"She..." Before Xu Liang could weave a lie to deceive Xiao Ye, the person who was unconscious against her, perhaps unconsciously caught the name, and her brows furrowed.
Xu Liang put a finger to his lips. "Shh. I'll tell you in detail when we have the chance."
"Okay!"
Ono moved mechanically and listlessly the whole way. If it weren't for Xu Liang constantly paying attention to the road conditions and reminding her frequently, who knows what might have happened on this journey home.
We finally arrived at Gu Yueyue's house.
Xiao Ye and Xu Liang helped Gu Jingjun settle into bed.
Xiao Ye was covered in sweat from exhaustion. "Sister Yue is usually not heavy, why is she unusually heavy today?"
"I must be too tired." Xu Liang made up a reason casually. It wasn't that Gu Yueyue had become heavier, but rather that there were several souls in her body. How could a mortal move a celestial being's spirit body so easily?
Ono pulled Xu Liang to the balcony and began to quietly inquire about the situation from her.
After careful consideration and deliberation, Xu Liang told her about the situation.
"You already know that Xu Yi is my senior sister, right?"
"Yes, yes. The people from the Special Affairs Department told me. I only knew that Xiao Xu was capable, but I didn't expect her to be this capable." Xiao Ye thought of what Xu Yi had said to her on the way to Cangshan. Later, she called her mother, who told her about how the two children had not been saved.
Xu Liang nodded slightly, "That's how it is. So this time, my senior sister sacrificed herself to enter the formation for the sealing."
"Then she..." Ono had a guess, but dared not say it.
After seeing Xu Liang nod, Ono covered her mouth and let tears flow from her eyes.
"You..." Xu Liang didn't expect Xiao Ye to be so heartbroken. It seems that his senior sister has not only gained love in this world, but also friendship. That's great, and it's enviable.
Ono took a deep breath. "Won't Sister Yue be heartbroken? How will she live her life from now on?"
"..." Xu Liang's expression was somewhat complicated. "Don't cry. She probably isn't too sad."
"How could she not! You don't know how much Sister Yue cares about Xu Yi. How could she die?" Xiao Ye cried, unable to catch her breath. "My sister's life has been so hard. She finally... finally had a glimmer of hope, and lately she's been smiling more often. How could that Xu Yi die?"
Xu Liang is not a heartless person. In fact, because she has taken care of her junior brothers and sisters in Cangshan since she was a child, she has a very soft heart and cannot bear to see her younger brothers and sisters cry.
"Hey. Don't cry. Actually..." Xu Liang glanced quietly towards Gu Yueyue's room. She casually set up a barrier on the balcony and whispered to Xiao Ye, "Actually, Senior Sister can be resurrected. But we can't let Teacher Gu know about this."
"Why?"
“Because, because…” Xu Liang scratched her head. She hated lying the most because she couldn’t lie at all.
"Anyway, you can't tell Teacher Gu, otherwise my senior sister won't be able to be resurrected." Xu Liang decided not to lie and told her half-heartedly, "This is their emotional debt from their past lives, so don't worry about it."
They learned that Xu Yi could be resurrected.
Ono smiled broadly, but soon realized a very serious problem.
"When will she come back to life? Will she still be Xu Yi when she comes back to life? Will Sister Yue have to wait for her for thousands of years? What if she won't be Xu Yi when she wakes up? I mean, will she still have Xu Yi's memories by then?"
Xu Liang never expected that someone could be so quick-witted.
"Whether he can come back to life... that depends on my senior sister, uh, on her recovery ability. She definitely won't make Teacher Gu wait for a thousand or eight hundred years. My senior sister already asked me to arrange the proposal, and I've got everything done on my end. We're just waiting for Teacher Gu to reflect on his actions, and then we can get married. —That's it!"
Xu Liang suddenly covered her mouth, as if she had revealed her senior sister's plan.
"wedding!"
Ono was indeed very excited and screamed.
Even though there was a barrier on the balcony, Xu Liang was so frightened that he reached out and covered Xiao Ye's mouth.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, can you please stop making such a fuss?"
"Am I overreacting? It's just that the news you released was too frightening."
Ono was startled by the word "wedding" and complained, "Xu Yi is really something, she didn't tell us anything beforehand. Besides, she hasn't even proposed yet. Who said we were going to marry her? If you want to get married, then live a good life first. I won't allow Sister Yue to marry a dead person."
"Well, according to our previous agreement, my senior sister will marry into the Gu family."
“Then my sister Yue can’t marry a dead person!” Xiao Ye suddenly remembered what Xu Yi had told her before, and immediately laughed in a sarcastic tone, “If I had known, I would have bought her an ice coffin. Oh… I forgot, she didn’t even leave behind any remains, so buying an ice coffin wouldn’t be of any use.”
Xu Liang had a bit of a headache talking to her. She had just revealed the news that her senior sister would be resurrected after seeing the little girl crying so sadly. As a result, the little girl started to talk a lot after she found out about this.
"Yes, yes, my senior sister won't become a dead person. She's working very hard to revive, and once she's alive, she'll marry Teacher Gu. You can rest assured, there will be a grand wedding with ten miles of red bridal procession."
Ono wiped away her tears, feeling much more at ease after hearing her say that. "Okay. I'll wait and see."
"Mmm." Xu Liang took out a handkerchief and handed it to her. "Wipe your tears."
Xiao Ye had composed herself, no longer crying or making a fuss, and asked weakly, "Will Xu Yi be able to come back in a week? She has to go on the Spring Festival Gala on Jinshi TV. The contract has already been signed. If she doesn't go, she will have to pay a penalty for breach of contract and will also be blacklisted by the industry."

