To be honest, among Yun Yici's group, Ying Ren found the Imperial Edict the most pleasing to the eye.

He has a noble lineage and the demeanor of a strongman.

Ying Ren secretly resented that Di Zhao was not his son, but also regretted that Di Zhao was a man. If Di Zhao were a woman, he could have brought Di Zhao and Shi Tian together.

With a daughter-in-law who is a phoenix, the combination of the phoenix and the nine-headed infant will surely result in a very strong next generation!

In other words, the emperor was unaware of Ying Ren's thoughts; otherwise, he would have fought a life-or-death battle with Ying Ren today.

That scourge Shi Tian is unworthy of any woman.

Ying Ren put aside his regret and said, "Now that Li Ji is safe, I can rest assured."

"With my wife Yaoyu here in Jiuqi City, I have no worries."

He turned to Mu Yunjian: "But you, you've gained the favor of my elders, you can't just drift through life in the mortal realm."

"You will come back to the Demon Realm with me and train hard by my side. If Shi Tian gets a share, you will get a share too."

Although Chengtian is dead, Muyunjian is his last heir left in the world.

Thinking of his father's regret before his death, Ying Ren decided to take Mu Yunjian back and raise him properly.

In the future, Mu Yunjian and Shi Tianneng will assist each other, which can be considered as fulfilling his father's brotherly affection.

Even Wen Fuyue couldn't find the words to stop her now.

He naturally wanted Mu Yunjian to have a bright future. The previous imperial edict wanted to keep Mu Yunjian in the demon realm because he wanted to take him as a subordinate.

Ying Ren has now promised to nurture Mu Yunjian well, treating him like his own son and planning for his future, with treatment comparable to that of Shi Tian.

It's better for Mu Yunjian to follow Ying Ren towards a bright future than to continue hiding his identity in the Nanhua Sect.

After Ying Ren finished speaking, no one in the hall stopped him.

Wen Fuyue was not there, nor was Yun Yici.

Mu Yunjian lowered her eyes and whispered, "Can I think about it?"

His dream was to become a powerful demon king, but when the opportunity presented itself, he felt none of the joy he had imagined.

Ying Ren frowned and said, "Alright, then you can think about it for a while."

"But the Devouring Marmoset I brought may have a limited lifespan, so don't think about it for too long."

Yun Yici: Wake up, your Devouring Marmot has given birth to offspring and become a second-generation Devouring Marmot.

Xie Qianjue, sensing the unfriendly nature of the visitors, had already given the tea room to Ying Ren and Yun Yici's group.

He then took Xie Shiqing and went out to avoid them, returning only after Yun Yici and the others had finished their conversation.

Seeing that Ying Ren needed lodging, he immediately arranged an empty room for him.

Xie Qianjue felt more and more that Wen Fuyue and her disciples were very mysterious, and that they associated with reclusive masters.

Ying Ren followed Xie Qianjue to his residence, leaving only the master and his disciples, along with Di Zhao and Shen Huaichuan, in the tea room.

No one spoke again. Wen Fuyue sighed softly, got up, and went back to her room.

As soon as Wen Fuyue left, everyone got up and went back to their rooms.

Mu Yunjian was behind Ning Tinglan; their rooms were next to each other.

After Rong Xuan entered the room, Mu Yunjian called out to Ning Tinglan, who was about to step into the room.

"Junior Brother Ning, I have something to give you."

He touched his sleeve and pulled out a storage bag containing a sixth-stage Nascent Soul Fruit.

“I am a demon cultivator, I don’t need this. Although there is only one difference between the sixth and fifth stages of cultivation, my medicine should be more effective.”

Ning Tinglan paused for a moment, then pursed her lips: "I won't take them, one for each of you."

"Besides, I didn't contribute anything at all in the secret realm."

"If I take yours, my master, senior brothers, and junior sisters will all blame me."

To his surprise, Mu Yunjian didn't turn around and leave as he expected, then yell "take it or leave it" at him. Instead, he stood there woodenly.

Mu Yunjian lowered his head, his hand gripping the storage bag limply at his sides, his knuckles digging into it.

Ning Tinglan was always intelligent and quickly figured out the reason for the unusual situation in Muyun.

A look of reluctance crossed his face as he said, "Senior Brother Mu, I won't keep you here."

"Don't blame your master and junior sister. We will meet again someday. In my opinion, you are just away on a period of time to cultivate."

"We will wait for you to return, for a hundred years, for a thousand years..."

Mu Yunjian angrily raised her hand and punched him: "A thousand years is unnecessary. A thousand years have passed, and you all have disciples and grand-disciples, right? Who would still remember me?"

Ning Tinglan had advanced to the Golden Core stage, and her physical condition was different from before. The moment Mu Yunjian raised his hand, he reached out and caught his fist.

"So you have to train like crazy! The harder you train, the sooner you can come back!"

Don't keep us waiting!

Seeing that Ning Tinglan had caught his punch, Mu Yunjian lowered his body and launched a sweeping leg attack on Ning Tinglan's lower body.

Provoked by him, Ning Tinglan also became interested, and the two actually started hand-to-hand combat in the open space of the courtyard.

Rong Xuan's door quietly opened a crack, and the crimson hem of her dress, as red as a begonia, lingered in the gap for a long time.

The blush didn't disappear until Mu Yunjian and Ning Tinglan, limping and helping each other back to their room.

The next day, Yun Yici was shocked to see Mu Yunjian and Ning Tinglan with their faces covered in injuries.

"Senior Brother Mu, Senior Brother Ning, what happened to you? Are you alright?"

Rong Xuan followed behind, saying leisurely, "Junior Sister, don't worry, they're fine."

Yun Yici took out some medicine for external injuries from her storage bag and gave it to Mu Yunjian and the other two before she felt at ease.

She had planned to collect rent from the outer cabinet yesterday, but unexpectedly ran into Ying Ren. It seems that recently is not a good time to collect rent.

Just as Yun Yici was worrying, Xie Qianjue arrived.

He was also somewhat shocked to see the injuries on Mu Yunjian and Ning Tinglan's faces.

However, he had other important matters to attend to. Xie Qianjue said to Yun Yici, "Young City Lord Ji has sent a visiting card, saying that he wishes to see Peak Master Wen."

Ji Heng was so frightened that she didn't sleep all night, fearing that Wen Fuyue and the others might not be able to stop that mad cultivator and would massacre Yinxian City in the middle of the night.

She had already written her SOS post and was ready to post it at any time.

A distress post typically describes the situation the person is facing, the assistance they need, and the price they are willing to pay.

Ji Heng thought to herself that if she posted this message, no one would dare to respond, and it might even backfire and anger the other party.

So, early in the morning, she squatted down at the entrance of the Xie residence to find out what was going on.

Yun Yici and his fellow disciples had originally planned to pay their respects to Wen Fuyue.

Upon hearing Xie Qianjue's words, he naturally went to invite Ji Heng in first, and then they went together to see Wen Fuyue.

Seeing that the younger generation looked well, Ji Heng knew that their conversation had gone very smoothly and that the mad cultivator had not made things difficult for them.

Her tense nerves were finally relieved, and a smile appeared on her face after she relaxed.

"It's true what they say, you become friends after a fight. I never expected that you would run into that senior's family members during your training."

"I wonder if Peak Master Wen could explain the origins of the relationship between Yinxian City and the Outer Pavilion?"

Wen Fuyue said, "Young City Lord Ji, rest assured, I have already communicated with that senior and explained the whole story. It was just a misunderstanding."

"He will no longer stay in Yinxian City to guard the outer pavilion."

Ji Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
