I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 368 Reunion at the Entrance of the Secret Realm

Yun Qingyi glanced at everyone present, and when her cold expression fell upon a certain person not far away who was the leader of all the immortals and seemed otherworldly, her eyes welled up with tears.

But he quickly composed himself, his steps steady, and together with Ji Zhaozhe and the others, led the Xuanmiao Sect disciples forward.

"Disciple Qingyi."

"Disciple Zhaoze."

"I've met Master."

The other Xuanmiao Sect disciples also bowed their heads and paid their respects.

Ci Gui simply raised his hand slightly, signaling the disciples to retreat to their positions behind him, which belonged to the Xuanmiao Sect, leaving only Ji Zhaoze, Yun Qingyi, and a few others by his side.

"You must be tired from the journey." Ci Gui glanced at Ji Zhaoze, then his gaze fell on Yun Qingyi.

"Qingyi seems to have gained a lot and grown a lot on this trip. I am proud of you." After saying that, he slowly added another sentence.

"But I've also lost weight."

Although I felt gratified and proud, I felt mostly heartache.

“Master…” Yun Qingyi’s voice choked for a moment. She could be resilient and strong at any time and in any place, but only here in Cigui could her vulnerability, which she had long despised and ignored, easily surface.

"Yes, I know you have suffered a lot while I am here."

"Master..." Yun Qingyi called out softly again, but ultimately closed her mouth.

Although she had a lot to say, Yun Qingyi knew that the current occasion was not appropriate. Although the immortals present did not dare to openly watch, as the personal disciple of Immortal Venerable Cigui, she was undoubtedly a figure who attracted much attention.

As a disciple of the Xuanmiao Sect, the number one sect in the world, and the Immortal Venerable Cigui, how could I easily show my vulnerability to others?

His cool and aloof expression slightly furrowed, and he quickly composed himself, standing upright to the side as he waited with the others for the remaining disciples to emerge.

The other disciples came out one after another, and the quiet wilderness became noisy. At first, because Ci Gui was there, everyone was still restrained, but when they saw that Ci Gui did not react, and because each sect really cared about its disciples, after all, the disciples who could go to the secret realm were all treasures of their sect, they gradually became bolder.

"Oh dear, disciple, come and let your master see if you're injured inside? Have you encountered any troublesome monsters?" The sect leader of Shanshui Sect couldn't help but greet his disciple as soon as he saw him.

Gu Tian: "Master, please be more careful, there are many people here."

Master Shanshui: "Oh dear, they can't be bothered with us. Let Master take a look again. See, you're injured here."

"Oh dear, Master is so worried about you."

"Master..."

……

While the other sects weren't as extreme as the Shanshui Sect, they still expressed their concern one after another.

After this secret realm ends, the next event will be the once-in-a-century grand competition among various sects.

Yun Qingyi's gaze drifted towards the Zixiao Sect, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Now that thing is the young sect leader of the Zixiao Sect, he is naturally surrounded by admirers, but perhaps because he has not been a human being for too long, his movements and expressions are rather stiff and immature.

However, the members of the Zixiao Sect were so engrossed in the joy of their disciples' return that they didn't notice anything amiss for the time being.

Duan Leizhi observed and collected the information he needed in this way.

He certainly noticed the gazes of Yun Qingyi and the others, but remained unmoved.

Although he was very powerful at his peak, he is too weak now, so weak that he has to consider many rules and regulations before he can kill someone. He must first restore his strength before making any plans.

As for those few people, Duan Leizhi snorted coldly inwardly, knowing he wouldn't let any of them go.
