Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 106 "Night Raid"

After Song Xinci experienced the Heart Refining Bureau in the nameless town, although she kept the Heart-to-Heart Gu a secret, she told her grandfather Qiu Feng about her marriage to Yun Yi.

Zhuque always thought that the young lady was planning to use Yun Yi as a shield to discourage those annoying male cultivators from the Demon Sect from proposing marriage.

Song Xinci's voice was slightly panicked: "Who wants to marry him?"

Seeing this, Zhuque volunteered, "Why don't I accompany Yun Yi to Black Cloud Mountain? My Three Flame Escape Technique can help him escape."

Yun Yi laughed and said, "I'm already in the Spiritual Transformation Realm now, so how come in your eyes I'm still just a little cultivator ready to run away at any moment?"

Zhuque thought about it and felt that Yun Yi was right. Even she did not have the confidence to defeat the other party now.

Yun Yi is an extremely experienced and shrewd person. Although he has just entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, he should never be regarded as "just a person in the Spirit Transformation Realm."

Looking at the world of cultivation, perhaps the Qi Refining Realm is nothing, but the Spirit Transformation Realm is the real mountain cultivator.

Song Xinci seemed to have encountered a huge problem. Even at the critical moment of life and death, she had never been seen so conflicted.

She sighed, "It's getting late. Why don't you go back and rest first? Let me think about it."

This was an order to leave, and Yun Yi didn't want to stay here, so he simply went back to the woodshed and prepared to take a short rest.

Zhuque saw Yun Yi off, closed the doors and windows, then moved closer to his young lady and whispered, "When I saw you this time, I always felt something was wrong."

The two of them hadn't spoken in private like this for a long time. Before, because Nangong Zhuozhuo and Ye Nianyi also lived here, Zhuque had been holding back some things.

Song Xinci's face was red in the candlelight. She said, "I might... Never mind. I can't say it."

Zhuque said sympathetically, "Are you in love with Yun Yi?"

"Hmm..." Song Xinci suddenly buried her head in her arms.

"Although I don't know what you and he went through in Fuyao Sect, I can see that you care about him quite a bit. Miss, I've never seen you care so much about anyone in all these years."

Song Xinci's voice was muffled: "Then what should I do now?"

Suzaku said, "I do have a small suggestion."

"Just tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."

"Why don't you take this opportunity to separate for a while and calm down."

"what?!"

"Listen to my explanation first. You probably don't know your own feelings yet. You can't blame me for that. After all, you practice the Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions, and you've been dull to the seven emotions and six desires since childhood."

Song Xinci: "I... am really slow?"

Zhuque: "But there is one thing I must ask you. If you really like Yun Yi and it is difficult for you to overcome your feelings, and it ends up hindering your path, will you kill him?"

This question made Song Xinci's face pale instantly. To be honest, she had thought about this situation a long time ago. At that time, she was only thinking about using Yun Yi to cultivate her emotions and had never been so entangled.

As for when she changed her mind, it might have been when that figure stood in front of her regardless of everything.

After Fuyao Sect experienced a life-or-death catastrophe, she and Yun Yi were originally together because of the "One Heart Gu". But now, she has to re-evaluate this relationship.

Song Xinci said: "He... is very good to me."

Suzaku suddenly started gossiping: "What happened?"

"He saved my life, made elixirs for me, and bought my favorite preserved plums... He also gave me a sword, which I love very much."

Zhuque nodded as he listened. Song Xinci grew up in the Demon Sect. Although she was the apple of the eye, she was too talented, so few people treated her like a little girl.

Song Xinci became less and less confident as she spoke: "Besides, he's actually a nice guy."

Suzaku added, "He has a sharp mind and is practicing quite fast. Perhaps he will be able to walk alongside you in no time."

Song Xinci's eyes lit up.

That's right, if Yun Yi could advance to the He Dao realm, then he could use the Tong Xin Gu to make him repay him. Perhaps he could find a way to ascend without completely forgetting his feelings and without harming Yun Yi.

Seeing that the young lady's attitude was softening, Zhuque continued to persuade her, "If love lasts forever, it doesn't matter if you're together day and night."

"Who wants to be with him day and night?"

"Then why can't we separate?"

"Divide, let's do it now. Tomorrow I will return to the Demon Sect by myself."

Zhuque smiled secretly and said, "Just go back."

Who would have thought that Song Xinci would suddenly add, "You come back with me too!"

Suzaku: "?"

Song Xinci: "You've been away from Buried Sword Valley for so long, don't you miss Xiu Niang and the others?"

After hearing what Song Xinci said, Zhuque actually missed her a little. After all, when he was a child, he often followed the embroiderer to ask for candy.

So she said, "That's settled then. Let's go back to the Demon Sect together tomorrow. As for Yun Yi, no one cares about him!"

……

At the same time, in the woodshed.

Yun Yi lay on the straw mat, playing with the tiger talisman in his hand.

This journey has been full of hardships, all because of this thing.

In the fight for the tiger talisman, three Return to Void Realm masters died. Master Ci Lan and Ying Zi also died, and Ting Ni was seriously injured but was rescued.

But Yun Yi had no idea what secrets of cultivation this thing contained. If it were just three hundred iron pagodas, they would actually be too useless for a cultivator.

