Chapter 101

Seeing Mu Yanyu’s emotions getting more agitated, Xu Nian almost lost control and ran over to hug and cry with her.

But in the next second, her fingers were tightly grasped.

Xu Nian snapped back to reality. Oh no, she remembered, she was supposed to be in a state of “amnesia.” How could she recognize Mu Yanyu? That would give everything away, and she hadn’t yet devised a strategy to deal with this.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Ji Yuebai looking in Mu Yanyu’s direction too. Panicking, she frantically gestured to Mu Yanyu, signaling her not to come over just yet. She would find her later.

Fortunately, despite not having seen each other for a long time, their understanding of each other remained. Although Mu Yanyu didn’t understand why Xu Nian wanted her to stay away, she trusted that Xu Nian had her reasons. Thus, she stopped her approach, pretending to be busy with something else.

Xu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head sneakily to glance at Ji Yuebai, only to be caught in the act.

Ji Yuebai’s cool, black eyes swept across Xu Nian’s face, “What’s wrong, Ah Nian?”

Feeling guilty, Xu Nian shook her head, “Nothing.”

Fortunately, Ji Yuebai didn’t press further. With Sect Leader Xue Zhengping seriously injured and unable to command, and the other elders lacking both the authority and strength of Ji Yuebai, the affairs of the sect now rested entirely on her shoulders.

In just that short while, scouts hurried to Ji Yuebai to report on the retreating demonic cultivators.

Before attending to sect matters, Ji Yuebai made sure to take Xu Nian back to her cave dwelling, reassuring her of its safety, stating that no one in Tian Yuan Sect would dare to intrude.

It seemed she hadn’t discovered that Xu Nian had left the illusion.

So, after Ji Yuebai left, Xu Nian slipped out and made her way to Mu Yanyu’s cave.

Upon entering, she was immediately engulfed in a bear hug and bombarded with accusations.

“Xu Nian, you heartless snake! Not only did you not miss me, but you also abandoned your spirit stones?”

Xu Nian quickly soothed her, patting Mu Yanyu’s back, “I came to find you as soon as I got back.”

But Mu Yanyu was relentless, “Months ago, when Ji Yuebai returned to the sect alone, I asked her about you. But she refused to tell me anything, saying that you couldn’t meet us at that time.”

“I even thought she was playing a trick on me, just to prevent me from seeing you.”

“No matter how much I pressed her, she wouldn’t say a word. Now that you’re back, Xu Nian, you owe me an explanation. What exactly happened?”

Dizzy from Mu Yanyu’s shaking, Xu Nian firmly held her arms, “Calm down, it’s a long story. Let me explain it slowly.”

Mu Yanyu looked at her in surprise, “Wow, Xu Nian, you’ve become so eloquent after a year.”

But she didn’t interrupt, listening intently as Xu Nian recounted everything, starting from the self-explosion of the Immortalization demonic cultivator, through the adventures in the Eastern Sea secret realm with the rabbit demon, the Qingxuan King Snake clan, and the legacy of the Water Moon Butterfly’s illusion techniques…

Mu Yanyu’s expression shifted from disbelief to shock, and then to awe.

Mu Yanyu patted her chest in astonishment, “Ji Yuebai never told me about all this. It’s really fortunate that you two were able to escape from the detestable Qingxuan King Snake clan.”
