Yun Yici sat in the wine cellar calculating the time, and Shen Huaichuan was also there.

Not only that, she also found a small, unopened jar of spirit wine deep in the cellar.

However, now is definitely not a good time for wine tasting.

To avoid wasting the fine wine, Yun Yici accepted it for Shen Huaichuan and planned to return it to him later.

The two sat chatting, and time flew by; half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Yun Yici was still hesitant about how to change her identity when the glass bead she put into her storage bag lit up.

The message indicated that after about half an incense stick's time, they should gather at the landing point where they had just arrived in the outer city.

Half an incense stick's time is enough time for the six people on the other side to hide.

Yun Yici calculated the time to be half an incense stick's time and went up from the wine cellar a little earlier.

After thinking for a moment, she pulled Shen Huaichuan up from the wine cellar as well.

"Senior Shen, there's still some time before it starts. Let me take you back to your spirit beast first."

As the two walked and talked, they unexpectedly came upon reaching the Temple of Marriage, where they saw a stunningly beautiful woman in red, seemingly unapproachable, leaning against the Marriage Tree, toying with a prayer ribbon in her hand.

Yun Yici was startled and said, "Senior Emperor's Decree, what are you doing here?"

Is the imperial edict playing hide-and-seek? It's practically like standing in an open space and about to shout, "I'm here!"

She was just pretending not to see it; there were other people besides Ning Tinglan on her side.

Yun Yici was unaware that the Emperor had searched for her everywhere but to no avail, so he returned to the Temple of Marriage to wait for her, and unexpectedly, he caught up with her.

Not only did they manage to catch them, they caught two people.

The emperor sneered, threw the prayer ribbon in his hand to the ground, and let it be blown away by the wind.

He stared at Shen Huaichuan and said, "I should ask you who that man in blue is?"

"it's him?"

"You two had this planned?"

Yun Yici was still puzzled. She said, "What appointment? No, I found the Temple of Marriage when I was looking for a place to hide."

"I happened to run into Senior Shen, and he told me about a place to hide."

Emperor Zhao calmed down, thinking that this male cultivator had lost all his cultivation and would at most have his appearance withered in ten years.

In another twenty or thirty years, he'll be an old man with one foot in the grave.

He could outlive this cultivator named Shen Huaichuan to death, so why bother arguing with him?

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I heard from other little demons at the Temple of Marriage that you and this man worshipped the Tree of Marriage together."

"I think I misunderstood. I'm sorry."

Yun Yici quickly replied, "No, we didn't worship the marriage tree; we just stood under it for a while."

As for the lost jade, Yun Yici thought it was Shen Huaichuan's privacy and it was inconvenient to inform the emperor.

However, her explanation was sufficient for the emperor's decree.

The emperor's tense expression immediately relaxed, and he said, "So that's how it is."

Yun Yici calculated that the time was almost up and hurriedly said, "Senior Emperor, you must not stand in this public place, it's easy to get arrested."

It's not easy to get caught; it's practically free kill.

If that's the case, she might as well just arrest the imperial edict first, so as not to let others benefit from it.

Unaware of Yun Yici's wicked intentions, the emperor was quite pleased with her concern. He smiled and said, "I understand. I'll hide well."

After confirming the matter several times, Yun Yici said to the emperor before leaving, "Then I'll go assemble."

"Senior Shen is also heading back, we're going the same way."

After she finished speaking, she left the Temple of Marriage with Shen Huaichuan. She watched Shen Huaichuan board the cloud beast before heading to the meeting point to meet up with Ning Tinglan and the others.

Upon arriving at Yun Yici, she discovered that there were only four people including her; Hua Yi and Fu Yu were nowhere to be seen.

Ning Tinglan said, "I saw Hua Yi being arrested."

He knew what was going on, so he deliberately concealed the fact that it was Mu Yunjian who captured Hua Yi, to avoid his group of demon cultivators becoming hostile towards Mu Yunjian and Rong Xuan.

The four waited a while longer before Bai tide said, "It seems Fellow Daoist Fuyu has also been arrested."

The original form of the hibiscus is a flower. Once it transforms into a flower, it becomes difficult to move and is indeed easy to catch.

There are six people on the other side and four of them, a difference of two, so it's not time to regroup yet.

Xingyu thought of the captured fool Chilong, and his lips twitched. He said, "When the time comes, let's search the places where we hid last time."

"Also, I noticed that the demon and the human cultivator on the other side were wearing fox masks, and I think they have some merits."

"We can also hide ourselves."

As Xing Yu was speaking, he suddenly said to Ning Tinglan, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ning."

Ning Tinglan coughed lightly and said, "That's enough, let's not talk about it anymore."

He really didn't want Yun Yici to know that he had disguised himself as a woman to hide, and that he had even let a female demon crawl under his skirt.

Bai tide's gaze sharpened, and she said, "The time has come."

"I'll go first."

Bai tide is a loner, and Xing Yu has always been the same, so in the end, Ning Tinglan and Yun Yici were together again.

The two followed Xingyu's advice, but since they both already possessed magical artifacts, they did not need to buy masks.

After they went into the shadows and changed their appearances, they looked more like a pair of sisters when they walked together.

Yun Yici was shocked to see Ning Tinglan dressed as a woman; she had no idea Ning Tinglan had this hobby.

Ning Tinglan said awkwardly, "Junior sister, I didn't actually wear women's clothes. I just transformed into a woman's appearance in other people's eyes."

He thought about it for a while, but still felt it wasn't right, so he turned back into a man, but this time he kept a pair of yellow fox ears.

The two walked side by side down the street, amidst a bustling crowd, making it difficult to discern anything at first glance.

After some deliberation, Yun Yici decided to leave Di Zhao, Mu Yunjian, and Rong Xuan behind. The remaining three were Shi Yan, Ci Ying, and a demon cultivator whose background was unknown.

She had never seen their true forms, but based on the name of the demon race, she guessed that their size was not as small as that of the Xuan Turtle.

Therefore, they may not have transformed into their original forms to hide, but rather hid in human form in the outer city.

Ning Tinglan said, "I overheard Ciying and Shi Yan talking before, saying that their sense of smell was blocked and they couldn't fly."

"I bet Ci Ying won't turn back into her original form."

The greatest ability of the winged race is their ability to fly.

Birds can roam freely in the sky; if Ciying could fly, they would have to search the entire sky for her.

As they walked, the two kept an eye out for the female demons passing by, especially the masked female demon Xiu, who possessed an extraordinary aura.

But that would be far too offensive.

After watching for a while, the two realized this and then looked away.

Yun Yici pondered, "This search can't go on forever."

Ning Tinglan exchanged a glance with her and suggested, "I do have a way to lure Shi Yan out, but it's not exactly honorable."

He or Yun Yici might transform into Ci Ying's appearance and pretend to chase her on the street. Shi Yan, who admires Ci Ying, will surely appear as a hero to save the beauty.

The problem is that Ning Tinglan feels that exploiting other people's emotional weaknesses to set traps is against the principles of a gentleman.

Yun Yici coughed violently upon hearing this. Good heavens, isn't the villain in the plot just using your emotional weakness to set a trap for you?
