Wen Yun and Ye Shubai just looked at each other, and the thousands of emotions in their hearts did not need to be expressed in words, as they both knew it in their hearts.
Both he and she understood that so many new memories had been added in this short moment.
Not only did the evil cultivator succeed in his action, but he also gained a great opportunity for Wen Yun. First he gave him 100,000 spiritual jades, and later he gave him a hundred years of time. In this respect, he was indeed the most generous person to Wen Yun.
Ye Shubai asked slowly, "Have you realized it?"
He didn't elaborate, but Wen Yun understood that he was referring to the law of life and death, so he nodded: "Although I have only touched the surface, I have a vague understanding of it."
Ye Shubai's face relaxed. He had been brought up under the strict instruction of four masters since he was young. He had never compared himself with his peers since he started practicing. As for the three disciples he accepted later, they were also rare geniuses. Therefore, he had no idea what level ordinary disciples should be at.
However, he could still vaguely sense that the power of the laws of heaven and earth was not something that everyone could feel and comprehend. After all, the Delonix Regia had been growing there for tens of millions of years and was still safe and sound. During this period, many cultivators must have come here, but none of them could sense the power of the laws contained in it.
He said to Wen Yun in a serious tone: "That's good. This law of power seems a little difficult. Remember to comprehend it well."
She agreed and replied, "Yes, I am just getting started now and don't know how to apply it in actual combat."
Somewhat... difficult
If that evil cultivator were to hear this conversation, he would definitely want to tear these two people into pieces.
He read through the experiences and insights of thousands of top leaders in the entire demon clan over the past ten thousand years, and killed countless people for this, and finally he barely comprehended that trace of the soul law. Although he could only succeed three or two times out of ten, for the entire demon world, he was already the most terrifying demon cultivator with the most terrifying talent, and the hope of the entire clan.
However, Wen Yun and Ye Shubai understood the law of life and death just by looking at a tree. Do these two have the nerve to say that it is just "a little difficult"
Pah, so shameless!
Wen Yun, who is also a genius, has a strong tacit understanding with Ye Shubai in some aspects. She frowned and thought of something strange: "It is said that I shouldn't come out so soon after entering. Why did it end just when I realized it?"
It’s impossible that Ye Shubai lost his memory afterwards, right
When asked, Ye Shubai was still picking out the fish bones leisurely. The sunlight fell on his dark pupils, turning them into an extremely beautiful amber color. He raised his head slightly, and Wen Yun's face was completely reflected in it.
"I was the one who forced you out."
Wen Yun was puzzled, but did not ask further questions. Instead, he quickly glanced at him and asked, "Are you injured in the soul?"
Ye Shubai was slightly startled, and said softly: "I will close my sea of consciousness by myself, and everything will be fine."
Wen Yun bit the crispy tail of the fish, swallowed it slowly, blinked, and asked in confusion: "So you really weren't affected by him from beginning to end, and you can let me out at any time?"
And she was still foolishly worried that if she forced her way out, she would damage his soul and turn him into a fool
Whose fool is as smart as Ye Shubai!
He slowly put away the fish skewers. Although he said nothing, his attitude clearly showed his agreement.
Fortunately, Wen Yun's way of thinking has always been very different from that of ordinary people. Her first reaction was not to be angry that the other party had locked her in the memory world for a hundred years, but to doubt Ye Shubai's intentions.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally couldn't help but ask, "You won't let me out, are you reluctant to let me go?"
Ye Shubai: “No.”
Wen Yun's face was filled with disbelief. She raised her eyebrows and continued, "I understand. You must be greedy for my beauty and gentleness, so you are addicted to it."
Ye Shubai frowned and kept silent, but his mind couldn't help but emerge the scene of the girl chattering and cursing in his memory world. Yes, every time she practiced sword, she was chopping the buttocks of her four masters.
Beauty is real, but... gentleness
He looked at her deeply, but he couldn't remain silent after all, and said helplessly: "Stop making trouble."
