The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The speaker was a clear male voice.

Yun Yici looked in the direction of the voice and saw two young men asking about the recruitment, just like her.

One of them was dressed in white, exuding a noble air, and only his profile could be seen. The monk who was speaking was dressed in blue and had a dignified and imposing presence.

What they had in common was that none of them carried swords, and it was impossible to tell what path they practiced.

The official in charge of receiving them said, "Either you find three more people to be your teammates, or you can sign up directly."

The blue-robed cultivator among the two youths asked anxiously, "If we both register, can we be assigned to the same group?"

The official, upright and incorruptible, replied, "After it's recorded, you will be assigned according to your cultivation level and preferred fighting style."

"I can't guarantee that you'll be assigned to the same group."

"You'd better make a decision quickly. Recruitment closes at 5 PM today."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yici couldn't help but interject, "Isn't there still three days left?"

"Three days? We need to leave some time for you cultivators who have never seen a demon before to train."

"To simply send you to the border between humans and demons would be to harm people."

This explanation was reasonable, so Yun Yici didn't ask any more questions.

She thought that if she didn't sign up today, she would have to wait until the next recruitment.

At that time, the basic task of ten demons may become twenty demons, or even thirty demons.

She was unsure of the specifics of the border between humans and demons, so it was best not to delay.

Just as Yun Yici was frowning and about to sign up, the two male cultivators had already noticed her.

The young man in blue's eyes lit up as he recognized Yun Yici as the woman who had shone brightly outside the city gate earlier. He took the initiative to greet her, "My name is Meng Sui. May I ask your name, friend?"

Seeing that the two were poised and elegant, Yun Yici recalled what the young man had said earlier.

A thought struck her, and she said to Meng Sui, "My name is Yun Yici. I overheard what you said earlier. There are three of us here. Why don't we go outside for a chat?"

Meng Sui was surprised that things went so smoothly, and he said happily, "Good, good, good."

Then, without forgetting to turn around and call out to his teammates, "Hey, Ah Heng, come quick, I've found my teammates!"

The white-clad youth, called "Aheng," turned around, revealing a face that seemed otherworldly and immaculate.

He had long, well-defined eyebrows and eyes as black as lacquer, clean and harmless.

Yun Yici found it difficult to describe the other person's temperament.

Unlike Wen Fuyue's gentleness, or Ning Tinglan's aloofness, he was somewhere in between, like a wisp of unfathomable cold smoke.

This person is not only exceptionally good-looking, but also possesses a refined and elegant demeanor, making it hard not to take a second look.

Fortunately, she was able to maintain her composure.

Yun Yici quickly withdrew her gaze and walked ahead, following the two to find a secluded place.

Seeing that no one was around, Meng Sui couldn't wait to ask, "Fellow Daoist Yun, where are your other two fellow Daoists?"

Yun Yici quickly calculated the time and took Meng Sui and the young man called Aheng directly to their lodgings.

Wan Nian naturally stayed by Shen Huaichuan's side.

After the five of them reunited, Yun Yici immediately explained the situation and then said to Meng Sui and the other person, "These are my teammates. Do you think you can accept them?"

Meng Sui immediately frowned. This pretty boy didn't seem very capable of fighting, while the one who looked like he could fight was a blind mortal.

He coughed lightly and said to Yun Yici, "Fellow Daoist Yun, may we come out for a chat?"

The two walked out of the door and closed it again. Meng Sui then lowered his voice and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, it's not that I look down on the people you brought."

"But he's just a mortal. If you take him to the border between humans and demons and don't keep an eye on him, won't you be sending him to his death?"

"Furthermore, you will have to take care of him. In that place, even a Nascent Soul cultivator could be devoured by demons if you are distracted."

Because of Shen Huaichuan's identity, Yun Yici never looked down on him as an ordinary person.

Since Shen Huaichuan didn't tell her to participate in the recruitment of Juexian City alone, she thought of including him and Wannian as well.

Meng Sui was disappointed, because he genuinely believed that Yun Yici was a good choice for a team.

However, if Yun Yici insists on bringing that mortal along, that mortal might become a burden to their entire team.

He and Pei Heng had important matters to attend to and no energy left to protect others.

After some discussion, Yun Yici was unwilling to force Meng Sui, and the cooperation had to be abandoned.

She thought to herself that she would go to register by herself today and then see how things went.

Even if we can't kill ten demons this time, once we figure out the situation, it will always be easier next time.

What if she finds a suitable collaborator during this recruitment process?

After the two returned to their room, Meng casually took his leave with the young man in white.

Before they left, the young man named Aheng suddenly said, "May I see your eyes?"

Yun Yici and Shen Huaichuan have not yet answered.

