Actually, to be honest, Zhuo Lanqing was a bit careless.
After the meal was finished, when it was time to settle accounts at the Tower of Nothingness,
she decisively skipped out,
leaving the matter of reckoning to Ye Yu.
She even made a point to say that she’d been feeling unwell lately and would be away traveling for a few days.
During that time, Ye Yu should talk seriously with Shangguan Jiu about their situation.
And once she calms down, Ye Yu could call her back.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Such a request really surprised Ye Yu.
Fairy, oh fairy, when we were together before, you were fearless, the bravest of all!
Now that trouble comes, you leave me to carry it alone?
That’s a bit unkind!
And based on many dream experiences, reasoning with a woman in love is absolutely one of the stupidest things in the world.
So Ye Yu didn’t waste much breath on Zhuo Lanqing.
Firstly, he knew that since she had started to chicken out, no matter what he said, little would change.
Secondly, Zhuo Lanqing barely gave Ye Yu a chance to speak.
She finished her instructions and immediately slipped away.
Her speed was insanely fast,
even catching Ye Yu off guard.
Still, this kind of thing was really a headache.
How was he supposed to explain everything alone?
Just as Ye Yu pondered,
an excited voice sounded.
“Husband, you’re back?”
The next moment, Shangguan Jiu’s figure rushed forward and arrived before Ye Yu.
She had just emerged from seclusion.
At a glance, she recognized the spirit vessel as Zhuo Lanqing’s exclusive item and guessed that Ye Yu and Zhuo Lanqing had returned.
Seeing it was true,
Shangguan Jiu was very excited and immediately linked her arm with his.
Then looking around curiously, she asked, “Husband, why isn’t Zhuo Lanqing here? Where did she go?”
Ye Yu’s expression instantly turned complicated.
Well, this question was really sharp,
one could say it hit the bullseye.
How to answer?
To be blunt or to ease into it was worth thinking about.
“She... went out on some business and won’t be back to the sect for a while.”
Shangguan Jiu was smart and quickly sensed something was off.
She knew well Zhuo Lanqing was very loyal to the sect.
Since the Tower of Nothingness sect was established,
Zhuo Lanqing basically never left the gates,
dedicating herself to guarding the sect every day,
constantly thinking about how to develop the sect.
Such a person wouldn’t just not return to the sect, right?
“Out on business?”
Those two words felt far too hollow.
“Husband, is it really true that Zhuo Lanqing went out on business?”
Ye Yu’s eyelids twitched wildly.
The questions were getting sharper!
How to answer?
Seeing Ye Yu hesitate, Shangguan Jiu moved a bit closer again.
“You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?”
Ye Yu tensed all over.
Just as he was about to confess everything,
Shangguan Jiu’s voice trembled.
“Did something happen to her? Just tell me. I can handle it!”
“No accident, it really is business! Don’t overthink it!”
Ye Yu shook his head repeatedly.
Madam, it’s not because you say you can handle it that you really can.
I’m genuinely worried you can’t.
While the two talked,
a sharp shout echoed inside the Tower of Nothingness.
“Dare to open a dye house after I’ve shown you mercy? Do you think I’m afraid of you?”
Without doubt, that voice belonged to Bai Xichu!
Immediately, a huge building shattered with a roar.
Flashing immortal spells appeared one after another!
Within moments, a third of the Tower of Nothingness was reduced to ruins.
That destructive power was truly unmatched.
Ye Yu’s expression instantly turned cold.
They’d only been gone a few days.
Had Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling started fighting again?
They really didn’t take his words seriously!
Those two demon women were utterly lawless and needed to be dealt with properly!
Ye {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Yu leapt down from the spirit vessel,
rolled up his sleeves, and headed to the battlefield, ready to revive his fighting spirit!
Just then, a figure was flung out and happened to fall ahead.
Though angry at their behavior,
they were still flesh and blood.
He couldn’t just watch them get hurt.
So he immediately stepped forward and caught the figure.
Just as he was about to scold,
the words caught in his throat.
“Zuo Yingchun? You’ve ascended?”
Indeed, the figure was Zuo Yingchun, the immortal reincarnated from the mortal realm!
Seeing her appearance surprised Ye Yu.
Zuo Yingchun was delighted to see Ye Yu but not too shocked.
In fact, the day after Ye Yu left the Tower of Nothingness,
Zuo Yingchun ascended to the Heavenly Realm.
Her luck was indeed like a cheat code.
Her ascension point was right near the Tower of Nothingness.
Seeing the immortal sect here, she came to inquire about Ye Yu.
Unexpectedly,
just at the gate of the Tower of Nothingness,
she saw an angry Bai Miaoling walking out.
To be honest, Zuo Yingchun had often quarreled with Bai Miaoling in the mortal realm.
Though not as close as with Su Yao or Bu Lingfei,
they still recognized each other as sisters.
Meeting here in the Heavenly Realm felt like old friends reuniting in a strange land.
Their conversation became much more harmonious.
When she learned that Ye Yu had recently gone out and would return in a few days,
Zuo Yingchun was overjoyed.
Who would have thought such good luck—to find home right away!
Truly a lucky goddess!
But why was Bai Miaoling so angry?
Who had offended her in the Heavenly Realm?
Bai Miaoling explained what had happened with Bai Xichu.
Yes, indeed, Ye Yu had repeatedly warned these two demon women before leaving
not to fight anymore or face consequences.
Bai Miaoling and Bai Xichu listened.
But if they couldn’t fight, they could still argue, right?
Honestly, they really had mastered that rule.
They argued ferociously every day!
No doubt Bai Miaoling was so angry just because she lost the argument.
That was really infuriating!
Speaking of Bai Xichu, Zuo Yingchun had a strong impression of her.
Back in the mortal realm, right after Bai Miaoling ascended,
Bai Xichu came rushing over.
She was so arrogant.
Originally, Zuo Yingchun disliked her very much.
Now hearing Bai Miaoling got annoyed,
her heroic spirit surged inside,
and she pounded her palm loudly.
“Sister, I’ll settle this score for you!”
“Let me see what really happened!”
