Chapter 382: Now You Know How To Panic, What Were You Doing Before
All the elders present knew about the tangled relationship between Yu Zhao and Master Qing Yan.

Back when their Sect Master had returned from the Endless Sea, he had dragged them over and scolded Master Qing Yan for a long time.

Everyone knew very well how Master Qing Yan treated Yu Zhao, which was why they had even thought about poaching her away.

But now, Master Qing Yan seemed like a completely different person. He kept calling her “Zhao’er,” and he treated Yu Zhao like a precious treasure, which really confused them.

Even more irritating, his cultivation level seemed to have improved along with this great awakening of his.

Before, when they faced Master Qing Yan, even if they did not have a sixty or seventy percent chance of winning, they at least had thirty or forty percent.

But now…

“Speak! Where is Yu Zhao!” he snapped.

“What are you shouting for!” Sword Sovereign Jiu Hua raised her brows, annoyance in her eyes, and said, “Now you know how to panic. What were you doing before!”

She could not beat Qing Yan in a fight, but that did not mean she had to swallow his bad temper.

Everyone’s expressions tightened, and they looked at Sword Sovereign Jiu Hua with admiration.

Master Qing Yan frowned slightly, and an invisible pressure spread out from his body.

But he quickly drew back his aura and said, “I was too impatient. I apologize to everyone.”

Sword Sovereign Jiu Hua, who had been ready for a big fight, was stunned.

The elders were also dumbfounded.

He could even endure this?

Was this really Qing Yan?

“I lost my head for a moment. Do any of you know where Zhao’er went?” he asked.

All the elders looked up at the sky together.

It was not like the sun had come up in the west.

Since when was Master Qing Yan so easy to talk to?

Since Master Qing Yan had lowered himself, no one could keep hiding it, so they told him that Yu Zhao had left together with Bu Yan.

When he learned that Yu Zhao had gone to Clarity Sound Temple, Master Qing Yan immediately wanted to chase after her.

But when he thought of how Yu Zhao might treat him now, he pulled his foot back again.

Not enough.

He had still not done enough.

Even though he had already destroyed countless devil cultivators’ lairs, he still had not caught the final mastermind or Ye Cong Xin.

How could he face Yu Zhao like this!

Whenever Master Qing Yan thought of what he had done to Yu Zhao in their past and present lives, he felt as if his organs were burning and his guts were being torn apart.

The elders watched as the man who had been full of anger just a moment ago suddenly sank into deep sorrow. For a time, they could not understand what was going on.

There had been rumors that Master Qing Yan might have some mental illness.

They had always thought it was just a rumor, but seeing him now, it did not seem completely baseless.

While Master Qing Yan was grieving in Chaozong Gorge, Yu Zhao and Bu Yan had already arrived at Clarity Sound Temple.

Because more and more cultivators were gathering around Chaozong Gorge, everyone at Clarity Sound Temple, from the elders to the newest young monks, had gone out to maintain order, leaving the inside of the temple almost empty.

Yu Zhao followed Bu Yan through the temple, and they did not see anyone else along the way.

She could not help feeling that the monks of Clarity Sound Temple were truly sincere. No wonder, after they found out Ye Cong Xin’s real identity, they would…

Yu Zhao paused in her steps. When she looked at the scene inside Clarity Sound Temple again, her mood changed.

“Yu Zhao? It really is you! Ah ah ah!”

In the distance, a figure wrapped head to toe in white bandages, with only a pair of eyes showing, raised both arms stiffly and waved hard at Yu Zhao.

Yu Zhao was speechless.

“Is that Long Fei Fei?” she asked.

Bu Yan nodded and said, “It is her.”

Yu Zhao pulled back her gaze, not knowing what to say. Long Fei Fei had already hopped and skipped to stand in front of her.

It really was “hopping and skipping.”

Both of Long Fei Fei’s legs were wrapped in bandages, so she could not take big steps. Hopping made her move a little faster.

As soon as she came over, she clamped onto Yu Zhao and cried, “Yu Zhao! Take me away! I do not want to stay here. All these baldies bully me!”

Yu Zhao first pushed down her two stick-like arms, then looked at Bu Yan to silently ask what had happened.

Bu Yan gave a dry laugh and said, “She had just woken up and started making a fuss about going to find you. Senior Brother saw that her injuries had not healed yet and gently refused, but she refused to give up and tried to sneak out. In the end she triggered one of the restriction wards in the temple, and now she is like this.”

