Chapter 188 The Gatekeeper Rabbit in the Twilight Clouds
Yun Yici escorted Shen Xiu into her room right under the noses of her three senior brothers, and then returned to her room right under their noses as well.
Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan also finished applying the medicine to Mu Yunjian.
The two saw that Mu Yun was determined to guard the door of Yun Yici's room.
Ning Tinglan suggested to Yun Yici, "Junior Sister, your room door is damaged. Why don't you switch rooms with me for the night?"
Shen Xiu was a man, and Mu Yunjian was also a man. Standing there in Yun Yici's room, Ning Tinglan was worried that she would feel uncomfortable.
Yun Yici said, "There's no need to trouble Senior Brother Ning. Just make do for one night."
The thought of having to watch Xuanzhu knocking on the wooden fish before going to sleep gave her a headache.
She didn't plan to sleep tonight and intended to cultivate all night, so it didn't matter if Mu Yunjian insisted on staying here.
The soft couch in Yun Yici's room was moved out during the day when Shen Huaichuan was there.
While the others were talking, Mu Yunjian had already moved the soft couch to the door on his own, blocking the door completely with the couch.
He leaped up, facing the door, propped his head up with one hand, and lay on his side, watching Shen Huaichuan's room warily.
After seeing Ning Tinglan and the other two off, Yun Yici was both amused and exasperated. She said to Mu Yunjian again, "Senior Brother Mu, Shen Xiu is not a bad person. You don't need to be so wary of him."
Mu Yunjian, in a fit of anger, leaped up from the soft couch and said, "If he's not a bad person, then am I the bad person?"
Yun Yici coughed lightly, not daring to say that, in a sense, you really are the villain.
Yun Yici: "Don't be angry, that's not what I meant. None of you are bad people."
Mu Yunjian: "I didn't see this person when I went out this morning. It's like he appeared out of thin air."
"Junior sister, don't think too highly of people. The more I think about it, the stranger it seems. How could Master's friend suddenly appear in the Demon Realm, and coincidentally in the Ling Clan?"
Mu Yunjian was extremely perceptive, and Yun Yici broke out in a cold sweat from the sting. Thinking of Wen Fuyue's instructions, she said, "I don't know either. Master said he would introduce us tomorrow."
Trusting Wen Fuyue, Mu Yunjian didn't say anything more.
He looked at the shattered seashells on the ground, and unusually lowered his head to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't know what he wanted to do when I saw him standing at your door."
"In a moment of desperation, I drew my sword against him, but he dodged it, and then I shattered the door."
"Why don't you move into my room and I'll stay outside? That way you won't feel uncomfortable."
Yun Yici knew that Mu Yunjian hadn't done it on purpose, so she wouldn't hold such a trivial matter against him.
She said, "It's nothing, no need to apologize. Anyway, I'm planning to cultivate all night. Senior brother, you've been sparring with your opponent outside and got injured. Why don't you go to bed?"
After the two disciples finished talking, they each closed their eyes and sat down to meditate and cultivate.
Nothing happened that night. When Mu Yunjian opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to check the movement at Shen Huaichuan's door.
Wen Fuyue felt uneasy all night and returned home early this morning.
Unexpectedly, I saw Yun Yici's doorway in a mess, and Mu Yunjian blocking the doorway.
Wen Fuyue was startled: "What's going on with you two?"
Mu Yunjian said with a straight face, "When I came back last night, I saw that guy named Shen Xiu lurking outside my junior sister's room, I don't know what he was up to. I accidentally broke my junior sister's door."
"I'm worried that Shen Xiu might break into my junior sister's room at night, so I'm keeping watch here."
Wen Fuyue was shocked and quickly looked at Yun Yici: "Is what your senior brother said true?"
If Shen Xiu harbored ill intentions towards Yun Yici, he would not keep him by his side no matter how powerful a sword immortal he was.
Yun Yici, who hadn't slept all night, naturally heard the two talking and hurriedly explained, "That's not the case. Senior brother doesn't know Shen Xiu's identity and must have misunderstood."
Wen Fuyue's face darkened, and she said to Mu Yunjian, "How can you slander someone without distinguishing right from wrong? You must not be so rude in front of Shen Xiu."
“He is an old friend of mine, and by seniority he is your elder.”
Since Shen Huaichuan appeared to have lost all his spiritual power, Wen Fuyue did not intend to force her disciples to call him Senior Shen, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Mu Yunjian was unconvinced, feeling that the person named Shen Xiu was even more annoying than the imperial edict. Wen Fuyue and Yun Yici both spoke up for him.
Although he was unwilling, Wen Fuyue's accumulated prestige was so great that he reluctantly agreed.
"Go and summon your senior brother, junior brother, and Wan Nian."
Yun Yici said, "I'll go."
Soon, Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan and the rest of the group arrived.
Wen Fuyue led her disciples to Shen Huaichuan's room, saying to them on the way, "Shen Xiu is a good friend of mine from the human realm. We haven't seen each other for many years. I never expected to meet him in the demon realm."
"He mistakenly ate the sacred fruit of the demon race, so he could no longer cultivate and was unable to return to the human realm, wasting many years in the demon realm."
"Since we've encountered him, I thought I'd take him back. He's lost all his spiritual power and isn't doing well in the demon realm... Sigh..."
When Rong Xuan and Ning Tinglan heard Wen Fuyue's unfinished words, they assumed that Wen Fuyue was heartbroken about Shen Huaichuan's blindness, and they each offered words of comfort.
Mu Yunjian asked, "Why does that Shen Xiu look almost exactly like the sword spirit of Huai Chuan?"
Wen Fuyue: "There are so many mortal cultivators, how can we guarantee that there aren't people in the world who look alike?"
"I was startled when I saw the spirit of Huaichuan Sword."
The group of people in the twilight had complete trust in Wen Fuyue, and their last doubts disappeared.
Wen Fuyue led several disciples to meet Shen Huaichuan, and then instructed Mu Yunjian to sincerely apologize to Shen Huaichuan before leading her disciples out to begin their day's cultivation.
The sea beasts near the Ling Clan had almost all been killed by Yun Yici and his companions, and since they had lived on the seabed for a long time, all they could see was a deep blue expanse.
Wen Fuyue felt sorry for her disciples and was hesitating whether to take them ashore for a walk when Ling Wan came to call her, saying that Li Ji had arrived and wanted to see Wen Fuyue and her disciples.
Wen Fuyue was worried that they would soon return to Kunlun and that the compensation promised by Li Ji might not be fulfilled. Unexpectedly, Li Ji arrived after only a few days.
Yun Yici followed Wen Fuyue and the others to the palace of the Emperor's decree. Li Ji was there, as was Lian Shitian.
Shi Tian stayed at the Ling Clan to recuperate these days, and Ling Wan dared not offend him, so she provided him with good food and drink.
At this moment, apart from his pale face and reclining on a specially made coral chair, Shi Tian did not appear to have suffered any serious injuries.
After Yun Yici sat down, Li Ji explained her purpose: "I want to go to the human realm with you."
Before Di Zhao and Wen Fuyue could say anything after she said this.
Shi Tianxian panicked and suddenly stood up, saying, "Aunt Li, what will I do if you leave?"
Li Ji said, "Do what you should do. I should have gone to the human realm with your father two hundred years ago."
"It's time for you to take responsibility."