Meng Sui explained, "My good friend is named Pei Heng. He is a medical cultivator from the Medical Valley and has been devoted to medicine since childhood."

"If Fellow Daoist Yun trusts us, we can have Aheng examine this person's eye ailment."

Meng Sui was very confident that Pei Heng's medical skills had reached their peak, even surpassing many of the elders of the Medical Valley.

Healing an ordinary person's eyes is a piece of cake.

Yun Yici was surprised, firstly because the other party offered to help Shen Huaichuan with his eyes.

She had originally wanted to exchange items from the system to help Shen Huaichuan treat his eyes, but the system said it couldn't do it.

She didn't know any medical practitioners, and Shen Huaichuan remained indifferent to this, interacting with them as if he were a normal person.

She had completely forgotten something so important.

Regardless of whether it can be cured or not, she should take him to the Medical Valley first.

Yun Yici blushed with shame, but Shen Huaichuan, who was usually good-tempered, coldly refused, saying, "No need, you can't cure it."

Shen Huaichuan's ungrateful refusal changed Meng Sui's expression.

He said angrily, "Aheng's medical skills are excellent. Do you know how many people beg him for treatment?"

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Yun, we wouldn't have asked you!"

Yun Yici knew that Meng Sui was straightforward and that he was only saying this to protect Pei Heng.

Just as she was about to speak to persuade him, Pei Heng bypassed Meng Sui, who was blocking his way, and said to Shen Huaichuan, "Your eyes can see, right?"

"Your eyes are not blind, you have just been deprived of your sight."

"I heard that the first sect leader of the Bagua Sect lost all five senses and his cultivation was completely destroyed because he obtained the secrets of heaven."

"And you? What did you see?"

Pei Heng's aggressive behavior prompted Yun Yici to immediately stand in front of Shen Huaichuan.

Her gaze turned cold as she looked at Pei Heng and said, "Show him some respect."

"He doesn't know divination, but I do."

“I do see your future. Meng Sui will die, and two hundred years from now you will become an ugly monster with inner demons, and the entire Medicine Valley will be in chaos because of you.”

"What exactly are you doing in this place where humans and demons meet? Are you going to keep lying?"

*

*

Yun Yici was startled, surprised that the young man offered to help Shen Huaichuan treat his eyes.

The second surprise came from the young man's name: Pei Heng.

In the story, Pei Heng's Valley Master of Medicine Valley is disfigured and terrifying. Moreover, he is twisted, ruthless, and keeps many medicine servants for experiments.

The only redeeming quality is Pei Heng's medical skills, which are unparalleled in the world.

Ning Tinglan's connection with him naturally stemmed from the female lead's injury and her need to seek Pei Heng's help.

Pei Heng's condition was that Ning Tinglan must serve him for ten years thereafter.

The female lead knew that Pei Heng had ill intentions and did not want Ning Tinglan to be coerced into doing evil because of her.

So, while Ning Tinglan was out looking for medicine, he escaped from the Medicine Valley, but on the way he bumped into the crazy woman who was imprisoned by Pei Heng behind the Medicine Valley.

The female protagonist thought that the madwoman had been driven insane by Pei Heng, and felt pity for her, so she released her and took her with her to escape from the Medical Valley.

When the female protagonist was on the verge of death, she accidentally drank the blood of a madwoman and her condition improved considerably.

The two supported each other, and even the madwoman had moments of clarity along the way.

She claimed to be Pei Heng's friend's fiancée.

When her fiancé and Pei Heng went to the border between humans and demons, her fiancé died trying to save Pei Heng, and only Pei Heng returned alive.

She harbored deep resentment towards Pei Heng because it was Pei Heng who invited her to the border between humans and demons. Pei Heng had deceived her fiancé, claiming that he wanted to obtain the demon core of a demon cultivator to research a lost medicine formula.

Her fiancé believed it to be true and, worried about his friend's safety, accepted the invitation.

Little did they know that Pei Heng had set his sights on the demonic cultivators simply because the Medicine Valley forbade the keeping of medicine servants!

He wants to use the demon cores to raise demonic cultivators and demonic beasts, and to test drugs and conduct experiments!

After returning to the Valley of Medicine, Pei Heng disfigured himself and devoted himself to studying medicine. Later, he even became the master of the Valley of Medicine.

After that, his actions became increasingly erratic, with him lavishly employing servants and eliminating dissidents.

He expelled large numbers of medical practitioners from the Valley of Healing, and even assassinated the Valley elders who opposed him...

Pei Heng's actions were becoming increasingly outrageous.

As one of the few people Pei Heng trusted, she pretended to approach him and flatter him, intending to take the opportunity to kill him, but she failed and was captured.

Because of the death of Meng Sui, Pei Heng did not kill her, but imprisoned her in the Medicine Valley. He would visit her often and talk about Meng Sui from his youth.

