Ignoring the little foxes following behind them, Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing wandered leisurely around the Luwu Cave Residence. Plum blossoms were planted everywhere, giving the surroundings a serene atmosphere.
They stopped at a steep staircase, and Yan Jue, visiting this place for the first time, looked around, captivated by the scene before her.
Next to the staircase was a circular platform filled with fine, dark sand, slowly cascading from its edges like flowing water.
Qi Xianqing observed, "This is Wuxian Sand."
Startled, Yan Jue looked up at her.
Qi Xianqing explained thoughtfully, "Wuxian Sand is an extremely rare resource for cultivators, supposedly extinct in the human realm. I never expected to find it here."
She continued, "Wuxian Sand has a yin attribute, and judging by the quality, it would be ideal for your cultivation, junior sister."
After a moment of hesitation, Yan Jue admitted she was tempted. Qi Xianqing, noticing her interest, softened her gaze and said, "Your ancestor cares deeply for you. If you ask her, I'm sure she'll allow it."
Yan Jue murmured, "It feels wrong to ask for something right when I see her after such a long time. I didn't even bring her a gift since I came here in such a hurry."
Qi Xianqing seemed to reflect on this.
With only a few days left before the wedding of the fox tribe's second young lady, Yan Jue's grandmother cherished her time with her, spending her days chatting. After lunch one afternoon, the two sat outside the cave to bask in the sun.
Holding Yan Jue's hand, the elderly woman spoke earnestly, "A-Jue, your father cares for you deeply. It would be best if you returned to the Ghost Mansion soon; he must be worried."
Yan Jue considered what her original self might say in response. "If I go back, what if he scolds me for being away so long?" she replied.
Her grandmother frowned, "If he dares to scold you, I won't stand for it."
Yan Jue bit her lip and smiled, keeping quiet. Inevitably, their conversation turned to Qi Xianqing.
"You and Lord Mengheng..." her grandmother began, but then, as if fearing Qi Xianqing might overhear, she lowered her voice to a whisper in Yan Jue's ear.
She hesitated. "You agreed to return to Luwu... Are you sure Lord Mengheng didn't coerce you into it? Even though I'm old, with the help of everyone here, we could still deal with one cultivator. If there's anything amiss, just tell me!"
Yan Jue gave a helpless smile, sensing her grandmother's continuing distrust of Qi Xianqing.
They had recently received a warning that someone from the demon sect might attempt something during the upcoming wedding. Yan Jue knew it would be challenging to convince her grandmother to believe this news.
After her grandmother left, Yan Jue used her spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, noting that every corner with a trace of demonic presence had a pavilion of the Myriad Demon Guild. Naturally, the Luwu Mountains had one nearby.
Curious, she mentioned the Myriad Demon Guild to Qi Xianqing and asked if she'd like to explore it together. The guild had special meaning to Yan Jue, as it was the place where she received her first opportunity.
Since Qi Xianqing had taken a pill to conceal her aura, it should be safe for her to enter. But remembering the allergic reaction Qi Xianqing had a few days ago, Yan Jue hesitated.
