Before parting, Ye Yu told Bu Lingfei that he still had a mission to complete and needed to return to the Azure Cloud Sect.

    If she missed him, she could go to the Azure Cloud Sect to find him.

    Although Bu Lingfei was reluctant to part, she agreed.

    After Ye Yu left, Bu Lingfei stood there, gazing in the direction he had gone for a long time.

    Then, she transformed into a streak of light and returned to the ruins of the Bu family.

    To her surprise, the place had changed dramatically in the few days she was gone.

    The previous ruins and debris had been cleared away.

    Hundreds of cultivators were busily constructing various buildings, creating a grand scene.

    Several Bu family members were personally supervising the work.

    Upon seeing Bu Lingfei’s arrival, everyone cupped their hands and saluted. “Greetings, Clan leader.”

    Bu Lingfei nodded slightly in response, then looked around and beckoned to Bu Xiaoyun from the crowd.

    Seeing this, Bu Wangchuan and the other Bu family members showed disappointment in their eyes.

    Bu Xiaoyun quickly approached and cupped her hands, asking, “Clan leader, do you have any instructions?”

    Bu Lingfei inquired, “Was it you who brought Ye Yu here initially? How did you two meet?”

    Bu Xiaoyun recounted everything that had happened, including the Wang family’s pursuit.

    After listening, Bu Lingfei softly said, “I’ll help you get justice from the Wang family of Fuan Province.”

    “You’ve done well. Here’s a small token of my appreciation. After all, without you, I wouldn’t have met Ye Yu.”

    As she spoke, Bu Lingfei turned her hand and took out a jade hairpin from her storage ring, personally placing it in Bu Xiaoyun’s hair.

    This gesture left Bu Xiaoyun feeling overwhelmed and very nervous.

    “It’s a high-grade artifact, useful for protection,” Bu Lingfei explained. “By the way, what is being done here?”

    Bu Xiaoyun quickly answered, “Clan leader, Brother Wangchuan suggested that since we’re rebuilding the Bu family, we should start here and restore this place to its former glory.”

    Bu Lingfei finally smiled and softly said, “It’s thoughtful.”

    Bu Xiaoyun nodded slightly.

    After some hesitation, she asked softly, “Why haven’t I seen fellow Daoist Ye Yu?”

    “He has returned to the Azure Cloud Sect to report. You all continue your work here. I’m heading to Fuan Province to have a word with the Wang family!”

    With a swift movement, Bu Lingfei disappeared from sight.

    Bu Xiaoyun stood there in a daze.

    Ye Yu had already left? Returned to the Azure Cloud Sect to report?

    That can’t be right.

    Earlier, she saw him use a soul-summoning barrier. Isn’t that a clear sign of a demonic cultivator?

    Additionally, with Senior Sister Hongluan away, Luo Ze was enjoying a particularly pleasant life.

    However, as he stood in the main hall of the Azure Cloud Sect, overlooking his many disciples and stroking his beard, he suddenly saw someone he shouldn’t have.

    Startled, his right hand trembled, pulling out several strands of his beard.

    Ignoring the pain in his chin, Luo Ze hurriedly leaped to this person’s side and asked urgently, “Wei Aoshu, why are you back?”

    “Have you finished collecting the 200 Dark Abyss Flowers? And where is Ye Yu?”

    Indeed, the person who had returned to the Azure Cloud Sect was Wei Aoshu.

    Faced with Luo Ze’s barrage of questions, she quickly recounted everything that had happened in Baizhang Dao.

    After listening, Luo Ze’s expression changed greatly.

    He turned to arrange for other elders to guard Baizhang Dao but immediately returned, asking seriously, “So, where is Ye Yu?”

    In Luo Ze’s eyes, this question was as critical as the crisis at Baizhang Dao.

    Wei Aoshu was surprised, “Master, haven’t you seen him? We got separated at Baizhang Dao.”

    “I thought he would come back directly. I’ve searched all of the Azure Cloud Sect but haven’t found him yet.”

    “So, where could Ye Yu have gone?”

    Luo Ze furrowed his brow.

    Lost? Disappeared?

    How could that be?

    A living person can’t just vanish into thin air.

    Unless he’s hiding.

    Wait, what would he be hiding from?

    After thinking it over several times, Luo Ze slapped his thigh and suddenly remembered something very important.

    Yesterday, Yun Roumu had said she was going out to find an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

    Luo Ze had subconsciously thought it was just a way to relax after the heartbreak and had immediately agreed.

    But now, in light of Ye Yu’s disappearance, it seemed highly likely that the two of them were taking this opportunity to secretly meet.

    So many plans, and yet he had overlooked this.

    A miscalculation, a huge oversight.

    Despite all his precautions, he never anticipated that Ye Yu would pull such a move.

    A plan within a plan, huh? Using the Azure Cloud Sect as a cover?

    Kid, you’re ruthless!

    Saying one thing and doing another behind my back.

    You wait, you wait for this sect leader!
