【The water nymph, Jiang Yue, stared at Ye Yu for a long time.】

【Finally, she remembered seeing a portrait in the matriarch’s room.】

【The person in the portrait looked exactly like the man before her.】

【But why would this person be here?】

【Because of Jiang Yue’s actions, the other water nymphs also gathered around. With cold expressions, they looked at Ye Yu.】

【They instinctively believed that this human cultivator must have harmed their kind before. Otherwise, why would Jiang Yue have lingered so long?】

【Ye Yu remained silent, but he was already fully prepared.】

【As soon as these mermaids showed any signs of aggression, he would definitely set up a formation to control them all here.】

【Yes, for Ye Yu, an Integration Realm cultivator was not impossible to kill!】

【It was just a bit more troublesome.】

【Ye Yu’s right hand, hidden behind his back, formed a seal. At this moment, the stars in the sky also shone brightly.】

【Everything was poised and ready.】

【In the end, Jiang Yue withdrew her gaze and said calmly: Let’s go.】

【Upon hearing this, the thirty or so water nymphs left in an orderly fashion. They leaped into the East Sea.】

【Everything returned to calm once more.】

【The corpse of Zhen Lang on the ground looked particularly conspicuous.】

【Some cultivators, after a moment of silence, began to slowly leave.】

【Seeing this, Ye Yu looked at Zhao Muchuan beside him, intending to leave with him.】

【But he noticed that Zhao Muchuan’s expression was filled with resentment.】

【He said, Is that female water nymph interested in you? Be honest!】

【When you two exchanged glances earlier, were you communicating with your thoughts?】

【Upon hearing this, Ye Yu was speechless.】

【Zhao Muchuan, Zhao Muchuan, is that all you can think about?】

【Just a glance and you’re smitten? What kind of logic is that!】

【Based on Ye Yu’s understanding of Zhao Muchuan, even if he didn’t admit it now, this guy wouldn’t believe it and would keep questioning.】

【So, to save trouble and to tease him, Ye Yu decisively responded: Yes, she is interested in me. And she arranged to meet tonight.】

【Zhao Muchuan’s face turned pale.】

【He said tremblingly: How could you do this? We came here together, and you’re eating alone?】

【No, you must introduce me to a water nymph companion too, or I… I’ll have it out with you!】

【Zhao Muchuan did not lower his voice. With these words, everyone who had not left turned their attention towards them.】

【Some even cast envious glances at Ye Yu.】

【Why should you be seen by the water nymphs? And have a meeting arranged for tonight?】

【Is your charm really that great?】

【Ye Yu felt incredibly awkward and directly pulled Zhao Muchuan away. This guy really says anything without restraint.】

【Even teasing doesn’t work. He actually takes it seriously!】

【How infuriating!】

【At the same time, beneath the sea, the water nymph Jiang Yue returned with her group.】

【After settling everything, she came alone to an area outside a reef.】

【She clasped her hands and said: Matriarch, the companion has been rescued. Moreover, I found a human who looks exactly like the one in your portrait.】

【After a moment, a figure swiftly emerged from the reef.】

【If Ye Yu had been there, he would have recognized her immediately.】

【This person was Su Yao, the senior sister he had been longing to find.】

【Now, Su Yao’s appearance was quite different from her image in the Lotus Sect. She had a fish tail with a hint of enchanting allure.】

【Su Yao approached Jiang Yue and hurriedly asked: Really, did you really see the person from my portrait?】

【After leaving the Lotus Sect, Su Yao had thought she could resolve the situation here quickly, but she did not expect it to be so difficult.】

【It took such a long time without a complete resolution.】

【With nothing else to do, Su Yao had drawn a portrait of Ye Yu.】

【She gazed at it day and night to ease her longing.】

【Jiang Yue had also seen the portrait, so she was certain that Ye Yu was indeed the person in the painting.】

【She informed Su Yao that he had been encountered on the Wuqing Island. He should not have gone far by now.】

【Su Yao’s expression grew very complex.】

【She then had Jiang Yue recount everything that had happened.】

【After listening, Su Yao’s expression remained complex.】

【Dismissing Jiang Yue, she returned alone to her reef dwelling.】

【Within a few breaths of time, a figure rapidly ascended from the seabed!】

【Several hours later, on the spirit boat above East Sea, Ye Yu looked at Zhao Muchuan with great helplessness.】

【He explained: How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? I was just teasing you earlier; that water nymph didn’t send me any secret messages at all.】

【And there was no meeting arranged. How many times do I need to tell you this before you believe it!】

【Zhao Muchuan laughed and said: No matter how many times you say it, I won’t believe it. I know, you’re trying to deliberately keep me away so you can meet the water nymph, right?】

【Don’t worry, I won’t delay you. When she arrives, I’ll only say a few words to her and then leave. I definitely won’t interfere with your good fortune.】

【Ye Yu’s patience snapped.】

【What is wrong with the world these days? Truth is disbelieved, while lies are taken as truth.】

【Is there no trust left between people?】

【Junior Brother!】

【A soft call suddenly made Ye Yu fully alert.】

【He turned around.】

【Under the moonlight, a familiar figure appeared.】

【It was his long-sought senior sister, Su Yao.】

【Ye Yu was extremely excited.】

【He immediately stepped forward, hastily asking: Senior Sister, where have you been all these years?】

【Before Su Yao could speak, Zhao Muchuan also approached.】

【Seeing that it was not the water nymph he had seen before, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.】

【So, this is the senior sister you’ve been looking for? What about the water nymph?】

【Hearing this, Ye Yu was furious and kicked Zhao Muchuan far away.】

【Get lost! There’s no water nymph, don’t disturb me while I catch up with my senior sister.】

【Zhao Muchuan pouted slightly. He turned and left.】

【As a veteran in romantic matters, Zhao Muchuan knew very well that when lovers reunite, they need private space. He was indeed out of place here.】

【After Zhao Muchuan left, Ye Yu gave an awkward smile.】

【He explained that Zhao Muchuan was just a friend, who meant well but always talked nonsense.】

【Su Yao gently asked: What about the water nymph? What was that all about?】

【Ye Yu waved his hand dismissively. It was just a misunderstanding. Senior Sister, I really missed you so much.】

【At this moment, Su Yao’s eyes instantly softened.】

【Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ye Yu already sitting cross-legged.】

【He began frantically pulling items out of his storage ring.】

【Various precious materials quickly covered the ground in front of them. Among them were also a dozen books on cultivation methods and many artifacts.】

【Su Yao couldn’t help but widen her eyes.】

【Junior Brother, did you rob a sect or something?】
