"Okay!" Li Mo didn't understand why she would choose to go through the window when there was a door, but she was sure her boyfriend was right to do it.
When Yin Xiu smashed through the super-reinforced window with a long sword and broke in with Li Mo, everyone in the room who was playing cards was stunned.
They glanced at the two men who had suddenly arrived, then at the broken planks on the ground.
To prevent the residents of Changsheng City from going crazy and looting, Ye Shen had instructed them in advance to reinforce the doors and windows. They worked diligently to do so, nailing layer upon layer of wooden planks. With the defenses in place, all they had to do was guard the main gate. They never expected that someone would break in through a window.
Everyone looked at the window and then at the man, then put down the weapons they had instinctively picked up. "You... no, what do you need? I'll go get it for you right away."
Ye Shen had also instructed that if someone were to break in through a window all by themselves, they must be a formidable character. Although it was unlikely that such a person would appear in Changsheng City, if such a person suddenly appeared, one should not confront them directly. Instead, one should be polite and courteous, and inquire about their needs.
Yin Xiu slowly sheathed his knife and calmly said, "I don't want anything. I'm looking for your new god."
"Looking for Master Ye? Okay, okay." The other person nodded hurriedly, then turned around and called out, "Someone came looking for Master Ye at ten o'clock this morning! They entered the house through a broken window! They brought a companion. Please register them, and I'll take them to Master Ye right away!"
"Okay!" the person inside responded, and everyone sat back down. Those who wanted to play cards played cards, and those who wanted to repair the windows went to find tools. They didn't feel any extra shock or hostility towards Yin Xiu, this unexpected visitor, and just went about their business.
Looking at the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere inside the house, Yin Xiu felt somewhat uncomfortable. "Don't you guys take any precautions against outsiders?"
"Sigh, what's the point of defense? Ye Shen instructed us that life is the most important thing, and even if we defend, we can't win, so it's better not to defend at all." As he spoke, the other person gestured towards one of the staircases, "Come on, this way please. Ye Shen is on the top floor competing in archery with someone. I'll take you to see Ye Shen."
Yin Xiu nodded silently and pulled Li Mo up the stairs.
The leisurely and pleasant atmosphere inside this defensive fortress was completely different from the tense and desolate atmosphere of the city of immortality outside. Compared to those who lived in constant anxiety and waited for the high priest's orders, the people in this house were very comfortable and relaxed, as if it were another world independent of immortality.
Following the leader up the stairs, Yin Xiu arrived at the fifth floor of the tall building, where he met Ye Tianxuan, who was competing in archery with a group of people on the top-floor platform.
He stood tall on the edge of the rooftop, his forearm taut, aiming his bow outwards, muttering, "This time I'll definitely hit the window of the high priest's house."
A crowd cheered, "Go Ye Shen! The High Priest's floor is so high, it's amazing you even managed to get one point up!"
"Yeah, yeah! Ye Shen is amazing! He's way better than us!"
"Ye Shen! Someone is looking for you!" The leader waved his hand and called out "Ye Shen" twice from outside the crowd, but there were too many people gathered here and the voice was loud enough to drown out the call.
The man turned his head innocently and spread his hands, "God Ye is busy with important matters, why don't you wait here for a while?"
Yin Xiu glanced at the person who was aiming intently. "Is this a big deal?"
"Of course!" The guide nodded without hesitation. "Ye Shen is leading our vanguard to harass the enemy! The High Priest hasn't slept well for two days!"
Yin Xiu: ...
This person is really wicked.
Yin Xiu looked up at the densely packed crowd and Ye Tianxuan's figure standing on the edge of the rooftop. He noticed that Ye Tianxuan had no protection around him and was just standing there drawing his bow and aiming. Yin Xiu fell silent.
Then Yin Xiu turned to Li Mo, pointed at Ye Tianxuan, and said, "Go kick him down, then pull him up and teach him a lesson, but be careful not to hurt him."
Li Mo smiled and nodded, not understanding, but her boyfriend must be right.
He turned and strode quickly across the crowded area, rushing towards Ye Tianxuan. Amidst the panicked shouts of the crowd, he kicked Ye Tianxuan violently off the edge of the rooftop, then swiftly pulled him back up with his invisible tentacles.
The people around were startled by the sudden commotion. Ye Tianxuan was also stunned. Suddenly, someone kicked him in the waist, and he fell off the rooftop. Then, the world spun around, and Yin Xiu's gloomy face was right in front of him.
"This...this is Yin Shashen! When did you arrive?" Ye Tianxuan was stunned for a moment, clutching the bow in his hand. "I didn't expect to see you in the King of Hell's Palace."
"If you're not careful next time, you'll really be heading to the underworld." Yin Xiu raised his hand, signaling Li Mo to release Ye Tianxuan.
"Oh, so I didn't fall." Ye Tianxuan calmly patted his clothes after noticing the situation. "I was wondering why an enemy would suddenly kick me."
Then he said with a smile, "Yin Shashen's way of reminding me to be careful is really extreme! You're something else!"
"I wasn't worried about you." Yin Xiu turned his gaze and noticed the people gathered around him. "You're still the same as always, you can always find a bunch of people to protect you no matter where you go."
These people had developed hostility towards Yin Xiu and Li Mo because of Ye Tianxuan's brief moment of danger. They were all on edge, but seeing that Ye Tianxuan was unharmed and chatting with Yin Xiu, they didn't move for the time being.
"You don't understand, this is called personal charisma." Ye Tianxuan smiled and turned to wave at the group. "Don't be nervous, this is my friend, he was just joking with me."
Those people were confused and stunned. Was Ye Shen's friend joking in such a provocative way?
"I'm going to chat with my friends for a while. You guys continue practicing your archery! There's a reward for whoever hits the high priest's glass window." Ye Tianxuan smiled and told them to continue playing, then turned to talk to Yin Xiu alone.
After receiving Ye Tianxuan's instructions, the group stopped paying attention to this side and began practicing drawing their bows with great enthusiasm. Although they were separated by a street, it did not stop them from trying their best to harass the high priest. Even if they could not harass the high priest, they could still make a fuss about those arrogant divine messengers.
"Is this how you act like a god here?" Yin Xiu glanced at the people and followed Ye Tianxuan to another room.
"Even gods need to relax and have some fun, let alone me, a human. Everyone's been stuck in this room for six days, we need to find them something to do, otherwise they'll all be bored." Ye Tianxuan found a relatively quiet room where no one would disturb them and let Yin Xiu and Li Mo into the room. He then noticed that only the two of them had come.
"Where's Zhong Mu? Since you brought Li Mo along, shouldn't Zhong Mu have brought him too?"
"I didn't send anything." Yin Xiu sat down in the chair calmly. "Zhong Mu went to the City of Destiny."
"Oh…City of Destiny." Ye Tianxuan nodded thoughtfully. "That kid is really capable, daring to go to City of Destiny alone. He's improved."
Yin Xiu leaned back in his chair, raising his chin. "What about you? What kind of trouble is Ye Shen planning in Changsheng City? It's been so long and it's still not over."
"That's a long story." Ye Tianxuan walked up to Yin Xiu with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "But you've come at the right time. I need someone to help me out, and this is perfect for you two."
"You need my help again?"
"No, this time you have to bring your boyfriend along too."
Yin Xiu: ?
Young couples need to use it all, right?
