The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

Chapter 174 Cleaning up the mess

Jiaoyu slowly shrank, transforming into a half-grown form and re-entering her wrist.

Yun Fuzhao patted its head. "Well done."

This was, in fact, the first time Yun Fuzhao had ever seen Jiaoyu in her semi-adult form. She was even more beautiful and lifelike than the ones she had seen in books.

Like scales and frost, it is translucent and pure.

According to the information it conveyed to Yun Fuzhao, it will molt once and fully become an adult.

Yu Ze stared thoughtfully at the jade pendant on Yun Fuzhao's wrist. He didn't really care about the dragon race. As long as it benefited Yun Fuzhao, that was enough.

“Yun Fuzhao,” Yu Ze said, “I will lead them back first. I will come to find you again in a few days.”

“Alright.” Yun Fuzhao glanced at the demons behind him. When they met her gaze, they trembled and felt a sense of fear.

"Thank you all for today," Yun Fuzhao said, bowing to the group of demons. "If there is anything that my Wuyai Sword Sect can do for you in the future, please feel free to ask."

The demons were flattered and overwhelmed. "Sect Master Yun, you're too kind."

"Sect Leader Yun, there's no need to be so polite. Your affairs are our affairs; we're all one family."

Yu Ze nodded. "They're right."

Looking at her with his dark eyes, Yu Ze didn't show any unusual emotions just because her spirit beast was a dragon. "You can order the demons around as you please, whenever you need them."

Yun Fuzhao felt a warmth in her heart and patted Yu Ze on the shoulder, "You truly are my best ally."

Upon hearing this address, Yu Ze's eyes flashed, and he leaned down slightly, slowly saying, "That's what you think, not what I think."

Before Yun Fuzhao could react, he straightened up again. "I'm leaving now. They won't dare to do anything to you for a while. If anything happens, send me a text message."

“What could possibly happen to me?” Yun Fuzhao waved to him. “Take care.”

Yu Ze glanced at her one last time, then turned away, and the group of demons turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Yun Fuzhao turned his head and looked at the scene in front of the sect.

The Wuyai Sword Sect suffered many casualties, which pained Yun Fuzhao greatly. These were promising young talents she had painstakingly nurtured.

However, seeing that Xuantian Sect had also lost many of its direct disciples, Yun Fuzhao felt somewhat better.

Upon seeing a figure, Yun Fuzhao immediately hurried over and carefully helped Zhen up, "Senior..."

Yun Fuzhao never expected him to help the Boundless Sword Sect. After all, he wasn't from here and had no reason to go through fire and water for them.

Zhen was barely breathing, and he struggled to make out Yun Fuzhao's face.

A line of text appeared in mid-air: Yun Fuzhao, there's no need to look for her for me anymore, I'm going down to see her soon.

"Senior Zhen, don't say such things. I brought a divine physician with me. He can cure you."

Lian Sheng walked over, half-squatting down to take Zhen's pulse. After a while, he said softly, "He can be saved."

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear, cold voice rang out, "Yun Fuzhao."

Yun Fuzhao turned around, and Gong Yuhe appeared there at some point. "Why are you here?"

Gong Yuhe did not answer, but looked at the dying Zhen. After a long while, he slowly said, "I came for my teacher."

Zhen seemed to have expected this, staring intently at Gong Yuhe, tears glistening in his eyes. He gestured: You knew all along, didn't you?

Lowering her eyes, Gong Yuhe dared not look him directly in the eye, "Mm."

Zhen closed his eyes in pain, instantly losing all his strength.

Yun Fuzhao was unaware of what had happened between them; his immediate priority was to save Zhen. "Divine Doctor, save him first..."

"I'm here to kill him."

Yun Fuzhao looked at Gong Yuhe in disbelief, and the latter calmly repeated it again.

"why?"

"He shouldn't have appeared in front of the world so openly."

"..."

Yun Fuzhao didn't understand the rules of the Hall of Rebirth, nor did she want to express any opinion on them, but Zhen was injured for the sake of the Boundless Sword Sect, so she had to take responsibility for him both morally and logically.

"If you want to kill him, first..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt her sleeve being tugged, and Zhen shook her head.

A line of text appeared: I have no more attachments, let me go.

"..."

Yun Fuzhao felt a lump in his throat and looked at Gong Yuhe. His expression was calm and composed, as if nothing could stir his emotions.

This demeanor was unfamiliar to Yun Fuzhao; he hadn't acted this way back on Peach Blossom Island. He even reminded Zhen to take his medicine…

Yun Fuzhao didn't speak, he just stared at Zhen.

He seemed lost in some memories, a warm smile playing on his lips.

The writing slowly faded away, and Zhen's eyes slowly closed.

Gong Yuhe averted his gaze, and after a long while, said to Yun Fuzhao, "The news of your contract with the dragon clan will spread throughout the cultivation world in just a few days. All forces will be eyeing you..."

The Hall of Rebirth is no exception. Yun Fuzhao, the Dragon Clan has reappeared; you are both a beneficiary and a victim.

He stopped there, not saying anything more, but leaving with the words, "Be careful."

Yun Fuzhao knew, of course, that it was dangerous to expose Jiaoyu's existence too early, but she would not do it unless absolutely necessary.

"Is he okay?"

Lian Sheng was examining Dai Junde's injuries.

“It’s quite serious,” Lian Sheng said, opening her small medicine box. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out of bed for several days.”

Hearing him say that, Yun Fuzhao's heart tightened. "Are there any aftereffects?"

"No. You'll be fine once you've recovered."

Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief. The Grand Elder was now the only elder in their sect. If he couldn't cultivate because of this, the Boundless Sword Sect would be truly finished.

Xie Wan walked over, "Yun Fuzhao."

"Are you alright?" Yun Fuzhao looked her up and down. Xie Wan was not injured, but her complexion was not good.

"If it weren't for me, the Boundless Sword Sect wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses..."

"Alright," Yun Fuzhao put his arm around her shoulder, "What does this have to do with you? It's all because the people of Lingyue Sect are too cunning. Speaking of which, why don't you leave Lingyue Sect and come to my sect?"

This suggestion appealed to Xie Wan, but then she thought of something else: "I can keep track of their movements from Lingyue Sect. If they make any moves, I can let you know."

That makes some sense. Perhaps in the future, Yun Fuzhao can even help her bring Li Gang down and support Xie Wan to become the sect leader.

"Don't leave yet," Yun Fuzhao said. "Let the divine physician examine your love potion later."

"Love potion?"

“Oh.” Yun Fuzhao pointed at Xie Wan, “She has been poisoned with a love potion.”

"It's been a long time since I've come into contact with this Gu worm."

[Yun Family Team 3, Hong Ziqing: Speaking of this love potion, I remember Lian Sheng was also given one, right?]

Oh? Is that so?

[Yun Family Team 3, Hong Ziqing: Yes, Lian Sheng was very popular in the Guanshan Sect back then. A woman pursued him for a long time without success. Later, out of love turned to hate, she put a love potion on Lian Sheng.]

【Then what? 】

Upon hearing the gossip, Yun Fuzhao immediately became engrossed.
