“Running away is not the solution. I will do everything I can to protect Yao Yao.” Shang Xiye looked steadily at Yun Ji, his words and gaze full of encouragement. “Besides, the remaining members of your Yun family also need a way out. This path will be full of thorns, but someone has to forge it out.”
Yun Ji felt Shang Xiye's determination and encouragement, and her grief quickly turned into shame:
Even someone who isn't a member of the Yun family like Shang Xiye can be so resolute and brave, while he, a direct descendant of the Yun family, only thinks of himself and only wants to escape.
They've already said they'll use the combined power of the Dan Sect and the Hanyu Sect to protect the Yun family.
He's still crying and begging for his own safety, and he needs people to reason with him and encourage him. He's really pathetic!
"It was me... who was too selfish and narrow-minded," Yun Ji said, lowering his head and wiping his eyes with his sleeve.
“You have your reasons. I am a reincarnated person, and I can understand,” Shang Xiye said gently.
He didn't delve into the details, nor did he try to comfort Yunji with his own unsuccessful choices in his past life, but Yunji was able to better understand his sincerity.
This brought the two closer together, and they even became completely at ease with each other.
When Ji Fengyao returned and saw the two of them chatting happily, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It's worth noting that Shang Xiye is generally quite quiet when he's not facing her or dealing with important matters.
Wu Dongyu was a silent, unassuming person who only vented his anger.
She thought the two of them would be so awkward together, which is why she rushed back. She never expected that the two of them would be able to chat!
But as soon as she entered, the two of them fell silent and looked at her with smiles.
Ji Fengyao was completely confused by the two of them: "Your Highness, Brother Yunji, what were you talking about just now? Why did you stop talking as soon as I arrived? Are you talking badly about me behind my back?"
"Let's talk about embarrassing things from your childhood," Shang Xiye said, his eyes clearly teasing the little bandit.
Yun Ji smiled slightly, trying to suppress a laugh.
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Everyone goes through a phase of being a rebellious teenager.
Turning her master into her husband doesn't seem to be all bad. She's starting to wonder what to do if she wants to return him.
But upon closer inspection of the man, whose every trait perfectly matched her aesthetic standards, her confidence immediately crumbled.
The husband I pounced on is someone I raised; I'll just have to bear with it.
But that didn't stop her from getting revenge: "Brother Yunji, do you know that my lord used to be my master? Have you heard about Mo Linxian's many 'great achievements' on the Danling Continent, such as climbing over walls and jumping over courtyards, or being run over for 30,000 miles?"
Yun Ji: "...Pfft!"
Shang Xiye: "..."
Meanwhile, Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, and Yun Ji were overjoyed to recognize each other, but we'll leave that aside for now.
On the other side of the Danling Continent.
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao traveled day and night, arriving at Tianque City at top speed.
As they passed through the city gate, both of them glanced at the round, white moonstone there several times, their expressions not very pleasant.
It seems that the information they had previously gathered was true; the entire Danling Continent now regards the Yun family as remnants of collusion with demons.
The two wandered around the city for a while, and then chose the most popular inn on the busiest street to stay in.
They couldn't directly inquire about the monster the Qu family had captured, so they could only huddle into the largest crowds.
In this way, they might be able to hear the information they want from other people's casual conversations, and they can also use the large number of people to cover up their own purpose. When the time comes, they can pretend to join in the fun, chat with people for a few words, and it won't seem too abrupt.
