Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 85 Savior
Song Xinci was very familiar with the aura of Suzaku. He easily found Suzaku's whereabouts by simply searching the city with his divine sense.

It was a slightly dilapidated courtyard. The owner was a traveling merchant who seldom returned to Crescent City to live, so he rented out the old house.

Zhuque didn't know when Yun Yi would come to meet her, and it was inconvenient to always stay in the inn, so she simply rented this small courtyard so that she could practice on weekdays.

Originally, living here was quite pleasant. Without the intrigues of the Demon Sect, she could relax occasionally.

But today, Zhuque was extremely anxious. She had been searching for two days but couldn't find any trace of Nangong Zhuozhuo, which almost drove her crazy.

She felt that since Monkey Boss had entrusted the person to her and Yun Yi, she must keep an eye on Nangong Zhuozhuo. However, she couldn't resist the Peach Blossom Fairy's girlish nature. Recently, she had been getting worse and worse, and had begun to go from leaving home early and returning late to not coming home at night.

Poor Zhuque, a virgin girl, has never taken care of a child before. Usually when she encounters such naughty kids in the Demon Sect, she would beat them up and make them behave themselves.

It just so happened that Nangong Zhuozhuo's cultivation was a few points higher than Zhuque's, so he could not be defeated and would not listen to anything he said.

She really couldn't find the other person, so she thought she might as well just ignore it and let the child do whatever he wanted when he grew up.

Although only a month had passed, Zhuque felt that he had aged dozens of years. Standing at the door, he looked like an old woman who was anxiously waiting for her children to come home for dinner.

"Yun Yi, it's all your fault!" she said gritting her teeth, not knowing that the person she was talking about had already entered Crescent City.

Just when Zhuque was about to turn around and go back to the house to continue practicing, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure at the entrance of an alley not far away. Her nose moved slightly and she smelled a fragrance that made her feel at ease.

She rubbed her eyes violently, thinking that she had become so old because of Nangong Zhuozhuo's anger that her eyesight became blurry.

"Miss?"

How could the young lady be here? She should be busy cleaning up the Ji Le Sect and consolidating her cultivation in the He Dao realm.

But as the figure gradually approached, Zhuque finally saw the person's appearance clearly. He couldn't help but rush over and said excitedly: "Miss, I miss you so much!"

Song Xinci stretched out a finger and used her magical power to block Zhuque in front of her, obviously unable to withstand her sudden outburst of passion.

"Miss, woooo!"

Zhuque started to cry as she shouted. Song Xinci suppressed a smile and looked at Zhuque carefully. She looked haggard and seemed to have lost some weight, with the flesh around her waist noticeably thinner.

Song Xinci sighed, "You seem to have lost weight."

"Wow~" Suzaku suddenly cried even harder, "Miss, you have no idea how difficult it is to deal with that devil. He goes out and gets into trouble every day. The little dowry I worked so hard to save has almost been spent by her!"

"You actually prepared a dowry for yourself?"

"Hickey, I said it wrong, it should be private money."

Zhuque burped while crying, and instantly lost interest in wiping his tears and pretending to be pitiful. He took the young lady's arm and walked into the house.

Song Xinci felt whether someone was following her, and after confirming that only the neighbors occasionally cast curious glances at her, she finally felt at ease and followed Zhuque into the house.

Although the house was a bit shabby, Suzaku kept it spotlessly clean and even placed some flowers and plants in it, which showed that she was actually living a good life.

Song Xinci said, "I've never seen you so leisurely before."

Zhuque frowned and stood aside obediently, saying bitterly, "Miss, I lost Yun Yi. When I wanted to tell you about this, Crescent Moon City was suddenly blocked."

"No need to explain, I already know the details, and Yun Yi is here too."

"What?!" Zhuque almost jumped up, "Then quickly have him take Nangong Zhuozhuo away and don't let him get in the way of us returning to the Demon Sect!"

"We can't leave yet."

"what?!"

"It's a long story."

Zhuque made a cup of the young lady's favorite jasmine tea, and then sat quietly by the side, listening to her talk about what happened in the Fuyao Sect.

Although Song Xinci spoke calmly, Zhuque was terrified when he heard it.

Yun Yi was unexpectedly blown to the Fuyao Sect and became its disciple. Even more coincidental was that the young lady, in order to investigate the incident of the nameless town, also pretended to be the second son of the Shi family and became Yun Yi's apprentice, and became his junior brother.

Afterwards, the two of them joined forces to smash the plan of Futian Pavilion. Not only did they kill a Hedao Realm cultivator, they also witnessed a fight between two Feisheng Realm cultivators.

It turns out that you went through so much when I was away.

However, Song Xinci did not mention the "One Heart Gu" and also concealed the fact that Yun Yi was seriously injured while saving her. This was not because she did not trust Zhuque, but because she was worried that Zhuque would fall into the hands of the enemy and be searched, and these secrets would naturally be lost.

Zhuque has been secretly observing Song Xinci and always feels that his young lady has changed a little, but he can't tell what is wrong.

The coldness in her eyes seemed to have melted a lot, and she couldn't help but smile when talking about interesting things. The once aloof Song Xinci probably rarely smiled twice a year.

Furthermore, her tone was light when she mentioned Yun Yi, clearly showing no dislike for him. The two of them must have had a deeper connection after their shared experiences, and their relationship was now even stronger than it had been back in the nameless town.

Zhuque felt inexplicably jealous, even though the young lady and I were the best couple in the world.

