A man stands before the heavens, his sword emerges from the Emei Mountains.

Chapter 112 Alliance, The Truth

Sunlight filters through the trees, scattering golden elm seeds across the ground.

Laughter about cultivating to the height of a tree echoed in the morning mist.

"It's about half a tree tall now."

"I'm still three feet tall. I'll practice diligently once I return to Emei." Zhou Zhiruo gestured, a flawless smile on her face. Chen Yu's improved cultivation was, in her opinion, more gratifying than her own breakthrough.

"Your senior brother has high hopes for you."

"I will not let my senior brother down." Zhou Zhiruo said resolutely, clenching her fair, jade-like hand into a fist and waving it in the air to encourage herself.

"By the way, Yu Erxia and Yin Liuxia set off for Wudang Mountain after having breakfast."

I went to see them off.

"Wait for Senior Brother."

"Junior sister, you go back first."

Zhou Zhiruo was about to wait patiently, but then she remembered the scene of Chen Yu's body covered in blood and mist, and realizing what she was supposed to do, she obediently nodded.

Goodbye, senior brother.

Zhou Zhiruo waved her hand and left gracefully.

After watching the other person walk away, Chen Yu turned around and entered the hall, picked up his bundle, and disappeared into the mountains.

After about the time it takes to eat a meal, Chen Yu, having taken a bath, returned to the wooden building, took the sheet music that Shuobude had searched for, put it in a brocade box, and headed straight for the camp.

Faint, fish-scale-like clouds floated in the sky, and the warm autumn sun shone through the gaps in the clouds. Chen Yu saw in the distance that the Hengshan Sect disciples, who had finished their breakfast, were already packing their bags, and Miejue and Shao Xishan were talking.

Chen Yu quickly stepped forward, and as the distance closed, the two people's voices could be heard.

"Lian Zhenjia and Yunze have not been executed, and they will inevitably make a comeback in the future. When the abbess summons them, the Hengshan Sect will go through fire and water."

"Sect Leader Shao is very righteous. If something happens to Hengshan, it means something happens to Emei."

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Yu chuckled. The two factions forming an alliance, sharing the same breath and branches, was a good thing.

"Young man, until we meet again." Elder Ape greeted Chen Yu before he could even approach. Chen Yu noticed that the elder looked radiant, indicating that he had been practicing his martial arts after drinking the Five Immortals Wine, and his cultivation had made commendable progress.

"Until we meet again." Chen Yu stepped forward and handed the brocade box to Elder Yuan.

"This is?"

"A few sheet music books that I found."

Elder Ape was overjoyed, "Haha, you're very kind, lad. It would be impolite to refuse."

"You're too kind, Elder."

Chen Yu and Miejue saw them off, and Hengshan Sect disciples Shao Xishan, Gao Muyang, and others led the way as they departed in a grand procession.

The disciples of Hengshan arrived in high spirits and left with composure and calmness; this battle alone washed away all their youthful exuberance.

Yu Lianzhou stepped forward and said to Miejue, "We will hurry back to Wudang to report to our master, and then take the Wudang Nine Yang Divine Skill to Emei."

Take care on your journey.

"Thank you, Master."

In a wooden building a little further away, Master Ji accompanied Ji Xiaofu, whose injuries had largely healed, as she went out. Yin Liting watched with heartache.

Have a safe trip.

"Take care, my dear." Yin Liting took a deep breath, her eyes welling up with tears, and turned to stride towards the prepared horse.

Once I was on horseback, I couldn't help but look back again.

Ji Xiaofu stood by the door, looking frail and haggard.

"My dear sister, once we return to the mountain, I will explain my feelings to my master and elder brother. From now on, I will grow old with you hand in hand." Yin Liting thought to himself.

The Emei Sect presented the Wudang Sect with dozens of jars of Five Immortals Wine, but Yu Lianzhou, citing inconvenience in carrying them, only took three jars. The three of them, on three horses, rode away amidst the farewells of the crowd.

"Daughter, go back inside."

