Chapter 232 - You've Finally Decided To Look For Me
The next day, Ye Yu and Hongluan returned to the Azure Cloud Sect from the Northern Wasteland Continent.
Upon entering the sect, Hongluan went straight to the main hall, saying she needed to discuss matters with Sect Master Luo Ze.
Watching her staggering as she walked, looking drunk, Ye Yu couldn’t help but sigh.
And she’s planning to seal demons?
Are we sure she’s not the one being sealed by demons?
The righteous path is doomed!
Ye Yu shook his head slightly, deciding to wander around Wuzhi Peak first.
Better than running into that old geezer Luo Ze and getting nagged at.
Just then, Head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Li Nian’an, came straight toward him.
Ye Yu wasn’t unfamiliar with him; they had at least been comrades in the previous demon eradication.
Naturally, he was about to greet him.
But before Ye Yu could clasp his hands in salute, Li Nian’an’s expression changed. He hurriedly asked, “Why are you back?”
This question left Ye Yu somewhat puzzled, “Uh, am I not supposed to come back?”
Li Nian’an then recounted the events involving the four women at Wuzhi Peak.
Back during the battle at Crimson Yin Cliff, Ye Yu had left with Yun Wuci.
Li Nian’an had lingered outside for a while, yet never saw Ye Yu return. So he had no choice but to bring everyone back to the sect.
But unexpectedly, they ran into the four women—Yun Roumu, Li Ruowang, Tuoba Qiyue, and Xie Muling—blocking their way.
Helpless, Li Nian’an could only reveal that Ye Yu had left with Yun Wuci.
On the spot, the Great Qian Empress Li Ruowang left the Azure Cloud Sect, leading nearly a thousand cultivators in a grand procession to the Guiyuan Sect.
Speculation ran rampant.
Many guessed that, given Li Ruowang’s domineering attitude, she might very well flatten the Guiyuan Sect, and snatch Ye Yu back to the Great Qian Dynasty.
Because of this, someone even started a betting pool, wagering that Ye Yu would absolutely be taken by Li Ruowang.
Of course, some believed that Yun Wuci had the strength to repel Li Ruowang.
This sparked quite the debate, with everyone holding their own opinions.
As for the actual result, there were simply too many variables.
On the day Li Ruowang left the Azure Cloud Sect, Saintess Yun Roumu also considered going to the Guiyuan Sect.
But when she tried to act that night, Sect Master Luo Ze blocked her way. The two seemed to have argued, but the details were unknown to anyone.
However, the next day, “The Untold Stories Between Me and the Saintess: Volume Three” began circulating within the Azure Cloud Sect.
“Bravely Pursuing Love: The Heartless Sect Master’s Path of Severing Affections,” “In This Love Affair, Who’s Truly the Betrayer?” “Four Women Competing for a Husband, Who Will Have the Last Laugh?”…
The updates were incredibly fast, and the content was thrilling, full of ups and downs, captivating the audience.
After hearing this recounting, Ye Yu’s expression was beyond extraordinary.
What on earth is all this?
Why did Li Ruowang come to the Azure Cloud Sect?
What was she doing here?
Besides, his relationships with Tuoba Qiyue and Xie Muling were purely those of senior brother and sister.
How could these writers just fabricate such nonsense?
Bastards!
One day, when I ascend to immortality, I’m definitely going to obliterate all those who write such nonsense!
Li Nian’an felt rather melancholy, thinking of his disciple Wei Aoshu. He couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
After some contemplation, he softly said, “Nephew Ye, some things are best decided early. Regarding Wei Aoshu, you should also give it some thought!”
After speaking, Li Nian’an turned and entered the main hall.
Ye Yu’s expression grew even more colorful.
Why did this involve Wei Aoshu again?
Heaven and earth as my witness.
Sure, he had quite a few wives. But Wei Aoshu shouldn’t count, right?
Ye Yu looked at Li Nian’an’s retreating figure. He opened his mouth, but then closed it without saying anything.
Forget it, better not to explain.
After all, no matter how eloquent the explanation now, it’s unlikely anyone would believe him.
He’d better find a chance to clear things up later.
Wait!
It seems something critical was overlooked.
The key point was, Li Ruowang had taken nearly a thousand cultivators to Guiyuan Sect to find Yun Wuci.
This can’t be allowed!
Li Ruowang, that yandere, was the kind of woman who could wipe out an entire novel’s worth of characters.
If she truly harbored murderous intent towards Yun Wuci, a thousand cultivators would just be cannon fodder.
She might very well mobilize the entire Great Qian Dynasty’s forces to obliterate the Guiyuan Sect!
Thinking of this, Ye Yu felt a chill run through his entire body.
These two were both his dream wives. If anything happened to either of them, he would be devastated.
But considering the time that’s passed, how long has it been already?
What should he do?
Hopefully, they haven’t reached a conclusion yet?
Ye Yu clung to a sliver of hope.
He immediately summoned his spirit boat and entered the last room within it.
Inside, there was a massive communication stone.
When Ye Liangyan had gifted him the spiritual boat, he had conveyed to Ye Yu through a voice transmission:
This communication stone was specifically crafted by people sent by Li Ruowang.
No matter where you are, it would allow easy contact with Li Ruowang.
However, this communication stone could only connect to Li Ruowang and no one else.
Such behavior was very much in line with Li Ruowang’s character—possessive to the extreme.
Inside the room, Ye Yu placed one hand on the communication stone, infusing it with spiritual energy.
After just a few breaths, the communication stone emitted a faint glow and transmitted Li Ruowang’s cold yet slightly delighted voice.
“So, you’ve finally decided to contact me?”
Ye Yu let out half a sigh of relief.
Why only half?
The fact that Li Ruowang could still speak meant that, for now, she was safe. As for Yun Wuci, that was still an unknown.
But if he asked directly without thinking, he feared it might provoke a rebellious response from this woman.
So, Ye Yu tentatively asked, “Where are you?”
“I’m currently in the main hall of the Guiyuan Sect. Are you coming to see me?”
Li Ruowang’s voice carried a hint of teasing.
Ye Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
The main hall of Guiyuan Sect?
Didn’t that mean she had already taken over Guiyuan Sect?
Then…
Ye Yu hurriedly asked, “What have you done to Yun Wuci?”
Li Ruowang’s voice turned colder.
“You contacted me, just to worry about another woman? Do you think that’s appropriate?”
Ye Yu was momentarily at a loss for words.
Immediately after, a gentle voice came from the communication stone.
“Don’t worry, husband, Yun Wuci is fine. She’s right here with us. The three of us sisters get along very well.”
Ye Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Th-this was Bu Lingfei’s voice.
How did she also end up with Li Ruowang and Yun Wuci?
Could it be…
Was it really like what was said before, that she could completely accept Ye Yu’s other Dao companions?
If that were really the case, wouldn’t that just make him soar on the spot?
Immediately after, Yun Wuci’s voice chimed in.
“Husband, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Hearing Yun Wuci speak, Ye Yu was completely relieved.
It seems like all three of them are safe.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a stroke of luck.
Ye Yu promptly responded, “Nothing, I was just thinking about something else.”
“You were thinking whether I would get rid of Yun Wuci, weren’t you?”
Li Ruowang hit the nail on the head.
Ye Yu instantly felt as if this woman was right in front of him. Those piercing eyes of hers were chillingly cold.
To avoid dwelling on this awkward topic any further, Ye Yu quickly shifted the conversation.
“Haha, don’t joke around for no reason. You three get along well, I still have some things to take care of here, I’ll hang up now!”
After speaking, Ye Yu decisively removed his hand from the communication stone, ending the call.
