When Gu Xun'er heard Xiao Miao's words, although she knew that he was just saying it to fool her, she was still very pleased. The smile on her face was the best proof of that.

Even so, Gu Xun'er still spoke up to warn:

"That would be great, but remember, I'm not joking."

With Xiao Miao nodding frantically, the two finally ended the conversation.

Although Xiao Miao said that, he was eager to weaken the seal that night. After all, he couldn't stay here forever. Even though the scenery of this ancient world was indeed beautiful, he would get tired of it if he stayed here all the time.

As Xiao Miao thought of this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickened his pace. Perhaps this was his chance, and he could use it to leap away.

As for Gu Xun'er's feelings for him, Xiao Miao felt inexplicably complicated. He originally wanted to make her give up completely, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in running away any longer. Besides, he admits that he has feelings for all three figures in his mind. Since he can't choose, he'll choose them all.

Ultimately, he was influenced by the monogamous education he received in his previous life, and he also wanted to give his love to only one person to make things better. But now, since he cannot make a choice, and no matter who he chooses, the other person will not acknowledge it, he has no choice but to have it all.

As for the women around him arguing, Xiao Miao had already thought about it. As long as his strength improved quickly enough and he completely surpassed them, with him around, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble even if they wanted to.

As Xiao Miao thought this, he suddenly felt his mind was clear and his long-standing problem was solved.

The "Remembering You" in his hand absorbed energy even faster until he had almost finished today's progress, at which point he stopped.

Xiao Miao's thoughts were clear, and his attitude towards Gu Xun'er had subtly changed today, seemingly becoming more intimate and easygoing, which made the latter feel strange.

The stunningly handsome young man before her seemed to have become even closer to her. Although she didn't know why, and the young man had changed so much overnight, it was a good thing for her, since it meant that the person she had been longing for was now paying attention to her.

Little did he know that Xiao Miao felt a little guilty. Although he had accepted the beautiful and ethereal girl in front of him, the thought of running away made him feel guilty for letting her down, and his actions inevitably showed a subtle intimacy.

"After a while, my people will open the passage, and we will also send people out. You can follow me then."

When Xiao Miao saw Gu Xun'er speaking to him, he gently bowed his head and nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

At this moment, within the Izumo Empire, a woman sat on a high throne, her face veiled, obscuring her features, but her eyes were cold and indifferent, and her long white hair added a unique air to her.

Not only that, but many people in the audience knelt down on the ground.

If others saw this, they would be curious about what had happened.

"Have you found the clues I asked you to look for?"

The woman on the stage spoke softly, her voice clear yet filled with indifference. These words caused the faces of the people below to change drastically, filled with fear. Their bodies trembled, and they dared not raise their heads to meet the woman's icy gaze.

The crowd below remained silent, but their reactions told the woman the answer. For a moment, her eyes lowered, and a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed across them.

After dismissing the crowd, the white-haired woman removed her veil and took out a medicinal herb—or perhaps poison—from her storage ring.

The woman then put the poison she had taken out into the mouth of the prisoner. Her originally fair and delicate face involuntarily revealed colorful patterns, which looked rather strange.

If Xiao Miao were here, he would surely notice that the woman who removed her veil bore a resemblance to Little Fairy Doctor in her appearance.

The woman who had terrified everyone earlier was none other than Little Fairy Doctor, who had been separated from Xiao Miao for a long time.

After learning that she possessed the Calamity Poison Body and parted ways with Xiao Miao, Little Fairy Doctor came to the Chuyun Empire, a land full of poison masters.

Firstly, she came here after learning about her constitution, hoping to improve her strength through poison. Secondly, she wanted to see if there was a way to control the Calamity Poison Body. However, she was very disappointed. She had been here for a long time but had not found anything, and there were hardly any people who even knew about the Calamity Poison Body.

However, with her constitution, she can also improve her cultivation by consuming poison. By constantly consuming the strange and unusual poisons of the Cloud Empire, her strength has already reached the peak of the Dou Wang level, and she is only one step away from breaking through to the Dou Huang level.

Little Fairy Doctor endured the pain within her body, continuously converting the medicinal power into poisonous fighting energy. Her cold and beautiful face showed little change. If she had been able to endure it intensely at first, she had long since become accustomed to the pain, and her expression had become almost unchanged.

"I don't know when I will find a way to control this calamity-inducing poison, or when I will be able to see you again."

After Little Fairy Doctor finished consuming a poisonous plant, she felt the breakthrough barrier she had encountered within her body and immediately stopped to consolidate her fighting spirit.

But when he thought of that graceful figure under the moonlight in his mind, a sense of loneliness and longing welled up in his eyes.

As if recalling that brief but beautiful time together, a smile involuntarily crept onto Little Fairy Doctor's lips, which had been indifferent for so long. If the people of the Chuyun Empire were to see this, it would probably cause quite a stir.

