The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chapter 187 Shen Huaichuan's Sneaky Act

Xuanzhu closed his eyes, seemingly not hearing Yun Yici's words, and muttered, "Forgive me, forgive me, the woman I dreamed of was actually Fellow Daoist Yun."

As Yun Yici watched the little monk close his eyes and start striking the wooden fish again, he cursed the system a thousand times in his heart.

"How did you summon Xuanzhu? You didn't just kidnap someone into my dream without their consent, did you?"

Yun Yici thought to herself that Shen Huaichuan was an accident. If the system continued like this, she would never sleep again. She would rather not sleep or study than force others to learn against their will.

The system was also completely baffled; it couldn't possibly bring a Buddhist monk with it, no matter how crazy it was.

What can Xuanzhu teach? He can't possibly teach Yun Yici to become a Buddhist monk.

The system said, "Let me check if there's a mistake... Logically speaking, even if it's not Shen Huaichuan, it should be some powerful sword cultivator."

Yun Yici said to the system, "Wait, wake me up first. Xuanzhu seems to have misunderstood."

The system said, "Okay, wait... no, I can't forcibly wake you up."

Yun Yici: "What happened?"

The system said, "The problem likely lies with Xuanzhu. Is he practicing some strange cultivation technique that resonates with your dream...?"

"Shen Huaichuan didn't enter the dream because he left Xuanling Prison, the conditions changed, and he said that the day you completed your studies would be the day he was free."

"It's probably because your words were deemed to have met the conditions. But it's okay if you don't see Shen Huaichuan in your dream. He's right beside you. You can ask him anything you want to know."

After hearing this, Yun Yici couldn't tell whether she was happy or disappointed for Shen Huaichuan.

All good things must come to an end; she should be happy for Shen Huaichuan.

Yun Yici quickly composed herself and sat cross-legged on the futon next to the black candle.

She was facing Xuanzhu, who was chanting scriptures and striking a wooden fish with his eyes closed.

Yun Yici said embarrassedly, "Buddha Xuanzhu, do you have any dream-entering techniques? I feel like I can't wake up."

Xuanzhu's tightly closed eyelids twitched slightly. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "The illusions in my dreams have even learned to bewitch people."

He picked up the wooden fish that was on the ground with one hand and held it in front of Yun Yici, then struck it down with the wooden mallet in his other hand, making a crisp sound.

Yun Yici: "?"

Seeing that this illusion was different from the previous ones, and that the Buddhist chants could not make it disappear, Xuanzhu began to chant Buddhist scriptures in a low voice while striking the wooden fish in front of Yun Yici.

Yun Yici reached out and grabbed Xuanzhu's wooden mallet, saying, "I'm not..."

phantom......

Yun Yici was speaking when she suddenly heard a loud bang. Her heart skipped a beat, and the sense of impending danger jolted her awake from her dream.

She opened her eyes, drew her sword, and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw that the neat seashell door that had been blocking her doorway was now shattered on the floor.

Outside the door, Mu Yunjian, covered in wounds, pointed his sword at Shen Huaichuan: "Who are you?"

Yun Yici was startled and hurriedly jumped out of bed without even putting on her shoes, shouting, "Senior brother, don't hurt him! He's here to see me!"

The noise from when Mu Yunjian accidentally broke Yun Yici's door was quite loud, and even Rong Xuan, Ning Tinglan, and Wannian were awakened and all ran out.

Mu Yunjian said urgently, "Junior sister, you don't know, as soon as I came back, I saw him lurking around your door."

"He clearly has ill intentions towards you. Why would he go to a woman's boudoir looking for someone in the middle of the night?"

During the twilight, Bai Ri avoided Wen Fuyue and Yun Yici and went to challenge the chieftain of the Water Tribe on his own.

Ling Wan was too busy to get away for the time being, so he went to find Xiang Zhan, and returned at night covered in injuries.

Before he even got back to his room, he saw this unfamiliar man lurking suspiciously outside Yun Yici's room, doing something he didn't know.

Shen Huaichuan, who was caught red-handed for "sneaking around," explained, "That's not the case. I was just about to knock on the door. I had no ill intentions towards her and would not have barged into her room without permission."

Mu Yunjian sneered, "Then how did you sneak in? What are you up to?"

Ning Tinglan interrupted Mu Yunjian: "I think he looks somewhat like the sword spirit of Huaichuan. Could it be that Huaichuan has undergone some changes?"

Previously in Kunlun, Yun Yici had made the Huaichuan Sword Spirit take human form, and they had all seen what the Huaichuan Sword Spirit looked like.

But no matter how wildly imaginative Ning Tinglan was, she never imagined that the person in front of her was Shen Huaichuan himself.

Rong Xuan said, "No, he is not a sword spirit."

Rong Xuan was extremely sensitive to magical artifacts and could tell at a glance that Shen Huaichuan was a mortal and definitely not a sword spirit.

Yun Yici knew that Shen Huaichuan must have noticed something was wrong with her at night and came to check on her because he was worried about her. He didn't expect to run into Mu Yunjian who was returning.

Yun Yici said, "Actually, his name is Shen Xiu. He is an old friend of Master's. Master originally planned to introduce him to you tomorrow."

“He came to see me at night because… Master moved to the Imperial Court next door, and I’m the only one who knows him well. I suppose there’s something inconvenient about it.”

"By the way, Senior Brother Mu, what happened to you? Who hurt you?"

Yun Yici's words drew Ning Tinglan and the others' attention to Mu Yunjian.

Mu Yunjian turned his head away and said, "It's nothing, I just had a fight with Xiang Zhan."

Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan initially thought that Mu Yunjian had fought with thugs in the middle of the night and was injured like this, so they were both very wary of Shen Huaichuan.

I never expected the reason to be like this.

Mu Yunjian sheathed his sword, looking suspicious, and said, "It's too late tonight, it's not good to disturb Master's rest."

"But this man is very strange, and I don't believe in his origins."

"You all go and rest, I'll stay here and keep watch."

Mu Yunjian's last words were practically spoken while staring directly at Shen Huaichuan.

After he finished speaking, he sat down on the floor next to Yun Yici's door, holding his sword, clearly indicating that he would be the doorman tonight.

Yun Yici was both amused and exasperated. She said, "I'll take Shen Xiu back first. If you're worried, you can come in and sleep."

“I have a soft couch. Since the door is gone now, it won’t matter if we each sleep on the bed and the other on the soft couch.”

Upon hearing that Yun Yici was going to take Shen Huaichuan back to his room, Mu Yunjian quickly jumped up from the ground and said, "I'll take him."

Rong Xuan could tell that Shen Huaichuan was blind, and knew that Mu Yunjian's bad nature was hard to change, so he was afraid that he would secretly bully the other party when they couldn't see him.

So he said, "Junior sister, go ahead, I'll apply the medicine for Junior Brother Mu."

Ning Tinglan obeyed and, together with Rong Xuan, pinned Mu Yunjian in the middle.

Wan Nian stood by helplessly, not daring to make a move against Mu Yunjian, and watched Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan's actions with bated breath.

It was only a few steps, and the corridor stretched out to the end at a glance. There was no need for several people to escort Shen Huaichuan back to his room.

Yun Yici thanked Rong Xuan, then pulled Shen Huaichuan's sleeve and walked a distance with him before whispering, "I'm sorry for offending you. Please don't hold it against my senior brother."

"He didn't mean to make things difficult for you; it's all a misunderstanding."

Shen Huaichuan said, "I'm fine. How are you?"

Yun Yici knew he was asking about the thing she saw in her dream, but she couldn't explain it in detail in a short time.

She could only reply, "I'm fine too."
