Yan Yue slowly opened her eyes. There was still a trace of confusion in her eyes. Where was this?
She slowly sat up and supported her forehead with her left palm. Shaking her dizzy head, some of her wandering consciousness slowly returned to her mind.
Right, she had been hit by that man called Ai Luo. Thinking of this, Yan Yue immediately meditated and checked her body's condition.
Nothing!
Yan Yue opened her eyes in surprise.
Everything was normal inside her body, and there were no marks on her back. How could this be?
She remembered very clearly that he had indeed hit her. Yan Yue held her head and thought carefully. Before she had fainted, she had clearly felt a burning pain on her back, as if something had invaded her body.
If she hadn't remembered wrongly, then it was …
With her left hand on her right shoulder, Yan Yue turned her head to look at her back. She slowly lowered her left hand and lowered her eyes. What on earth had he done to her?
She closed her eyes and frowned for a few moments. When she opened them again, there was a faint helplessness in her eyes. What was the use of thinking so much?
It wasn't as if she couldn't do anything.
Yan Yue stood up and looked around. Morin, Little Grey, and Little Silver were all lying unconscious on the ground.
She walked over to Morin's side and put her hand on his back, enveloping him with her divine sense. After a few breaths, Yan Yue withdrew her hand. He had just fainted.
Turning around, she was about to check on Little Grey and Little Silver when Yan Yue suddenly stopped in her tracks. Only then did she remember that she had lost contact with the Tuantuan from the moment that the man in black had appeared. She hurriedly opened the contracted pet space and called out to the Tuantuan. After getting no response for a long time, Yan Yue could only sink her divine sense into the contracted pet space to investigate.
After discovering that the Tuantuan was only unconscious, Yan Yue felt relieved.
He released the Tuantuan and held it in his arms. He pinched the Tuantuan's nose. The Tuantuan opened its eyes in a daze. After blinking a few times, the Tuantuan asked softly, "Master, what happened to me just now? Why did I suddenly faint?"
Stroking the little fellow's round head, Yan Yue pressed its face against her chest and hugged it tightly. She said, "It's okay!" That person was too strong. She couldn't involve too many people.
Yan Yue found a rock and sat down facing the setting sun. The gentle breeze messed up her hair, and her shadow was beautiful and lonely. Yan Yue sat like that, looking at the setting sun, and didn't speak for a long time.
The sun set in the west, and the clouds were red like blood. The curtain of darkness gradually approached, and the full moon slowly climbed into the starry sky. The faint moonlight seemed silent and desolate.
During this time, Morin, Little Grey, and Little Silver woke up one after another, but no one dared to disturb Yan Yue. She continued to sit like that, and no one knew what she was thinking.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Yan Yue closed her eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. She stood up and turned around, as if she had made a decision.
Slowly walking in front of the two white lions, Yan Yue's eyes were still cold as she said, "Go back to where you belong."
Yan Yue believed that Little Grey and Little Silver understood what she meant.
The two white lions were stunned, and circled around Yan Yue. Seeing that Yan Yue didn't look at them and didn't have any intention of speaking again, they lowered their heads and whimpered a few times at Yan Yue. After a long while, the two white lions reluctantly turned around and left. Every few steps they took, they would look back, as if hoping that Yan Yue would change her mind. At this moment, however, Yan Yue closed her eyes and ignored them.
The two white lions looked back every few steps, and gradually walked further and further away, slowly fading out of sight.
Morin didn't say a word from beginning to end. If it was in the past, he would definitely ask why, but this time, he held himself back. He believed that Her Lord had her reasons for doing things, and he couldn't not improve. Asking why every time was meaningless and would only annoy Her Lord.
Morin stepped closer to Yan Yue. He only hoped that he wouldn't be chased away.
Holding up the Tuantuan with both hands, Yan Yue looked straight into the pair of big round eyes and said, "Tuantuan, I'll have to trouble you."
