“I’m not sure about the specifics. Back then, the Fiery Scholar Tong Yaoguang only vaguely said she would recover after some time. It shouldn’t take too long.”
Ye Yu’s answer made Han Gu let out a breath of relief.
He stood there, gazing into the room with heartache.
Guilt was the kind of thing that fermented.
Once it sprouted, it fed on old memories and grew larger and larger.
After thinking for a long time, Han Gu spoke in a deep voice, “Whether it’s Han Yuexi or Han Qianzhang, they are both my children. I truly want to make it up to Yuexi. But right now, Qianzhang’s whereabouts are unknown. I’m anxious beyond measure.
So I still want to go look for him. As for Yuexi, I’ll trouble you to let her stay here for a few days.
Once I find Han Qianzhang, I’ll come back to take her.”
It could be said that Han Gu made this decision with great difficulty.
He knew clearly that it was not appropriate to see Han Yuexi again in her current state.
Since she needed quiet recovery, then she should rest here first.
But time was something Han Gu could not afford to waste.
So he had no choice but to leave—entrusting her to Ye Yu was practically sending a lamb into a tiger’s den.
Yet there was no other way.
Ye Yu nodded in agreement.
Han Gu turned to leave, glancing back every few steps. After walking more than a dozen paces, he suddenly returned again.
In a low voice, he asked, “What exactly is going on between you and Yuexi?”
“For now, we’re still just good friends. But if you dare keep nagging, I’ll really become Daoist partners with Han Yuexi.”
Ye Yu was truly fed up with Han Gu’s constant suspicion—afraid of thieves yet also afraid of being remembered by thieves.
So he decisively unleashed his trump card.
To Han Gu, it was a lethal threat.
He immediately fled while shouting loudly, “No nagging! Absolutely no nagging!”
Before his voice had even fully faded, his figure had already vanished.
Ye Yu curled his lips slightly.
When he turned around, he saw Heng Xuanzhen standing at the other end of the corridor.
Hm?
When had she appeared?
A gentle breeze stirred her long hair.
In her hand was a sheathed sword.
She stood leaning on it, radiating effortless coolness.
Truthfully, it was rare for a woman to look this dashing.
After noticing Ye Yu’s gaze, Heng Xuanzhen did not avert her eyes. Instead, she lightly clapped her hands.
“Fellow Daoist Ye truly is impressive. You’ve completely wrapped your future father-in-law around your finger. Quite different from the image I had.”
Hearing the teasing tone, Ye Yu smiled faintly.
“Haven’t I already explained? That was a parallel world. What, do you need me to turn into a big black bear before you’ll believe it’s the same?”
Heng Xuanzhen stepped forward slowly and gazed into Ye Yu’s eyes.
“That’s not what I meant. I meant your Daoist partners. Back then there was only Liu Yuenong. Now there are many.
Oh, and there’s also a woman wearing a dragon robe.”
Ye Yu’s heart jolted.
Among his Daoist partners, the woman in a dragon robe could only be Li Ruowang.
She had come to the God Realm?
Why hadn’t she come to find him?
Ye Yu hurriedly asked, anxiety evident, “You’ve seen her? Where is she?”
Heng Xuanzhen did not hide anything and recounted her previous encounter with Li Ruowang.
After listening, Ye Yu frowned deeply.
Nearly a month had already passed?
Why had Li Ruowang not come to find him?
He had given her a paired jade leaf of the Unity Heart.
If she had not come after so long, had something happened?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
He pushed open the door and said to Han Yuexi, “Stay here for now. Don’t go anywhere. Don’t do anything. Wait for me to return!”
Still uneasy, he instructed Heng Xuanzhen to help look after her.
Then he transformed into a streak of light and left the Ye residence.
After watching him depart, Heng Xuanzhen withdrew her gaze and turned toward Han Yuexi inside the room.
Strictly speaking, this was their first meeting.
Previously, Han Yuexi had been unconscious and had never seen Heng Xuanzhen.
Now, upon meeting for the first time, Han Yuexi smiled and nodded in greeting.
Heng Xuanzhen did not leave.
Instead, she picked up her sword and walked straight into the room, casually closing the door behind her.
In this not-so-spacious room—
There were only the two of them.
Han Yuexi felt a faint sense of unease and spoke softly, “Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am Han Yuexi.”
Heng Xuanzhen did not respond immediately.
She sat down opposite her and stared at her for a long time.
Her gaze was meticulous.
As if she wanted to see through her completely.
Only after a moment did she speak.
“What a beautiful goddess.”
Han Yuexi lowered her head slightly. “You flatter me. You are also very beautiful.”
Then Heng Xuanzhen began her plan.
Kidnap Han Yuexi? Kill Han Yuexi?
Of course not.
She would never stoop to something so crude.
Yesterday, upon seeing that the inner demon version of Ye Yu had so many Daoist partners, she had indeed felt uncomfortable.
But after returning, she quickly let it go.
All of it was merely trials created by the inner demon.
The real Ye Yu would never be like that.
Did the inner demon think it could provoke her into losing control?
Heh. She refused to play along.
It was nothing more than a false world and false divine beings.
With her refusal to admit defeat, Heng Xuanzhen chose to confront the inner demon head-on.
Come, let me see what kind of beings these false divine clans truly are.
At the same time—
Within Ancient Sword Gorge.
A woman in black robes suddenly appeared in the sky.
Looking down at the ruins below, she frowned °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° deeply.
This person was Heng Xuanzhen’s martial uncle, Zhu Cangwen.
She descended swiftly.
Arriving at the Heart Sword grounds of Ancient Sword Gorge.
When she saw that in the vast hall, only her own sword and Heng Xuanzhen’s sword remained—
Zhu Cangwen’s expression turned grave.
“Nephew-disciple, where have you gone? When the Divine Alliance was destroyed, you weren’t there. Now the Divine Alliance has become ruins, and you’re still not here.
My senior brother Lu Nian truly was blind to accept an ungrateful disciple like you.
It seems this time, you must die as well!”
...
Meanwhile—
Ye Yu traveled at full speed and soon arrived at a valley in Qitian Prefecture.
Just as Heng Xuanzhen had said, Li Ruowang had indeed come to the God Realm.
The Unity Heart Jade responded clearly.
Following its guidance, Ye Yu tracked the signal to this place.
The valley below was shrouded in auspicious clouds.
Yet Ye Yu could distinctly sense a thick stench of blood.
As the Unity Heart Jade descended slowly—
Ye Yu’s heart sank heavily.
Li Ruowang had only just arrived in the God Realm not long ago. Her strength was low. If she encountered any powerful divine beings, she would have no ability to resist.
Please... let this blood have nothing to do with her.
Silently praying, Ye Yu accelerated downward.
