Chapter 1705: Chapter 765: I’m Leaving (2)

So instinctively she felt that she and Fang Yu had been husband and wife several times, not inferior to this current Mrs. Diao.

But only now, facing the oppression from Mrs. Diao, did she feel embarrassed and sense the difference.

A dream is, after all, just a dream; those experiences are memories she alone holds, purely one-sided.

If at this moment Fang Yu could show some reaction, some hint, feedback, or even stand up for her, then Guan Anxuan might gather the courage to openly compete with Ding Hui.

But there was nothing.

Fang Yu is just Fang Yu, not the person in her dream.

So Guan Anxuan bowed her head, hurriedly concealing her awkwardness, and said in a low voice.

"Mrs. Diao, you’re too kind. I’ve traveled a long way; I’ll go rest... "

Like fleeing in panic, Guan Anxuan left quickly with a difficult-to-hide dull expression.

Fang Yu was still puzzled by Guan Anxuan’s reaction when his arm was suddenly pinched hard by someone.

"What are you doing?"

Although it didn’t hurt much, Ding Hui’s sudden attack still left Fang Yu a bit stunned.

Only to see Ding Hui with a smiling face, cheerfully speaking.

"Oh, nothing much, just feels like my husband looks great, seems to have become more handsome."

Really?

No change at all.

Fang Yu touched his face, and that dull reaction instead amused Ding Hui a bit, dissipating much of the annoyance in her heart.

She laughed and said, "Husband, later on, you should tell me properly about what you and Miss Guan have been through."

"She just had a few dreams... Wait, look over there, Chen Yunyun is awake!"

Yes.

Chen Yunyun was awake.

She still felt a bit fuzzy, somewhat confused.

The concerned voices and the cluttered noises around her made her feel a sense of isolation.

As if only her physical body was here, but her spirit was not.

Until...

"Yunyun! Yunyun!! That’s great, that’s great!"

A figure flew toward her, embracing her.

Chen Yunyun’s body stiffened, with some embarrassment and awkwardness, she said.

"Daoist Qing Yan?"

Once she came to her senses, her voice suddenly heightened.

Daoist Qing Yan! It’s Daoist Qing Yan!

Grabbing Yan Wenxi’s hand, Chen Yunyun excitedly asked, "You’re back? Where’s my master? Where is my master? Didn’t she come back with you? Where is she?"

Yan Wenxi was already in tears, gazing deeply into Chen Yunyun’s eyes, gently adjusting her hair.

"Silly child, it’s me. I am your master! I am Yan Wenxi!"

The emotions are genuine.

The feelings are real.

Yet outwardly, it undeniably is Daoist Qing Yan’s appearance.

So Chen Yunyun was a bit bewildered, somewhat confused.

She didn’t know what the situation was now, so she turned a pleading look toward Fang Yu.

In the rescue team, apart from Daoist Qing Yan, she most trusted, oddly enough, this recently acquainted Young Master Diao.

Huh? Why look at me?

Fang Yu still wondered why their reunion didn’t feel particularly touching and met Chen Yunyun’s gaze.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yu slowly nodded.

"Daoist Qing Yan sacrificed her life for your master’s freedom, but her spirit is also trapped in Daoist Qing Yan’s body. As far as I understand, that’s the situation. And she just used the treasure brought from the Melted Heart Cave on you, allowing your recovery."

Fang Yu’s explanation added significant credibility to Yan Wenxi’s statement.

Although there were still many uncertainties in her heart, Chen Yunyun couldn’t help but tear up and ask shakily.

"Master... is it really you? Master!"

"It’s me! It’s me!"

The two hugged and cried together, their emotions so deep that even Fang Yu, an outsider, could see it.

But who would have thought that for these two to reunite, a life had been sacrificed... Daoist Qing Yan.

Chen Yunyun might still care about Daoist Qing Yan, still quite concerned about him, but Yan Wenxi’s attitude towards Daoist Qing Yan seemed genuinely indifferent.

