Chapter 589: Another Visitor

You Ji stepped forward and bowed deeply to Yu Xian: “Thank you, Young Master, for showing mercy and sparing the Ghost King’s life.”

“He is Bi Yao’s father. I hold no deep hatred for him; our conflict is merely one of differing stances. Now that the Demonic Cult is defeated, if he can restrain himself, perhaps he can still meet a peaceful end.”

Bi Yao sniffled, wiped the tears from her eyes, and whispered, “Thank you, Yu Xian.”

“Silly girl, why be so polite with me? It is very safe here. You two settle down and don’t worry about outside affairs for the time being,” Yu Xian said with a slight smile.

“You Ji, here, you don’t need to follow Bi Yao constantly. You should have your own life. If you wish to Cultivate, I can guide you so that you are no longer bound by the Ghost King Sect and can truly live for yourself,” Yu Xian then said to You Ji.

Now that they were in the Small World, why would Bi Yao still need protection?

You Ji’s body stiffened slightly upon hearing this, a complex light flashing in her eyes. She had served in the Ghost King Sect for many years and was long accustomed to obedience and guardianship; she had never considered that she could possess her own life.

“Aunt You, listen to Yu Xian. We are fine here. You have sacrificed too much for me; it’s time to think about yourself,” Bi Yao also tugged at You Ji’s sleeve and said softly.

You Ji looked at Bi Yao’s clear eyes, then at Yu Xian. She remained silent for a long time before finally nodding slowly.

Seeing that You Ji was willing to consider herself, Bi Yao’s face broke into a smile. She turned to Yu Xian and said, “Yu Xian, you are so kind.”

Yu Xian rubbed her hair and smiled, “If I can make you both happy, then I am happy too.”

Qingyun Sect, Yu Xian’s residence.

Lu Xueqi and Shui Yue met outside the door, both momentarily stunned.

“Master…” Upon seeing Shui Yue, Lu Xueqi couldn’t help but appear somewhat evasive and flustered, afraid Shui Yue would notice something.

Shui Yue looked at Lu Xueqi’s slightly red eyes and tightly pressed lips and understood immediately, letting out a soft sigh.

“Let’s go in and check. Although Junior Sister Yun said not to disturb them, standing here makes one uneasy,” Shui Yue said.

Lu Xueqi nodded gently. The two walked side-by-side to the door but stopped again, neither reaching out to knock first.

The inside of the door was quiet, without the slightest sound. This silence made both of their hearts leap into their throats, terrified of hearing any bad news.

They could clearly hear their own heartbeats, heavy and anxious, sounding exceptionally distinct in the empty courtyard.

Shui Yue frowned slightly. “Why does it seem like no one is inside?”

Lu Xueqi couldn’t help but be surprised when she heard this.

After exchanging a look, the two pushed the door open and entered. Indeed, the room was empty, not a single person in sight.

“Junior Sister Yun! Junior Sister Yun!” Shui Yue called out for Yun Yun several times, but there was no response.

“Master, could something have happened to Little Uncle?” Lu Xueqi instantly grew tense upon not seeing anyone, terrified that something bad had happened to Yu Xian.

Shui Yue was also panicking internally, but she had to maintain her composure in front of her Disciple.

“Don’t panic. Junior Sister Yun has always acted with discretion. Perhaps she took Junior Brother to find some Spirit Medicine for healing. Let’s carefully search the room first; maybe we can find some clues,” Shui Yue suppressed the panic in her heart and said sternly.

Saying this, she stepped into the inner room first, her gaze quickly sweeping over every corner of the room.

Lu Xueqi immediately followed, and the two split up to search.

In the end, neither of them found any clues, and they did not know where Yu Xian and Yun Yun had gone.

“Junior Sister Yun!”

At that moment, Su Ru’s voice came from outside.

Clearly, this was yet another person coming to visit.

Shui Yue and Lu Xueqi exchanged a look and walked out.

“Senior Sister?” Su Ru was curious when she saw Shui Yue and Lu Xueqi coming out, but then she understood. Who in the Qingyun Sect wasn’t worried about Yu Xian’s safety? If the Sect Leader Senior Brother hadn’t ordered that too many people should not disturb them, Yu Xian’s courtyard would probably be unable to hold everyone by now.

“Senior Sister, did you also come to see Junior Brother Yu? How is he?” Su Ru stared intently at Shui Yue, her tone carrying unconcealed urgency.

After arranging the funeral rites for Tian Buyi, she couldn’t spare any thought for her own grief, focusing entirely on Yu Xian’s condition.

Shui Yue looked at Su Ru’s red eyes, sighed inwardly, and shook her head. “The room is empty. Junior Sister Yun has taken Junior Brother Yu somewhere unknown. We are worried about this very matter.”

Su Ru’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. “How can no one be here? Wasn’t Junior Brother Yu on the verge of death? Where could Junior Sister Yun possibly take him?”

Her voice was filled with worry and confusion. Her gaze swept over the empty courtyard, as if trying to find traces of Yu Xian and Yun Yun in the air.

“Perhaps Junior Sister Yun has a way to save Junior Brother,” Shui Yue said this, comforting Su Ru and Lu Xueqi while also comforting herself.

Su Ru’s heart settled slightly upon hearing this and she said, “Junior Brother and Junior Sister have mysterious origins. Perhaps Junior Sister Yun truly has a way to save Junior Brother. We… we should just wait.”

Shui Yue nodded; this was all they could do now.

Su Ru looked at the empty room and muttered to herself, “Junior Brother Yu, you must be safe…”

Lu Xueqi stood to the side, her usually cold eyes filled with anxiety, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.

“Since things have come to this, instead of worrying here, we should first inform the Sect Leader Senior Brother so he can send people to keep an eye out secretly. If there is any news of Junior Sister Yun and Junior Brother, we will know immediately,” Shui Yue said solemnly to Su Ru.

Su Ru nodded and wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes. “That’s all we can do.”

The three stopped talking and turned toward the direction of Yuqing Hall, their steps heavy, a huge stone pressing down on their hearts.

Naturally, Yu Xian was unaware that three women outside were worrying about him. At this moment, he was accompanying Li Qingluo, Yao Yue, Lin Shiyin, and Murong Qiudi.

Although the women at home were taking excellent care of the four pregnant women, how could that compare to Yu Xian personally accompanying them?

Therefore, Yu Xian was happily busy at home, completely ignoring outside matters.

“Are you really not going to manage things?” Huang Rong asked Yu Xian when she had a moment.

“Mhm, I’ll leave them alone for a while. Once I ‘recover’ and return, my position in the Qingyun Sect will be secure. Then, I should be able to take charge of a peak, and I can bring you all to the New World. It’s great if the children are born in the Immortal Cultivation Realm; they’ll naturally possess Immortal Qi from birth,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

“Moreover, once my reputation spreads, if Old Daoist Zhang hears about it, we won’t need to look for him; he will seek us out himself. The Immortal Cultivation Realm is vast; who knows where he was teleported? If we can’t find him, we’ll just make a bigger commotion and let him find us,” Yu Xian had always been concerned about Zhang Sanfeng’s whereabouts.

However, in the vast sea of people, he didn’t know where he had been teleported. Furthermore, once his status in the Qingyun Sect was stable, he could ask the Qingyun Sect Disciples to help search, which would increase the probability.