Wen Yun knew very well that he was actually doing this for her own good. This was a rare opportunity given to her by the evil cultivator. During these hundred years, she not only retrained her swordsmanship, but also comprehended the law of life and death, which was on the same level as the law of time and space.
If it were someone else, who would risk damaging their soul and reveal all their memories to another person so frankly
Only a close friend like her and Ye Shubai would dare to do this, right
She smiled, gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and whispered, "You shouldn't have kicked me out."
He seemed to have a hard time afterwards. She thought that if she could have been with him during those years, maybe when he recalled those hundreds of years now, he would not feel so miserable.
Ye Shubai placed his hand beside her, letting her pull his sleeves. He lowered his eyes indifferently, and his thick eyelashes also drooped slightly, casting a faint shadow in his pupils, restraining all his emotions in it.
"The memories since then have not been good. There's no need for you to go through them with me."
The tip of Wen Yun's heart felt like it was pricked lightly by a needle that had been burned by fire, and it was hot and painful.
She then remembered that the best memory of Ye Shubai's life was just the hundred years that seemed boring in the eyes of others. Before that, he was an orphan with no one to rely on, and after that, he went through countless hardships.
He seemed to see the complex emotions in her eyes and brought the last piece of fish to her lips: "Don't worry about the past, eat it while it's hot."
The fish meat was brought to his mouth, and Wen Yun opened his mouth and took a bite comfortably.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Ye Shubai's attitude towards her was much gentler after he woke up this time.
There is a feeling of a kind master and a well-behaved disciple, completely different from the previous feeling of a doting master and aloof sword spirit.
Forget it, the fish is too delicious, Wen Yun admits defeat this time.
She should wait until she finishes eating the grilled fish before turning over and taking charge.
The inexplicable conversation between the two people sounded like a mystery to Zhu Erchong and Bao Pilong who were standing nearby. They had no idea what was going on. They only knew that Junior Brother Ye was feeding Junior Sister Wen grilled fish.
What's even worse is that they are people who are greedy for food, and this Junior Brother Ye is so abominable. Not only does he have first-class fish-roasting skills, but he also refuses to let them eat it after it's finished!
Zhu Erchong forced himself to stand up despite the headache, and his eyes fell on the grilled fish in Ye Shubai's hand. His throat rolled twice, and he gently reminded: "Junior Brother Ye, your skill in grilling fish is quite good. I see that the skin of these fish is burnt yellow, but the meat inside is white and tender, and the aroma is even more fragrant. I think it tastes better than the last time I grilled it, right?"
Bao Pilong, who had a tacit understanding with him, immediately understood and continued, "I don't believe it. Senior Brother Zhu's barbecue skills are well-known throughout the sect. Junior Brother Ye is unlikely to be better than you. Unless I taste it and then I can judge it."
Ye Shubai calmly fed the fragrant grilled fish in his hand to Wen Yun, and then said: "No need, I can't grill it as well as he does."
"..." Zhu Erchong was silent for a while, and said angrily: "Junior Brother Ye, we cultivators strive to be the first in everything, where is your pride as a sword cultivator?"
Bao Pilong also sighed: "It's true that everyone loves the junior sister, and the senior brother will never get any benefits. I shouldn't have competed for the senior brother of the fourth peak in the first place!"
The two were talking to each other when suddenly a tempting aroma came from the side. When they looked closely, they found that Ye Shubai had handed them a large handful of grilled fish.
"If you say anything more, don't eat."
He just leaned against the tree, his expression still aloof and difficult to approach, but the grilled fish in his hand was particularly down-to-earth.
Zhu Erchong and Bao Pilong immediately blocked their mouths with grilled fish and stopped being sarcastic. It turned out that food was the fastest way to replenish energy. Once the fish entered their stomachs, even their headaches went away!
The three of them were eating happily, except for Jiang Si who had a gloomy look on his face and was in an extremely low mood.
Zhu Erchong, who got along very well with him, greeted him warmly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you're welcome. Come and eat with us!"
Anyway, it was Junior Brother Ye who did the hard work of roasting, and he just had to open his mouth.
However, Jiang Si remained unmoved and kept his head down in silence.
