"Mm, since that is the case, please, Fellow Daoist Zhu."
Xia Chongyun didn’t say much more at that point. After putting away the Hollow Jade, he made an inviting gesture towards Zhu Fei and then, together with Yan Xiu, took the lead flying toward the front.
"Zhu Fei, you’re not naïve enough to really take with you to join the Great Xia Academy, are you?"
Just then, Ji Xuanyue, lying in Zhu Fei’s arms, suddenly secretly transmitted a ssage to Zhu Fei.
Hearing Ji Xuanyue’s sudden transmission, Zhu Fei wasn’t surprised.
In fact, Zhu Fei had long known that Ji Xuanyue was awake.
Now, hearing Ji Xuanyue’s question, Zhu Fei also used the secret communication technique, pretending to speak coyly, "What, Fairy Xuan Yue is unwilling? You should know, just now it was I who bid for your portion of Hollow Jade."
Zhu Fei’s words imdiately frustrated Ji Xuanyue, who then sowhat angrily and embarrassedly said,
"Hey, I’m telling you, Zhu Fei, with your insight, you should be able to see that what Xia Chongyun and the others are doing has ulterior motives, right?"
"Ulterior motives? Heh, Ji Xuanyue, your words do sound nice. They have ulterior motives, so do you think our actions right now are all that innocent?"
Zhu Fei suddenly laughed coldly and continued, "Don’t forget, it was you who first suggested I join the Great Xia Academy, and furthermore..."
Pausing slightly, Zhu Fei continued, "And considering our current condition, do you think we have other choices?"
After listening to Zhu Fei’s words, Ji Xuanyue suddenly fell silent.
Indeed, given their current situation, besides temporarily joining the Great Xia Academy to seek refuge, they really had no other choice.
Ji Xuanyue had reason to believe that if they did not follow the side of the Great Xia Dynasty now, then no one present would let them leave easily.
Not to ntion anything else, just the possibility of them possessing Hollow Jade was enough to motivate those present to take action against them.
And what’s more, both of them were severely injured at the mont; even if they wanted to desperately run away, that was simply impossible.
Thinking this, Ji Xuanyue felt sowhat disheartened and couldn’t help but complain sowhat irritably,
"Zhu Fei, it’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have fallen to this state this ti."
Ji Xuanyue’s words were clearly spoken out of anger, but Zhu Fei intentionally turned cold and sowhat teasingly said,
"What? Does Fairy Xuan Yue find a nuisance? Maybe I should just let you down and let you go with the Crown Prince and the others?"
As he said this, Zhu Fei’s hands, which were holding Ji Xuanyue’s delicate body, slightly loosened, instantly scaring Ji Xuanyue to the point of turning pale, and at that mont her beautiful eyes opened wide and she angrily glared at Zhu Fei,
"Hey, Zhu Fei, are you even a man? Can’t you take a joke when I make one?"
Zhu Fei looked into Ji Xuanyue’s eyes without speaking, simply watching her quietly, which suddenly made Ji Xuanyue’s face turn sowhat unnatural.
"What are you looking at? Did I say sothing wrong?"
Ji Xuanyue seed to still want to argue, but Zhu Fei directly interrupted her.
"Ji Xuanyue, so things, I think we both clearly understand in our hearts, so there’s no need for to spell it out, right? It’s fine for you to be cunning, but I must remind you, sotis, it’s best not to apply such sches on , for I do not take kindly to them."
Ji Xuanyue’s delicate body stiffened slightly, her gaze evasively shifting. She lightly bit her lip, but ultimately, she actively changed the subject,
"That being said, Zhu Fei, if, after we join the Great Xia Academy, those people there want to take advantage of us too, what then should we do?"
Hearing Ji Xuanyue’s question, a trace of a smile finally curved up at the corners of Zhu Fei’s mouth.
"Ji Xuanyue, with your intelligence, I don’t believe you have absolutely no thod of coping; however, no matter what, healing our injuries first is certainly the right move. Don’t you agree?"
Ji Xuanyue nodded slightly, but at this mont she did not speak.
Because at this mont, she and Zhu Fei had already seen several officials from the Great Xia Dynasty rapidly flying towards them.
...
Shu State, Shuyun Mountain.
This place was the holy land of the entire Shu State, the location of the Shushan Sword Sect, an Eighth Grade pinnacle power.
And now, outside Shuyun Mountain, suddenly a streak of Escape Light ca flying at high speed.
The Escape Light was sharp and dazzling, enabling one from afar to feel a unique and "pressing" sharpness.
The Shushan Sword Sect disciples responsible for patrolling the mountain initially revealed guarded and sharp gazes when they saw the streak of Escape Light.
However, as soon as they sensed the familiar Sword Intent, their originally wary and piercing gazes imdiately turned into ones of respect and admiration.
"Disciples of Shu Mountain Sword Sect pay respects as Senior Brother Chu returns to the mountain. We welco Senior Brother Chu’s return to the mountain!"
Vociferous and resonant voices rapidly echoed outside the mountain gates of Shu Mountain, and it didn’t take long before they spread throughout the entire periter of the Shu Mountain’s Outer Sect.
Confronted with these respectful and admiring voices, Chu Longtian, who was in the midst of the Escape Light, did not pay any attention.
At this mont, he had transford into Sword Light and quickly passed through the Outer Sect of Shu Mountain, then over the Inner Sect, and finally arrived straight at the Sect Leader’s great hall.
"Chu, dare I ask if it is you who has returned?"
Just then, an old man with a rusty iron sword hanging at his waist suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Sect Leader’s great hall.
However, when his gaze fell on the current state of Chu Longtian, his complexion imdiately changed, and he exclaid, "Chu, what has happened to you? Why has only your Primordial Spirit returned, where is your physical body?"
Hearing the old man’s question, a wry smile appeared on Chu Longtian’s face, followed by a sinking of his eyes into a gloom.
"Reporting to Master Gongsun, on my trip to the Great Xia Dynasty, I encountered so trouble and left my physical body there."
"What? There has been such an incident?"
Gongsun Elder’s eyebrows twisted sharply, and a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes.
He pondered briefly and then his expression beca sowhat troubled as he said, "Chu, do not worry. What exactly happened? After I call the Sect Master and the various lineage heads to co over, you can explain in detail to them."
"As for your physical body, I believe that the Central Master and the various lineage heads have the ability to help you reconstruct it. You don’t need to worry about that."
Having said that, Master Gongsun’s index and middle fingers ca together, and with a light stroke towards the sky.
The next mont, above the Sect Leader’s great hall, a long and ancient sword shadow suddenly appeared, then the ancient sword shadow disintegrated, transforming into streams of light, shooting toward various places on Shuyun Mountain.
...
After a short while, inside Shushan Sect Leader’s great hall, seven Cultivators with exceedingly imposing presences were seated.
Each one of them had a long sword at their waist, so ancient, so hazy, so piercing, among others, each unique.
But one thing was the sa: at this mont, the gazes of these seven people were all fixed on the current Chu Longtian.
