Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 117 Return from the Secret Realm.

A white light suddenly appeared.

In a dizzying moment, Chen Lianshu felt her body lighten, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already at the Azure Jade Platform of the Jade Jade Sect.

The moonlight was cool and clear.

The disciples around them, in twos and threes, snapped out of their daze from the teleportation.

Some looked delighted, clearly having reaped a bountiful harvest;

Some looked dejected, fearing they would return empty-handed;

Even worse, some, upon thinking of their fallen fellow disciples, couldn't help but hug their knees and weep bitterly, unable to stop sobbing.

After confirming that no one else would return from the secret realm, the elders who were waiting there went forward to greet them.

Some people were busy registering and compiling lists, while many more were counting heads and confirming casualties.

"call"

Chen Lianshu breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Finally out."

Although his trip to the secret realm did not put him in any real danger, the moment he stepped onto the ground of the Jade Jade Sect, it still felt like a lifetime had passed.

The tension that had been building up for days could finally be released.

Beside her, Mu Qianxue had also steadied herself.

She immediately looked to her side, and only after confirming that Chen Lianshu was safe and sound did she feel a little relieved.

only--

Her gaze fell on his empty arms, where the clingy little fox was no longer.

Following her senior sister's gaze, Chen Lianshu also realized what was happening.

He was saying that he felt something was missing, and it turned out that he was missing that little guy who always acted spoiled.

"It seems Jiu'er has been teleported to another place."

"Um.

""

Mu Qianxue nodded slightly.

The teleportation point is the outermost outer perimeter of the Jade Jade Sect.

The sect is vast, and there are multiple teleportation points, so finding Jiu'er is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So in the secret realm, they made a pact that Jiu'er would go to Jade Spirit Peak to find them herself.

Before parting, Chen Lianshu gave his token to the little girl to facilitate her passage.

"Meow!"

Little Snow Flame peeked out from Cold Noodles Senior Sister's arms, looked around, and found that the drama queen fox was gone.

She seized the opportunity and jumped into Chen Lianshu's arms.

After enjoying his caresses, the little guy unconsciously let out a comfortable purring sound.

Indeed, it's much more comfortable here.

'

Mu Qianxue watched this scene with mixed feelings.

Recalling his "secret conversation" with Su Jiu'er, he wondered if the little fox had taken it to heart, and whether she could actually stop his master.

"Shall we go?"

She asked softly.

Chen Lianshu nodded in response, "Yes, let's go back to the peak first."

"Don't keep your master waiting."

"--Um."

When her master was mentioned, Mu Qianxue paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but she ultimately agreed.

The two then headed towards the exit of Qingjue Terrace.

They need to register before leaving.

Although the elders have already given a general confirmation, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

"Name."

The elder in charge of registration naturally recognized Mu Qianxue, and asking such a question was merely a routine matter.

Even before Mu Qianxue spoke, she had already checked the other person's name on the list.

"Mu Qianxue".

"identity."

"A direct disciple of Jade Spirit Peak".

"Pass."

The elder nodded, and Mu Qianxue passed through smoothly, waiting outside for her husband.

Chen Lian wrote a letter, but the elders still handled it as an official matter.

However, it was not selected in advance like it was for Mu Qianxue.

"Name."

"Chen Lianshu".

"?"

The elder looked up and glanced at it, clearly recognizing the name.

She was aware of Peak Master Pei's new disciple, and the man before her did indeed match the rumored handsome appearance.

However, she quickly returned to normal.

"identity."

He picked up his pen and marked the true disciples of Jade Spirit Peak in advance.

"A true disciple of Jade Spirit Peak".

"Pass."

Outside Qingjue Terrace, people come and go.

Some were greeted by familiar disciples, some by their elders and teachers, and some by fellow disciples in a hurry.

The two walked side by side, and before they had taken more than a few steps, someone came up to them.

"Senior Sister Mu."

"Greetings, Senior Sister Mu."

97

They are two female disciples.

"Um.

""

Mu Qianxue nodded slightly, her steps continuing.

She recognized the two as disciples of her Martial Uncle Qi Yuan.

"This must be Junior Brother Chen, right?"

The two of them guessed Chen Lianshu's identity based solely on his appearance and the fact that he was traveling with Mu Qianxue.

-

"Hello, senior sister."

Chen Lianshu responded politely.

Their gazes were more focused on Xueyan in their arms than on him.

"So cute."

One of the female disciples' eyes lit up: "Can I touch it?"

"If Xueyan is willing."

Chen Lianshu was unsure about the little guy's temperament, so he had to ask for its opinion.

"Meow~"

With that fox no longer vying for her attention, Xueyan was in a great mood and nodded.

The female disciple gently touched it; it felt really nice.

'

As Mu Qianxue watched this scene, even though she knew it was just a normal interaction, a hint of jealousy rose in her heart.

They were standing a bit too close, after all.

However, she didn't show it; she just watched quietly.

"Did Senior Sister Mu's trip to the secret realm go smoothly?"

"Yes, quite a fruitful harvest."

Mu Qianxue answered truthfully, "My cultivation also shows signs of a breakthrough."

"Yeah?"

The female disciple smiled sincerely and said, "Then I must congratulate you, Senior Sister."

"And you? How's your harvest?"

Mu Qianxue asked in return as usual.

"Not bad either."

The other party also started chatting, but then changed the subject: "However—I heard that something seems to have happened to Uncle Zhao."

"Um?"

Mu Qianxue's expression hardened slightly.

Although Zhao Fengzhu and his master were not as close as Uncle Qi, they still had a good relationship.

This naturally drew her attention.

Chen Lianshu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but prick up his ears.

He recognized this Zhao Peak Master; he was the one his senior sister had mentioned when he first came to Jade Spirit Peak.

"It seems that his two true disciples have perished."

"6

"It seems to be Junior Brother Li and Junior Sister Su."

"...

'

Mu Qianxue was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Everyone has their own destiny, and the path of cultivation is inherently arduous."

"That's true."

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes about what they had seen and heard in the secret realm.

Before long, Mu Qianxue bid farewell to the two and left with Chen Lianshu.

After all, their master is still waiting.

Once outside the sect's controlled area for sword flight, the two summoned their spirit swords and flew towards the inner sect's Jade Spirit Peak.

They did not fly directly back to the summit.

After all, given their master's personality, he's probably waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.

Descend ahead of time and walk along the forest path.

Sure enough, as soon as they got closer, a graceful figure came into view not far ahead.

The moonlight poured down, illuminating her gentle and beautiful face, making her exceptionally lovely.

The other party seemed to have noticed the two approaching as well.

"Master."

Chen Lianshu and Mu Qianxue spoke in unison.

Pei Wanyun paused for a moment before replying, "Mm."

His gaze swept over his two disciples, and after confirming that they were unharmed, the worry in his eyes finally turned into a faint smile.

Especially with Chen Lianshu, although the longing was alleviated, it was not enough.

Of course, she didn't show it, but simply said gently, "It's good that you're back."

Pei Wanyun's voice was as gentle as ever.

Despite her best efforts to restrain herself, her phoenix eyes couldn't help but linger on her husband for a moment longer.

"Was the journey smooth?"

She reached out very naturally to straighten the clothes of her two disciples.

Of course, it was all just a cover-up.

More than anything, it was to get closer to her husband.

"Um.

""

The two responded in unison.

"Let's go."

Pei Wanyun turned and led the way, her steps slow and gentle.

"If you have something to say, let's talk about it back at the peak."

The two people behind them exchanged a glance and silently followed.
