The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 922: It Was Yun Yubai Who Tip-Off

Perhaps in this life, he would be even more powerful, with a greater reputation!

However, his previous life’s title was "Fire Cloud（Huoyun）," and if he used that name again in this life, it would be confusing, wouldn’t it?

After thinking it through, he cleared his throat and said, "In that case, I’ll decide on my title today. I won’t use Fire Cloud anymore; from now on, just call me the ’Firewood Chopper’!"

The group couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Chopping firewood?

Was he serious?

"Fourth brother, no!" Nanli was the first to protest.

She looked flustered.

"Fourth brother, you should know that a title will follow you for your whole life. It will be hard to change later! Are you planning to ascend and have people call you ’Immortal Firewood Chopper’?"

Siheng quickly agreed, "A’Li is right."

Yun Jianchu, who had spent some time within Nanli, shot her a glance, "Actually, you’re not much better."

Nanli glared at her, "Don’t meddle."

Bai Hao frowned slightly, suddenly recalling something, "Chopping firewood? Isn’t that the same as the ’Chopping Firewood’ and ’Cutting Firewood’ techniques from the Limitless Palace?"

Cinian nodded, "It really is. It seems that Chu Yang’s connection to Limitless Palace extends from his past life to the present."

Only the elder ones like them would remember such details.

Chu Yang felt even more satisfied, "That’s settled then!"

Crimson Nine Lands curled his lips.

Though the master’s aura remained unchanged, his cultural level was clearly very different.

Well, as long as the master was happy.

Now that the past had been clarified, it was time to deal with Yun Yubai.

Ximen Chuan, who had been silently watching from the corner, finally spoke, "Good sister, these mother and son—one is the Asura Princess, and the other is a half-immortal, half-demon bloodline. The immortals couldn’t tolerate them a thousand years ago. Are you two going to follow Celestial Emperor Yining’s example and insist on protecting them?"

Yun Jianchu’s face stiffened.

She knew that the mother and son’s situation wouldn’t end well.

The real trouble was about to begin!

Yun Yubai instinctively shielded Yun Jianchu.

Yun Shen also clenched his fists and said, "If you’re going to kill the master, then kill me first!"

Cinian said, "Amitabha, Heaven has the virtue of nurturing life. Yun Yubai has now fully integrated the two bloodlines. He won’t lose control, so why must you keep pushing, Lord Ximen?"

The Twelve Shans no longer had much combat strength.

However, once the master made a decision, they wouldn’t hesitate to stand by Yun Yubai’s side.

Each of them wore a resolute expression.

Everyone’s gaze then fell on Bai Hao.

Clearly, they were asking which side he was on.

Bai Hao hummed and shrugged, "Cinian, even if I and the Bai family support Yun Yubai, what difference does it make? We’ve hidden their identities, but the guardian, Shang Jue, will never let him have it easy. He will spread the news about his half-demon bloodline."

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

Today, they could save Yun Yubai, but each sect and cultivator could not.

Ximen Chuan’s expression grew cold, "You don’t need to defend him. Didn’t Crimson Nine Lands just say that Yun Jianchu killed her two senior brothers? Seems like Yun Yubai is also learning from her, working with others in the shadows."

Yun Jianchu could no longer bear the slander and suspicion.

She raised her hand, wanting to attack Ximen Chuan.

But as soon as she raised her hand, she realized how awkward it was.

Now, she was just a fragment of a Demon Soul, residing within a scarecrow.

Ximen Chuan sneered, "Do you really think you can take action against me?"

Yun Jianchu lowered her hand, her face cold, "My two senior brothers died outside, their deaths have nothing to do with me! But it’s been so long, they’re already beyond recognition, and I can’t be bothered to argue with you. You can say whatever you want about me, but don’t say anything about my son! He doesn’t even know who Shang Jue is!"

Ximen Chuan wasn’t polite in his retort, "Then why did Shang Jue suddenly attack tonight? Her timing is so precise, and she used Qiao Nanyi to set up a trap. It’s obvious that someone tipped her off and knew about the Demon Soul inside Nanli!"

He looked at Yun Yubai with suspicion.

Having been in the shadows for so long, he would not trust anyone easily, always assuming the worst of others.

Cinian spoke up in defense of Yun Yubai, "Lord Ximen, this matter was only known to the old monk initially..."

How the information was leaked still needed to be investigated further.

The Crimson Glow Peak Master suddenly remembered what happened in the cave and was startled.

His lips moved, but he ultimately chose to remain silent.

Ximen Chuan narrowed his eyes, clearly noticing this, and coldly said, "Crimson Glow Peak Master, you, Yun Yubai, and Yun Shen must know the truth, right? Your expressions have been off from the start."

He had noticed it long ago!

It was only now that he decided to strike, hitting the mark immediately.

Nanli was compassionate and loyal, but sometimes she was too trusting, not understanding the need for caution. Yun Yubai, though the son of Celestial Emperor Yining, was still a half-immortal, half-demon bloodline. How could anyone fully trust him?

It would be better to act according to his own methods, eliminating suspicious people to avoid future trouble.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Crimson Glow Peak Master’s face turned pale, unsure how to respond.

Yun Shen held his neck up, not very good at lying. In the end, he could only say, "Yes! We knew when we were at Yunxiao Peak, but Master would never betray the Ninth Princess! I swear on my life!"

"Hmph, what’s your life worth?" Ximen Chuan sneered.

Nanli had almost been harmed, and Siheng’s face grew grim: "Master Yun, did you notify them?"

Chu Yang had subconsciously blocked the door.

If Yun Yubai suddenly turned hostile, he would be able to capture him immediately.

Yun Yubai replied calmly, only saying two words: "No."

Crimson Nine Lands stirred trouble, "Use torture! We’ll definitely make him speak the truth!"

Siheng, annoyed by his incessant talking, raised his hand and struck him back to his original form, saying, "I believe Master Yun."

His gaze shifted, already figuring out the reason.

But Nanli was quicker to speak: "You reset the Jialan Celestial Mountain’s array yesterday and didn’t have time to distribute the entry tokens, did you?"

"By now, it’s almost midnight, how could we have had time?" Siheng understood what they were implying and smiled, "You go check Master Yun’s residence, I’ll go check which elders and disciples are missing."

"Alright." Nanli nodded.

The two immediately split up.

They couldn’t keep up with Siheng, but they could follow Nanli.

Nanli searched the house thoroughly.

At first, she didn’t find anything unusual.

"This is..." Cinian couldn’t quite grasp the situation.

Bai Hao asked, "Is there something strange in the house?"

Ximen Chuan frowned, also puzzled.

Then Chu Yang’s eyes flickered, "I remember now, the rooms we stayed in were all cleaned and arranged by the Jialan disciples. It looks like someone may have tampered with the rooms in advance."

Qing Feng paused for a moment, "But they cleaned the rooms, and both I and Qiao Nanyi inspected them after. We didn’t find anything unusual."

Nanli spoke from the other side, "Did you check with magical tools?"

"Yes, those magical tools are specifically used to detect Talismans or magical treasures." Qing Feng nodded, "We didn’t dare to be careless."
