My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 962 - 554: Missing a Maid (Double - )

Yin Weiyin glanced up and couldn't see where Chen Yi had gone, feeling a bit flustered. She looked around, and immediately saw him conversing with another woman beneath a tree.

The female crown was about to hurry over but feared showing too much concern for him might reveal her intentions, so she remained where she was.

Her demeanor appeared somewhat indecisive.

Fairy Cai Xia noticed and smiled, "Aren't you going over there?"

"…Go over for what?" Yin Weiyin whispered back.

"Oh, aren't you afraid…" Fairy Cai Xia said slyly, "Aren't you afraid they have an affair?"

Yin Weiyin's ears perked up suddenly.

Seeing their secret transmission-like behavior, could they really have something going on...

However, she still controlled Donggong Ruoshu to pretend an innocent demeanor, questioning, "Affair? This is their first meeting, right?"

"Ha, they've known each other for a long time, and the Fox Immortal Sister has been alone in her empty boudoir for years, with only one daughter. This type of married woman is quite appealing."

Married woman?

Yin Weiyin frowned.

She distinctly remembered preparing a married woman—not just any married woman, but a young widow—for Chen Yi.

"Still not going over? Women should take the initiative, or their husband might get carried away."

Fine, I'll go.

Chen Yi suddenly heard a rustle and turned to see Yin Weiyin jogging over.

Her face bore an awkward concern, and she softly asked, "What are you two... talking about here?"

Chen Yi chuckled, "Nothing much."

His smile seemed more like a cover-up. Yin Weiyin, after a brief contemplation, moved her thought and directly asked, "You two don't have... an affair, do you?"

Chen Yi paused, while the Fox Immortal Sister glanced at the group of immortals and retreated as if to avoid suspicion.

Yin Weiyin caught a glimpse of their snickering and realized she had been fooled, which only made her feel awkward and left her no choice but to deepen her relationship with Chen Yi.

These immortals who are adept at manipulating hearts are truly hateful! Yin Weiyin thought angrily.

"Why do you think that?" Chen Yi asked with a smile.

As his words fell, Yin Weiyin's eyes shifted slightly. Since it was like this, why not follow the game, "Don't men love beauties?"

"Don't overthink it; it's not just about beauty, it's about having elegance."

Yin Weiyin retorted, "Hmph, everyone says they like elegance."

Chen Yi paused, and Donggong Ruoshu's petty demeanor inexplicably stirred something inside.

But it quickly subsided.

The Fox Immortal Sister had already led those immortals away.

......

In a room separated by a wall.

The lips of several Saint Heirs moved silently, the entire chamber fell into deep silence.

"Damn, are they from Dragon and Tiger Mountain?!"

"Why are they here, too? Are they also after the Vacuum Home?!"

"Unsure, but they are surely here for that tower," said Azure Lotus Adept, looking grave, "It's not easy to deal with. It's none other than Zhao Tong who's here!"

Formerly a Taoist, Azure Lotus Adept was admitted to the sect and received the Holy Mother's patronage to become a Saint Heir. His understanding of mountain matters was indeed more profound than his siblings. Zhao Tong's fame in the Southern Taoist circles was renowned to anyone in cultivation.

"This Zhao Tong, twenty years ago at the Chongyang Palace debate, overwhelmed the Quanzhen Seven Sons with the Heavenly Master Sword at a young age, well before coming of age. At that time, he was only in the Foundation Establishment Realm but could resonate with the millennium-old Thunder Pool in Chongyang Palace.

This man's schemes are frightening. The flying sword we encountered in the Demon Refining Abyss must be his doing; his fame is well-deserved. If he wasn't just an adopted son, he might have already been a successor, preparing to inherit the Heavenly Master position."

"Are you saying..." another Saint Heir gripped his sword hilt tightly, "the one who during the debate had the Heavenly Thunder open the cavern?"

"It's him. His abilities... I fear none of us could face him alone," Azure Lotus Adept rasped.

The Saint Heirs fell into a prolonged silence, exchanging glances with one another.

Unspoken agreements communicated more than words.

Strike first to gain the upper hand, kill him early!

So... who takes the first move?

The teams seemed only separated by a wall, yet Dragon and Tiger Mountain stood prestigious as the Taoist Ancestor Court. Who knew what life-saving methods Zhao Tong might possess; if they couldn't succeed in one strike, it would undoubtedly lead to a brutal fight.

Despite the White Lotus Sect's numbers, they weren't overwhelming; moreover, Zhao Tong and the Dragon Tiger Mountain people knew the environment better, giving them a geographical advantage. Who would prevail was hard to say.

"What should we do?" Huang Duren glanced at everyone, "If we don't make a move, what then?"

"No hurry, let's plan carefully first," said Violet Compassion Sage.

"The primary target is Zhao Tong. Huang Liudi and I will break through the wall to attack, Brother Chi will crouch outside the window and launch a sneak attack. If we don't succeed in one strike, Brother Chi can seize another opportunity to inflict serious injury. Brother Zi, if the three of us still don't succeed, you will look for the right moment…"

After discussing for a moment, a plan began to take shape.

"Then… first divert those people's attention. The time is short, only the length of a breath... We need someone to go knock on their room door," Violet Compassion Sage slowly concluded.

The remaining Saint Heirs nodded, all agreeing with the plan. Though Zhao Tong was just a wall away, no one knew if he was prepared, and in case there were talismans on the wall, it would be walking into a trap. To ensure safety, it was better to first distract those Daoists by sending someone to knock and evaluate the situation.

As for who would knock,

Azure Lotus Adept stood up, "Get ready, I'll head out now." He immediately got up and went to the door.

Suddenly,

Knock.

Azure Lotus Adept's steps halted.

Was it the wind?

Knock, knock, knock.

It wasn't the wind, someone was knocking! The three Saint Heirs quickly lifted their heads; in the dark shadowy room, not a single one moved. Azure Lotus Adept also froze, a cold sweat slowly trickled down as the entire chamber plunged into an eerie silence.
