[The water nymph, Jiang Yue, stared at Ye Yu for a long time.]

[Finally, she remembered seeing a portrait in the matriarch’s room.]

[The person in the portrait looked exactly like the man before her.]

[But why would this person be here?]

[Because of Jiang Yue’s actions, the other water nymphs also gathered around. With cold expressions, they looked at Ye Yu.]

[They instinctively believed that this human cultivator must have harmed their kind before. Otherwise, why would Jiang Yue have lingered so long?]

[Ye Yu remained silent, but he was already fully prepared.]

[As soon as these mermaids showed any signs of aggression, he would definitely set up a formation to control them all here.]

[Yes, for Ye Yu, an Integration Realm cultivator was not impossible to kill!]

[It was just a bit more troublesome.]

[Ye Yu’s right hand, hidden behind his back, formed a seal. At this moment, the stars in the sky also shone brightly.]

[Everything was poised and ready.]

[In the end, Jiang Yue withdrew her gaze and said calmly: Let’s go.]

[Upon hearing this, the thirty or so water nymphs left in an orderly fashion. They leaped into the East Sea.]

[Everything returned to calm once more.]

[The corpse of Zhen Lang on the ground looked particularly conspicuous.]

[Some cultivators, after a moment of silence, began to slowly leave.]

[Seeing this, Ye Yu looked at Zhao Muchuan beside him, intending to leave with him.]

[But he noticed that Zhao Muchuan’s expression was filled with resentment.]

[He said, Is that female water nymph interested in you? Be honest!]

[When you two exchanged glances earlier, were you communicating with your thoughts?]

[Upon hearing this, Ye Yu was speechless.]

[Zhao Muchuan, Zhao Muchuan, is that all you can think about?]

[Just a glance and you’re smitten? What kind of logic is that!]

[Based on Ye Yu’s understanding of Zhao Muchuan, even if he didn’t admit it now, this guy wouldn’t believe it and would keep questioning.]

[So, to save trouble and to tease him, Ye Yu decisively responded: Yes, she is interested in me. And she arranged to meet tonight.]

[Zhao Muchuan’s face turned pale.]

[He said tremblingly: How could you do this? We came here together, and you’re eating alone?]

[No, you must introduce me to a water nymph companion too, or I… I’ll have it out with you!]

[Zhao Muchuan did not lower his voice. With these words, everyone who had not left turned their attention towards them.]

[Some even cast envious glances at Ye Yu.]

[Why should you be seen by the water nymphs? And have a meeting arranged for tonight?]

[Is your charm really that great?]

[Ye Yu felt incredibly awkward and directly pulled Zhao Muchuan away. This guy really says anything without restraint.]

[Even teasing doesn’t work. He actually takes it seriously!]

[How infuriating!]

[At the same time, beneath the sea, the water nymph Jiang Yue returned with her group.]

[After settling everything, she came alone to an area outside a reef.]

[She clasped her hands and said: Matriarch, the companion has been rescued. Moreover, I found a human who looks exactly like the one in your portrait.]

[After a moment, a figure swiftly emerged from the reef.]

[If Ye Yu had been there, he would have recognized her immediately.]

[This person was Su Yao, the senior sister he had been longing to find.]

[Now, Su Yao’s appearance was quite different from her image in the Lotus Sect. She had a fish tail with a hint of enchanting allure.]

[Su Yao approached Jiang Yue and hurriedly asked: Really, did you really see the person from my portrait?]

[After leaving the Lotus Sect, Su Yao had thought she could resolve the situation here quickly, but she did not expect it to be so difficult.]

[It took such a long time without a complete resolution.]

[With nothing else to do, Su Yao had drawn a portrait of Ye Yu.]

[She gazed at it day and night to ease her longing.]

[Jiang Yue had also seen the portrait, so she was certain that Ye Yu was indeed the person in the painting.]

[She informed Su Yao that he had been encountered on the Wuqing Island. He should not have gone far by now.]

[Su Yao’s expression grew very complex.]

[She then had Jiang Yue recount everything that had happened.]

[After listening, Su Yao’s expression remained complex.]

[Dismissing Jiang Yue, she returned alone to her reef dwelling.]

[Within a few breaths of time, a figure rapidly ascended from the seabed!]

[Several hours later, on the spirit boat above East Sea, Ye Yu looked at Zhao Muchuan with great helplessness.]

[He explained: How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? I was just teasing you earlier; that water nymph didn’t send me any secret messages at all.]

[And there was no meeting arranged. How many times do I need to tell you this before you believe it!]

[Zhao Muchuan laughed and said: No matter how many times you say it, I won’t believe it. I know, you’re trying to deliberately keep me away so you can meet the water nymph, right?]

[Don’t worry, I won’t delay you. When she arrives, I’ll only say a few words to her and then leave. I definitely won’t interfere with your good fortune.]

[Ye Yu’s patience snapped.]

[What is wrong with the world these days? Truth is disbelieved, while lies are taken as truth.]

[Is there no trust left between people?]

[Junior Brother!]

[A soft call suddenly made Ye Yu fully alert.]

[He turned around.]

[Under the moonlight, a familiar figure appeared.]

[It was his long-sought senior sister, Su Yao.]

[Ye Yu was extremely excited.]

[He immediately stepped forward, hastily asking: Senior Sister, where have you been all these years?]

[Before Su Yao could speak, Zhao Muchuan also approached.]

[Seeing that it was not the water nymph he had seen before, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.]

[So, this is the senior sister you’ve been looking for? What about the water nymph?]

[Hearing this, Ye Yu was furious and kicked Zhao Muchuan far away.]

[Get lost! There’s no water nymph, don’t disturb me while I catch up with my senior sister.]

[Zhao Muchuan pouted slightly. He turned and left.]

[As a veteran in romantic matters, Zhao Muchuan knew very well that when lovers reunite, they need private space. He was indeed out of place here.]

[After Zhao Muchuan left, Ye Yu gave an awkward smile.]

[He explained that Zhao Muchuan was just a friend, who meant well but always talked nonsense.]

[Su Yao gently asked: What about the water nymph? What was that all about?]

[Ye Yu waved his hand dismissively. It was just a misunderstanding. Senior Sister, I really missed you so much.]

[At this moment, Su Yao’s eyes instantly softened.]

[Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ye Yu already sitting cross-legged.]

[He began frantically pulling items out of his storage ring.]

[Various precious materials quickly covered the ground in front of them. Among them were also a dozen books on cultivation methods and many artifacts.]

[Su Yao couldn’t help but widen her eyes.]

[Junior Brother, did you rob a sect or something?]
