"Which faction are you from?" the Old Master continued to press, his expression serious.
"What faction?" Ye Tian tilted his head, completely unable to understand what the Old Master was saying. He had never joined a faction before, and even if he wanted to now, he hadn't had the time to do so; how could he talk about factions?
"Kid, if you don't explain yourself today, we might not end well," the Old Master stepped forward, his frail figure seeming to grow taller, and an imposing aura suddenly radiated from him.
Ye Tian frowned deeply, thinking to himself, "Could it be that I inadvertently touched on some of their taboos?"
Seeing that the Old Master seemed ready to take action, Yun'er felt anxious. She didn't know Ye Tian's strength, but she was well aware of the Old Master's capabilities. If the Old Master truly decided to go hard on Ye Tian, it would likely spell disaster for him today.
"Master, may I ask him a question?" Yun'er stepped in front of the Old Master and pointed at Ye Tian.
Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed in the Old Master's eyes. After a moment, he sighed and said, "Yun'er, you have deep enmity with Blood Sea; do not let these personal feelings ruin..."
"Master, I know my limits," Yun'er interrupted the Old Master's words and quickly walked towards Ye Tian.
At this moment, the Giant Ape had already closed the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique and transformed back into the honest-looking Middle-Aged Man from earlier.
"Little brother, just clarify things with the Master; otherwise..." The Middle-Aged Man spoke more clearly after returning to human form and hurriedly began to persuade Ye Tian.
"But what should I say?" Ye Tian felt helpless. He could tell that all three of them didn't want to harm him, but for some reason, the Old Master had to maintain an adversarial relationship with him while Yun'er and the Middle-Aged Man wanted to mediate.
However, the premise for reconciliation was for him to "confess," but Ye Tian truly didn't know what he had to confess about.
As they spoke, Yun'er had already reached Ye Tian's side and was giving him subtle signals with her beautiful eyes, urging him to follow her.
Ye Tian frowned slightly and slowly followed behind Yun'er.
The two did not walk far, just finding a place to avoid the gaze of the Old Master, and their voices likely wouldn't reach there.
Upon arriving at this spot, Yun'er was the first to stop and gaze at Ye Tian, who quickly averted his eyes from her somewhat intense stare.
"You..."
Ye Tian was about to speak when Yun'er suddenly raised a finger to her lips, smiling as she made a shushing gesture.
"What do you want?" Ye Tian asked helplessly, ignoring Yun'er.
"I want to tell you something," Yun'er tilted her head while looking at Ye Tian, her smile growing wider.
"I don't want to hear it," Ye Tian disregarded Yuner's smile and turned back toward the Forest.
Yun'er was not angry; she quickly took a couple of steps to catch up with Ye Tian, her beautiful eyes sparkling. However, she ultimately bit her lip and remained silent.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Ye Tian asked impatiently, feeling a subconscious resistance in their interaction that made him feel somewhat guilty towards Cold Frost.
Seeing this, Yun'er took a deep breath and quickly said, "I think I might like you."
"..." Ye Tian was stunned by her words and took a long time to respond, finally saying, "That's nonsense!"
Ye Tian's agitation led him to speak inappropriately. Although he had experienced many hardships throughout his life and had never panicked even in life-and-death situations, he had never had any romantic history with anyone other than Cold Frost. Therefore, being confessed to caught him completely off guard.
"What nonsense am I talking about..." Yun'er felt both helpless and wronged, with a hint of confusion.
"Forget it, forget it." Ye Tian waved his hand and steadied his mind before asking, "What are you all doing? Why are you here? Why are you disguised as performers? Why do you need to know my background?"
After finishing his barrage of questions, he looked at Yun'er, feeling no panic anymore. Based on his previous conversation with the Middle-Aged Man, he vaguely guessed that the purpose of these three was likely to assassinate a high-ranking elder of the Cloud Sea Sect. While this did not concern Ye Tian at the moment, he would likely become a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect tomorrow. As a disciple, it was only natural for him to protect his sect.
However, there is one more thing; this matter is too dangerous. If the three of them really went through with it, it would be no different from moths flying into the flame, bringing about their own demise.
Although he did not particularly like Yun'er, for some reason, he did not want to see her lose her life.
"You..."
"By the way, why were you in such pain earlier? Were you suppressing something?" Ye Tian suddenly recalled Yun'er's earlier condition and interrupted her.
Hearing this, Yun'er felt a warmth in her heart. The questions Ye Tian had asked before were all related to their purpose for this journey, and she never expected that he would actually care about her, even if this concern had no special meaning. In fact, it was just Yun'er interpreting his words as concern in her own heart.
"Um..." Yun'er bit her lip. Although she was an easygoing and cheerful girl, she couldn't help but feel a bit shy in front of someone she cared about.
