Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 89 Two People
The beautiful scenery contained murderous intent. At this moment, Yun Yi no longer had the heart to appreciate the snow. He could only hold his Yuan Shouyi and use spiritual energy to spread throughout his body to resist the cold.

Fortunately, his body had been tempered by sword sharpening and was extremely strong, so he was only trapped by the "cold feeling" and was not actually hurt at all.

Yun Yi exhaled a heavy puff of white mist, exerted all his Qi Refining Realm cultivation, and finally moved his legs forward a little.

As he moved, a strong wind suddenly arose, and the snowflakes were rolled into a storm, covering Yun Yi, obviously not wanting him to move forward.

Yun Yi remained calm, having already grasped the depths of the formation. At best, this could only fool cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, but would be useless against those at the Spirit Transformation stage.

Unfortunately, his Qi Refining Realm was not ordinary, and he was currently lacking in spiritual energy, so he had not yet broken through.

But the firmness of his mind and the strength of his spiritual power have actually reached the level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

Therefore, the wind, snow and ice could not stop Yun Yi, and he took another step forward.

This illusion actually began to tremble, as if it was on the verge of breaking.

Yun Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and found that the snow and wind had completely disappeared. The original snow-covered sky had unknowingly appeared on the snowless side of the Broken Bridge.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a giant snow-white snake, firmly occupying the bridgehead.

The white snake was enormous, its length terrifying, and it looked like it could easily wrap around a mountain. It coiled its body, its head held high, its eyes glaring at Yun Yi, as if ready to devour him in one gulp.

Seeing this, Yun Yi became even more certain that this illusion was created by Nangong Zhuozhuo after reading the storybook.

This girl is really a worry.

Yun Yi had already seen through the true nature of the illusion and was certain that the wind and snow could not freeze him, so the white snake naturally could not cause any real harm.

Therefore, he was not afraid at all, and was still unwilling to take out the square sword from the Sumeru Ring, so he continued to move forward with his bare hands.

The white snake seemed to be enraged, and opened its huge mouth to bite down hard.

Even so, it couldn't stop Yun Yi from reaching the other end of the broken bridge. Just as the snake bit him, the sky suddenly turned dark.

The illusion was finally completely broken, and Yun Yi's mind flashed, and he was back to the fresh and elegant backyard.

He couldn't help but look back and found that he had only taken a few steps and passed the rockery, that's all.

After passing the formation test, the small room in front of him with a closed door should contain the people that the girls in Hongxiu Tower have been hiding.

There was no more trouble afterwards. The person who set up the formation should have known that if the visitor could walk out of the illusion, then he was probably not someone he could contend with.

But because of this, Yun Yi gradually became confused, feeling that Nangong Zhuozhuo was not the one in the house.

As he pushed open the door, he saw a young girl wearing a light pink silk gown and a bun with her hair hanging down. She had a delicate face with a pair of cute dimples on her cheeks, a pair of eyebrows that seemed to be painted on, and eyes that were clearly black and white, full of complex emotions.

She did bear some resemblance to Nangong Zhuozhuo, but she looked sickly and her face was pale.

As soon as the girl saw Yun Yi, she took the initiative to ask: "Who are you? I don't think I have ever seen you in the mansion."

Yun Yi naturally guessed the identity of the girl in front of him, "Are you Ye Nianyi?"

"Of course it's me, who else are you looking for?"

Yun Yi spread his hands and smiled, thinking that it is true that even if you try hard to plant flowers, they may not bloom, but if you plant willows by accident, they may grow into a shade.

No wonder the City Lord's Mansion couldn't find their young lady after searching for half a month. Who would have thought that this lady from aristocratic family would hide in a brothel? And she looked like she was doing well there, with everyone trying to help her cover her tracks.

Yun Yi said, "Miss Ye, why don't you come out and have a chat?"

Ye Nianyi didn't want a strange man to enter her boudoir, so she walked out openly and said, "Even though you found me, I still want to ask, is there any room for negotiation?"

"You really don't want to go back?"

"You should already know why I ran away from home this time."

"Is it really to escape marriage?"

"Of course. Although I am dying, I don't want to just marry anyone."

"Even if that person can save your life?"

"What's the difference between marrying someone I don't like and taking my life?"

Yun Yi was so troubled by the girl's few words that he became even more certain that this Miss Ye was not easy to fool.

It's just that he deliberately didn't mention the tiger talisman, and Ye Nianyi also concealed it, and the two of them just happened to form a tacit understanding.

As for how to place Ye Nianyi, there was actually a lot to consider. In Yun Yi's opinion, Crescent City was currently in turmoil, with countless enemies hidden within. If Ye Lingtiehong wanted to reverse the situation, he would need to hide himself in the dark.

Otherwise you will just be in a passive position.

Therefore, even if Ye Nianyi was found, she could not be sent back to the City Lord's Mansion in a high-profile manner. At present, the origins of Master Ci Lan and Gong Che have not been figured out. If they get to know the news and come to the door, it may cause more complications.

Yun Yi was concentrating on thinking, while Ye Nianyi was also carefully looking at the man in front of her.

This man looked unfamiliar; he had definitely never seen him before. He was dressed in white, with bright, deep eyes, and he was quite handsome. Unfortunately, one could only look at a person's face but not his heart, so it was difficult to determine whether he was a good person or a bad person.

