After the protagonist retired, the heroine quit

Regarding the matter of Lady Sanhua speaking, it seems that she will only speak and communicate directly with specific people. She usually just meows. You should know that even if it is Xiao Yu, Lady Sanhua is too lazy to pay attention to her.

If the situation had not been urgent, Xiao Yu might still be kept in the dark and unable to hear what Lady Sanhua said.

Ziyun, who was favored by the Three Flowers Lady and was an exception, nodded:

"Yes, that's right. However, I want to rescue Ye Ba. After all, he is also a member of our Yueying Sect and has helped us a lot. I just don't know what you think, Feng Ling?"

Hearing this, Feng Ling did not express his opinion immediately, but began to analyze it carefully:

"Well... if what you said is true, rescuing Ye Ba would be very risky, not to mention that the opponent is Long Wanyan who has already entered the Nascent Soul stage.

The Qingyun Floating Sect behind him is enough to give us a hard time. You have to know that unlike the elders and disciples who are just making small moves, Long Wanyan is the sect master. With one order, the entire sect could launch an attack on us. I can't figure out what Ye Ba did to provoke this behemoth Long Wanyan."

Feng Ling was puzzled. Ziyun curled her lips and said in agreement:

"So, what exactly did Ye Ba do? However, it seems that the cause is her." She changed the subject and pointed at the unconscious Li Yunshang.

"she?"

Feng Ling turned her head and looked at the unconscious girl. "Li Yunshang from Xuanling Sect?! I know her. It seems that she was in the Shanshui Dibao for some reason."

"Ye Ba told me that she was Long Wanyan's real target. In the beginning, Long Wanyan had been thinking about killing her, but she failed because Xiao Yu tried his best to stop her. This time Xiao Yu was captured by Long Wanyan. Strictly speaking, he stayed there to buy time for her to escape."

After hearing this, Feng Ling probably understood, "That's not easy. Anyway, Long Wanyan wanted to kill Xiao Yu for Li Yunshang. Saving Xiao Yu is not easy. Just bring Li Yunshang over to her. Once she arrives, she will naturally release Xiao Yu."

"This... seems to be the case, but Ye Ba said he would protect her."

"We want to save Ye Ba. We are not familiar with who Li Yunshang is. Of course, Ye Ba might get furious afterward. After all, strictly speaking, he was captured in order to save Li Yunshang. If we let her go, it would be putting the cart before the horse."

At this point, Feng Ling took a breath and then said firmly: "But this is the best way. Do we have to go head-to-head with Long Wanyan? I don't think the chances of winning are high."

It has to be said that Feng Ling is indeed the think tank of the team. He analyzed the interests of the matter in an orderly manner in an instant.

"Ah, this..." For a moment, Ziyun was a little confused. Indeed... compared with the tactics of mobilizing people proposed by Sanhua Niangniang, the method proposed by Feng Ling was more reliable.

Meow!

The meow sounded again, but it was not directed at Feng Ling, but at Ziyun.

"Eh? Oh...oh..."

Feng Ling looked at the so-called guardian elder again.

"That... Feng Ling, Da Hua said that your method may not be very effective now. If Long Wanyan is still angry at the beginning, using this method may be able to calm her down.

Now Ye Ba has transferred the blame to himself, and the nature of the situation has completely changed. Even if Li Yunshang, who was the trigger, is brought over, Ye Ba may not be released. On the contrary, the situation may get worse."

Ziyun followed suit and told Feng Ling everything that Lady Sanhua had said. After she finished, she felt a little confused about the incoherent words:

"So, what is Dahua talking about? Isn't this because Li Yunshang did something to offend Long Wanyan, and Ye Ba saw injustice and drew his sword to help, but accidentally got into trouble and that's why it happened?"

Ziyun has her own understanding of this matter.

The inexperienced Ziyun didn't understand what Lady Sanhua said, but the thoughtful Feng Ling's eyes sparkled after hearing what she said.

She looked at the unconscious Li Yunshang and murmured to herself, "So that's how it is. Although it's a little absurd and unbelievable, it makes sense this way. No wonder Ye Ba was able to get the sect's letter of introduction. In this case, sending Li Yunshang there would really backfire and make things worse."

Ziyun blinked. What was Feng Ling talking about?

After thinking for a while, Feng Ling retracted his gaze and turned to Ziyun and the cat again, and said thoughtfully: "Heisha, you are right. Ye Ba is a member of my Yueying Sect. Although if this continues, the marriage between Yueying Sect and Qingyun Floating Sect will help the development of the sect in the future, but after thinking about it, it is better to rescue Ye Ba.

In this case, we have to implement other plans.”

"What plan?" Ziyun's eyes sparkled as she moved closer to Feng Ling and asked. She really felt that Lady Sanhua's plan to recruit people was unreliable.