The Tuantuan nodded and flapped its wings to fly into the sky. Its originally small body was rapidly growing, and a powerful aura was also emitted. With a cry, it scared away many of the surrounding low-level demonic beasts.
The Tuantuan folded its wings and landed on the ground. Yan Yue stood there at this moment, looking very small. She turned over and climbed onto the Tuantuan's back. From afar, Yan Yue couldn't be seen at all, only a small black dot.
Morin also climbed up and sat down not far behind Yan Yue. He couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be able to experience the feeling of flying before reaching the Jindan Period. Last time, he was fixed in place and didn't get to enjoy the feeling of flying. This time, he must have a good experience.
"Let's go!"
Yan Yue ordered. Hearing Yan Yue's words, the Tuantuan flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Yan Yue's white robes fluttered in the wind. At this moment, they were already in mid-air, bursting towards the inland.
Level seven demonic beasts were rare, and a level seven demonic beast that could fly was even more precious. One must know that cultivators could only fly during the Jindan Period. Therefore, Tuantuan demonic beasts below the Jindan Period were very popular. Even during the Jindan Period, Tuantuan demonic beasts were considered precious. She was only at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so it was a great advantage.
To be able to obtain a Tuantuan, she should cherish it.
If she really lost it, it would be because she was too useless.
After adapting to the strong wind in the sky, Yan Yue also sat down cross-legged and said, "Do you know where the alchemy skills are better?"
"Alchemy skills?"
Morin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "If we're talking about alchemy skills, Ming Huan Hall is worthy of being called the holy land of alchemy. I once heard that their hall master can refine fake level one immortal pills. I don't know if that's true or false. Right, Master, why are you asking this?"
Yan Yue looked ahead and replied, "Then why don't you go and learn?"
Morin was stunned and forced a smile, "Master, don't joke around. Aren't we going to be loose cultivators together? Besides, with my aptitude, they won't accept me."
Although he said that, he was afraid in his heart. He was worried that Master wanted to abandon him.
"I can't teach you anything, and I don't want a useless subordinate."
"Master, are you chasing me away?"
Morin's voice trembled. Could it be that Master really didn't want him anymore? No, he didn't want to leave Master.
Yan Yue frowned slightly and said, "I don't remember saying that I would give you complete freedom."
Morin was stunned for a moment. Ah!
So Master didn't want to abandon him. That's great!
"Master, this subordinate is willing. But Master, what about you?
Where are you going?
Are you coming with me? If it's Master, it will be very easy to be selected. "
"The Tianyi Sect is a good choice." Yan Yue looked at Morin and said, "Do your own thing. If there's anything, I'll contact you."
"Yes, this subordinate understands."
— —
Wasn't it said that the interior was more prosperous? Why was it so quiet today?
Looking at the sparse crowd in front of her, Yan Yue couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Two months had passed since she parted with Morin.
After sending Mo Lin to the location of Ming Huan Hall, she rode on Tuan Tuan and flew all the way to Tianyi City. Along the way, she ran into some big and small troubles, which delayed her time. It took her a whole two months.
Today, she arrived here. Unexpectedly, this place was much quieter than she imagined.
Yan Yue was walking on the road. At this time, she heard very close footsteps. The footsteps were steady and powerful. Behind them, there were some orderly footsteps. Presumably, there were quite a few people.
Yan Yue didn't want to be nosy, so she moved to the side. Unexpectedly, the footsteps walked straight towards her.
Ignoring the people behind her, Yan Yue continued walking. After a few breaths, a soft voice called out to Yan Yue.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
Yan Yue slightly frowned and then loosened her brows. Only then did she stop and slowly turn around. The Tuantuan also unhappily whimpered a few times to the person behind her.
The person who came was dressed in bright yellow luxurious clothes with a light orange overshirt draped over it. A light orange wide belt was tightly tied around his waist. Two golden bells were strung on two red strings. The long tail of the red strings swayed freely with the wind. He wore a string of purple beads on his right hand. The man's black hair was glossy. The slightly curled ends of his hair added a bit of playfulness to him. He had a pair of eyes as bright as the summer sky. There was always a faint smile in his eyes, and occasionally, a trace of domineering aura would flash past.
