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

Upon hearing this, Si Ruyin tilted her head and asked.

"So, are you still very tired, Junior Brother? Am I... bothering you?"

She then realized how rude she had been to knock on the door that night.

Ye Yun immediately shook his head and explained with a smile.

"No, no, I was almost awake too."

As he spoke, he stretched and chuckled.

"I have now fully recovered."

These words were not meant to comfort his senior sister; after a day of rest, he genuinely felt he had recovered to about 70-80%.

Perhaps it's because the yang energy has been restored.

Hearing this, Si Ruyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so..."

Then, she looked at Ye Yun and asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother has been out for the past two or three days, right?"

"I don't think you were in your room the last two times I looked for you."

Judging from her words, this wasn't the first time she had come to see him.

Ye Yun didn't think much of it and nodded in explanation.

"Yes, I went to investigate some things..."

Upon hearing this, Si Ruyin asked with great interest.

"Investigating something? What is it?"

At this moment, she stood by the bed, looking at Ye Yun lying on the bed with a curious expression.

The difference in height made Ye Yun feel a little strange, so he couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Why don't you sit down first, senior sister, and I'll explain it to you slowly?"

Si Ruyin was quite blunt about this.

She plopped down on the edge of the bed and laughed at him.

"Thank you, junior brother. Can I speak now?"

She didn't even care that sitting down almost exposed her underwear.

Seeing her completely unguarded state, Ye Yun felt somewhat helpless.

I should remind my senior sister to be careful and not let some old perverts take advantage of her.

"Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you now..."

After that, Ye Yun recounted his experience of going to the Wutong Mountains.

Of course, the specific version is similar to what was said to Empress Yunxiao.

Aside from the matter of dual cultivation with Zhixing, everything else was recounted truthfully.

Even so, this experience was still quite remarkable.

Even after hearing it, Si Ruyin still looked frightened.

"Junior brother, why didn't you tell me and Xiaorou before you went to do something so dangerous?"

Ye Yun shrugged and chuckled.

"It's not that I didn't want you senior sisters to worry about me, so I went there secretly."

Upon hearing this, Si Ruyin pursed her lips slightly and said.

"But what if something happens to you? How am I supposed to explain it to my master?"

Judging from the expression on her face, she was genuinely worried about Ye Yun.

Even her eyes held a clear sadness, and her beautiful eyes were misty with tears.

She looks like she might burst into tears at any moment.

Seeing this, Ye Yun quickly stepped forward and gently patted her to comfort her.

"I'm sorry, senior sister. This was indeed a mistake on my part. I promise I won't hide it from you next time."

"Besides, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? Senior sister, you don't need to worry too much."

After his words of comfort, he finally managed to stop Si Ruyin from losing her temper.

She wiped her eyes and looked at Ye Yun with a serious expression.

"You said it yourself, don't hide it from me again next time!"

"Yes, yes, definitely!"

Ye Yun nodded repeatedly, giving his assurance.

Just then, Si Ruyin stepped forward and threw herself into his arms.

This surprised Ye Yun, who looked at her with astonishment.

"Senior sister, you..."

Si Ruyin, who had buried her face in his chest, looked up after a long while.

"I was really scared when we were in the Fengshen Mountains."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then nodded.

"It's normal. After all, it's a life-or-death crisis, so it's normal to feel scared."

"But that's all in the past now, and I won't let my senior sister encounter that kind of thing so easily again."

He thought that Si Ruyin hadn't recovered from the previous danger, so he offered her some words of comfort.

However, Si Ruyin shook her head slightly and explained.

"No, I'm not afraid of death..."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"Ah, why?"

At this moment, Si Ruyin gazed at him with her beautiful eyes and pursed her lips.

"I...I don't know either."

"The thought of never seeing my junior brother again terrifies me."

Nothing much had happened yet, but these words left Ye Yun somewhat stunned.

No, what's the difference between this and confessing your feelings to yourself?

"this……"

For a moment, Ye Yun was at a loss.

She wondered if her senior sister had come all this way tonight just to confess her feelings to her.

Amidst these complex emotions, he gently stroked Si Ruyin's hair and smiled.

"Don't be afraid, in the end, it all passed, didn't it?"

Regardless of whether it's a confession or not, calming down my senior sister's emotions is the most important thing.

Hearing his words, Si Ruyin's sadness subsided, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Yes... that's right."

"So when I met my junior brother, I was truly moved..."

No matter who it is, when they see someone they care about crossing mountains and rivers to save them from danger, they will be overjoyed.

I'm sure everyone will be incredibly moved...

Ye Yun smiled calmly at this.

