Ye Qingfeng said coldly, “Crippling your martial arts is merely a warning. If you are not convinced, tell Abbess Miejue to come and speak with me.”

Ding Minjun dared not say more; she was truly afraid that Ye Qingfeng would disregard everything and directly kill her.

Afterward, Ye Qingfeng no longer paid attention to her. Carrying Zhou Zhiruo, he activated the Ladder to the Clouds technique and flew straight up Tianzhu Peak.

Upon reaching the peak and landing, Zhou Zhiruo still had a somewhat shy expression, not daring to meet Ye Qingfeng’s gaze.

Seeing her quail-like demeanor, Ye Qingfeng couldn’t help but find it amusing and asked, “Zhiruo, what are you doing in the mountains?”

Zhou Zhiruo said, “Brother Qingfeng, you are incredibly intelligent. You must have guessed it long ago, so why ask when you already know?”

Ye Qingfeng sighed softly, “Alas, actually, I’ve long known your feelings, but I’m just afraid you’ll give your heart to the wrong person.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo’s beautiful eyes widened, and she said, “How could it be the wrong person? If you say I’m young and might misjudge someone, I have nothing to say, but how could a successor trained by Grandmaster Zhang be bad?” She paused slightly, then added, “Moreover, ever since Brother Qingfeng saved me that day, I’ve already made up my mind that I will marry no one but you in this life.”

Ye Qingfeng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled, “Oh, you little lovesick girl, how old were you when I saved you? You were only ten, right? A ten-year-old girl thinking of getting married, aren’t you ashamed?”

This teasing made Zhou Zhiruo’s face flush crimson, as if she had drunk too much.

Amidst her shyness, she added, “In short, I just don’t want to have any regrets in this life. Brother Qingfeng, do you know? After I knew you were avoiding me, I made up my mind to find you and ask for clarification, regardless of whether you have me in your heart or what difficulties you have, I just want an answer. Because I know that if I don’t clarify it now, I will definitely regret it in the future.”

Upon hearing these words again, Ye Qingfeng finally could no longer maintain the shackles he had placed upon himself.

The shackles he had placed upon himself were the fear of letting the young girl down after he left this world.

Now, the young girl had made her feelings clear. If he continued to hold back, it would truly be unmanly.

Having thought this through, he sighed deeply again, saying, “Alas, I’ve always prided myself on being free and unfettered, doing as I please. I never expected that when it came to love, I would be so hesitant. If I can’t even overcome this hurdle, what true cultivation am I pursuing, what Dao am I seeking?” He muttered to himself, then looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said, “Zhiruo, to have you in this life, you will not fail me, and I will not fail you.”

Hearing these words, Zhou Zhiruo first froze, then threw herself into Ye Qingfeng’s arms, feeling an indescribable joy.

Neither of them spoke again. Though silent, it was more profound than a thousand words, truly a case of silence being more eloquent than speech.

After a moment of tenderness, Ye Qingfeng spoke again, “Zhiruo, do you know why I’ve been avoiding you all this time?”

Zhou Zhiruo said, “I know you must have your reasons.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “That’s right. Recently, I’ve developed a celestial-human connection, foreseeing that I will soon leave this world. What kind of scene that will be, I have no way of knowing, so I dared not leave too many attachments.”

Zhou Zhiruo was startled upon hearing this, and with a worried expression, she asked, “Brother Qingfeng, do you have some terminal illness?”

Ye Qingfeng froze, then laughed and scolded, “Are you silly? With my cultivation, how could I get sick? I mean, it’s like becoming an immortal, ascending to heaven in broad daylight, leaving this realm.”

“Ah! Ascending to heaven in broad daylight?”

Zhou Zhiruo was surprised again and said, “Brother Qingfeng, are there really immortals in this world?”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Whether there are immortals in the world, I don’t know, but as my cultivation deepens, that inexplicable celestial-human connection also grows stronger. I even feel that my master seems to be leaving this world as well.”

Upon hearing this again, Zhou Zhiruo immediately fell silent, remaining so for a long time.

After a long while, she finally spoke, “Life is always short, and partings are easily heartbreaking. Do not refuse frequent banquets and singing. The vast mountains and rivers only evoke distant thoughts in vain, and falling flowers in wind and rain make spring even more sorrowful. It is better to cherish the person before you. Brother Qingfeng, I’ve thought it through. Whether you ascend to heaven in broad daylight or leave this world, I am willing to be with you and live well every day that follows.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Good, I promise you, we will live well every day that follows.”

From this moment on, Ye Qingfeng completely broke the shackles in his heart. With his thoughts clear, his mind was no longer obstructed.

In this way, the two of them spent their days enjoying the scenery of Mount Wudang, living a carefree and happy life.

As for Ding Minjun, the wicked woman, she also received her due retribution. Not only was her martial arts crippled, but she was also expelled from her sect.

Time flew by, and a month and a half passed quickly. The plan to rescue the Four Great Sects was finally put on the agenda. Ye Qingfeng and Zhou Zhiruo had to temporarily bid farewell to their beautiful two-person world and, along with forces from both sects, hurried to Dadu.

To avoid attracting attention, the forces from both sects split into six groups, secretly traveling in batches.

Because Ye Qingfeng’s martial arts were the highest, making him the main force of this plan, he and Zhou Zhiruo were in the first batch.

Half a month later, the two arrived in Dadu City.

This was Ye Qingfeng’s second time in Dadu; the last time was twenty years ago, when he was fifteen. This time in Dadu, the changes were considerable. Compared to twenty years ago, there was a sense of decay.

Upon entering Dadu City, the two found an inn and settled down.

By the time of Shen hour, three guests arrived.

As soon as they met, the three bowed to Ye Qingfeng.

“Disciple Zhou Yunquan, greets Martial Uncle.”

“Disciple Yao Shimen, greets Martial Uncle.”

“Disciple Shan Sinan, greets Martial Uncle.”

These three were all third-generation disciples of Wudang, and all were among the most outstanding of the third generation. For the rescue plan to proceed smoothly, Wudang had already sent elite disciples to secretly infiltrate Dadu beforehand, and these three were one of those groups.

Ye Qingfeng raised his hand in a gesture of support and said, “Rise, all of you. We are outside now, so there’s no need for these formalities.”

“Thank you, Martial Uncle.”

The three said their thanks in unison and then stood up.

Ye Qingfeng then asked, “You’ve been in Dadu for some time. Have you managed to gather any news about the Four Great Sects?”

Zhou Yunquan said, “Reporting to Martial Uncle, we have already found out the detention location of the Four Great Sects. It’s in Wan’an Temple, five li outside the city, guarded personally by Wang Baobao, the Crown Prince of Ruyang.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Good, truly worthy of being Wudang elites.” He then added, “You all quickly contact the other secret agents and tell them not to act rashly. Tonight, I will personally scout Wan’an Temple. We’ll make further plans after I return.”

“Yes, Martial Uncle.”

The three responded and then left to carry out their orders.

Time flew by, and soon it was night. Under the cover of dusk, Ye Qingfeng quietly snuck into Wan’an Temple.

At this time, in the Grand Hall of Wan’an Temple, a scene of “recruitment” was unfolding.

Zhao Min was seated in the central position at the head. Kuhoutuo, A-Da, A-Er, and A-San were arranged on both sides. A-San, whose bones and tendons had been broken by Yu Daiyan, had now fully recovered, showing just how effective the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment truly was.