At this time, Little Fairy Doctor was already seen as a demon in the Izumo Empire. When she first arrived in the Izumo Empire, she was quickly targeted by people with ill intentions because of her beautiful appearance and weak strength.

Fortunately, she escaped by using unexpected methods such as poison powder. Afterwards, she relied on consuming poison to frantically increase her strength. When she arrived in the big city, she turned that fighter into a pool of blood and pus. However, this attracted the pursuit of his family. From then on, Little Fairy Doctor wiped him out along with his family.

Since then, no one dared to provoke Little Fairy Doctor. Everyone knew that the Chuyun Empire had a ruthless and deadly Heavenly Poison Woman.

In order to quickly obtain the information she needed and to obtain the poisonous herbs she required more efficiently, Little Fairy Doctor soon established a poison sect, thus embarking on the road to dominating the Izumo Empire.

Chapter 126 The Misunderstanding Between Guhe and Yunling

At this moment, although it was a misty night on Yunlan Mountain, the tranquility was different from other places. The mountain was full of lights, and even at the foot of the mountain, one could hear the lingering sounds coming from the mountain.

This was Yunshan's farewell gift for Yunyun. After all, she was his disciple whom he had raised himself, so he had to give her a proper send-off before she left.

Looking at the guests who were constantly toasting, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel a little helpless. In fact, she had told Yun Shan that it was okay not to do it, but the latter firmly disagreed and claimed that it had to be done this way, otherwise he would not agree to let her go to Zhongzhou. Therefore, she agreed.

However, seeing the sect disciples mingling together like this, compared to the usual quiet and serious cultivation atmosphere, it's not bad to celebrate occasionally.

"Yun'er, let me go and talk to those old guys first. I heard that the Ice Emperor has suddenly disappeared and returned these days for some reason."

Yunshan walked over and spoke to Yunyun, then took a wine cup and walked away.

Yun Yun was also somewhat surprised to see this. For some reason, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong had disappeared all these years. She had been immersed in cultivation and had finally broken through to the Dou Zong realm. She did not expect that the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who had disappeared before, would return now. It was as if the Mittel family's powerful helper had returned.

Suddenly, Yun Yun looked at the distant Elder Yun Ling and stood up to retreat. She saw the latter's slightly fat figure looking around.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yun frowned. After all, he was the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, representing the face of the sect when he went out, especially since it was a ceremony held in the sect. He wondered what outsiders would think of him in this state.

With this thought in mind, Yun Yun took slow, graceful steps, intending to walk towards the latter and issue a warning.

But suddenly he stopped. Yun Ling looked around and waved to the people who came to teach him how to drink, as if he hadn't found a target. Then he suddenly shuddered and walked to another place, with a fake smile on his face. This made Yun Yun feel a little uncomfortable. She didn't know if it was because she had seen Xiao Miao's stunningly charming face too much, but now she felt a little uncomfortable looking at the Grand Elder.

Yun Yun shook her head, clearing her mind of distracting thoughts. It was strange; apart from looking at Xiao Miao, what did the beauty or ugliness of others have to do with her? Fortunately, others didn't know, otherwise, wouldn't that have chilled the hearts of those who belonged to the Yunlan Sect?

Looking in the direction Yunling went, one could see a refined middle-aged man sitting at the table in the direction he was heading. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Dan Wang Guhe.

Looking at the scene before her, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel curious about when the two had become so familiar. She then concealed her presence slightly and walked towards them.

"Hahaha, Elder Guhe, you've come too. Come, let me toast you."

At this moment, Gu Leng had already arrived beside Gu He. Although the two were both at the Dou Wang realm, Gu Leng's status as a sixth-grade alchemist was enough for him to lower his guard and befriend him.

The few pills he had previously refined for me had already boosted my cultivation. If I could get a few more pills from him, I probably wouldn't even need to break through to the Dou Huang realm for more than a few years. You have to know that the cultivation speed with pills is quite different from the cultivation speed without pills.

With this thought in mind, the fake smile on his face intensified, and even some fleshy muscles appeared to bulge out.

Seeing Yun Ling's behavior, Dan Wang Gu He felt a surge of disgust. However, since the two were both stewards in the Yun Lan Sect, it was best not to let things get too tense, lest they have an unpleasant encounter in the future. Therefore, he raised his wine cup and nodded slightly to the latter.

Yun Ling felt a surge of pride as he watched Dan Wang Gu He respond to him, believing that he had already gained Dan Wang Gu He's favor.

"Elder Guhe, cough cough, the sect leader will soon be stepping down from his position in the Yunlan Sect, and the old sect leader will take over. I will be heading to Zhongzhou. I wonder if Elder Guhe would like to go with me?"

At this moment, Yun Leng leaned slightly closer to Dan Wang Gu He, speaking softly while his eyes scrutinized the refined man's face, seemingly trying to discern his thoughts.

