Ye Yu’s sudden intervention completely shocked everyone present. For a moment, no one dared to be the one to step up.
Everyone stood obediently in place.
Only in the corner, Yun Roumu remained restless.
Among all the women present, aside from the unfamiliar Lin Miaoxue, the others were all Ye Yu’s Dao companions. Some even claimed to have had intimate relations with him.
She was the only one left, “lonely and helpless,” as an outsider.
Yun Roumu didn’t want to be like this. She also wanted to be Ye Yu’s Dao companion.
Then she had to fight for it!
Moreover, being “punished” by Ye Yu was actually a great opportunity!
As long as Ye Yu dared to take action, Yun Roumu would dare to cling to him!
A woman’s purity, how could it simply be dismissed? If she got spanked, then that meant she belonged to Ye Yu.
If he dared to deny it, she would go find the sect master Luo Ze to seek justice!
With this thought in mind, Yun Roumu resolutely strode forward. She resembled a warrior charging for love.
The surrounding women immediately cast curious glances at her. Especially Tuoba Qiyue, who felt even more surprised.
What exactly did the Saintess want to do?
Before long, Yun Roumu stood before Ye Yu.
Just as she was about to speak the words she had prepared for a long time, Ye Yu suddenly interrupted her.
“Hold on a moment!”
With just four simple words, he instantly helped Yun Roumu hit the brakes. The courage she had just mustered was instantly shattered.
Ye Yu didn’t look at Yun Roumu’s expression. Instead, he turned and walked towards Lin Miaoxue.
“The fire poison in you has entered your lungs. You are in life-threatening danger at any moment.”
“This is the Water Essence I found for you; it can help you eliminate the fire poison. From now on, don’t use that cursed weapon anymore!”
Saying this, Ye Yu took out the Water Essence from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Miaoxue.
Feeling the weight of the item in her hands, Lin Miaoxue was momentarily overwhelmed. Ever since her brother Lin Fengyuan died, no one had given her anything, nor had anyone shown concern for her well-being
A wave of warmth surged in her heart.
She said sincerely, “Thank you!”
Ye Yu shook his head slightly. Then he sent a mental transmission: “The matters of the Ye family are a deception! Keep the Pure Sword Heart safe; I’ll explain the details after I finish my seclusion.”
“For now, listen to me and stay alive. Just stay at Wuzhi Peak for a few days!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoxue’s expression changed greatly.
A deception?
What exactly did Ye Yu mean?
Before Lin Miaoxue could think much more, Ye Yu walked into the midst of the women.
He said in a deep voice, “I need to enter seclusion for a few days. During this time, no one is to disturb me. And you all, if anyone dares to engage in internal strife, I will punish you severely!”
As soon as his words fell, Ye Yu transformed into a beam of sword light and vanished without a trace.
Leaving the women standing there, looking at one another in confusion.
Seclusion?
Why would he need to enter seclusion out of the blue?
With Ye Yu’s departure, the binding characters on Zuo Yingchun and Li Ruowang began to gradually dissipate. The two regained their freedom once more.
Meanwhile, Ruan Lianyue descended from the air, curiosity in her eyes, “Sister, where did husband go?”
Originally, Ruan Lianyue intended to watch the show on the spirit boat. But unexpectedly, Ye Yu had suddenly disappeared.
This made Ruan Lianyue anxious. After having just rekindled their relationship, she was in no hurry to be separated from Ye Yu again.
Zuo Yingchun rubbed her wrist, saying solemnly, “He said he went to enter seclusion; didn’t he go to the spirit boat?”
“No!” Ruan Lianyue frowned tightly.
Tuoba Qiyue spoke solemnly, “My husband must have found a place to enter seclusion. Since he has already said not to disturb him, we should not waste our energy trying to find him!”
Ruan Lianyue’s expression turned quite surprised.
“What? You also call him husband? Could it be that you’re also Ye Yu’s Dao companion?”
Li Ruowang sneered, “What’s so surprising about that? Every single person here is Ye Yu’s dao companion. Oh, except for her!”
As she spoke, Li Ruowang raised her hand and pointed at Yun Roumu.
The latter felt like she was about to crumble inside.
Is this public execution? Are they trying to isolate me from their little clique?
Ruan Lianyue scanned her surroundings, quickly counting the number of people.
She felt astonished—there were so many?
But why was Yun Roumu not included? Wasn’t she aggressive last time they met?
It seemed that Yun Roumu sensed Ruan Lianyue’s doubtful gaze, making her feel even more humiliated.
I lost, I lost, stop looking at me!
Lin Miaoxue raised her head to look toward the back mountain. She completely ignored what Ruan Lianyue was saying.
Right now, she only had one thought: what exactly was the deception Ye Yu spoke of?
And was Ye Yu really a descendant of the Ye family?
If so, why would he sabotage himself? But if not, how could he know so many things?
……
After Ye Yu left, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The situation just now, even without considering Lin Miaoxue and Yun Roumu, had still been a chaotic mess of eight women on the brink of conflict.
It was a terrifying battlefield—one wrong move, and everything could blow up.
Ye Yu could only cut through the chaos swiftly, taking control of the situation with a strong hand and leaving no time for anyone to react.
He then turned and left immediately. Staying any longer would only make things worse.
So, he came up with the excuse of going into seclusion, giving himself a few days of peace and quiet.
He needed time to think of a better way to handle things and, in the meantime, complete another dream simulation.
However, before that, Ye Yu had to first inform his master, Hongluan.
He could foresee that once he made his appearance, based on the temperaments of Li Ruowang, Gan Zhizui, and Yun Wuci, they absolutely wouldn’t leave!
It was highly likely they would wait here for him to come out of seclusion.
However, Wuzhi Peak was his master Hongluan’s mountain. With so many people suddenly arriving, he should at least inform his master!
Moreover, Hongluan was quite easy to talk to. As long as there were enough spirit stones, he could definitely convince her!
Ye Yu tightened his grip on the storage ring on his hand.
He arrived at Hongluan’s room and pushed the door open.
Just as he was about to greet her, he suddenly discovered that the wooden house was completely empty.
Ye Yu felt quite puzzled. At this time, shouldn’t Hongluan still be nursing a hangover?
Why wasn’t she in her room?
Ye Yu looked around and noticed a letter on the table.
He picked it up to examine it.
【Recently, I did a divination and discovered that my luck is through the roof. So, I’ve decided to go down the mountain and settle an old score. I will reclaim everything I lost before.】
【Also, Ye Yu, you brat—you actually brought that woman back here!】
【You’ve really made me proud!】
【By the way, that opportunity at Zhenmo Mountain I mentioned—it was originally a joke from me. But it turns out you really found something. Make sure to seize this opportunity!】
After reading the letter, Ye Yu’s face twitched a couple of times.
Master, you really know how to play! So the opportunity was a lie, huh?!
Ye Yu covered his face with one hand, feeling quite speechless.
But he didn’t hold it against Hongluan.
In any case, as long as Lin Miaoxue took the water essence, eliminating her physical hidden dangers, that was a genuine life-saving grace.
With that kind of debt owed to him from someone in the Ascension, Ye Yu could practically do whatever he wanted. In the end, this deal wasn’t so bad!
Without lingering any longer, Ye Yu returned to his own wooden house.
After setting up several layers of protective barriers, he began to simulate a dream!
