"Don't worry, you know him. He always manages to shock people out of their wits at the last moment," Xing Wu said with a faint smile, looking at Ye Yun.
"However, if you're going, I'll go with you," she added.
While she trusted Ye Yun's abilities, she felt uneasy just waiting around.
Her words made Ye Yun pause. "Ah? If you go, what about Tian Yu?"
It wasn't that he thought taking her along would be risky; he could always pull her into the Master-Disciple Space as a failsafe. The key issue was the defense of Tian Yu. The most crucial formations required Xing Wu's manipulation. If she left, Tian Yu's defenses would likely be significantly weakened.
At this moment, Feng Qingxian, standing nearby, paused and then chuckled. "As for that, leave Tian Yu's defenses to me. Xing Wu has already granted me control over the formations. Although my power will be somewhat weaker, it's still enough to contend with opponents at the Heavenly God level and above. Let her go with you; consider it their honeymoon after the wedding."
She was quite understanding, even coming up with such a phrase. After all, in her eyes, Ye Yun and Xing Wu were the saviors of Tian Yu. Having contributed so much, it was only right to grant them some time together.
Ye Yun scratched his head and asked Xing Wu, "Is this really okay?"
Hearing this, Xing Wu raised an eyebrow and huffed, "What, you don't want me to go?" She then put on a mournful expression and shook her head. "Indeed, men are all fickle. After being together for a long time, affection wanes."
"I didn't mean that," Ye Yun shook his head, explaining helplessly. "I just need to warn you beforehand, this trip might be quite dangerous…"
Before he could finish, Xing Wu interrupted him, laughing nonchalantly. "Dangerous? So what if it's dangerous? At worst, we'll die together, a legendary tale for eternity!"
"..." Ye Yun was speechless. He looked at her with great frustration and sighed, "Can we not start with such inauspicious words?"
After some internal deliberation, he finally nodded and agreed to her proposal. "Alright then, we'll go together." He had initially thought the trip might take a considerable amount of time. Without his wife Xing Wu by his side, wouldn't many nights be lonely? Now, with her accompanying him, they could communicate whenever they pleased.
Xing Wu nodded with satisfaction. "Then it's settled. I'll go familiarize Qingxian with the formations first. You should go prepare as well."
"No problem, I'll go tell Xueyan and the others." After all, it was they who would be participating, so they needed to be informed first. Though he could already imagine their reactions.
On Qingyun Peak.
Ye Yun returned in an instant and found Lin Xueyan and the others, explaining the situation. "In short, that's the plan. I want to take you all out to broaden your horizons, but there are considerable risks. Do you want to come along?"
Unsurprisingly, Lin Xueyan and the others paid no mind to the risks he mentioned. Fang Zhiwei, in particular, perked up at the mention of going out and excitedly exclaimed, "Yay yay! Then let's set off soon!" What danger? As long as their Master was by their side, they wouldn't fear a trip to the gates of hell.
Lin Xueyan also happily chimed in, "The Myriad Realms Selection! There should be many geniuses. We can bring glory to Master again!" After all, the more outstandingly they performed, the more face their Master would have.
Seeing their eagerness, Ye Yun smiled and nodded. "Since everyone agrees, we'll all go. We'll likely depart tomorrow." According to the marked star chart, their destination, Tianlan Domain, was still quite far. It was safer to set off in advance.
Just then, Xing Meng also joined them, looking excited. "You're going out? I want to go with you too!"
"Uh, this…" Seeing her also wanting to go, Ye Yun hesitated. However, looking at her expectant eyes, Ye Yun admitted he was defeated… "Sigh, fine." Along the way, their strength could improve further. If any real danger arose, he would have some ability to protect her.
Seeing him agree, Xing Meng was overjoyed. She patted his shoulder and chuckled, "At least you have some conscience. If you miss that old guy later, you can look at me more."
"..." Ye Yun's mouth twitched at her covetous gaze, instantly understanding her ulterior motive. He then said rather heartlessly, "Oh right, Wife Xing Wu will also be going with us."
"Ah? Then what about Tian Yu?"
"Qingxian is handling it."
"..." Xing Meng froze, then said dejectedly, "That guy is going too? How boring… truly boring…" She had originally planned to subtly flirt with Ye Yun and deepen their understanding while that old guy was away. It seemed that plan was ruined…
Seeing her disappointed expression, Ye Yun sighed inwardly. It seemed he was quite a hot commodity in their eyes. Should he just take them all? Ye Yun even entertained the thought, but considering his delicate waist, he decided it was best to just think about it…
"Right, if we're all leaving, what about that one person?" Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up.
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. "That person?"
"Song Ziyue. Are we taking her too?"
"Uh, I almost forgot." Ye Yun smacked his forehead. He was so focused on his disciples that he almost forgot about that troublesome individual. Recently, Song Ziyue seemed to have regained some memories and wasn't constantly clinging to him, instead wandering around Tian Yu. Ultimately, she was a Main God-level expert, and potentially a bad one. Ye Yun couldn't feel at ease leaving her in Tian Yu; he had to keep her by his side…
Ye Yun quickly found her. After stating his intentions, Song Ziyue pondered for a moment. "Myriad Realms Selection?" she murmured. Then, she smiled brightly. "Of course, I'd love to go with you to see!"
"Good, then prepare yourselves. We depart tomorrow." Ye Yun finished giving instructions and left.
Not long after he left, the seemingly innocent Song Ziyue revealed a sinister smile. If Ye Yun were still there, he would likely be shocked by the cold and suppressed aura radiating from her. This was not merely due to her strength, but also a significant portion stemmed from the oppressive aura of her demeanor.
"Myriad Realms Selection, what an interesting event…" She was very interested, but the key was that she could use this opportunity to learn more about Ye Yun…
