Chapter 194 Return to Huaxuemen

This night seemed particularly long. The two of them were alone in the deep mountains, but they were silent, making the atmosphere seem depressing. Only the sound of a few flames bursting from the campfire from time to time.

Taking advantage of the firelight, Yu Wanqing looked at Ye Chunyang's honest and round face, frowning secretly, as if she had something to say, but she didn't say a word for a long time.

The cold wind in the middle of the night was a bit cold, but the two of them were not sleepy. They just sat opposite each other by the campfire, each thinking about their own thoughts.

"You... How have you been these years? I heard that when you entered the sect, you were captured by Master Biluo. Did she..."

After hesitating for a long time, Yu Wanqing couldn't help asking out loud, but in the end, she stopped talking and couldn't continue.

Ye Chunyang raised his head, and naturally knew that the other party wanted to ask if he had been taken by the Fairy Biluo.

He laughed in his heart, thinking that the old witch was not capable of taking his essence, and then shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Master just took me to help her manage the medicine field, nothing else."

Yu Wanqing frowned slightly, with a look of doubt.

She did not ask further, nor did she tell Ye Chunyang that she had visited Biluo Cave Mansion to inquire about him a few years ago.

After a moment of concentration, she changed the subject and asked, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Uncle Master Biluo in recent years. I wonder if she is still in the mansion?"

Ye Chunyang's heart moved.

The old witch was killed by him a long time ago, so it was impossible to see her again. Yu Wanqing asked at this time. Could it be that everyone in Huaxue Sect had become suspicious?

If so, I'm afraid Huaxue Sect can't stay for long.

After a change of mind, Ye Chunyang shook his head calmly: "Master Biluo is not in the mansion. A few years ago, she only told me to take care of the medicine field, and then she went down the mountain and has not returned since then."

Yu Wanqing nodded, said "I see", and stopped asking.

Of course, she also knew that the old witch of Fairy Biluo had many enemies, and in recent years, the Huaxue Sect and the Tianxing Sect had a deep grudge. Maybe the old witch was plotted against after she went down the mountain, otherwise why has she not returned to the sect for so long?

This Ye Xiaobao has clear eyes and his expression does not change. On the outside, he is just an ordinary child picking medicine, but Yu Wanqing knows that in his clear eyes, there must be a huge secret hidden, but unfortunately she can't find it out anyway.

Afterwards, the two chatted again, and Yu Wanqing also tried to dig out the mystery of this person, but she stopped at a certain point and did not dare to cross the thunder boundary.

Moreover, she never mentioned how Ye Chunyang appeared here before, nor did she ask him if he heard or saw anything.

It was in this tacit understanding that the two talked about this and that, and tested each other, but in the end, neither side gained anything.

Although this night was strange, it was still dawn after all.

When the dawn first appeared, Ye Chunyang got up from meditation. Although he had not slept all night, there was no fatigue on his face.

At this time, Yu Wanqing also stood up, and her tall figure was bathed in the morning light, with a charming style.

"I came down the mountain this time to spy on the sect. Now that the mission is completed, I will return to the mountain now. What are your plans next?"

After a night together, Yu Wanqing did not get any useful information from Ye Chunyang. Instead, she felt that the secrets hidden in this person were far greater than hers, which made her feel a little complicated.

"I am also planning to return to Huaxue Sect." Ye Chunyang said straightforwardly.

"That's fine, we can go together."

Yu Wanqing nodded, and while speaking, she summoned a flying sword, her figure was as graceful as a startled wild goose, she stepped up, and her figure turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the forest.

Ye Chunyang followed calmly.

This place is the deep mountains of Tianchong. He doesn't believe that Yu Wanqing came here just to complete the sect's mission. There must be other purposes.

Especially the way she talked to herself last night, no matter how you look at it, this woman is definitely not ordinary.

But since that night, this woman no longer has the feminine look when she talked to herself that night, and she has always been lonely and cold, which makes Ye Chunyang wonder if what he saw at that time was an illusion.

But after some contact later, this woman was very concerned about whether she heard or saw anything, which shows that she deliberately concealed it. Such a weird behavior is inevitable to make people feel strange.

But Ye Chunyang is not a nosy person. Apart from a few casual chats along the way, he no longer had any other intersections with her.

After five days of this slightly weird interaction, they returned to the Huaxue Mountains.

As soon as the woman entered the mountain, she left without saying goodbye and quickly returned to her cave.

Ye Chunyang looked at her receding figure, frowned slightly, and quickly flew to the medicine field.

Not long after the two left, a yellow-shirted girl suddenly appeared here. After looking in the direction of the two people's departure, a little coldness appeared on her face.

Then she also moved and flew to a place where spiritual energy gathered.

…

Ye Chunyang was returning to the medicine field when he saw a figure stomping back and forth outside the forbidden magic barrier, with an anxious look on his face.

