Xu Yunyi Returns to the Immortal Ruins

Xu Yunyi thought it over and agreed to her elder sister's request.

"All right, I'll give it another day's careful thought, and then we can discuss it again."

She understood that her sudden decision would be hard for her elder sister and younger brother to accept. She had to give them some time to adjust.

After ending the voice transmission, Xu Yunyi sighed.

"I don't know whether it's good or bad to keep Brother-in-law's identity from her."

She had only just learned this from Lu Qing'an himself while Luo Danhong was talking with him.

She had been dumbfounded.

The Eternal Night Demon Emperor!

He was a legendary figure in the Demon Domain!

A seemingly invincible existence!

She had been a little skeptical of what Lu Qing'an had said in the courtyard earlier, thinking he was joking.

She never expected it to all be true!!

After giving it careful thought, she decided to keep it a secret for now.

She didn't want to affect her elder sister's Dao heart...

As for how long she could keep it hidden, she wasn't sure. That would depend on her elder sister's fate.

"Right, Sister might send Elder He a voice transmission. I'd better let him know first."

Xu Yunyi quickly sent He Hong a voice transmission.

At that moment, He Hong had been happily tagging along as they chose a site for his future artifact-refining room. After receiving Xu Yunyi's transmission and hearing exactly what had happened, he was dumbstruck.

He looked at Lu Qing'an beside him as though he were staring at a ghost or a god. Dumbly, he said, "Qing'an! Y-you're the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!"

As soon as he said that, the others present looked at him strangely.

"You never told him about that identity of yours?" Xiao Qingyi asked Lu Qing'an.

Lu Qing'an said, "It seems I haven't."

Wang Duanshan laughed. "Haha, you only just found out? I'm dying of laughter! In the Demon Domain, who else but the Eternal Night Demon Emperor could make old fellows like us so utterly obedient?"

He Hong: "..."

My closest friend is actually the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!!

The Immortal Ruins.

Inside a great hall.

As soon as Xu Qingying ended the voice transmission, she sent one to He Hong, only to find that it wouldn't go through!

"Hmm? Why won't it go through?"

"Sister! I'm more and more convinced there's something fishy going on here!"

Xu Xuanyu clenched his teeth and fists as he paced back and forth, looking extremely agitated.

"I'll try sending him another transmission. Perhaps someone just happened to contact him a moment ago," Xu Qingying said.

"Mother, Father shouldn't be that kind of person, right...?" Lu Zhengran's mouth twitched. Although he was fonder of his mother, he didn't think his father would go so far as to set such a vicious trap.

"Zhengran! Do you think you know your father? You're his son, so did you know he was from the Demon Domain?" Xu Xuanyu demanded gravely.

Lu Zhengran was instantly at a loss for words.

Xu Qingying took a deep breath, suppressed the frustration in her heart, and sent another transmission. This time, it went through.

"Elder He, are you busy?"

"Qingying, what's the matter? I am indeed busy with something, so whatever it is, keep it short."

"All right. It's like this: my younger sister suddenly said she wants to live over there for the long term..."

Xu Qingying repeated what she had just learned from her younger sister, then asked, "Is this true?"

"Oh, that? It's true. This former husband of yours is a little unusual. I can only say he's terrifyingly strong, and he really does have a way to convert your younger sister's cultivation, so you can put your mind at ease. Your eldest daughter has successfully converted hers too. I saw it with my own eyes. Besides, I'm here, and I'll take care of her. Is there anything else? If not, I'll get back to what I was doing."

He Hong was actually a little annoyed as he said this.

He knew full well that Xu Qingying had wronged Lu Qing'an.

Now that Xu Yunyi could stay here, it could be considered a kind of punishment for Xu Qingying.

Of course, he also understood that staying here was Xu Yunyi's own choice.

Lu Qing'an really had been far too good to them. Who wouldn't want to stay under such conditions?!

Xu Qingying's brows drew tight when she heard this.

"Elder He, are you sure everything you said is true? You're not lying to us?"

He Hong said, "Qingying, that's not fair of you. When have I ever lied to you? If you don't believe me, why send a transmission to ask me?"

Xu Qingying: "..."

"All right, I believe you. If there's nothing else, go back to what you were doing. We'll keep in touch."

"All right."

After ending the transmission, Xu Qingying's brows remained tightly furrowed.

It was true?!

Xu Xuanyu had listened to the entire exchange. He stopped pacing and said gravely, "How could it be true?!"

Xu Qingying lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. "We still have to make Yunyi come back!"

"Yes!! But I'm afraid Second Sister won't come back..." Xu Xuanyu sighed.

"If she won't come back, then it's false. If she really does come back and still makes the same decision as before, then let her do as she wishes," Xu Qingying said.

The Demon Domain.

The sky was growing dark.

After Lu Qing'an took Wang Duanshan and the others to select a site, the rest had nothing to do with him.

Wang Duanshan said he would work through the night to build the largest and most perfect artifact-refining room in the Demon Domain. There was nothing the others could do to help with the rest, so they returned to the courtyard.

Just as he returned to the courtyard, Xu Yunyi came up to him.

"Brother-in-law, I've made up my mind to stay here from now on. But my sister is afraid I didn't make this decision of my own free will, so I might have to go back... Sorry to trouble you, Brother-in-law, but I may need you to take me back to the realm barrier."

Lu Qing'an smiled. "It's nothing, just a small matter. When do we leave?"

It couldn't be better that Xu Yunyi could stay.

"Let's leave right away. I'll send you a voice transmission when it's time for me to come back," Xu Yunyi said.

Lu Qing'an nodded. "Do you need to tell the two children?"

Xu Yunyi said, "I already told them."

"All right, let's go."

He took Xu Yunyi into the air, broke through the void, and reached the boundary between the Demon Domain and the Immortal Ruins in a single step.

"I won't see you all the way back, then. Take care on your way."

He wouldn't return to the Immortal Ruins. It was enough to see her this far.

"All right. I won't be in any danger within the Immortal Ruins anyway."

Xu Yunyi smiled and nodded.

After that, the two waved goodbye.

Xu Yunyi passed through the realm barrier and returned to the Immortal Ruins.

Lu Qing'an also returned to the courtyard.

About an hour later.

Xu Yunyi returned to her elder sister that very night.

"Sister, I'm back."

When she flew down to the great hall, she found many people standing inside.

There were five in all.

Xu Qingying, Xu Xuanyu, and Lin Qingxue were there.

Besides them, there were two Peak Great Emperor Realm experts from the Immortal Ruins.

Xu Yunyi sighed when she saw the two Peak Great Emperor Realm experts.

One was the strongest array master in the Immortal Ruins, while the other specialized in the soul. It seemed her sister suspected that her soul had been controlled.

As for why she had summoned the strongest array master here, she probably wanted her to take him as her master and keep her in the Immortal Ruins.

"Second Sister, come! Sit down!"

Xu Xuanyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his second sister really had returned.

Xu Xuanyu pulled Xu Yunyi over to sit down, and she said, "All right, all right. Do you think I don't know how to sit down by myself?"

Now, whenever she saw this younger brother of hers, a nameless fire rose in her.

She really wanted to give her younger brother a few hard smacks on the head!