"Um.

""

Ji Xiaofu and Grandpa Ji returned to the wooden building. She poured tea for them. Grandpa Ji sat on a wooden chair, took a small sip of tea, and said, "Daughter, Yin Liuxia will be going to the Emei Sect soon. Your father is free now, so I will go with you. On the way, I will discuss with the nun and finalize the marriage, and choose an auspicious day to get married."

Ji Xiaofu trembled. "Father, you mustn't!"

The old man said calmly, "When my daughter came from the Han River to Hanyang, she said that the Emei Sect was going through a lot of trouble, so I didn't mention it again. But several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you are not young anymore. Moreover, since you came all the way from Dongting Lake, Yin Liuxia has been very kind to you. The Ji family should give you an explanation."

After saying this, Old Master Ji placed the teacup on the table. "That's settled then."

"father."

"I'll discuss it with the nun later."

With a thud, Ji Xiaofu knelt on the ground.

Old Master Ji's face darkened. "What is my daughter doing?"

"Senior brother, have some noodles."

Tang Zhihu and Yang An had not eaten breakfast. The two of them brought over bowls of noodles. Chen Yu thanked them, and the three of them found a place to sit down on a rock or a tree stump and slurp their noodles.

The sound of a teacup shattering came from a wooden building not far away, followed by Ji Xiaofu's scream.

"Father!"

Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat. It must be that the old man was forcing Ji Xiaofu to marry him, and that she had no choice but to tell him about the humiliation and loss of her virginity.

"I'll go take a look."

Chen Yu put down the bowl and leaped towards the wooden building.

Extinction had already entered before Chen Yu.

As Chen Yu entered the hall, he saw that Old Master Ji had fainted in a chair, and Ji Xiaofu was nervously pushing blood through the uterus.

"Senior sister, let me do it."

Chen Yu took over from Ji Xiaofu and helped Master Ji take his place. He placed his right hand on the Mingmen point on the back of the old man's back, and a gentle stream of Nine Yang internal energy flowed into the old man's body. After circulating for only one cycle, the old man's Adam's apple bobbed, and he slowly turned around. His eyes were first empty and vacant, and then his expression became sorrowful.

Chen Yu said to Su Mengqing and the others who entered the hall, "Senior sisters, please step aside for now."

Bei Jinyi looked at Chen Yu with confusion.

Su Mengqing, being the quickest-witted, pulled Bei Jinyi and Jingxu out of the hall without saying a word. She couldn't fathom the inside story, but she figured it must be related to Yin Liting.

Su Mengqing left the wooden building and then dispersed the Emei disciples who had rushed over.

The autumn sun shone through the window and fell on the floor, while dust drifted in a hazy mist.

Miejue asked, puzzled, "Master Ji, Xiaofu, what exactly is going on?"

"Master, let me speak to you. Please come this way."

Miejue walked into the side hall. In the living room, the old man was breathing heavily, his body trembling, and tears welling up in his eyes.

Chen Yu glanced at it but did not try to persuade the other party.

Some wounds cannot be healed.

"What exactly happened?" Miejue sat down and saw Chen Yu approaching, so she got straight to the point.

"This story begins with the girl that Master rescued from Hanyang."

"This is getting way off track."

"To put it simply, my disciple," Chen Yu said succinctly, without pouring tea for Miejue, "Does Master remember a girl named Bu Hui?"

"I remember, I saved her twice. She almost died at the hands of Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao."

"I met up with Senior Sister Ji and Junior Brother Yang. Senior Sister also asked about Bu Hui."

-

"It's not her child, why are you worrying about it?"

"What if that's the case?"

"Nonsense." Miejue blurted out, about to rebuke Chen Yu, for this concerned Ji Xiaofu's innocence and reputation, and she couldn't just talk nonsense. But then Miejue remembered Chen Yu's personality, her face stiffened, and she stared straight at him.

Chen Yu let out a soft sigh. "When Master learned of the Heavenly Eagle Sect's Panshan Conference, he sent Senior Sister and others down the mountain to inquire about Xie Xun."

