Upon hearing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but cough.

"Stop it, don't even think about it, it'll cause trouble."

Of course, the main problem was that I got into trouble.

Seeing this, Qian Rou smiled and teased.

"Just kidding, I'm not really planning to have a baby with my junior brother."

"After all, it would be best if your first child, Junior Brother, was born to Sister Xian'er or Elder Yue."

When this matter was mentioned, Ye Yun's expression became somewhat unusual.

He sighed, saying helplessly.

"Actually... I already have a child."

"My child... um? My child?!"

Qianrou didn't react at first, but soon her expression changed.

Of course, at this moment, it is mainly the spirit of gossip that is ignited.

Her eyes sparkled, and she asked curiously.

"Tell me quickly, is it Sister Xian'er's or Elder Yue's?"

But after saying that, Qianrou seemed to realize something and scratched her head.

"That's not right. I didn't see either of them earlier. One of them must be heavily pregnant."

They were pregnant for ten months, but according to the time they left, it was only two or three months.

If you were already pregnant, you should have noticed it then.

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated, and shrugged.

"None of them are, but... that Senior Tianwu from the Black Abyss."

"what?"

Qianrou paused for a moment, seemingly processing the enormous amount of information.

After a while, she couldn't help but ask.

"Who is this 'Senior Tenma' you're talking about?"

"Ah, she is..."

Left with no other choice, Ye Yun could only give him a general account of the story of Tianwu and the Black Abyss Barrier.

Even after learning more about it, Qianrou's expression remained somewhat strange.

The main reason is that I didn't expect that the Empress would do something like this with Ye Yun.

"Well, that's really... unbelievable."

After a long pause, Qianrou could only offer this one assessment.

Then, she couldn't help but ask.

"Does Sister Xian'er know about this?"

Ye Yun nodded slightly and responded.

"Of course I know, I told her before I left."

"What did she say?"

Seeing Qianrou's curious expression, Ye Yun helplessly shrugged.

He sighed softly and began to speak.

"Xian'er means that she wants to have a good talk with me after this matter is over."

"..."

Qianrou remained silent for a long time before finally saying something.

"Good luck."

As for that Fairy Sister, oh no, now I should say the Acting Holy Lord.

Qianrou knew a little about her personality.

If someone can say something like that, they must care about something.

Ye Yun sighed at this.

"I think so too. Wish me luck."

Now that things have come to this, it's too late to say anything even if you regret it.

I'll explain it to Xian'er properly when we get back.

It's nothing more than admitting your mistake and coaxing them a bit; it's not that difficult to resolve.

Just as the two people inside were discussing this matter.

Suddenly, there was another knocking sound at the door.

Who is it?

Ye Yun and Qian Rou both became alert, their eyes immediately turning towards the door.

Soon, a respectful voice came from outside.

"Lord Ye, the city lord requests your presence, saying it's time."

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes.

Without saying a word, he immediately responded.

"Understood, I'll go right away."

"Then I shall take my leave."

After he finished speaking, there was no further movement outside.

Then, Ye Yun sat up and put on the clothes that were lying next to him.

Seeing this, Qianrou, who was leaning against the bed, couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Junior brother, where are you going...?"

Ye Yun explained as he put on his clothes.

"It's nothing, just going out to take care of some small matters."

"Hmm? A small matter?"

Qian Rou's expression was strange. What trivial matter could possibly require the city lord to summon Ye Yun?

Even the timing was so peculiar, it was already late at night.

Ye Yun did not provide a detailed explanation, but simply smiled and said.

"Senior sister, you can rest here for now. I'll be back soon."

"Hmm... okay."

Qianrou didn't press for details, but simply offered a concerned reminder.

"Whatever you're going to do, just remember one thing: always be careful."

"Okay, I understand."

Ye Yun nodded. He had already put on his clothes.

After saying goodbye to Qianrou, he quickly left the room.

Not long after, he went to see Empress Yunxiao in her study.

Even in the dead of night, Empress Yunxiao did not rest, and continued to study some strategic layout maps.

It's clear that she really didn't sleep a wink during this operation, spending all her time thinking about how to make the best of a fight.

After entering, Ye Yun greeted him softly and asked.

"Senior, I've arrived."

"Yes, you've come at just the right time."

Empress Yunxiao raised her head, glanced at him, and slowly spoke.

"If you're all ready, then get ready to go right away."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun exchanged a glance with her and asked.

"Are you accompanying me on this mission, senior?"

"No, I am still injured and it is not suitable for me to go out for the time being."

Empress Yunxiao shook her head, her gaze falling on a nearby spot.

"Therefore, I have found you a suitable helper."

As soon as he finished speaking, light footsteps came from the darkness beside him.

Ye Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure dressed in a black robe emerge from the nearby darkness.

Just now, she seemed to have merged with the darkness, and was completely undetectable.

Only a glimpse of her curvaceous figure could be vaguely seen beneath the loose black robe.

Her tall and slender figure, along with her dark golden hair and delicate legs, proved that she was a female cultivator.

Ye Yun was unable to detect his cultivation level.

"Senior, who is this...?"

After looking her over, Ye Yun stared at her and asked curiously.

Empress Yunxiao smiled faintly, glanced at the black-robed female cultivator beside her, and introduced her.

"This is my personal guard; you may call her Weaver Star."

"His cultivation has already reached the Imperial Dao Realm, and he is very powerful. In most cases, he is enough to protect you on your journey."

"Unless you're extremely unlucky and encounter a situation like being injected with moon essence."

The cultivators she could bring out as guards must undoubtedly possess formidable strength.

After being introduced, the black-robed female cultivator didn't forget to speak to Ye Yun.

"As the city lord said, I am Zhixing, and this time I will be taking you to see the array core of the Ascension Sect."

"Um... hello."

Ye Yun nodded and chuckled.

"I don't need to introduce myself, do I?"

"No need. The city lord has already told me about Fellow Daoist Ye's matter."

Zhixing shook her head and slowly explained.

"My mission this time is simply to guide you to investigate the core of the formation, and I will do my best to avoid too much contact with you."

Judging from her attitude, there is still some distance between her and Ye Yun.

This was undoubtedly a good thing for Ye Yun, who was worried about being questioned and inquired about by his companions.

If we could say nothing and just focus on completing the mission, that would be perfect.

Therefore, after this conversation, Ye Yun and Zhi Xing quickly made a decision.

"Now that everyone's here, let's set off!"
