Chapter 5240: AvoidEditor: Misty Cloud Translations

"Alright." Yue’er accepted it with a smile and tucked the token away.

Shen Shiqi glanced around in confusion, feeling as though someone was watching them from the shadows. But when he looked around, besides their group and the Azure Emperor, he saw no one else and detected no other presence.

Was it just his imagination?

After chatting with her for a while, they rose to take their leave. "We still need to return to the main house. Seeing you in such good spirits now puts our minds at ease. Next time we have the chance, we’ll come visit you again. Or perhaps you could come visit us at the main house instead. When you do, we’ll definitely show you around properly."

Hearing this, Yue’er beamed and nodded. "Alright! Once I’m feeling better, I’ll come find you all to play."

Hearing her words, the group exchanged smiles. This little girl was still just a child—not worried about her health, but already thinking about fun.

So they laughed in response, "Great! We’ll be waiting for you."

After bidding farewell to Yun Qi, they went to the Azure Emperor, bowed to him in farewell, and then began their descent down the mountain.

"Let me walk you down," Yue’er called out, wanting to accompany them all the way down the mountain.

"No need to see us off. We’re just a few steps down. You’re still recovering; get some rest." " Signaling she needn’t accompany them further, the group gathered their energy and sped down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Shen Shiqi turned to look at Yunxiao Mountain, shrouded in mist and clouds. He said to his friends, "I can’t shake the feeling that someone was watching us from the shadows back there."

"You felt it too?" Chen Tao looked at Shen Shiqi in surprise, then mused, "Seems it wasn’t just my imagination! But who could it be?"

"Could it be one of the Azure Emperor’s friends?" Zheng Yuan suggested.

"Perhaps it was the Azure Emperor’s friend. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have sensed their presence," Yang Hao added.

"Let’s go! Regardless, we saw that little girl today. She seemed to be in good spirits," Shen Shiqi said, chatting with them as they walked.

"It’s just a pity," Zheng Yuan sighed softly, his voice heavy with regret. "Even if she recovers her health, she’ll never be able to cultivate again."

As the group walked further away, their voices gradually faded...

Up on the mountain, Feng Jiu was examining the gifts Shen Shiqi and the others had brought for Yue’er. "These friends of yours are quite decent," she remarked. "Worth keeping. These presents show they put real thought into them."

Yue’er smiled brightly. "They really are wonderful. The only thing that happened on this trip down the mountain was meeting them. Actually, I knew them when I was very young, though I used to tease them back then."

As the group chatted on the mountain, about half an hour passed before the voice of Great Emperor Xiao Tian echoed through the air.

"Azure Emperor, I have brought Junyan to visit Yun Qi. Might we be granted an audience?"

Hearing the voice, the Azure Emperor glanced at Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu.

"You two go ahead. We’ll head back to rest," Feng Jiu said, making no attempt to stay. After all, with the power of the Great Emperor Xiao Tian, he might sense their presence, so it was best to avoid him altogether.

Only after watching them depart did the Azure Emperor open the mountain gates, allowing them to ascend.

Truth be told, since his most cherished disciple had suffered severe injuries because of Xiao Junyan, he harbored little fondness for the Xiao family. Yet he understood that Yun Qi likely wished to see Xiao Junyan at this moment.
