Return of the Saint
Mu Qianyu was extremely confused, and Fang Jinghe was also very anxious. They searched for a long time in the snow and ice, but could not find any trace of the ladder.
"How could this happen? Isn't Xiaoyi here?" Mu Qianyu was worried.
Fang Jinghe had another idea, "Perhaps, the punishment she received was different..."
The two men thought of something at the same time. They searched each ice prison one by one and finally saw a ladder in a secluded corner.
Fang Jinghe rushed forward and opened the ice prison. The ice cone punishment had stopped. Yunti fell to the ground. There were so many blood holes on her body that Fang Jinghe trembled all over. He carefully picked up Yunti.
"Xiaoyi!" Mu Qianyu exclaimed.
Yunti opened her eyes weakly, and was a little surprised to see Fang Jing and her, but her heart was also touched. She moved her lips towards Mu Qianyu, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.
Mu Qianyu didn't dare touch her, for fear of disturbing any wounds. "Don't talk, we'll take you away first."
Fang Jinghe carried the ladder out of the valley, and Mu Qianyu followed closely.
Outside the Cold Prison Valley, A'li saw two people coming out, and Yunti was lying dying in Fang Jinghe's arms.
Seeing Yunti covered in blood, Ah Li burst into tears in fear: "What's going on? I've never seen a saint so badly injured!"
"Stop talking now. Go get some medicine. I'll take her back to the bedroom first." Fang Jinghe said to A'li. He could feel that the person in his arms was very weak, as if she would die at any time.
"Yes, yes, yes!" After hearing this, Ali ran away in a panic.
Yunti was on the verge of coma along the way. She remembered many things and her tears flowed like a kite with a broken string.
Fang Jinghe had never seen An Luoyi so vulnerable, and he couldn't bear to see her crying.
The two of them returned to Chaoyun Palace with the ladder. Mu Qianyu said to Fang Jinghe, "You go out first. I'll handle it."
Fang Jinghe nodded slightly and placed the ladder on the bed.
Yunti's injuries were heartbreaking. Mu Qianyu couldn't bear to look at her after taking off her clothes. There were too many scars on her body, which made people feel distressed.
A'li brought the medicine for the wound, and Mu Qianyu was beside him, transferring her magical power to the cloud ladder.
Half an hour later, Yunti regained consciousness. Her face was still pale, but much better than when she had just left the Cold Prison Valley.
"Qianyu..." Yunti shouted weakly.
Mu Qianyu heard Yunti shouting and moved closer: "What's wrong?"
Yunti shed tears: "I am not her..."
Mu Qianyu didn't react as Yunti had imagined. She simply said calmly, "I know, so what?"
Yunti's mind was blank. All her words turned into silence at this moment, and only her heart was wrapped in endless tenderness.
Mu Qianyu came out of the room and didn't expect Fang Jinghe was still there.
"She is not An Luoyi." Fang Jinghe's eyes were firm.
Mu Qianyu's mind felt like a string had snapped, and panic crept up her scalp from all directions, but she still pretended to be calm: "What are you talking about?"
Fang Jinghe stood there, his back straight. "She doesn't have any spiritual power. Although I'm usually idle, I'm not really useless. I know what kind of person An Luoyi is."
Mu Qianyu wanted to gloss over the matter, so she said vaguely, "I can't explain this to you clearly, but she is An Luoyi."
"I don't believe it. You must be hiding something from me." Fang Jinghe said resolutely.
Suddenly, Yunti's voice rang out from inside the room: "Qianyu, let him in."
Fang Jinghe pushed the door open and walked in. He asked with concern, "How are you?"
Yunti coughed and said, "I'm fine. You guessed right, I'm indeed not An Luoyi, but I would like you to keep this matter secret."
Yunti looked at Fang Jinghe with clear eyes. Although her words were full of requests, her eyes were devoid of pleading. She had just been talking with Mu Qianyu in the house, and Yunti had thought about it. This woman, who looked like her, had saved her after all. Although she didn't know where she was now, Yunti wanted to help her hide her tracks.
"Why, don't you want to be yourself?" Fang Jinghe said.
Yunti thought he disagreed, so he said coldly, "I have my reasons for doing this, and if it weren't for your prank, I wouldn't be punished at all."
Fang Jinghe felt as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart, pressing on his chest and making it hard to breathe. Yes, if it weren't for him, she would not have been punished. It was all his fault.
"You have your decision, and I also have my reasons to help you. I will keep my mouth shut." Fang Jinghe looked at her with such sadness that Yunti couldn't bear to look at him.
Not only Yunti, Fang Jinghe was also injured in the Cold Prison Valley. He had been trying hard to hold back, but now he couldn't suppress the attack any longer.
Seeing this, Yunti said, "The cold air in the Frost Prison Valley can damage your meridians. You should go back and check your injuries first."
Fang Jinghe had no reason to stay here. He turned and left with a look of guilt in his eyes. "Can I know your name?"
Yunti hesitated and said, "Yunti - cloud in the sky, ladder to ascend high."
"Ladder..." Fang Jinghe took note of it secretly.
"He's gone." Mu Qianyu came into the room.
Yunti said "hmm" and said nothing.
Mu Qianyu sighed and said, "You guys... forget it, let's talk about something else. The magic spots on your body are the mark of the Demon Phoenix Clan. Why were you saved by Xiaoyi?"
"What!" Yunti's ears buzzed, his eyes confused. "I never knew I was from the Demon Phoenix Clan. I grew up in the human world. My father was a general, and my mother was a noblewoman from the capital. Because of a villain's frame-up, my family was destroyed. Only then did I realize I wasn't their biological child. In the critical moment, it was your Saint who saved me. You said... I'm from the Demon Phoenix Clan?"
