The Taiyi Clan!
Ye Xuan was speechless.
What he feared had come to pass!
As if remembering something, Ye Xuan turned to Jingzhi. Jingzhi quickly shook her head, “This time, it wasn’t me who informed them. It’s because both my Holy Hall and the Ancient Demon Clan came here looking for you, which attracted their attention.”
Ye Xuan looked at Jingzhi and smiled, “Miss Jingzhi, have you made your decision yet?”
Jingzhi remained silent.
She naturally understood what Ye Xuan meant!
Ye Xuan continued, “Miss Jingzhi, I’ll give you one last chance! If you don’t seize this opportunity, I won’t offer you any more chances! Believe me, you’ll never be able to break free from this universe in your lifetime! Because the direction of your cultivation is wrong!”
Jingzhi frowned, “The direction of our cultivation is wrong?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
He paused for a moment, then added, “This is what Qing’er said!”
Jingzhi stared at Ye Xuan, “Is that true?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you!”
With that, he took Xiao An by the hand and turned to leave.
At that moment, Xiao An suddenly turned to look at Ye Xuan, “Why are you holding my hand?”
Ye Xuan awkwardly smiled, “Sorry, force of habit!”
Xiao An frowned, “Force of habit?”
Ye Xuan: “……”
Xiao An was about to say something more when Ye Xuan suddenly spoke, “Xiao An, tell me about this Taiyi Clan! I need to prepare.”
Xiao An nodded, but before she could speak, she seemed to remember something and turned to Ye Xuan, “Can you let go of my hand first?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Xiao An, you don’t think I’m holding your hand to take advantage of you, do you?”
Xiao An looked at Ye Xuan without saying a word.
Ye Xuan continued, “I’m not that kind of person!”
Xiao An asked, “Then why are you holding my hand?”
Ye Xuan whispered, “Hearing that the Taiyi Clan is coming, I’m a bit nervous. Holding your hand makes me feel more at ease.”
Xiao An looked at Ye Xuan, “Really?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Really! If you don’t want me to, I’ll let go.”
Despite his words, his hand didn’t release hers.
Xiao An was silent for a moment, then said, “Although the Taiyi Clan is strong, you don’t need to worry too much.”
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly, “I’m all alone here. How can I not worry?”
Xiao An immediately replied, “Aren’t I here with you?”
Ye Xuan looked at Xiao An, “Will you stay with me forever?”
Xiao An nodded.
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “Xiao An, you’re so good!”
Xiao An glanced at Ye Xuan, “Good at what?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Good at everything!”
Xiao An: “……”
Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak, Jingzhi suddenly appeared before the two of them.
Ye Xuan frowned, “Jingzhi…”
Jingzhi said, “The person from the Taiyi Clan who’s coming is Taiyi Shenshui!”
Hearing this, Xiao An’s pupils contracted sharply, “Taiyi Shenshui?”
Jingzhi nodded.
Ye Xuan turned to Xiao An, “Is he strong?”
Xiao An said gravely, “Very strong! He was already strong back then, and now he’s definitely even stronger! His strength is definitely above that of the Ancient Demon Clan’s leader, Gu Ming!”
Ye Xuan tightly held Xiao An’s hand, nervously asking, “What should I do?”
Jingzhi: “……”
Xiao An remained silent, her expression serious.
If Taiyi Shenshui also targeted Ye Xuan, then the situation would indeed become troublesome!
At that moment, Jingzhi suddenly spoke, “You can call for help!”
Ye Xuan looked at Jingzhi and smiled, “Miss Jingzhi, what exactly are you trying to do?”
Jingzhi smiled, “Cooperate!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “I’ve said it before! You lack sincerity!”
Jingzhi’s lips curled, “Sincerity goes both ways!”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Do I need you?”
Jingzhi was taken aback.
Jingzhi blinked, “Have you met Qing’er?”
Jingzhi stared at Ye Xuan without speaking.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Do I need you? As you said, if I can’t win, I can always call for help!”
Jingzhi rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, “Why do you have such a strong hostility towards me?”
Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled, “Because you’ve always been hostile towards me!”
Jingzhi smiled, “I’m not hostile towards you, nor do I dare to be! Young Master Ye, I have a plan. Would you like to hear it?”
Ye Xuan blinked, “What plan?”
Jingzhi walked up to Ye Xuan, her lips curving, “I’ll only tell you.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Xiao An is one of us. If you want to say it, say it. If not, then don’t bother.”
Xiao An glanced at Ye Xuan but said nothing.
Jingzhi looked at the two of them, then smiled, “Young Master Ye, you and Lady Anwu wouldn’t be…”
Xiao An frowned.
Ye Xuan looked directly at Jingzhi, “Are you going to say it or not?”
Jingzhi glared at Ye Xuan, “We’re both women, why the difference in treatment?”
Ye Xuan smirked, “You’re not my woman!”
Jingzhi smiled slyly, “Then is Xiao An your woman?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Damn it!
He’d fallen into this woman’s trap!
Jingzhi was about to say something more when Ye Xuan suddenly spoke, “Do you still want to break free from this universe or not?”
Jingzhi stopped smiling and said, “My plan is…”
A moment later, Ye Xuan suddenly gave a thumbs-up, “Brilliant!”
Jingzhi smiled, “Wait for me!”
With that, she turned and left.
After Jingzhi disappeared into the distance, Xiao An suddenly asked, “Can we trust her?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Xiao An looked at Ye Xuan, “Why?”
Ye Xuan said softly, “Because she’s met Qing’er!”
Xiao An was puzzled. Ye Xuan smiled, “Anyone who’s met Qing’er loses their arrogance.”
With that, he took Xiao An’s hand and turned to leave.
