Chapter 210: Stubbornly Devoted

Ye Liuyun felt a bit anxious and rushed over to rescue Wu Qingcheng.

"Tell me the location of Luo Feng Mountain."

He only hoped he was still in time, and that Wu Qingcheng was still alive.

He then assigned Bai Hu and Shi Yuan to guard Lin Xueying and Yu Er, while he took Lei Ming and Qiong Qi to find Wu Qingcheng.

Luo Feng Mountain was not far from the county town, so Ye Liuyun rode Qiong Qi straight there and arrived quickly. He then released his Divine Sense, searched the whole range, and soon spotted Wu Qingcheng.

Wu Qingcheng's condition at that moment was extremely poor.

Her whole body's Qi was very weak, she was severely wounded, and surrounding her were three Black-clothed assassins of the Sea Transformation realm.

One of the men snorted coldly, "Wu Qingcheng, I'll give you one more chance. Agree to me, and you can live! Otherwise, it's a dead end!"

"If you want to kill me, then kill me! I've told you a hundred times, I won't change my mind!" Wu Qingcheng said weakly.

"That bastard named Ye Liuyun was only joking with you, and you took it seriously? I'm the only one who truly cares for you. You know, I refrained from removing your veil out of respect," the man roared.

"I know you too well! You're not acting out of respect; you're proud, waiting for me to remove the veil myself and come to you," Wu Qingcheng said feebly.

"What's so good about that kid? Did he ever come back looking for you? Maybe he already forgot you!" the man said resentfully.

"He doesn't even know the oath I made, so he would never come back for me! That's better; my status doesn't match his! Perhaps that's my fate!" Wu Qingcheng said sadly.

"Then why are you so steadfastly waiting for him? For what? What am I lacking compared to him?" the man asked, puzzled.

Wu Qingcheng gave a bitter smile and said sadly, "I don't know why, I just can't forget him. Even if I never see him again, my heart can't make room for anyone else! You don't need to waste words, just give me a quick end! So I won't suffer the torment of longing for him every day!"

"Alas! Why are you doing this to yourself!" Ye Liuyun let out a long sigh upon hearing it.

Although he had just arrived, his Divine Sense already understood everything clearly.

When he first removed Wu Qingcheng's veil, it was solely to retaliate for her stabbing him once, just a joke, he didn't take it to heart, never expecting Wu Qingcheng to be so infatuated.

For someone as emotionally dull as Ye Liuyun, it undoubtedly gave him a massive headache, and for a moment he didn't know how to face Wu Qingcheng.

But he would definitely still rescue her.

When Ye Liuyun suddenly spoke, the assassins were all startled.

Wu Qingcheng, who had been leaning against a tree, sat up sharply upon hearing the voice.

"Is it you?" she asked tremblingly.

Ye Liuyun's figure flashed beside her.

"It's me!"

Ye Liuyun replied, quickly took a Healing Elixir, and slipped it into her mouth from beneath the veil.

"If I hadn't happened to pass by again today, you would have died here!" Ye Liuyun smiled and comforted her.

Wu Qingcheng blinked in disbelief, finally confirming it was Ye Liuyun, let out a "Wah" cry, and threw herself into his arms.

Ye Liuyun also held her in his arms, preparing to take her back for treatment.

"You are that Ye Liuyun?" the Black-clothed man who had spoken earlier asked viciously.

"It's me. I've been so busy lately I forgot to go settle accounts with Dark Night Hall, didn't expect to run into you again! What a coincidence!" Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow, looking at the man.

"Hmph! Just you? It's perfect—I'll kill you today and make Wu Qingcheng completely give up!"

As he said so, he waved his hand, and the other two Black-clothed persons immediately charged.

Ye Liuyun merely glanced at them, and the two fell to the ground, their souls devoured by him.

Then Ye Liuyun turned to the Black-clothed man, began a Soul Search, obtained Dark Night Hall's location and other data, and directly devoured his soul as well. He then sent Qiong Qi to bring them back to Shuiyue Tower.

During that time, Wu Qingcheng paid no attention to what was happening around her, just clutching Ye Liuyun's neck tightly, nesting in his arms.

Seeing her severe injuries, Ye Liuyun could only let her be for now. He would first take her back and heal her before anything else.

The proprietor of Shuiyue Tower and Shen Bing, upon seeing Ye Liuyun bring Wu Qingcheng back so quickly, were somewhat surprised.

Wu Qingcheng was indeed lucky, actually being rescued by Ye Liuyun.

They both watched the two of them curiously, wanting to see how they would develop later.

Ye Liuyun immediately let Wu Qingcheng stay at his residence, arranging Ru Yue to take good care of her.

He, meanwhile, soaked in the courtyard hot spring, discussing with Lei Ming, who had transformed into human form, how to handle Wu Qingcheng thereafter.

Lei Ming is a monster beast; regarding the several women pursuing Ye Liuyun, she isn't very concerned, just a bit jealous, with no real grievance.

Wu Qingcheng's words spoken on Luo Feng Mountain were also heard by her. So she advised Ye Liuyun to take Wu Qingcheng in.

But Ye Liuyun always felt it was inappropriate. He still had a long road ahead and couldn't stay here forever. If he took Wu Qingcheng in, and he suffered a mishap midway, wouldn't that delay her!

Finally, Lei Ming said, "I think you should be honest with her. Isn't it better to let her choose for herself?"

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and also felt it was better to discuss openly.

The pill Ye Liuyun gave Wu Qingcheng contained sacred medicine, acting very quickly. Wu Qingcheng could soon get up.

Although she still couldn't fight, walking and speaking were no longer hindered.

Eager to see Ye Liuyun, she walked straight into the courtyard. Seeing Ye Liuyun soaking in the pool with the girl she had met last time, she didn't know what to do.

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected her to emerge so quickly either, and felt extremely awkward.

Lei Ming, on the other hand, was unfazed, took a piece of clothing, draped it on, and walked over to pull Wu Qingcheng to the hot spring side.

"You two chat slowly, I'll go check on Sister Xueying!"

After speaking, she transformed into a Thunder Dragon pet form, leapt out of the courtyard, and went to find Lin Xueying.

"Huh? She is..." Wu Qingcheng looked at Ye Liuyun with surprise.

Ye Liuyun nodded and explained, "She is the monster beast by my side. When she's alone with me, she doesn't really like wearing clothes. I told her, and she hasn't changed! Sorry for making you look foolish!"

Wu Qingcheng shook her head. "I already saw her last time. So even if she's your woman, I don't mind!"

"Is that vow of yours about removing the veil true?" Ye Liuyun asked Wu Qingcheng directly, without beating around the bush.

"Mm!" Wu Qingcheng nodded, saying nothing more.

She originally didn't want to tell Ye Liuyun. After thinking he had left last time, she believed they would never meet again. At that moment she was resentful about her assassin identity, feeling unworthy of Ye Liuyun.

But after seeing him this time, she could no longer bear to leave Ye Liuyun. So she nodded and admitted it.

But she also didn't want to make Ye Liuyun embarrassed, so she added: "However, that oath was mine; it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to keep it."

Ye Liuyun's mind was also in turmoil at this moment, but he was not the kind of irresponsible person.

So he gathered his courage and told Wu Qingcheng about his parents and his young aunt, as well as the path he would take in the future.

"I am destined not to stay here forever, and there are too many unknown dangers ahead. So I dare not promise you anything. If you want to follow me, once I finish my affairs, I will naturally not let you down. If you don't want to wait, I think you don't need to be bound by an oath; you can pursue your happiness. What do you think?"
