Xiao Yan was by herself calming down for most of the night before returning.
She didn't speak to Fang Zhou, but also didn't yell and threaten anymore.
This attitude made both Fang Zhou and Han Li pleasantly surprised, proving that Xiao Yan had accepted Fang Zhou's explanation and no longer saw him as an enemy.
However, the emotional barrier isn't easily dissolved, so she probably still won't pay attention to Fang Zhou in the short term.
Battos's tent over there had already exploded, making it impossible to return for a while, so the three could only find a random place on the vast grassland to spend the night.
Han Li diligently made a bonfire and even caught two rabbits to roast.
Since ascending to Innate, fasting had become a practice, but the habit of eating wasn't so easy to change.
The atmosphere was somewhat dreary, and Han Li continuously tried to liven it up, even telling jokes she wasn't good at, but with little effect, as the jokes turned into cold jokes, making the atmosphere even more awkward.
Fang Zhou suddenly said, "Stay here and don't run around, I am going out for a bit."
Han Li didn't ask the reason, just nodded: "Be careful on the road."
After Fang Zhou left, Xiao Yan secretly heaved a sigh of relief; sitting with this former fiancé and antagonist was utterly awkward for her.
Han Li suddenly leaned over and asked, "Sister, what do you think of Fang Zhou?"
Xiao Yan glanced sideways at her: "Sister, why are you asking this?"
Han Li smiled embarrassedly: "You are no longer enemies, he was still your fiancé before..."
Before Han Li could finish, Xiao Yan immediately said decisively: "You don't need to say anymore sister, I won't have anything to do with this man anymore, now to me he only has one identity, that is brother-in-law."
Xiao Yan's firm attitude made Han Li slightly relieved.
Although she felt guilty about probing her sister, she had no choice but to do so.
Han Li was willing to share everything with Xiao Yan, except for this man.
Of course, Xiao Yan also understood Han Li's meaning, and indeed she didn't want to have any connection with Fang Zhou anymore.
But there's one thing Xiao Yan has forgotten, or forced herself to forget—that Fang Zhou was not only her fiancé but also her love at first sight's first love.
She buried this deep in her heart, not even telling Han Li, nor the Medicine Lady.
...
Fang Zhou didn't go far, both Han Li and Xiao Yan were within the range of his Divine Sense, he could perceive their every move, including their conversation.
After listening, Fang Zhou only had one thought in his heart—indeed, because sisterly bonds mean sharing men is overthinking.
Whether in Fang Zhou's past life, or in this world, sharing vehicles was very common, public vehicles becoming private vehicles, private vehicles becoming public wasn't unheard of.
But first you have to treat partners as tools, or be forced, only then would one do such things.
The women Fang Zhou knew wouldn't treat him as a tool, and nobody could force them, naturally they wouldn't do such sharing men actions.
Fang Zhou flew forward slowly, soon a graceful figure in white appeared on the grassland.
Yun Zheyue.
"Senior sister, have you already thought it over?"
Fang Zhou got straight to the point.
Yun Zheyue looked at him tenderly, saying: "Junior brother, can you accompany me for a chat first?"
Fang Zhou nodded, they didn't continue flying in the air but landed on the grass, walking side by side under the moonlight.
Fang Zhou wanted to find a topic, but Yun Zheyue initiated the conversation about her own matters.
She talked about some troublesome things she encountered while undercover in the True Mother God Sect, and her coping methods.
Fang Zhou suddenly understood why Yun Zheyue came to find him, she was there to vent.
Fang Zhou stopped talking, silently being a listener.
Yun Zheyue spoke almost without restraint, pouring all her feelings out to Fang Zhou.
In the cult she had to be very cautious to protect herself, every step she took carefully, every word spoken was deeply thought about, afraid of saying something wrong and exposing her identity; the pressure was immense.
All these years, she didn't dare reveal her feelings even to confidants, bearing it all quietly.
Now coming across this junior brother, even though it's only the third meeting, the special relationship allows her to unreservedly pour her pressure onto Fang Zhou.
"Sorry, junior brother, even though I asked you to chat with me, in the end, I was the only one talking."
Yun Zheyue spoke for a long time before she suddenly stopped, apologizing to Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou shook his head: "It's okay, I am just thirsty and don't feel like talking."
Yun Zheyue smiled slightly, after a moment of silence, she continued: "Junior brother, I have thought it over, I won't be leaving the True Mother God Sect for now."
"Oh?"
Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
He thought Yun Zheyue's midnight complaints about the cult were preparations to leave.
Yun Zheyue explained: "Master doesn't know when she will return, so I should stay in the True Mother God Sect, I can also observe Bisha Heavenly King's movements, once Master comes back, I'll seek help from her."
Fang Zhou chuckled: "When you meet her in the future, you might want to avoid calling her 'elder'."
Yun Zheyue suddenly followed with a smile, her big eyes curved into crescent moons: "I understand, Master is forever seventeen."
The atmosphere lightened up as the senior sister and junior brother bantered about their master.
Fang Zhou asked: "Have you sorted things out on your end?"
Yun Zheyue nodded, aside from Fang Zhou's people, the accompanying personnel were all her loyalists, the only outsider was Hei Long who was still unconscious, allowing her to sneak out tonight.
Fang Zhou was reassured: "If you wish to stay further, I won't stop you, if anything happens you can talk to Gu Caiwei, have her send me a message."
Yun Zheyue nodded, her whole heart was warm, all these years no matter what trouble she encountered she endured alone, now there was finally someone who cared about her, this feeling was so nice.
She gazed at Fang Zhou with increasingly tender eyes, liking this junior brother very much.
After chatting for a while, Yun Zheyue reluctantly bid farewell to Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou returned to Han Li and Xiao Yan's side.
Through Han Li's efforts, Xiao Yan's mood had finally recovered; although she still didn't pay attention to Fang Zhou, she wasn't deliberately putting on a sour face.
Fang Zhou said to them: "Have you thought about where to go next?"
Han Li and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, the two had just reunited and immediately encountered enemies today, having no time to discuss where to go next.
Fang Zhou continued: "I'll remind you, both the righteous and evil paths are searching for you now, the Demon Sect too, and they'll increasingly focus on it."
Their hearts sank, the combination of the righteous and evil paths plus the Demon Sect formed an inescapable net, leaving almost no place to hide in the Cultivation World.
Xiao Yan was silent for a while and then said: "I can hide in some remote places."
Fang Zhou smiled faintly: "The foot of the Heavenly Mountain is remote enough, yet you were still found."
Xiao Yan gave him a sideways glance, pouting: "I'll… I'll just find some deep mountains to hide in, see if they can still find me."
Han Li gently patted Xiao Yan's hand, she wasn't overly nervous, as Fang Zhou wouldn't have mentioned it without having a solution.
"Where do you think we could hide away?"
