That night, Cen Ji stayed by Yan Ying's side as usual and held her in his arms until she fell asleep.
Yan Ying's breath was originally calm in her sleep, but suddenly her shoulders trembled and she opened her eyes, her eyes full of fear.
"What's wrong?" Cen Ji asked softly.
He was not asleep to begin with, and was startled when he suddenly felt Yan Ying's movements.
Yan Ying looked around the bed in horror, but didn't see anything scary. Then she clenched the sleeves of Cen Ji's arms and leaned into his arms.
She had just had a dream in which she saw the dark figure standing beside her bed again.
This time she saw the shadow clearly. It was a woman's figure, with several huge tails swaying behind her.
She was still standing in front of her with her back to the moonlight, just like she was that night.
She couldn't see the appearance of the thing clearly, but she could see the corners of her grinning mouth and the fangs in her mouth that were white and glowed with blue.
"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare..." Yan Ying closed her eyes and huddled in Cen Ji's arms.
"What did you dream about?" Cen Ji reached out and gently patted Yan Ying's back, as if he was coaxing a baby.
"I dreamed that the demon from that day was standing beside the bed, looking at me and smiling at me..." Yan Ying said in a low voice.
"It's okay, it's just a little demon. No one can get close to you while I'm here." Cen Ji comforted softly.
He has ordered people to look for the trace of the demon that broke into the little ghost's room that day, but strangely, there is still no clue.
That demon is by no means simple, and its purpose is by no means pure.
Yan Ying nodded, hugged Cen Ji and fell asleep again.
......
Early in the morning, Yan Ying was awakened by the sound of voices outside the door. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She didn't have the heart to wake up Cen Jing who was sleeping, so she got out of bed alone.
"Hasn't Emperor Huizong of Yuan always been at odds with our sect? Why would he send his disciples to visit our sect?"
"Who knows what they are up to? I saw a group of Yuan Huizong's disciples entering the sect this morning."
"I heard that the leading disciple is Xu Zisheng, the successor disciple trained by Yuan Huizong's master. It seems that something big is happening this time."
"This person has been in the main hall for a while, why is there still no movement?"
Yan Ying opened the door and walked out of the room. After closing the door, she saw seven or eight disciples standing not far from her door, sitting in a circle and discussing something.
Yan Ying heard everything they said.
Her room was not far from the main hall, and in front of it was a tall Sutra Library, so it was a good place to watch the fun without being easily discovered.
"Senior Sister Yan." A sharp-eyed disciple among the disciples immediately saw Yan Ying standing at the door in red clothes.
"Have you finished your training?" Yan Ying frowned and put on a serious expression.
She was Ning Hai's direct disciple, and she had a very high level of comprehension and had reached the Nascent Soul stage. When Bai Huanzhi was not in the sect, many things needed her to handle, and she also did a lot of work as an inspector and invigilator, so these disciples naturally recognized her and were all very afraid of her.
"No..." Several disciples lowered their heads and dared not speak.
They clearly saw that several senior brothers from Yuankun Peak had gone to the main hall, so they dared to secretly come to Yuankun Peak to watch the fun. Why was Senior Sister Yan still in the room?
"Then go and practice!" Yan Ying said sternly.
Several disciples ran away in panic.
Yan Ying watched a few people leave and was about to go to the main hall to see what was happening, but her door was blown open by a gust of wind and Cen Ji walked out with his hands behind his back.
There was no one on Yuankun Peak at the moment, so Cen Ji naturally didn't have to worry about anyone seeing him.
"Senior Sister Yan is still as majestic as she was back then." Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying jokingly.
Why did he feel that the little ghost looked familiar now? His serious demeanor was somewhat similar to Ye Chenge back then.
He really shouldn't have left her for seven years. If she had always been by his side, would she have his shadow on her?
"You only know how to tease me." Yan Ying knew that Cen Ji had seen her scolding her disciple, so she became a little reserved. "Did I wake you up by being too loud?"
Cen Ji smiled and shook his head. He woke up when Yan Ying got out of bed.
"I just heard from them that Yuan Huizong's disciples came to the sect, and I was about to go and see what was going on." Yan Ying said, looking in the direction of the main hall.
Although Yuan Huizong and Guiyun Sect are both one of the five major sects, the exchanges between the two sects in recent years can be said to be very few.
Emperor Huizong of Yuan would not send anyone here for no reason.
"Go." Cen Ji smiled and watched Yan Ying walk into the main hall.
A burst of black mist suddenly appeared, and Cen Ji disappeared into obscurity.
On top of the high tower of the main hall, Cen Ji stood in black with his hands behind his back.
"My Lord." Qi Jiang appeared on his knees.
"Have you found out?" Cen Ji asked.
"Reporting to the Lord, the demon's aura was cut off near Yuan Huizong."
"Emperor Huizong..." Cen Ji lowered his eyes and looked through the ceiling at the people in the hall. "Even if I have to search Yuan Huizong from head to toe, I will find him for me."
"yes."
......
When Yan Ying entered the hall, she saw several people standing in the hall. Yuan Huizong's disciple stood opposite Ning Hai with his back to her.
"Master." Yan Ying bowed to Ning Hai.
Ning Hai glanced at Yuan Huizong's disciples, then looked at Yan Ying and nodded.
Xu Zisheng turned around and saw the woman in red standing next to him. Yan Ying turned around and gave him a smile.
Yan Ying remembered Xu Zisheng. She had met him in Fuzhou that year.
Xu Zisheng looked Yan Ying up and down, and considering Ning Hai's attitude towards her, it was not difficult for him to guess her identity.
So it had been so long since he'd gone to Fuzhou to repair the Demon Locking Tower? So long that the little girl from back then had grown into what she is now.
Yan Ying was dressed in red, with a faint smile on her face and a pair of bright eyes that showed shrewdness. "Senior Brother Xu, long time no see."
Xu Zisheng smiled and nodded. "It's been a long time indeed."
"Brother Xu, you came at the right time. Master is usually not in the sect." Yan Ying said.
The sect competition is about to begin, and there must be nothing good happening to him coming to Guiyun Sect.
Although Yan Ying was wary of Xu Zisheng in her heart, she still smiled politely.
"That's indeed a coincidence. My master heard that Sect Master Ning has been busy with the monster beast issue recently, so he wanted to do his part and ordered his disciples to send some spiritual weapons and magic treasures. I hope Sect Master Ning doesn't mind." Xu Zisheng said, turning around and giving a look to the disciple behind him.
Yuan Huizong's disciple handed the Qiankun bag around his waist to Bai Huanzhi.
Bai Huanzhi took the Qiankun bag.
"Thank you, Sect Master Qiu, for your concern." Ning Hai said politely.
The monsters of unknown origin have caused panic among the people of the entire Jiuzhou. Protecting the people and the safety of Jiuzhou is the responsibility of the sect. There are many sects participating in the investigation of the monsters, but Emperor Huizong of Yuan has not taken any action.
The reason Qiu Tianchuan sent his disciples to Guiyun Sect was probably not just to deliver spiritual weapons, but he probably wanted to use this as an excuse to test the bottom line of Guiyun Sect.
