Reunion with Xin Ruyin

"You two seniors have arrived! Please come in quickly!" Qi Yunxiao said with a look of surprise and delight. At the same time, he removed the protective array and respectfully invited Li Yunfan and the other person inside.

However, when he saw Qu Hun behind Han Li, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he did not ask any questions. Now, after his relationship with Xin Ruyin, he had become much more reserved and knew what he should and should not ask.

However, Han Li had already noticed the strange look in the other person's eyes, so as soon as he entered the house, he explained it to the other person, which made the other person look amazed.

"Seeing that Fellow Daoist Qi is safe and sound, it seems that nothing has happened during this time. I can finally put my mind at ease," Li Yunfan said with a smile after taking his seat.

Qi Yunxiao quickly realized what Li Yunfan meant and chuckled in thanks.

"Thanks to the reminders from the two seniors, Yunxiao was able to evade the Fu family's investigation. The cultivators you killed earlier were actually disciples of the Fu family. Not long after you left, the Fu family began searching for the murderer in this area. Fortunately, thanks to your reminders, I didn't give myself away and was able to survive until today."

"The Fu family? I didn't expect those cultivators to be disciples of the Fu family." Han Li said with some surprise.

Although he was not from Yuanwu Kingdom, he had learned about the general situation of some forces when he came to the market of Yuanwu Kingdom before. The Fu family was among them, so he was somewhat surprised when he heard that the cultivators surrounding Xin Ruyin were actually disciples of the Fu family.

Li Yunfan nodded inwardly, it seemed that the other party had indeed escaped this calamity because of his reminder.

Therefore, as long as one is willing to intervene in a matter, it is possible to change its original course. However, the premise is that the other party can trust one and listen to one's advice. Otherwise, it is still impossible to change. Wasn't that Senior Brother Lin the best example?

However, what Li Yunfan didn't know was that the reason Qi Yunxiao was able to escape this deadly situation was not because of his warning, but because he had extracted the souls of those Fu family disciples, leading them to believe that it was the work of a demonic cultivator.

Originally, they only wanted to suppress the matter, but some rumors still leaked out. So, in order to save face for the family, the Fu family had no choice but to send some disciples to search.

However, these disciples already knew that the murderer was likely a demonic cultivator, not only with considerable cultivation but also skilled in soul-extraction techniques. Therefore, they were all extremely cautious and did not put their hearts into the search, merely going through the motions for the sake of their superiors.

It was precisely because of this that Qi Yunxiao escaped this deadly ordeal.

"By the way, did you two come here today for that ancient teleportation array?" Qi Yunxiao suddenly realized the purpose of Li Yunfan and the other man's visit.

Han Li and Li Yunfan exchanged a glance and nodded in undisguised agreement.

"Indeed, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xin has finished repairing it?"

"I may have to disappoint you, senior," Qi Yunxiao said with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan remained calm, but Han Li frowned slightly. After all, this teleportation array was crucial to his ability to leave Yue Kingdom, so he was naturally more concerned.

Seeing Han Li frown, Qi Yunxiao's heart sank, and he quickly explained.

"But don't worry, senior. Ruyin has already repaired seventy or eighty percent of that ancient teleportation array. Only a few difficult parts remain. If you give me a few more days, senior, I will definitely be able to repair it completely. Please don't be angry with me because of this."

After Qi Yunxiao finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Li Yunfan and the other person with a nervous expression.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, you are overthinking it. We both know that the ancient teleportation array is very difficult to repair, so we will not be dissatisfied with you and Fellow Daoist Xin because of it. You don't need to be too nervous." Li Yunfan raised his hand and released a burst of spiritual power to lift Qi Yunxiao up, and said with a kind expression.

"Indeed, I was too hasty just now. This ancient teleportation array is extremely important to me, which is why I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. I apologize for making you laugh, Fellow Daoist Qi." Han Li had now regained his composure and said to Qi Yunxiao with a faint smile.

Upon hearing their words, Qi Yunxiao was finally relieved. However, he dared not accept their apologies so readily, and quickly waved his hand, his face flushed as he spoke.

"No, no, no, it is the younger generation that is narrow-minded, while the two seniors are magnanimous. How could the younger generation dare to ridicule the seniors!"

Li Yunfan chuckled. He knew that Qi Yunxiao was a kind-hearted and honest man, so he didn't say anything more and moved on to the next topic.

"Since Fellow Daoist Xin has encountered some difficulties, and we happen to have nothing else to do, why don't we go and sit with Fellow Daoist Xin? Perhaps we can help with the repair of the ancient teleportation array."

"Then I will thank the two seniors on behalf of Ruyin!" Qi Yunxiao was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly nodded.

Afterwards, the three people and the corpse left the stone house. Li Yunfan led Qi Yunxiao, and Han Li led Qu Hun. Together they flew to the small bamboo forest where Xin Ruyin lived.

Several hours later, they arrived above the nameless hill where Xin Ruyin lived. Seeing that the place was still shrouded in mist, they stopped in the air. Qi Yunxiao took out a sound transmission talisman and threw it down.

A moment later, the mist swirled and gradually revealed a passage about ten feet wide.

"Seniors, Ruyin has received my communication talisman and opened the formation. Let's go down quickly," Qi Yunxiao said with a cupped hand and a smile.

Li Yunfan and Han Li exchanged a glance and flew into the misty passage one after the other. As soon as they entered, the surrounding mist spread out again, completely blocking the passage.

The passage was very long. After flying for sixty or seventy zhang, the three of them could vaguely see the exit. Just when they were five or six zhang away from the exit, Xin Ruyin's voice suddenly came.

"I wonder who the person behind Senior Han is? I've never seen them before."

Han Li chuckled and immediately began to explain.

"Fellow Daoist Xin misunderstands. The person behind me is not a living person, but an armored corpse that I have created. You can find out by using your divine sense."

Just as Han Li uttered these words, Li Yunfan and he stopped advancing simultaneously, patiently waiting for Xin Ruyin to identify Qu Hun's corpse-refining identity.

Sure enough, a moment later, Xin Ruyin's slightly apologetic voice rang out again.

"It was a misunderstanding, Ruyin. Please forgive me, seniors. Please come in, both of you!"

The two then controlled their magical flying boat to fly out of the passage. As soon as they flew out, their eyes lit up and the bamboo house complex they had visited before reappeared before them.

"This humble woman, Xin Ruyin, greets you two seniors!"

Upon seeing Li Yunfan and his companion appear, Xin Ruyin immediately stepped forward and gracefully bowed with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Xin, there's no need for such formalities!" Li Yunfan replied with a smile, and Han Li smiled and nodded in return.

Xiao Mei, the maid behind him, stepped forward and bowed to the two of them.

"Yin'er, the two seniors came for the ancient teleportation array. I've already explained it to them, and they weren't angry at all. In fact, they'll help you repair it!"

Qi Yunxiao was already impatient. As soon as the others finished their polite words, he rushed up to Xin Ruyin and said.

When Xin Ruyin heard Qi Yunxiao address her so affectionately, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she glared at him with a hint of annoyance.

Although the two have not yet officially married, they have already pledged their lives to each other. Qi Yunxiao usually addresses her in this way, but now, in front of Li Yunfan and Han Li, he calls her that so affectionately. How could Xin Ruyin not be shy?

However, Xin Ruyin was not one to be coy. After a moment, she regained her composure and smiled as she invited Li Yunfan and the other person into the house.
