Yun Luotian took Ji Yunxi's hand. "Senior Sister, it's definitely not easy to obtain so many materials. Don't worry too much."
"I know." Ji Yunxi wasn't worried about Jiang Yaoji looking for the God - Slaying Blade. Instead, she was concerned that since this matter involved Feng Xingzhi, it wouldn't be easy to resolve.
Qing Xuan clicked his tongue. Just now, he had secretly opened the window and peeked out. From time to time, people from the Moon - Watching Pavilion passed by on the road.
"This is really troublesome. What on earth are they doing here?"
Yun Luotian guessed, "Back then, Senior Brother Yun Hui chose to stay here because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is abundant. It's a good place for cultivation and recuperation."
Hearing this, Qing Xuan's face turned cold, and his tone became even more unpleasant. "So it's no wonder that Feng Xingzhi and Jiang Yaoji came here. They're probably after the materials."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunxi suddenly squinted her eyes slightly. A beam of light from her fingertip turned into a dagger and flew out, hitting the door. Just then, the waiter who came to deliver hot water opened the door and was startled. He stammered, "Ah... G - g - guests, please enjoy."
"Hey, we're... not bad people," Yun Luotian tried to explain to the waiter.
The waiter interrupted her and waved his hand. "Guest, don't worry. I... I didn't see anything."
After saying that, he scurried out.
Ji Yunxi propped her arm on the table and supported her forehead. "It seems inconvenient to stay in the city any longer. Let's go find Yun Hui and discuss it before making a decision."
"Master, let's go early and seize the opportunity!" Qing Xuan rubbed his fists, looking eager.
Ji Yunxi was helpless. Was this really seizing the opportunity?
Yun Luotian covered her face to hide her smile. "Senior Sister, although we've explained things to Senior Brother Yun Hui quite a bit, what if he doesn't join us? As you said, he's already adapted to the life in the mortal world and can't bear to part with his wife and children. What should we do then?"
Ji Yunxi had already thought about this and asked Qing Xuan, "What do you think I'll do?"
Qing Xuan considered his words. "According to Master's personality, I'm afraid..."
Ji Yunxi let go of her hand and sat back in her original position. "No need to be afraid. I will give up."
Yun Luotian frowned and didn't agree in her heart. "If it's just us, it's like hitting a stone with an egg."
"But our business shouldn't involve innocent people. No matter which side he chooses, Yun Hui will bear no less pressure than us."
Ji Yunxi could understand why Yun Hui was hesitating. After all, he had finally obtained a good and stable life. Suddenly asking him to do something that might cost him his life was a bit too much.
At night, the three of them still stayed in the inn, planning to wait and see what Jiang Yaoji would do.
Ji Yunxi and Yun Luotian lay on the bed. For a moment, neither of them said a word.
Ji Yunxi was thinking about the day's events. Many thoughts welled up in her mind, making it hard for her to sort them out.
"Luotian, do you think it was a wrong decision for us to come and find Yun Hui?"
Yun Luotian understood her concerns. Their sudden visit had disrupted Yun Hui's life, but they also had their reasons for coming.
She sighed silently in her heart. "Senior Sister, I don't know if it's right or wrong. But let me ask you, if Jiang Yaoji succeeds in forging the God - Slaying Blade, what will happen to Yun Hui, who is related to you and me?"
Ji Yunxi's blood turned cold for a moment. She stiffly said two words, "He'll die."
Yun Luotian turned over and got closer to Ji Yunxi. "That's right. By then, whether it's Yun Hui or other old subordinates, Jiang Yaoji won't spare any of them. She's probably even more ruthless than Yue Chen. So, Senior Sister, do you still think we made a mistake?"
After getting the answer, Ji Yunxi suddenly saw things clearly and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Ji Yunxi and Yun Luotian took Qing Xuan and walked towards the seaside again. From afar, they could see Yun Hui's yard with wisps of cooking smoke rising.
As they got closer, they could see the green vegetables in the yard and the poultry clucking leisurely from outside the door.
"Bang! Bang!" A dull knocking sound rang out.
"Hey, coming!" The woman who opened the door was the same one from yesterday.
The woman smiled when she saw the three of them. Obviously, Yun Hui had told her in advance.
She welcomed Ji Yunxi and the others in. "So it's you. I'm cooking. You're here to find Yun Hui, right? He went fishing in the sea early in the morning and won't be back until afternoon."
When Ji Yunxi heard that Yun Hui had gone to sea, she suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness and thought something was wrong. "Oh, I see. We still have some business, so we'll take our leave first."
The woman was puzzled and stared blankly at them. "You... won't come in and sit down? You're leaving just as you've arrived?"
"Thank you, Madam. But we have urgent matters, so we won't sit. We'll leave first."
"Okay, be careful on your way."
"Got it. Goodbye." As soon as they stepped out of the door, Ji Yunxi's smile disappeared immediately. "Let's go to the seaside now."
Yun Luotian was surprised and looked at her in disbelief. "Now? Yunxi, you're so eager to see Yun Hui!"
A smile appeared on Qing Xuan's face, looking like he understood. "Master, you agree with me. Are we going to look for treasures?"
Ji Yunxi gave him a sweet smile. Qing Xuan felt a chill down his back when he saw it. Then he activated his divine power and flew with the wind. Everything around flashed by quickly. Before they could see clearly, they arrived at the seaside in the blink of an eye.
Qing Xuan landed on the ground, feeling dizzy. After standing still, he faced the sea breeze and shouted at Ji Yunxi, "Master, what's going on? Is something wrong with Yun Hui?"
A strange look flashed through Ji Yunxi's eyes so quickly that it was hard to catch. Her expression darkened a bit, and her voice was heavy. "I'm not sure yet. Qing Xuan, fly into the air and check where the spiritual energy is the most abundant."
"No problem!" After saying that, Qing Xuan moved slightly and turned into a beam of light, flying above the sea.
Yun Luotian asked Ji Yunxi belatedly, "Are you afraid that Yun Hui will meet Jiang Yaoji and the others?"
"Yes!" Ji Yunxi looked a bit anxious. If Jiang Yaoji ran into Yun Hui, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
She paced back and forth on the spot, making Yun Luotian dizzy. She prayed for Qing Xuan to return soon.
Qing Xuan flew into the air. The sea was vast and boundless. The sun seemed very close to the sea surface, making people dizzy. The sea sparkled like golden scales, looking extremely beautiful. At this time, there were many fishermen fishing on the sea. From his perspective, he could only see small black dots and couldn't tell which one was Yun Hui.
Qing Xuan carefully inspected every place. There was a place in the northwest where the spiritual energy was abundant. Vaguely, one could see white - light - emitting mist rising above it, but ordinary people couldn't see it with their naked eyes!
Qing Xuan turned into a golden light and returned to Ji Yunxi's side. "Master, there's a cluster of spiritual energy gathering in the northwest."
After hearing this, Ji Yunxi quickly rushed in that direction.
