Chapter 1025: Chapter 658 Oh Tribulation Pill! Tribulation Pill!_2

As she approached the small courtyard, she suddenly stopped, vigorously rubbing her face, trying to erase the faint trace of redness around her eyes.

As a Fifth Grade Taiyi Immortal, she was a notable figure both in the Mortal Realm and in the Immortal Court.

She was no longer the little girl protected by her sect, and naturally, she could no longer act like a naive daughter.

When she left Shenxu Mountain to join the Demon Slayer Bureau, she had already made up her mind, but now returning to Shenxu Mountain and seeing the elders silently ignoring the great disaster at Dan Peak still left her somewhat disheartened.

Wrong is wrong, and right is right.

In this Immortal Sect, why is it so hard to reason out what is right and wrong?

This was something she had long understood, yet under the sting of that disheartenment, she exceptionally lost her composure.

"Sigh."

Ye Lan closed her eyes, realizing that her impulsiveness could potentially bring trouble to others.

She couldn’t fathom how she managed to say "It’s not a rumor."

It was completely contrary to her original intention for returning.

Moreover, whether in terms of strength or Alchemy Dao cultivation, she had no qualifications to compete with Sixth Peak.

With this thought, the handsome face of the young man in dark attire emerged in her mind.

He casually took away the Pill Book, leaving behind the words... "What’s there to be afraid of?"

It seemed this scene had provided Ye Lan with some confidence.

But having calmed down now, she sensed something amiss. Shen Yi hadn’t promised anything; it might well have been a misunderstanding created by her own overthinking.

If that were true, then today’s actions would have been utterly meaningless, bordering on farcical.

Even assuming Shen Yi did have that intention, as a Loose Cultivator, he was completely unaware of the depth of Shenxu Mountain’s heritage.

Could a single Seventh Grade Elixir and demonstrated talent in Alchemy Dao really shake the longstanding foundation of Sixth Peak?

"I must be crazy."

Ye Lan removed her palms; it was excusable for the young and inexperienced Shen Yi not to realize the danger, but she, no longer a naive cultivator, not only did not dissuade him, but added fuel to the fire.

If she ended up harming him, how would she face the Hongze Countryfolk who harbored high expectations for him?

That’s it, I’ll leave tomorrow.

Thinking thus, Ye Lan hastened her steps, returning to the courtyard atop the mountain.

"Sister, you’re back."

Ye Jing, worried, waited at the courtyard gate until she saw her sister return, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief slightly.

Knowing her sister well, Ye Jing knew that compared to her proficiency with the sword, her sister’s verbal abilities were much poorer.

She must have faced many grievances at the Eight Peaks council, and who knows how aggrieved she felt returning so seemingly calm now.

"Let’s eat first."

Having returned to this courtyard, her sister was more accustomed to the life of the Mortal Realm. Despite being unstained by dust and having mastered the art of inedia, the routines of washing up, sleeping, and eating were legacies of Dan Peak distinct from the other peaks.

"Alright."

Ye Lan forced a smile and followed her sister into the house.

The dim candlelight seemed to add an unusual warmth to the room. At the side of the desk, illuminated by the light and shadows, Shen Yi’s handsome profile became even more striking as he picked up some food with one hand and...

Ye Lan noticed the Elixir Book in his hand and subconsciously pursed her lips.

But it was just for a moment, and she moved her gaze away as if she hadn’t seen it.

Shen Yi, diligently studying like this, that scene back in the Alchemy Workshop might not have been a misunderstanding.

As the Peak Master of Dan Peak, wrapped in personal interests, she of course felt delighted by his diligence; after all, she had nothing more to lose anyhow.

But beyond this identity, she was also the General Yan Lan of the Divine Dynasty and Shen Yi was a Demon Slayer Officer under her command; she had to bear full responsibility for his safety.

This must be a misunderstanding!

Ye Lan quietly moved to the table, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, ready to quickly finish her meal and rest.

"Tomorrow we’ll set off..." As she picked up a piece of vegetable with her chopsticks, she casually reminded him, but before she could finish, the young man sitting nearby put down the Elixir Book and looked over with his eyes turned sideways.

At such a close distance, she could even smell the fresh scent from his body, the faint trace of blood from months of travel having dissipated.

"What is a Tribulation Pill?" Shen Yi asked curiously in his voice.

"You’ve read up to there already?" Ye Lan’s action of picking up food subconsciously froze, and the next moment, she swiftly responded, "No, I mean, we’re heading back tomorrow."

"..."

Hearing this, Shen Yi fell silent.

After a while, he slowly exhaled a sigh.

Sitting nearby, Ye Jing felt the atmosphere grow somewhat strange and dared not even breathe heavily.

The next moment, she saw Brother Shen slightly turning his body, his deep dark eyes staring straight at her sister.

"Can you not be like this, it’s really annoying," Shen Yi put down the Elixir Book and chopsticks.

"I...What did I do?" Ye Lan was equally stunned, not even realizing that being his subordinate, he had no place to speak to her like this.

"Obstructing my cultivation."

Shen Yi stared into Ye Lan’s eyes, his tone suddenly serious: "You know, I want the Taixu Dao Fruit."

In the Law Storage Pavilion, I spent a day expending Six Tribulations Life Span, dealing with incredibly exhausting complexities, not for the sake of playing house with the woman in front of me.

"If you want it, and I want it too, then can we stop hesitating and beating around the bush?"

"It’s really meaningless to go round and round like this."

Listening to the harsh words ringing in her ears, Ye Jing, already stupefied, was completely frozen in shock.
