After an unknown amount of time, Ji Jiuying slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a pair of eyes filled with endless doting and tenderness.
"woke up?"
Ji Jiuying nodded and said softly, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
Unlike others, she can slowly heal herself even when she is unconscious. Moreover, with Gong Mingyue's external help, her recovery is even faster.
"You knew I'd worry about you, yet you still acted so impulsively?"
Although Gong Mingyue was angry, his tone was helpless. After confirming that she was alright, he carefully put her down.
"Okay, don't be angry, I know what I'm doing."
Ji Jiuying chuckled softly, looking at the exquisite pagoda floating in the sky. She slowly raised her hand, and the pagoda gradually shrank, returning to the size of a bowl in Ji Jiuying's hand. She released her spiritual power, and saw Qingling lying unconscious inside the pagoda.
"Jiu'er, how are you?"
Feng Che and the others gathered around, looking at Ji Jiuying with worried expressions.
"Second Uncle, I'm fine. I just overexerted myself. I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Jiuying looked at the group of people in front of her, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart. Her gaze lingered on the Moon God, and her eyes flickered slightly.
"Moonlight Goddess, I'm sorry, I lied to you before."
Yuehua shook her head: "Girl, I already know the general reason, but... about that matter..."
Ji Jiuying glanced at Feng Che, who nodded. Ji Jiuying understood: "Moonlight God, it was indeed Kamakura who did this. Since you chose to stay, it means you trust me. And I am sure that Kamakura is still in this plane. After we finish dealing with this, I have a way to find him. Then all the truth will come to light."
Ji Jiuying kept Yuehua because through this incident, she deduced that Kamakura was an extreme and insane person, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a cruel and inhumane thing. She was afraid that if things were exposed, Feng Lan would be in danger.
Yuehua is someone with a century-long marriage contract in Kamakura, and someone he has spent hundreds of years with. Keeping her around might be of some help.
"good······"
The thought of soon facing someone who had deceived her for over a decade made Yuehua's heart pound with anxiety. How would she feel? And how would he feel about her? Guilt or self-reproach?
The thought that he could be so crazy sent a chill down Yuehua's spine.
Ji Jiuying didn't say anything more. Her stance was already very clear. She glanced around again and found that Feng Wu, Bai Lisha, and Feng Yu were gone. She immediately remembered what she had told them to keep an eye on Xin Yao, and her eyes darkened.
After the demon seed was sealed in the Linglong Tower, the spiritual cultivators had already returned to the Heavenly Domain. After all, the barrier above the Heavenly Domain had been broken, and with Gong Mingyue there, they dared not do anything to Ji Jiuying.
Jin Chenzi's figure also disappeared without anyone noticing, and Bai Ling Shenzun only gave Si Yu a few instructions before leaving.
——
At Star Academy, Yu Bugui, Shen Qingqiu, and the others all emerged from the secret chamber.
"Wait a moment!"
Yu Bugui looked at the sky outside. There was no trace of demonic energy left, but why could he still sense demonic energy nearby? Soon, some subtle sounds caught his attention. He looked towards the forbidden area, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"What's wrong, Old Yu?"
Shen Qingqiu asked in confusion.
"Old Shen, you take them to deal with the corpses in the academy first. I'm going to the forbidden area first."
"good."
“I want to go to the forbidden area too,” Shen Miaoqing said, stepping forward.
"I'm going too..."
Bai Mengfan, Yue Feiqun, and others stepped forward.
Yu Bugui knew exactly what they were thinking. Ever since they learned that the girl had returned, they couldn't wait a moment longer. But now that people from the higher realms were involved, how could he let them take the risk? He immediately refused.
“No, you should stay with the sect leaders and Vice Dean Shen. Once things are settled, the people you want to see will naturally come to you. The people involved this time are all from higher realms. If you go there rashly, it might cause unnecessary trouble for that girl.”
Hearing Yu Bugui's words, everyone had no choice but to give up. Now that Xiao Jiu was a person from a higher plane, their rashly going there might indeed bring her trouble. Moreover, the Dean also said that the demonic energy had not completely dissipated.
When Yu Bugui arrived at the forbidden area, he saw the Feng family members and Xin Yao fighting in mid-air.
"Phoenix Lord, being too greedy is not a good thing!"
Xin Yao sneered and her attack was quite ruthless.
Feng Jun didn't want to explain any further. "Fairy Xin Yao, I've already told you, this place was empty when I arrived. There wasn't even a decent piece of iron left, let alone any divine artifacts!"
"impossible!"
Xin Yao didn't believe Feng Jun's words at all. She was convinced that the Feng family had taken the artifact and that it was her fault for being careless and not noticing their departure earlier.
She thought she would be the first to arrive, but the Feng family was already here! Who else but the Feng family could take those divine artifacts! Three divine artifacts! How could she possibly let them go so easily?
"I'm not going to waste my breath arguing with you!"
Feng Jun snorted and tried to escape, but Xin Yao wouldn't have it. She pressed him relentlessly, each move deadly!
Ji Jiuying and the others were also observing from the shadows.
"There are indeed no more divine artifacts here!"
Gong Mingyue's voice came over, and everyone narrowed their eyes slightly. Si Yu asked in confusion, "Could it really be that the Feng family took it?"
Feng Che shook his head: "Impossible. If it really was the Feng family that took it, my father and elder brother wouldn't be wasting time here with Xin Yao. So there's only one reason: this thing might have been taken by someone else long ago!"
Ji Jiuying remembered what Murong Zheng had said: two days ago, when the monster appeared, Kamakura was also here.
Since he knew that there were magical beasts imprisoned here, he must also know that there were divine artifacts inside. So when the monsters came out, he took the divine artifacts and left.
They...were all deceived.
Bai Lisha was with Feng Wu and the others when, as if sensing something, she quietly left the Feng family's side and quickly ran towards Ji Jiuying and the others.
"Xiao Jiu, you're here!"
"Moonlight Goddess, Senior Sister, you're here too."
Yuehua and Feng Qingxue nodded, then Bai; Lisha added.
"Huh, where's my master?"
"Little Bai, your master went back to Yaochi and specifically asked me to keep an eye on you here." Si Yu tapped her head as she spoke, causing her to cry out in pain. She said irritably, "Then you'd better keep a close eye on me, or what if I get kidnapped by another handsome boy!"
Si Yu's lips twitched. Then she really had to hurry up and kidnap her!
"Xiao Bai, tell me what happened."
Ji Jiuying interrupted the two of them and spoke up.