"How many people know that Miss Ye is hiding here?"

"Well, probably only some sisters from Linlang Pavilion know about this. Why are you asking this? Are you going to kill them to silence them?"

"Miss, you are too kind. Since your whereabouts here are no longer a secret, we'd better find another place to hide."

"Aren't you going to take me back home?"

"I won't go back yet, but I still need to let the city lord know your whereabouts." Ye Nianyi was very insightful and immediately thought of the key point. She asked, "Is there something wrong in the mansion?"

Yun Yi simply said, "Tie Hong has returned, but he lost half of his tiger talisman."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Nianyi became visibly nervous, and her hands clenched tightly. It was obvious that she thought about the remaining half of the tiger talisman in her hands, and she suddenly felt pressured.

"I'm the one who escorted Tie Hong back all the way. My name is Yun Yi. You can trust me. If you can't, just remember that I'm not an enemy of Crescent Moon City. That's enough."

Ye Nianyi's eyes were full of inquiry: "You said... your name is Yun Yi?"

"what happened?"

The girl suddenly fell silent.

Yun Yi looked at the other person curiously and discovered something strange about Ye Nianyi.

Logically speaking, the name Yun Yi wasn't well-known, and it was even more unlikely that anyone in Crescent City had heard of it. However, Ye Nianyi's behavior just now seemed to indicate that she had heard of Yun Yi, but not through the Tie Hong incident.

Thinking about it this way, there is only one possibility left.

Yun Yi began to look at the many arrangements in the backyard again. There was a guqin placed in the pavilion, a few koi in the flowing water, the rockery looked strange, and there were countless flowers and plants in the courtyard.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing strange about it, because everything here is different from the outside world. It is as if an immortal created such a paradise in the depths of the desert.

The overall feeling of Crescent City is iron-blooded and cold, without the gentle beauty of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River.

Yun Yi frowned, his eyes suddenly falling on a lush peach tree behind the rockery next to the house.

I just said that this place felt familiar, and it turns out that this is where the problem lies.

Then Yun Yi ignored Ye Nianyi's obstruction, walked towards the peach tree, reached out and pinched a branch.

He shouted coldly: "Are you addicted to acting?!"

The peach tree then cried out in pain: "Ouch, be gentle."

The next moment, a flash of light passed through Tao Shu's body, and she transformed back into a young girl. She was wearing a scarlet and white Liuxian dress, with a peach blossom mark on her forehead. Who else could it be but Nangong Zhuozhuo?

The girl was still smiling playfully, but Yun Yi grabbed her ears, so she could only laugh and be angry at the same time.

She begged, "Why did you come back so suddenly?!"

Yun Yi angrily said, "It wasn't fun enough to play your father in Feitian Secret Realm, and now you want to continue being an actor after you come out?!"

"I just came out to hang out because I was bored."

"It's been so long since you've been home, and you're still lying!"

Nangong Zhuozhuo knew that he was in the wrong, so there was an absurd scene where a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm was lectured by a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm.

Ye Nianyi hurried over to help: "Mr. Yun, please don't be angry. Zhuozhuo stayed here to help me."

Yun Yi: “Hmm?”

Nangong Zhuozhuo: "Let me go first."

In front of outsiders, Yun Yi didn't want to embarrass Nangong Zhuozhuo too much, so he let go of her ear.

Ye Nianyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I hid here a few days ago, but unfortunately a strange disease broke out and I almost died. Thanks to Zhuozhuo for helping me suppress the disease."

Nangong Zhuozhuo suddenly became proud: "Did you hear that? I only do good things!"

Yun Yi hadn't expected the strange disease to have a relapse risk. "You don't want to go back to the City Lord's Mansion even if the disease relapses?"

"No return."

Nangong Zhuozhuo echoed, "She'll be fine as long as I'm here, why would she go back?!"

Yun Yi was so angry that he laughed: "You are the one who is right."

The peach blossom girl straightened her back and said, "I was right. During that storm, you suddenly let go, forcing me and Suzaku to be separated. After that, we came to Crescent City and waited for you for a long time, but you didn't come back. Do you know how worried I was?"

"Heh, if I hadn't heard from Suzaku that you had become the Devil King, I would have believed what you just said."

"Uh... you've already met Suzaku?"

"Otherwise, who would come out to find you?"

Yun Yi and Nangong Zhuozhuo glared at each other, neither of them willing to take a step back.

Nangong Zhuozhuo thought to herself, "I'm just a Transformation Realm cultivator, why should I listen to you?" However, although she thought about it, she didn't dare to do anything.

After all, when leaving the Feitian Secret Realm, Monkey Boss and Zhi Boss personally entrusted themselves to Yun Yi. If they really made him angry, Nangong Zhuozhuo really didn't know what to do.

The Peach Blossom Fairy, who has practiced Taoism for thousands of years, has a very sharp mind and naturally knows who is sincere to her and who is insincere.

Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to "bully" Zhuque like this, she just felt confident.

Unfortunately, Yun Yi was not a pushover and would not indulge her bad habits. He immediately said firmly, "Come back with me. No room for negotiation."

"Do you believe me, I'll cry in front of you?"

"Then you cry first. Miss Ye and I have something to talk about."