When Zhuque heard that Yun Yi came to Crescent City for other important matters instead of to pick her and Nangong Zhuozhuo up, she couldn't help but slam the table: "I'm struggling to be a wet nurse here, and he actually said he has other things to do?!"

Song Xinci also noticed a significant change in Suzaku. The two had grown up together in the Demon Sect, nominally master and servant, but in reality, their relationship was close, more like a confidante. Although Suzaku often used her charms, she was actually a proud person, rarely revealing true emotions. But now, her smiles and anger were completely genuine. While she no longer deliberately used charms, she seemed rather... bold.

To put it simply, she changed from a sweet and coquettish girl to a street-swearing girl.

Moreover, judging from her cultivation level, she may break through and enter the Return to Void Realm at any time. This should be because she has benefited from the Feitian Secret Realm.

In this way, Yun Yi is indeed a lucky star, and everyone who follows him will benefit from it.

Except Song Xinci himself.

Not only did she not gain any benefit at all, but she also lost her realm because of the Tongxin Gu. She was truly pitiful.

After Zhuque finished his temper, he realized the seriousness of the matter and asked, "What is the problem with Crescent City?"

Song Xinci replied, "The group secretly dealing with the Fuyao Sect came from a place called Futian Pavilion. Yun Yi felt that Futian Pavilion was going to attack Yueya City, so he wanted to look for clues."

"Futian Pavilion... is it an enemy?"

"Yes, they were also involved in the incident in the nameless town. Moreover, this organization is unfathomable, and there are probably more than one Ascended Realm among them. I am worried that the battle between good and evil will continue, and when both sides are severely weakened, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop."

Zhuque's expression became serious when he heard this. Since his young lady said the problem was serious, it meant that Futian Pavilion really needed attention.

Song Xinci has always cared only about cultivation, and anything that she keeps in mind is definitely not a trivial matter.

Zhuque thought about the recent rumors in Crescent City and actually had some vague suspicions. She said, "There's something strange going on in Crescent City right now. They claim there's a spy inside, but I heard it's actually the city lord's beloved daughter who escaped and is hiding somewhere."

Song Xinci asked curiously, "Did he sneak out?"

"Yes, it is said that it was to escape marriage."

……

Ye Nianyi is missing? !

Or is it because of running away from marriage? !
When Tie Hong learned about this, his eyes darkened, and he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if one problem hadn't been solved yet and another was brewing. At this moment, he wished he could grow a few hairs, worry until they turned white, and then pull them out with his own hands.

Ye Ling, the lord of Crescent City, is an elegant middle-aged man with a mustache. He looks like a Confucian general.

He smiled sheepishly at Yun Yi and said, "This is the current situation. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Yun Yi shook his head slightly, indicating that it was okay. Every family has its own problems, and it was understandable.

Tie Hong angrily said, "You're blocking the city for such a trivial matter? That's ridiculous!"

Ye Ling dismissed his attendants and signaled his confidants to drive away everyone around them, then raised his eyebrows at Yun Yi.

Yun Yi was confused, and Tie Hong said, "Brother Yun is trustworthy. Just speak frankly."

Ye Ling checked again to see if there were any ears on the other side of the wall, then moved his lips, "Nian Yi also took my tiger talisman away."

Tie Hong's eyes widened when he heard this, as if he wanted to cut Ye Ling into pieces with his eyes.

"How could she take something so important?"

"It was because of the marriage. We had a big fight and then she ran away from home."

The two middle-aged men talked closer and closer, their heads almost touching each other. Tie Hong said, "Then I have something to tell you."

"You better tell me now."

"On my way back, I was surrounded and attacked by two groups of people, one led by King Xian and the other led by Dayan. In order to save my life, I gave them half of the tiger talisman."

Now it was Ye Ling's turn to be dumbfounded. He wanted to strangle General Tie to death on the spot, "You... bastard!"

"We're both bastards, so don't blame each other!"

Yun Yi was also in shock. He followed Tie Hong to the City Lord's Mansion. He originally just wanted to inquire about the news of Futian Pavilion and look for Zhuque and Nangong Zhuozhuo by the way, but he didn't expect to hear such explosive news.

It turned out that both tiger talismans were lost, and his and Tiehong's plans were completely disrupted.

If the two halves of the tiger talisman fell into the hands of the same person, whether it was King Xian or Shan Changqing, with their own abilities plus the three hundred people in the Spirit Transformation Realm, I'm afraid only the Hedao Realm could take action to turn the situation around.

Despite his panic, Yun Yi still retained some rationality. He squeezed his head in between the two men and asked, "Why did your daughter take the tiger talisman with her when she ran away from home?"

This question hit the nail on the head. Tie Hong stared at Ye Ling with his eyes wide open, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

Ye Ling sighed: "This has to start with my daughter's marriage..."

Considering that Yun Yi had just arrived and knew nothing about Ye Nianyi's affairs, he first explained his daughter's predicament: "Nianyi was born with a strange disease and congenital deficiencies. Many doctors have been unable to cure this disease. Even the immortal master of the Zhengqi Sect is helpless."

Tie Hong added, "Ye girl has an extremely high talent for cultivation. If she weren't held back by this body, she would definitely be a talented talent that any righteous sect would focus on cultivating."

Ye Ling continued, "Back then, the Immortal Master predicted that my daughter wouldn't live past the age of 29. Now that she's reached the age of marriage, she only has two years left to live."
