Li Muzhan swayed slightly, and Wang Shuangfeng quickly reached out as if to steady him, but Li Muzhan regained his balance, let out a long breath, and broke into a smile: "Senior Sister, you finally arrived!"

A sense of relief washed over him. The journey had been fraught with danger at every turn; without his intuition guiding him to evade traps, he would never have made it this far—he’d likely have been consumed long ago.

Exhausting his strength to reach this point, he felt as though he carried a mountain on his back. Although Li Yujiao was skilled in martial arts, her execution was immature when action was required, leaving her unable to assist; he had to bear everything alone.

Now that Wen Yinyue was here, it felt as if a thousand-year burden had been lifted.

．．．．．．．．．．．”，．．……．”，．．……．”，．．．……．．．……．．”．……．

Wen Yinyue flashed forward, arriving before Li Muzhan amid a faint, delicate fragrance. Her left palm extended from her sleeve, touched his palm, and then immediately retracted. The painted brows on her veil furrowed slightly: "Who injured you?"

Li Muzhan shook his head: "It was caused by the Great Bright King Sutra."

Wen Yinyue’s brow tightened: "Why did you use the Great Bright King Sutra again?!"

Li Muzhan managed a wry smile: "If I could avoid it, do you think I would invite such suffering? If you had arrived just one day sooner, Senior Sister, I wouldn't have sustained this injury!"

Wen Yinyue placed her left hand on his shoulder and said lightly, "I was delayed by intervening in some trivial matters halfway here... Let's go inside, I will perform the healing arts on you!"

Li Muzhan chuckled: "No rush. This is Li Yujiao from Shengxue Peak, Junior Sister, and this is Wang Shuangfeng from the Wang family—Miss Feng'er. Senior Sister, if it weren't for Junior Sister Li and Feng'er, you would only be here to collect my remains today!"

Wen Yinyue cupped her hands in a brief, reserved bow: "Thank you!"

Li Yujiao appraised her, her gaze sharp as lightning, and said coolly, "Fairy Leng Lian, I have long admired your reputation!"

Wen Yinyue’s bright eyes glanced over her: "Li Yujiao of Shengxue Peak, I too have heard much about you."

"Martial Aunt Wen, it is I who has caused trouble for Martial Uncle," Wang Shuangfeng said with shame.

Wen Yinyue replied indifferently: "No need for courtesies. If he did not wish to act, no one could force him; if he wishes to act, no one can deter him."

Li Yujiao raised a delicate brow and inquired, "Junior Brother Li's injury requires the Yin Yang Creation Art to heal. Can you, Miss Wen, perform the Yin Yang Creation Art?"

Wen Yinyue nodded lightly and turned: "Junior Brother, why are you lingering? Hurry inside!"

Li Muzhan smiled: "How is Master?"

Wen Yinyue nodded faintly: "Mmm, same as always. Nothing much has changed on Canghai Mountain."

Her brow had been tightly knotted earlier, suggesting impatience, but seeing Li Muzhan calm and unhurried, she knew he acted with caution. She slowly calmed her restless heart, and her brow unfurled.

She stated plainly: "Junior Sister Mei and Junior Sister Gong are both well. Their martial arts progress quickly and have earned Master's praise. Little Yuan is not bad either—promising."

Li Muzhan immediately broke into a smile.

Li Yujiao and Wang Shuangfeng glanced at Li Muzhan. Seeing his face alight with joy and his continuous laughter, they felt a twist of discomfort and shot him a fierce glare.

Though there was no romantic love involved, having weathered storms together, seeing him display such concern for another woman upon meeting her made them feel as though something precious had been shared, causing a subtle unease.

．”…………．……，．．”．……．．，……，．．．…………”．．．．．

"Did Master say anything about me?" Li Muzhan asked with a smile.

Wen Yinyue said lightly: "Master called you incompetent, saying that after you went down the mountain for an errand, you still needed my help. Upon returning to the mountain, she will surely lecture you thoroughly!"

Li Muzhan laughed heartily: "Master holds me in too high regard! Senior Sister, you must be exhausted from your journey. Rest for half a day first, and we can discuss other matters later!"

"Mmm, alright then," Wen Yinyue replied calmly.

Li Yujiao quickly urged, "Senior Brother, it is best to treat your injuries sooner!"

Li Muzhan shook his head and smiled: "No hurry, no hurry. Junior Sister, once Senior Sister has rested, how about you two spar for a while?"

"Excellent idea!" Li Yujiao immediately agreed.

Wen Yinyue glanced at Li Yujiao and nodded slightly: "Mmm, that is acceptable."

Li Yujiao secretly gritted her teeth, though her expression remained placid: "I hope Fairy Leng Lian will grant me some guidance!"

She found Wen Yinyue excessively arrogant and aloof, completely unlike Martial Brother Zhanran. How could they be from the same Canghai Mountain yet differ so greatly!?

Li Muzhan, possessing the ability to read minds, saw through the thoughts of both women with clarity and found it amusing. He laughed: "Very well then, Senior Sister, let's go to my room."

Wen Yinyue showed no reserve and walked directly into Li Muzhan's quarters. The two younger women could only follow her out, leaving the pair inside. They began practicing outside, listening with one ear trained inside.

Seeing them depart, Wen Yinyue sat cross-legged on the couch, removed her veil, revealing her alluring, sensual face, and said calmly, "Junior Brother, if you are not rushing your healing, is there something else on your mind?"

Li Muzhan nodded: "This injury of mine is best treated slowly. With danger lurking everywhere, Senior Sister should conserve her energy to deal with those people."

Wen Yinyue frowned slightly: "These injuries are quite troublesome. If they are delayed further, they will be difficult to heal."

Li Muzhan smiled faintly: "It's fine. I have the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art protecting me; my body is stronger than ordinary people's. It will mend slowly."

Wen Yinyue shook her head: "The Vajra Indestructible Art is excellent, but not omnipotent... Let's do this: take the Creation Pill first and see the effect."

Li Muzhan nodded: "That is excellent!"

Wen Yinyue took
