“I’m fine, stop crying now!”
The white-robed immortal sat up, wincing slightly in pain. She pinched Yino’s cheeks with her hands, her cold eyes filled with both resentment and a hint of tenderness.
She stared at him, and within three seconds, the tears in Yino’s eyes stopped.
The young man controlled his emotions so quickly that it caught Yuyan off guard. She felt he should have hugged her tightly and cried a bit more after seeing she was alright.
But he followed Yuyan’s order, and now that he truly stopped crying, Yuyan had nothing to say.
“Is this okay, Senior Sister?”
Yino looked at the slightly fierce-looking Yuyan, his mouth still pinched by her.
Hearing his words, Yuyan thought of something and quickly withdrew her hands that were pinching the young man’s lips.
“Alright, now is not the time to relax.”
Yuyan sighed and propped herself up with her hands, trying to stand up again.
But soon, she felt a soul-piercing pain in her inner thighs. At the same time, the internal injuries in her chest from the Annihilation Breath also nearly caused Yuyan to fall.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Yino wrapped his arm around her waist.
“Senior Sister… you should rest first.”
After some consideration, Yino put his arm around her shoulders, letting her lean against his chest. His eyes were filled with worry as he advised her.
But Yino’s concern was not entirely for Yuyan. He was also worried about whether Gu Wanglan could escape tonight.
Luckily, Yuyan couldn’t stand up now. If she really caught up to Gu Wanglan, it would be a bit troublesome for Yino.
After all, letting Gu Wanglan leave alive was still very valuable.
At the very least, he could be used as a scapegoat.
If Gu Wanglan left his corpse in the mountain temple, and Yuyan later called an elder skilled in soul magic to examine the body, only to find that Gu Wanglan didn’t have Chen Jianxin’s innate holy sword body, how could that be explained? How could a perfectly good innate sword dao body just disappear after being sacrificed?
So for Yino, Gu Wanglan’s greatest remaining value was to take the blame.
If possible, Yino even wanted to directly drag Gu Wanglan onto the altar and sacrifice him too. That way, after the Mother Goddess of Life devoured him, not even ashes would remain. Yino could then claim that Gu Wanglan ran away, leaving no evidence.
But the problem was that Yuyan was lying not far from the entrance of the mountain temple. If Yino wanted to sacrifice Gu Wanglan, he would inevitably have to ascend the altar, which Yuyan would definitely witness.
But apart from sacrificing him, Yino didn’t have any other good means to destroy the corpse.
If he wanted to kill Gu Wanglan, it would be hard to avoid leaving traces at the scene. If he didn’t clean it up thoroughly and the Wuji Sect elders who arrived later discovered any clues, it would be truly inexplicable.
So, all things considered, Yino knew his Foundation Establishment cultivation wasn’t enough. He chose the simplest option of letting the tiger return to the mountain.
If Gu Wanglan wanted to run, he could run. It didn’t matter where he died, as long as it wasn’t in Wuji Sect!
“But…”
“Gu Wanglan’s fate is sealed. If we don’t chase after him now, he’ll inevitably cause trouble in the future after escaping back to Full Moon Cult!”
Yuyan leaned against Yino’s embrace, feeling the young man’s nervous heartbeat. While seriously analyzing the situation, and she couldn’t hide the slight blush that rose on her cheeks.
In her twenty-some years of cultivation, this was truly the first time Yuyan had miserably clung to a man’s chest.
She also tried to get up and break free, but whenever she slightly twisted her hips, her inner thighs would cramp in pain. The arms and shoulders held by Yino had no strength, and her entire body was as limp as if she had muscle atrophy, completely unable to resist in Yino’s embrace.
However, Yuyan wasn’t worried about Yino taking advantage of her.
After interacting for so long, Yuyan knew very well that Yino was simply young and a bit vigorous, not a true lecher, let alone someone who would commit the despicable act of taking advantage of her in a crisis.
Yuyan just felt that she had lost a lot of face tonight.
She was clearly the senior sister Yino admired most in his heart, but in the end, Yino crushed the jade pendant right in Wuji Sect’s headquarters. Not only did Yuyan fail to come to his rescue for a long time, but when she finally arrived, she couldn’t even defeat Gu Wanglan, a former subordinate she had beaten before! Instead, she was severely injured by Gu Wanglan and had now become Yino’s burden!
