On the way back, Feng Xingzhi remained silent all the time, but there was something indescribable in his eyes.
Jiang Yaoji was a bit dissatisfied. A hint of annoyance flashed across her eyes. It seemed that Ji Yunxi could always stir up Feng Xingzhi's emotions. This was not a good sign.
Then an idea occurred to her. When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with tears. Looking pitiful, she tugged at Feng Xingzhi's sleeve. "Xingzhi, are you injured? It's all my fault. If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have had to fight with Ji Yunxi and could have taken Jiang Yin away directly."
Feng Xingzhi looked at her tears but still remained expressionless. "It doesn't matter. As long as you're okay."
Jiang Yaoji was stunned for a moment. Looking incredulous, she covered her mouth and blushed coyly. "Xingzhi, are you concerned about me?"
Feng Xingzhi sighed and looked a bit helpless. "Let's leave here first."
"Okay. Let's go back quickly." Jiang Yaoji hooked her arm around Feng Xingzhi's and smiled brightly.
Feng Xingzhi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Jiang Yaoji suddenly felt that all her efforts were worth it. At least now Feng Xingzhi would worry about her.
Yun Hui watched Ji Yunxi's back as she left and returned to the room. Then he let out his anger. "That bastard Feng Xingzhi!"
Yun Luotian sighed. "Senior Brother, no matter how loudly you scold him, it won't help. But I think today wasn't a complete waste. By showing a tough attitude, we managed to intimidate them a bit."
Qing Xuan nodded. "That makes sense. And even if we really kill Jiang Yin, they won't have anything to say."
Yun Han pressed Yun Hui's shoulder and said, "Since even Qing Xuan understands this, you'd better sit down and take a rest. Feng Xingzhi's divine power is quite strong now. Even if we kill Jiang Yaoji, we may not be able to defeat Feng Xingzhi."
Everyone fell silent. Yu Mingyi didn't know the whole truth. But as an outsider, he asked, "Regardless of other things, will Feng Xingzhi give up just because he failed to rescue Jiang Yin today? How about we hide him first?"
Yun Han, who had been silent all this time, slowly said, "There's a rather secluded place. I'll go and transfer him there."
Yun Hui picked up his words and was about to stand up. "I'll go with Uncle."
"Not necessary."
Yun Han walked out of the room and called two people to follow him. With a "creak", the door opened.
The door was opened from the outside by Yun Han. The sunlight shone in, covering the ground with a layer of golden powder. Jiang Yin was blinded by the light and squinted at the people in front of him.
When he got used to the light and saw the faces of the people clearly, he showed a disdainful expression. "What? Are you scared and going to let me go?"
Yun Han ignored him and said to the people behind him, "Take him to the ice prison."
"Yes." The guards stepped forward and reached out to grab Jiang Yin.
Jiang Yin remained silent. He was lifted up by the two people. After standing still, he suddenly broke free from their hands. He slapped them hard on the chest one by one, and the two of them were shaken back.
The ropes broke at some point. Yun Han still looked calm as he watched the situation in front of him.
Jiang Yin gathered most of his magic power in his palm. He exerted all his strength and struck hard. The door panel instantly exploded, and the wood chips and dust flew everywhere.
Yun Han raised his sleeve to cover his face. When he looked into the room again, Jiang Yin was nowhere to be seen.
Yun Han put his two fingers together and made a gesture. A blue light penetrated the dust, flying like a shooting star. A muffled groan was heard, and Jiang Yin was hit and fell in the yard.
Hearing the sound, several people immediately ran out to check. They were surprised to see Jiang Yin. Yun Han walked over leisurely behind them. "Trying to escape? It seems we've been out of the limelight for too long. You bugs all think you can escape from my hands?"
After taking Jiang Yin to the ice prison, several people returned to the room. Ji Yunxi was in a daze, looking at the hairpin in her hand. Yu Mingyi stole a few glances at her. Every time he saw her looking at that hairpin.
Seeing this, Yun Luo gently held her hand. "Yunxi, you saw it today. He treated you like that. Why do you still care about him?"
Looking at Ji Yunxi's dejected expression, Yu Mingyi felt a bit stuffy in his chest. But he still said awkwardly, "I know the hairpin is very important to you. I can help you repair it."
Ji Yunxi's expression wavered. She looked at him hopefully. But after a moment, her expression became gloomy again.
She held the hairpin in her hand and forced a smile. "Thank you, but there's no need. If it's broken, it's broken."
Yun Luotian agreed with Ji Yunxi. "Yes. It's hard to mend a broken mirror. Even if it's repaired, there will still be traces. It'll be uncomfortable to look at."
Yun Han asked Ji Yunxi, "Yunxi, what are you going to do next?"
Ji Yunxi put the hairpin away properly. "Feng Xingzhi and the people from Fengche Palace are with Jiang Yaoji. This is extremely disadvantageous to us. Jiang Yaoji is currently only focused on finding the God - Slaying Blade and has been targeting us. So we still need to restore Feng Xingzhi's memory first. We mustn't let him become Jiang Yaoji's helper."
Yu Mingyi frowned after hearing this. He was a bit unhappy, thinking that Ji Yunxi had her own motives. But he had no right to say anything. So he said, "The Merman Clan can help you. Don't worry about Feng Xingzhi. You can still defeat Jiang Yaoji without him."
Ji Yunxi refused without hesitation. She didn't want to involve others anymore. "It's too dangerous. We can't involve the Merman Clan either."
Yun Hui thought Yu Mingyi's idea was good. But after hearing Ji Yunxi's refusal, he swallowed his words.
If the Merman Clan joined, they would have more strength and a greater chance of winning. He had no choice but to ask Yun Han, "Uncle, what do you think?"
Yun Han smiled in satisfaction. "Just listen to your senior sister. She knows what she's doing."
Since Yun Han had said so, Yun Hui didn't say anything more.
Yun Han then said, "Since we want to break the secret art, I'll take you to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Maybe there's a way to crack it there."
After saying that, he led Ji Yunxi out. With a wave of his hand, a pavilion suddenly stood in front of them. The doors and windows were tightly closed.
The pavilion was made of Chinese fir and had two floors. Gray tiles were laid flat on it, looking simple and elegant. When the wind blew, the wind chimes tinkled.
They pushed the door and walked in. There were many books on the bookshelves, but there was no dust.
Yun Han looked at the books and recalled the past years. He felt quite emotional. "These are the books I secretly brought out from my secluded cultivation place back then. Although the number is not as large as that in Kunlun Mountain, there are still quite a few."
Ji Yunxi was overjoyed. "Let's look for them. Maybe there are records about the secret art in them."
Yun Luotian didn't have high hopes. But seeing Ji Yunxi's happy expression, she didn't have the heart to disappoint her. "Okay. Then let's look separately."
Qing Xuan hated reading books the most. But he had no choice but to frown and flip through the books page by page.
Yun Han had other things to do. After saying hello to Ji Yunxi, he left. Ji Yunxi told him to go ahead and then seriously started to look through the books.
"Ahem." A cough caught everyone's attention. Ji Yunxi thought Yun Han had come back. But when she looked up, she saw Yu Mingyi in a blue robe.
Yu Mingyi's face was flushed. "I'll come and help too."
