Chapter 804: Chapter 231: Unveiling Secrets, an Unexpected Alliance

The figure had no intention to explore.

He quickly entered some ruins, his form flickered and transformed into a sesame-seed-sized insect.

The insect moved through the holes in the ruins, directly fell below, then transformed back into human form, rummaging through the interior’s Dark Pavilion, quickly finding a box.

The person reached into the box, grasped a Charred Wood Token with five fingers, and then disappeared.

Just after the figure left, another silhouette suddenly appeared outside the Jade Palace.

The figure was dressed plainly and looked ordinary, just like a typical Yujing Person.

However, as this person walked into the shadows, his form suddenly wavered, and the shadow on the wall resembled a clawing monster that began a strange transformation.

The person’s flesh quickly squirmed, and soon, his form was reshaped into a completely different appearance.

If Li Yuan were here witnessing all this, he would be greatly shocked.

Because this person’s method of transforming his body was exactly like his "Human World Transformation"!

This person walked to the ruins outside the Jade Palace, where the guard at the front hurriedly greeted him respectfully, calling out, "Greetings, Grand Tutor Gao."

Grand Tutor Gao nodded, then stepped inside, slowly walking to where Li Yuan had just disappeared, gently sniffing the air, a calm smile appearing in his refined pupils, as if everything was under control.

He did not delve further, instead turned around and left.

After he left, his form changed again, becoming utterly ordinary, and then he blended into the crowd, vanishing into the darkness.

When he reached a certain desolate place, he completely disappeared in the night wind, as if he was carried away by the wind...

Or perhaps... he was the wind.

...

...

Outside the dark carriage, fireflies danced in the grass, while cicadas continuously chirped.

Suddenly, a silhouette appeared inside the carriage.

"Gucheng?" the woman inside called out.

"It’s me."

Li Yuan answered.

Xie Wei said, "Aren’t you staying with Xiaoyu’Er?"

Li Yuan said, "She asked me to focus on escorting you safely to our new home."

Xie Wei replied softly, "Silly little sister..."

Li Yuan said nothing further, leaning against the carriage wall, he fiddled with the Charred Wood Token.

After fiddling for about an hour, he already understood what this thing was.

It was like the "Disciple Token" in some of the cultivation novels he read before, containing identity information, communication methods, and means to perceive fellow disciples.

As long as there were disciples holding the same sect token nearby, Li Yuan could sense the other party through this "Token."

At the same time, the other party could sense his presence.

And after sensing each other’s existence, they could directly use communication methods to transmit sound.

However, unless the other party directly exposes their location, generally they wouldn’t know where the other is, the "Token" would only let you know they are nearby, but wouldn’t reveal the precise location.

Li Yuan held the token, feeling it might be useful, but decided to keep it and try his luck.

...

...

After over two months of travel, Li Yuan brought the aunt back to Shanbao County.

Entering the city was easy.

Having made simple disguises and changed into ordinary women’s clothing, the aunt did not attract attention, and she also acquired a "Family" token.

This meant she was a "qualified" Sixth Grade Martial Artist, able to cultivate within Shanbao County.

When Li Yuan’s imperial carriage stopped in front of the Silver Creek Square’s old residence, the lady in the red robe inside had already received news.

Xie Yu quickly walked out, her face filled with excitement, her lips smiling, dimples adorning her cheeks.

"Second Sister!"

She held the hand of the beautiful woman who descended from the carriage and then softly said, "Gucheng has already told me all about you, from now on... just live with us."

"No."

"No!"

Li Yuan and Xie Wei spoke simultaneously.

Xie Yu blinked, then shot a fierce look at her husband, saying, "Are you still rejecting my Second Sister?"

"Not rejecting." What else could Li Yuan say?

Xie Yu fiercely said, "Second Sister is here, shouldn’t you buy ingredients to cook something nice?"

After speaking, she pulled Xie Wei’s hand and said, "Second Sister, don’t be shy, listen to me, there’s a reason for living here... There’s a very good cultivation place here, certainly no worse than Jade Capital. From now on, we’ll cultivate there together."

"Is... is that good? You two as a couple..." Xie Wei was quite embarrassed.

Xie Yu said, "He doesn’t usually come to cultivate, when the time comes, we’ll train together, shop together, sleep together."

"Then... you two as a couple..."

"Let him sleep in a different bed."

The sisters reunited after a long time, as if it had been a lifetime.

Xie Yu happily pulled Xie Wei to the apricot tree.

Xie Wei instantly felt the rich vigor in the place.

She softly asked, "Is this Gucheng’s old residence?"

Xie Yu replied, "Yes."

Xie Wei fell silent for a moment, then smiled, "It’s really nice here."

That day, the two women began cultivating here.

While Li Yuan also procured some ribs, lake fish, and assorted mushrooms, starting to cook.

He wielded the exceedingly heavy and dense kitchen knife, every cut of which expressed his power.

The Great Vortex and Power of Great Collection transformed into peerless killing moves concealed within each cut in his culinary practices.

By evening, the dishes were served.

Mushroom soup, braised ribs, fried fish, all simple home-cooked meals, yet Xiaoyu’Er and Xie Wei were very happy eating them.

The Empress Dowager ate delicacies daily, yet... returning here, she found that those delicacies did not surpass a simple bowl of rice.

So, she ate several more bowls, and even her calculatingly cold eyes showed a happy smile.