"To me, my senior sister is like family, so it's only natural for me to go and save you."

"Besides, didn't my senior sister save me before? This is a way of repaying her."

However, Si Ruyin was clearly not satisfied with this explanation.

She shook her head and said seriously.

"That won't do. I'm the one who owes my junior brother more!"

The reason I said this is because I was thinking about all the care Ye Yun had given her before.

Seeing her insistence, Ye Yun could only shrug helplessly.

"Alright, let's assume that's what Senior Sister said."

Si Ruyin, on the contrary, seemed quite happy about this.

She nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes, that's it!"

Ye Yun looked at her helplessly and asked.

"So, my senior sister came to see me so late, still in her pajamas, just to have a chat, right?"

Upon hearing this, Si Ruyin blushed and looked shy.

After a while, she gave a somewhat awkward explanation.

"I...I'm having trouble sleeping. What happened before is giving me nightmares."

"I'm scared, so I'd like my junior brother to stay with me..."

To be honest, although these words are very touching.

The problem is, when Si Ruyin spoke, she really wanted to read it aloud.

As a result, Ye Yun's expression turned strange, as if he had thought of something.

"Hey, Senior Sister Ruyin, did Senior Sister Xiaorou teach you to say these things?"

Upon hearing this, Si Ruyin immediately reacted like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.

She quickly shook her head, like a rattle-drum.

"No, no, nobody taught me how to say it."

But the way she acted, it looked like she was trying to hide something.

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and teased her.

"Really? If you're not being honest, senior sister, then I'm not staying here any longer."

Seeing Ye Yun say this, Si Ruyin finally blushed and nodded.

"Okay...it's just a little bit."

But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like just a little bit.

The main problem is that those words really didn't seem like something Si Ruyin could have come up with.

Then, Ye Yun stared at the somewhat shy Si Ruyin and couldn't help but ask.

"So, what exactly does Senior Sister mean by this? Are you perhaps trying to seduce me on purpose?"

Feeling Ye Yun's gaze, Si Ruyin felt even more shy.

After a while, she bit her lip lightly, as if she had made up her mind.

Then, Si Ruyin leaned forward, looked up at Ye Yun who was close at hand, and asked softly.

"Junior brother...do you want it?"

Her gentle words possessed a certain magic.

Even Ye Yun, who had a strong will, couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

The fact that Si Ruyin was able to say such things shows that she had mustered up a lot of courage.

He looked at his senior sister, who was both shy and embarrassed, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and ask.

"Senior sister, are you serious?"

"Um……"

Si Ruyin blushed slightly and nodded gently.

"Junior brother can do whatever he wants."

The previous words, combined with these words, are simply too tempting.

It instantly reignited the flames that Ye Yun had just burned out.

"Alright, alright, so that's what Senior Sister was planning."

Ye Yun stared at Si Ruyin with a smile, her expression playful.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony, junior brother."

"Good senior sister, don't cry too much later."

These teasing remarks made Si Ruyin even more shy, and her face turned even redder.

However, she seemed to have made up her mind, and said while lightly biting her lip.

"I see……"

Seeing her like this only made me want to bully her even more.

Ye Yun grinned.

"Great, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced on it.

……

……

……

Two hours later.

Congratulations! You have gained 500 Creation Points!

For Ye Yun now, this amount of fortune is nothing.

The key is the joy of going to Wushan with others.

After it was over, Ye Yun looked pleased and smiled at Si Ruyin, who was nestled in his arms.

"What do you think, senior sister? Isn't it even more amazing than before?"

At this moment, Si Ruyin was lying in his arms, almost completely exhausted, and she didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

She felt as if she had melted away, her whole body limp and powerless.

Faced with Ye Yun's embarrassing question, she turned her face away shyly.

"Just a little bit..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled knowingly.

"Really? Then why was Senior Sister's pleading much louder than last time?"

These words really stung Si Ruyin.

Her face flushed red, and she pursed her lips.

"I, I just..."

She could only say half of it before she couldn't continue, so she buried her face tightly in Ye Yun's arms and said one sentence.

"Junior brother, you're so naughty..."

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun joked.

"Since I'm so naughty, why are you still hugging me so tightly, aren't you afraid I'll bully you again?"

Si Ruyin's delicate body trembled, and she shook her head.

"Don't bully me, I really have no strength left."

She was not only weak, but even her voice was a little hoarse.

It is evident that Ye Yun went through a lot of trouble before this.

There was no way Ye Yun could resist teasing Senior Sister Ruyin so much.

However, she is indeed not quite up to par now.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and scratched his head.