If Jingzhi hadn’t met Qing’er, he would never have trusted her.
But this woman had met Qing’er!
Not only had she met Qing’er, but she had likely been disciplined by her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to show goodwill!
…
Jingzhi’s Palace.
On this day, Gu Ming arrived at Jingzhi’s palace. In the grand hall, Jingzhi smiled, “Patriarch Gu Ming, please take a seat!”
Gu Ming sat down and said softly, “Ye Xuan’s strength is a bit beyond my expectations.”
Jingzhi shook her head and smiled, “Patriarch Gu Ming, I’ve told you before, never underestimate him!”
Gu Ming smiled, “Actually, I’m more interested in the woman in the green dress behind him.”
Hearing this, Jingzhi’s right hand trembled involuntarily.
Interested in the woman in the green dress?
Jingzhi looked at Gu Ming. She really wanted to jump up and scold him: What makes you think you’re worthy of facing her?
She admitted that Gu Ming was strong.
But he was truly not qualified to face the woman in the green dress!
Gu Ming suddenly spoke, “Miss Jingzhi, do you know where that woman in the green dress is?”
Jingzhi collected her thoughts and smiled, “No.”
Gu Ming looked at Jingzhi, “As far as I know, you’ve seen her through time reversal.”
Jingzhi smiled, “Indeed, I’ve seen her, but only once.”
Gu Ming asked, “Miss Jingzhi, how do you think I compare to her? Estimate our strengths.”
Jingzhi’s lips twitched!
Estimate your head!
She was speechless!
Seeing Jingzhi’s strange expression, Gu Ming frowned, “Miss Jingzhi?”
Jingzhi collected her thoughts and said seriously, “Based on my estimation, the woman in the green dress and Patriarch Gu Ming are roughly equal in strength.”
“Equal!”
Gu Ming smiled, “That’s quite interesting! I never expected such a person to exist in this universe.”
Jingzhi smiled, “Indeed, I didn’t expect such a person to emerge from this universe either!”
Gu Ming slowly closed his eyes, “I wonder if the Star Fate Sect has found any news about that woman in the green dress.”
Hearing this, Jingzhi’s eyelids twitched.
This guy really sent people to look for the woman in the green dress!
Jingzhi sighed inwardly.
In truth, she felt somewhat conflicted at this moment!
Did Gu Ming underestimate the woman in the green dress?
Of course he did!
But from Gu Ming’s perspective, he had already overestimated her!
After all, no one believed that the woman in the green dress had already transcended this universe!
Including her, initially!
When they first decided to target Ye Xuan, their fate was already sealed!
This was also why she chose to side with Ye Xuan immediately.
Kill Ye Xuan?
They would surely die!
Once that woman returned, no one could stop her!
With a wave of her hand, the Holy Hall and the Ancient Demon Clan would vanish from existence!
At that moment, Gu Ming suddenly spoke again, “Miss Jingzhi, I heard that Taiyi Shenshui has also arrived.”
Jingzhi collected her thoughts and nodded, “Yes.”
Gu Ming smiled, “What do you think, Miss Jingzhi?”
Jingzhi smiled, “Let’s join forces to deal with him and Ye Xuan!”
Gu Ming nodded, “Exactly what I was thinking!”
Jingzhi suddenly stood up and said, “Patriarch Gu Ming, my people have found Ye Xuan!”
Gu Ming’s eyes narrowed, “Where?”
Jingzhi said, “Let’s go!”
With that, she disappeared.
Gu Ming frowned, and after a moment, he too vanished from the hall.
…
In a certain starry sky, Ye Xuan was flying on his sword, with Xiao An by his side.
At that moment, Jingzhi and Gu Ming suddenly appeared before him.
Seeing the two of them, Ye Xuan’s expression changed instantly, “You… you…”
Jingzhi said, “Patriarch Gu Ming, I’ll hold off Lady Anwu! You finish this quickly!”
Gu Ming nodded. He took a step forward and immediately summoned his avatar!
Just as Gu Ming was about to strike, his expression changed drastically. He turned around abruptly, only to see a sword light slashing towards him!
The one who attacked wasn’t Ye Xuan, but Jingzhi!
This sudden turn of events shocked Gu Ming. He crossed his arms to block.
Boom!
The sword light shattered, and Gu Ming was sent flying!
At the same time, Ye Xuan and Jingzhi disappeared from their spots.
The three of them attacked almost simultaneously!
But at that moment, a shadow flashed across the scene!
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, two figures were sent flying!
It was Ye Xuan and Xiao An!
Standing beside Gu Ming was a middle-aged man!
When Xiao An and Jingzhi saw this man, their expressions darkened!
Taiyi Shenshui!
A powerhouse from the Taiyi Clan!
Gu Ming suddenly turned to Jingzhi and smiled, “Miss Jingzhi, from the beginning, my Ancient Demon Clan was using you, and you were using us. Did you really think I wouldn’t have a backup plan?”
Jingzhi smiled, “I underestimated you.”
With that, she turned to Ye Xuan, “Call for help!”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
I wish I could!
But how?
Jingzhi looked at Ye Xuan, “Don’t tell me you can’t call for help!”
Ye Xuan awkwardly smiled, “Today’s a good day. How about we let them off this time?”
Jingzhi stared at Ye Xuan intently.
Ye Xuan sighed softly, “Miss Jingzhi, do you think Qing’er would be interested in them?”
Jingzhi remained silent.
That woman probably wouldn’t be interested in Gu Ming and the others!
As if remembering something, Jingzhi looked at Ye Xuan, puzzled, “Why is your sister so strong, while you’re so weak?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I’ve been wondering the same thing!”
Jingzhi: “……”
