On the way back, everything went smoothly, and they returned to the small village right on time for lunch.
Upon arriving at the village, everyone started a fire to cook. Except for Ye Tian and Duan Liu, most of them had been quite hungry these past few days, and this meal consumed several days' worth of rations from the Head of Household's home.
It wasn't that everyone could eat so much; rather, it was because the farmers cooked with little water and rice, while Ye Tian and the others prepared dry rice completely.
During the meal, the Head of Household watched eagerly. Rice was nothing special for this group of Cloud Sea Sect disciples, but for the impoverished farmers, it was a luxury that could only be indulged during festivals.
Seeing this, everyone called over the Head of Household to join them for the meal. At first, he declined, but in the end, he couldn't resist the allure of the fluffy rice and its rich aroma.
After a hearty meal, everyone went to the riverbank to play and splash water, enjoying themselves immensely.
"Hey, my brother and I on the way..."
Duan Liu animatedly spoke, spitting out bits of saliva onto Wine Kid's face. However, his storytelling was so engaging that Wine Kid didn't mind; he wiped his face while listening intently.
Ye Tian stood by anxiously, fearing that Duan Liu might accidentally reveal details about the black-robed and white-clothed men. This was something Cold Moon must not know; otherwise, it would surely upset her. Despite her cold and strong demeanor, Ye Tian understood that deep down she still had a very feminine side.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Yun'er said with a pout, feeling a bit annoyed as Ye Tian had been half-heartedly responding for quite some time.
"I'm listening, I'm listening. What were you saying?" Ye Tian replied casually.
Yun'er sighed helplessly and said, "Did you guys run into my senior brother?"
"Uh... what!" Ye Tian'en was suddenly startled and quickly asked, "Who told you that? Was it that gossiping woman Duan Liu?"
"Nonsense, my senior brother came to find me today and said he ran into you," Yun'er replied lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
"Ha..." Ye Tian let out a sigh of relief; this was indeed his oversight. It was he who had informed Fang Xiong about Yun'er's stay in this village.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and it seemed Fang Xiong didn't speak carelessly.
Swish!
A sharp sound suddenly came from behind, followed by a burst of radiant light that shone brightly in the evening.
Ye Tian turned around to see Duan Liu holding the Treasure Light Sword Hilt, a proud expression on his face.
"Where did you get that treasure?" Wine Kid's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Hmph, it can't even compare to my Azure Moon Autumn Light Sword," Cold Moon said as she casually waved her sword, the autumn water-like light flowing gently. Compared to the Treasure Light Sword Hilt, one was luxurious while the other was elegant, each possessing its own unique charm.
"Hey, don't think I don't know; that's a gift from Ye Tian to you. You naturally regard it as a treasure, so nothing else can compare to it," Wine Kid's jealousy towards Ye Tian had never faded. However, he could no longer react as strongly as he did the first time.
This time, Wine Kid was just joking around, but Cold Moon couldn't help but blush slightly, though fortunately, no one noticed the change in her expression.
"Yun'er, come here," Duan Liu scoffed at Cold Moon's comment. In his eyes, the Treasure Light Sword Hilt was countless times stronger than the Azure Moon Autumn Light Sword.
"Coming!" Yun'er stood up, brushed off the dust, and pulled Ye Tian along with her.
Approaching the table, Ye Tian kept glancing at Duan Liu, intending to warn him not to say anything wrong.
Duan Liu impatiently shot him a glare, then turned to Yun'er, pushing the Treasure Light Sword Hilt forward and generously said, "This is for you."
Everyone present was taken aback. What was he doing? Was he openly flirting with his brother's wife?
Although Yun'er and Ye Tian's relationship was still uncertain, in everyone's eyes, they were already a couple. Even Cold Moon would occasionally joke about the two of them.
"Damn!" Duan Liu spat, "You lot are all filled with filthy thoughts. Yun'er saved my life; shouldn't I repay her?"
"Shh!"
Wine Kid and Cold Moon shushed him loudly, seemingly dissatisfied with this outcome.
Of course, they were just joking. Having spent so much time together, the remaining five had formed a bond of life and death, allowing for casual banter.
"Thanks." Yun'er was not polite at all; she reached out to take the Treasure Light Sword Hilt and examined it with undisguised affection.
"Generous! Brother Duan, didn't you bring something good for your little brother too?" Wine Kid usually referred to Duan Liu as Old Duan.
"Get lost! You already have protective armor; you're so greedy." As Duan Liu pushed Wine Kid aside, he deliberately shook the Xumi Ring.
Wine Kid's eyes immediately lit up with greed.
"Brother Duan..."
"Get lost..."
After playing for a while, Condensed Moon Segment Flow, Wine Kid, and the others returned to sleep first. The night was tranquil, with the bright moon casting its gentle light, shimmering on the small river.
Yun'er lifted her skirt, revealing a pair of smooth and well-proportioned calves, splashing water playfully.
"What did Fang Xiong want to talk to you about?" Ye Tian asked as he sat beside Yun'er. He had something to discuss tonight.