Chapter 109
"I'm not sure about that either, but I can help my senior sister recover faster, maybe she can make it in time."
Xu Liang guessed that her senior sister wanted to torment the Gu family head because every time they encountered danger, even though the two of them could have a chance of survival by working together, the Gu family head would always disregard life and death and go to his death alone. This hurt her senior sister's feelings, so her senior sister wanted to punish her.
But she felt that given her senior sister's feelings for the Gu family head, her senior sister wouldn't bear to mistreat her for more than a week.
"I have other things to do, so I'll leave Teacher Gu in your care." Xu Liang left her a phone number. "Teacher Gu should wake up around 11 or 12 at night. If not, you can call me."
After Xu Liang left, Xiao Ye stayed at Gu Yueyue's house with unease.
I called my mother to let her know that she would be staying at Gu Yueyue's house today.
Her mother didn't suspect anything, she just told her to take good care of herself and Gu Yueyue.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ye went to the bedroom to check on Gu Yueyue, who was still unconscious, her face pale and her brows furrowed, looking heartbreaking.
Ono held her phone, checking the time every now and then, and finally set an alarm every half hour so she could take a short rest on the sofa.
Xu Liang left Gu Yueyue's home and headed straight for Cangshan Mountain.
This time she went very quickly. Just like before, when she was in a real hurry, she would let her consciousness go first, while her body was controlled by her remaining spiritual consciousness to buy tickets and board the train properly.
Outside Xu Yi's cave in the Cangshan Secret Realm.
Xu Liang didn't rush to knock on the door. Instead, he looked around and cleared away any traces of his divine sense to avoid revealing the place.
"Senior Sister!"
Xu Liang gently stepped out of the barrier outside the cave. The people inside sensed the information from the outside world, and the barrier gradually broke open.
Xu Liang quickly squeezed his way in.
After passing through a dark and long passage, we arrived at the final cave.
Xu Liang was once again stunned by the dazzling jewels decorating his senior sister's cave.
The cave was simply furnished, with a jade bed in the center where Xu Yi himself lay.
Quiet and peaceful, as if it no longer exists in this world.
"Senior Sister, I've sent Patriarch Gu back. She should wake up tonight." Xu Liang took a chair from a mirage pavilion on the wall of the cave and sat down leisurely.
Xu Yi's eyelashes trembled slightly on the stone bed, like a person frozen by frost gradually beginning to move.
This is the true Xu Yi, the sword cultivator from ten thousand years ago.
Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, like a compassionate yet aloof god, revealing no joy or sorrow, only a serene calm that embraced all things.
Xu Liang felt a little scared by Xu Yi's words, but since she was his senior sister who had lived and cultivated with him since childhood, Xu Liang's fear was quickly suppressed and then disappeared without a trace.
"Senior Sister, when do you plan to go out?" Xu Liang took out a pill from her pocket. "This is a Disguise Pill. After you take it, you can imagine what your mortal body looks like, and the Disguise Pill will automatically disguise you as that."
If Xu Yi doesn't change her current appearance, she'll probably go straight to the trending topics as soon as she goes out.
Given Xu Yi's current popularity, even the slightest change in her will be scrutinized by netizens, not to mention her suddenly refined and high-end appearance and figure.
Instead of answering her directly, Xu Yi asked her, "What do you think?"
"I... I feel like this? I've heard people say that relationships are all about communication between two people, and I think you and the Gu family head have basically never communicated."
“Communication,” Xu Yi murmured, then sneered, “If she could listen to me, I wouldn’t have done this.”
"Will she be sad?" Xu Yi asked Xu Liang, as if she were asking herself.
Xu Liang hurriedly replied, "Of course I was sad. I kept calling for you on the way back. I couldn't sleep well even after I got home."
"Then let her be sad." Xu Yi was also furious.
If it weren't for the sealing of the evil beast in Cangshan, she might have kept those things from back then in her heart and lived a peaceful life with Gu Yueyue.
Whether Gu Yueyue can accompany her through this tribulation or not is irrelevant; what matters is being with her.
But the incident at Cangshan reminded her of the past, of the times she had been abandoned.
Xu Liang didn't dare to speak, silently lowering his head and counting on his fingers.
"You married a mortal. How has your married life been?"
It was rare for her senior sister to show concern for her, and even though it was just to change the subject, and the change was rather abrupt, it was enough to make Xu Liang happy.
"She's alright. That woman is a real estate developer; she's the one who bought Cangshan." Xu Liang picked out some information and told his senior sister, "At first, I thought she was very rich and a wicked capitalist."
"And now? Has your opinion of her changed?"
"Yes! She has no money at all, she's very poor. She didn't buy Cangshan either. She had a partnership with the Special Affairs Office. The Special Affairs Office was afraid that ordinary people would wander into this place by mistake, so they bought it in her name. In reality, there was no development plan at all."
"And another thing, her family has a lot of problems. When she first got married, all of her relatives were really weird. They would cause trouble every now and then."
"She herself is sickly, not only is her health poor, but her fate is also bad. People like her are either harmed by villains or haunted by ghosts. I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry her. I wonder if she is some kind of calamity I owed in my past life."
A hint of sympathy actually appeared on Xu Yi's perpetually wooden face.
"Is she treating you well?" Xu Yi felt that her junior sister didn't seem to be very aggrieved.
Xu Liang was silent for a while. "I don't know either. Every time her relatives came to cause trouble, she would stand in front of me. Although she attracted the harm of villains, she always protected me. As for ghosts and monsters, she can't be blamed for that. It's fate, and she can't avoid it."
"Is it good for you or bad?" Xu Yi felt that her junior sister was also troubled by love.
