The Bold Ye Xingyun
Lingxiao Immortal City.
Disaster-Free Inn.
Zhang Hongxi, now with a completely different appearance, entered the inn, feeling both excited and apprehensive.
Three days ago, she received a letter from the person she had been waiting for.
It was Ye Xingyun; Ye Xingyun had come to find her.
But why now?
Still in Lingxiao Immortal City?!
Looking at the noisy crowd around her, Zhang Hongxi took a deep breath and tried her best to appear natural.
We went directly to room number 18 on the third floor.
I knocked on the door.
A deep, hoarse voice came from inside the house. "Who is it?"
Zhang Hongxi replied using the pseudonym mentioned in the letter, "My name is Xi Hong."
The sound faded.
The door opened automatically.
After Zhang Hongxi entered, he closed the door behind him.
He took out a Second-tier Top-grade Soundproof Array plate and was about to set it up when he was interrupted by a voice:
"Hongxi, there's no need for that. I've already set up three Third Stage Formation in this room."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongxi stopped and looked up at the handsome young man standing Spiritwood Table, wearing a black cloak and smiling at her.
Suddenly, my nose stung, and tears welled up in my eyes.
His appearance was restored to its original state.
He lunged at Ye Xingyun, repeatedly pounding Ye Xingyun's chest with his right fist.
"Did you read the letter I had someone deliver to you six years ago?"
Why didn't you come to the Zhang Family after seeing this?
Why didn't you come?
Zhang Hongxi's voice was choked with sobs, her words filled with heartache and a hint of resentment.
"The Clan Leader said he can provide you with protection."
He has ways to prevent you from being discovered by the forces of the Southern Bright Flame Palace in the Vermilion Bird Sea Domain.
Why didn't you come?
Six years ago, after receiving a secret letter from Ye Xingyun, Zhang Hongxi immediately informed Zhang Xuanchen.
Zhang Xuanchen also agreed to protect him and ensure his safety.
The matter of the Starry Secret Realm.
Although Ye Xingyun was hunted down by the combined forces of the Southern Bright Flame Palace, Eastern Lan Wei Family, and Senluo Hall because he himself did not want to hand over the Secret Realm, Luo Lingshuang and Wuxin were also partly to blame.
After all, the true Secret Realm of the Starry Secret Realm was obtained by the Zhang Family.
If Ye Xingyun were just a complete stranger, Zhang Xuanchen would certainly not have any psychological burden.
That's just how it is in the cultivation world; if you're unwilling to hand over your treasures, then you have to bear the consequences.
But Ye Xingyun is not.
He is Zhang Hongxi's lover.
Furthermore, Ye Xingyun possesses remarkable talent in Formation and Spirit Talisman, making him seem like a man destined for greatness.
Most importantly, Zhang Xuanchen was indeed confident that he could keep Ye Xingyun living in the Zhang Family without being discovered by the forces of the Southern Bright Flame Palace.
Without family ties, shared values, and the assurance of protection, Zhang Xuanchen would not agree to this matter.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Xingyun did not choose to seek refuge with the Zhang Family.
Ye Xingyun gently stroked Zhang Hongxi's hair, letting her pat it.
There was not a trace of excuse.
He only spoke after Zhang Hongxi stopped, "I'm sorry, Hongxi."
I'm not the type of person who puts my life in someone else's hands.
One more thing,
If I really go to the Zhang Family, will I still have my freedom?
No, there won't be.
It's the same even if you're there.
Because the Zhang Family doesn't know me well enough, and they're unsure if I'll remain loyal to the Zhang Family.
"This is not conducive to my spiritual practice."
Furthermore, my decades of experience in the ways of the underworld tell me that the Clan Leader of your Zhang Family is no ordinary person.
I suspected he was hiding his true strength back in the Starry Secret Realm.
In retrospect, my suspicions were not wrong.
That guy was even better at hiding his true intentions than I was!
And this guy even pretended to be weak and tricked me in the Secret Realm!
I'm speechless!
"Now, I strongly suspect that Zhang Xuanchen has taken the Star Emperor's inheritance."
Although I know he didn't enter the gate of inheritance, I still have this suspicion.
Hearing Ye Xingyun's complaints, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Hongxi's face.
Fortunately, she was leaning against Ye Xingyun's chest at that moment, otherwise she would have been certain that her suspicion was not just a suspicion, but a fact.
After regaining his composure, he changed the subject:
"Since you have not chosen to accept the Zhang Family's protection, why have you come to Lingxiao Immortal City at this time?"
Did you know that the four major sea region hegemons, as well as those Half-step Nascent Soul level forces, were all trying to find out the Zhang Family's strength?
They had all gathered at Lingxiao Immortal City.
Do you know how risky it is for you to come here at this time?
"No!" Ye Xingyun looked down at Zhang Hongxi.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Currently, at least two Nascent Soul and four Half-step Nascent Soul have gathered in Lingxiao Immortal City.
They surely believe that I, Ye Xingyun, would never dare to appear here.
But who am I, Ye Xingyun?
They thought I wouldn't come, but I'm here anyway.
"It's all about the thrill."
That's what he said, but in reality, without the cover of the Eighth Stage Dark Night Cloak, he wouldn't dare to take the risk even if you beat him to death.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongxi released Ye Xingyun, looked into his eyes, and joked:
"Nebula, aren't you afraid of being captured by the Zhang Family?"
After all, you are the one who has been passed down the Great Emperor Inheritance.
"I'm not afraid."
"Why?"
"Because I trust my own judgment of people." With that, Ye Xingyun walked to the Spirit Table, sat down, picked up a Spirit Fruit, and took a bite.
Lost in memories.
"To be honest, I come from a good family."
He was the young master of the now-extinct Foundation Establishment Ye family. He originally possessed Triple Spirit Root, and later awakened a talent.
I don't know what this talent is called.
But it can warn me before I'm in danger and help me discern people's true intentions through communication.
It also gave me the ability to multitask.
This is one of the reasons why I haven't neglected my cultivation, talisman crafting, or array setting.
"Of course, that's also why I've always been alone."
Until I met you.
My talent tells me you are trustworthy.
"And you, Zhang Xuanchen, the Zhang Clan Patriarch."
Although he was cunning and wicked,
But he meant me no harm whatsoever, or rather, he didn't care about my little bit of fortuitous opportunity or secret at all.
Of course, it could also be due to other reasons, such as... Demonized Creature.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be you who came today, but rather the entire Zhang Family of Golden Core cultivators."
Hearing Ye Xingyun's words, Zhang Hongxi walked over and sat down opposite him, poured a cup of Spirit Tea and pushed it in front of him, smiling:
"Nebula, aren't you a little too smart?"
At this moment, she even suspected that Ye Xingyun also possessed Xiantian Wisdom Bone.
Ye Xingyun sighed.
"It's just because of the pressures of life."
His Lineage was wiped out, and he was hunted down by his enemies. As Rogue Cultivator, he fought, struggled, and killed.
If I didn't use my brain, I would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
Where would I have the chance to meet you, and with your current cultivation level at the Early Golden Core?
At this point, Ye Xingyun proudly raised an eyebrow at Zhang Hongxi.
"Don't worry, after I get through this ordeal..."
I then proposed marriage to the Zhang Family.
I'll marry you.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongxi appeared hesitant and unsure of what to say.
Seeing this, Ye Xingyun asked:
"What's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me?"
Zhang Hongxi looked at Ye Xingyun with a complicated expression, "If I told you that if you married into my Zhang Family, you could obtain the opportunity to cultivate seventh-level Cultivation Method, seventh-level or higher Spirit Talisman, Array Inheritance."
Are you willing?
