At this time, the fairy island was shrouded in dark clouds. Apart from the brightly lit palace of Xuantai, only a few lights could be seen near the temple, while most other places were pitch black.

The two came to the temple and found the cave entrance where Long Jiaojiao was rescued. After Long Jiaojiao was rescued, the cave entrance was not blocked. Instead, the entire backyard was cordoned off to prevent people from entering or leaving.

In the temple at night, the monks had already returned to their rooms to rest. Xuantai and Mei Xichen quietly came to the cave entrance.

"Brother-in-law, wait here for me. I'll go down and take a look."

"You should be careful not to alert the enemy."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I'm not that impulsive." After saying that, Mei Xichen jumped down.

As he was afraid of being discovered by Tu Yu, Mei Xichen did not light the candle in his hand. He just walked forward step by step based on his memory at that time.

The further he went inside the cave, the narrower it became. He had no choice but to hold on to the wall and move forward slowly. The closer he got to the secret room, the more nervous Mei Xichen became.

Just at the bend of the cave entrance, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light. As he walked further in, the surroundings became brighter.

He leaned against the rock and peeked inside secretly, only to see Tu Yu sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.

Mei Xichen didn't know whether he was sleeping or practicing. After he confirmed that it was Tu Yu, he held his breath for fear of being discovered by Tu Yu.

He stared at him intently while backing away step by step. When he had retreated several dozen meters and could no longer see the light, he slowly let out a long breath.

"How's Xichen, is he here?" Xuantai pulled him up with one hand.

"Brother-in-law, Long'er is right. The Tuyu is right below." Mei Xichen nodded.

"That's good. Let's go back first and discuss with everyone how to deal with him next."

After saying that, the two of them turned and flew towards Xuantai's palace.

"You're back?" Long Jiaojiao's anxious face relaxed instantly.

"Long'er, your guess is correct. The Tuyu is inside."

After hearing what Mei Xichen said, Long Jiaojiao felt a little comforted in her panic.

"Well, since he's in there, let's find a way to catch him in the trap."

"Long'er, what you mean by catching a turtle in a jar? Do we use smoke or water to force him out? Or just let him die in there."

"Shu Rong, you are overthinking it. With Tu Yu's current level of cultivation, neither smoke nor water can force him out. Instead, it will alert the enemy. So we have to lure him out, and then we can kill him together."

"Well, what Long'er said makes sense. Then how can we lure him out?" Shu Rong asked curiously.

"Tu Yu wants my inner elixir, right? If I go, he will definitely come out, but I need Xichen to cooperate with me in acting." Long Jiaojiao answered so affirmatively that she must have come up with a good idea.

"Why is it Mei Xichen again? Shouldn't it be me?" Shu Rong was a little jealous. He glared at Mei Xichen while Mei Xichen raised his fist and looked at Shu Rong.

After several people studied how to deal with Tu Yu, it was already very late at night and they were all a little sleepy, so Xuan Tai and Bao Zi walked out of the side hall and returned to their rooms.

At this time, only Long Jiaojiao, Mei and Shu were left in the side hall.

"Aren't you going to bed yet?" Long Jiaojiao asked awkwardly.

"Long'er, who are you sleeping with tonight?" Shu Rong asked bluntly.

"I,..." Long Er felt a little embarrassed when Shu Rong asked him so directly.

"I'll just go back to my mother's room and sleep."

"Yes, that's fine."

"Mei Xichen, aren't you going to bed yet? How about I sleep with you tonight?" Shu Rong turned his head and looked at Mei Xichen.

"You're sleeping with me? Two grown men like us in the same room?" Mei Xichen's face was speechless.

"I think we should just forget it and sleep separately." Mei Xichen glanced at Shu Rong and walked out of the side hall.

"Long'er, you should also have a good rest. You still have to deal with Tu Yu tomorrow. You need to get enough rest before you can deal with him." Shu Rong walked in front of Long Jiaojiao and stared at her reluctantly.

"Shu Rong, don't go tomorrow. Just stay in your room and wait for our good news. If you are here, you will be distracted, understand?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but once you get rid of Tu Yu, you have to tell me the first time, okay? I don't want to keep myself waiting too long."

Shu Rong smoothed Long Jiaojiao's hair back to reveal a delicate oval face, which looked very rosy and plump under the candlelight.

Shu Rong couldn't help but want to kiss her cheek. At this moment, Mei Xichen came behind him silently.

He patted Shu Rong on the back.

"Mei Xichen, didn't you leave?" Shu Rong was startled by the sudden slap.

"If you don't leave, can I leave? I think what you said just now is right. It's better for the two of us to live in one room."

After saying that, Mei Xichen grabbed Shu Rong's clothes from behind with one hand and dragged him out the door.

Long Jiaojiao was immediately amused by their behavior.

"Long'er, save me, Mei Xichen wants to take revenge on me." Shu Rong shouted while looking at Long Jiaojiao. The aggrieved look in his eyes made Long Jiaojiao laugh.

"Shu Rong, don't look for Long'er for everything. It's safer for matters between us men to be resolved by the two of us. You always act pitiful in front of Long'er. She feels sorry for you, but I don't." Mei Xichen said as he dragged Shu Rong to his room.

"You sleep inside tonight and don't try to run away. If you do, I'll beat you up." Mei Xichen put down the sword in his hand and took off his coat.

"What's wrong? Are you scared? Don't worry, I won't use force on you as long as you don't run away."

"Go to sleep." Mei Xichen pulled Shurong to the bed and pushed him inside.

He didn't even take off his boots. After blowing out the candle, he quickly lay down on the bed.

"You are so good, Mei Xichen. I won't bother with you now. After I get rid of Tu Yu, I will settle the accounts between the two of us." After saying that, Shu Rong covered himself with the quilt, turned around and fell asleep.

Mei Xichen did not take Shu Rong's words to heart but was thinking carefully about whether there would be any unexpected situations when dealing with Tu Yu tomorrow and how to deal with them.

Besides, what if Shu Rong followed him? His impulsiveness would definitely cause trouble, so he thought of a way to use magic to knock Shu Rong unconscious so that he would not wake up tomorrow.

Sure enough, action is more effective than persuasion. If Long Jiaojiao told Shurong what he had done, what if Shurong didn't listen to her and really went? If he was taken hostage by Tuyu, he would have missed this great opportunity.