His lips were slightly curved upwards. His upper lip was slightly thin. When he smiled, it always brought a bit of warmth.
That person saw that Yan Yue didn't answer, so he continued to ask, "Little Brother, do you know what day it is today?
Why is the street so quiet? "
Little Brother?
Yan Yue was speechless. How long had it been? From Fellow Daoist to Little Brother?
"I don't know." Yan Yue simply replied to that person. She directly turned around and continued to walk forward.
"Impudent!
How dare you be rude to Young Master! "Before that person could say anything, the people behind him shouted.
"Don't be rude," the man said to those people behind him. When he said this, the man's eyes didn't have the slightest trace of a smile. Even his voice revealed a trace of coldness.
He turned around and chased after Yan Yue. This time, those people behind him didn't dare to say anything. They just blindly followed.
The man and Yan Yue walked side by side. Yan Yue wasn't tall. She only reached his neck. Normally, it wouldn't be noticeable. Now that she compared herself with him, she realized that she was actually so short. Indeed, ever since she ate the Ageless Pill, her height didn't grow at all. However, Yan Yue wasn't worried. Once the Ageless Pill's effects wore off, she would naturally grow back.
The man glanced at Yan Yue and asked, "Where are you going?"
"The Tianyi Sect."
"Yi!
'Really?'
What a coincidence!
Me too. Let's go together. "As he spoke, the man raised his right hand, intending to put it on Yan Yue's shoulder. Yan Yue used her spiritual power to try to push the man's hand away. However, her spiritual power suddenly felt a trace of vibration. Yan Yue was slightly stunned. The man's hand was already on her shoulder. Yan Yue didn't pay attention to this. She just turned her head and looked at the purple bead. Her eyes flashed with a faint light of contemplation.
A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with a lot of magic weapons. Yan Yue sneered. She didn't resist and let the man put his hand on her shoulder.
Along the way, the man chattered non-stop. Yan Yue didn't say a word, but he was still happy. This reminded Yan Yue of a person, Xu Ya. In the past, he was also very talkative. However, compared to the man today, he was much more inferior.
Yan Yue just treated it as if she was listening to a monk chanting scriptures. She didn't pay attention or respond.
Yan Yue didn't know how to get to the Tianyi Sect. At first, she just wandered around aimlessly.
The man put his hand on Yan Yue's shoulder and led her to turn left and right. After walking for a while, the shadows of several mountain peaks slowly appeared in front of them.
On these mountain peaks, there seemed to be no sunlight all year round. The clouds were dark. The peaks were steep and isolated. Layers of fog surrounded them, making it impossible to see the bottom. It was completely different from the weather outside. The mountain peaks seemed to be always cloudy. The rolling fog was like a surging sea. You couldn't see clearly even if you wanted to.
Was this the Tianyi Sect?
Yan Yue's heart was filled with doubts. Why did it look like a place where the devil clan lived? It was strange and eerie.
Withdrawing her gaze from the mountain peaks, Yan Yue looked in front of her. There was a surging tide of people. It was very lively.
It seemed that everyone in the city had gathered here. No wonder the streets were so empty.
Letting go of the hand on Yan Yue's shoulder, the man took a few steps forward. He was rather puzzled. "Yi, why is it like this? The day of accepting disciples should have ended three days ago."
The man turned his head and said to someone behind him, "You, go and see what's going on."
That person bowed and replied, "Yes, Young Master."
Yan Yue stood there without moving. She also wanted to know what was going on. Why were there so many people gathered here? She heard that the Tianyi Sect had recently opened its doors to accept disciples. Could it be for this matter?
If it was, she hoped that she wouldn't miss it.
It was rare for her to harden her heart and do something rationally.
