Chapter 1330 - 1333: Yun Hao's Exhaustion

Yun Hao swept a glance over everyone around him, and finally fixed his gaze on Gu Yueshuang.

"Venerable Yueshuang, do you still want to fight?"

Do you still want to fight?

Hearing Yun Hao's words, everyone present felt an urge to kneel down and worship.

When it comes to putting on a show, I only bow to Yun Hao…

You're already in this sorry state, and you still want to fight Gu Yueshuang?

Gu Yueshuang's cultivation might not match Ye Wuqing's, but on the Immortal Realm's Heaven Ranking of combat strength, she was still ranked twelfth—a certified killing machine.

The reason Shangqing Palace could be so famed in the Immortal Realm, one was because their Palace Master ranked fifth on the Heaven Ranking, and the other was this Grand Elder Gu Yueshuang, ranked twelfth.

"I, Gu Yueshuang, disdain taking advantage of others when they're down. Just wait for the Immortal Realm army to arrive!"

Gu Yueshuang's beautiful eyes flickered a few times as she stared at Yun Hao for a while. Then she tossed out this light remark, flashed once, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

With Gu Yueshuang's departure, the people from the Upper Realm and the Immortal Realm all left as well.

Seeing that the enemies had already gone, Yun Hao took out an Elixir, sat down right where he was, and began circulating his energy to regulate his breathing.

All kinds of colored energies around him surged toward Yun Hao.

At the same time, A Yun and Qing Luan rushed to Yun Hao's left and right, while Gu Feng and Sun Fei closely followed, standing fifty meters in front of and behind Yun Hao.

Lu Qingzhu, Tang Rou and the others also began keeping watch around them, warily eyeing everyone nearby.

Wu Dufu likewise joined them, his expression vigilant as he watched the surrounding cultivators to prevent anyone with ill intent from seizing this chance to sneak attack Yun Hao.

The people all around, seeing the experts guarding Yun Hao like a fortress, even if anyone truly wanted to use this opportunity to harm him, didn't dare to act rashly.

At this moment, A Yun and the others' nerves were pulled taut. As long as anyone nearby dared to make any suspicious move, they would absolutely be killed on the spot.

Chu Yan, Zhao Shishi, Liu Mengqi, Seductive Snake and the others also stood guard around them, even though their cultivation was far too weak compared to A Yun and the group.

"Xiao Rou, tell the Dragon Scale brothers nearby to arrange housing for those who passed the open selection, as well as these people around. We'll wait for hubby to wake up before deciding anything else!"

Chu Yan instructed Tang Rou beside her, and Tang Rou nodded, then went around issuing orders.

Yun Hao sat like that for a full week…

During that week, A Yun and Qing Luan never once left. They simply chose not to show themselves like the others, remaining invisible as they sat on Yun Hao's left and right to protect him.

Chu Yan, Zhao Shishi and the other women took turns standing in for each other.

On the other side, they were still searching for Zhao Ya.

However, it was as if Zhao Ya had suddenly vanished from this world. No matter how they searched, they couldn't find the slightest clue.

From the villa outward in all directions, they carefully watched all the surveillance footage, over and over again, yet Zhao Ya never appeared.

That day, Yun Hao, who had been meditating, woke up. His injuries had more or less improved a bit, at least enough not to affect his movements.

However, in the short term, it would be difficult for him to engage in any fierce battles again.

In that fight with Ye Wuqing, half of the meridians in Yun Hao's body had been shattered. If not for the Primordial Spirit in his dantian protecting him, his meridians might have been completely severed…

"Master…"

"Master…"

The moment Yun Hao woke up, A Yun and Qing Luan sensed it, reappeared, and looked at him happily.

And it just so happened that on this day, Chu Yan was on duty guarding Yun Hao. The instant she saw him wake up, she burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.

With Chu Yan throwing herself at him like that, Yun Hao nearly fell to the ground. His body right now was honestly way too fragile.

"Let's go home."

Yun Hao patted Chu Yan's back, gave a brief order to the three women, then got into the car that had been waiting not far away and returned to the villa.

Back home, Zhao Shishi, Liu Mengqi and the others all looked at Yun Hao with tearful eyes, their excitement beyond words.

After hugging each woman, Yun Hao turned his head to look around, as if searching for someone.

Seeing Yun Hao's actions, Chu Yan and the others' hearts rose to their throats.

They knew Yun Hao was looking for Zhao Ya…

Sure enough, after searching the room, Yun Hao turned back to them and softly asked, "Where's Xiao Ya? I come back this time and she doesn't show up right away?"

Yet when Yun Hao finished speaking, he noticed that Chu Yan and the others all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

From the look in their eyes, Yun Hao had already sensed that something must have happened to Zhao Ya…

"Who's going to tell me what happened to Xiao Ya?" Yun Hao swept his gaze over each of them and asked quietly.

"Hubby…"

Hearing Yun Hao's question, Chu Yan hesitated, about to tell him the truth.

But Liu Mengqi, seated beside Chu Yan, cut in, "Xiao Ya's gone missing. It's been twenty days… We've searched everywhere we can think of, but we still haven't found her!"

"Missing? Wasn't she always with you? How could she go missing?"

Yun Hao frowned slightly and looked at Liu Mengqi in confusion.

With Liu Mengqi's and Tang Rou's methods and connections, for Zhao Ya to have been missing for over twenty days and still not be found!

Yun Hao did not buy it…

"We don't know why either. During the open selection, all of us went to manage the event. Xiao Ya was home alone, and when we came back that night, she was gone!"

This time, it was Chu Yan who answered Yun Hao.

Yun Hao's gaze swept across the others one by one.

Zhao Shishi, Liu Mengqi, Tang Rou, Seductive Snake, Su Qiao all nodded lightly, agreeing with Chu Yan's words.

Looking at the women, Yun Hao stayed silent for a long time!

Under Yun Hao's gaze, Chu Yan and the others felt as if a mountain had been pressed onto their shoulders.

"If you couldn't find her, then forget it. Maybe Xiao Ya felt stifled and went out to have some fun on her own."

After quite a while, Yun Hao gave a faint smile and spoke softly, as if he didn't take this matter too much to heart.

"Master…"

A Yun knew about Zhao Ya and Chu Yan's quarrel. Seeing Chu Yan and the others teaming up to deceive Yun Hao, she wanted to tell him the truth, but Yun Hao raised his hand to stop her.

"I'm a bit tired. I'll go lie down on the lounge chair outside for a while. You've all been exhausted these days too, go take a break."

Yun Hao waved his hand, slowly stood up, and walked toward the door.

Under Chu Yan and the others' gazes, Yun Hao's steps were a little unsteady. Even when Zhao Shishi and Su Qiao tried to go up and support him, they were refused.
