Chapter 177 Lottery!
Ling Wan was pacing anxiously. When Ning Tinglan came to open the door, the noise of her knocking attracted the master and his disciples to come out together.
The master and his disciples all heard what Ling Wan said.
Yun Yici followed Wen Fuyue out of the hall where they had just been talking, and bumped into Ling Wan who was walking inside.
When Ling Wan saw Yun Yici, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior.
But Wen Fuyue frowned and realized that things were not so simple.
He turned to Yun Yici and Ning Tinglan and said, "Clan Chief Ling Wan and I will go and see what's going on. You and your two senior brothers stay here."
Upon hearing this, Ling Wan realized it was a matter of life and death for her, and almost blurted out, "What good will it do you? Let your disciple go!"
Wen Fuyue went there, and whether or not he would persuade the emperor to issue the edict was another matter, but he was clearly going to side with the emperor in the fight.
Ling Wan, who inadvertently stumbled upon the emperor's thoughts, realized that Yun Yici's words were truly useful.
That day, she was kept behind for a private chat by the emperor. When she finally managed to escape, the emperor was still troubled by love and was in deep anger.
Unexpectedly, she saw Yun Yici entering the palace just as she came out.
She waited anxiously for several days, only to find that the emperor was in a very good mood and spoke in a gentle and soft-spoken manner. Not only that, but he even condescended to try a small bite of the seafood that he used to hate the most.
No, I'm in such a good mood???
Ling Wan was shocked.
Ling Wan thought the two had confessed their feelings to each other. She observed for a few days and found that Yun Yici was still focused on cultivation, and the two had no more private contact.
Ling Wan dared not presume to know the Emperor's thoughts.
However, she could see that the emperor's decree was wavering drastically; he was truly planning to give up on becoming partners with a female demon of his own kind.
On the contrary, Yun Yici and his disciples were completely unaware of the Emperor's intentions. They were all like simpletons, going out early and returning late, diligently cultivating and hunting sea beasts.
They had basically wiped out all the dangerous sea monsters near the Tomb Clan.
Ling Wan felt a bitter pang in her heart. She couldn't reveal the Emperor's thoughts, but she hoped that Yun Yici could step in and say a few words of advice to the Emperor.
Yun Yici had no idea what Ling Wan was thinking. Seeing her anxious look, she asked with concern, "How many demon cultivators did the Snake Mother and Shi Tian bring?"
Ling Wan stammered, "No, only the Snake Mother and Shi Tian came."
"But! You know His Majesty's temperament; if a disagreement leads to a fight..."
"When Wulin took over, he only visited the Snake Mother in Jiuqi City and nothing happened."
Ling Wan had known about Di Zhao's ambition for a long time, and she was afraid that Di Zhao would be so stubborn as to directly confront the Snake Mother and the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon.
According to her guess, the emperor should have gone to Jiuqi City to pay homage after killing Wulin.
As a result, things dragged on and on until the Snake Mother could no longer tolerate it and personally came down from the mountain. This time, the Snake Mother and Jiuying might come to hold them accountable.
If the emperor orders someone to be obedient, admit their mistake, and apologize, the matter will probably be over.
The question is, is the emperor the kind of person who would obediently admit his mistakes?
Ling Wan felt that she was about to die, so she rushed over to ask Yun Yici to intervene, hoping that the emperor would realize the beauty of life after seeing Yun Yici.
After listening, Yun Yici said to Wen Fuyue, "I don't think these two came here with the intention of killing us, nor do they seem to be here to hold us accountable."
The Snake Mother has countless demon cultivators under her command. If she wants to attack them or hold them accountable, she can simply send her demon cultivators over. Why bother making the trip herself?
"I don't know if the Snake Mother was caused by the imperial edict, but Shi Tian is probably after me."
Mu Yunjian's voice rang out from behind everyone. Yun Yici turned around and saw him in white robes walking out of the house with Rong Xuan.
He walked up to Wen Fuyue and said, "Master, don't go. I'll go with Ling Wan. You take your junior sister and the others and leave here first."
"If there's nothing else, I'll come looking for you."
Yun Yici couldn't help but speak up to stop her: "What if something happens?"
She racked her brains, realizing that in the story, Mu Yunjian kept the fact that he had obtained the essence of the Nine-Headed Serpent completely a secret and even fabricated the identity of a white auspicious beast for himself, so there was no story of the Nine-Headed Serpent coming to his door.
Mu Yunjian said, "I will come to you if I need anything. There is no such thing as getting a great benefit without any risk in this world."
"I was mentally prepared, so you don't need to worry about me."
Rong Xuan, standing beside Yun Yici, had a calm expression, seemingly unconcerned about Mu Yunjian's life or death, but she said, "Don't go and play the hero alone. Those who came with us should go back together."
Ning Tinglan also said, "When we met Senior Jiuying, my junior sister and I were both there. On the contrary, you were the one who was refining the essence blood the whole time. You spent most of the time in the medicine pool and didn't know anything. It would be better if I went instead of you."
"Besides, this essence blood was originally given to you voluntarily by Senior Jiuying. What's wrong with us?"
After some discussion, the master and his disciples decided that none of them wanted to leave the other to escape alone.
Time was of the essence, so Wen Fuyue ultimately decided to take a few of her disciples with her to check on the situation.
On the way, Yun Yici didn't care about the painful experiences of being tricked by the system several times before.
"System, I want to participate in the lottery."
The system said excitedly, "Good, good, good, don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied this time. If you're not satisfied, I'll kneel down and apologize to you."
The system's credibility with Yunyici has long been negative.
She said, "You said you could make a wish, right?"
"I want a teleportation array that leads to a safe place in the human world, that I can use to travel back and forth, that no one else can open except me, but that I can use to bring others along."
"And don't use it on me now."
Yun Yici was afraid that the dog system would distort her meaning and give her another ridiculous reward, so she even added a bunch of modifiers.
This might be something that could save their lives later, so Yun Yici didn't dare to be careless at all.
The system, bewildered by Yun Yici's string of words, asked in confusion, "Huh?"
"So, you need a teleportation array to get to a safe place, right?"
The system paused for a moment, then excitedly announced, "Congratulations, host, you have drawn a fixed-point teleportation array!"
Upon hearing that the name sounded respectable, Yun Yici quickly said, "Help me set the location to Nanhua Sect, I'm afraid I won't have enough time later."
The system said, "This teleportation array uses people as coordinates for positioning."
Yun Yici quickly reacted: "Then help me locate the position of Sect Leader Gu Ruyi."
Gu Ruyi is the sect leader of Nanhua Sect. She rarely leaves the sect, so being teleported to her side is equivalent to returning directly to the sect.
The system coughed a few times and said, "Actually, this position has already been decided... because you know that using the rewards I give you cannot go against the will of Heaven."
"If you and your disciples were to suddenly appear at the Nanhua Sect from the Demon Realm with the Imperial Edict, it would definitely cause a commotion, so..."
A sense of foreboding rose in Yun Yici's heart: "Whose seat did you choose?"
The system revealed a subtle smile: "Shen Huaichuan."
