What's more, the man that woman brought seriously injured her!

Thinking of this, Yun Qu looked at He Lanxu with even more sorrow.

"Future sister-in-law?" Lin Jingyi asked with a slightly teasing tone, looking at Yun Qu, who seemed to want to devour him whole.

Based on her observations, she knew that Yunqu was in unrequited love and was only trying to change the subject.

He Lanxu was a little helpless; this little sister had become even more mischievous after ten years of not seeing her.

"No."

"Thank goodness it's not her. I wouldn't agree to have a woman like that as my sister-in-law. She would try to kill me the first time we met." Lin Jingyi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He Lanxu's eyes darkened upon hearing this. If it weren't for that senior, his little sister might have been a victim of Yun Qu's sword.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared, but thankfully that senior was there.

"Who is that senior who came with you? Did he force you?" He wondered, considering the two of them traveling alone together, and that he couldn't even see through the other's cultivation level, he was worried his younger sister might have been taken advantage of…

"This is a senior I met inside this barrier. He brought me out. He didn't hurt me, so don't worry."

Lin Jingyi didn't understand why others couldn't enter the barrier. Since others couldn't go in, she couldn't tell anyone that she could.

She only said that Xuan Jiu was a friend because if her mission was completed in a few years, Xuan Jiu would leave this world with her. If Xi returned then, it would be difficult to explain if Xuan Jiu was no longer there.

Afterwards, Lin Jingyi secretly instructed Xuan Jiu to conceal his identity as a demon pet.

"That's good then." With that, Helanxu bowed to Xuanjiu again: "Thank you for taking care of my sister all this way, senior. I am deeply grateful."

Xuan Jiu was a little confused and sent a telepathic message to Lin Jingyi: "What's wrong with Master?"

“I told him that you brought me out here, and you’ve been taking care of me all along, so just bear with it,” Lin Jingyi replied to him in his mind.

"No need to thank me. Xiao Xi is the first person I've ever met. It's only right." Xuan Jiu waved his hand with a grin.

Yun Qu, who was about to get up and cause trouble for Lin Jingyi, was a little confused when she heard the word "sister". Was it her biological sister or her adopted sister?

Looking at their similar appearances, Yunqu was convinced it was the latter.

"Oh, so you're my martial uncle's sister. It was all a misunderstanding. Please forgive me for my rudeness." Yun Qu could only force a smile and apologize, though she was clearly hurt.

"It's alright. My sister didn't hurt me at all, but she was badly injured herself. I apologize on behalf of my friend for going too far with you." Lin Jingyi shook his head, appearing completely harmless.

"It's alright, my injuries have healed." Yun Qu was happy, as long as the other party didn't blame her.

Yun Qu couldn't take her eyes off the man who had seriously injured her.

If Helanxu's handsomeness is that of an otherworldly, aloof, and dashing man, then the black-robed man before them is a free-spirited, unrestrained, and mysterious figure.

The main reason is that the other party's cultivation level is higher than Helan Xu's!

“Senior Sister…” One of the female cultivators who was on good terms with Yun Qu nudged Yun Qu, who was in a daze.

"Ahem." Yun Qu came back to her senses, feeling a little embarrassed.

She bowed slightly to Xuan Jiu: "I was very rude just now, and I hope you will forgive me, senior."

"Offensive? You wouldn't even say that." Xuan Jiu scoffed lightly; he didn't like the way this woman looked at him.

Yunqu lowered her head and remained silent.

Lin Jingyi ignored her and asked about He Lanxu's recent situation.

The two started chatting, one after the other.

Knowing that the other person was doing well put Lin Jingyi at ease, as long as he didn't encounter someone like Shu Yue.

……

As darkness fell, fearing potential dangers on the outskirts of the forbidden area, the group headed towards the edge of the forest.

It turned out that Helanxu and the others were training on the outskirts when they discovered that someone was undergoing tribulation in the forbidden area. They thought they would come to investigate, but they did not expect to encounter Lin Jingyi.

The group rested in a valley on the outskirts.

As Lin Jingyi was preparing to rest at night, she suddenly sensed a dangerous aura approaching. She immediately became alert, and the other meditating cultivators also stopped their practice.

Before long, a group of low-level demonic beasts surrounded Lin Jingyi and the others, and the surrounding area was still in turmoil.

"It's a beast tide! Qingzhu, send a message to Mulin City to resist the beast tide! Qinglan, send a message back to the sect!..." Seeing this, Helanxu calmly gave instructions to his junior disciples, while also drawing his sword and heading towards the demonic beasts.

"Can you, a great demon, control these demonic beasts?" Lin Jingyi remembered that there was a Nascent Soul stage great demon beside him, and quickly asked Xuan Jiu in his mind.

“Okay.” Knowing that his master wanted to stop the beast tide, Xuan Jiu released his pressure without saying a word.

The demonic beasts that felt the oppressive aura all prostrated themselves on the ground.

Shivering.

"Get lost!" Xuan Jiu shouted sharply, and the demonic beasts scattered as if they had been granted a pardon.

"Truly worthy of being the overlord of this forest's heart!" Lin Jingyi sighed inwardly upon seeing this scene.

Helanxu looked at Xuanjiu thoughtfully.

"The beast tide is over just like that?"

"what's going on?"

.........

The Pingyang Sect disciples were seeing such a scene for the first time. If it weren't for the corpses of several demonic beasts on the ground, they would have doubted that it was a dream.

Qingzhu and Qinglan were starting to question their existence when the news got out.

"It's alright. I'll go explain to Mulin City and the sect." Helanxu waved his hand, signaling everyone to go and rest.

The valley returned to calm.

Through his previous casual conversation with He Lanxu, Lin Jingyi realized that this world was not the world he had once known.

Because there were many people, Lin Jingyi did not rest in the space, but instead chose a giant tree, lay down on the trunk and slept fully clothed.

Apart from a few male cultivators on night watch, the rest were meditating and cultivating.

In the days that followed, Lin Jingyi trained with He Lanxu and the others on the outskirts of the mountains.

Because Yun Qu kept pestering Xuan Jiu, Xuan Jiu couldn't stand it anymore and left after telling Lin Jingyi.

Yunqu remained alone, feeling depressed.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Jingyi's cultivation level reached the Nascent Soul stage, catching up with Helan Xu's cultivation progress. His extraordinary destructive power impressed everyone.

One day, as the group prepared to wait for the secret realm to open, Lin Jing also felt the communication talisman he had left for Emperor Helan being crushed.

After Lin Jingyi told He Lanxu, at He Lanxu's insistence, he took Xuan Jiuli and He Lanxu to the mortal world.

The three of them took a teleportation array and arrived in the forest of the mortal world in a few breaths.

A quarter of an hour later, the group appeared in the Imperial Study of the Helan Kingdom's palace.

Upon seeing the three men suddenly appear, the guards present gripped their weapons tightly, ready to attack at any moment.

Fortunately, Lin Jing had the foresight to set up a protective shield for the three of them.

"Greetings, Princess." Upon seeing that the visitor was Lin Jingyi, the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids all bowed to her.

Upon hearing the sound, Emperor Helan stopped reviewing the memorials and looked at Lin Jingyi and the other two.

Lin Jingyi waved away the palace maids and eunuchs and stepped forward.

"Father, my brother and I have returned."

"Brother?" Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at the two people behind Lin Jingyi, and his eyes reddened when he saw that familiar figure.

He strode towards Helanxu: "Xu'er...you...are back."