"Husband, do you think me going over now and asking Chen Yunyun to cooperate with my examination is a bit inappropriate?"

Ding Hui’s voice rang in Fang Yu’s mind, causing Fang Yu to roll his eyes.

You keep saying I’m not insightful or perceptive, but you’re no better.

Isn’t this just nonsense—distinctly they’re recognizing each other as master and disciple, emotions running high, why pour cold water on them?

"All those minor things can be discussed later."

Fang Yu was about to drag Ding Hui away to rest and organize, mutually understand the situation, and check their due material rewards.

Turning around, Fang Yu saw two people riding towards them from below the checkpoint.

It was none other than Luo Jianqing and Dongfang Aotian.

Their small actions were a bit sly, but that was indeed the most sensible, desirable behavior.

If Ding Hui hadn’t been in Sui Chong Pass, forcing Fang Yu to return regardless, he might have acted like Luo Jianqing and the others, first confirming the checkpoint’s safety, and then slowly coming back.

Of course, understanding is just understanding; discomfort is discomfort.

All the risks had been borne by us, and only now do they arrive late; it feels somewhat lacking in integrity.

So Fang Yu merely glanced at them and took Ding Hui inside the checkpoint.

Although part of the checkpoint was collapsed, most floors and buildings weren’t seriously affected, not impacting some of the residence and other functions.

Luo Jianqing naturally also noticed Fang Yu above, but he likewise only glanced at Fang Yu indifferently without saying a word.

He came to claim a reward, having put in the effort and fulfilled his duty, now was his time to reap.

For tasks with additional risks, there was no need, nor a reason for him to undertake them.

Luo Jianqing knew what he wanted, so he was very rational, and his demeanor was calm.

But Dongfang Aotian had many thoughts.

Seeing Yan Wenxi and Chen Yunyun embracing above, he quickly jumped off his horse and leaped towards them.

"Yunyun! Yunyun! I brought your master back as promised..."

He was claiming credit, more accurately, he wanted to claim credit.

But seeing the situation now, Yan Wenxi and Chen Yunyun are not foolish, how could they not understand the basics?

So Dongfang Aotian’s intent to exploit was thinking too much.

No matter how eloquent he was, the two women responded to him coldly.

However, they showed considerable respect for Luo Jianqing who came afterward, even understanding his final distant watching after weighing the pros and cons.

"Looking down on me... are you two belittling me, Dongfang Tong!"

Dongfang Aotian ground his teeth, clenched his fists, but dared not speak up.

Though Sui Chong Pass was damaged, with considerable casualties, with Yan Wenxi’s return, the pass’s overall atmosphere actually turned quite positive and upward.

With Yan Wenxi, the true gatekeeper, overseeing things, everything within the checkpoint was organized, progressing steadily, being repaired.

Sending letters, utilizing connections to invite experts for checkpoint restoration.

Reporting selectively to the higher-ups, handling subsequent pinning down processes.

Comforting and providing for casualties from the pass, as well as granting permissions for defense against potential demon invasions around...

Various measures were nearly carried out simultaneously.

This was originally Chen Yunyun’s work, but now with her master’s return, she felt as if she had a pillar to rely on, those troubles, those pains, no longer needed to be borne alone.

"I want to erect a monument for Daoist Qing Yan."

Chen Yunyun leaned her head on Yan Wenxi’s lap, gazing at the moon in the sky, whispering.

"Do as you please. I’m sure Zhou Qingyan will be comforted, knowing this from below,"

Said Yan Wenxi, gently stroking Chen Yunyun’s long black hair lovingly.

Tread, tread, tread.

At this time, a series of footsteps interrupted their rare moment of leisure.

Working busily all day, she had almost tidied the mess at Sui Chong Pass, finally resting a bit, reunited with her pupil, only for someone to disrupt them again.

Yan Wenxi turned to look, only to see the visitor was none other than Luo Jianqing.

"Lord Luo?"

"I am leaving."