He thought it would be better to ask Tie Hong tomorrow to clarify things. Now that he and Yueya City are completely tied together, he will probably not hide anything.

Just as he was thinking about this, the door suddenly creaked, startling Yun Yi. He thought it was some Return to Void Realm expert who hadn't died yet and had come to attack him in the middle of the night. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red figure quietly sneaking in by the moonlight.

Yun Yi hurriedly sat up, and Zhuque squatted opposite him. The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was ambiguous for a moment, but they didn't know what to say.

Suzaku was the first to break the deadlock, saying, "You're done."

"What happened to me?"

"My lady told me herself that she likes you!"

Yun Yi was stunned at first, then scratched his head embarrassedly, thinking that the woman had finally taken the bait, and his care and consideration along the way were worth it.

He originally didn't want to repeat the tragic ending of his previous life, and had intentionally distanced himself from Song Xinci. However, they met again due to the Fuyao Sect, so he decided to just let everything go.

If she still insists on being too obsessed with forgetfulness, I will just run away sooner.

But he didn't expect that after all these operations, Song Xinci's life would be different from his previous life.

Seeing Yun Yi's smug look, Zhuque couldn't help but slap him, "Fool, the young lady is practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness, aren't you afraid that she will kill you to prove her Dao?"

Yun Yi said: "It's not like I can't run."

Yun Yi didn't need to worry about what Zhuque was worried about. Because she and Song Xinci were connected by the same heart Gu, she would never choose to kill her husband to prove her Dao. This was the worst solution.

"I've already advised Miss not to take you back to the Demon Sect. If you want to leave, take this opportunity to leave quickly and never appear in front of Miss again!"

Yun Yi looked at the girl in red: "Are you worried about me?"

Zhuque said seriously, "I've long seen that you have high aspirations. Although you don't say it, you actually look down on the Demon Sect from the bottom of your heart. So I advise you to leave early. Once the young lady is busy with her cultivation, she may gradually forget about you."

Yun Yi wanted to explain at this moment, but he couldn't, so he could only utter: "Okay then."

"I will leave with you tomorrow. Perhaps after this separation, we will never meet again."

"This..." Yun Yi thought, as long as you don't trust someone too much in this life, you should be able to meet again.

Zhuque was actually a little sad, thinking that it would not be bad if Yun Yi married into the Burial Sword Valley. Apart from the risk of his life, at least he would not be too lonely in the valley.

After all, I am the young lady's personal maid, so there is nothing wrong with getting close to my own son-in-law.

Oh, what am I thinking about again!
Suzaku sighed, "You're on your own anyway."

She stood up to leave, but Yun Yi suddenly said, "I have something to say to you before you leave."

"what?"

"You have to be wary of someone named Nian Nujiao."

Zhuque's eyes widened, and he looked at Yun Yi again, "What do you mean by that?"

Yun Yi said perfunctorily, "Just think of it as a dream from an immortal, saying that you might be killed by Nian Nujiao's sneak attack. By the way, this is between you and me, so remember to keep it a secret."

Zhuque was puzzled. How could Nian Nujiao kill me?
She really wanted to grab Yun Yi and ask him clearly, but she knew that he would definitely not tell the truth, so she gave up the idea.

But he had to take Yun Yi's words to heart, because logically speaking, Yun Yi had never seen Nian Nujiao, let alone knew this name, so his "casual mention" might have other deeper meanings.

Suzaku left with a lot on his mind.

Yun Yi also lay back down and continued to study the gains of this trip.

Unexpectedly, before I could even warm up my head, I heard the teeth-grinding sound of the door breaking again.

Who is attacking here in the middle of the night?
And that broken door, I will definitely tear it down when I get the chance!
Yun Yi looked towards the door and saw a man in white pushing the door but seemed a little hesitant and did not come in for a long time.

He took the initiative to say: "If you have something to say, come in and talk."

Song Xinci glared at him in confusion, then tiptoed into the house, as if afraid of being discovered by Zhuque in the next room.

She sniffed the fragrance in the air and asked, "Did Suzaku come here just now?"

Yun Yi said frankly: "Yes."

"Then she should have told you that I will be returning to the Demon Sect tomorrow and will not be taking you with me."

"Ah."

Song Xinci suddenly became irritated: "Can you say a few more words?"

Yun Yi smiled and said, "We are alone in a room at night, what do you want to hear from me?"

"You! Forget it, will it be dangerous for you to go to Black Cloud Mountain?"

"Don't worry. If I hadn't entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm yet, there might be danger, but now... there won't be any danger."

"The elixir you refined last time seems to have some effect."

"What medicine? Heart-Concentrating Pill?"

"Yes."

Song Xinci took the initiative to sit next to Yun Yi, the meaning was self-evident.

Dan is useful, give me some more.

Yun Yi rummaged through the Sumeru Ring and found that there were still some herbs left from the last time he bought. Together with the rare materials and treasures left to him by Yao Lao Er, he could barely refine two furnaces.

So he decided not to sleep and simply lit the furnace to make the elixir.

Song Xinci stopped talking and just watched Yun Yi busying around. Suddenly, she understood why Su Qing liked to make pills with Yun Yi.

Some men have vicious words, but they look pleasant when they are silent.
