At this moment, Wei Aoshu found herself utterly at a loss.
âThe look in oneâs eyes when they like someone canât be hidden.â
This wasnât the first time sheâd heard this phrase, but coming from Zhu Diezhenâs mouth, it sounded unbearably harsh.
The reason was simple.
If anyone deserved to be considered Ye Yuâs first partner, it was Sect Leader Zhu Diezhen herself.
Wei Aoshu had witnessed this firsthand.
Later, Zhu Diezhen even entrusted her to watch over their husband.
So since that time,
Wei Aoshuâs role should have been helper, not rival.
But now, having come this far,
Wei Aoshu felt like a thief.
Not only had she failed to keep watch over Ye Yu for Zhu Diezhen,
she had even secretly fallen for him.
This built an impenetrable wall in her heart.
Every time she faced Zhu Diezhen, she felt timid.
Especially now, with her feelings seen through by the Sect Leader,
Wei Aoshu felt utterly ashamed.
She lowered her head slightly and whispered, âSect Leader, Iâm sorry. Itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have secretly fallen for Brother Ye. Iâm truly sorry!â
Seeing this, the smile on Zhu Diezhenâs face froze.
But she soon grasped the key point.
She stepped forward calmly and said softly, âWhat do you take me for? A jealous woman? Donât be silly.
I donât †NĐŸvĐ”â ight †(Read more on our source) blame youâin fact, I think itâs a good thing.
No matter what, youâre one of my closest people. If you can be a sister to me, why not?
Itâs definitely better than that newcomer Ran Jingjing.â
Hearing this, Wei Aoshu trembled all over, then cautiously looked up and said, âSect Leader, you... you really donât blame me?â
âYe Yu is so outstanding, itâs natural he attracts affection.
I donât mind!
Youâre just overthinking!â
At that moment, Zhu Diezhenâs matronly grace was in full bloom,
perfectly embodying the virtues of kindness, gentleness, benevolence, and magnanimity.
Wei Aoshu thanked Zhu Diezhen repeatedly,
but was decisively rebuffed.
âThatâs enough. This isnât the time for that.
We should hurry to find husband. You wouldnât want to be behind that Jingjing, right?
No time to waste, letâs go!â
Before she finished, Zhu Diezhen grabbed Wei Aoshuâs sleeve and soared into the air.
Within just two breaths,
they arrived outside Ye Yuâs door.
Wei Aoshu was still gathering her thoughts but fully approved of Zhu Diezhenâs suggestion.
They had already missed so many chances before.
Now that Zhu Diezhen personally vouched for her,
how could she afford to miss this?
But unexpectedly,
just as Wei Aoshu and Zhu Diezhen steadied themselves and had yet to knock,
Xin Wanâen arrived with Ran Jingjing.
The four women exchanged glances for a moment.
Xin Wanâen broke the silence first.
âGreetings, Sister Zhu. Are you here to see Yuâer too?â
âOf course. I have urgent matters to discuss with husband. You all wait here for a moment.â
With a wave of her sleeve,
Zhu Diezhen secured a new priority spot for Wei Aoshu.
This bold move
made Wei Aoshuâs eyes shine again, as if transported back to her days in the Mortal Realm.
The Sect Leader truly lived up to her title.
Even in the Heavenly Realm, she still fiercely protected her own.
Xin Wanâen stepped forward half a pace, hesitant to speak.
Some things fear delay.
As the saying goes: a good start leads to exhaustion by the third try.
It was already a struggle to âforceâ Ran Jingjing here.
If Ran Jingjing waited too long and her resolve wavered,
all efforts would be wasted.
After much thought, just as Zhu Diezhen prepared to knock,
Xin Wanâen said, âSister Zhu, actually, Ran Sister and I also have important matters with Yuâer.
Could we please have a little consideration? Just a cup of teaâs time will be enough.
Is that possible?â
Her tone was humble, and the feminine grace she exuded was undeniable.
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Diezhen would have allowed them in without hesitation.
But now was different.
Knowing Xin Wanâen brought Ran Jingjing to compete for a spot,
how could Zhu Diezhen let a longtime follower lose out?
Absolutely impossible.
So just as Zhu Diezhen was about to respond,
Lin Miaoxue approached with a gentle smile.
âSisters, no need to compete!
Husband is already in seclusion, asleep.
There are three formations set outside the door.
We should not disturb him now.â
Hearing this, Ran Jingjing and Xin Wanâen were surprised.
What did she mean?
Do immortals in the Heavenly Realm still need to sleep?
How absurd!
Unlike them, Zhu Diezhen and Wei Aoshu nodded thoughtfully.
They had noticed Ye Yuâs sleeping habits back in the Mortal Realm.
Whenever he slept, he was extremely cautious,
setting formations to lock the door
so as not to be disturbed.
Looks like
todayâs major matter will have to wait.
Zhu Diezhen sighed and shook her head slightly at Wei Aoshu.
âLooks like weâll have to wait until he wakes up.â
Wei Aoshu agreed silently.
The two then left.
Xin Wanâen and Ran Jingjing exchanged glances, their moods low.
They began to wonder if Ye Yu knew what they intended
and was deliberately avoiding them.
Lin Miaoxue seemed to read their thoughts.
She walked over and gently explained,
âHusband often does this. Every so often, he enters seclusion sleep.
During that time, no one is allowed to disturb him.
Usually it lasts a day or two.
If thereâs anything, wait until he wakes.â
Xin Wanâen and Ran Jingjing smiled.
Since it wasnât intentional, that was the best outcome.
Though this âseclusion sleepâ was their first time hearing of it.
They had never encountered it before.
Meanwhile,
inside the room,
Ye Yu was already prepared,
immersing himself fully into the dream state,
simulating a new dream!
[Each time you enter the dream is a new life!]
[Loading map and characters!]
[Selection confirmed!]
[This dreamâs talent: Automatic Cultivation! (Purple)]
[This dream talent is also called âEntrust.â Automatic cultivation lasts half an hour, can be turned on, but cannot be turned off mid-way.]
[Once automatic cultivation is activated, you lose control over your body.]
[Your body will fully engage in self-cultivation, choosing the most correct and quickest path.]
[Ensuring you break through realms worry-free and enjoy a geniusâs life!]
Hearing the systemâs voice,
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow, his expression growing complicated.
Something was fishyâdefinitely fishy.
Automatic cultivation sounded like a huge bug!
How could it only be a purple talent?
And that last sentence sounded just like a scam flyer on a busy street.
