During the conversation, the two of them unconsciously reached the mountaintop.
Qing Xuan sat bored on a rock beside them and would occasionally crane his neck to look inside at Feng Heyang.
She had been staying inside without making a sound. Qing Xuan was starting to get impatient as he waited. He had no idea how his master was doing.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a figure approaching in the distance. He immediately stood up and trotted over. "Master, are you okay?"
Ji Yunxi spread out her hands for him to examine and said with a smile, "Look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
"Really okay?" Qing Xuan didn't believe it. He circled around her, checking her from all sides. Only then did he feel relieved. "That's good, that's good."
Yun Luotian let out a soft snort. "Sure enough, you're your master's contracted spirit beast, Qing Xuan. You only see your master and don't notice there's a living person standing next to you?"
Qing Xuan pursed his lips. He still remembered how she had injured his master back then. How could he forget so easily?
However, out of deference to Ji Yunxi, he still asked, "Are you feeling better too?"
Yun Luotian found his reluctant attitude amusing. "If it weren't for all these things, I'd also go find a contracted spirit beast. Although this bird Qing Xuan looks quite useless, he'd be fun to tease."
"You!" Qing Xuan was extremely angry. He snorted and didn't respond anymore.
Ji Yunxi shook her head helplessly at their childish behavior. "How long has Feng Heyang been inside?"
Qing Xuan put away his playful look. "It's been a while. She still hasn't come out."
"What about inside..."
"There are still disciples from Lingyun Villa inside. I didn't call everyone out." This time, Qing Xuan had thought things through more carefully and, as expected, received praise from Ji Yunxi.
"You did a good job. Let's go inside and take a look." She took the lead and walked out, while Yun Luotian and Qing Xuan obediently followed behind her.
When the three of them reached the cave entrance, Ji Yunxi suddenly heard very faint sobbing. She stopped in her tracks, and Qing Xuan was completely confused.
Knowing that it was because of her divine power that she had such keen hearing, Ji Yunxi sighed and reached out her hand to stop Yun Luotian, who was about to walk inside.
"What's wrong, senior sister?"
Ji Yunxi retracted her hand and shook her head at her. "Wait a while before going over."
Only then did Yun Luotian hear that faint crying sound and also stopped in her tracks.
The three of them didn't wait outside the cave for too long. Feng Heyang obviously sensed their arrival. She gradually calmed her emotions and slowly walked out.
When she saw them, she slightly hid her red - rimmed eyes from crying just now. "You're here?"
Ji Yunxi nodded. "We're here to check on the current situation of Emperor Feng Ji."
"I've already checked. He already has a glimmer of life."
Yun Luotian had thought the person would wake up directly. She was a bit disappointed that after so much effort, he only had a glimmer of life in the end, but she didn't show her emotions.
Ji Yunxi patted Feng Heyang's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. Since there's a glimmer of life, it means he's not far from waking up. After waiting for so long, we can wait a bit longer."
Feng Heyang looked up and met Ji Yunxi's gaze. "...Thank you. I know."
Yun Luotian, who was standing beside them, also spoke up to comfort her. "Emperor Feng Ji is a blessed man. Don't worry."
Feng Heyang remembered all the little things with her master. Her heart ached. Her master had treated her like a daughter, teaching her to distinguish right from wrong, understand principles, and solve her doubts. She was really lucky to have met her master in this life. She really couldn't imagine what would happen to her if she completely lost her master.
Feng Heyang ran her fingers over the coffin and looked at Emperor Feng Ji in the ice coffin. She silently prayed in her heart, "Master, you must wake up soon. We're all waiting for you."
No longer just staring at the mountaintop, the group returned to the villa. Feng Heyang had already returned to her previous cold demeanor. "Ji Yunxi, what should we do next?"
She recovered quickly. With a great enemy approaching, she couldn't afford to be immersed in grief.
Ji Yunxi thought for a while and finally decided to tell Feng Heyang about her recent plan.
Feng Heyang was stunned for a moment after hearing it. At the same time, she was shocked by Ji Yunxi's boldness. She calmed her emotions and asked Ji Yunxi, "What if Jiang Yaoji uses the same secret technique to change my and Feng Ji's memories?"
Ji Yunxi had already considered this point. "Jiang Yaoji doesn't have that much ability."
This was also something Yun Luotian was curious about. She opened her eyes wide and looked at her carefully. "How can you tell?"
Ji Yunxi had already investigated. It could be seen from the initial seal attached to the Kunlun Seal in Feng Xingzhi's body.
Ji Yunxi said slowly, "This secret technique requires powerful strength to operate. She's probably already at her limit just maintaining the seals on Lu Shu and Feng Xingzhi."
Yun Luotian's train of thought suddenly became clear. "Senior sister, you mean that the reason she was able to make Feng Xingzhi forget you before was because she borrowed the power of the Kunlun Seal. Now that there's no longer a Kunlun Seal in Feng Xingzhi's body, she can only rely on her own strength. It'll be very difficult for her to handle two people at once."
"That's right. And even if she can still use the secret technique, she won't waste such an opportunity on you."
Feng Heyang actually agreed with this view. After all, with Feng Xingzhi's relationship, as long as they showed obedience, Jiang Yaoji wouldn't necessarily use the secret technique on them.
Thinking that Ji Yunxi made sense, Feng Heyang decided to follow her arrangement. "I understand. So what are you going to do next?"
Ji Yunxi's expression became solemn, and her eyes showed determination. "We can't afford to waste any time. Yun Luotian and I are going to find the old subordinates of Yunqi Palace."
Feng Heyang understood this arrangement in her heart. After all, time was of the essence now. Seizing every minute and second was the most important thing.
"If that's the case, then you can go. But they left Yunqi Palace and have been avoiding the pursuit of Yuehua Palace. I'm afraid the journey will be long. You should pay attention to your safety. When are you leaving?"
"Anytime." Yun Luotian also had a determined look in her eyes.
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi couldn't wait. "Okay, let's go back and pack our things now. Qing Xuan, you come with us."
That night, the three of them were quietly packing their things. Ji Yunxi came to Yun Luotian's room. "Where shall we go first?"
Yun Luotian slowed down her hand as she was packing. She thought carefully and said, "There's an old subordinate on the sea of Beidi. It's the closest to us. We can go there first."
"Okay. Since you're familiar with it, I'll follow your lead. But who lives in the Beidi Sea area?"
"It's Senior Brother Yun Hui."
Ji Yunxi paused for a moment. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Yun Hui... He's actually okay."
Yun Luotian smiled. "Yes. It's really lucky. Back then, none of the people like Yun Hui who went on an outside mission died. They all survived."
