When the people of the Linghua faction saw that Di Beiming had brought Yun Chujiu back, they could not help but be overjoyed. Just as they were about to ask about what had happened, they realized that something was wrong with Yun Chujiu.
This little girl had completely lost her usual liveliness. Her face was deathly silent, and her eyes were fixated on nothing. There was no focus at all.
“Young master Di, Little Jiu, what happened?”
Di Beiming said in a low voice, “Zhuo Piaoyu sent people to kill several people from the Yun family and then kidnapped Little Jiu’s grandfather. After Little Jiu rescued them and destroyed the Zhuo family, she became like this.”
What?!
Everyone from the Linghua sect was shocked beyond words!
They wanted to ask for more details, but when they saw Di Beiming’s stern expression, they had no choice but to swallow their words.
Di Beiming gritted his teeth and repeated what Yun Chujiu had said before she became like this. Then he asked, “Elder Qi, why do you think Little Jiu has become like this?”
After Elder Qi checked Yun Chujiu’s pulse, he said, “Sigh! Little Jiu has fallen into a trance. Other than herself, no one can help her!”
Di Beiming had no choice but to bring Yun Chujiu back to Yun Chujiu’s courtyard. He also sent a message to An Feng, asking him to bring Yun Xiaotian over. He wanted to see if he could help Yun Chujiu get rid of her mental demons.
Although the injuries on Yun Xiaotian’s body were terrifying, they were all superficial. After consuming the medicinal pills and resting, he had already recovered. When he saw Yun Chujiu in such a state, he could not help but shed tears. How could such a good granddaughter suddenly become a bloodthirsty demon?!
“Little Jiu, do you think that you have implicated us? Silly child, why would you think that way? Cultivators always fight. No matter what kind of hardships they bring, it is the only way to become stronger.”
“If it weren’t for you, Our Yun family would still be a frog at the bottom of a well in Ye city. How could your fourth brother and the others enter a big sect like the Linghua sect? We didn’t even dare to dream about it in the past!”
“Silly child, while we enjoy the glory you bring us, we must also bear the risks and responsibilities. How could we blame you?”
Di Beiming could not help but feel a deep respect for Yun Xiaotian. Although this old man’s spiritual power was low and he was not related to Little Jiu by blood, he cared more for Little Jiu than he did for his own granddaughter. Moreover, it was rare for him to be sensible.
When Yun Chujiu heard Yun Xiaotian’s words, she seemed to be moved. Two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
Di Beiming’s heart relaxed. Little Jiu was crying. Was the knot in her heart opened?
Yun Xiaotian thought so too. Who would have thought that although Yun Chujiu’s eyes were no longer blank, she still did not say a word other than eating and sleeping. She was like a puppet.
It was not good for Yun Xiaotian to further preoccupy the Linghua sect. There were still a lot of matters to deal with at the Yun mansion, so he left soon after. Di Beiming asked An Feng to mobilize ten secret guards of the Temple of Immortals to protect Yun mansion so that this incident would not happen again.
Di Beiming saw that Yun Chujiu’s usually bright eyes had now become dull, and the regret in his heart spread. If he had not thought it through and recalled the secret guards from the Temple of Immortals, if he had not kept his promise, Black Thing would not have become like this. It was all his fault!
Originally, Di Beiming did not think that it was a big deal that he did not come to celebrate Yun Chujiu’s birthday. It was just a birthday, so what harm could it do from missing it?
Although at this moment, he still did not understand why Yun Chujiu would have such a big reaction just because he broke the promise, but he had already made up his mind. In the future, even if there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire in the way, as long as he agreed to Blackie, he would do it!
