Chapter 639: Don't Be So Stiff
Chapter 639: Don’t Be So Stiff
Shenyi wasn’t being stiff out of politeness.
Because, in this group, there were truly a few people she hadn’t seen for a long time.
For example, the young girl she met in Baiyun County, whom she last saw when Yu Tianji took Xuanqing Senior away, and the other came looking for her.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and they barely had time to chat.
There were also a few fellow disciples from Wutong Mountain, as well as the Xu family who had helped her with the construction of the Great Qian array.
She had been in such a hurry that she couldn’t linger, but these people had stayed on that road, making it as smooth as possible for her.
Seeing them again now, she felt a mix of joy.
The Divine Kingdom was good in that it could accommodate these beings with low cultivation.
This allowed Shenyi to greet them without rushing, taking the time to exchange a few words.
"..."
The group’s expressions were complex, originally not daring to even greet her, given her current complicated situation. They weren’t worried about being implicated, but rather about becoming a burden to this young man.
However, with just a few words,
The group’s faces instantly brightened, a familiar sense of reassurance filling their hearts.
Lin Baiwei cautiously loosened her elder sister Jiang’s sleeve, stepped out of the crowd, and walked to Shenyi’s side, somewhat shy.
Her nose twitched, eyes closed, and she gently inhaled.
It was that familiar, slightly bloodstained scent.
It felt like she was back in that cramped, dimly lit room, waiting for the old wooden door to creak open, for the young man to return with food, and the lingering smell of freshly spilled blood.
In that short, unforgettable month,
"I missed you."
Lin Baiwei’s eyes closed, her voice barely audible.
As she spoke, a slender, long-fingered hand already rested on her head, gently rubbing it.
The girl’s face flushed with a mix of shyness and contentment.
She opened her eyes, raised her hand, and a golden bell dangled from her fingertips, her eyes filled with anticipation.
In just a few short years, she had ascended to become a Golden Bell Exorcist, indicating she had reached the Core Formation Realm. Compared to Shenyi, this was nothing, but it was her limit.
She wanted him to know that even though she was moving slowly, she was always striving to catch up.
"I want to give it to you." Lin Baiwei’s voice grew softer, almost afraid to look at the young man in front of her.
"..."
Shenyi paused for a moment, withdrew his hand, took the bell from her, and hung it on his waist, tying it securely. "Thank you."
Lin Baiwei smiled, satisfied, waved, and turned back to the crowd.
She knew she wasn’t the only one thinking of Brother Shenyi.
And he still had a lot on his plate.
"It doesn’t seem like what you described, Brother." Zixian elbowed her elder brother, looking doubtful.
At first, she boasted about becoming a high-ranking official in the Divine Kingdom, then about the vast Shenzhou, which was no less than Hongze, and had to be approached step by step.
So why was Shen Zongzhu served by Celestial Officials?
"Why are you comparing me to him? Why don’t you compare yourself to him?" Ziyang looked ahead, equally puzzled.
Wasn’t the gap between a Rain Prayer Officer and a Cloud Walker so great?
In front of the Earth God Temple, Meng Xiuwen fell silent, glancing at Min Zhiyan beside him. One was the former Demon Slayer of Jianyang Prefecture, the other was the Earth God who had governed the region for a long time.
Someone might be able to fool their ears and eyes, but it was impossible for so many to appear out of nowhere.
"It can’t be real, right?"
Meng Xiuwen rubbed his temples, having never seen such a peculiar cultivator.
But from what he saw just now, he already believed most of it.
Min Zhiyan didn’t respond, his eyes lingering on the bell Shen Yi had tied to his waist. The careful action of the young man had made him see a bit of "humanity" rather than a harbinger of disaster.
He shook his head, took a step forward, and waved over two young disciples, "Bring the register from that day, let me take another look."
As expected of a being who surpasses other land gods by a rank, after a quick scan, he had a clear understanding of the affiliations of this group. With a few strokes of his brush, he wrote down the names of Immortal Sects or government offices behind each name.
Min Zhiyan stepped forward and handed the register to Shen Yi for review, "I'll have the disciples prepare the recommendation letters shortly. There should be a response within three days or so."
"The old man is just a land god, and he doesn't have much influence. I can only help them find a suitable place to settle down. As for how far they can go, it depends on their own fortune."
"Thank you, Land God."
Shen Yi returned the register and nodded slightly in gratitude.
As they watched the Land God return to the temple, the group from Nanhong revealed expressions of surprise. Having just arrived in an unfamiliar place, it was inevitable that they would feel a bit lost, and their anxious hearts finally settled at this moment.
As expected of Lord Shen, he didn't even need to speak personally, and he easily resolved this matter!
"I know you don't want to hand him over to General Yan Lan for punishment."
Back in the temple, Min Zhiyan sighed and turned to Meng Xiuwen. This Meng guy was a bit of a mess, but he was truly loyal. He had caused quite a few troubles because of this, which delayed his promotion.
"Trust me once more. As long as this group of people are in the Divine Kingdom, this person will not have the intention to cause trouble."
"Hey! You're acting like a good person now, but who was it that asked me to keep an eye on him in the first place?"
Meng Xiuwen rolled his eyes, trying to hide his embarrassment at being seen through.
After the two Immortal disciples respectfully sent the group of outsiders back to Jianyang Prefecture, he turned and pushed open the door, glancing at Ye Jing, who had been quietly waiting outside. Seeing the girl's complex expression, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Ye Jing forced a smile and stood there, looking dazed.
Meng Xiuwen didn't have the heart to deal with these matters now. He quickly walked up to Shen Yi, "Lord Shen, that person is almost here."
Compared to the previous incident at Jade Dragon Sect, this time at White Cloud Cave, they directly gave them a thorough cleansing. Every cultivator involved in the Golden Jade incident was eliminated, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they had wiped out the entire sect.
"When you speak later, don't be so harsh. We don't want to be unreasonable."
Meng Xiuwen rubbed his palms, feeling strange as he spoke these words, which others had often said to him in the past.
He leaned closer to Shen Yi and whispered, "She's really strong. It's better not to provoke her."
If it came to a fight, he knew he wouldn't stand a chance.
Meng Xiuwen quickly straightened up, looking like an obedient disciple.
Ye Lan still maintained her usual cool demeanor, her face revealing no emotions. Dressed in a white male robe, she walked with a crisp and decisive stride.
She kept her gaze forward, not even glancing at her own sister.
However, when she reached the Land God Temple, although she was tall, she was still slightly shorter than Shen Yi.
But at this moment, standing before Shen Yi, there was a hint of dominance in her posture. Ye Lan looked directly at the new Demon-Slaying Officer, her voice carrying a chill.
"If I remember correctly..."
"You promised me that you would take care of him."
"..."
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Meng Xiuwen, recalling his earlier reminder, "He's quite honest."
He wasn't a fool, and there was no way he would show a stern face to his superior.
"Honest?" Ye Lan narrowed her eyes, "Honest enough to bring a cleansing to White Cloud Cave?"
Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, looking at her directly, and said calmly, "That was my doing."
Upon hearing this, Meng Xiuwen slapped his forehead.
Damn it! I already said it!