"Okay, Senior Sister, I won't bully you anymore."

"Um……"

Si Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

Then, she looked at Ye Yun in front of her, her voice filled with deep emotion.

"Junior brother, I like you so much..."

"Yeah...me too."

Ye Yun held her and responded gently.

These words were undoubtedly the most beautiful love confession to Si Ruyin.

She nestled in Ye Yun's arms, her heart gradually calming down.

Combined with her physical exhaustion, she quickly fell asleep, and soon her even breathing could be heard.

Looking at his senior sister sleeping soundly in his arms, Ye Yun sighed softly.

"Senior sister, you're so cute."

Sometimes he couldn't help but think of a certain phrase.

The Great Way should not be so narrow, and fellow practitioners should not be so few.

His senior sister likes him so much, and they've even practiced dual cultivation so many times. It wouldn't make sense for him not to accept her completely.

However, these are all things that will cause headaches later.

……

After that, Ye Yun rested for about three or four days.

Of course, during this period, I did not engage in dual cultivation with my senior sister or anyone else.

Ye Yun almost always meditates and cultivates alone in his room.

Thanks to his previous dual cultivation with Empress Yunxiao, his cultivation level has made considerable progress.

This is at a critical juncture for a breakthrough.

A surge of powerful profound energy erupted from Ye Yun's body.

The room trembled slightly.

Soon after, Ye Yun opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.

"Great, we finally succeeded!"

His aura suddenly rose to another level, officially entering the fourth level of the Dao Building realm!

This means we've taken another step closer to the Imperial Realm!

Ye Yun stood up, stretched, and moved his body around.

Then, pushing open the door and stepping into the courtyard, Ye Yun glanced in the direction of the Wutong Mountains.

"I wonder how the battle over there is progressing, and how the formations are being prepared..."

For Ye Yun, there are still quite a few things to be resolved.

Even their master and the others didn't know if the operation would go smoothly.

Just as Ye Yun was pondering, someone suddenly came to the courtyard.

Ye Yun recognized him at a glance; he was one of the bodyguards beside Empress Yunxiao.

Upon entering, she immediately saw Ye Yun in the courtyard and bowed respectfully.

"Young Master Ye, the City Lord requests your presence."

Ye Yun paused for a moment and asked.

"Oh? What happened?"

However, the Empress's guard shook his head.

"This... I don't know either. You'll probably have to go there in person to find out."

Judging from this, there must be some confidential matter that needs to be discussed with me.

Or perhaps, the matter she was asked to investigate has already yielded results...

With that in mind, Ye Yun did not hesitate.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

……

Not long after, in the study.

"You've arrived?"

Behind the desk, Empress Yunxiao, who was working, looked up at him with a faint smile on her face.

Ye Yun was taken aback by that warm, gentle smile.

At this moment, Ye Yun nodded slightly.

"Hmm... I came immediately as soon as I heard that you summoned me, senior."

Two or three days later, when he saw Empress Yunxiao again, he couldn't help but feel something was off.

The reason is that the aura emanating from the Empress Yunxiao before them seems to be much stronger than before.

Therefore, he asked with some curiosity.

"Senior, have you broken through to a breakthrough in the past two days?"

No, not at all.

Empress Yunxiao put down her pen and explained to him.

"I just want to thank you for your previous method of dispelling the Gu, and for the pure Yang blood you provided later."

"Now that my old injuries have healed and I have fully recovered to my peak condition, I must thank Young Master Ye."

For her, she had been injured before, and her combat strength was only about 70% or 80% of her peak.

After the poison is completely eliminated and the injuries are fully healed, he seems to have returned to his peak condition.

Although a lot had happened between them before this.

Regardless, Ye Yun had been a great help to her, so she expressed her gratitude.

Ye Yun scratched his head and smiled faintly.

"It's nothing, just a small favor."

This is not a lie, whether it's the method to neutralize the poison or the subsequent use of pure Yang blood.

For him, none of this mattered, especially considering the added benefit of gaining good fortune.

At this moment, Empress Yunxiao shook her head and said solemnly.

"For Young Master Ye, it might just be a small favor."

"But for me and even Cloud City, it is an immense favor."

If it weren't for Ye Yun's appearance and help, they might have been ruled by the Ascension Sect in the future.

Therefore, in the eyes of Empress Yunxiao, they still owed Ye Yun something and thought that they would have the opportunity to repay him in the future.

Seeing how polite the other party was, Ye Yun didn't stand on ceremony anymore and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, then I'll accept."

Anyway, he had originally been thinking about whether he could get some favors from Empress Yunxiao, and now his wish had come true.

