Ye Yu’s sudden intervention left the entire group stunned and silent.
For a moment, no one dared to stand out or make a scene. They all obediently stayed in place.
Except for Yun Roumu, who was restless in the corner.
Among all the women present, apart from the unfamiliar Lin Miaoxue, the rest were all Ye Yu’s Dao companions, many of whom claimed to have shared an intimate connection with him. Yun Roumu alone was left as the “lone outsider.”
But Yun Roumu didn’t want it to be this way. She wanted to be Ye Yu’s Dao companion as well. To achieve that, she had to act.
After all, to be “punished” by Ye Yu was quite a reward! If Ye Yu dared to lay a hand on her, Yun Roumu would claim him as hers!
A woman’s reputation couldn’t be taken lightly. If Ye Yu dared to strike her, she would make it clear that he was now responsible for her. If he denied it, she’d go straight to the sect master, Luo Ze, to demand justice!
With this thought in mind, Yun Roumu boldly stepped forward, resembling a warrior charging into battle for love.
Her sudden move attracted curious looks from the other women, especially Tuoba Qiyue, who watched in surprise.
What exactly was the Saintess planning to do?
Before she could even open her mouth to speak, Ye Yu interrupted her. “Hold on a second!”
Those five simple words halted Yun Roumu in her tracks. The courage she’d mustered up shattered instantly.
Ye Yu didn’t bother looking at her expression but instead turned toward Lin Miaoxue.
“The fire poison in your body has seeped into your lungs. It’s a severe threat to your life. I found this Water Essence for you—it’ll help remove the fire poison. From now on, stop using that demonic weapon.”
With that, he took out the Water Essence from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Miaoxue.
Feeling the weight of the Water Essence in her hands, Lin Miaoxue was momentarily at a loss. Ever since her brother, Lin Fengyuan, had died, no one had given her anything, let alone shown any concern for her well-being.
A warm feeling surged in her heart as she sincerely said, “Thank you.”
Ye Yu shook his head lightly and transmitted a message to her through his spiritual sense: “The incident with the Ye family—it’s a deception. Keep the Wugou Sword Heart safe. I’ll explain everything once I finish my seclusion. For now, stay at Five Fingers Peak and take care of yourself.”
Hearing these words, Lin Miaoxue’s expression changed drastically. A deception? What exactly was Ye Yu implying?
Before she could ponder it further, Ye Yu moved to the center of the group of women and announced, “I need to enter seclusion for a few days. During this time, I don’t want anyone disturbing me. And if any of you dare to fight amongst yourselves again, I will not hold back in punishing you.”
With that, Ye Yu transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished, leaving the women standing there, exchanging glances.
Seclusion? Why did he suddenly decide to go into seclusion?
As Ye Yu disappeared, the binding spells on Zuo Yingchun and Li Ruowang began to dissipate, and they regained their freedom.
Ruan Lianyue, who had just descended, asked curiously, “Sisters, where did my husband go?”
Originally, she had planned to watch from the spirit boat, but Ye Yu had disappeared before returning. This made her anxious; they had just reunited, and she didn’t want to be separated from him again.
Rubbing her wrist, Zuo Yingchun replied, “He said he was going into seclusion. He didn’t go back to the spirit boat?”
“No, he didn’t!” Ruan Lianyue frowned deeply.
Tuoba Qiyue spoke solemnly, “Our husband must have gone to find a secluded place to cultivate. Since he told us not to disturb him, let’s respect his wishes and not go looking for him.”
Ruan Lianyue’s face registered surprise.