The constant recollection of her unforgettable lover by the person she hated drove her almost insane.

Even if she really went mad, Pei Heng still wouldn't let her go, sparing no expense to treat her with rare and precious medicines.

That is why her blood can alleviate the female protagonist's injuries.

Yun Yici recalled the general plot and thought that Pei Heng had a good appearance, but was really crazy inside.

Fortunately, although this person is the Valley Master of the Medicine Valley, he is different from the righteous Lu Yiguang and is not a person of destiny.

Unaware of his tragic end, Meng Sui continued to speak up for Pei Heng: "Fellow Daoist Yun, you've gone too far!"

“We have no ill intentions, how can you curse Ah Heng like this?”

Yun Yici wanted to help Meng Sui out, but no one knew what Pei Heng, that shady character, was thinking.

Her statement was made without any evidence.

Compared to her, Meng Suiming clearly trusted Pei Heng more.

Meng Sui pulled Pei Heng, ready to leave: "Let's go."

Shen Huaichuan said, "I've done some calculations, and this place is your death trap. Young friend Meng, it's best not to continue."

Meng Sui: ? ? ?

Good heavens, Yun Yici just finished cursing them, and this blind mortal doesn't forget to finish them off?

Pei Heng, who had been standing there without saying a word, let out a long sigh and said, "That's enough, let's stop here."

This trip was a bold and reckless act, and he also felt uneasy about it.

Hearing Yun Yici say that Meng Sui would die, his heart ached even more, as if this would come true.

Meng Sui exclaimed in surprise, "Then we're not going to sign up for the recruitment in Juexian City?"

Pei Heng said that the formula he is currently researching is very useful.

Yun Yici thought to himself, "Fool. If you knew what would happen to you and your fiancée, you'd probably kill Pei Heng on the spot."

Pei Heng shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Asui, I lied to you. I wanted the demonic core of the demonic cultivator not to restore the medical prescription, but to use the demonic core to cultivate medicine people."

Demonic cultivators are immortal and indestructible; their core must be extracted.

He wondered if he could use the core of a demonic cultivator to cultivate a lifeless material that could be used for medical experiments.

Meng Sui was shocked and speechless, never expecting that his friend of many years would deceive him.

Pei Heng bowed to Shen Huaichuan and apologized: "I'm sorry, senior."

"What I just said was not an exaggeration."

"Our medical community does indeed have records of your case."

Yun Yici was surprised that Pei Heng would readily admit his mistake and explain the situation to Meng Sui.

Although she didn't know whether Meng Sui and his fiancée's fate would change from this, she had done what she could.

Hearing that there was a precedent for Shen Huaichuan's case, she subconsciously asked, "Is it treatable?"

Pei Heng shook his head and then said, "There is no cure, which is why I am so interested in this senior's eyes."

If studying the magic core had previously occupied most of his interest, now he was more interested in the eyes of this blind mortal.

If he could cure such a special case, he would have no regrets in dying.

The misunderstanding between the two sides was cleared up, and they were able to sit down, introduce themselves, and have a peaceful conversation.

Meng Sui asked, "If I return with Aheng, what will you do?"

With Yun Yici and his two companions, along with a blind mortal and a pretty boy, no one would want to team up with them.

If the three were separated, Shen Huaichuan and Wan Nian would die even faster.

Pei Heng thought for a moment and asked Yun Yici, "What brings you to the border between humans and demons?"

"Meeting is fate. If there's no compelling reason for us to go there, perhaps we two could offer some assistance?"

Yun Yici took out a recruitment notice from her sleeve: "Look."

She hasn't even registered yet, but she already owes ten demons.

Meng Suisong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's not difficult. Registration time is approaching today, so why don't Aheng and I register you first?"

"At that time, Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Wan will not be in danger of losing their lives if they stay here."

He felt a chill of fear; he hadn't expected Pei Heng to be so bold. It was only thanks to Yun Yici that Pei Heng backed down.

To meet Pei Heng's requirements, ordinary magic cores probably won't be enough.

Looking back, helping Yun Yici kill ten demons was a piece of cake.

Meng Sui was no longer stupid. He made up his mind to kill the ten demons and then retreat with Pei Heng!

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Yun Yici didn't have time to hesitate any longer. She quickly took Shen Huaichuan and Wannian and followed Meng Sui to the recruitment site in the city.

Except for Yun Yici, whose recruitment order was given to her by her superior upon entering the city, everyone else received their recruitment orders on the spot.

Surprisingly, Shen Huaichuan's registration went very smoothly.

After receiving the recruitment orders, the official in charge of registering them said, "Tomorrow at dawn, assemble at the city lord's mansion training ground. Enter with your recruitment orders."
