Depth of Field Appears

“Creak...”

The room door was gently opened, and a maidservant walked in from the doorway, holding some tea and pastries.

Zhao Yuwei stared blankly at the tea on the table, seemingly hesitating whether to use this time to leave.

However, Bai Zhao’s actions just now had already moved her; there weren't many people in the world who could go that far for him.

As the maidservant put down the things in her hand, Zhao Yuwei actually found something extremely familiar inside.

She quickly picked up the sugar figurine from the plate, and the Lingjian Sect immediately came to mind: “This... who gave this?”

The maidservant stood obediently to the side, her eyes filled with deep mockery.

Zhao Yuwei was not a weak woman; she could tell at a glance that the maidservant in front of her was not right.

Her eyes narrowed slightly: “Who exactly are you?”

Jing Shen tore off the human skin mask on his face and sneered: “See who I am?”

Raising her eyes to look at Jing Shen’s familiar face, Zhao Yuwei’s hair stood on end: “Jing Shen?”

This should be the first time she had encountered someone from the Lingjian Sect since coming to the Upper Realm, and she walked up to him excitedly.

However, Jing Shen didn’t dare to be disrespectful to her at all, forcefully shaking off her hand and sneering.

“Since you are already married, why didn’t you inform us, the Lingjian Sect?”

As a Disciple of the Lingjian Sect, she didn’t even say a word about such a big event as getting married.

Seeing that Jing Shen had a very deep misunderstanding of her, Zhao Yuwei pointed to the seat beside her: “You sit down first, and I will tell you in detail.”

Jing Shen looked at the seat beside him and waved his hand forcefully: “You don’t need to tell me, do you know that Xiao Feng came to the Upper Realm for you?”

When she learned that Xiao Feng was also in the Upper Realm, her eyes were filled with intense ecstasy.

All along, she had thought that the Lingjian Sect had been destroyed.

And the appearance of Jing Shen made her heart, which had died, become active again.

“I once asked many people to go to the Lower Realm to search for the Lingjian Sect, but they didn’t bring me any news.”

The implication was that she thought the Lingjian Sect had been destroyed, and she had to stay in the Upper Realm to improve her strength.

When Jing Shen learned about this, he finally understood why Zhao Yuwei wanted to stay in the Upper Realm.

He slowly got up and pointed his chin at the sugar figurine in front of him: “The Lingjian Sect was saved by our concerted efforts, and many Disciples are recovering their strength.”

Only when Zhao Yuwei learned that the Lingjian Sect was completely fine did her restless heart finally completely calm down.

Driven by curiosity, Jing Shen gradually extended the Spirit Energy in his body, letting it fall upon Zhao Yuwei.

Zhao Yuwei could feel Jing Shen's probing and did not stop him, letting him probe her strength.

“You’ve been in the Upper Realm for so long, and your strength has indeed improved.”

Zhao Yuwei saw that Jing Shen was still concerned about her; this was the familiar feeling from within the sect.

“What’s going on with that kid?”

Jing Shen turned his eyes to the main door, his intention extremely clear, which was to ask about Bai Zhao.

Upon hearing Jing Shen ask about Bai Zhao, Zhao Yuwei smiled bitterly and recounted everything she had experienced in the Hall of Supreme Bliss.

She mistakenly thought that the two of them had never heard of the Hall of Supreme Bliss, and even wanted to explain the situation of the Hall of Supreme Bliss one by one.

Little did she know, Jing Shen's understanding was only deeper than hers.

He had stayed in the Hall of Supreme Bliss for a full few months, pretending to be Ru Xing.

If Su Mu hadn’t sent people to disband the Hall of Supreme Bliss, he believed he would still be lurking in the Hall of Supreme Bliss.

“What? Xiao Feng is also in the Hall of Supreme Bliss?”

She knew very well how terrifying the Hall of Supreme Bliss was; if one’s strength was insufficient, it was very likely that they would be oppressed to death by those people.

Jing Shen looked at Zhao Yuwei’s face full of concern for Xiao Feng and sneered: “You are already someone else’s fiancée, why are you worried about Xiao Feng?”

He could see that Jing Shen was already quite angry.

“As far as I know, he was taken away by the Holy Maiden, and his whereabouts are unknown.”

Even he was unable to find Xiao Feng’s current location, which made Zhao Yuwei’s heart turn cold.

She was perhaps the one who knew best how ruthless the Holy Maiden was.

Just a small misunderstanding, and the Alchemist of the Hall of Supreme Bliss died unjustly at her hands.

After a moment of silence, Jing Shen snorted coldly: “Bai Zhao saving you was just a matter of convenience; you don’t owe him anything.”

If it weren’t for the two of them creating an opportunity, Bai Zhao and Zhao Yuwei would not have been able to leave during the chaos.

Seeing Jing Shen’s dismissive look, Zhao Yuwei finally felt the care from the Lingjian Sect.

She had thought that she would never be able to see these familiar people again, but she did not expect to see Jing Shen.

Moreover, both of them were in the Upper Realm, and this trip was specifically for him.

Looking up at the ‘ 囍’ character on the window, she took a deep breath: “There are two paths before you.”

Zhao Yuwei listened quietly to Jing Shen’s words, wanting to see what Jing Shen had to say.

“The first path is to leave here with me and return to the Lingjian Sect.”

This was something Zhao Yuwei had been dreaming of; otherwise, how could she have endured such torment.

Seeing that Zhao Yuwei did not respond, Jing Shen’s expression became extremely grim: “The second path is to be expelled from the sect. You will continue to stay in the Upper Realm, and I will continue to look for him.”

At present, Xiao Feng had disappeared, and he had to find the person before he could leave.

When she heard that Jing Shen wanted to expel her from the sect, her face was filled with panic, and she waved her hands repeatedly: “You can’t expel me from the sect, I... I am willing to leave with you.”

Jing Shen watched as Zhao Yuwei’s eyes gradually became firm, and he burst into laughter: “With these words from you, our Lingjian Sect did not misjudge you.”

Just as he was about to open the door, he was stopped by her.

She should be the one who knew best how many powerful individuals there were in the Liuhuo Mountain Manor.

Her brows furrowed slightly: “If we just leave like this, the powerful individuals in the Manor will definitely intercept us and prevent us from leaving.”

“Do you have any good plan?”

At present, almost everyone in the Liuhuo Mountain Manor had come for her and Bai Zhao’s wedding.

If she appeared elsewhere at such a time, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among others.

Zhao Yuwei walked to the side, pondered carefully for a moment, and then looked at Jing Shen again: “You can disguise yourself as a maidservant, so I believe you should also be able to disguise me.”

“Of course.”

Upon hearing that Jing Shen possessed such exquisite disguise skills, she immediately had an idea.

“You can disguise me as an insignificant small figure in the Manor, and the two of us can leave here.”

Jing Shen looked at Zhao Yuwei’s serious expression, understood that she wasn’t making fun of him, and agreed: “Then it shall be as you say.”

He looked at the clothes in the room, took out a set of maidservant clothes from inside, and threw them in front of Zhao Yuwei.

“Put on this set of clothes, and I will choose an insignificant small role for you.”

Jing Shen and Zhao Yuwei had no relationship, so he couldn’t stay in the room to watch her change clothes. He could only put on the human skin mask and return to the doorway.

To outsiders, they would only think that she was Zhao Yuwei’s personal maidservant and would not think that this was the person who came to take Zhao Yuwei away.
