Chapter Thirty-Five: Confrontation at Night

  "Take this token, if you need anything, just find the token messenger, I'll be there soon." Yun Yijian said, looking at Ye Shiyue's stunning face in the inn.

  "Ah, thank you!" Ye Zi Yue looked at Yun Di Jian's face and felt a sense of security, the kind that came from deep within her heart.

  "Don't be polite with me, I owe you a life, as long as my life isn't lost for your sake, that's what I owe you!" Yun Xie Jian said in a steady voice.

  Inside the room, an eerie silence filled the air, a tense atmosphere was spreading, Yun Yijian suddenly didn't know what to say, Yeziyue's cheeks became even more flushed.

  "Are you busy?" Ye Ziyue asked slowly after a long time.

  "Cough, no, I'm going out to buy some clothes right away. The clothes on me don't fit well and aren't my own, it always feels awkward..." Yun Ti Jian said embarrassingly.

  "Then I'll go with you!" Ye Ziyue's eyes flashed as she suddenly spoke up.

  "Alright then, I'm not very familiar with this place anyway. So, would you mind showing me the way, beautiful lady?" Yun Yijian said with a smile.

  "It's my great honor, little lady! Please follow me, Xiao Jian Ge!" The two of them let go and burst out laughing. As cultivators, they could see through each other's thoughts with just one glance, but neither of them was willing to speak up.

  The two of them were a perfect match, with the man having extraordinary talent and an overbearing attitude, while the woman had stunning beauty and a gentle heart. But Nan Gong Xue Leng was far superior to them, with an aura that seemed destined for greatness, so when Zi Yue walked alongside Yun Yi Jian that night, it gave people a sense of joy and made them sincerely admire her.

  Ye Zi Yue wore a conical hat and carried the Cloudy Sword, walking out of the inn with him. As they strolled down the main street, it seemed like they had opened up to each other, even without speaking, a single glance was enough for them to understand what the other wanted.

  Walking into a clothing store, all sorts of colorful clothes are hanging in the air, beautiful and magnificent. Some clothes are even embroidered with jewels and gold and silver, adding to their luxurious atmosphere.

  "Xiao Jian Ge, shall I help you pick out a few clothes?" Ye Zi Yue said softly.

  "No problem, you decide on the coat, I'll just go get a few undergarments." Yun Yijian said calmly, he didn't have any specific requirements for clothes, as long as they fit, and he believed that Yeziyue wouldn't choose anything too extravagant.

  With a female companion, time flies by, and the sunset arrives. The two of them walk back to the inn with big bags and small bags. Yun Yijian casually changes into a set of clothes, causing Yeziyue's eyes to widen in surprise.

  Although the clothes are simple, they are as white as snow, transcending the world, as if from a fairyland. That ethereal and otherworldly quality is always attracting Yeziyue at all times.

  "Your eyes are about to pop out, let's go, I'll send you home." Yun Qijian gently tapped Ye Ziyue's forehead and said softly.

  "Hmm!"

  Ye Zi Yue let out a soft hum, without any rebuttal, and followed Yun Tian Jian out of the city gate.

  It seems that the law enforcement officers received orders from Shi Shanquan and did not make things difficult for Yun Yijian, but even showed a hint of respect.

  Walking under the night sky, the cold wind howls, rolling up the hem of their clothes, the golden boy and jade girl walk side by side, their auras spreading out, the cold wind retreating on its own.

  Ye Zi Yue's small hand involuntarily drew closer to Yun Yi Jian, slowly grasping his sleeve, and finally wrapping around his arm as they walked together.

  At this moment, a sorrowful aura filled the air, infecting Yun Xie's sword, which gently patted her back, comforting her incessantly.

  "I wish I could fly up into the blue sky one day, gaze down at this vast land and control my own destiny!" Ye Ziyue sobbed softly.

  "What's the point of thinking so much? You're not a creature in the pool, your fate is beyond anyone's control except yours. Why bother with a small night house and Qing Shan sect! Give me a month's time, and you'll see how I'll contend with Qing Shan sect!" Yun Yijian suddenly had an urge to hold her and fly up into the sky, but ultimately suppressed this impulse deep within his heart.

  Starry light spreads, the night color is beautiful, gradually, big snow floats in the air, Yun Yijian brings the night purple moon as if flying up, borrowing the power of the branches, galloping wildly above the tree cluster, fast as lightning.

