Late at night.
Within a mountain range.
Zhu Diezhen looked at Wei Aoshu with excitement and asked softly, "Did he really say that?"
"Master, Ye Yu did indeed reply in that way. He said he didn't know what happened and casually used the Soul Capturing Technique of our Ten Thousand Souls Hall."
"He was also quite surprised by it. At that time, he was only in the early Foundation Establishment stage, while I was already in the Golden Core stage."
"To prevent me from exposing him, he had to lie and claim he was also an undercover agent for the Ten Thousand Souls Hall."
Wei Aoshu lowered her head slightly, feeling something was not quite right inside, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly what.
A smile appeared on Zhu Diezhen's face.
Now she could be certain.
This Ye Yu was indeed the one she had been longing to find.
After mastering the complete set of Ten Thousand Souls Technique, the one Ye Yu liked the most and was best at using was the Soul Capturing Technique.
Now that he could perform it, it was perfectly normal.
As for the memory loss, although she still couldn't figure out the situation for now, Zhu Diezhen was confident she could help Ye Yu recall every bit of their past together.
They would continue their journey together.
Wei Aoshu furrowed her brow slightly, asking softly, "Master, what should we do about Ye Yu pretending to be an undercover agent?"
"I feel he probably didn't have any malicious intent. He even had me tell you about the plot of the Second and Fifth Elders' rebellion, but he specifically instructed me to present it as my own accomplishment."
"What should we do? As long as he's willing, the Ten Thousand Souls Hall will grant him anything." Zhu Diezhen directly voiced her thoughts.
She was extremely happy.
Earlier in the dream, Ye Yu had saved her once.
Now in reality, he had resolved another crisis for her.
This was destiny at work.
Seeing the usually stoic sect leader now acting like a lovesick young woman, Wei Aoshu became conflicted.
It was clear that Zhu Diezhen really liked Ye Yu.
But this made Wei Aoshu feel uneasy.
From being an undercover junior brother to suddenly becoming the sect leader's significant other with such a high status, this drastic shift in identity left Wei Aoshi unsure of how to face Ye Yu.
Suddenly, Zhu Diezhen's expression changed, dropping her previous smile.
She spoke with utmost seriousness, "Your next mission is crucial. You must stay close to Ye Yu at all times."
"You absolutely cannot let any other women get near him. Especially that woman you saw tonight—do you understand?"
Wei Aoshu nodded.
Thinking of Zuo Yingchun's terrifying combat prowess, she couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive.
Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, Zhu Diezhen's figure had disappeared without a trace.
This left Wei Aoshu speechless.
Master, oh master, do you really only need to worry about this one person?
Of course not.
The ones you really need to be wary of are the Empress Li Ruowang of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Saintess Yun Roumu of the Azure Cloud Sect.
It is rumored that they have already made their move on Ye Yu.
If you don't step up your efforts, you might not even get a sip of the soup.
Wei Aoshu couldn't help but sigh.
Meanwhile, Zhu Diezhen appeared a kilometer away from where Ye Yu's spiritual boat was located.
She released her spiritual sense.
Once she confirmed that only Ye Yu was inside the spirit boat, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason Zhu Diezhen left without saying goodbye to Wei Aoshu just now was because she was afraid Zuo Yingchun wouldn't fight fairly and would take advantage of this opportunity to secretly come find Ye Yu.
But now, it seemed that the woman hadn't done so and was behaving quite properly.
If that's the case, then Zhu Diezhen could reluctantly leave with peace of mind.
After all, Ye Yu's cultivation suddenly dropped to the Golden Core stage. If she doesn't find some precious materials for him to replenish his cultivation, how can she prove her sincerity?
Zhu Diezhen transformed into a streak of light and suddenly disappeared into the sky.
Shortly after she left, there was a ripple in the surrounding space.
Zuo Yingchun's figure suddenly appeared.
In fact, she had been following Ye Yu all along.
Her purpose was the same as Zhu Diezhen's: to prevent the other from fighting unfairly.
Heh, it's a common thing among women.
Now that she saw Zhu Diezhen suddenly leave, Zuo Yingchun's originally calm heart once again stirred up ripples.
Looking around, after casually setting up a barrier, Zuo Yingchun instantly entered the spiritual boat.
Seeing Ye Yu in the room, propping his face with one hand and lost in thought, Zuo Yingchun couldn't help but cover her mouth.
The him before her, completely matched the Ye Yu in her memory.
Actions, appearance, everything was exactly the same.
But the only difference was...
In Zuo Yingchun's memory, Ye Yu had never frowned like this before. It pained her deeply to see it.
She quickly composed herself and gently opened the door, stepping inside.
At first, Ye Yu thought it was Wei Aoshu, so he asked without turning his head, "What are you doing coming to me so late?"
After saying this, he didn't hear any response.
Immediately after, Ye Yu smelled a faint scent of gardenia.
It was a unique fragrance of Zuo Yingchun.
Ye Yu's face changed instantly.
He quickly turned his head and found that the one entering the room was undoubtedly Zuo Yingchun.
This made Ye Yu's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
Good heavens. Just now I was thinking about how to deal with the shura field later.
Now, Zuo Yingchun has started breaking into my home directly?
Does this mean that Zhu Diezhen will join the battlefield soon too?
Ye Yu pretended to be calm and said, "Didn't I tell you all that after I recover my memory, I will come to find you? Why don't you listen?"
Zuo Yingchun stood reservedly at the door and said softly, "I... I really miss you and wanted to see you more. So, I took the liberty to come over. If possible, can I sit here with you for a while?"
Ye Yu was slightly stunned.
In his memory, had Zuo Yingchun ever been so submissive?
As a reincarnated immortal, Zuo Yingchun had her own pride.
Before becoming his wife, she even had a sense of arrogance that looked down upon the world.
Zuo Yingchun was not the kind of person who had such a powerless appearance. How imposing she was at that time!
Yet now, she has become like this.
This made Ye Yu couldn't help but feel sad.
His heart softened, and he raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Zuo Yingchun immediately moved forward.
She sat down across from Ye Yu and even thoughtfully poured a cup of spiritual tea, placing it in front of him.
Ye Yu looked at her and said softly, "Thank you."
Zuo Yingchun's expression turned somewhat dim.
"Actually, you don't need to thank me. Instead, I should apologize to you. Even though you don't remember now, I feel I still owe you an apology. It's all my fault! I shouldn't have been so foolish."
By the end of her words, Zuo Yingchun's voice choked up, her eyes turning red as tears welled up.
This wasn't an act of self-pity.
It was because all this time, she hadn't overcome that hurdle in her heart.
Those memories were like sharp knives, making her deeply self-blaming.
Ye Yu spoke in a deep voice, "Since we met, you've already apologized three times. You shouldn't be like this!"
Zuo Yingchun trembled all over, looking up at Ye Yu in disbelief.
