Chapter 1704 - 765: I’m Leaving

Chapter 1704: Chapter 765: I’m Leaving

The living heart, through Yan Wenxi’s manipulation, was slowly merging into the lifeless body of Chen Yunyun, as if it were liquid.

"What is Daoist Qing Yan doing?"

This action confused even Ding Hui, prompting a voice of doubt to echo in Fang Yu’s mind.

Fang Yu, however, slightly shook his head.

"She is not Daoist Qing Yan; she is... Yan Wenxi, the true gatekeeper of Sui Chong Pass."

"What?!"

This exclamation was shouted directly by Ding Hui.

Yan Wenxi?

Is Daoist Qing Yan actually Yan Wenxi? The real gatekeeper of Sui Chong Pass?

But...

Then what was the point of the rescue team before?

Ding Hui’s eyes widened, feeling somewhat confused and unable to comprehend the current situation.

If Daoist Qing Yan is Yan Wenxi, then why were they going to rescue Yan Wenxi?

Fang Yu naturally noticed Ding Hui’s confusion.

While observing the situation with Yan Wenxi, he whispered.

"Daoist Qing Yan is already dead. He exchanged his life for Yan Wenxi’s and gave her this body, allowing her to escape. The details are quite complex, I’ll explain to you more later."

Though Ding Hui didn’t understand the specific details, she had come to understand and accept that the man before her was indeed Yan Wenxi.

What was this?

Transfer of the soul? Overriding of memories? Deprivation? Or possession of the body?

Ding Hui looked at Yan Wenxi’s back, suddenly very interested.

"Lord Yan Wenxi..."

Ding Hui attempted to call out.

Sure enough, Yan Wenxi swiftly turned and glanced at Ding Hui.

Clearly, she responded to this title, while other people calling her Daoist Qing Yan felt as though they were addressing someone else entirely.

But as of now, she had no time to care about others.

The thing she had desperately obtained from the Melted Heart Cave, at this moment, was finally fully integrated into Chen Yunyun’s body.

Yan Wenxi waited, waiting for the heart to take effect, waiting for a change in Chen Yunyun.

However, the surrounding people had long since shifted their focus away from this side; or rather, compared to a temporary Acting Guardian with no apparent recovery, they were more concerned with their own situation and how the current predicament could be improved.

"Daoist Qing Yan, Sui Chong Pass has been destroyed. Without Sui Chong Pass, how do we fend off the demons entering the borders?"

"Daoist Qing Yan, my child is injured, please help save my child!"

"Daoist Qing Yan, who exactly are the people who destroyed Sui Chong Pass? How dare they defy the law so brazenly, aren’t they afraid of punishment from the king?"

"Daoist Qing Yan..."

"Daoist Qing Yan!"

Voices, like mosquito buzzes, continued to sound around Daoist Qing Yan, with new problems constantly being thrown out.

"Please, Daoist Qing Yan, take charge of the situation!"

"With Daoist Qing Yan here, we are willing to fully adhere to Daoist Qing Yan’s arrangements!"

At this time, Yan Wenxi slowly stood up, glanced around, and said coldly.

"Everyone, stay calm! I will personally handle the issues of the broken barriers and the intruders who forcefully entered later. As for the injured... Bai Qi! Jing Jun! Come over here, you two!"

Only then did Yan Wenxi finally display the demeanor expected of a gatekeeper.

Her ability to make strategic decisions, having complete knowledge of every detail within the pass, and issuing orders precisely, utilizing resources within the pass, was something the previous Daoist Qing Yan could never achieve.

"Is it the memories..."

Ding Hui murmured softly, contemplating.

And at this moment, a voice sounded from behind the two of them.

"Diao... Young Master."

Fang Yu and Ding Hui turned simultaneously to see the arrival of Guan Anxuan, whose head had deformed under demonization.

"Guan Anxuan, you came too? Where are those two?"

Ding Hui was unaware that the rescue team had dwindled to just a few, but Fang Yu knew.

Seeing only Guan Anxuan and not Dongfang Aotian and the others, Fang Yu had his suspicions.

Perhaps as Ding Hui mentioned earlier, someone was weighing the pros and cons, temporarily remaining at a distance.

"They are still on the main road. As they haven’t appeared yet, it means they don’t plan to come over for now."

Guan Anxuan spoke frankly, her expression and tone restrained, comparatively more indifferent than during the return trip previously.

Unconsciously, her eyes lingered on Ding Hui.

It was a subconscious comparison, an assessment.

Despite her various faults, Ding Hui was undoubtedly a beauty in terms of appearance.

Except for her slightly advanced age in her early thirties, which made the connection between Ding Hui and Fang Yu seem like an older woman influencing a younger man, Ding Hui otherwise felt no problem being with Fang Yu.

Therefore, when Guan Anxuan’s strange gaze swept over her, even the slightly oblivious Ding Hui immediately grasped what was going on.

Like a declaration of sovereignty, she smiled and moved a few steps closer to Fang Yu, naturally brushing against him slightly with her arm in his.

Fang Yu noticed Ding Hui’s unusual behavior right away, but before he could speak, Ding Hui’s voice was already echoing in his mind.

"Husband went out for a bit, seems like he’s found a romantic prospect."

Huh? A romantic prospect? Me?

Fang Yu looked at Ding Hui in confusion, the latter wearing an expression of dignified elegance and composure, facing Guan Anxuan.

"Miss Guan, thank you for taking care of my husband all this way."

Frozen.

Guan Anxuan’s body immediately stiffened.

A married man.

This concept on the way back didn’t seem like anything much to Guan Anxuan.

After all, in her dream cycle, she had been married to Fang Yu several times.
