Ye Yun was somewhat surprised.
"Oh? Did your senior sisters tell you?"
"No, Disciple guessed it."
Fang Zhiwei placed her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.
"The encyclopedia on normal ascenders includes descriptions of the sisters on Chaofeng Mountain, and you not knowing them suggests you didn't come through the proper channels."
"Also, illegal ascenders are rare, and you came from the direction of Yuanyi City, so you must be one of the illegal ascenders who had a high probability there recently."
"And with the prophecy from the Divine Hall now, if you ascended at this time, you'd definitely be someone the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall would hunt!"
Of course, at this point, she was mostly guessing and didn't dare to be one hundred percent certain, but it was enough.
Ye Yun nodded appreciatively after listening and said, "You little girl are quite smart."
"That's absolutely true."
Fang Zhiwei giggled, "And you actually don't know about me."
"You? Aren't you the daughter of the Astrology Sect Master?"
"See, you really don't know."
Fang Zhiwei tilted her head up, "Hmph, hmph, I have a well-known nickname in the Heavenly Domain."
"What?"
"The Arrogant Little Demoness."
Ye Yun was slightly stunned and chuckled, "I didn't see that coming. So, that arrogant young lady demeanor you had just now is your true nature?"
"Not really."
Fang Zhiwei scratched her head, "I just disliked those people, so I didn't want to reason with them. It was just a little bit of arrogance occasionally."
"Really, just a little?"
"Really!"
Fang Zhiwei extended her finger and smiled, comparing her thumb and forefinger.
"Just a tiny bit!"
However, after spending some time together, he hadn't really felt her arrogance, and she had even acted very courteously when interacting with his senior sisters.
Ye Yun sighed, "Since you know all this, why are you still willing to take me as your master? Aren't you afraid of facing a life-or-death crisis?"
"I already said, I yearn for this feeling. How romantic is that?"
Fang Zhiwei grabbed his arm, looked up, and smiled with anticipation, "Master and disciple, together against the entire world. Ah… it sounds so romantic just thinking about it."
Looking at her innocent smile, Ye Yun smiled helplessly.
"Alright, as long as you don't regret it."
"I'll never regret it. It's just death, after all. I'm not afraid of dying, only of dying meaninglessly."
Fang Zhiwei giggled, "Even if I do die, Disciple wants to die in Master's arms, disappearing romantically!"
She said this with a cheerful expression, while Ye Yun covered his forehead.
Alright, he was certain now. This was a fantasy version of a chuunibyo girl.
"Enough, stop thinking nonsense. The teleportation array is about to activate."
Ye Yun shook his head, his gaze sweeping around.
The teleportation array in Tianzhou was now emitting a golden light, a clear sign that the array was activating.
The over a hundred people waiting in the array held their breath.
As golden spatial energy filled the array, Ye Yun felt his body and soul falling infinitely, falling…
…
Not long after Ye Yun and Fang Zhiwei left via teleportation.
The Astrology Immortal Sect in Xinghui Tianzhou also received this news.
In the Sect Master's Hall, Sect Master Fang Wanqiu of the Astrology Sect, clad in white robes, sat high on her throne, listening to an elder's report.
"Sect Master, we have news of Miss's whereabouts. Not long ago, she passed through the Tianzhou teleportation array in Beifeng Tiancheng."
"However, it seems she has a master by her side, who appears to be a True Saint realm cultivator."
"They passed through the Tianzhou teleportation array together, likely heading towards Chaofeng Mountain…"
Fang Wanqiu's brows furrowed, and she let out a cold snort.
"Continue to dispatch more personnel. We must find the girl's exact location and bring her back to get married, no matter what!"
Hearing this, the elder paused, then sighed and asked.
"Sect Master, do you truly intend to make Miss marry someone she dislikes?"
"So what?"
Fang Wanqiu lowered her gaze and said in a deep voice, "Am I doing all this for myself? Isn't it all for her own good?"
"Now that the prophesied person has appeared, the Sword Emperor of the Night, Xingwu, has reappeared in the Heavenly Domain, and the Nightfall is also reviving. A chaotic era is about to begin…"
"And according to my divination, Zhiwei's most stable destiny line is to remain in this Immortal Sect and marry her cousin."
At this, the elder could only sigh helplessly.
"Then, Sect Master, what if the master by her side obstructs us?"
"Bring her away. No need to kill."
"Understood. I will make the arrangements now."
The elder sighed and quietly exited the Sect Master's Hall.
Fang Wanqiu looked at the empty hall and couldn't help but heave a sigh.
"Don't blame me, this is all for your own good…"
To her, her daughter's so-called likes and dislikes were unimportant. As a mother, what she cared about most was always only one thing.
It was whether her daughter was on the right path. According to her divination, marrying her cousin was the way to a lifetime of stability.
For this, she was willing to spare no effort.
…
Xuefeng Tianzhou, this is the territory led by Chaofeng Mountain.
After leaving the Tianzhou teleportation array, Ye Yun took Xiao Xue directly towards Chaofeng Mountain.
Two days later, they arrived at their destination.
"Wow, this is Chaofeng Mountain! It's so beautiful!"
In the sky, Fang Zhiwei looked at the scenery below with astonishment.
Ye Yun also leaned forward and looked at the peaks, equally impressed.
"It truly is a beautiful place…"
An endless expanse of dazzling crimson filled their entire vision.
Red maple trees, about a hundred zhang tall, formed an ocean, spread across the mountains.
Crimson fiery maple leaves drifted down from the canopies in the autumn wind, filling every patch of ground.
Clear rivers reflected the crimson of the maple leaves, flowing between the mountains.
In this brilliant crimson landscape, Ye Yun felt as if he were in a dream world.
"If one could settle down here, it would indeed be a beautiful thing…"
Just as Ye Yun and Fang Zhiwei were immersed in the breathtaking scenery,
Two figures flew from afar. One was a female guard dressed in red armor.
Her cultivation was that of a Profound Immortal, and even in her armor, her beautiful appearance and ethereal temperament were undeniable.
"What business do you two have here at our Chaofeng Mountain?"
In fact, Chaofeng Mountain had always prohibited outsiders from entering, which was why Fang Zhiwei had always wanted to come but had never succeeded.
The female guard observed Ye Yun and the other with vigilance in her eyes.
Hearing this, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and said.
"Miss, please inform your Empress that I have an important matter to discuss with her."
"What important matter?"
Ye Yun frowned slightly.
"This… is inconvenient to say."
After all, it concerned Xingwu, and he didn't want unrelated people to know, to avoid any problems.
Unexpectedly.
After hearing his reply, the female guard rolled her eyes at him and said.
"Hmph, another one. That excuse is getting really old, you know?"
