I'm badly injured, but I'm number one

Snow Palace.

It was still a room full of paperwork.

Mei Can had just finished reviewing a pile of documents before he stood up and stretched his muscles.

There were footsteps outside the door.

She paused for a moment before turning her head to look over, still stretching as before.

The demon cultivator who came in with the documents suddenly lowered his head when he saw this posture.

But the fleeting image still flashes through my mind, the neutral and sharp appearance, with a hint of laziness, is particularly touching.

The demon cultivator shook his body, gathered his scattered thoughts, and spoke in a proper manner.

"Miss Mei, this is the verification document for the recent mobilization of resources in the Demon Realm. Please take a look."

Mei Can has been busy with clerical work with Xia Tianxue, but she has no actual title, and most of the demon cultivators who deliver documents just call her that.

When she heard what the demon cultivator said, her movements completely froze. Chuiyan looked at the documents, she suddenly raised her hand and rubbed her face, looking painful, and asked in a low voice.

"What about snow in summer?"

Faced with the girl in front of him calling out the Left Protector's name with resentment, the demon cultivator didn't dare to say anything and could only speak awkwardly.

"We caught a spy from an outside sect a few days ago, and the left protector is interrogating him."

Mei Can had a heart attack.

She has been really busy lately. Ever since she boarded Xia Tianxue's ship, she has basically been processing paperwork in her room.

She hasn't seen Wen Ye for a month!

After a long while, she spoke weakly, with a strong sense of resentment all over her body.

"Leave it here, I'll deal with it later."

After saying that, Mei Can walked out the door.

She planned to go to the main house to see Wen Ye.

Haijiao mobilized a large number of resources over there a few days ago, but they all came back today.

Thinking that Wen Ye and Yan Ping had rested for a while, it would be a good time for her to go find Wen Ye now.

However, when she reached the gate of the yard, she saw Yu Tianhong walking out dejectedly, looking as depressed as an eggplant hit by frost.

Mei Can was a little puzzled, and she patted Yu Tianhong on the shoulder.

"Did Yan Ping scold you?"

Yu Tianhong opened his mouth but no sound came out.

It would be fine if you really scolded him.

When he heard the news that they had returned, he went to find Yan Ping excitedly.

As a result, Yan Ping was still in a coma and had not woken up even after returning to Xueming Palace.

Mei Can raised an eyebrow at his current state, "What do you mean?"

Yu Tianhong exhaled, "The senior hasn't woken up yet. If you want to look for him, come back later."

Mei Can was stunned for a moment.

Not awake?

Did you run into any big trouble when you went out?

But not necessarily.

Mei Can's mind raced, and he recalled their first encounter in the wasteland.

Something has been wrong with Yan Ping since he lost his memory.

But there was nothing she could do about it, so she let Ji Heyu and the others handle it.

Mei Can patted Yu Tianhong's shoulder again. She had grown very fast in recent times and before she knew it, she was almost as tall as Yu Tianhong.

"I'm here to look for Wen Ye. I'll call you when Yan Ping wakes up."

The two of them used to have some conflicts, but after being tortured by the clerk, Mei Can's temper has improved a lot.

But Yu Tianhong didn't believe it. He glanced at her and refused straightforwardly.

"No need, I'll just be there."

When Mei Can was about to make him laugh out of anger, Wen Ye's voice was heard from inside.

"Mei-chan."

They both tilted their heads to look over there.

Then he saw Wen Ye standing in the yard. His aura was completely restrained and his cultivation level could not be seen.

The bamboo-colored clothes set off his slender figure, giving people a sense of calm and elegance.

The light golden pupils, combined with this aura, added a touch of mystery.

Mei Can was stunned when he saw him for the first time.

She didn't pay attention to Wen Ye's changed eye color, but looked up and down at his current height for a while, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

"Wen Ye, have you become shorter?"

If she remembered correctly, Wen Ye used to be taller than he is now.

Yu Tianhong was stunned for a moment, and only then did he really focus on Wen Ye's height. After a careful comparison, his eyes widened instantly.

“I’ve gotten really short.”

There was a hint of disbelief in Yu Tianhong's voice.

He had only seen people who became taller and taller through spiritual practice, but he had never seen anyone who became shorter.

Wen Ye's expression remained unchanged.

Of course he was aware of the changes in his body shape. Attaining enlightenment had the effect of reshaping the body.

He achieved enlightenment very quickly at that time, but at the last step, he had one more thought and it became what it is now.

He didn't want to talk more and changed the subject.

"You all came to see Yan Ping?"

Mei Chan blinked, but nodded.

"How is Yan Ping?"

Yu Tianhong felt a little uncomfortable listening to their conversation. His brows were deeply furrowed, and his face was full of disapproval.

"The senior is only temporarily unconscious, why are you calling him by his name one by one?"

Mei Can curled her lips. She called everyone by their names from beginning to end.

I was rebellious towards Yan Ping at first, but later I got used to it.

Wen Ye glanced at Yu Tianhong and his voice was exceptionally calm.

"It's a personal hobby. If you dare, you can join us."

Yu Tianhong: “…”

He really didn't dare.

Thinking back to Yan Ping's usual appearance, he shook his body.

Wen Ye led them to another room without disturbing Yan Ping.

Yan Ping fell asleep after coming ashore and has not woken up yet.

Gou Yuze said that it would be fine as long as he got enough sleep.

Wen Ye focused his attention on Mei Can.

"You have been following Xia Tianxue to handle paperwork recently. What is the current situation in Qingzhou?"

When Mei Can heard the word "clerk", she felt like vomiting and her face turned pale.

"Not so good. The Demon Realm is still relatively stable, but many sects outside the Demon Realm have gathered together and are preparing to hold a conquest meeting against the Demon Realm..."

"That's not it. I mean the one about the sea monster ground crack."

Wen Ye interrupted her.

He didn't know how Yan Ping had planned to unify Qingzhou before, but the gathering of those sects was a good opportunity for Yan Ping to make a move.

And they gathered so quickly, there must be someone pushing them, and it was most likely someone from the Demon Realm who did it.

And compared to this, he is now more concerned about the underground vein formations in Qingzhou.

Yu Tianhong raised his hand to interrupt.

"I know this."

He did not stay in Xueming Palace all the time, but spent most of his time outside leading a team to clear out the sea beasts on the coastline of the Demon Realm. When a group of people were together, news spread quickly in private.

“Large and small sea beasts have appeared on the borders of many coastal sects, but their scale is far less than that of the Demon Realm. They have only caused losses to some mortals.”

"But there are many places where the ground cracks. I heard from others that most of those places where the ground cracks were were places where the monks from the Demon Realm had walked before."

Mei Can was a little curious.

"Why are you asking these questions? Just leave those matters to Yan Ping."

Wen Ye's fingertips moved lightly, and many thoughts flashed through the depths of his light golden pupils.

At the same time, recalling the huge map of the geomantic formation he saw in Wuwang Sea, he calculated the geomantic formation on Qingzhou and came up with an exact location.

Wen Ye sighed softly.

"We can't put all the pressure on him."
