Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Chapter 253 Farewell to Yunxia (4500 words, bonus chapter for 200 monthly votes)

As the night passed, ordinary people had no idea that a tremendous event had occurred in the city the previous night. Most of the people in the northern city government had their memories erased by the Secret Investigation Department using some special means, making them forget what happened the previous night.

Of course, Wu Yingwen knew about the cultivation world, so he didn't make him lose his memory. However, the Secret Investigation Division ordered Wu Yingwen to cover up the matter with minimal disturbance.

As for the battle in the desolate mountains to the west yesterday, even if ordinary people witnessed it, they would at most treat it as a topic of conversation over tea.

After Lu Wenyang ran away, Lan Wei searched for him but couldn't find him, so she quietly returned to Jianglin City.

"Ah! I originally thought I'd have some fun in the mortal world, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Lan Wei, did Lu Wenyang really run away?" Ye Liuyun asked the Lan Wei sword in his body.

Lan Wei nodded.

"Yes, Master, I only have thirty percent of my power. I am unable to keep him here. I have disappointed you," Lan Weijian replied.

But Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, let him run away. Anyway, the imperial court's cultivators are hunting him down everywhere. I believe he can't escape," Ye Liuyun said.

But just then, Lin Aoxue returned.

"Liuyun, Lu Wenyang is dead. The Prince of Nan has made his move." Lin Aoxue told Ye Liuyun what she knew as soon as she came in.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, but she wasn't particularly surprised. The cultivation world had made a move, and the secular court couldn't possibly remain unmoved. After all, Lu Wenyang belonged to the secular court, but he had secretly colluded with evil sects, which must have violated the court's taboos. They couldn't let him live.

"Ah! That's good. However, Aoxue, I feel that the sect leader might start to suspect the secret between us," Ye Liuyun reminded her.

That's for sure. Lin Aoxue and the others couldn't possibly keep it a secret. After the battle last night, Yun Yun even said something, intentionally or unintentionally. Although she didn't ask her directly, it was still a question she asked indirectly.

The gist of it is asking why wherever she and Ye Liuyun go, the world changes. Isn't that just a disguised question?

Lin Aoxue knew what her master meant, but she still chose to play dumb. In short, she said, "I don't know." Even if Yun Yun found out, they couldn't admit it.

"Sigh! It's certain we'll be suspected. By the way, Master, we're going back with the main group," Lin Aoxue said helplessly.

"Huh? We finally finished the mission, and now we have to go back? I wanted to have some fun in the mortal world, but we didn't get to do anything! And now we have to go back?" Ye Liuyun shrugged unhappily.

Lin Aoxue wanted to say the same thing.

"That's what I meant too, but there's nothing we can do. It's the Secular World Surveillance Bureau's idea. They want us cultivators to stay in the secular world less. After such a big incident, they don't want to cause any more trouble, so they hope we leave. If we don't leave, they'll send people to keep a close watch on us." Lin Aoxue explained Yun Yun's meaning.

Once these words reached Ye Liuyun's ears, it was no fun at all. If they went out to play, they would have to be followed by someone to keep an eye on them, and then they wouldn't be able to do anything.

Ye Liuyun sighed softly.

"Alright, alright, let's go back then. Oh, by the way, you need to tell your master that we need to bring Fan Ling along," Ye Liuyun said.

"This is no trouble at all. Just take her back and have her be your maid." Lin Aoxue nodded.

Ye Liuyun discovered Fan Ling's usefulness again. Lan Wei told her that Fan Ling was very suitable to be her host, and she didn't need to worry about damaging Fan Ling's body.

And so, the two of them, along with Fan Ling, retrieved their mounts, left the city to find a secluded place, and boarded the Yunxia Sect's flying boat to embark on the road back to the Yunxia Sect.

However, on the flying boat, Yun Yun called Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue over separately because she had something to say to them.

"Aoxue, there's something I might need to tell you and her," Yun Yun said with a serious expression.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue knew from Yun Yun's expression that what she was about to say was probably not good news.

"Master, you speak," Lin Aoxue gestured.

Yun Yun didn't waste any time. This was something Yun Zong had suddenly told her today, and she couldn't refuse.

"Today, Sect Master Fang personally told me that in order to prepare for the Nanling Grand Gathering in advance, you will spend the next period of time cultivating at the Yun Sect. The Yun Sect will do its best to help you improve your cultivation and will also teach you some unique Yun Sect techniques," Yun Yun said.

This sounds like a good thing. After all, there was an agreement beforehand, and it's perfectly reasonable for Yun Yun to go to Yun Zong. She shouldn't need to make that face.

"Oh, is that so? Didn't we make an agreement before? Then this should be a good thing, right? But Master, why do you look so unhappy?" Lin Aoxue felt that things were not so simple.

Yun Yun hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ye Liuyun.