After expressing her gratitude, Empress Yunxiao paused and gave a reminder.

"By the way, you must not let anyone know about my recovery."

"Huh? Why?"

Ye Yun looked puzzled and asked with a strange expression.

"With your old wounds healed, wouldn't it be good to spread the word and boost morale?"

Empress Yunxiao is now the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, but everyone knows she is injured.

Therefore, when managing the cultivators below, those below would feel somewhat uneasy.

They believed that Empress Yunxiao's combat strength was worrisome and that she would be unable to lead them to victory against the Ascension Sect in the future.

Empress Yunxiao merely sneered at this.

"No, while it may be beneficial in the short term, its effects are very limited."

"But if it's kept secret, there might be even more benefits."

"Let everyone think I'm still seriously injured; that will definitely give the Ascension Sect a pleasant surprise!"

At this point in time, everyone believes she is seriously injured.

Judging from her thoughts, she clearly intended to keep her true strength hidden and launch a ruthless attack on the Immortal Ascension Sect.

Ye Yun supported Empress Yunxiao's plan and nodded in agreement.

"No problem, since you have this idea, I wholeheartedly agree and I definitely won't let you know!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao showed a satisfied expression.

That would be best.

She was relatively at ease with Ye Yun.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Ye Yun at this time.

Afterwards, Ye Yun thought for a moment and asked.

"Senior, did you call me here just to show off your restored cultivation?"

If that's the case, it really doesn't seem like Empress Yunxiao at all.

As expected, Empress Yunxiao immediately rejected the idea.

"No, of course it's not just this."

As she spoke, she handed over a piece of paper from the table.

"Young Master Ye, this is the result of the investigation conducted by your two senior sisters on the place they visited."

"I find this quite important; you should take a look."

The place that Qianrou and Siruyin went to was undoubtedly the same place that they had accidentally stumbled upon earlier, the headquarters of the Ascension Sect.

Ye Yun looked at the papers handed to him and raised an eyebrow, asking a question.

"Could it be that it really is some extraordinary place?"

Empress Yunxiao did not say this directly, but only offered an explanation.

"Young Master Ye, you'll know what kind of place it is once you take a look. It is indeed a special place."

Hearing her say that, Ye Yun also became interested and picked it up to take a look.

The paper contained an investigation report, which was presented to Empress Yunxiao from an unknown source.

Its content is quite concise, stating the result directly.

[Based on our investigation, this location is suspected to be a place where a large number of sacrificial offerings of the Ascension Cult are held captive. Please pay close attention!]

Following this was a detailed investigation of the site and the corresponding supporting evidence.

After reading it, Ye Yun basically made a judgment.

"Where are the sacrificial offerings imprisoned? Interesting..."

Ye Yun carefully read through the intelligence report in his hand.

According to the description above, all offerings sent to the headquarters in the Wutong Mountains are transferred out from here.

In the past few days, several escort teams have brought a number of people here.

Based on the corroborating evidence, this location should be the place where the Ascension Sect kept guards and imprisoned the sacrificial offerings nearby.

Although the discovery of this place will not play a significant role in eradicating the Ascension Cult.

However, if it can be removed at a critical moment, it can definitely save many innocent people.

After all, if the Ascension Sect were to fall, it is possible that the remaining members would slaughter all the sacrificial offerings here.

However, it is not yet clear how many people are being held at this place where the sacrificial offerings are kept.

Ye Yun looked up at Empress Yunxiao, pondered for a moment, and asked.

"Senior, now that you've found out, do you intend to remove it now?"

Empress Yunxiao pondered for a moment before explaining.

"Not now, I'm currently sending people over to further investigate the situation at the base."

"Once we figure out the strength of their defenses, we can take them down in one fell swoop to avoid any unforeseen complications."

This is a relatively safe choice, and it does fit the current situation.

However, Ye Yun frowned.

"Senior, I think it would be better to send people to surround the area first, and then find out the details."

Empress Yunxiao was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

"If we do that, and there are powerful people stationed there, it could cause considerable losses."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Yun made a comment.

"But if we act too slowly, we might give those guys time to move the offerings."

He put down the paper in his hand and looked at Empress Yunxiao with a serious expression.

"Senior, have you forgotten that this place was first discovered by my senior sisters?"

"The Ascension Sect should now suspect that the location where the sacrificial offerings were imprisoned has been discovered."

"There's a good chance we'll find an opportunity to move the offerings there later..."

At this point, he added a sentence.

"My advice is still to act quickly and not give them a chance to move."

"If you agree, I will also ask the other factions to provide support as much as possible."
