Lu Mingyuan was burning hot all over, red as a cooked shrimp. Qi Xiao reached out his hand to help him up, but as soon as his fingers touched Lu's skin, he immediately felt several painful welts forming.
"Master Li, if this keeps up, will my senior brother be alright?" Li Jinyuan paced back and forth, letting out a long sigh. He never expected someone could be so foolish. This was a Sacred Fruit; even elders in the Nascent Soul stage had to be cautious when consuming it. How could anyone be so reckless?
"What should we do?" He could only try to circulate his energy to help expel the excess energy from the Sacred Fruit, leaving the rest for Lu to digest slowly.
Thus, Master Li used his spiritual power to lift Lu Mingyuan and brought him back to the room. Although most of the excess medicinal effects were expelled from Lu's body, a significant amount remained inside him, requiring proper digestion.
Lu Mingyuan fell asleep just like that and didn't wake up even upon arriving at Miaochun Valley. When Fan Wuyou rushed over and saw this scene, he was taken aback and even considered setting aside his pride to have the valley master treat Lu personally.
In the end, it was still Li Jinyuan who stepped forward and personally guaranteed everything would be fine, which allowed Fan to reluctantly ease his worries.
"I have been informed of this matter. You all did well to escape with the information," Fan Wuyou said after listening briefly to their accounts before hurriedly turning to leave, clearly preparing to discuss matters with several other sect leaders.
Xue Tinghe and Ji Wushang exchanged glances and decided to withdraw, but Qi Xiao remained standing without moving. Seeing Fan Wuyou depart, he took a couple of steps forward and called out.
"Master, I have one more question."
"What is it?"
"Doesn't the sect leader find the methods of this Baohua Sanren suspicious?"
"What do you mean?"
Qi Xiao hesitated for a moment before gathering his courage to speak. "This Baohua Sanren might be related to the Demon Realm!"
The sect leader might want to ask why he came to this conclusion. "I have a friend who was forced to become a disciple of Baohua Sanren and learned some beast-taming techniques from him. She told me that Baohua Sanren once said himself that this secret technique came from the Demon Realm."
Fan Wuyou immediately became interested. "Go on, tell me more."
"Huh?" Qi Xiao was taken aback. Wasn't the sect leader surprised?
Fan Wuyou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Do you think I should be surprised? So much has happened recently; if I were completely unaware, then I wouldn’t deserve to be the sect leader."
Qi Xiao was taken aback. He had prepared a lot of arguments to persuade Fan Wuyou and the other leaders. Little did he know they were already well-prepared, rendering his efforts useless. As for other matters, Qi Xiao had not prepared anything at all.
"Besides this, what else did your friend tell you? Where was this secret method discovered?"
The Wanderer Baohua remained tight-lipped about the matter but had accidentally let slip that it was obtained in a certain secret realm. However, he did not know where that secret realm was located.
After all, Baohua was once a disciple of the Beast Sect. If one could inquire there, perhaps there would be some clues.
Fan Wuyou sighed with a bitter smile. "If you can think of this, do you think others can’t? If the Beast Sect knew where this secret realm was, would they still be in such a state of uncertainty?"
Qi Xiao stood in shock. "So you’ve been there before?"
Fan Wuyou nodded. "Sect Master Li and Master Song have been there before. Baohua kept this matter tightly under wraps back then, refusing to reveal even a hint despite the Beast Sect’s threats and temptations."
"But don’t worry; no matter what is in that secret realm, it hasn’t stirred in all these years. It’s unlikely to cause any trouble in the short term."
Qi Xiao took a deep breath, his mind in disarray. He had thought that the sudden destruction of Miaochun Valley and the emergence of the demon clan would lead to disaster without anyone in the cultivation world noticing. But now it seemed that the sect leaders not only knew but had also considered everything thoroughly.
If that were the case, why did things end up so badly in his previous life? There must have been something overlooked!
"Disciple has no further matters; I will take my leave first."
With that, Qi Xiao hurriedly excused himself, not waiting for Fan Wuyou's permission before turning to leave.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiuyuan followed behind Yu Miaoyin, feeling increasingly impatient. Ever since their conflict at the inn, Yu Miaoyin had taken him out for an endless stroll.
In the past, Ye Xiuyuan would have been thrilled by such an opportunity to increase his favorability with her. However, just recently, when her favorability reached ninety, he had immediately drained her luck away.
Now faced with someone who held no further value to him, Ye Xiuyuan's patience was waning rapidly, but he still had to maintain his persona.
"Sister, why don’t we head back? We’ve been out for so long; the other sisters will be worried."
Yu Miaoyin scoffed coldly. "Worried? They wouldn’t care at all!"
Ye Xiuyuan pressed his lips together. In truth, he felt that what the Senior Sister said had some merit; perhaps he should honestly stay at Qingjing Peak.
Yu Miaoyin frowned, looking at him with concern. "Junior Brother, this is clearly Master’s intention. It’s their choice not to take you along; why must you make things so difficult for yourself?"
"If it really comes to it, you could go to Master and report them. Let’s see if they would dare to act like this again."
Ye Xiuyuan was somewhat speechless. If he truly reported this matter, how would he interact with the others at Qingjing Peak? Wouldn’t that mean he was done for?
At first, Ye Xiuyuan thought his Third Senior Sister was easy to talk to. However, after spending some time together, he felt that she often acted without considering others' feelings. If he continued to let her stay by his side, it might disrupt their future plans.
Thinking of this, he forced a smile. "Senior Sister, I’m a bit tired. I’ll head back first."
"Hey, wait for me!"
Seeing Ye Xiuyuan turn to leave, Yu Miaoyin immediately wanted to follow him. But Ye Xiuyuan walked too quickly and soon vanished into the crowd.
Yu Miaoyin stamped her foot in dissatisfaction. "How can he just leave like that? Am I supposed to go back alone now?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she decided to wander around the city a little longer. However, as she strolled about, she suddenly felt dizzy and hazily lifted her eyes towards a building.
Under the beaded curtain, a man appeared pale and gaunt, his eyes deep like dark jade or two tranquil springs. As she gazed at him, Yu Miaoyin found herself enveloped in darkness.
"Excuse me, Miss, who are you looking for?"
"Step aside."
Yu Miaoyin stumbled into the tavern and went upstairs. When a waiter tried to stop her, she brushed him aside with a wave of her hand.
After muttering a curse under her breath and preparing to call someone to chase this unreasonable guest away, she suddenly heard the pale-faced man by the window chuckle softly.
"It’s nothing; she is my friend."
The waiter's expression changed slightly as he immediately put on a flattering smile.
