Zhao Yulong's expression became extremely ugly as Zhou Youwei spoke.
Was Zhou Youwei essentially saying that he wasn't even comparable to Ye Xuan?!
"My wife makes sense," he said.
Just then, Ye Xuan, who had been sitting and meditating nearby, slowly opened his eyes and smiled as he looked at Zhou Youwei.
"Ye Xuan!" Zhao Yulong's face turned extremely unsightly. Murderous intent spread in his heart, but at the same time, there was a flicker of fear.
"Yulong, Youwei has just awakened. Let's discuss these matters after Youwei's condition has stabilized," Jiang Jing said, trying to smooth things over. "Bingyi, you take Yulong to reside in the Heavens Cloud Hall first."
Regardless, Zhao Yulong was the Saint Heir of Luotian Sacred Land. Openly falling out would not be good news for the Emperor Immortal Sect.
Zhou Bingyi stood up, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Let's go, Zhao Yulong."
Zhao Yulong looked at Zhou Youwei, his eyes filled with reluctance.
However, at that moment, Zhou Youwei turned her head to look at Ye Xuan, her bright eyes showing a hint of astonishment, startled by Ye Xuan's sudden remark.
This scene made Zhao Yulong clench his fist, his teeth grinding audibly, but in the end, he restrained his rage and forced a strained smile, saying, "Youwei, rest well. I will visit you again tomorrow."
No sooner had Zhao Yulong spoken than Ye Xuan's voice leisurely came, "Don't bother, my wife is under my care."
At those words, Zhao Yulong's face turned the color of liver, his nails digging deep into his palms. He squinted at Ye Xuan, his tone ominously calm, "I hope you can stay so arrogant forever..."
With that, Zhao Yulong turned and left. If he stayed any longer in this place, he would surely burst with rage because of that damn Ye Xuan!
"With that attitude, it's clear he'll never achieve anything great," Ye Xuan shook his head, appearing to speak profoundly.
His demeanor was like that of a con artist.
However, Wu Jingshan beside him said with a laugh, "The overall strength of Luotian Sacred Land is not bad, but choosing Zhao Yulong as their Saint Heir, if one said there was no underhand dealings, nobody would believe it."
As Zhao Yulong reached the entrance of the cave, his body trembled slightly, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood as he fled from the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion.
"Luotian Sacred Land? Nothing but chickens and dogs," Ye Xuan said with a casual smile, unconcerned.
He had never heard of Luotian Sacred Land; it seemed to be just a small, obscure place tucked away in a corner.
On the other hand, the Emperor Immortal Sect had significant connections with him.
Yet, Ye Xuan's words made Wu Jingshan unable to help but feel embarrassed.
Jiang Jing also frowned.
Though you saved Youwei, that doesn't give you the right to belittle Luotian Sacred Land so freely, considering that Luotian Sacred Land was still much stronger than the Emperor Immortal Sect.
Although she thought so, Jiang Jing didn't speak out, especially since if not for Ye Xuan, her daughter Youwei might really have been lost.
"Youwei, how are you feeling now?" Jiang Jing changed the subject.
Zhou Youwei shifted her gaze, and after a thorough self-examination, her expression mixed with a hint of surprise and delight, "I feel... very good, better than ever before."
Had the fire poison that had been in her body all this while been completely eradicated?
Instantly, Zhou Youwei turned to Wu Jingshan, who was next to Ye Xuan, and bowed with clasped hands, her voice gentle, "Thank you, Elder Wu Jingshan, for your rescue. I am forever indebted."
Just as she finished speaking, Wu Jingshan and Jiang Jing were momentarily stunned, then both showed a touch of embarrassment.
Wu Jingshan hurriedly said, "Youwei, you flatter me too much. It was not I who acted to save you just now, but your husband, Mr. Ye Xuan."
As he spoke, Wu Jingshan also bowed to Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan?" Zhou Youwei's eyes widened in astonishment, staring blankly at Ye Xuan, who was assessing her. Bingyi had also said it was Ye Xuan who saved her, and now Elder Wu also stated the same. Could it really be true?
She had been married to Ye Xuan for a year; no one knew more about Ye Xuan's background than her.
He had come from a small and remote city in Southern Domain Yun Country. Since the age of eleven, he had been mentally challenged, unclear and unable to cultivate.
