Chapter 2143: Reunion Again

Steward Xiao didn't want to attract a crowd, glared at those disciples, and casually shut the door.

"Lingxi, this is entirely a misunderstanding.

I wasn't trying to compensate you! It's truly a misunderstanding!"

Steward Xiao repeatedly comforted Mu Lingxi.

Ye Liuyun at this moment released an invisible duplicate, measuring Steward Xiao's Divine Soul Power.

"Hmm?"

Steward Xiao immediately rushed to the spatial disturbance and looked toward Xin Hui.

"Divine Soul Power is weak, act!"

The duplicate instantly informed Ye Liuyun.

So Ye Liuyun and the duplicate jointly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, rushing into Steward Xiao's Sea of Consciousness.

Mu Lingxi was terrified, her face turning deathly pale, still thinking Ye Liuyun wasn't a match for Steward Xiao.

When Steward Xiao realized Ye Liuyun's Soul, it was already too late; Ye Liuyun and the duplicate together placed a Slave Seal, making him Ye Liuyun's slave.

Ye Liuyun immediately performed Soul Search to learn the information he knew.

It turned out this Steward Xiao was the one specifically assigned to monitor Liang Xue.

The maid Xin Hui indeed reported to him before arriving.

And this Steward Xiao was personally arranged by Elder Qingyuan, Liang Xue's master.

At the same time, Steward Xiao also knows many Ninth Layer Mid Stage Stewards and Elders.

With him, Ye Liuyun could approach others more easily.

"Heh heh, this guy is really useful!"

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected to encounter such an opportunity, catching a big fish right away.

Mu Lingxi also hadn't expected Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul Power could subdue a Ninth Layer Mid Stage Martial Cultivator like Steward Xiao.

"Is he actually at the Seventh Layer Early Stage?"

Mu Lingxi still doubted in her heart.

"Let's go! We'll return!"

Ye Liuyun withdrew the duplicate and left Mu Lingxi's room together with Steward Xiao.

"Find a way to investigate the disappearance of the previous Saintess; inform me immediately when you have news!"

Before departing, Ye Liuyun also assigned Mu Lingxi the task.

Following Steward Xiao, Ye Liuyun didn't need to show a Token and entered the inner gate directly.

"Go find a Token and bring it to me!"

Ye Liuyun sent Steward Xiao ahead to fetch a Token, while he himself rushed alone to Liang Xue's residence.

Near Liang Xue's dwelling, indeed many powerful Divine Senses were probing back and forth, and the guards were extremely tight.

Ye Liuyun also dared not release his Divine Sense, lest they detect him, and simply walked over to knock.

"Saintess, the items have been retrieved!"

Ye Liuyun mimicked Xin Hui's voice and said.

"Come in!"

Liang Xue also tried hard to suppress her excited emotions.

Because if Ye Liuyun didn't appear, she couldn't be sure whether this Xin Hui was actually Ye Liuyun.

So, when Ye Liuyun arrived, she stared at him, yet saw no flaw.

After Ye Liuyun entered the room, he immediately pulled the door shut.

Once the door closed, the outside Divine Senses could no longer probe inside.

Ye Liuyun sensed it and found that indeed no external Divine Sense was probing here.

He also sent a Transmission Voice to Liang Xue for confirmation: "Is it safe here?

Can I revert to my original form?"

Liang Xue then confirmed it was Ye Liuyun, so excited she could not speak, nodding repeatedly.

Ye Liuyun's appearance instantly shifted, then returned to his own form, smiling at Liang Xue and opening his arms.

Liang Xue immediately leapt, threw herself into Ye Liuyun's arms, hugging him tightly and couldn't help sobbing.

"You've worked hard! Sorry to have kept you waiting so long!"

Ye Liuyun stroked Liang Xue's hair, comforting her.

Liang Xue was so emotional she couldn't speak, only shook her head; after a while, once she calmed down, she finally spoke.

"I'm fine, but you—haven't you had many adventures these years?"

"I've gotten used to it!"

Ye Liuyun didn't mind, pulling Liang Xue to sit down and started chatting.

Their past experiences had mostly been shared via Transmission Talisman, so they didn't say much.

Ye Liuyun focused on the Saintess matter, reminding Liang Xue to stay vigilant.

He also gave Liang Xue an Invisibility Cloak, a set of gilded armor, and even taught her the Thousand Illusion Technique.

If danger arises, Liang Xue can escape more easily.

There were also some weapons, treasures, and resources for body and soul refinement, which he gave Liang Xue plenty of, allowing her to improve comprehensively.

Because he discovered the Spirit Clan only helped Liang Xue raise her realm, but didn't provide many treasures or weapons.

Liang Xue, after Ye Liuyun's reminder, also began to take it seriously: "Hmm, if you hadn't mentioned these, I hadn't noticed anything odd before.

Now it seems, indeed, there is something strange."

My master only had me improve my bloodline and realm; he didn't really care about anything else.

Moreover, we were never particularly close! I wish she only cared about my realm and the Spirit Clan's bloodline."

"I can't take you with me for now.

If you leave now, the Spirit Clan will surely launch a full-force attack against me.

We are not yet a match for the Spirit Clan.

By then, even if we fled, there would be nowhere to go.

So you still need to endure for a while longer.

During this time, you must be extra careful."

Ye Liuyun apologetically said to Liang Xue.

"Don't say that! You've come to the Spirit Clan this quickly and brought your forces to this extent—you've already worked hard! I know you've surely suffered a lot these years! It's all my fault for dragging you down……"

Liang Xue also felt heartbroken for Ye Liuyun.

If it weren't for her, Ye Liuyun wouldn't actually need to constantly take risks to seek rapid development.

Ye Liuyun also interrupted Liang Xue: "Alright, we're an old married couple—let's stop being polite with each other!"

"Sigh."

Liang Xue, hearing that, also sighed: "What old married couple! We two have always been together briefly and apart for long."

Liang Xue sighed about their fate, but immediately thought to ask about the important matter: "Have you recently gotten more women around you?"

"None!"

Ye Liuyun immediately said.

He had already reported the matters concerning Lin Luoyi and the others to Liang Xue via a transmission talisman.

Feng Hong Xiu isn't yet her woman; we don't know what will happen later, so it doesn't count.

"You're being honest!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun's nervous appearance, Liang Xue also laughed.

Ye Liuyun wasn't in a hurry either, preparing to spend a few more days with Liang Xue in the Spirit Clan.

These days, Liang Xue also didn't cultivate, constantly accompanying Ye Liuyun, while also having some disciples help gather information about the Spirit Clan.

Steward Xiao also sent Ye Liuyun a token.

Ye Liuyun didn't bother to ask where he got it from.

These days, the Spirit Clan has sent out a core elder, leading more than ten strong cultivators, to negotiate with Ye Liuyun.

Since Ye Liuyun is now considered to have intruded into the Spirit Clan's territory, they cannot just stand by and do nothing.

But in fact, every time Ye Liuyun steps forward, it is they who provoke or attack first.

Therefore, Ye Liuyun is in the right in every matter.

The Spirit Clan also doesn't want to go to all-out war with Ye Liuyun, so they think it's better to talk first.

Ye Liuyun's side sent out as negotiator none other than Yu Xiaofeng.

Currently, both sides are in the stage of discussing terms; it won't end temporarily, which fortunately gives Ye Liuyun and Liang Xue time to be together.
