Her doubts were answered when she saw Xiao Yi standing alone at the center of the great hall, facing off against the Mountain Lords. Rui Yu was not by his side, most likely, he had spent the extra three days comforting Rui Yu.
"Master!" Seeing that they had entered the hall, Xiao Yi welcomed them with a joyous expression. To be more precise, he welcomed Feng Yi. "I'm glad you're safe and sound."
"Mn." Feng Yi replied indifferently, yet, she brushed past him, and walked towards the upper seat. Xiao Yi's expression instantly turned a little ugly. In the end, there was a gap between the two of them.
Zhu Yao rubbed her nose, and found a chair to sit on as well. She had a little naughty thoughts in her mind. This scene was really something to see and hear.
After taking a closer look at Xiao Yi's cultivation, as expected, it had increased by quite a bit. Earlier, he was at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, and now, he had already reached the pinnacle of the second level. Faintly, he looked as though he was about to break through to the third level. It seemed that in these ten days, he and Rui Yu had done a lot of things that they should do.
His own master was imprisoned in the Desolate Lands, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive, yet, he was immersed in the warmth of his lover. Thinking about it this way, losing Feng Yi's trust, he deserved it.
Wait, why can I see his face now? The word 'bug' on his face seemed to have faded a little.
Zhu Yao was startled, as she slightly raised her head. F * ck, the exclamation mark above his head had also disappeared!
Was it because she had released Shui Ling that the trajectory had been slightly altered? The more Zhu Yao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. In her dream, Xiao Yi had obtained three Spirits, and then, based on the connection between the five Spirits, he summoned the Earth Spirit and the Fire Spirit.
Currently, he only had the Metal Spirit in his hands. In other words, the Earth Spirit and the Fire Spirit would not be his. If she were to obtain the Metal Spirit in his hands as well, he would lose his only cheat, and naturally, he would no longer be a bug. When she thought of this, Zhu Yao instantly became excited.
"Senior Martial Brother. He had colluded with evil cultivators. Since ancient times, good and evil could not coexist. This trend could not be allowed to persist. Sect Master, please handle this impartially. "Zi Dan said with a furious expression.
Xiao Yi frowned deeply. "Senior-martial brother Zi Dan, please do not slander me. Do you have any proof that I'm colluding with heretical cultivators? "
"Evidence?" Zi Dan coldly snorted, as though he was extremely furious. Walking to Zhu Yao's side, he said furiously. "You want proof, right? Brother, tell me. Was he together with that demoness in Yucang City? "
"Uh …" Zhu Yao had no choice but to nod.
So it was because of this matter. It was no wonder she and Feng Yi were called over in such a hurry. Heretic practitioners and Deity practitioners had been fighting for so many years, and they had long been like fire and water. It was no wonder Zi Dan would be angry until now. This time, Xiao Yi had made a huge blunder.
Xiao Yi's expression turned even uglier, however, he still refuted with confidence. "Both of you are biased against me and Rui Yu, and your words are not trustworthy. And even if I'm with her, it doesn't prove that I'm colluding with an evil cultivator. In any case, it's your turn … "He looked at the two of them coldly and revealed a hint of disdain." Don't forget that she was the one who let you go in Yucang City. That's why you survived. Not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you also want to frame me? "
"You … You are simply unreasonable." Zi Dan was instantly angered to the point where his hair was about to stand on end.
Zhu Yao was even more dumbfounded by his words of changing the concept. Grateful to Rui Yu? Did she hear wrongly? She was the one who caught them, but she had to thank her instead. What kind of joke was this?
"Alright. Even if you don't believe my and little brother Jiang's words, you should be able to believe your master's words, right!? " Zi Dan took a deep breath. Looking at Feng Yi who was seated on top, he cupped his hands and said. "Senior-martial aunt, you saw the scene back then as well. Back then in the underground city. Was he colluding with that heretic cultivator? "
Zhu Yao sighed. Not only did she see it, she even watched a free show of 'You Are Me'. 'You Are Me'.
Feng Yi recalled that live erotic scene as well, and her expression instantly darkened quite a bit. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and only after a while did she helplessly nod her head.
"Master!" Xiao Yi widened his eyes, and looked at Feng Yi with a face of disbelief. His expression instantly sank to the bottom, and his face was filled with 'how can you not understand me' look.
Feng Yi did not care about him, and immediately turned her head away.
Xiao Yi's face instantly turned ashen.
Although seeing Xiao Yi suffer a setback, Zhu Yao still felt pretty good, in the end, he did not deserve to die. If he was really convicted of the crime of colluding with a heretic cultivator, most likely, he would no longer have a place to stand in the cultivation world. Although he was a little of a stud, and would not be able to move his legs when he saw a beautiful woman, overall, he was not too detestable. Adding that back then in Yucang City, he could be considered to have saved her.
"Xiao Yi, are you really colluding with that heretic cultivator?" Zi Mo's expression sank as well. The situation was serious. Although he was the Sovereign's disciple, for the sake of Ancient Hill Sect, he could not be lenient.
"Umm … I think there's a misunderstanding here." Zhu Yao stood up, stopped Zi Mo, and coughed. "Actually, back then in Yucang City, the three of us were captured by that heretic cultivator, and the other party was a Demigod-stage practitioner."
When her words fell, the Great Hall was instantly in an uproar. Heretic cultivators had always been hard to deal with, and they all had their own way of doing things. However, after so many years, the reason why the Righteous Sects were able to suppress them, was because there were Demigod-stage practitioners in the Righteous Sects. Although heretic cultivators could cultivate faster than disciples of Righteous Sects by relying on Heretic Arts, they were still unable to reach the peak. Now, however, a Demigod-stage practitioner had appeared, and everyone could not help but exclaim in shock. To the Righteous Sects, this was definitely a huge threat.
