Chapter 1219: Heroic Rescue of a Beauty

Just as he hesitated, the Martial Cultivator's snarling face in front of her suddenly froze, and it did not move toward her.

She instinctively stepped back, and only then noticed a large hole in the Martial Cultivator's body.

Through that hole, her blue eyes saw someone behind the Martial Cultivator, but the figure moved too quickly and vanished immediately.

The Martial Cultivator's expression at this moment changed from ferocious to shocked.

But then its breathing ceased, and it slowly fell down.

Yun Mengyi looked around, trying to find who had saved her.

Ye Liuyun waited a while, saw that she had no intention of leaving, and then used Transmission Voice to urge her: "You should go! Do you still want to collect his corpse?"

"Is it really you? You saved me?" Yun Mengyi, upon hearing Ye Liuyun's voice, immediately asked joyfully.

"Nonsense! I didn't save you; do you think the heavens intervened? Get on with the real business!" Ye Liuyun urged impatiently.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind this side episode much. But in Yun Mengyi's heart, this was a hero rescuing a beauty!

Many legendary tales contain this trope. Yun Mengyi began to let her imagination run wild.

She had previously been inexperienced and overly naive, and her understanding of the outside world was mostly through imagination.

"How did you save me? Can you defeat a Tianzun Realm strongman?"

Yun Mengyi was obedient and immediately turned back, but as she walked, she kept asking questions.

"I have a Tianzun Realm ferocious beast with me. Don't worry about anything else; focus on your own affairs and watch the road! If danger appears again, I might not be able to save you!"

Ye Liuyun, helpless, resorted to frightening her. Only then did Yun Mengyi stop nagging and concentrate on the journey.

But before he approached the Yun Clan, he still asked Ye Liuyun: "Will you go in with me, or wait outside?"

"I cannot go inside, nor can I wait near the Yun Clan for fear of being discovered. I am only escorting you home. After you reach home, I will return to the spot where we part and wait for you."

After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he saw Yun Mengyi enter the Yun Clan's main gate and immediately turned and left.

Yun Mengyi felt a bit disappointed. However, her appearance instantly caused a stir in the Yun Clan. Everyone came over to ask her about the situation.

But Yun Mengyi still thought of Ye Liuyun's rescue, so she made minor alterations to the story she and Ye Liuyun had previously prepared, changing the bandit's image into the Martial Cultivator encountered on the road.

Moreover, because she now had personal experience, some parts were described with vivid accuracy.

This made the Yun Clan's Elders temporarily believe her.

Ye Liuyun, having a Divine Soul Contract with her, immediately knew she had altered the original plan.

"Damned it!"

Ye Liuyun muttered under his breath and hurried back at once.

Fortunately, the road was sparsely populated, and no one noticed the Martial Cultivator's corpse; when Ye Liuyun returned, the body was still there.

Ye Liuyun removed his Storage Ring, then burned the corpse to ash, leaving no evidence, and further cleared the scene so no trace remained, before returning to the Cave.

Outside the Cave, he had already set up the arrangement, awaiting the Yun Clan's inspection. Now he needed to modify it according to the new plot Yun Mengyi fabricated.

He could not stay in this Cave for long. If any Yun Clan member saw through the Formation, or the blue-eyed Yun Mengxiong came to investigate, he would be exposed.

Thus, after erasing all traces, he left from a distance, using Divine Sense to monitor the situation.

Sure enough, not long after Ye Liuyun left, a large group of Elders from the Yun Clan, bringing Yun Mengyi, came here to investigate.

At this moment, Yun Mengyi realized that some details she mentioned differed from what Ye Liuyun had previously agreed upon.

She then began to worry, and her expression immediately became uneasy.

Yun Mengxiong, who also had a pair of blue eyes, was also in the party.

As the Clan Chief's only daughter, Yun Mengyi was the biggest obstacle to Yun Mengxiong becoming the Yun Clan's next successor, so he kept watching her actions.

Yun Mengyi's earlier description was generally acceptable and didn't seem like a lie.

But Yun Mengyi's behavior along the way revealed inconsistencies.

"Cousin, you aren't lying to the family, are you?" Yun Mengxiong deliberately probed Yun Mengyi.

"I didn't!" Yun Mengyi, though stubborn, felt very uneasy, so this time her words lacked any force.

Seeing her expression, Yun Mengxiong became even more certain she was lying!

"Cousin, if you tell me the truth, I can still help you when the Elders ask," Yun Mengxiong coaxed.

"I don't need your meddling!" Yun Mengyi, knowing Yun Mengxiong never had good intentions, ignored him.

She was now using the Divine Soul Contract to summon Ye Liuyun, asking him what to do.

Seeing they were about to reach the spot where the Martial Cultivator was killed, she feared being exposed.

That Martial Cultivator had a large hole gouged by a ferocious beast, not killed by Ye Liuyun. The Yun Clan's Elders would surely notice.

"Don't worry, I've already re‑handled the scene as you instructed! The Martial Cultivator's corpse has also been taken care of!" Ye Liuyun replied.

Yun Mengyi finally exhaled in relief, a smile appearing on her face, secretly admiring Ye Liuyun as if he could foresee everything.

Ye Liuyun's image grew even more towering in her heart.

Although Ye Liuyun had previously kidnapped her, he did nothing harmful and even treated her to a barbecue.

And Ye Liuyun's barbecue skills were indeed excellent!

Yun Mengyi's sudden change of expression also alerted Yun Mengxiong.

But he could not guess what Yun Mengyi was thinking.

"Hmph, if you get exposed later, I'll see if you can still be smug!" he thought to himself.

Passing the spot where the Martial Cultivator was killed, Yun Mengyi saw the scene had indeed been dealt with, and felt even more at ease.

Later she led the Yun Clan's Elders to the site Ye Liuyun had pre‑arranged, to verify it.

The Yun Clan dispatched so many people out of concern that the bandit might have accomplices, not because they doubted Yun Mengyi.

Nevertheless, a thorough search was still necessary.

When an Elder searched the Cave where Ye Liuyun was staying, Yun Mengyi involuntarily grew nervous again.

After inspecting, Yun Mengxiong also found no flaws.

But he is certain that Yun Mengyi had been inexplicably nervous before, definitely lying, so now he is not watching the scene but is watching Yun Mengyi's expression.

Seeing Yun Mengyi nervously look toward the direction an Elder had searched earlier, he also walked over, using his blue eyes to search carefully.

When Yun Mengxiong passed by, Yun Mengyi became even more nervous.

Their hands clenched tightly together, afraid that Ye Liuyun would be discovered by them.

"Cousin, you seem especially nervous," Yun Mengxiong said loudly on purpose, so that everyone could hear.
