Because of Ye Xuan’s disappearance, almost all of the Tai Qing Sect’s forces were mobilized.
Although they knew that Ye Xuan was elusive and liked to be alone, he had never disappeared for a day and a night like this, and there was no news from him at all. Everyone almost thought that he had met with an accident.
Han Yue sent more people to search the nearby area, but there were still no clues on Ye Xuan’s whereabouts. There were still a few elders on Shen Hai’s side who were not on good terms with Ye Xuan, so they were instantly quite happy about it.
The second elder said sarcastically, “Elder Ye is so rich and generous. He didn’t restrain himself even when he was in the capital. Perhaps he’s been targeted by someone with ill intentions.”
The third elder chimed in, “Exactly. How many times have I told him to keep a low profile outside? In the end, he must have gone too far.”
Some of the elders who had enough of it couldn’t help but say, “Can you guys stop making such sarcastic remarks at a time like this?”
“Elder Ye is a great hero of the Tai Qing Sect. Without him, how could the Tai Qing Sect be what it is today? It’s fine if you don’t feel grateful, but you’re even saying such things now. You all are truly ungrateful.”
“We’re just telling the truth. How are we ungrateful?”
Han Yue’s expression grew icier and icier as she saw the crowd quarreling. Just as she was about to speak, a male voice came from the sky, “It’s already so late at night, why aren’t you all resting? What are all of you quarreling about?”
Under the night sky, a figure slowly approached like a ghost. It was Ye Xuan, who everyone was worried about.
Many disciples saw Ye Xuan and quickly asked with concern, “Elder Ye, are you alright? We haven’t seen you for so long, we thought you’d met with some mishap.”
The smiles on the faces of the second elder and the others gradually faded, as if they were disappointed to see Ye Xuan return safely. However, Shen Hai said calmly, “Elder Ye, where have you been? Everyone was very concerned about you and had been looking for you for a long time.”
He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Ye Xuan was surrounded by a faint smell of blood as if he was injured. Shen Hai’s suspicious eyes swept over Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan shook his head. His expression was so calm that no one could see anything wrong with it. He replied, “It’s nothing. Thank you for your concern. I just went out for a walk.”
Shen Hai always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Han Yue, on the other hand, was deep in thought.
She took a step forward and said, “Alright, since Elder Ye has returned safely, everyone should disperse. Rest early, recuperate, and prepare for the sect returning ceremony in five days.”
Since Han Yue had spoken, the elders and disciples all returned to their rooms. Just as Ye Xuan was about to leave, she suddenly called out to him, “Ye Xuan, you stay.”
After saying this, she turned and walked out of the door, and Ye Xuan followed her.
Shen Hai, Xie Yixuan, and the others looked at the two of them with jealousy in their eyes. Someone voiced, “Why did the sect master call this kid out alone again? Is she giving him special treatment? ”
Although Han Yue looked cold and unreasonable and treated all disciples and elders equally, they could see that the way she treated Ye Xuan was different from others.
Xie Yixuan clenched his fists subconsciously, the veins on his hands popping out. He glared at Ye Xuan’s figure and turned to return to his room.
On the other side, Ye Xuan followed Han Yue out. Seeing that there was no one around, she stopped and set up another barrier.
“What happened to you today?”
Han Yue’s cold eyes reflected the crescent moon in the sky, like a silver river flowing in the bottom of her eyes. She looked even more pure and flawless, and people would even believe it if someone said she was a fairy from the moon.
Ye Xuan felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. It was as though she could see through everything. He subconsciously avoided Han Yue’s eyes and replied, “Nothing happened.”
Han Yue suddenly came so close to him that their breaths were entangled. Ye Xuan could faintly smell a delicate fragrance that made him intoxicated.
Looking at her sudden movement, Ye Xuan was stunned. Her devastatingly beautiful face was so close to him, and her otherworldly beauty brought an even greater impact on his senses.
It was as if Han Yue’s soft, juicy peach-like lips would touch him if she got a little closer.
For some reason, Ye Xuan felt his mouth go dry. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and say, “Although you are the sect leader, I am a man of principles. I refuse to abide by the unspoken rules–”
Without waiting for him to finish, Han Yue looked at him as if he was an id*ot. She asked “What unspoken rules? What are you thinking?”
She quickly pulled away, as if the flirtatious moment just now was just an illusion. Her face still had a cold, unapproachable expression, which made Ye Xuan a little embarrassed.
Han Yue frowned and glanced at Ye Xuan. She commented, “I smell a special scent on you.”
Ye Xuan was a little embarrassed. After all this time, he had thought too much and almost thought that Han Yue was interested in him. Fortunately, he didn’t say anything out of line.
“So, you wanted to smell it more clearly?”
“What else?”
Ye Xuan laughed awkwardly, “You’re so funny, sect master.”
He tried to crack a joke, but Han Yue was not so easy to fool. She said, “Your breathing is unstable. You must have been seriously injured before. What happened?”
Ye Xuan hesitated about whether he should tell Han Yue about the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. Although he believed in Han Yue’s character, the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram was not an ordinary item.
“It’s nothing, just a minor conflict outside.”
Han Yue raised her eyebrows and asked, “A minor conflict?”
Obviously, she didn’t believe Ye Xuan’s words. Seeing that he didn’t want to say it, Han Yue wasn’t going to force him. Thus, she just said meaningfully, “Take good care of your things.”