But how could Dan Wang Guhe's thoughts be seen through? After hearing Yun Leng's words, Guhe silently shifted his stance, then remained expressionless, but the wine cup in his hand was gently swaying, as if he was considering something, without saying a word.

Looking at Dan Wang Guhe's appearance, Yun Ling was also unsure. In the past, Dan Wang Guhe had always pursued Yun Yun passionately, which everyone had noticed. But for some reason, ever since he bumped into Guhe returning from the back mountain that day, it seemed that he hadn't seen Guhe take the initiative to see Yun Yun much. And even when he did come over, it was usually about matters within the sect.

He didn't see any other casual conversation between the two, which made him wonder and worry that perhaps Yun Yun had rejected him harshly that day, causing a drastic change in his personality, which was why he was so distant on weekdays.

As Yun Ling thought about this, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, a large part of the reason why the latter came to Yunlan Sect was to pursue Yun Yun, and he could also gain some benefits from it in his daily life.

If the two of them break up now, not only will the Yunlan Sect lose this sixth-grade alchemist, but as the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, he may not have the opportunity to take pills refined by Pill King Guhe in the future. Otherwise, he will have to pay a high price to get rid of his future pill refining.

At this moment, Yun Ling couldn't help but feel a little regretful and puzzled. He couldn't understand why Yun Yun didn't accept Dan Wang Gu He's pursuit. If he were a woman, she might even have pursued him in return. However, she never thought that even if she were a woman, she probably wouldn't be accepted even if she offered herself to someone. It was as if she didn't know how to look in the mirror.

In a moment of desperation, Yun Leng decided to ask what had happened. It was all his fault for not being able to attend the celebration that day because he was out on a mission. And afterwards, he didn't ask, and no one told him that Yun Yun had actually gone somewhere else on the day of the celebration. Otherwise, if he had seen Gu He returning from the back mountain that day, he would have known that he wasn't looking for Yun Yun, which led to the current misunderstanding.

"Elder Guhe, I've noticed that your relationship with Sect Master Yun seems somewhat distant lately. Could it be that when you went to the back mountain earlier, Sect Master Yun refused you?"

At this moment, Yun Leng's face showed some caution as she looked at the refined man beside her and asked softly.

Chapter 127 The Truth Revealed, Yun Yun's Wrath

Just as Yun Leng approached Gu He, Yun Yun also concealed her figure and aura and came to listen to the two. Although she knew that her behavior was not very good, she could not help her curiosity.

Seeing that Guhe had dodged Yunling to the side, clearly not wanting to get too close, I couldn't help but chuckle.

However, after hearing Yun Leng's words, Yun Yun's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She couldn't help but slowly recall when Gu He had gone to the back mountain to look for her.

But no matter what she thought, she never saw Guhe come to the back mountain to find her. Although she knew Guhe's feelings in previous years, she had never allowed him to enter the back mountain.

Now, how could he suddenly go in? If Yun Ling said that, does that mean she saw Gu He go in, but she didn't know it? She doesn't think that with Gu He's current strength as a Dou Wang, he can hide from her detection, but it's still best to be careful, after all, a sixth-grade alchemist's soul perception is very sharp.

In that case, there are only two possibilities: either she misunderstood Yunling's words, or Guhe went into the back mountain while she was away and was seen by Yunling.

However, if the second possibility is true, then it means that when Guhe entered the back mountain, she was unfortunately discovered by Yunling, but at that time Yunling did not know that she had already gone out.

Yun Yun thought and thought, but no matter what, she usually cultivated in the back mountain. Then, as if she had thought of something, a cold glint gradually flashed in her gentle eyes. The only thing she could think of was the day she held a welcome party for Gu He, and Xiao Miao disappeared immediately afterward.

At the time, she suspected that someone within the sect was helping her, but she couldn't find anyone to suspect, so she ruled out that possibility. When she asked Xiao Miao, he refused to say anything, so she put her doubts aside. But that didn't mean she could let go of her anger towards the person who let Xiao Miao go.

However, Yun Yun still retained her rationality at this moment. After all, it was just a sentence from Yun Leng, and perhaps she had misunderstood it. She couldn't be too impulsive, but the cold glint in her eyes did not fade at all. She silently hid near the two of them.

At this moment, the two were in a secluded part of the banquet. Gu He originally wanted to be alone, but unexpectedly, Yun Ling came to find him. The others at the banquet thought that the two were talking about something important, so they did not come over to disturb them. This allowed Yun Yun to hide nearby and hear their conversation.

At this moment, Gu He also came to his senses from his previous composure. Upon hearing Yun Leng's words, his expression immediately changed, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Gu He then glanced around discreetly. Seeing that no one was around, he relaxed slightly. Little did he know that this scene only heightened the suspicion of someone hiding somewhere.

Seeing Gu He's changing expression, Yun Ling was startled. Had she really spoken too harshly? She immediately tried to salvage the situation.

"Elder Guhe, don't worry about it. I won't tell anyone that you were rejected by the sect leader when you went into the back mountain that night."