Bao Pilong was a little worried and asked suspiciously, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is not right. Has he been possessed by a demon cultivator?"
Although they were knocked unconscious by Yu Qinghong... no, that demon cultivator, the demon cultivator was busy dealing with Wen Yun and distracted his suppression of them, so they more or less understood what had happened.
It turns out that Yu Qinghong was possessed by the demon cultivator! It turns out that the Xie family really colluded with the demon cultivator! It turns out that the demon cultivator was planning to possess their bodies!
With these three combined, it wouldn't be surprising if Jiang Si was really possessed by the evil cultivator.
Jiang Si looked at the simple-minded and stupid sword-cultivating group in silence. The depression in his heart was relieved a little. He sighed deeply and finally spoke.
"I have always thought that I am quite powerful among my peers, but I didn't expect to be defeated in one move."
"Later, when I saw the heroic performances of Junior Sister Wen and Junior Brother Ye, I felt even more ashamed. I had previously held the false title of No. 1 in the sword-fighting competition, but that was only because the two of them withdrew from the competition. Alas! I am far from being that good!"
It turned out that his self-confidence was hit. Of course, the chosen ones are not invincible, but they are at the top level among their peers. This time, they lost so badly that they couldn't figure it out for a while and it was possible that they had mental problems. It was also normal for them to feel depressed and angry.
I guess the two sword-cultivating brothers were forcing themselves to smile, but in fact they had been suppressing the pain in their hearts for a long time, right
Thinking of this, Wen Yun cast his gaze on Zhu Erchong and Bao Pilong, only to see that the two brothers were each holding a skewer of grilled fish and eating it with relish, looking as contented as two orange cats.
"… "
Okay, maybe she misunderstood the term "forced smile".
In fact, this really wrongly blamed Zhu Erchong and the other two. It's not that they really don't care about winning or losing. It's just that since they met Wen Yun, they were first beaten every day by this junior sister during their daily sword practice. Later, the even more perverted Ye Shubai came and crushed them completely in swordsmanship.
After losing so many times, I became a seasoned loser and my ability to withstand pressure became unmatched.
Ye Shubai looked at Jiang Si, who was devastated by the blow, and said calmly: "Don't belittle yourself. Your sword skills have improved greatly compared to your ancestors. Over time, you will achieve great success."
Jiang Si looked at the young pretty boy in silence. He had no idea of the other party's cultivation level, he just felt that the other party's tone was pretending to be mature.
"This... Junior Brother Ye? I understand that you are trying to comfort me with kind words, but you have never seen the heroic deeds of my ancestors, so please don't say such things anymore. Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother!"
Ye Shubai, who was called junior brother again, looked at Jiang Si steadily, and finally chose not to pay any attention to this arrogant brat.
Wen Yun: “…”
This young man, he has really seen your □□ Sect. She has also seen him. He was the one who kowtowed most devoutly in the Xuantian Secret Realm that year.
Fortunately, Jiang Si was open-minded by nature, and he quickly got out of the shadow of defeat on his own. He struggled to get up and snatched the skewer of grilled fish from the sword cultivator.
Wen Yun wiped the corner of his mouth, suddenly remembered something, looked up at Ye Shubai: "I wonder if Yu Qinghong..."
Yu Qinghong was a pitiful man. He was a young man with a bright future. He went to see the Xie family ancestor in a proper manner, but was possessed by the demon. His soul was killed by the demon cultivator when he possessed the demon's body, and his body was now broken.
Although he had never known this man, Wen Yun couldn't help but feel sad for him. He thought about finding a way to collect his body and then send it back to his family for a proper burial.
However, Ye Shubai glanced at Wen Yun and said inexplicably: "Maybe there is hope."
Everyone was shocked. Jiang Si and Yu Qinghong were both from wealthy families and had a good personal relationship in previous years. Jiang Si was heartbroken after seeing his friend being possessed by an evil cultivator and killed, but when he heard the four words Ye Shubai, he jumped up excitedly.
