Everyone who could talk had left, leaving only a few quiet, reserved people. No one seemed inclined to engage in much conversation. Fu Ziyi stood leisurely at the doorway, arms crossed and back against the wall, glancing occasionally at the room where Xu Yuehuai was.
Back in the house, Xu Yuehuai coughed violently twice. Although she had Qi Guze's help, the damage she had suffered these past few days was substantial, so it was normal that she hadn't fully recovered in a short time.
Seeing her like this, Bai Ze paced anxiously in the space, wishing he could come out right now and take the damage for Xu Yuehuai.
Fortunately, her condition wasn't too serious. She coughed a couple of times and stopped feeling uncomfortable. She sat on the bed, took a pill, and began to circulate her spiritual energy. A supernatural aura emanated from her body, and spiritual energy continuously surged into her body, which she accepted without hesitation.
She keenly noticed that her body seemed to be absorbing spiritual energy faster than before. The difference in speed was like night and day. Xu Yuehuai opened her eyes, looked at her hands, and had a vague guess in her mind.
Linghu Zhou woke up in the evening. When he opened his eyes and saw his surroundings, he thought he had arrived in the underworld. He was about to move to see what his surroundings were like when he heard a voice behind him interrupt him, "Don't move. If you move now and the treatment is interrupted, I won't be responsible."
If Xu Yuehuai were to see Zisangyi like this, he would surely say that he had returned to the time when he went to the third floor to pick her up. Xu Yuehuai had also been seriously ill back then, and he had the same expression, only more anxious.
Linghu Zhou stopped what he was doing, tilted his head, and asked with concern, "Senior, who are you?"
Linghu Zhou's memories of the past were not very clear. He only remembered seeing Xu Yuehuai trying to carry him away, but he couldn't hold on and fainted. He knew nothing about what happened after that.
Zisangyi did not reply, but he could feel the strength and speed of the spiritual energy being channeled to him by the person behind him. Linghuzhou closed his eyes again and began to refine the spiritual energy within his body without delay. However, when he circulated his spiritual energy again, he was surprised to find that he could circulate his energy much more easily than before. The cycle of circulation that he used to find difficult to understand was now done without any obstacles.
Before Linghu Zhou could figure things out, the force behind him increased, and he could only cooperate and continue to refine the spiritual energy in his body for another round. During the refining process, Linghu Zhou was so focused that he didn't even notice when there was another person in the room.
When he opened his eyes again, he found Xu Yuehuai standing beside him.
Xu Yuehuai had rested and wanted to come over to check on the situation. Finding that Linghu Zhou had already woken up, she didn't leave but stood by his side.
When the treatment was over, Linghu Zhou saw Xu Yuehuai, got off the bed, stood on the floor, and asked worriedly, "Are you alright? I'll take a final look..."
"I'm fine, but you look much more seriously injured than me. You should check if you're alright." Xu Yuehuai was always a very polite person and wouldn't interrupt others. Linghu Zhou was stunned for a moment, looked into Xu Yuehuai's eyes, and shut his mouth, not saying what he had just seen.
Zisangyi, being an old fox who had lived for so many years, was well aware of their little tricks. She watched from the side and smiled, choosing not to expose them. With her hands behind her back, she said leisurely, "Alright, there's nothing more for me to do here. I'm going to go out for a walk. I've been sitting here all day, and my back and waist are aching. You young people have it so good; you can sit still all day and nothing happens to you."
As Zi Sangyi spoke, he walked towards the door. He opened the door and went out. The two people waiting outside looked up and saw Xu Yuehuai already standing inside. They were surprised for a moment.
Only Baili Xiuwen remained calm. Half an hour earlier, he had sensed that the surrounding space was distorted, probably because someone had used a teleportation technique.
This technique is nothing special; as long as one's mental strength is strong enough, briefly shifting positions is the simplest operation.
Just as Fu Ziyi was about to step inside to ask Xu Yuehuai how she ended up there, Zisangyi came out and slammed the door shut, cutting off the world inside from the outside. Fu Ziyi looked at the old man with displeasure and asked, "Why did you close the door?"
Zisang rubbed her aching back and said irritably, "Closing the door is obviously to give them some private space to talk, so what?"
"It's dangerous for a man and a woman to be alone in a room, don't you know that? That's your disciple inside, don't you care at all?" Fu Ziyi got emotional and morally blackmailed Zi Sangyi as well.
Zi Sangyi was taken aback for a moment. He hadn't been thinking anything of it when he closed the door; he just assumed the two of them had something to say to each other alone, so he closed it without thinking. Now, he stood there with his hands on his hips, looking at the person in front of him who wasn't afraid of him at all and was even criticizing him righteously. "I didn't expect that you, despite your young age, would have so many ideas. How can it be that a man and a woman are talking alone in the house as friends? Your thoughts are all over the place; they're not on the right track at all!"
Fu Ziyi, who was inexplicably reprimanded, did not get angry. His eyes were cold, and he showed little respect for Zi Sangyi, the sect leader.
Zisangyi personally selected this child from the mortal realm, so she naturally knew what kind of person he was. She was too lazy to argue with him for the moment, turned around and left, not forgetting to add as she left, "Don't disturb them if they have something to say."
Fu Ziyi responded with a smile, a smile that carried a hint of gritted teeth.
Inside the room, Xu Yuehuai noticed that he was still standing and pointed to the bed, "Sit down and talk, you're still weak."
Linghu Zhou sat down properly, his eyes not wandering. He hesitated for a long time, wanting to ask the question, but worried that Xu Yuehuai didn't want to talk about it, and that it would be awkward if he asked. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't think of a good opening. If it were the old him, he wouldn't have thought so much. If he wanted to know something, he would have asked.
Xu Yuehuai noticed his embarrassment and understood why Zisangyi wanted to go out. She said directly, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
After hearing Xu Yuehuai's words, Linghu Zhou finally mustered the courage to ask the question that had been troubling him, "Are you an evil cultivator?"