However, looking at Ziyun who was approaching, Feng Ling smiled slightly, opened her lips slightly, and said the same two words as Sanhua Niangniang:

"Shake someone."

"what?!"

Ignoring Ziyun's surprise, Feng Ling crossed his arms and looked at Sanhua Niangniang beside him. The man and the cat nodded to each other.

"This is the most likely plan at the moment. It doesn't require many people, just one, two, three, and four. Four Jindan realm cultivators are enough. Our Yueying Sect can handle it. After all, Long Wanyan is a Yuanying realm cultivator. She was able to enter the secret realm by taking advantage of a loophole.

Under this constraint, no matter how strong she is, she cannot withstand the combined attack of several of us. Once she can't help but use means beyond the Golden Core Realm, we will win.

The secret realm is a world of its own. For the sake of the secret realm's stability, once it is detected, it will naturally be excluded from the secret realm. In this way, no matter what the situation is, as long as we are not completely wiped out in one move at the beginning, it can be said that rescuing Xiao Yu is a foregone conclusion. However, after the secret realm ends, there may be some trouble..."

After hearing what was said, Ziyun, who had sorted out the situation, opened her mouth wide. On her dull expression, one could vaguely see a transparent brain shadow growing, shrinking and rotating.

She was lost in thought.

"So... that's how it is..."

This way, things become much simpler, and facing Long Wanyan doesn't seem to be a scary thing anymore.

"This is a good plan. It means that we just need to find Mr. Tie and convince him to save Ye Ba as well?! Feng Ling, do you know where Mr. Tie is?"

Feng Ling thought about it and was about to speak when the meow of Sanhua Niangniang sounded:

"Not far away. His scent is nearby. However, it seems like he's fighting something."

The three of them were talking, but no one noticed that, while they were talking, the eyelids of a girl lying on the rock trembled slightly.

Li Yunshang felt like she had a dream, a very long and disordered dream. In the dream, she was reincarnated as a dog just as she had said before she died.

A dog that is free and can be approached at will without being pushed away by Xiao Yu, just like the dramatic developments in the prison.

The girl who mistakenly put the collar around her neck revealed the relationship between the two at that moment.

When the protected princess wanted to put the collar around the neck of the dedicated knight, the relationship between the two changed and slid to an extreme.

The relationship that was once formed was broken, and I wanted to shape it into a closer relationship.

There are only two possibilities if this continues. Either they become master and pet, closely connected and never separated. This relationship may not be as good as that of a knight and a princess, but it is what Li Yunshang wants.

After all, pets and their owners will always be together, and will always stay by their owners' side, but knights and princesses will not.

The knight will not always stay by the princess' side. Protecting the princess is just his profession and his job. After completing the task of protecting the princess, he may leave the princess and retire.

A knight would not marry a princess, so probably the princess should marry a prince.

Ah!

Luo Family...

A super powerful immortal cultivation family, which controls large resource points such as Baijian Yunjing, is unable to grow due to its own limitations.

The Xuanling Sect possesses high-end combat power at the level of Spirit Transformation. The sect is not weak in strength, but its foundation is weak. The sect was established not long ago, and there is a shortage of spirit stones and mineral resources.

The result was obvious. The third son of the Luo family joined the Xuanling Sect as a true disciple.

On the surface, it is a meeting, exchange and learning, but in fact, any discerning person can see that the Xuanling Sect and the Luo family are trying to negotiate. Once the friendship is successful, the Xuanling Sect with its top-notch divine transformation combat power and the Luo family with its large resource points and strong foundation will both rise, and a stable connection point is needed during this period.

Although my mother didn't say anything, she arranged Luo Yanming to be by her side, saying that he was there to protect her since she had no cultivation, which to some extent showed her attitude.

Mother was already very tired. After father disappeared, she carried the responsibility of Xuanling Sect alone. She had not slept for a long time day and night. Li Yunshang saw it all.

Dad's wish is to make Xuanling Sect the largest sect in the world. Mom is working hard for this. As a daughter, she should also share the burden.

She has no cultivation, no spiritual roots, no talent or ability, and is not as good as her mother's new goddaughter. Perhaps it would be great if she could bring this little contribution.

Exchanging a mortal for the support of a superpower is a sure win no matter how you look at it.

But Li Yunshang didn't want to, because she had an agreement with her father that the person who married her should be the hero who saved her, right?

The girl was not ignorant. As time passed, she became more open-minded. She was waiting. Even though her behavior was arrogant, spoiled, and unreasonable, she was waiting for her mother to explain the matter to her in person. In this way... she would have a reason and the confidence to break the agreement with her father for her poor mother.

Unfortunately, until now my mother has never brought up this matter in the open. All the conversation between mother and daughter is about taking care of herself, living her own life well, not caring about other people's opinions, as long as she is happy.

Happy?

How could she be happy... How could such a good-for-nothing like her enjoy her mother's protection for nothing and just eat and wait to die?

