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

Ye Yun explained the relationship between Mo Ruyan and Qing Shi to them.

After listening, Wu Ling suddenly understood.

"I see……"

She looked at Mo Ruyan in surprise and said thoughtfully.

"I had heard about this before, and it turns out it's true."

Previously, Wu Ling had heard that Qing Shi's physical body was that of an inner female cultivator from the Ancient Dao Holy Land.

At the time, she didn't quite believe it, but now that Ye Yun has said it himself, it's undoubtedly solid proof.

Mo Ruyan was unaware of Wu Ling's true identity, assuming he was someone close to Ye Yun.

"At the time, I was confused, that's why..."

Mo Ruyan sighed, as if she was about to offer an explanation.

However, Ye Yun immediately interrupted her.

"Senior Sister Mo, let's stop talking for now."

Then he smiled at him and said.

"Let me take you to find a room first."

"Hmm... okay."

Mo Ruyan stopped herself from saying what she was about to say.

Clearly, this was something Ye Yun did intentionally.

As for the purpose, it was naturally for Mo Ruyan's future considerations.

Before long, Mo Ruyan left with Ye Yun.

Behind him, Wu Ling wore a puzzled expression.

……

"Senior Sister Mo, you can stay in this room from now on."

Ye Yun arranged a room for him in the palace.

After entering, Mo Ruyan glanced at the clean, tidy, and elegant room in front of her.

Then, she looked at Ye Yun and sighed.

"Well... I mentioned it before, with your current strength and status..."

"If you keep calling me 'senior sister,' it's really too much of a burden for me."

"If you can, please just call me by my first name."

Even disregarding Ye Yun's various identities.

Just look at Ye Yun's cultivation at the peak of the Dao Building stage.

It felt a little strange to hear him call her "senior sister".

Moreover, it wouldn't be good if word got out.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun coughed lightly.

"Well, we've gotten used to calling him that."

However, what the other party said was not without merit.

Although it felt awkward, he changed his words.

"Alright then, from now on, I'll call you Ruyan."

This name always reminded him of the so-called Emperor Ruyan.

Mo Ruyan didn't think too much about it. Seeing that he changed his mind, she nodded slightly.

"Yes, Elder Ye."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and gave Ye Yun a deep look.

"I'm so sorry about what happened to Xiaoshi."

She hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

Sometimes I think that if it weren't for me, so many innocent people wouldn't have died.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun shook his head.

"There's no need to bring up the past."

"As for what you did, it has all been made up for."

They didn't even mention the life-saving grace the other party had shown them.

Her crucial interference in that final battle alone was enough to wash away many sins.

Mo Ruyan shook her head at this.

"No, that's not enough."

Seeing her guilty expression, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile.

"It's okay, there's plenty of time in the future."

"If you truly feel guilty, then take your time to make amends."

In Ye Yun's view, a person with courage is one who dares to admit their mistakes and make amends for them.

Mo Ruyan was very pleased with his words of comfort.

A slight ripple appeared in his eyes, and then he nodded.

"Thank you, Elder Ye."

"Alright, that's enough for now. Get some rest here."

Speaking of this matter, Ye Yun did not forget to add a sentence.

"Try not to go out until you've finished dealing with your business, to avoid any accidents."

Although this was somewhat like house arrest, Mo Ruyan was not someone who didn't know the gravity of the situation.

She knew that Ye Yun was doing this for her own good.

After all, in the eyes of the outside world, she is still the dragon seed Qing Shi who committed heinous crimes.

Therefore, Mo Ruyan readily assured her.

"Okay, I won't go out."

At this moment, she didn't want to see anyone; she just wanted to be alone and have some peace and quiet.

After settling Mo Ruyan in, Ye Yun left his palace.

On the peak of Creation, Hong Xian'er was waiting for her.

"How is it? Is everything arranged?"

"Hmm, no problem."

Ye Yun smiled and nodded.

"She's a smart person; I'm sure she won't wander off."

"That's good."

Hong Xian'er showed a satisfied expression.

If possible, they still do not want to use forceful means to bind Mo Ruyan to the Creation Peak.

After that, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and asked.

"Speaking of which, has Madam decided on what to say to the outside world regarding Mo Ruyan?"

Ultimately, Qing Shi was released with the help of Mo Ruyan.

If this point is not explained, it's hard to guarantee that no one will have objections.

Although no one will do anything to her openly.

But in private, it's hard to say.

That could lead to one tragedy, which in turn could lead to another tragedy.

"Isn't this simple?"

Hong Xian'er revealed a meaningful smile and slowly explained.

"Qing Shi's divine soul influenced him, thereby controlling Mo Ruyan and causing him to do those things later."

"I believe this reason is acceptable, isn't it?"

