Yuyu nodded. She understood all this as well.
"Don't deliberately try to stop him too much, either. Otherwise, it will only backfire. We should trust that Mystic Spirit King understands this and naturally won't overstep the rules," Yuyu said.
Since their Holy Lord had said so, the Spirit Demon King said nothing further and left.
Above the South Sea, Shopkeeper Yang and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden flew toward Phoenix Island.
After leaving Mount Buzhou, the two spoke very little, unlike on their way there, when they had chatted the entire journey.
"Mysterious Maiden, thank you for helping me back then," Shopkeeper Yang said first.
The Mysterious Maiden smiled faintly. "We are friends, after all. When you were in trouble, of course I had to help you."
Shopkeeper Yang nodded. "I will remember this kindness. If there is ever a chance to repay it, I, Yang Tian, will certainly do so."
He truly had not expected that after he had fallen back then, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden would actually seek revenge for him. At that time, she was probably the only one in the entire Three Realms willing to avenge him.
He was deeply moved.
After exchanging a few more words, they fell silent again. Rather than heading directly to Phoenix Island, they went to Mount Putuo to see Guanyin Bodhisattva. After speaking with her for some time, they brought the Fourth Princess back to Phoenix Island.
The Fourth Princess noticed that something seemed subtly strange between Shopkeeper Yang and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden. The two of them both seemed somewhat awkward.
She was very curious, but she did not ask. It was not her place to.
Uchiha Shin finally arrived at Cloud Spirit Island. Returning there once more put him in a very good mood.
