237. Prepare to depart

Dusk rose from the valley, and the setting sun fell into the clouds like a gilded furnace, and the ember-like halo still flickered deep in the clouds.

Ye Zizhen slowly woke up and opened her emerald green eyes. There was still a hint of confusion and ignorance in her eyes. She raised her head slightly and straightened her body. Her eyes gradually focused and she began to look around.

The first thing she saw was Lin Ji, who was immersed in cultivation beside her. Then she immediately remembered what had happened before and quickly shifted her gaze to Ruoye, who was unconscious on the bed.

After hearing the other person's breathing become steady, Ye Zizhen's heart relaxed. Dementia and amnesia didn't matter. As long as he wasn't dead, there was still a chance to return to normal.

Not wanting to disturb Lin Ji, she tiptoed up from the sofa without making any sound, slowly walked to the bed, quietly looked at Ruo Ye's current condition, and sighed silently.

Lin Ji, who was practicing on the sofa, noticed the moment Ye Zizhen woke up, but he did not disturb the two of them. Instead, he continued practicing for an hour. Seeing that Ye Zizhen was still sitting there quietly, he opened his eyes and spoke with a helpless expression.

"Zi Xin, what's the point of you sitting here like this?"

The sudden words awakened Ye Zizhen who was in a trance. She looked back and saw that Lin Ji had come out of his cultivation state. She rubbed her eyes and spoke softly.

"Brother, I just don't know what else to do."

There was a hint of helplessness and confusion in his voice. Lin Ji stood up, walked to her side, and looked down at Ruoye lying on the bed.

"Her soul was severely damaged. I have given her a pill to heal her soul. The most important thing now is to let her rest and recover."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zizhen bit her lip, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.

"But...what should I do if she doesn't remember anything after she wakes up, or even becomes demented?"

"Zi Xin, with your current status, even if Ruo Ye is unable to take care of herself in the future, you can easily take care of her. You just need to continue to practice and improve your strength, extend her life, and stay with her occasionally."

Lin Ji gently stroked the dull golden hair. It was not a bad thing for Ye Zi to be sentimental. Anyway, he had Ruo Ye completely under his control, and even the enemy could not cause any trouble.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zizhen lowered his head and responded softly.

"I understand. Let me stay for a while. I will go to practice later."

"As long as you know."

Seeing this, Lin Ji did not try to persuade him any further. He turned around and left. He used his spiritual sense to remotely tell Ye Wanjun to pay more attention to Ruo Ye's movements, and then returned to his room to continue practicing.

……

Half a month has passed in a flash.

On the streets of Hongxia City, the hustle and bustle of the past seemed to have been quietly paused by an invisible hand. People were walking in a hurry, with uneasiness and anxiety written all over their faces. Even though the Ye family had repeatedly assured that they would protect the safety of the city, the effect was far from satisfactory.

At the early morning market, the scenes of people arguing fiercely for cheaper prices in the past are no longer seen. Instead, people are quickly purchasing daily necessities. The whole city seems to be shrouded in a dark cloud. People are waiting in fear and anxiety, not knowing what will be waiting for them tomorrow.

Ye Wanjun strolled through the market. He had just said goodbye to Cai Shan at home and was now going to find Senior Yue Shanwu with Daozi's mission.

He was not used to Shui Lanxing's modern clothes and was still wearing Xuantian Sect's uniform, which attracted passers-by to stare and avoid him, with a mixture of longing and fear in their eyes.

The people from the Xuantian Empire have been here for some time. The novelty of the Blue Water Planet has gradually faded, and what followed was the arrogance that could not be concealed, especially among the foundation-building cultivators.

The local residents are all looked at with a hint of contempt, and only warriors and some scientists can make them restrain themselves and treat them equally. This is one of the reasons why the atmosphere in Hongxia City is now depressing.

Thinking of this, Ye Wanjun sighed helplessly in his heart. This kind of mentality is very difficult to change, at least he has no way to do it. However, this is not his business, so let Daozi worry about it.

After walking for a while, Ye Wanjun arrived at the Adventurer's Guild Hall. Compared to the scene when he first saw it, it was much quieter here. There were about a dozen warriors and martial artists talking to the service staff at the counter to take tasks.

At a round table on the right side of the hall sat two ninth-level Qi training monks, who were sent to guard and maintain order. At this moment, they were flipping through their phones out of boredom. When they noticed Ye Wanjun's arrival, they all stood up and walked over.

"Hello, Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Wanjun nodded, glanced at the two monks, and then turned towards the meeting room.

"Just keep busy, don't worry about me."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the back of the hall. The two monks looked at each other, returned to their seats, and whispered something. Ye Wanjun ignored them, walked straight through the hall, pushed open a heavy wooden door, and entered the meeting room inside.

The meeting room was dimly lit and the air was filled with the smell of old wood. Yue Shanwu was sitting at a long table, holding a document in his hand with a frown on his face. When he heard the door open, he looked up and saw that it was Ye Wanjun. His expression eased slightly.

"coming?"

Yue Shanwu put the document down, motioned Ye Wanjun to sit down, and then asked.

"I have already handed over the work on hand to Ouyang. It is said that Ouyang and I were supposed to go there, but you volunteered, so you took Ouyang's place? And what is the task that Daozi assigned to us?"

Ye Wanjun nodded, sat down in the chair opposite him, and said in a deep voice.

"I asked Daozi for help. I feel too comfortable here, so I want to go out and gain experience. As for the mission, I will investigate the situation of the Miasma Moon Abyss with my own safety as the first priority."

"Miasma Moon Abyss?"

Yue Shanwu raised his eyebrows and tapped his fingers on the table, making a slight sound.

"That place is not simple. According to the information collected by Ouyang, even the Martial Saint would not dare to set foot there easily."

"That's why we need to find out what the Saint's plan is."

Ye Wanjun crossed his hands on the table, a solemn look in his eyes. During this period, Ouyang Yun and Zhu Lin interrogated many people, but the specific information about the Miasma Moon Abyss was still not clear. They only knew its approximate location. The reason for its birth was related to Yan Ji, and it was very dangerous.

"We really need to understand. According to Daozi, he is only slightly stronger than the Saint Girl at the moment. The gap is not that big. If there is someone stronger, then the real person will have to take action."

Yue Shanwu thought of Lin Ji's description of the last battle, his expression became serious, and then he asked again.

"When will we leave?"

"Michiko asked us to leave at noon today. He has something to give us. Besides, the Miasma Moon Abyss is on the west side of Mount Kairien. It's a bit far, so there's no rush."

Ye Wanjun told Daozi the message, and Yue Shanwu nodded without asking any further questions.