The Xuanling Sect and the Luo Family were still in steady contact, and sending Luo Yanming into the sect seemed to be just for the purpose of exchange and cultivation, but the relationship between the two sides was stuck here and did not go any further.

Even her sister seemed to dislike her and targeted her everywhere. She was also very close to Naro Yanming, both overtly and covertly.

In response, the mother did not say anything, and seemed to have tacitly accepted her sister's defiance and provocation of her. When the two of them quarreled, the mother would intentionally or unintentionally take the side of her sister.

She can't do anything right... Without spiritual roots, she is just a waste. Anyway, her mother already has a new daughter and doesn't need her, so she might as well die.

The alliance between Xuanling Sect and the Luo family was no small matter, so it naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of their mortal enemies. So... a plan to kidnap Li Yunshang began.

What happened next was very simple. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect launched a surprise attack and Li Yunshang was in danger. She disappeared and wandered outside for nearly three months before she returned alone with a bloody corpse.

She was reborn with spiritual roots, and her life had new meaning. Her hero, or knight, disappeared without a trace or news after rescuing the princess from the quagmire she was trapped in, leaving only a clumsy substitute, as if the previous three-month journey was just her own self-touching.

A familiar feeling...

She was about to lose again, just like her father who left and never came back.

She refused to accept it and didn't want to lose anything again. The last time she lost something, she could only watch helplessly. She had no spiritual roots and no strength, but this time it was different.

She had spiritual roots, cultivation, and the ability to keep Xiao Yu. So, when Xiao Yu came out to investigate the situation that day, he plunged into the trap carefully prepared by Li Yunshang.

The princess decided to take the relationship with the knight a step further and develop it into a master and pet relationship, having him stay by her side forever.

However...she messed up, and the relationship slipped into the extreme, either becoming master and pet, or pet and master.

Li Yunshang became a pet, a pet that was abandoned. The collar around her neck proved everything. She thought it was nothing and the effect would be the same. Unfortunately, every time she pounced on Xiao Yu, he dodged her.

Afterwards, he sniffed around in a panic, looking for someone... like an abandoned dog.

Time and time again, unknowingly, she was getting further and further away from Xiao Yu, to the point that he was about to marry another woman.

When she thought of this, Li Yunshang felt a pain in her heart, she couldn't breathe, and her sword-swinging movements slowed down for a moment.

At that moment, the spear with white flames on the tip shattered the spirit sword and hit her. The flame on the tip of the spear instantly ignited with her as fuel.

The confused heart was swallowed by the white flames. In the chaos, through the firelight, he seemed to see a beautiful woman surrounded by flames, with white hair and eyebrows, who had a stern face and snorted coldly.

The fire was blazing, and under the flickering light, the woman's skin looked as white as jade, her skin was as white as snow, her hair was like rime, and her bright eyes were like a shining glass bead, sparkling with the color of snow.

So beautiful... She is a woman as white as snow, but she gives people a burning feeling.

Under the cold snort that penetrated her soul, the confused Li Yunshang regained consciousness, and at the same time, information from the outside world came one after another:

"Xiao Yu, I advise you to leave the secret realm as soon as possible. Amnesia is not an easy disease to cure. The longer you delay, the more dangerous it will be..."

The name engraved in her heart rang out, which shocked Li Yunshang. Her sense of touch also recovered a little, and a warm feeling came from her body. Unlike the heart-pounding burning sensation of the white-haired woman, this feeling was very warm and familiar, which made her consciousness, which had finally awakened, greedily indulge in it again.

When she woke up again, all she heard was thunder rumbling in her ears.

Lightning flashed all over the sky, but was soon frozen and sealed by thick ice.

It was still that familiar warmth, and she was still leaning in someone's arms.

But before I could enjoy this warmth for too long, a familiar scent accompanied by a hint of copper flowers came over.

Deng!

The ice shattered, barely blocking the attack.

A fiery breath hit me in the face, different from the reassuring warmth, similar to the burning heat of the white-haired woman, but not as palpitating.

is her……

is her……

Long Wanyan from Qingyun Fuzong, the bastard woman who stole her senior brother Yu away.

In Li Yunshang's hazy consciousness, her body that was out of control seemed to sense something, and her silver teeth made a clicking sound.

The heat was approaching, which meant that her warmth was about to be taken away, like a big fire swallowing a small fire.

Li Yunshang's heart, which had finally been warmed by a touch of warmth, became cold again.

But... what surprised her was: "Fellow Daoist Linglong, are you crazy? Did you want to kill her just now?"

There was a hint of anger in the hasty words.

Li Yunshang was stunned. Senior Brother Yu was protecting her and doing it for her, not for Long Wanyan opposite her.

Senior Brother Yu still remembers her and he hasn't abandoned her.

When he was unconscious, he stayed by his side, just like before.