Although it seemed that Ye Xuan had regained his senses now, it couldn't possibly have been him who cured her.
Ye Xuan gave Zhou Youwei a displeased look and said irritably, "It hurts my heart that you doubt me, my dear wife, after I kindly saved you."
"Youwei, it really was Ye Xuan who saved you," Jiang Jing testified from the side. Previously, she too hadn't believed Ye Xuan could manage it, but Ye Xuan truly did, a fact that could not be denied.
Jiang Jing patiently explained the event to Zhou Youwei, especially when it came to the concept of Dual Souls, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Xuan with a curious look.
After listening, Zhou Youwei stared at Ye Xuan, suddenly feeling as though she was meeting him for the first time.
She genuinely couldn't understand how Ye Xuan had saved her; it was baffling and felt unreal.
However, whether it was Master Wu or her mother, both confirmed that it was indeed Ye Xuan who had rescued her—they had no reason to lie to her.
The fact was, Ye Xuan had saved her!
In Zhou Youwei's beautiful eyes, there was an unusual gleam as she softly opened her lips and whispered, "Thank you, Ye Xuan."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's lips curled into a smile, his eyes tenderly conveyed, "Between us, there's no need for thanks."
In a year at Emperor Immortal Sect, only Zhou Youwei treated him like true kin, always the first to attempt to restore his sanity upon his return from seclusion, despite every attempt ending in failure...
But these instances had etched themselves deep into Ye Xuan's memory.
This woman indeed treated him sincerely.
"Between us, there's no need for thanks..." Zhou Youwei murmured, her smooth cheeks suddenly blooming into a faint smile that in an instant brightened Mystic Ice Cave Mansion, even making the Ice Lotus in the nearby Ice Lake seem pale in comparison.
Exquisitely beautiful.
Ye Xuan was a bit mesmerized.
Once, there was a woman, beautiful and talented, to whom Ye Xuan had given his heart, only to be met with betrayal.
That person was Changxi, known as Empress Changxi...
And that ungrateful Mu Yun!
Those two traitors!
At the thought, a hint of murderous intent rose in Ye Xuan's heart.
"Sir, about that matter we discussed earlier..." Wu Jingshan rubbed his hands together, somewhat nervously said.
Ye Xuan came back to his senses, lifted his eyelids, glanced at Wu Jingshan, and spoke slowly, "Considering you had good intentions of trying to save my wife, I shall discuss it with you."
"The five major points on your body, Heavenly Gate, Divine Palace, Giant Valley, Hundred Meetings, Kunlun, all have issues. As for what those issues are, I need not elaborate, as you surely know better."
"And the method is quite simple, you just need to take the corresponding elixirs—Heavenly Spirit, Divine Entrance, Light Soul. Take these three kinds of pills together for just seven days to remove them."
"Also, remember to sunbathe more, don't stay cooped up indoors all the time," Ye Xuan casually reminded.
This conversation left Jiang Jing and Zhou Youwei somewhat dumbfounded.
Heavenly Spirit, Divine Entrance, Light Soul—these three types of Spiritual Pill Level elixirs were unknown even by name to ordinary cultivators. When did Ye Xuan learn about these?
Wu Jingshan, greatly excited, bowed respectfully and said, "Many thanks, sir, for granting me this method!"
"No need for thanks, just give me some Qi Condensing Pills," Ye Xuan waved his hand and said, inspecting the Taoist Body was the real importance, he hadn't forgotten that.
"Eh? Qi Condensing Pills?!" This left Jiang Jing, Wu Jingshan, and Zhou Youwei all utterly astonished.
"Yes, yes, sir! As many as you need!" Wu Jingshan hurriedly took out a pile of Jade Bottles.
"One bottle is enough," Ye Xuan only took one Jade Bottle, then waved his hand, "Alright, you all go out now, I have something to discuss with Youwei."
"Yes, sir!" Wu Jingshan respectfully moved to the utmost, directly retreating.
Jiang Jing and Zhou Youwei bid goodbye and also left the cave mansion.
This made Zhou Youwei feel even more incredulous.
Master Wu was one thing, but how could even her mother's attitude toward Ye Xuan become so gentle?
In the past, her mother would have inevitably cursed Ye Xuan, yet now when Ye Xuan asked her to leave, she actually did so?
Very strange...
Zhou Youwei looked strangely at Ye Xuan.
