A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Ye Yun, having left the underground space, did not linger outside for long.

He quickly returned to his temporary lodgings and found Yue Rushuang waiting in his room.

Although it was late at night, a light was still on in the room.

Yue Rushuang, Luo Meng, and Xu Qingyan did not rest, as if they were waiting for Ye Yun to return.

"It's so late, you guys are still up?"

When Ye Yun returned and saw the three women in the room, he was taken aback.

When they saw Ye Yun return, all three of them visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Rushuang stared at him and said irritably.

"It's all your fault! You said you were going out to investigate, but you haven't come back for so long."

The longer this goes on, the more worried they become.

Not to mention that Ye Yun's trip lasted for several hours.

Although Xu Qingyan was there, she could ensure that Ye Yun was still alive.

But they also suspected that the other party might have been discovered and controlled by the empress.

Ye Yun coughed lightly and said helplessly.

"The situation is a bit complicated, so it took some extra time."

Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang immediately asked.

"Tell me quickly, what have you been through? Have you found out anything you wanted to know?"

Ye Yun smiled and nodded at this point.

"Of course, it's no surprise that I personally took charge!"

Of course, this is a lie, not because there were no unexpected events.

Yue Rushuang was naturally unaware of what was going on, but after hearing his words, her face was full of curiosity.

"So, what exactly is in that underground space?"

Xu Qingyan and Luo Meng, who were standing nearby, also cast curious glances at them.

Under the threat of that senior, he naturally couldn't tell her everything about what happened that night.

Therefore, when recounting his experience, Ye Yun chose to make some slight changes.

For example, one could simply say that they were in an underground space and stumbled upon Empress Yunxiao consuming beast blood to resist the Yin-Yang Gu.

The incident of the other party losing control and forcibly pushing him on the spot was omitted.

After listening, Yue Rushuang was somewhat surprised.

"I never expected that something like this would happen to Senior Yunxiao."

It's truly lamentable that a female emperor, a top-tier powerhouse, could be controlled by Gu poison.

At this moment, Luo Meng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't that Senior Yunxiao pursue your investigation into secret matters?"

Ye Yun shrugged and explained.

"Of course not. Although I was reprimanded, that senior chose to forgive me."

After saying that, he spread his hands.

"After all, if the senior were to investigate, I wouldn't be here; I would have been captured by her long ago."

This explanation was undoubtedly reasonable and well-founded, with no obvious flaws.

However, Yue Rushuang still stared at him and asked a question.

"Besides that, what else happened between you two?"

She felt that Ye Yun's account of the events was somewhat too mundane.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then immediately shook his head.

"Of course not. What could possibly happen between us? It's not like I'd be practicing dual cultivation with her, is it?"

In response, Yue Rushuang jokingly remarked.

"That's hard to say, after all, it's you."

In her opinion, there was nothing Ye Yun wouldn't dare to do in matters of love!

"..."

Ye Yun felt helpless, but his attitude was very firm.

"Ru Shuang, don't overthink it. There's really nothing between me and Senior Yunxiao."

Originally, Yue Rushuang had only asked the question casually.

Seeing Ye Yun's firm attitude, he didn't ask any further questions and nodded.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now."

……

the next morning.

As agreed, Ye Yun found Jian Qing'er and Cang Lan together.

And afterwards, he shared his findings with them.

After listening, Canglan fell into deep thought.

"According to Young Master Ye's opinion, that senior can indeed be trusted without a doubt."

At this moment, Jian Qing'er nodded with a smile.

"I knew it, Senior Yunxiao, he doesn't seem like a bad person."

She still trusted Empress Yunxiao as always.

Of course, trust is no longer an issue.

They undoubtedly trusted Ye Yun's investigation results.

Finally, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and said.

"In short, I plan to talk to Senior Yunxiao about cooperation later."

"If you'd like, why don't you come with me?"

The saying goes, "When it's time to make a decision, make a decision." Since you've decided to trust the other person, settle things as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen changes.

Jian Qing'er and Cang Lan had no objections to this and readily agreed.

"No problem, let's go now."

……

When Ye Yun and his group went to find Empress Yunxiao.

She was in the study, flipping through some ancient books, seemingly searching for something.

Perhaps only Ye Yun knows that the other party is searching for the materials needed to solve the Yin-Yang Gu problem.

Although I told the other party how to neutralize the poison last night.

However, it will still take some effort to make it happen.

This includes some relatively old and precious materials.

When she saw Ye Yun and the others approaching, Empress Yunxiao raised her head and smiled faintly.

"It seems you've made up your minds?"

"good."

Ye Yun nodded first.

Immediately afterwards, Cang Lan, Jian Qing'er, and even Yue Rushuang all responded.

"Senior Yunxiao, we are willing to join forces with you to eradicate the Ascension Sect!"

Seeing this, Empress Yunxiao showed a satisfied expression.

"A wise choice, this is the best option."

When she looked at Ye Yun, she couldn't help but exchange a glance with him.

Because of what happened last night, looking at this face in front of me still gives me a strange feeling.

After all, in a conventional sense, this man was the first man she had met in a thousand years.

As for Ye Yun, he felt more embarrassed when he felt her gaze.

"Senior, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something you need?"

Ye Yun coughed lightly, offering a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao finally realized what was happening and stared at the other person's face in front of everyone.

She immediately looked away and spoke softly.

"Alright, since you all agree, let's talk about the next steps."

Those watching this scene found it somewhat strange.

It feels like only a day has passed, yet the relationship between Senior Yunxiao and Ye Yun has become much closer.

Strange as it may be, the most important thing right now is how to deal with the Ascension Sect's decapitation strike...

After that, the group held a short meeting in the study and initially devised a plan to deal with the situation.

The next things to do are the Ancient Path Holy Land, the Moon Wheel Holy Land, the Northern Continent Alliance, and the Azure Dragon Empire.

Multiple forces are secretly sending powerful individuals to the Western Continent.

Empress Yunxiao will also be there to help them secretly send the powerful figures over.

Otherwise, the large-scale entry of various forces into the Western Continent would surely arouse the vigilance of the Ascension Sect...

With everything finalized, Empress Yunxiao looked at everyone and said solemnly.

"There is only so much I can do about what comes next. Whether we succeed or not depends entirely on your efforts."

After all, according to her plan, she needed to actually fall into an ambush, or even get injured, in order to deceive the Ascension Sect.

Ye Yun responded with a firm expression.

"Rest assured, senior. With our help, we will ensure that the Ascension Sect never returns, and we will guarantee your safety!"