"Back then, the three of us were not her match, and we almost died. Uh … We lost our lives in her hands." Zhu Yao continued. "In the end, Xiao Yi was quick-witted, and bewitched that female practitioner, allowing him to save everyone."
"But clearly, he and that woman …" Zi Dan was still indignant, and wanted to speak up.
Zhu Yao pulled him. "Senior-martial brother, back then, the entire place was filled with heretic practitioners. I believe junior-martial brother Xiao had no other choice, and thus, he disguised himself. If he really betrayed the Sect, why would he return, and walk right into the trap? "
Zi Dan frowned, and pondered for a moment, before he no longer argued.
"So junior-martial brother Xiao was merely putting on a show, and deceived that heretic practitioner." Zhu Yao looked towards Xiao Yi at the center. "Don't you think so?"
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, and a moment later, he spat out a single word. "Yes!"
Zi Mo frowned, he had a feeling that this matter was not that simple. After pondering for a moment, he said. "Junior-martial brother Xiao, since you've already returned, it means that you have completely severed your ties with that female practitioner. You definitely shouldn't continue to talk about that heretic practitioner, and even cause junior-martial brother Zi Dan to misunderstand."
Xiao Yi simply lowered his head, and did not reply, as though he had silently agreed to his words.
"Although the truth is clear now, at this moment, we will not pursue this matter any further." Zi Mo continued. "However, just in case, and to prevent that heretic practitioner from taking the opportunity to take revenge, junior-martial brother Xiao is not allowed to leave the mountain for the next two hundred years."
This was the best way to handle this matter. Firstly, he was giving Sovereign Feng Yi face, and secondly, he could prevent him from truly having any connections with the heretic practitioner.
"Do you have any objections?"
Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, before he cupped his fists and replied. "I will obey the Sect Master's orders!" Raising his head, his eyes, however, shifted to Zhu Yao at the back. In an instant, his eyes turned cold, and a hint of hatred flashed past.
Zhu Yao's heart trembled! The hell, what's the meaning of his eyes? She was the one who saved his life, hey? Why was it that everytime she saved him, she would pull his hatred?
Zi Mo gave the order, and announced the end of the meeting.
It was a happy ending, and Zhu Yao was the only one who felt unwell.
Feng Yi was the first to walk out. When she passed by Zhu Yao, she threw her a grateful gaze, and only then did Zhu Yao find some comfort.
As expected, there were still sensible people in this world.

Probably because she had saved Xiao Yi, the high mountain flower of Ancient Hill Sect, Feng Yi, had recently become even more friendly with her. Because they were all on the Beast-Taming Mountain, and they were very close to each other. Feng Yi would occasionally come down to chat with her. Just when little wimp had entered his rebellious phase, and she did not know what was wrong with old man Zi Mo, as he pushed all the responsibilities of Ancient Hill Sect onto her shoulders. She was so busy that she almost fainted. Now that Feng Yi was here, she finally had an excuse, and did not care anymore.
When Feng Yi came looking for her, she was giving lessons to a few little radishes who had just entered the sect. Zi Mo's explanation was, these were the future of the sect, and as an elder, she had the responsibility of supervising them.
Momma's egg, it's not like she was taking in disciples, why the hell was she supervising them?
Looking at a group of naive and fearless little radishes circling around you, and because of your reputation, you can't hit them, and you can't scold them, it's really terrifying, alright?
"Deity, Deity, what's your name?" Number one radish.
"Deity, Deity, you can fly. Then, is your name Flying Man?" Number two radish.
"But, my dad said that those who can fly are all called birds?" Number three radish.
"Then, is your name Birdman?" Number four radish.
"…"
Zhu Yao squatted down, and pulled the bunch of curious little radishes. Sighing, she explained with a heavy tone. "Little friend, Deity's name is not Flying Man, nor Birdman. My name is Superman! "
That's right, I'm the Superman who saves the world.
"Oh!" Exclamations of enlightenment resounded from the crowd.
Puuu ~
A light laughter came from afar. The tall mountain flower had come to chat with her. Zhu Yao finally found a reason to escape. She randomly pulled a disciple, handed over the bunch of little radishes, and then ran off while pulling Feng Yi.
Children and whatnot, they were too terrifying.
"How can you deceive those children?" Feng Yi sat on a stone chair in the courtyard.
"How can you say that I'm deceiving them?" Zhu Yao poured a cup of tea for herself, and explained with a stern look. "I'm teaching them a very important lesson here. Those who speak too much are bound to slip up … Seriously!"
Feng Yi shook her head, however, she did not continue to refute. She took the tea from her hands, and thanked her.
Zhu Yao: "…" It's not for you.
Alright, she did not have the face to snatch it back either. Hence, she had no choice but to pour herself another cup.
Feng Yi seemed to have something to say, as she glanced at her a few times, and then hesitated. "Jiang You …"
"Ah?"
"You … What do you think of me?" Feng Yi suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Yao was stunned for a moment.
Feng Yi however lowered her head, and secretly glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. As though she had something difficult to say out loud, her face began to redden inch by inch.
Zhu Yao suddenly felt a little awkward. "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting so weird today? "
After chatting for so many days, she had already completely treated the other party as her bosom friend. This was the first time she had seen such an expression.
"Are you willing … to form a Partner-practitioner relationship with me?"