However, the damage to his soul had not yet healed. As soon as he jumped up, he covered his head and groaned, then sat back down. However, he could still not hide the joy on his face.
"Junior Brother Ye! Are you proficient in medicine and can you save Daoist Fellow Yu?"
Ye Shubai fell silent. He didn't feel comfortable telling these younger generations that he had touched the laws of heaven and could control life and death. And it happened that a trace of Yu Qinghong's spirit stubbornly remained, so there was still a glimmer of hope for resurrection.
Ultimately, it was because he had never been involved in the secular world, had no knowledge of the ways of the world, and didn't even know how to tell a good lie.
Fortunately, Wen Yun and he had a good understanding of each other. She immediately understood the reason and said, "Is it because Xuantian Secret Realm was created by an immortal and has abundant spiritual energy, so it can repair Daoist Yu's soul? I guess you have found a suitable place to place Daoist Yu, and are just waiting for him to wake up on his own in a few years, right?"
Sure enough, as soon as Wen Yun said this, the other three people all looked enlightened.
In the world of cultivation, any incredible thing can be perfectly resolved as long as it is related to immortals.
Jiang Si said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Junior Brother Ye! I had some misunderstandings about you when I saw your cold face before. However, you are willing to help us even though we have never met before. Now you are working so hard for Fellow Daoist Yu. You are really a chivalrous man!"
Zhu Erchong laughed loudly, patted Ye Shubai's shoulder with pride, and said with a smug look on his face: "We sword cultivators are all so chivalrous! In the words of Junior Brother Shen, what do you call this?"
Bao Pilong immediately added: "This is called - helping the needy with a sword, and I will bring justice to the world!"
The two turned their heads with a smile and asked habitually: "Junior Brother Shen, do you think I have learned the essence of this sentence?"
"Junior Brother Shen... Eh?!!"
There was no one around them. Where was the little junior brother who usually held a sword and acted cool and handsome
Wen Yun, who was lying down, immediately got up with difficulty. Shen Xinghai didn't talk much except when he was pretending to be cool, so she thought he was right next to her.
After Shen Xinghai stepped into the fog, he was ignored by the demon cultivators from the beginning because his identity and strength were too low, so he never appeared from beginning to end.
In addition, everyone was still groggy after waking up, so no one noticed that Shen Xinghai was missing!
After they found out that their team members were missing, they all became very anxious. Some drew their swords, some drew their knives, and said angrily, "Junior Brother Shen must have been abducted by the demon cultivator!"
"Hurry up and go find Junior Brother Shen. We must not let him be possessed by the evil cultivator!"
Wen Yun also tried to get up and go look for the missing Shen Xinghai, but Ye Shubai beside her held her down.
"I searched before you woke up, but I couldn't find any trace of him."
He said in a deep voice: "Although the demon cultivator escaped after being defeated by you, he was also seriously injured. Even if Shen Xinghai met him, he would not be in danger. On the contrary, it is you who are in danger if you meet the demon cultivator now."
Wen Yun personally cast the Holy Light Punishment, so she knew that what Ye Shubai said was true.
But thinking of Shen Xinghai's body that was particularly prone to disasters, she was still worried, and whispered: "I want to go to the magic stone vein and carefully search for his whereabouts in the monitoring array, and by the way, find the location of the magic cultivator."
This time Ye Shubai did not stop her, but he glanced at the sword trio beside him and frowned, saying, "If the three of them are not here to protect you and me, they might be in danger."
The three people who were looked down upon immediately became unhappy.
Jiang Si raised his broadsword: "I am the number one in the sword fighting competition!"
Zhu Erchong drew his sword and said, "I am the runner-up in the sword competition!"
Bao Pilong looked at the two of them and shouted, "I am second only to them!"
Wen Yun defeated them with a single sentence in a calm tone: "You fell down as soon as you came face to face with the demon cultivator."
This is what is meant by killing without shedding blood. Wen Yun's words successfully destroyed Jiang Si's confidence which had just recovered.
In the end, it was Ye Shubai who took action and carried this group of people onto the flying swords, taking them to the magic stone mine.
