Ji Yunxi, who had regained her divine power, moved quickly. With the cover of the secret guards, the two of them soon reached the foot of Lingyun Mountain.
However, it was already evening by then.
"Azhi, should we send in our visiting cards?"
According to the rules, since they intended to pay a visit, they should naturally send in their cards first and then call on the host. But if they followed the normal procedure, they didn't know when they could meet the person they wanted to see.
Feng Xingzhi thought that if they waited like this, there was no telling how long it would take. He didn't know when the spies of the Moonlight Palace would find out that they were no longer on Kunlun Mountain, nor how soon they would be able to track them down. So every moment they wasted meant more danger.
"Xixi, we can't wait. We'll go up tonight!"
Ji Yunxi happened to have the same idea as Feng Xingzhi and immediately nodded in agreement.
But Lingyun Mountain was heavily guarded. For a moment, the two of them didn't know how to get up safely.
Feng Xingzhi asked the secret guards to get a map of Lingyun Mountain. He pointed to a gap at the foot of the mountain and showed it to Ji Yunxi. "Xixi, this place looks like a gap. If we go up from here, we might not be discovered."
Ji Yunxi looked at the place they had finally found and suddenly shook her head. "Azhi, I've thought about it. We should go up openly. Instead of hiding, we should let her see us!"
"What do you mean?"
"We've never really been to Lingyun Villa before. Last time, we were led there to find her. Now our goal is to see her as soon as possible, so it doesn't really matter how we do it."
Feng Xingzhi understood, but he was worried that since Ji Yunxi had just recovered from a serious illness, if there was a conflict with the guards, would they end up fighting?
"But what if they think we're just trespassers or trouble - makers... A conflict would be quite troublesome."
"Don't worry. We're here to find someone, not to cause trouble."
After reaching an agreement, the two of them walked directly and openly up Lingyun Mountain, taking the main path. Their figures were clearly visible in the moonlight.
Sure enough, after walking only a hundred meters, a group of white - clothed people surrounded them and pointed their swords at them.
"Who goes there?!"
Ji Yunxi stepped forward. "Ji Yunxi of Nanyan. I'm here on urgent business to see the villa master."
"No matter who you are, you're not allowed to go up the mountain. Get out!" The white - clothed people drew their swords and blocked their way firmly.
Ji Yunxi frowned. "We really have urgent business. Please inform the villa master."
Seeing the anxious look on her face, the white - clothed people hesitated. If they really caused a big mistake by blocking her, they were afraid that their lives wouldn't be enough to atone for it.
Just as they were hesitating, a white - clothed person suddenly walked over. Apparently, this person knew Ji Yunxi. He stared at her for a moment and then asked, "Are you...?"
"Ji Yunxi of Nanyan."
As soon as she said her name, the white - clothed person interrupted her. "You want to see the master? Wait here first."
Then he disappeared. After waiting for a while, several more people came out and led them up the mountain.
Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi looked at each other and smiled. This was the smoothest moment for them in these days, although there were some minor and insignificant episodes.
She thought that the calmness along the way was probably due to Jiang Yaoji. Her people had come to test her on their own initiative, and she had just been hiding in the back without making a move. So they probably didn't suspect that she had regained her divine power. They only thought that she had just regained her memories.
The two of them walked into the main hall. The white - robed woman was still sitting on the high seat.
Seeing the two of them walking slowly in, she said expressionlessly, "Have you solved all the problems with the medicine?"
Ji Yunxi nodded. "It's all solved. Thank you for the medicine."
"Then what are you here for?" The white - robed woman couldn't think of a reason for Ji Yunxi to come to her on her own initiative. She asked curiously.
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi didn't beat around the bush. She got straight to the point. "I just want to ask if you're from the Wind - Clear Palace."
The unflappable face of the white - robed woman finally showed a hint of uneasiness, but she still didn't answer directly. "Why do you ask this?"
It seemed that she was.
Ji Yunxi had an answer in her heart. She glanced at the others in the hall and then raised her eyebrows at the white - robed woman.
The white - robed woman understood. She said indifferently, "These are all my confidants. You can speak your mind."
Ji Yunxi knew that the other party wouldn't do anything to harm her life. After all, they still had a blood contract, and the white - robed woman still needed her.
"Then I'll just say it. I know you're from the Wind - Clear Palace, and the person beside me is also from there. So we should talk about something else."
This "something else" naturally meant how to cooperate.
The white - robed woman frowned slightly. She turned her gaze to Feng Xingzhi. After sizing him up and down, she laughed. "A mere mortal with no trace of divine power on him. You're telling me he's from the Wind - Clear Palace?"
Ji Yunxi was also a little surprised. She suddenly turned to look at Feng Xingzhi. Didn't he have any trace of divine power on him?
But the other part of the divine power that had been stripped from her was most likely Feng Xingzhi's. If Feng Xingzhi's other half of the divine power wasn't on him, then where was it?
The white - robed woman looked at Ji Yunxi's expression. Apparently, the other party wasn't joking with her. And now the Moonlight Palace was in power outside. They shouldn't be coming to her to talk nonsense at this time.
But if Ji Yunxi wasn't lying, then what was going on with this man in front of her?
Moreover, she had been in the Wind - Clear Palace for so many years and had never seen him before.
"Ji Yunxi, why on earth do you say that this man is from the Wind - Clear Palace? How do you know these things?" The white - robed woman's eyes became a little sharp.
Ji Yunxi didn't doubt that if she didn't give a reasonable explanation, this woman would surely break her neck.
"Because I'm an old member of the Cloud - Rising Palace. I even know the secrets of the Wind - Clear Palace, such as the matter of the Wind - Mist Emperor."
The white - robed woman immediately stood up. Her face had changed greatly. "Stop talking!"
She clearly didn't want anyone to mention the Wind - Mist Emperor. She shouted at Ji Yunxi several times and then flew down from the high seat. She grabbed Ji Yunxi's wrist to check.
Yunluotian had already pulled out the divine power, so there was naturally no longer a seal in Ji Yunxi's body. There was only a clear and powerful divine power that belonged to Ji Yunxi herself.
The white - robed woman didn't expect these changes. She was shocked and said in a panicked tone, "Where's the divine power in your body? Where's that extra kind of divine power?!"
The white - robed woman's expression was almost crazy, looking like she was about to kill someone. Feng Xingzhi reached out to separate the two of them. Afraid that she would do something, he protected Ji Yunxi behind him.
Seeing her crazy look, Ji Yunxi knew that there must be more to her seeking her out. So she asked, "What does the extra divine power matter to you?"
The white - robed woman said fiercely, "You don't need to care what I'm going to do. Just tell me where the divine power has gone?!"
Feng Xingzhi separated the two of them. "It's on me."
