Ji Yunxi glanced at Gu Feifei. She was young, and Gu An was her savior as well as her father, so it was natural for her to have a temper. Ji Yunxi didn't take it to heart.
She looked at Gu Feifei gently and explained, "Don't be hasty. I know you're angry, but this isn't the time to lose your temper. We need to plan this carefully. It's not suitable for us to go head - to - head with the Moonlight Palace now."
Gu Feifei was still a bit unconvinced and added, "Didn't you say before that the guy from the Moonlight Palace was finished?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "He was once an emperor. We're just disciples, and there's a natural gap between us. Moreover, although Yue Chen seems not to have fully recovered, he still has many upper - level gods under his command. We can't ignore them."
Gu An had gradually calmed down. Now he regretted his impulsiveness just now and said guiltily, "It's my fault. I was too impulsive."
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "You can't be blamed for this. Anyone would be angry. But we need to calm down. Anyway, we're not at a disadvantage for now. Jiang Yaoji can only rage in vain."
Feng Xingzhi nodded. "You're right. This is a form of mutual restraint. Yue Chen will be wary of what we have for a while and won't directly attack us. Although we don't know how Jiang Yaoji managed to make Yue Chen overlook her previous actions, there must be something wrong with her."
After hearing their words, everyone sat down obediently and stopped making a fuss.
Yun Han nodded in satisfaction. "Well, those upper - level gods are not to be underestimated. We only have a few upper - level gods ourselves. The most urgent thing is to forge the God - Slaying Blade."
Since Yun Han had spoken, everyone stopped raising other opinions and obediently listened.
Ji Yunxi took the opportunity to find someone. "Please go to the forest south of the canyon and bring back the coachman and Qing Xuan."
Before long, Qing Xuan was brought back. He was still lying in the carriage, unconscious.
Everyone only saw the coachman. Lu Shu looked surprised. "Master? Where's Qing Xuan?"
Ji Yunxi pointed at the carriage. "He should still be asleep."
Everyone's expressions turned a bit grim. It had taken about three days to get here from the glacier. Why was he still asleep?
"Yunxi, could something have gone wrong? Why has he been sleeping for so long?"
Ji Yunxi explained to Yun Han, "Uncle, he's been asleep for a long time, and his body was hidden under the mysterious ice. It takes time for his body to integrate and adapt after finally coming out."
Yun Han nodded. "As long as you know what you're doing."
Ji Yunxi stood up and said to Gu An, "Gu An, arrange for everyone to go back and rest. Those who should return to their posts can go back too."
Gu An reluctantly withdrew his hand, nodded, and led the people away.
Qing Xuan was lying in the room. Ji Yunxi asked Lu Shu to take care of him.
Looking at Qing Xuan, who was unusually quiet, Lu Shu felt a bit strange.
On normal days, Qing Xuan was the most talkative. It was really unusual for him to sit there so quietly.
"You, you're usually so arrogant, but now you're being obedient."
While complaining, Lu Shu came to the table and felt the water on it to make sure it was still warm.
On the other side, Ji Yunxi, Li Jiuge and the others finally had dinner. They chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere had been relaxed for a while.
However, not long after, a disciple from the valley suddenly reported, "Report, Valley Master! We've received another letter!"
Gu An stood up abruptly, extremely angry. He naturally thought that the letter must be from Jiang Yaoji. The suppressed anger from before flared up again.
Even Ji Yunxi's expression turned rather ugly.
Just when everyone thought it was another letter from Jiang Yaoji, they found that this letter was actually from Southern Yan.
Ji Yunxi looked at the red seal on it. This was a seal that only the royal family could use, which meant that the sender must be Feng Jiangming, the king of Southern Yan.
She quickly looked at Feng Xingzhi and handed the letter to him. They had been away for quite some time. She had not only taken his younger brother but also his younger sister.
Feng Xingzhi didn't know what his elder brother wanted to tell him. He quickly opened the letter, fearing that something had happened.
Thankfully, after opening the letter, he found that his elder brother was fine and everything in Southern Yan was fine. But...
Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi both looked at Li Jiuge.
Li Jiuge was completely confused by their looks. She slowly put down her chopsticks. She seemed to have guessed something and took the letter from Feng Xingzhi's hand with a trembling hand.
Gu An noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Jiuge's eyes gradually turned red. Holding the letter paper, she said, "The letter says... it's time to arrange my marriage. It asks me and my cousin to go back."
The people from the Lute and Zither Valley didn't care much about Li Jiuge's marriage, but Ji Yunyi, Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi understood that as a princess, she couldn't decide everything on her own.
After thinking for a while, Ji Yunxi said, "That's just right. I also need to go back to the main headquarters. We'll need the support of the main headquarters when we fight against the Moonlight Palace in the future. I have to go back and make some arrangements in person."
Li Jiuge didn't say a word. She lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Ji Yunyi also lowered his eyebrows. It seemed that he had some concerns and didn't want to talk anymore.
Feng Xingzhi sighed. He wasn't a fool. Naturally, he could see Second Brother Ji's feelings, but Li Jiuge's marriage really wasn't up to him as her cousin.
"Xixi, when shall we set off?"
Ji Yunxi knew that this matter needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. If they went back late, Li Jiuge might have even less room to turn back.
"Then... we'll leave immediately after Qing Xuan wakes up."
After making the decision, Ji Yunxi found Yun Han. "Uncle, we need to suspend our plan for a while. I have to go back to Southern Yan and the main headquarters of the Dream - Flower Pavilion. Yue Chen is now causing trouble for the Dream - Flower Pavilion. I need to go back and see what's going on."
Yun Han nodded. "Then you can go. Be careful. I'll take care of things here."
After getting his promise, Ji Yunxi told everyone the news that they were leaving.
"Azhi and I will come back as soon as possible. Everyone, no matter what threats or intimidation you receive from Jiang Yaoji, don't act on impulse. If we endure for a while, we can achieve long - term goals."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Ji Yunxi called Yun Hui. "Junior Brother Yun Hui, I've informed Zhu Linyun, the owner of the Bamboo - Meaning Tower. She will send your wife and children to the Lute and Zither Valley."
Yun Hui looked surprised, unable to hide his joy. "Senior Sister, is this true?!"
"Of course it's true. You've been separated from your wife for a long time. We don't know when we'll reach the final stage. It's better to have them sent here first. As long as they don't leave the barrier, even if Yue Chen comes, he won't be able to break in easily."
Yun Hui nodded repeatedly. He would be reunited with his wife and children soon. Naturally, he was very happy.