Yunti looked incredulous. She had never thought that such an ordinary person like her would be involved with the "Nine Heavens Upper Realm" or even the "Demon Realm".
Mu Qianyu exclaimed, "You don't even know this? I guess I can only wait for Xiaoyi to come back and ask for details."
"Your saint has been missing for so long, aren't you worried?" Yunti asked blankly.
Mu Qianyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Since Xiaoyi can send a message to A Li to find you, it means that she has more important things to do. She will naturally come back when it is time to come back."
After listening to Qianyu's description of An Luoyi, Yunti became more and more interested in this strategic stranger, and she was excited to meet her as soon as possible.
After Fang Jinghe returned in a daze, he was put in solitary confinement by his father. He had already gone to the mortal world without permission and caused such trouble, which made Fang Jiming even angrier.
Fang Jiming asked him if he had encountered any danger in the secret realm, but Fang Jinghe remained silent, looking completely indifferent. In the end, Fang Jiming ordered him not to heal his wounds and to teach him a lesson for his rebellious behavior.
It took Fang Jinghe more than ten days to recover from his injuries. He sent people to inquire about Yunti's recent situation. The disciples only said that there was nothing unusual about the "Saint Girl", but she had never left Chaoyun Hall. However, Si Ming from the Priest Hall went in and out every day.
It was normal for Yunti to be unable to recover for more than ten days after suffering such a serious injury, but Fang Jinghe always felt uneasy, so he sneaked out again.
An Luoyi and Xian Youlin did not go to the fairy palace first, but returned to where she left. Many furnishings in the house were covered with dust, and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time.
"It seems that the person has left." Xian Youlin said.
"Strange." Anlu couldn't imagine where the ladder could go after leaving here.
"Could it be that he was taken away by someone?"
"This place is remote and difficult to find. My magic weapon has not moved. The person who came here should have no malicious intentions."
An Luoyi took back the lost swords. After a moment's thought, she said, "Perhaps she is in the Immortal Palace right now. Let's go."
After the words were spoken, the two disappeared into the house.
Fang Jinghe just happened to run into Yunti when he arrived at the gate of Nanyuan Immortal Mansion. He happily rushed over and said, "Yunti, are you okay?"
An Luoyi looked around with a puzzled look, then looked at Fang Jinghe.
Fang Jinghe glanced at the immortal servant at the gate and his head flickered. He smiled and leaned close to An Luoyi's ear and said, "Oh, no, I'm so sorry. I should call you An Luoyi."
Xian Youlin saw that Fang Jinghe was behaving inappropriately and immediately pushed him aside. Only then did Fang Jinghe notice this person.
"Who are you?" Fang Jinghe asked unhappily.
"I am the King of the Underworld - Xian Youlin." Xian Youlin said politely.
Fang Jinghe was greatly surprised. He asked An Luoyi, "This isn't right. How did you get to know the Nether King in such a short time?"
An Luoyi looked at Fang Jinghe strangely: "Is there something wrong with you? If not, please get out of the way."
"It's only been a short time since we last met, and you've become so cold and heartless!" Fang Jinghe shouted and pointed at Xian Youlin, "You're still abandoning me after having fun with me. Do you know that you're just like the previous..." An Luoyi!
Fang Jinghe stopped talking abruptly. He said in disbelief, "Could it be that you are An Luoyi?"
An Luoyi looked at Fang Jinghe with amusement: "If I am not An Luoyi, who else could I be? If Immortal Lord Fang has hysteria, go get him treated."
After saying that, An Luoyi took Xian Youlin to Chaoyun Palace.
Fang Jinghe obviously hadn't reacted yet. Seeing the two of them leave, he shouted, "Hey, I'm with you!"
Yunti has been bedridden for more than ten days. Every time her wound was about to heal, it kept bleeding. Mu Qianyu used all the good medicines on her, but she still couldn't recover.
"How could this happen..." Mu Qianyu paced back and forth in the room.
"Forget it, I'm going to die, so let me go find my parents." Yunti said with tears in her eyes. She has been unhappy every day since she remembered the past. Her family just wanted to live happily... Why is the emperor uncle so heartless? Nothing is more unacceptable than shattered beliefs.
"Stop talking nonsense. Life is precious. Even if you are in a desperate situation, you must find a chance to survive. I will definitely save you." Mu Qianyu promised.
Ah Li came out with the blood basin, but she didn't expect three shadows to pass by. She immediately shouted, "Who! Anyone who trespasses into Chaoyun Palace will be punished by death!"
Three figures landed on the ground. Ah Li saw the blood basin in the hands of the newcomers fall to the ground with a clang. She ran over and hugged An Luoyi's neck: "Saint! You are back!"
Ahri burst into tears, "Although I know the Saint Goddess has great powers, Ahri still can't help but worry."
An Luoyi patted A Li's back lovingly: "Okay, I'm back."
An Luoyi may not have realized the tenderness in his eyes at this moment, but Xian Youlin saw it. It was widely rumored in the outside world that the Nine Heavens Saint was cold and ruthless, but Xian Youlin felt that it was just that the world did not understand her.
An Luoyi looked at the blood spilled on the ground and asked, "Whose blood is this?"
"It's Yunti's." Ah Li said aggrievedly, "Miss Yunti has been injured for a long time and has not recovered."
"What!" A trace of panic surged in An Luoyi's heart. She ran into the house in a hurry, and Xian Youlin raised her foot to follow. Unexpectedly, Fang Jinghe entered the house faster than him.
