Chapter 1065 Nip it in the bud
“You don’t need to worry. Luo Yuejue had some insights yesterday and is currently breaking through. I can’t move her back to my residence, so I’ll let her continue her breakthrough in the martial arts hall.”

As soon as Yunxi finished speaking, a surge of immortal energy emanated from the martial arts hall.

Yunxi flashed into the martial arts hall, while Zhuo Wuhen and Qin Yu were naturally stopped outside by the guards. The reason was quite good: the fluctuations of immortal energy inside were too strong and might affect Young Master Qin Yu.

Qin Yu could only frown and look into the martial arts hall, while Zhuo Wuhen's eyes flickered beside him.

Zhuo Wuhen hadn't expected Ranxi to have real skills, being able to improve the cultivation of the Luo family disciples in just over a month. He felt that this mission was somewhat tricky, and he had also missed the opportunity to take the initiative.

Then he glanced at Feng Qinyu, who looked unhappy, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He couldn't get into the Luo family, but he could still use the Feng family's eyes to turn the Luo family upside down.

At this moment, Yunxi, who had flashed into the courtyard, casually threw a Gathering Yuan Array to Luo Yuejue, gathering all the immortal energy in the martial arts arena. Then, she raised her hand to put away the Illusion Array Plate, instantly making the Luo family disciples who were still struggling in the array appear in the martial arts arena.

Luo Yizhi, Luo Yi'an, and the other Luo family disciples were momentarily dazed, then they noticed that Luo Yuejue had broken through in a corner of the martial arts arena. They all sat down on the ground, closed their eyes, and began to regulate their breathing, trying to understand the opportunity for Yuejue's breakthrough.

Meng Lanjun lagged behind Yun Xi by a step, appearing at the entrance of the martial arts arena carrying Lili. She happened to see Zhuo Wuhen and Qin Yu, and the gazes of the two, one big and one small, fell directly on Meng Lanjun. Meng Lanjun's eyes flashed, and with a slight flick of her sleeve, she walked slowly to Qin Yu, carrying Lili, and asked with a smile:

"What brings Young Master Qinyu to the martial arts arena today?"

Qin Yu, who had been chasing after Li Li, didn't even spare her a glance, but instead looked at Meng Lanjun and said:

"I've come to see Aunt Yuejue."

Menglan smiled knowingly and said:

"She gained some insights from her challenge yesterday and has been working on breaking through ever since. You probably won't be able to see her today, but I can pass on a message for you, so you don't need to wait here in vain, okay?"

Qin Yu was quite pleased with Meng Lanjun's amiable manner, and stopped frowning. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Then I'll trouble you, Immortal Lord, to tell Aunt Yuejue that I will be staying at the Luo family for a while. Once her cultivation is stable, she can come to the guest courtyard to find me. My mother asked me to bring her some things."

Meng Lanjun smiled and nodded, then waved her sleeve again and carried Lili through the gate of the martial arts arena.

Qin Yu then said to Zhuo Wuhen beside him:
"Senior, let's go back first!"

Zhuo Wuhen seemed to snap out of his daze, frowning as he watched Meng Lanjun's retreating figure before leaving with Qin Yu.

It wasn't until evening that Luo Yuejue finished her breakthrough and stabilized her cultivation at the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm. After Yunxi removed the Gathering Yuan Array, the Luo family disciples who were meditating on the ground in the martial arts arena also opened their eyes one after another.

The handsome and spirited Luo Yuejue immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Elder Ranxi, for protecting your disciple."

Yunxi smiled slightly and said:

"Yuejue, it seems that breaking through the formation has brought you great gains. Go back and go into seclusion to consolidate your cultivation. Take advantage of the afterglow of this breakthrough to further comprehend the Dao of Sword."

Luo Yuejue immediately nodded in agreement, while Yun Xi looked at the remaining Luo family disciples and said:

"You've been trying to break through the illusion array for a month, and you've been able to keep going for longer and longer, but no one has actually succeeded yet. Tomorrow you'll have a day off to rest and reflect on why you failed."

As for your questions about cultivating the sword path, I have already answered them for you. You can reflect on them based on your experiences in the formations over the past few days, and then try again.

After saying that, he waved his sleeve and returned the jade slips they had handed over to them.

More than thirty Luo family disciples responded in unison:

"Yes, Elder Ranxi." She then respectfully withdrew from the martial arts arena. Some impatient disciples had already probed the jade slip with their divine sense, while others surrounded Luo Yuejue, whispering to her about the opportunity for her breakthrough. Luo Yuejue generously shared her insights.

After the Luo family disciples left, Yunxi and Menglanjun slowly walked towards the "Qianluo Courtyard".

Yunxi stroked Lili's fur and asked with a smile:

Why didn't you tell Yuejue what Qinyu asked you to convey?

She clearly knew about what happened at the entrance of the martial arts arena.

Menglan raised an eyebrow and said:

"Zhuo Wuhen, who is next to Qin Yu, is no good. He has been holding a grudge against you for squeezing him out of the Luo family. Because of your appearance, he could not complete his mission, so he settled for becoming the bodyguard of the Feng family's darling."

Menglanjun's words contained a lot of information, but Yunxi still asked calmly:
"What is his reason for insisting on joining the Luo family?"

Menglan Jun also spoke slowly and deliberately:
"He will make a move against the Luo family disciples during the Five Regions Grand Competition. As for what exactly he will do, he has not yet received orders. For now, he only needs to remain safely hidden within the Luo family."

Unfortunately, your appearance has disrupted his plans. He is now planning to use the time Qin Yu is staying at the Luo family's residence to cause trouble, hoping to pin the blame for Qin Yu's serious injury or accidental death on you. He can then gain the title of someone who has saved his master, while you will become the target of the Feng family's pursuit.

He was certain that the Luo family wouldn't antagonize the Feng family for the sake of an outsider like you. They would either hand you over to appease the Feng family patriarch's anger, or force you to leave the Luo family, thus giving him a chance to re-enter.

Yunxi nodded knowingly after hearing this:

"No wonder he brought Qin Yu to the martial arts arena. He wanted to use my illusion array to injure or kill Qin Yu in the array. Even if Qin Yu accidentally wandered in, I would probably become the target of the Feng family's venting of anger."

As for the Luo family, as long as they acknowledge that they did not know the right person and pay some compensation, this matter will be over.

Menglan nodded with a smile, indicating that communicating with intelligent people is easy.

Yunxi continued:

"Didn't you plant orchids for him? His plan probably won't have a chance to be implemented."

Menglan Jun revealed a captivating smile and said:
"Yes, but that depends on what result Fairy Ranxi wants. Does she want to completely eliminate the hidden danger, or is she going to lay a trap and wait for the crucial moment to play her role?"

Yunxi chuckled softly, revealing a pair of dimples:

"Lan Jun, it seems your chess skills have really improved during this time. I haven't played chess with you for nothing."

Meng Lanjun glanced at Yun Xi with a hint of smugness before saying:

"What do you want to do?"

Yunxi patted Lili's head and said:
"Now that we know that the Evil Immortal will take action during the Five Domains Grand Competition, let's make him a useful pawn at the crucial moment. He's Qin Yu's bodyguard now, so let him protect the little guy and also find out about the Feng family's background."

Menglan nodded and said:

"I see."

The two then returned to "Qianluo Courtyard" and did not discuss Zhuo Wuhen again.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Wuhen escorted Qin Yu back to her residence in the evening. After watching the barrier fall, he turned around and went to visit Long Zhang and Xie Yuyan.

Goodnight, my darlings~
