The arrival of Li Nian'an

brought joy to Li Ruowang, Yun Roumu, Xie Muling, and Tuoba Qiyue.

They all knew

that Ye Yu had gone out with Li Nian'an to exterminate the Red Yin Cliff.

Now that Li Nian'an had successfully returned,

Ye Yu should naturally be back as well.

Thus,

on Five Fingers Peak,

the four figures quickly darted forward

toward the sect’s front.

At this moment,

inside the main hall of the sect,

Li Nian'an was kicking a disciple in the buttocks.

"Shout, shout, shout!

What’s there to shout about?"

At that moment,

Qingyun Sect's leader, Luo Ze, entered the hall.

Seeing this scene,

he immediately called to a halt.

"Stop!"

Li Nian'an coldly snorted, indignantly cupping his hands in greeting.

But he continued to glare angrily at the disciple.

Luo Ze frowned slightly

and said in a deep voice, "Nian'an, you are now an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

You should maintain your dignity. Why are you getting angry with a junior?

Now, tell me, what exactly happened?"

The last sentence was directed at the disciple.

The disciple, looking quite aggrieved, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the leader, I saw Elder Li return triumphantly.

So, I sent a message throughout the sect

to let everyone know the good news.

This was the previous rule.

I-I didn’t know what I did wrong.

Elder Li just kicked me!"

"You still have the face to say that!

Didn’t I tell you to keep a low profile? Keep a low profile!"

Li Nian'an was getting angrier as he spoke.

He was about to step forward and deliver a few more kicks.

However, he was stopped by Luo Ze.

"What’s wrong with you?

Coming back victorious is a reason to inspire everyone.

It's perfectly fine to notify the entire sect!"

Li Nian'an sighed deeply,

wanting to say something but hesitating.

Then he waved his hand at the disciple.

Seeing this,

the disciple left in a huff, his eyes filled with resentment.

After watching him leave,

Luo Ze softly said, "Now you can talk, right? What exactly is going on?"

Li Nian'an shook his head slightly

and began to explain the reason for his anger.

The battle at Red Yin Cliff

was the easiest demon extermination mission Li Nian'an had ever undertaken.

He hardly exerted any effort throughout the whole process.

Had it not been for an ambush at the entrance of the Jue Tian Mountain Range,

Li Nian'an might have felt

he was just leading a group for a picnic.

By the time all the demons at Red Yin Cliff were eliminated,

the Qingyun Sect disciples hadn’t lost a single one.

Only two had suffered minor injuries.

Such a record was nothing short of incredible.

But unfortunately, when leaving,

an unexpected incident occurred.

Ye Yu had run away with Yun Ciwu.

What was that about?

Li Nian'an was not an ignorant youth.

He considered the situation comprehensively.

If he returned without Ye Yu,

Yun Roumu would undoubtedly ask about Ye Yu's whereabouts.

Some things could not be kept under wraps.

At that time,

Ye Yu had left with Yun Ciwu in plain view of everyone.

Everyone had seen it clearly.

If Yun Roumu learned of this, she would certainly be heartbroken.

Her partner had run off with another woman.

Who could bear that?

After much thought,

Li Nian'an decided to wait at the location for Ye Yu to return.

But after waiting for ten days without seeing Ye Yu's figure,

Li Nian'an had no choice but to lead the others back to the sect.

On the way back,

he had already planned to sneak into the sect, ideally without drawing anyone’s attention.

Then he would directly announce a closed-door retreat.

By then, if Yun Roumu heard about Ye Yu from others,

she wouldn’t come to bother him.

Only in this way could he find peace.

Originally, the plan was going well.

But all of this was disrupted by the disciple just now.

How could that not make Li Nian'an angry?

After hearing the story,

Luo Ze's face turned pale with anger.

The husband of Yun Ciwu from the Guiyuan Sect?

When did Ye Yu acquire this identity?

Wait a moment.

The empress of Da Qian, Li Ruowang, the saintess Yun Roumu, and the Law Enforcement Hall disciple Wei Aosheng.

Was Ye Yu really playing both sides?

What a love-struck fool he was!

Just as Luo Ze was feeling envious and resentful of Ye Yu,

four figures suddenly appeared.

It was Li Ruowang, Tuoba Qiyue, and the others.

As soon as they appeared,

they all asked in unison, "Where is my husband (junior brother)?"

Li Nian'an couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Li Ruowang and Yun Roumu asking about Ye Yu's whereabouts made sense.

After all, they were all partners.

But when had Tuoba Qiyue and Xie Muling also become so concerned about Ye Yu?

Could it be

that this guy had charmed both of these senior sisters as well?

Heavens!

Li Nian'an was starting to suspect that Ye Yu was the reincarnation of a succubus.

His speed in finding partners was too fast!

It wasn’t just him thinking that way.

Luo Ze felt the same.

Looking at the four women before him,

his expression turned quite unsightly.

His goddaughter, oh goddaughter,

with so many competitors,

why did she have to fight for him?

After pondering for a while,

Luo Ze directly revealed the news that Ye Yu had left with Yun Ciwu from the Guiyuan Sect.

This caused Li Nian'an to immediately widen his eyes.

Did he have to be so direct?

Was he really not afraid of them getting jealous?

In fact,

this was Luo Ze’s intention.

He wanted to make Yun Roumu feel disappointed in Ye Yu,

thereby giving up the thought of becoming his partner.

However,

Luo Ze still underestimated Yun Roumu’s obsession with Ye Yu.

Long ago,

Yun Roumu had met several of Ye Yu's wives.

Now that there was one more Yun Ciwu, she naturally wouldn’t be surprised.

Moreover, when Yun Roumu’s half-demon identity was exposed,

only Ye Yu had stayed by her side,

risking danger to help her obtain a talisman that concealed her demonic aura.

It was precisely because of this matter

that Yun Roumu was determined about Ye Yu.

She would only marry him in this life.

Thus, while feeling jealous was one thing, giving up was impossible!

Yun Roumu furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Did Ye Yu say when he would return?"

Luo Ze's face fell.

He felt even more upset.

Goddaughter, shouldn’t you be thinking about cutting ties with Ye Yu now?

Why are you still asking when he will be back?

Does your temper have to be this good?

Luo Ze snorted coldly.

He said intentionally, "He might not come back!"

"If he doesn't come back, I’ll go and bring him back!"

Li Ruowang waved her sleeve and walked straight outside.

She took out a communication stone.

In a deep voice, she said, "Set out for the Guiyuan Sect!"

The response immediately came from the communication stone.

"Understood!"

Meanwhile, outside Qingyun Sect,

ten massive spiritual boats quickly lined up in formation.

Nearly a hundred attendants began to retrieve information from the Guiyuan Sect.

Over a thousand cultivators ascended into the air,

kneeling to welcome Empress Li Ruowang as she left the sect.

Everything was orderly.

This was the kind of procession fit for an emperor's tour!

Inside the main hall,

Tuoba Qiyue and Xie Muling felt quite melancholic.

How could junior brother leave with another woman?

What would happen to their inspiration for writing?

How could they sense that unique feeling anymore?

Yun Roumu turned to gaze at the sky outside.

She squinted slightly,

beginning to contemplate whether she should also pay a visit to the Guiyuan Sect!
