she could only temporarily give up investigating the matter.
Back on the mountain peak, Xu Yuehuai asked the question that had been bothering her: how exactly did they get back? Fu Ziyi frowned and replied, "To be honest, I don't know anything about it. I only remember that you and I were on the back mountain, and then we came down. I can't remember anything after that. But it's a strange feeling. It's not that someone made me forget, but that I felt it wasn't important, so I forgot. It's like when I'm doing something, I don't think about remembering the little details."
Fu Ziyi's description of the matter was somewhat fantastical. Baili Xiuwen, who was standing next to him, was also unaware of the situation and shook his head with a hint of confusion in his eyes. Xu Yuehuai looked at everyone's state and suddenly had some suspicions in his heart.
"I need to go out for a while. You two just wait for me to return within the sect. Don't go anywhere else." Xu Yuehuai looked at the two people in front of her with serious eyes and emphasized, "Especially after they return, don't let them leave. Urge them to come back as soon as possible."
After giving her instructions, Xu Yuehuai turned and left without packing anything. Shi Mu watched her leave in a hurry, still looking puzzled. Fu Ziyi, who was standing to the side, spoke first, "Hey, you've been by her side these past two days. Have you noticed anything strange? Like why she left?"
Fu Ziyi crossed his arms, his eyes filled with incomprehension and confusion. He couldn't understand Xu Yuehuai's actions.
The most common thought that came to mind was whether she had found some clues and was therefore leaving to investigate.
...
Xu Yuehuai's mind was in turmoil the whole way. All the clues told her that this matter was not simple. Why did everyone except her seem to have forgotten about this matter to some extent, and why did they not find anything strange after forgetting about it? This was the strangest thing.
Her purpose in this trip was to find Zi Sangyi. Although Xu Yuehuai did not know Zi Sangyi's exact location, she could guess his general direction. With this general direction, finding Zi Sangyi would not be difficult.
The surrounding area was sparsely populated, with endless mountains stretching as far as the eye could see. Xu Yuehuai stood at the foot of the mountain. Based on her experience of deliberately scouting Zisangyi's location, Zisangyi should be on the top of this mountain.
Before this, Zisangyi would always leave the sect's affairs to her and sneak away. Every time Zisangyi would sneak away and then come back and sneak away again, she would make a little thing and let the little thing follow Zisangyi to see where he was going.
However, they never managed to find the true destination; the furthest they ever reached was at the foot of this mountain.
Xu Yuehuai had just glanced down from the spirit boat and knew that it was impossible for anyone to live on this mountainside, so the only possibility was on the mountaintop.
Thinking of this, she wasted no more time. She leaped onto the treetop and moved forward step by step, her spiritual energy circulating wildly, and her position continued to advance.
When Xu Yuehuai saw a corner of the wooden house, she knew she had come to the right place. She quickened her pace and jumped up. However, as soon as she landed, a dangerous spiritual force struck her. Xu Yuehuai instinctively dodged.
Her eyes sharpened, and after dodging, she tried to find the source of the supply to launch a counterattack. But when she looked around, there was nothing there. The next second, a majestic and familiar voice came from behind the house, "Who dares to trespass on my property!"
Xu Yuehuai's thoughts of resistance subsided as she watched the person behind her walk out. When Zi Sangyi saw that it was her, her eyes showed disbelief, and her seriousness vanished instantly. "How did you find this place?"
Zi Sangyi sounded a little guilty as she spoke, especially since she didn't dare to look Xu Yuehuai in the eye. She awkwardly covered her mouth and coughed twice. "Come on in. Don't just stand here like an idiot."
As Zi Sangyi spoke, he began to welcome Xu Yuehuai into the room. His eyes betrayed his guilty conscience, and he seemed quite smug. Xu Yuehuai followed him, but her eyes were scanning the place.
Looking at where Zisangyi always went when she left the sect, and seeing the vegetables planted around the area and the way they were so well-managed, Xu Yuehuai really couldn't believe that this was her master who only worked sporadically. Zisangyi seemed to read her shock and said with a hint of pride in her eyes, "You didn't expect this, did you? I created all of this. I took great care of these vegetable gardens. It's practically a paradise."
Zisangyi seemed quite satisfied with the masterpieces she had created.
Xu Yuehuai didn't speak, and followed him into the house. However, the moment her eyes fell on the scene inside, she was instantly stunned. "This is... Sect Master Weisheng Liu?"
When Xu Yuehuai saw Wei Shengliu lying on the bed, she was a little hesitant to recognize her, after all, she had only met Wei Shengliu a few times, and so much time had passed.
I thought I had completely forgotten what Sect Master Wei Sheng Liu looked like, but now, upon seeing it, a flood of memories came rushing back to my mind.
Zi Sangyi had never intended to hide it from Xu Yuehuai. Seeing her so shocked was within his expectations. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped Wei Shengliu's hands and feet, but his eyes were filled with unconcealed loneliness.