  Ye Jia's lamp was shining brightly, Ye Qing's face was slightly angry, and the other Ye Jia second-generation disciples were even more crude in their words and deeds, staring at Ye Qian crazily.

  "Rebellious child, tell me, where did you send Zǐ Yuè? Why can't I find any trace of her after searching the entire vicinity?" Yè Qīng said coldly.

  "Father, I didn't go see Ziyue at all today, how would I know where she went? You should ask the guard about this!" Ye Qing said coldly.

  "Lao San, what's your attitude? Father is speaking to you, can't you quickly let Zi Yue come out? Let her prepare for tomorrow and go to Qing Shan Zong to serve the young master!" Ye Jia Lao Da shouted in anger.

  "Come on, Third Brother, you can't give up the Night House for Zi Yue, can you? This is a great opportunity, and if you let it go, it'll be harder to find a mid-grade crystal mine in the future!" Another middle-aged man chimed in.

  Ye Qingkuang's face was slightly angry, and he didn't know how to defend himself. He personally went to see the Jingyu Stone Mine and also thought that sacrificing a Ziyue for the prosperity of Ye's family was worth it. He had never thought of sending Ziyue away, but he didn't know that his brothers didn't understand him, and even accused him one after another.

  The night house conference hall fell into a dead silence, quiet to the point of being unbearable.

  Before long, Ye Jia's old seven arrived in a hurry and swept the surroundings with his eyes, saying in a low voice, "Zi Yue wasn't taken away by San Ge. San Ge went to the Mo Jing Shi mine today and didn't go looking for Zi Yue at all. That means she left on her own. I had someone investigate and was told that a stranger came out of the back door of Ye Jia tonight, very young, with a person wearing a bamboo hat beside him. Judging by the figure, it should be a woman, probably Zi Yue!"

  "This beast, for his own damned ideals, doesn't even want the parents who gave birth to him and raised him, and even disowns his ancestors! Investigate, continue investigating for me, find that adulterous couple and execute them on the spot! No, leave Yeziyue behind, bind her up and send her to Qing Shan Sect!" Yeqing said ruthlessly.

  Inside the hall, no one dared to make a sound after Ye Qing's words. Most people looked at Ye Qian with some schadenfreude, and Ye Zi Yue had offended Ye Qing, which meant that Ye Qian's days would be absolutely terrible from now on.

  At this moment, Yun Yijian sat on the rooftop opposite the conference hall with Yeziyue, coldly observing the Night family's conference hall.

  "Is this your home at night? I really doubt if you are the real one!" Yun Xie Jian sneered, his voice condensed into a line that entered Ye Zi Yue's ears.

  Yè zǐ yuè looked at the expressions of everyone in the house, with a sad face, the big snow drifted, covering the figures of two people.

  Ye Zi Yue lay in Yun Yi Jian's arms, without opening her meridians, letting the heavy snow hit her face, her rosy and beautiful complexion turned pale.

  "You all go and investigate tonight, see where those two bastards have gone?" Ye Qing slapped the table and said coldly.

  "No need to look for it, it's right in front of you! I wonder how the old master Night Qing is going to deal with these two worthless people?" Yun Yijian slowly stood up, hugging Yeziyue, and stepped to the door of the conference hall, the snowflakes on his body falling off.

  The appearance of Yun Yijian stunned everyone, and he was ambushed at the door without anyone noticing. Ye Qing was furious, a strong practitioner in the Lian Shen realm was actually despised by a small child in the Condensed Pulse stage.

  "You beast, looking for death! And you, Yeziyue, an unmarried woman hiding in a man's arms, what a misfortune for our family! Today I will clean up the household!" Ye Qing said, and with one palm, he shattered the door and window, charging straight at Yun Yisword and the other two, as if he really wanted to kill them with one blow.

  Yè Zǐ Yuè saw it at a glance, and her face suddenly lost its beauty. She twisted her body, hoping to help Yun Tiān Jiàn block the attack. However, Yun Tiān Jiàn's expression was calm, and with a gentle movement, he raised his right hand and lightly shouted, "Flipping Heaven Palm!"

  At this moment, Yun Yijian's meridians were all opened, enveloping Yeziyue in a purple glow, fearing that the residual waves of their battle would harm the beautiful jade in her arms.

  The two men's attack caused time and space to be sealed off, the Milky Way to flow backwards, and the heavenly pulse to traverse the eight wildernesses and six harmonies, startling the Night Clan from their slumber.