Thinking of this, Yuyan’s beautiful eyes drooped. She lightly bit her red lips, her expression filled with self-blame and guilt.
She somewhat detested that self-righteous Destined Daughter from the past…
She had thought she could easily defeat Gu Wanglan and then effortlessly bring Yino back to Ranmo Peak!
With the current situation, forget about Yuyan taking Yino home. She estimated that Yino would have to carry her up Ranmo Peak on his back.
“Senior Sister, if you really can’t let it go, how about I go chase after Gu Wanglan?”
At some point, Yino suddenly spoke up.
He raised his head to look into the depths of the forest, a trace of coldness flashing imperceptibly in his eyes.
But soon, Yuyan reached out and grabbed his arm. “Forget it, you’re only at the Foundation Establishment. It’s too dangerous for you… Besides, the aftermath of the earlier battle was so great that it must have already alerted the sect elders. It won’t be long before Sect’s elders seal off the back mountain.”
“But Gu Wanglan is already at the end of his rope. Even if I’m only at Foundation Establishment, there shouldn’t be a problem giving him one last strike!”
Yino gritted his teeth, still unwilling to give up.
His eyes held a trace of unwillingness and murderous intent, but only a small part of it was for avenging his senior sister. The vast majority was Yino’s worry that the old cripple Gu Wanglan couldn’t run far.
Thinking about how the Sect elders and cultivators were about to arrive, Yino suddenly felt a bit regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have directly carried Gu Wanglan on his back and sent him out of the back mountain to ensure foolproof success before coming back to check on his senior sister’s injuries.
“Alright, don’t get angry at a dying man…”
Seeing the hidden murderous intent in the young man’s eyes, Yuyan couldn’t help but sigh. She consoled Yino in a gentle tone.
In fact, Yuyan rationally still supported Yino’s idea of finishing Gu Wanglan off. But after experiencing the feeling of the young man going missing once, now that they were finally reunited, Yuyan was really worried that something would happen to him if he went out alone again. So emotionally, she couldn’t help but tightly grasp Yino’s arm.
“Yino, just stay and take care of your injured senior sister…”
“Okay?”
At this point, Yuyan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
She had actually noticed her heart softening long ago. Because when she looked into the young man’s eyes filled with deep obsession, for a moment, Yuyan seemed to see her younger self who was determined to avenge her clansmen.
But now, that she, full of hatred had grown up.
Instead, she had become the senior sister the young man cared about from the bottom of his heart…
“Senior Sister is right. If I leave now, what if that bastard Gu Wanglan circles back and takes advantage of the situation to do something to Senior Sister?”
“Sorry Senior Sister, I was inconsiderate.”
Yino took a deep breath and inwardly clicked his tongue.
His tone was still filled with anger and hatred, but he wasn’t truly worried about Gu Wanglan coming back to ambush Yuyan. He was worried that if the old cripple Gu Wanglan was really caught by the Wuji Sect elders, it would be troublesome!
“…”
Yuyan watched the young man’s angry and uneasy eyes while listening to his thoughtful concern for her. Her breathing quickened slightly. She had only asked him to stay and take care of her, but she hadn’t considered the possibility of Gu Wanglan circling back to ambush them.
It showed how thorough Yino’s thinking was…

If Yino wasn’t here and Gu Wanglan appeared now, Yuyan wasn’t sure she could fend him off in her current state.
“Don’t worry, Senior Sister. Even if Gu Wanglan escapes tonight, once I’ve improved my cultivation, I’ll personally go to Full Moon Cult and get revenge for you!”
Yino eyes were determined as he spoke, holding Yuyan in his arms even tighter.
Of course, he wasn’t just doing it to avenge his senior sister.
If tonight’s plan went smoothly, Gu Wanglan would be confirmed guilty of stealing the sword dao holy body. When Yino went to kill Gu Wanglan later, it would be legal and righteous! freewebnσvel.cѳm
But the more murderous Yino’s tone became, the more uneasy Yuyan in his arms felt.
“Alright… I believe you…”