After hearing her suggestion, Ye Yun's eyes lit up.

"Yes, this is fine."

Especially given Qing Shi's powerful methods, it's understandable that he could remotely control someone like this.

Furthermore, Mo Ruyan's cultivation level is indeed not high.

That does fit the description of being controlled by someone else.

With this reason, even if someone dislikes him, they wouldn't be so impulsive as to kill him.

However, Ye Yun was still somewhat surprised by Hong Xian'er's attitude.

"Speaking of which, Xian'er, you're actually so forgiving? You agreed to let Mo Ruyan go so easily."

He had originally planned to reason with Hong Xian'er and appeal to her emotions.

"Otherwise what?"

Hong Xian'er glanced at him and said indifferently.

"No matter what, she saved you, so I could never kill her."

"Furthermore, the cultivation techniques and profound skills that Qing Shi provided were indeed quite substantial."

Ultimately, it was after she took her position that...

When taking action, one must consider more than just one's own emotions.

First and foremost, we will consider the overall interests of the Holy Land and the interests of those around us.

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully and joked.

"I see... I thought it was because Xian'er loved me too much."

Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him.

"That's certainly part of it."

Although she really wanted to give Ye Yun a couple of slaps, she still restrained herself.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun chuckled.

"I knew it."

Then, he thought for a moment and asked.

"By the way, what about Qing Shi? Have you decided whether or not to kill her?"

Compared to Mo Ruyan's handling of the matter, Qing Shi's case is clearly the most important.

When this matter was mentioned, Hong Xian'er showed a complicated expression and sighed.

"To be honest, I'm a little conflicted too."

From an emotional perspective, she didn't want Qing Shi to die like that.

From a rational perspective, however, Qing Shi's murder would be the best outcome to bring peace to the situation.

Therefore, Hong Xian'er was torn between her inner thoughts and her own, just like the two factions arguing in the council hall back then.

Just then, Ye Yun seemed to see through her inner struggle and smiled.

"I do have a good suggestion."

Hong Xian'er paused for a moment, then asked with great interest.

"Really? Tell me about it?"

Ye Yun stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

"My wife, we can do this, and then..."

After listening to Ye Yun's story, Hong Xian'er gently stroked her chin, seemingly deep in thought.

After a while, she nodded and replied with four words.

"That's feasible."

……

A few days later, Hong Xian'er convened another meeting of all staff.

The meeting's content, naturally, was still about the handling of Qing Shi.

Hong Xian'er sat in the Holy Lord's seat, while Ye Yun sat to her left.

The round table in the council chamber was filled with the elders who served as revered figures in the holy site.

However, at the beginning, the scene was the same as last time.

The two opposing viewpoints were arguing fiercely in the council chamber.

"You bunch of bastards, all you know is killing, killing, killing, you..."

"I think you're the ones who's being unreasonable, actually sparing this guy's life, you..."

"..."

In the end, it was Hong Xian'er who spoke up and stopped the argument between the two sides.

"Alright, there's no point in arguing about this anymore."

Hong Xian'er looked at everyone and took a deep breath.

Then, the noise at the scene subsided.

Both sides stared at her indignantly, seemingly wanting Hong Xian'er to support their side.

At this moment, Hong Xian'er naturally cannot show any weakness in terms of her aura.

She glanced at Ye Yun beside her, then addressed the crowd with a serious expression.

"I have some thoughts on this matter."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand.

One by one, jade slips flew out and landed on the table in front of each person.

Everyone looked puzzled and picked up the jade slip in front of them to take a look.

"This is……"

At this moment, Ye Yun smiled faintly at everyone.

"You'll see when you take a look."

Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

However, they all knew that in this situation, Ye Yun's words were essentially Hong Xian'er's words.

Without much hesitation, they all picked up the jade slips in front of them and took a look.

Upon seeing the contents, their expressions changed drastically.

"These...the things in here are all real?!"

Before long, everyone's eyes were fixed intently on Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er, trying to get their approval.

Clearly, the contents of this jade slip had successfully excited every elder present.

Ye Yun was very satisfied with their reaction.

As for the items inside, they are actually the cultivation techniques and secret skills that Qing Shi gave them as a trade in front of them.

Of course, only a small part of the original version is included.

It's at the level where people know what something is, but not to the point where they can actually learn it.

This is also to prevent the presence of informants from external forces among the elders who offer sacrifices, thus avoiding the leakage of all information.

Ye Yun looked at everyone and nodded.

"Rest assured, everyone, everything in this is 100% authentic."

Fei Qingluo, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but ask.

"These are all techniques and secret skills that our holy land has lost for tens of thousands of years."

"Elder Ye and His Majesty the Holy Lord, where did you get these from?!"