He was naturally familiar with this person, who was Zhang Sanqi who was saved by him.

Speaking of saving his life that day, this person became close to Ye Chunyang, often came to the medicine field to help cultivate spiritual herbs, and took the initiative to take over some heavy work. After a few visits, the two of them were quite close.

Ye Chunyang saw that although this person was in the devil's way, he was not malicious by nature and wanted to make friends with him. Seeing his anxious look, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Brother Zhang, are you here to look for me?"

Flying down from the sky, Ye Chunyang suddenly appeared beside Zhang Sanqi.

Zhang Sanqi, who was anxious, was shocked to see him falling from the sky, and then he was surprised.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Ye, you are finally back. Where have you been during this period? I have sent so many communication talismans but received no response."

"Nothing, I was in urgent need of a few medicinal materials for alchemy some time ago, so I went down the mountain to find them. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to say hello to my fellow disciples." Ye Chunyang smiled and said: "Brother, you look hurried, but what happened?"

Zhang Sanqi looked around, with a little vigilance in his expression, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, cast a spell to open the medicine field barrier, and motioned him to follow him in.

Zhang Sanqi's expression moved, and he hurriedly followed Ye Chunyang in.

After entering the cave, Ye Chunyang looked at the other party with a bit of strangeness. It seemed that this guy seemed to have something to ask for, so he smiled and said, "I wonder why you are here, brother?"

Zhang Sanqi was a little embarrassed, but after hearing this, he was obviously happy and said, "Since you, brother Ye, have said so, then I will speak up. I actually have something to ask for."

"Brother, please tell me what you want. If I can help, I will do my best." Ye Chunyang said frankly.

Zhang Sanqi pondered for a few times and said, "I wonder if you have heard about the three-year exam of Huaxue Sect?"

"I have heard a little about it. It is an exam for outer disciples in the sect. Those who pass the exam can be selected into the inner sect and worship under the elders." Ye Chunyang nodded.

After a pause, he said, "But it is said that there is still a year before the exam. Why did you suddenly mention this?"

Although Ye Chunyang was not interested in the inside of Huaxue Sect, he had been here for the past few years and knew some news.

Only disciples who have reached the eighth level of Qi Refining are eligible to participate in this assessment. Zhang Sanqi is one of them. I think he has prepared a lot for this over the years, but I don’t know why he told me about this?

“The big exam has always been held every three years, but in recent years, the Huaxue Sect and the Tianxing Sect have frequently fought bloody battles, and there is a shortage of elites in the inner sect. Therefore, this assessment was advanced by a year. I am not talented, so I want to try to see if I can pass the assessment this time.”

Zhang Sanqi smiled and said.

Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Brother, you have reached the eighth level of Qi Refining now, which is not bad for an outer sect. You will definitely pass the test."

Hearing such praise, Zhang Sanqi was quite pleased, but then he looked bitter and sighed, "But you don't know, brother, the test question you drew this time is to hunt a young spirit-tailed marten. After much inquiry, I finally found out the whereabouts of this marten, but I didn't expect it to be so cunning that it still escaped after many attempts. It has now escaped into the Tianyan mist. There is really nothing I can do."

"Tianyan mist?"

Ye Chunyang was startled, but he understood why Zhang Sanqi felt it was difficult.

"That's right. This piece of mist is not big, but it is an extremely dangerous place. Even cultivators like us will get lost in it. If we can't get this spirit-tailed marten, I'm afraid I will miss the opportunity to become a disciple in this big test."

Zhang Sanqi sighed.

But as if thinking of something, he looked at Ye Chunyang with a warm look, and said: "But I heard that this marten likes to eat spiritual herbs. I came to ask you before. I wonder if you know any spiritual herbs that can lure this marten out? If you can lend it to me, I will repay you with gratitude after I capture the spiritual tail marten."

"The spiritual herbs that lure the spiritual tail marten..."

Ye Chunyang touched his chin, thinking about something.

Zhang Sanqi saw this and clenched his hands, looking nervous.

As for borrowing spiritual herbs, he really couldn't think of anyone else except Ye Chunyang.

Ye Chunyang's eyes were full of hesitation. After thinking for a while, he took out a white herb that looked like a strange human hand and smiled: "This is the five-finger grass, which is the favorite of spiritual martens. Senior brother might as well take it and try it."

Zhang Sanqi's face was happy.

After taking the five-finger grass, he said a few words of gratitude in a row, and only sent Ye Chunyang away when he was annoyed.

Looking at Zhang Sanqi's back as he walked out of the medicine field happily, Ye Chunyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It was just a young spirit-tailed marten, but he had plenty of spirit herbs, and Zhang Sanqi was familiar with him, so it was no big deal for him to help.

Shaking his head, Ye Chunyang chuckled and went to the medicine field to transplant the auxiliary herbs for refining the marrow cleansing pill.

But at this time, in a courtyard somewhere in the Huaxue Sect, there was a completely different scene.
