After the burial of Uncle Zhu, it was already late at night. Ye Tian and the others were resting together in Uncle Zhu's thatched cottage due to the special circumstances. Fang Xiong mentioned he had other matters to attend to, said his goodbyes to everyone, and then spoke privately with Yun'er for a moment before leaving.
Yun'er had promised Fang Xiong that she would visit their master at an appropriate time, but she knew she couldn't go for the upcoming birthday in three days. The reason was simple: Ye Tian would likely take action in the next few days, and Yun'er wanted to help him, even though Ye Tian was reluctant to let her get involved.
Additionally, Yun'er firmly believed that Ye Tian could help her find the medicinal ingredients her master needed. If she could present this as a gift when they met, it would surely enhance her master's impression of Ye Tian.
With this thought in mind, Yun'er felt a surge of eagerness and wished she could accompany Ye Tian immediately to eliminate the enemy named Wang Weiyang and rescue her rival, Cold Frost. This would allow them to make a substantial decision about their relationship. Yun'er was confident that Ye Tian would never betray her sincere feelings.
The night passed without conversation. Ye Tian lay quietly, contemplating various matters that needed attention. Cold Moon was also unable to sleep; she had noticed Yun'er's unusual identity. Whether it was defeating Fourth Master that day or this so-called cousin, anyone with keen eyes could see there was something extraordinary about her. Wine Kid had no significant issues; he was awake because of Duan Liu.
Duan Liu was carefree and snored loudly, which was why Wine Kid couldn't sleep. To be precise, he wasn't sleeping because he couldn't fall asleep.
As dawn approached, a shadow flew in through a hole in the window paper. It resembled a bird and was none other than the message-carrying Message Bug.
The Message Bug buzzed as it flew to Ye Tian's side and landed. Since Ye Tian hadn't been sleeping, he reached out to take the small note tied to the Message Bug, his heart racing with anticipation.
The note was from Cold Yang, stating that Wang Weiyang had new developments and requested him to meet at a place called Pingjiao Wawa, located fifty miles east of Luoma Market tomorrow for a mission briefing.
This information struck Ye Tian like a bolt from the blue. Of course, after the thunderstorm comes the downpour—not a disaster but rather a long-awaited blessing. The grievances with Wang Weiyang were finally going to reach a conclusion!
"Xiaoshuang, wait for me," Ye Tian thought, his eyes shining with determination as excitement surged within him.
Suppressing his agitation, Ye Tian casually turned over. On his left side lay Yun'er, and next to her was Cold Moon. On his right side was Duan Liu, while Wine Kid lay on the outermost side.
Glancing at Cold Moon from the corner of his eye, he saw that she seemed to be sound asleep. He then looked at Yun'er. At this moment, morning light filtered in; summer mornings arrived early, and he could clearly see Yun'er's features in the dim light. She was just inches away from him, gently sleeping with her long eyelashes intertwined. Her breathing was steady and soft, and there was a hint of a smile on her lips—perhaps she was dreaming of him.
"Yun'er, don't worry; I will never let you down," Ye Tian silently vowed. No matter what happened after rescuing Xiaoshuang, he would not abandon Yun'er.
Duan Liu was still "struggling" to snore, seemingly with his nostrils blocked. This guy had his mouth wide open, breathing was quite difficult, and it felt like he could suffocate at any moment.
Ye Tian gently pushed him, but as expected, there was no response. He tried pushing again, and Duan Liu let out a grunt but still didn’t wake up.
"Forget it." Ye Tian decided not to take him along. With just himself and Cold Yang, he estimated that Wang Weiyang wouldn’t cause much trouble.
This matter couldn’t be known by Cold Moon, so before leaving, Ye Tian placed a letter he had prepared beside Cold Moon's pillow. The general content stated that he had some personal matters to attend to and would return after several days, assuring everyone not to worry.
He quietly got up, tiptoed out of bed, and took one last look at everyone before leaving. Cold Moon was still sound asleep, Duan Liu was snoring loudly and started coughing, Wine Kid had a leg draped over Duan Liu while hugging a blanket, and Yun'er’s smile seemed even sweeter.
Closing the door behind him, Ye Tian left resolutely. Facing Wang Weiyang this time, Ye Tian was confident in his strength but wasn’t sure if everything would go perfectly when it came to schemes and calculations.
Since it had rained last night, the morning air was exceptionally fresh. Ye Tian took a deep breath, feeling invigorated and refreshed.
The trees lining the road were washed clean by the rain, vibrant green with boundless vitality. Even the chirping of birds and insects hidden in the forest seemed to resonate with lively energy.
In this moment, Ye Tian vaguely felt that this trip would surely lead to a fruitful outcome.
…………
After Ye Tian left, the Earthen Bed in the room suddenly felt much more spacious. However, this didn’t make anyone sleep more comfortably because just moments later, Yun'er blinked her bright eyes and slowly walked outside.