Upon seeing Yun Yun's gaze, Ye Liuyun's heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you suddenly looking at me? Could it be that I'm involved in this?" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.

As expected, Yun Yun continued.

"Then I'll be frank. You two are from the same place and are as close as sisters. Yun Zong must know about this. By the way, do you already know about what happened in Qixia Town? I've investigated, and it was done by the imperial court. It seems to be related to your two families."

Qixia Town was already within the territory of the Yunxia Sect. Yun Yun actually knew about it before Lin Aoxue and the others, but she originally planned to find a better time to tell them.

The two thought for a moment, and then Lin Aoxue spoke first.

“I already know about this matter, but I don’t understand why our two families suddenly left Qixia Town. Our families have a certain connection with the imperial court, which you should have known about long ago, Master.”

Yun Yun nodded; she was determined to investigate this matter thoroughly.

“That’s right, but this is a worldly matter and has nothing to do with my cultivation world. I’m just telling you this, to continue from what we were saying earlier, in order to ensure that you will represent the interests of the Yun Sect at the Nanling Grand Gathering, the Yun Sect said they would give your sister preferential treatment and make her a direct disciple of the Yun Sect, so she can go to the Yun Sect with you. Of course, you are not a disciple of the Yun Sect, she is.” Yun Yun said something that made Lin Aoxue and the other woman’s expressions change.

This is not good news. Don't be fooled by how tactful Yun Yun is. To put it bluntly, she's sending Ye Liuyun to the Yun Sect as a hostage. This feeling of being threatened is not pleasant. There is absolutely no one in this world who enjoys being threatened.

"Isn't this threatening me?" Lin Aoxue had originally planned to take Ye Liuyun to the Supreme Response Sect, but after hearing Yun Yun's words, she felt that the Yun Sect might not let Ye Liuyun leave.

Because, as you can imagine, as long as Yunzong binds Ye Liuyun to Yunzong's side, then Lin Aoxue will definitely do everything she can to help Yunzong survive the calamity a hundred years from now.

She wasn't actually worried about Ye Liuyun being in danger, since she already knew about his situation. However, she was concerned that Ye Liuyun might be bullied in the Yun Sect.

"That's roughly the idea," Yun Yun said helplessly.

The two knew they had no choice. If they were in charge of Yunzong's side, they would have done the same thing just in case. It was the wisest choice. In important matters, one should never entrust the future to an uncertain factor.

Take Fan Ling for example. Although she is weak now, who can guarantee her future? So we must not place our hopes on others, but firmly grasp the possibilities in our own hands.

---------------------------------

"Oh! I see. So, after we go back, we won't stay long before we have to go to the Cloud Sect?" Lin Aoxue asked.

"Yes, that's what I mean. The reason I'm sending you back this time is to pack your things. Aoxue, don't blame your master. Your master doesn't want to use you as a bargaining chip, but you also understand that the cultivation world is ruled by the strong. Our Yunxia Sect can't refuse, and it's not time to break ties with the Yun Sect yet," Yun Yun said with a wry smile.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue both understood this principle.

The two of them walked away from Yun Yun and went to the bow of the boat to talk about the matter alone.

"Ah! What do you think?" Lin Aoxue sighed.

Ye Liuyun shook his head indifferently.

"It doesn't matter to me where I go. The main concern is you. You're not immortal, so you should be the one who's more careful," Ye Liuyun reminded him.

"Hehe, me? Don't worry, wherever I go, I'll be the best. I'm sure I'll become the strongest person of this era. I'm not worried," Lin Aoxue said proudly.

The two didn't dwell on the matter. Although they had spent several years in the Yunxia Sect and had developed some attachment to it, they also knew that the Yunxia Sect was just a small place and they would have to leave sooner or later.

The spaceship traveled very fast, and in less than five hours, they returned to the Yunxia Sect.

According to Yun Yun, the people from the Yun Sect will come to pick them up in three days, so they should try to get everything they need to do done within three days.

"Hey, you're back so soon. Oh, and you brought a girl with you?" Sun Wukong greeted Ye Liuyun from the tree, while looking at Fan Ling with some confusion.

Fan Ling was startled when a monkey greeted her.

"Huh? Master, this monkey can talk, it can't be a monster, right?" Fan Ling pointed at Sun Wukong with a look of astonishment.

If it were a demon, that would be fine, but she didn't detect any demonic energy in Sun Wukong; he seemed just like an ordinary monkey.

"Yes, you're back. How's everything at home these past few days?" Ye Liuyun didn't immediately answer Fan Ling's question.

"Don't worry, those two little tiger cubs are completely under my thumb, hehe." Sun Wukong laughed smugly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun hurriedly entered his residence. As soon as he entered, the two little tigers came out looking aggrieved and howling.

He looked like he was being bullied by Sun Wukong.

"Hey? What's wrong? What's wrong? Did you get bullied by monkeys? No, you're tigers, why are you afraid of monkeys?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but complain as he listened to the two little tigers' complaints.

