It didn’t take long before Ye Fei arrived. When he arrived, this senior known for his gentleness and amiableness had a gaave look and crushed the last hope Ye Yu had in her heart.
Since everything was set, she ended up calming and quietening down.
“You don’t need to say anything.” Ye Yu cut off Ye Fei and said, “I went to tell fortune and I have a basic understanding of the situation. Where is Xuan Yi right now?”
As Xuan Yi’s trusted aide, Ye Fei obviously knew where the group was resting. Ye Yu believed in this.
Ye Fei, as well, didn’t let down her expectations.
He glanced at Ye Yu, feeling complicated. Clearly, he had thoughts about what she meant by fortune-telling, but in the end, Ye Fei swallowed his words.
“Your majesty, please follow me.”
“…”
Ye Yu followed Ye Fei out of the city and they headed straight for the mountains.
Once they entered the forest, they took a lot of turns before finally arriving at their destination.
——
Deep in the cave.
After Ye Yu walked in, her gaze landed on the pale-looking young man leaning against the simple and crude make-shift bed in the cave.
His thin lips were so pale that it had no redness and his tightly shut eyelashes were still slightly trembling. Even his charming eyebrows were tightly knitted as if enduring some sort of pain in his dream.
Ye Yu’s heart felt as if it had been ripped out when she saw this.
“There are people looking for the Emperor everywhere, so we had no choice but to temporarily hide here.”
The person standing next to the bed was naturally Xuan Yi’s trusted aide as well. Once they saw Ye Fei, their face turned gloomy. “General Liao already went to invite an authentic elder from Yun Sect who he has relations with in private and he will probably return in the afternoon. The rest of the matters will be left to General Ye’s hands.”
Yet, Ye Fei glanced at Ye Yu first.
“Your majesty… will the Emperor be ok?”
Ye Fei clearly believed in Ye Yu’s fortune-telling ability right now.
After hearing the question, Ye Yu withdrew her gaze from the man in bed.
“He’s fine.”
Ye Yu didn’t add anymore, but her calm voice comforted Ye Fei.
Ye Yu looked down and said, “Since I’m here, he’ll be fine… what you guys need to do before he wakes up is to make sure Xuan Bin’s people don’t find this place.”
Ye Fei nodded and said, “Yes, your majesty.”
…
It was 15 minutes before noon and Liao Qing rushed back with Yun Sect’s elder.
After careful examination, the Yun Sect’s elder stood up and slowly shook his head.
“ —?!”
Veins popped on Liao Qing’s head and he said, “How is that possible?! The Emperor is still breathing. You —”
Yun Sect’s elder glanced at Liao Qing in confusion and slowly said, “He’s fine.”
“…”
Liao Qing almost couldn’t hold in the urge to choke his old friend to death.
“Although he’s fine,” The Yun Sect’s elder took a deep breath before knitting his eyebrows. He started taking out bottles of things from his space ring and he said, “He should get some rest. Let me prescribe some medicine to help him recover his essence qi and dantian.”
“…Sorry for the trouble, elder.”
Ye Fei and the others were quite shocked by the elder’s previous words, but they snapped out of their trances right now, and respectfully bowed at the Yun Sect’s elder.
After all, there weren’t many people willing to save people from the devil world, even if it was the Yun Sect.
Maybe it was because Xuan Yi’s body was extremely powerful or because of Yun Sect’s elder’s exceptional skills, or a combination of both, but he recovered quickly. When it was getting dark, Xuan Yi finally woke up.
Fu Yi glanced at Ye Fei who stood by the bed while Xuan Yi knitted his eyebrows.
His pale lips slowly moved and said, “Didn’t I order you to stay in Jian Sect, cough cough… to protect her?”
“Then you should protect yourself first.”
Before Ye Fei responded, a voice intervened.
Xuan Yi’s figure stiffened before he turned in the direction of the voice.
“Sister… why did you come?”
Ye Yu said nothing, pursing her lips and glancing down at Xuan Yi who was lying in bed.
She had to admit that this weak and ill Xuan Yi reminded her of the harmless and innocent young man from her impression. He even talked in such a weak tone, making her feel very bad.
Ye Yu sighed and walked to the bed.
“If I don’t come, will I have to wait for someone to carry you back to the Jian Sect?”
“The devil city is too dangerous now. Sister, it’s best if you return to the Jian Sect. In the future, —”
“What about you?”