In fact, she hadn’t been sleeping at all; she had been paying attention to Ye Tian’s movements. She thought to herself that if he didn’t let her join in such an important matter, did he really consider her one of his own?
"One of my own..." As Yun'er pondered this, she couldn’t help but smile again. Throughout the night, she had been sweetly laughing about this because if all went well, it wouldn’t be long before she could truly become one of Ye Tian’s own.
With her spirits lifted, Yun'er understood Ye Tian’s strength but remained at a distance he couldn’t perceive. Otherwise, if he discovered her presence, he might send her back.
After Yun'er left, Cold Moon slowly opened her eyes. She first picked up the letter left by Ye Tian and skimmed through it, feeling a slight pang in her heart. What did it mean to handle personal matters? Had they become so estranged that they couldn't even clearly communicate what was going on?
"I can't stay behind; I have to go too." Cold Moon hurriedly got up, not caring much about anything else. If Yun'er was going, then she would go as well.
At that moment, Cold Moon was completely unaware of the significant shift in her own mindset.
In a rush, Cold Moon quickly washed her face. Years of habit compelled her to maintain a tidy appearance whenever possible.
The movement startled Wine Kid awake. He stretched and accidentally hit Severing Flow's nose, causing everyone to wake up and ask Cold Moon what she was doing and whether Ye Tian and Yun'er had sneaked off somewhere.
Facing the foolish questions from both the big and small ones, Cold Moon couldn't be bothered to respond. She hastily tidied herself up and rushed out, sensing Yun'er's presence and chasing after her.
Duan Liu and Wine Kid were confused but followed closely behind Cold Moon. They asked several questions along the way but received no answers. However, Duan Liu suddenly recalled something.
"Could Ye Tian be saving his fiancée?" Duan Liu thought to himself.
Upon this realization, Duan Liu secretly hoped that Ye Tian wouldn't find that fiancée; otherwise, what would happen to Yun'er? Duan Liu was straightforward; although Cold Frost was Ye Tian's fiancée and logically should have a closer relationship than Yun'er, he only recognized Yun'er. Moreover, she had saved his life, and they were good friends and brothers. In his heart, he tilted the scales heavily in favor of Yun'er, with only a slight acknowledgment of Cold Moon due to their friendship.
Of course, no one could decipher Duan Liu's inner thoughts, and he was merely engaging in mental speculation. Regardless of his feelings, since his brother needed help, he would undoubtedly do everything he could to assist.
Cold Moon's goal was to catch up with Yun'er and accompany her, so she moved quickly. Duan Liu had already obtained Crimson Flame Beast Blood, so keeping up with Cold Moon posed no challenge for him. However, Wine Kid struggled; initially managing for over ten miles was still feasible, but as the distance increased, his legs began to falter.
"Are you alright?" Cold Moon stopped and turned back to ask the lagging Wine Kid with a hint of impatience in her tone.
Despite being exhausted, Wine Kid was a true man; he couldn't let a woman see him as a burden. While he certainly couldn't keep up anymore, it wouldn't hinder Cold Moon. "You all go ahead; I'll catch up shortly."
Upon hearing this, Cold Moon intended to turn back but suddenly realized something felt off after taking just two steps. Why was she in such a rush? Ye Tian wasn't going off to die; it was just some personal matter after all.
Thinking of this, Cold Moon gradually calmed down and walked back to Wine Kid's side, saying, "You and Duan Liu should take it slow for now. I will leave markers along the way for you. Don't push yourself if you're feeling weak; otherwise, it could lead to internal injuries."
Wine Kid felt a warm current pass through him, and the intense fluctuations in his chest indicated that he was at the end of his strength. However, he still stubbornly replied, "It's fine, just go all out."
"Duan Liu, stay with him," Cold Moon said, her patience wearing thin as she instructed Duan Liu before setting off again.
Duan Liu awkwardly opened his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, Cold Moon had already floated away like a celestial being.
Watching Cold Moon's increasingly distant figure as she hurried away made Wine Kid's heart feel as if it had been tugged at, causing an inexplicable pain.
"Ye Tian, I will definitely surpass you!" Wine Kid gritted his teeth and silently vowed. Unbeknownst to him, a different kind of jealousy had taken root in his heart.
"What did you say?" Duan Liu didn't hear clearly and asked again.
Wine Kid didn't shy away; his small face was filled with determination as he repeated word for word, "One day, I will surpass Ye Tian in every aspect!"
"Dude, are you crazy?" Duan Liu dismissed it casually. He had no idea how deep Wine Kid's jealousy ran or that Wine Kid believed Cold Moon valued Ye Tian over him because Ye Tian was more outstanding.
Of course, that wasn't the case. Cold Moon herself couldn't understand where her feelings came from. To be honest, she never thought Ye Tian was exceptional; in her heart, Ye Tian had a more reliable arm than Thunderstorm.
Cold Moon shook her head vigorously, trying not to think about this misplaced affection—falling for a man who liked her younger sister was such an absurd thing…