However, the two little tigers pointed at Sun Wukong outside and began to complain, basically saying that Sun Wukong had an aura that made them very afraid.

This guy has been bullying the two of them a lot lately, and so on. Of course, Sun Wukong was just teasing them and didn't really do anything to them.

However, Ye Liuyun still gave Sun Dasheng a symbolic warning.

"Hey! Little ones, we're moving soon. Before we leave, I have to do something, consider it a parting gift for my acquaintances." Ye Liuyun hadn't spent the last three days with Lin Aoxue, but instead went to meet up with her acquaintances in the Yunxia Sect, such as the sisters in the outer sect.

The female disciples of the outer sect were stunned when they learned that Ye Liuyun was going to the Cloud Sect. It was too unexpected.

Of course, Ye Liuyun explained the reasons, then gifted them some pills of all kinds, and told them to keep it a secret and not to tell anyone that she had made them.

Of course, she wouldn't care even if people found out in the end.

After greeting them, Ye Liuyun went to the Alchemy Pavilion, but Yunxiao already knew about it, since Ye Liuyun was nominally her disciple.

Nalan Yan was very sad.

"Sister Liuyu, I don't know what to say about this. I can only wish you a better future at the Cloud Sect," Nalan Yan said helplessly.

This is the sect's decision, and there's no way to persuade them to stay.

"Senior sister, don't worry, I will be a disciple of Yunxia Sect for life," Ye Liuyun comforted her.

The news that Ye Liuyun was leaving Yunxia Sect quickly spread to his fellow disciples. Many people came to say goodbye to him, and Ye Liuyun generously gave them the pills he had refined, mainly life-saving pills.

She could only hope that these acquaintances could live well. Of course, for someone like Ye Liuyun who possessed endless lifespan, these people would eventually disappear from her life.

There's definitely sadness, but there's nothing we can do but get used to it.

Lin Aoxue didn't have many acquaintances or friends. Due to her personality, she was destined to be someone that strangers couldn't approach.

However, on the day before she left, Lin Aoxue came to find Ye Liuyun.

"Liu Yun, could you give me a Longevity Pill? I remember you should have some left, right?" Lin Aoxue asked.

Ye Liuyun seemed to understand what Lin Aoxue meant.

"Oh, I see. Are you going to give it to your grandmaster?" Ye Liuyun understood immediately.

“That’s right, my master’s lifespan is running out, and I want to help her,” Lin Aoxue replied.

Without much thought, Ye Liuyun immediately took out a wooden box and handed it to Lin Aoxue.

"Take it, but how do you intend to explain this?" Ye Liuyun countered.

"Don't worry about that, I have my own way of doing it." Lin Aoxue chuckled.

After obtaining the pills, Lin Aoxue left immediately. She first found Yun Yun and handed the pills over to her, because it was most appropriate for Yun Yun to pass them on to Yun Yan.

As for what Yunyun thinks, that's not important.

After the two finished handling the affairs of the Yunxia Sect, they no longer had any worries.

The next morning, Ye Liuyun neatly arranged the belongings of the disciples belonging to the Yunxia Sect in the room, and disciples would come to collect the room later.

After doing all this, Ye Liuyun put the two tiger cubs and Liusu into his spirit beast bag. Oh, and Sun Wukong too. Sun Wukong was going to follow Ye Liuyun, or more accurately, he was going to follow the spirit peach tree.

"Hey? Little Peach, can you shrink a bit?" Ye Liuyun said, looking at the spirit peach tree.

The spirit peach tree knew what Ye Liuyun meant. A light blue glow shimmered on his body, gradually shrinking until it turned into a small sapling.

This spirit peach tree is already considered a tree demon. Ye Liuyun found a flowerpot and planted it in it, planning to find a place to plant it again when they arrived at the Cloud Sect.

At this point, everything that needed to be packed was packed. Not long after, Lin Aoxue also flew over. She came to pick up Ye Liuyun and take him to the sect's main hall. Qin Su from the Yun Sect had already arrived.

Having said everything that needed to be said, Qin Su greeted Yun Yun and the others after arriving at the main hall.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll take my leave. Don't worry, I'll take good care of them both," Qin Su said to Yun Yun and the others.

Yun Yun glanced at Lin Aoxue, then sighed softly.

With a wave of her hand, Qin Su enveloped Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue in her power, transforming them into a streak of light that vanished into the horizon in an instant.

"Ah! Aoxue, I know you are destined for greatness. Go further in your journey," Yunyun murmured as she watched her disciple leave.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's journey at Yunxia Sect has come to an end.

Chapter 254 Cloud Sect (4000 words)

Carried by Qin Su's power, it flew at high speed, feeling faster than riding a rocket, at least five or six times faster than Lin Aoxue's full-speed sword flight.