"That's right."

"It was on that occasion that my senior sister encountered thieves on the way. She was no match for them and was unfortunately humiliated. She had no regrets and had no choice but to send her child to be raised in Luzhou."

boom!

With a single press of his palm, the thick wooden table shattered into pieces.

She jumped up. "Who is it?"

"Yang Xiao".

Extinction's face suddenly turned ferocious, his eyes seemed to spit fire, and the moment his fist clenched, his knuckles cracked. "It's that thief! That thief is cunning and vicious. He must know Xiaofu's identity and is using this to trick me."

"Please forgive my senior sister, Master."

"Poor disciple, what wrong has she done? Yu'er, call Xiaofu over."

"it is good."

Chen Yu walked out of the side hall and went to Ji Xiaofu. "Senior Sister, Master is calling for you."

"Ji Xiaofu's body was trembling."

"It's fine."

"Hmm." Ji Xiaofu took a deep breath, followed Chen Yu into the side hall, took two quick steps, and knelt in front of Miejue.

"Master, your disciple is unworthy."

"That fiend Yang Xiao is incredibly skilled in martial arts. You've encountered this scoundrel, what can you do against him? My poor disciple."

"I originally wanted to die to kill the demon for my sect, but after being persuaded by my junior brother, I thought that I was innocent and that's why I survived. But after this incident, how can I face my master and Yin Liuxia? I beg my master to grant me permission to become a nun."

"This isn't good either." Miejue suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Is my name Bu Hui?"

Chen Yu interjected, "Bu Hui is my childhood name. My senior sister told me that it means 'I have no regrets about being born into this world,' and she even asked me to come up with a name for myself. I thought that 'No regrets about being born into this world' means 'I have no regrets about my future.' So I suggest that my senior sister stick to using 'No Regrets.'"

"So that's how it is." Miejue felt there was nothing wrong with the name Bu Hui, so she asked Ji Xiaofu, "How did you escape Yang Xiao's clutches?"

"After my disciple was kidnapped to Kunlun Mountain, he was not free. Later, Yang Xiao's enemy came to visit, and he was able to escape."

Where exactly in Kunshan is Yang Xiao located?

"Reporting to Master, we sit and watch over the peak."

"Alright, alright, you may leave now."

"Um."

Ji Xiaofu rose, bowed, and left the room.

Miejue's expression shifted, and she looked at Chen Yu.

"This disciple knew the truth but failed to report it; please punish me, Master."

Extinction snorted coldly.

"Your disciple is willing to go to Kunlun to slay Yang Xiao."

"Can you beat him?"

"With ambition and the master's careful guidance, for every step Yang Xiao takes in martial arts, his disciple will take ten. Given time, he will surely be able to take someone's head."

Extinction snorted again, but a look of joy appeared on her face. She pondered for a moment, "What do you think of this matter, my disciple?"

"Master, please wait a moment."

Chen Yu carried the shattered wooden table to a corner, went into the hall to serve Miejue a cup of tea, and then said after deep thought, "Master Zhang hates evil as if it were his enemy, and despises evil demons and heretics to the bone."

"naturally."

"But for Zhang Wuji, Master Zhang went to great lengths to treat and prolong his life. In Master Zhang's eyes, people are inherently pure."

"Coming from purity and returning to purity, that's a good saying."

"I don't regret it either. Could it be that Master's heart is not as magnanimous as that of a true person?"

"It is comparable."

"Master is wise and virtuous. You can let Bu Hui enter the Emei sect, where she will be taught martial arts by her senior sister and disciple, and will uphold justice in the future. As for Senior Brother Yin, we will explain the situation when we go to Emei. No matter how Senior Brother treats her, Senior Sister will always be a member of Emei."

After pondering for a while, Miejue said, "Alright, you can accompany Xiaofu to Luzhou. After returning to Emei, you can go with Mengqing to Guanzhou to find the blacksmith."

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Yu felt at ease; it couldn't have been better.
