Originally, in Zhu Fei’s view, Ye Yun was involved in his matters, and even if he wasn’t afraid, he would inevitably feel so concern.
However, to Zhu Fei’s utter surprise, after hearing his question, Ye Yun rely smiled nonchalantly.
"It’s nothing. If you hadn’t given the Pill earlier, I might still worry about Elder Xu’s difficulties, but since you’ve already given it to , there’s nothing to be anxious about."
"Hmm? Immortal Ye, your father is...?"
Upon hearing Ye Yun’s words, Zhu Fei suddenly seed to understand sothing and asked curiously.
Ye Yun smiled slightly and said, "The Life-taking Immortal Monarch, he is my father."
Perhaps fearing a misunderstanding from Zhu Fei, Ye Yun quickly explained, "The reason I suggested you to stay away from the Immortal City earlier was not because my father and I were unwilling to protect you, but rather because I’m concerned that once my father recovers, the academy might associate it with you.
You should also be aware that with your ability to refine the Expelling Dao Pill, as soon as the academy finds out, they would surely focus all their attention on you.
At that ti, unless you’re willing to join my Tongtian Academy, neither I nor my father could fully guarantee your safety."
After hearing Ye Yun’s explanation, Zhu Fei’s impression of Ye Yun improved significantly.
No matter how you say it, Ye Yun was clearly considering things from his perspective, treating him as one of her own.
After thinking it over, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but smile and nod, saying, "Ah, I see, Immortal Ye, thank you so much."
As he spoke, Zhu Fei clasped his fists towards Ye Yun.
Ye Yun found it sowhat amusing as she glanced at Zhu Fei, shook her head, and said, "Alright, there’s no need for such formalities between us in the future.
Oh, I’m probably much older than you, so if you don’t mind, you can call Sister Ye Yun from now on."
Then suddenly, Ye Yun seed to think of sothing, and imdiately took out a Jade Scroll from herself, handing it to Zhu Fei, and said:
"Tang Fei, take this Jade Scroll. It contains information on a few relatively safe and secluded caves. If you ever find yourself without a place to go, you can stay in those caves for a while until my father is stable, and I will contact you again."
Zhu Fei didn’t refuse Ye Yun’s gesture of goodwill but took the Jade Scroll with a slightly embarrassed expression and said:
"Sister Ye Yun, actually, my na isn’t Tang Fei, but Zhu Fei. The reason I hid my identity before was because..."
"Heh, it’s nothing, I understand. Alright, if there’s nothing else, you should hurry and leave. I need to return and continue treating my father."
Before Zhu Fei could finish his sentence, Ye Yun interrupted him with a smile.
Zhu Fei nodded, not being sentintal, and after exchanging farewells with Ye Yun, he quickly concealed himself, vanishing from the spot.
...
Several days later, Zhu Fei appeared in an adventure team.
Thanks to Ye Yun’s previous reminder, Zhu Fei quickly escaped the influence of the Immortal City.
Given Elder Xu’s identity, even if he were extrely angry about his previous actions, he probably wouldn’t waste a lot of resources to specifically hunt him down for rely a single Traceless Immortal Grass.
After all, it’s not like the situation with Bai Potian, where he killed the other person’s son, whereas with Elder Xu, he rely took a Traceless Immortal Grass from him through normal ans.
There might have been so elent of trickery involved, but it wasn’t intentional.
Not to ntion, Ye Yun’s father has likely recovered, making it difficult for Elder Xu to pursue him openly.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu Fei, in two days’ ti, we will be reaching the Dark Mountain Range. Before then, there may still be many dangers, so everyone must remain cautious."
At this mont, a dark-skinned man standing next to Zhu Fei said seriously to him and the other mbers of the group.
This was an adventure team that Zhu Fei accidentally encountered while on his journey.
According to the group’s captain, the dark-skinned man nad Zhang Yuanfeng, he received information about a treasure in the Dark Mountain Range several decades ago.
And now, this adventure team, assembled under his na, is naturally aiming for the treasure in the Dark Mountain Range.
The entire adventure team, including the current Zhu Fei, consisted of seven people, five n and two won, with cultivations between the realms of Heavenly Immortal and Profound Immortal.
Even if the captain Zhang Yuanfeng, the highest cultivation among them, was only at the Late Stage Profound Immortal, just like Zhu Fei.
Upon hearing Zhang Yuanfeng’s words, Zhu Fei was about to respond instinctively, but at that mont, a horse-faced man beside him suddenly sneered:
"I say, Captain, I have a bad feeling about this guy; he doesn’t seem reliable. Let’s not end up in a position where not only does he fail to help us, but he also drags us down."
The atmosphere in the team quickly beca quiet after the horse-faced man’s remark.
Indeed, Zhu Fei had joined the team midway.
Zhang Yuanfeng invited Zhu Fei because he valued his Array cultivation rather than his combat abilities.
Therefore, the horse-faced man’s comnts were not only disparaging Zhu Fei but also challenging his captain.
Zhang Yuanfeng’s expression turned sowhat unpleasant as he looked at the horse-faced man and spoke in a calm tone:
"Liang Qiu, I have personally witnessed Fellow Daoist Zhu Fei’s expertise in Arrays. For this journey to the Dark Mountain Range, an Array Master is indispensable. Are you suggesting you can handle the Array tasks instead?"
The horse-faced man nad Liang Qiu hesitated at Zhang Yuanfeng’s words, a flash of malice in his eyes, but he backed down verbally:
"I see, if that’s the case, then I have nothing more to say, as long as soone doesn’t end up disappointing us."
Zhang Yuanfeng clearly didn’t approve of Liang Qiu’s attitude.
But at this mont, he didn’t elaborate further. Instead, he turned to Zhu Fei, his tone apologetic:
"Fellow Daoist Zhu Fei, I apologize. Liang Qiu’s temperant is like this, but I believe he harbors no malice, so I hope you don’t take it to heart."
Upon hearing Zhang Yuanfeng’s words, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but find it amusing and shook his head.
"Captain Zhang, don’t worry, it’s just a minor issue, nothing that matters. I certainly won’t be bothered by it."