The three people hanging on the swords were blinded by the wind, and their brains, which had been sluggish just now, were now a little awake.
Jiang Si felt dizzy and every piece of flesh on his face was trembling in the wind.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu—" he asked Zhu Erchong in a hoarse voice, "Do all of you sword cultivators' sword-controlling skills fly so fast?"
Zhu Erchong was not much better than him. His hair and beard were blown to the back of his head, and his eyes were blinded by the wind. He shouted back, "No! Not all of us sword cultivators are as fast as Junior Brother Ye!"
Bao Pilong shouted heartbreakingly: "Junior Brother Ye, you are really too fast!"
"Junior Sister Wen isn't happy at all!"
"Only the male cultivators from the Tenth Peak are that fast!"
These three younger generations are quite noisy, especially Zhu Erchong and Bao Pilong.
I don't know how the Qingliu Sword Sect, which was full of cold and cruel swordsmen, could teach such a disciple? One generation is really worse than the previous one!
Ye Shubai remained silent, and without saying a word, he infused an even more powerful spiritual power into the wooden sword. As a result, the speed of his sword-controlling technique rose to an even more terrifying level, and the three people below let out ghostly howls.
After landing, the three idiots of sword and knife rolled into a ball, lay at the foot of the mountain and vomited all over the place, and fell to the ground unable to get up.
Wen Yun, who was standing behind Ye Shubai, was not even touched by the wind. His mental strength had recovered a little, and his condition was certainly much better than theirs.
She warned, "I will set up a spirit formation to search for Junior Brother Shen. You guys stay here and don't move."
The three people lying on the ground waved at her with difficulty. They couldn't even speak a complete sentence now, so how could they expect to keep up and study the spirit formation
So Wen Yun went into the mine with Ye Shubai.
Previously, Wen Yun only took away those small magic stones. The whole huge magic stone was not easy to take away, and she didn’t know what to do with it, so she simply left it where it was and used it as the energy point of the magic circle.
She walked to the Philosopher's Stone and placed her hands on the transparent stone.
Ye Shubai watched her movements silently, and suddenly said: "Don't force yourself, I can slowly look for him in the secret realm."
Although he had searched for this disciple as soon as he found out that Shen Xinghai was missing, he still couldn't find him. But Wen Yun had just exhausted his mental strength, and he might not be able to bear it if he searched for someone in a larger area.
Wen Yun turned around and gave Ye Shubai a reassuring smile: "It's okay, it won't consume too much mental energy in the middle of the formation."
After saying this, she did not stop for a moment and carefully integrated her mental power into the magic stone.
The originally plain-looking magic stone began to emit colorful light. Those were the various magical attributes that Wen Yun mastered, from the golden light system to the fiery red fire system. All kinds of colors gathered together, making the entire mine look like a fairyland.
A long time passed.
Wen Yun opened his eyes, withdrew his mental power with a strange expression, and looked back at Ye Shubai.
She spoke, but the first sentence did not reveal where Shen Xinghai had gone. Instead, she asked an irrelevant question: "Ye Shubai, do you remember how many days we stayed in Xuantian Secret Realm?"
"About twenty days."
"We came in about ten days earlier than them, right? After they came in, the Xuantian Secret Realm was automatically closed, and the exit would not be automatically opened until thirty days later." Wen Yun held his chin with his index finger and murmured, "But if this counts, it would be strange."
Ye Shubai asked: "What's wrong?"
Wen Yun sighed, his tone quite solemn: "I just spotted Qian Lishen and his men. He was with the Wan family and seemed to be digging for the mid-grade spiritual jade mine that you didn't value somewhere in the secret realm, but I only spotted a few of them."
"That is to say... whether it's Junior Brother Shen, Xie Xun, or the demon cultivator, they are all gone."
Ye Shubai frowned, and his tone became serious: "Could it be that Shen Xinghai was secretly harmed by the demon cultivator?"
"It's highly unlikely." Wen Yun shook his head and finally told the strange thing he had discovered at the beginning: "You may not believe it, but the exit of Xuantian Secret Realm was opened in advance."