"Never mind." Ye Tian thought that Yun'er did not want to answer, so he waved his hand and said, "I have matters to attend to and must leave quickly."
"Where are you going?" Yun'er asked eagerly, her tone filled with reluctance. After all, they had only met by chance; if they parted today, they might never see each other again. If they were not to meet again, Yun'er's infatuation would turn into lifelong longing, which would be incredibly painful.
"Back to the town." Ye Tian did not hide it from her. Although he vaguely sensed their intentions, he could not muster any wariness towards them in his heart.
"To Chuiyun Town?" Yun'er asked softly.
"Yes." Ye Tian nodded. Chuiyun Town was where he and Thunderstorm had stayed overnight at an inn.
"Then where do you plan to go after that?" When Yun'er asked this question, she seemed a bit fearful; she was afraid that hearing Ye Tian's answer would shatter her hopes.
"Cloud Sea Sect." Ye Tian still did not hide it from her. After saying this, he turned to Yun'er and said seriously, "I do not wish to be your enemy, but I will be entering Cloud Sea Sect tomorrow, so I advise you to give up."
"Yes! I will persuade my master to give up." Yun'er did not feel troubled by this matter; instead, she was quite happy. After saying this, she looked at Ye Tian with eyes full of affection.
Ye Tian frowned deeply. He originally wanted to say, "You shouldn't fly into the flame; even if I want to help you later on, my identity will prevent me from doing so." However, thinking it over at the last moment, he realized that saying this might lead Yun'er to misunderstand his intentions. So he changed his words on the spot but did not expect that even after speaking, there were still signs of misunderstanding from Yun'er.
"I am leaving." Ye Tian no longer hesitated and turned to walk away.
"Wait." Yun'er quickly ran a few steps to get in front of Ye Tian and said, "This is for you."
Ye Tian looked down and saw Yun'er take out a small box from the pouch at her waist. The box was very small, similar to the one Master Lei had used to release the Message Bug earlier.
"If you..." Yun'er pried open Ye Tian's palm and stuffed the small box into his hand, then shyly lowered her head, only managing to say half of her sentence.
Ye Tian understood what she meant; the Message Bug was used to convey messages between people in different locations. So Yun'er's implication was: if you think of me, occasionally let it bring me a message.
"Be careful." Ye Tian gave Yun'er a meaningful glance, reminded her softly, and then swiftly left.
Yun'er stood there in a daze. Although the words "be careful" sounded quite stiff and she knew that Ye Tian did not say them from the heart, she still felt incredibly happy. A warm current surged through her body, filling her with a feeling called happiness.
Ye Tian's figure quickly disappeared into the jungle, and Yun'er only returned after that silhouette completely vanished from her sight.
After seeing Old Master, Yun'er lowered her head and remained silent.
"Let's go." Old Master did not blame her but sighed and turned to leave.
"Master." Yun'er suddenly called out to him.
Old Master turned back upon hearing this, seemingly having guessed what Yun'er wanted to say next, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"Master, I don't want revenge; I want..."
"Shut up!" Old Master shouted angrily, glaring at Yun'er. "Isn't the revenge for your father's murder worth more than a mere boy you barely know?!"
"Master, since I can remember, I have never seen that so-called father. I have no feelings for him at all! In my heart, I have always been someone without a father!" Yun'er looked directly at Old Master, her tone very agitated.
"You're a worthless thing!" the Old Master raised his hand as if to strike.
"Master, please calm down!" the Middle-Aged Man hurriedly stepped forward to hold back the Old Master, repeatedly trying to soothe him.
"Master, why must you drag me into his hatred? Is it just because you two are good brothers?" Yun'er’s voice was icy. She did not know when her father had died; all she knew was that five years ago, her mother had suddenly handed her over to the Master, and since then, it had been endless days and nights of hard training. The reason was to take revenge on a father she had never met.
"Exactly! It is because we are good brothers that I must help him fulfill his wish. I not only want you to help him take revenge, but I also want to train you to become the first assassin of the Dark Dragon!" The Old Master's tone was stern, carrying an undeniable weight.
"I don't want to! I don't want to be an assassin!" Yun'er shouted, shaking her head. For the past five years, she had been tormented every seven days by the powerful force within her. The suffering was unbearable; the Master said she would soon be able to control it, but she understood very well that for someone with such a weak foundation as hers, digesting the blood of the Azure Ice Fox was not something so easily accomplished.
Of course, this was not the main reason for her refusal to go against the Master's wishes. Until then, she had never considered such a thought, but everything changed when she met Ye Tian.
Between a father who had never fulfilled his responsibilities and the one she loved, Yun'er chose the latter without hesitation.
"A girl should not be kept at home!" The Old Master sighed, but after a moment, his tone suddenly turned fierce.
"The next time we meet, I will definitely kill him to sever your feelings!"
