At the very beginning, Tang Chuyi declared resolutely, “I will not leave. I will stay here to protect Ye Wushuang.”
“**You?** Forget it!” Yun Xingjian retorted bluntly, “I will leave Mu Qianqian and Wei Tongtian here.”
“The rest of you four vice-presidents should go about your duties as usual,” he continued. “The more of us who stay here, the more suspicious the Five Great Clans will become.”
Tang Chuyi curled his lip, unable to find a word to say. *Damn it!* He felt utterly frustrated. He had already reached the Tiangang Realm, yet he was still being dismissed as too weak.
“Besides,” Yun Xingjian added, “with that powerful figure outside, no one would dare to make a move.” Yun Xingjian stepped out of the grand hall. Outside, on the rooftop, a towering figure, nearly a hundred feet tall, stood proudly. The giant shadow cast by the moonlight was quite terrifying as it stretched across the ground. It was Chi Yuan.
“How is he?” Chi Yuan inquired telepathically.
“Nie Jinxuan doesn’t know what’s going on either. It’s up to his own fortune,” Yun Xingjian replied. “But Nie Jinxuan will prepare some spiritual pills to help stabilize his physical body and vital energy.”
Chi Yuan fell silent for a moment. “He must not die!” he said slowly. “If he dies, you had better kill me. Otherwise… my wife and I will turn Qingyun Academy into a living hell.”
Hearing this, Yun Xingjian felt a headache coming on. Just then, from the corridor of the grand hall, a figure in a green robe, exuding an air of nonchalance, slowly emerged from behind a pillar.
“Yun Xingjian, what have you done?” The newcomer was none other than Qing Muyuan, whose tone was filled with reproach.
Qing Muyuan had three reasons for being concerned about Ye Wushuang’s safety. First, Ye Wushuang could cure Mu Junli, which was of vital importance to the royal family of the Qingyun Empire. Second, Ye Wushuang could control the Tianluo Jiugong Array, which was even more crucial. Third, Ye Wushuang had become a thorn in the side of the Five Great Clans, who would love to see her dead. However, Qing Muyuan wanted her to live. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Yun Xingjian rubbed his temples and said, “How was I supposed to know what happened? You seem to have gotten the news so quickly. It looks like the Five Great Clans are also aware of it.”
“Troublesome indeed…” he muttered. But halfway through his sentence, Yun Xingjian’s frown deepened as he looked towards the palace courtyard gate.
“Now, this is really a problem!” As he finished speaking, a figure in black slowly approached from the courtyard gate. The person had a slender figure, clear-cut features, and eyes that were filled with depth. As he walked step by step, it seemed as if the moonlight in the sky was avoiding him, and the surrounding air trembled with a chilling aura.
Seeing this figure, Chi Yuan, Qing Muyuan, and Yun Xingjian all shuddered involuntarily. “Where is Wushuang?” The newcomer strode forward and stood in front of the hall. The black-clad man, bathed in moonlight, exuded an extremely uncomfortable presence.
“*She fell into a coma somehow…*” Yun Xingjian recounted the events of the day once again. “*Golden Silkworm Gu…*” Ye Yunzhe already knew that Ye Wushuang had a Golden Silkworm Gu inside her body because she had saved Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian. But if it was not related to the Golden Silkworm Gu, then what could it be?
Ye Yunzhe entered the hall and looked at Ye Wushuang on the bed, her body as fragile as porcelain, almost shattered. His eyes were filled with heartache. He stepped out of the hall again and said, “I cannot stay away from the Ye Mansion for too long. The Five Great Clans have already sent many people to surround it.”
“However, since this happened within the Qingyun Academy, and your academy has the most skilled alchemists in the Qingyun Empire… if she does not wake up, Yun Xingjian, I believe Chi Yuan and I together can make the Qingyun Academy pay a heavy price!”
Yun Xingjian rubbed his temples once more. Why did everyone seem to be making trouble for him? Did they really think he, a master of the Wanfa Realm, had no temper?
“*I know… huh?*” But before Yun Xingjian could finish his sentence, he looked towards the hall with a puzzled expression.