"Nothing much, just asking about my situation and how I've been," Yun'er replied lightly, her smile bright.
Although they had not defined their relationship, after spending so much time together, their feelings were already clear. Yun'er was willing to wait, and Ye Tian was confident he would give Yun'er an answer.
They fell silent, but the atmosphere was not awkward; instead, it was filled with a subtle sense of happiness, as if even the breeze had become gentler.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Tian spoke up, " Yun'er, I need to handle something tomorrow regarding Xiaoshuang."
Yun'er nodded, her smile unwavering as she continued to sway gently in rhythm.
"If I can find her, I'll bring her back," Ye Tian continued calmly.
"I'll go with you," Yun'er said, stopping her movements and looking directly at Ye Tian.
"No need. I can go with Duan Liu," Ye Tian replied.
"Are you afraid that I won't be dedicated?" Yun'er smiled, revealing two slightly noticeable small tiger teeth.
"You noticed that?" Ye Tian pretended to be surprised.
"Haha, get lost," Yun'er said, playfully punching Ye Tian's chest, but he dodged.
"Seriously, I'll go with you," Yun'er said, her smile fading as she spoke earnestly.
"You really don't have to. But don't worry, if I can't handle it, I will definitely ask for your help." After saying this, Ye Tian activated his Martial Origin Power, and a small object flashed out from the Xumi Ring.
Yun'er looked over and saw a small square box, which contained the Message Bug she had given Ye Tian for communication.
A warm feeling surged in her heart. Although Ye Tian had never used this Message Bug to send her messages, he always kept it with him...
"That's not your Message Bug," Ye Tian said, seeing the happy expression on Yun'er's face and unable to hold back his laughter.
Yun'er instantly turned serious, feigning anger as she said, "Are you looking for trouble?"
"Your Message Bug was burned by the Crimson Flame Ape," Ye Tian replied nonchalantly with a smile.
"Hmph, you actually let it die..." As she spoke, Yun'er seemed to realize something.
"He really has been keeping it with him all along; otherwise, it wouldn't have been burned by the Crimson Flame Ape." A warm sensation surged in Yun'er's heart again, making her feel delighted.
...
Returning to the residence, the sky had completely darkened. The moonlight was shrouded by dark clouds, and it seemed that a heavy rain would fall later in the night.
Before he could even enter, a thunderous snoring sound reached his ears—one loud and one soft, one high and one low, one long and one short, echoing each other. Ye Tian frowned; it was going to be another sleepless night.
Creak...
The old wooden door let out a harsh sound, but this completely failed to disturb the two snorers' sweet dreams. Ye Tian didn’t care much and boldly walked into the house; after all, he wouldn’t wake up those two sleepyheads.
Upon entering, Ye Tian was stunned. He could accept not sleeping, but he couldn’t believe there was no place to rest at all...
The house was dilapidated, and a small Earthen Bed was already cramped for three people. Yet Duan Liu had the audacity to lie across it, taking up half of the space. The remaining half was occupied by Wine Kid, leaving just enough room for Ye Tian to squeeze in. However, facing Duan Liu's formidable sweaty feet, Ye Tian dared not touch them...
"Sigh..." Ye Tian sighed deeply, thinking that he must have committed some sins in his past life; otherwise, how could he have ended up knowing such two characters?
There was a small wooden chair in the room, suitable for a child of three or five years old. For Ye Tian, it could only accommodate half of his backside.
After struggling for a while while looking at the small chair, Ye Tian finally decided to get up and leave again, returning to the riverside.
The sky rumbled continuously above him. Ye Tian looked up at the sky and estimated that it wouldn’t be long before it started to rain.
He cursed Duan Liu and Wine Kid under his breath for being useless and then lay down in the grass to start pondering things.
The first thing that came to mind was how to proceed with the plan to find Cold Frost. However, after thinking it over, he couldn’t even confirm whether the other party was Cold Yang or not, let alone formulate a specific plan.
With a flick of the Xumi Ring, a Jade Box appeared in his hand.
"I won't think about it anymore; I'll study the treasure first." Ye Tian took out the Dan Pill from the small box. In the dim night, the Dan Pill shimmered with brilliant colors, appearing extraordinary.
"What kind of qualities does this Dan Pill have..." Ye Tian fell into hesitation, bringing it to his nose for a sniff, but there was no scent at all.
In his previous experiences, Dan Pills always emitted a fragrance, but this one had no smell. Could this be the characteristic of a pure Dan Pill...
"Never mind, I'll just eat it."
Without hesitation, Ye Tian tilted his head and swallowed it. He truly couldn't discern whether this Dan Pill was for healing or cultivation. So he decided not to analyze it further; if it was for cultivation, he would take the opportunity to break through. If it was for healing, he would consider it a way to relieve fatigue. After all, he had no place to stay right now and was quite exhausted...
The Dan Pill went down without any taste; the overwhelming sensations he had imagined did not occur, and he didn't even feel a hint of warmth...
"Ugh..."
Suddenly feeling a bit drowsy, Ye Tian didn't resist and fell into a deep sleep right there on the grass.
