Feng Yili did not insist after hearing Gao Shixuan’s words. He turned around and said to Jiang Chuan, “Jiang Chuan, follow them and help them to resolve unnecessary trouble.”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
Yu Yunxi held the little bun’s hand and asked, “By the way, what are your plans after picking Zixiu up?
“Second Senior Brother and I plan to return to the sect. We did so many stupid things back then. Master must still be angry with me. I have to return and apologize properly,” Gao Shixuan said with a bitter smile.
“It’s not time for Wuya Valley to open its gates yet. Even if you go back, you won’t be able to enter the sect and see Master,” Feng Yili said.
“Wuya Valley? The three of you are Senior Wuya Zit s disciples?”
Yu Yunxi looked as though she had just discovered a huge secret at this moment. She stared at Feng Yili in disbelief.
Wuya Zi was known as the most knowledgeable person in the world. Whether it was civil affairs or military affairs, there was nothing he did not know.
Yu Yunxi knew that Feng Yili’s master was not simple, but she did not expect the other party to be Wuya Zi.
“Why are you surprised?” Feng Yili asked with a hint of helplessness.
“It’s only natural. After all, Senior Wuya Zi is someone I look up to. I’ve visited many times over the years, but I couldn’t enter Wuya Valley,” Yu Yunxi said, looking depressed.
Feng Yili explained, “Outsiders aren’t allowed to enter Wuya Valley. It’s surrounded by mountains and rivers on all sides, and there are many traps around it. Every year, the gates will only open once in October. It’s sealed for the rest of the time. Even disciples like us can’t come and go as we please.”
“I see.”
Yu Yunxi nodded. After a moment, she asked tentatively, “Then, when you visit your master in the future, can I follow you?”
She wondered if her request was too presumptuous. After all, many prominent figures in the world wanted to meet Wuya Zi, but they could not even meet him.
Feng Yili could not help but smile slightly when he saw how nervous Yu Yunxi was. He said calmly, “Don’t worry. If you want to meet Master, I’ll bring you there. Master once said that when I find a woman to accompany me for the rest of my life, I should bring her back to meet him.”
“That’s great! I just realized there’s an advantage to being your Princess Consort,” Yu Yunxi said happily.
Feng Yili’s smile faded a little.
‘Is it possible that I’m not as charming as Master even though I’m her husband?’
Seeing that Feng Yili only had eyes for Yu Yunxi, Liu Xiaolan coughed lightly and said, “Uh, we’re still here…”
Feng Yili’s expression turned serious again when he heard Liu Xiaolan’s voice.
Then, he asked, “Wuya Valley won’t be open so soon. What are your plans?”
“Well…”
Liu Xiaolan and Gao Shixuan looked troubled.
Finally, Yu Yunxi took the initiative to suggest, saying, “Why don’t you stay with us for the time being? You can leave when Wuya Valley opens…”
“But, won’t this be troublesome for you?” Gao Shixuan asked worriedly, frowning.
“It’s fine. There are a few courtyards at the back of the Revival Hall. I’ll get someone to buy them and expand the hall,” Yu Yunxi said as she shook her head.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ve already asked someone to buy a house in the city. It’s the same size as the original Prince Regent’s Residence and can accommodate many people,” Feng Yili said.
“When did you buy such a big house?” Yu Yunxi asked in shock.
It was not easy to buy a house as big as the Prince Regent’s Residence in the capital, after all. How did Feng Yili arrange everything so quickly?
“The night before you left the capital for Xinan, I had already started making arrangements. I knew you didn’t like the Prince Regent’s Residence so I wanted to build a new one for you. I didn’t expect…”
Yu Yunxi knew what Feng Yili wanted to say even though he did not finish his words. He was going to say that before he could tell her about it, she had already run away. She looked away awkwardly. At that time, there were many things she was unaware of so she had acted rashly.
At this time, Liu Xiaolan nodded and said, “Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother. I’ll have to trouble both of you then. I’m going to pick up my son with Shixuan now.”
After saying that, Liu Xiaowan and Gao Shixuan quickly left.
After that, Jian Xin walked over and said softly, “Prince Regent, Yunxi, Qing, since I’ve returned to the capital, I should also go where I should go.”
“Sister, what do you mean?”
Qian Qing’s heart sank when she heard Jian Xin’s words.
“I’ve already promised the Emperor that I’d cultivate with the Imperial Preceptor. Since he’s not in the capital now, I’ll go to the monastery first,” Jian Xin explained gently.
“Sister, why must you go to the monastery? To help the imperial family cover up their scandal? The one who made a mistake was Prince Rui. What does it have to do with you? If I had known that you planned to go to the monastery after coming back to the capital, I’d have stopped you and made you stay in Xinan!” Qian Qing protested vehemently. Her eyes were red as she spoke.
“Don’t worry. I’ll just be staying in the monastery. I won’t be a nun. I don’t have to shave my hair. I’ll be staying in the monastery outside the capital so you can look for me at any time,” Jian Xin said gently, comforting Qian Qing.
However, Qian Qing did not relent. She said, “No, Sister. I don’t agree with you going to the monastery…”
It was not easy for Jian Xin to escape from her miserable life, Qian Qing did not want Jian Xin to suffer anymore.
“Silly girl, it’s not a bad thing to stay in the monastery. This way, I can pray for you,” Jian Xin said gently.
“No, Sister…”
Qian Qing shook her head.
At this moment, Feng Yili said in a low voice, “In my opinion, her decision is quite good.”
Everyone turned to look at Feng Yili in unison.
Yu Yunxi frowned and discreetly pinched the flesh on his waist.
“Although the matter with Prince Rui seems to have passed, the imperial court is still in turmoil. Even if she stays in Xinan, the imperial family might not let her go. The safest choice for her is to stay in the monastery,” Feng Yili said slowly.
Everyone fell silent when they heard this.
Yu Yunxi’s expression turned slightly grim as she speculated inwardly, ‘Did Marquis Luo say something about Sister Jian to Feng Yili earlier?’
Meanwhile, Jian Xin held Qian Qing’s hand and persuaded the latter gently,
“Qing, did you hear that? I agree with the Prince Regent. It’s best for everyone if I go to the monastery…”