“Nonsense! You were the ones who locked me up and would not let me go!” Long Fei Fei shouted, “Yu Zhao, look at them, they wrapped me up like a rice dumpling! They are bullying me!”

Long Fei Fei lifted her arms that were bound straight and complained in anger.

Bu Yan had at first wanted to cover for Long Fei Fei a little, but when he saw how she was twisting the story, he simply stopped hiding it and said, “Senior Brother Bu You did it for her own good, to keep her from moving around too much, but she would not listen. Even after she got hurt, she still did not behave. She even stole Senior Brother’s robe, shoes, and socks. Senior Brother had no choice but to do this.”

Yu Zhao was speechless.

Long Fei Fei’s eyes started to dodge, but her mouth was still stubborn as she said, “I did not mean it. I only wanted to tease him a little. Besides, he was the one who would not let me leave first.”

When Yu Zhao heard this, she reached out and poked Long Fei Fei on the shoulder.

She had only used thirty percent of her strength, but Long Fei Fei almost burst into tears from the pain.

“Yu Zhao! You are bullying me too! I was even worried about you and kept wanting to visit you!” Long Fei Fei cried.

Yu Zhao kept a straight face and said, “If you really care about me, then rest and heal, and stop causing trouble.”

When the Sect Master of the Heavenfire Divine Sect made his move, he had never planned on sparing Long Fei Fei. With the huge gap in strength between them, Long Fei Fei had already placed one foot into Ghost Gate Pass at that time.

It would take at least four or five years for her to fully recover.

But she had barely woken up before she started making a fuss about going to find Yu Zhao. Of course Bu You would not agree.

They could not stop Long Fei Fei from courting death. She dragged her heavily injured body and accidentally triggered a restriction ward again. Fortunately, the restriction wards inside Clarity Sound Temple were mainly for trapping, so she managed to keep her life.

She looked like she could walk freely now, but her condition inside was a complete mess.

Continuing to rest and heal at Clarity Sound Temple’s Calm Heart was the best choice for her.

It was not as if Long Fei Fei did not understand this. She just could not feel at ease when she could not see Yu Zhao.

Even though Bu Yan and Bu You both said Yu Zhao was safe, she kept worrying that the two of them were lying to her.

There was no rule in the Cultivation World that said monks could not lie.

Besides, she naturally disliked being restricted and loved to make noise and run around. She was not used to staying in Clarity Sound Temple all the time.

Now that she had seen Yu Zhao with her own eyes, she finally believed that Bu Yan and Bu You had not lied. She answered sullenly, “Got it.”

Right after she spoke, her spirits perked up again as she asked, “Where is Bu You? Why is he not here?”

“A few Senior Brothers from the Outer Sect came to visit. Senior Brother Bu You went to receive them,” Bu Yan replied.

When Bu Yan spoke, he glanced at Yu Zhao, half on purpose, half not.

Yu Zhao understood in her heart.

It seemed these Senior Brothers had something to do with her.

As for who they were, it was not hard to guess.

“Senior Brothers from the Outer Sect? Who are they? Which sect are they from? I am going to take a look!” Long Fei Fei said.

Long Fei Fei really could not stay still for even a moment.

As soon as she heard there was excitement to watch, her eyes lit up.

Yu Zhao frowned.

“Your injuries have not healed yet. It is better for you to rest quietly,” she said.

If the visitors were really the group she was thinking of, she did not want Long Fei Fei to meet them.

Long Fei Fei’s eyes turned, and she said very obediently, “Alright, I will listen to you. I will not go.”

Yu Zhao let out a helpless sigh.

It had backfired.

From the look on Long Fei Fei’s face, she was definitely going to go.

[Forget it. After living a second life, she had learned that some things would not stop happening just because she tried to block them alone.]

[With her here, Long Fei Fei should be able to avoid the Death Tribulation from the last life. As for her love tribulation, that would depend on her own choices.]

Yu Zhao reminded her a few more times, then went with Bu Yan to pay respect to Abbot Jie Tan.

After waiting for the two of them to disappear from sight, Long Fei Fei turned around and hopped toward the reception room of Clarity Sound Temple.

She just had to see who Yu Zhao did not want her to meet.
