Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 254 Shen Batian Arrives

Amid the complex expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred among the crowd, Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi walked out of the External Affairs Hall side by side. The sunlight outside the hall fell on them, as if coating them with a layer of dazzling brilliance.

"Ruyi, what are your plans next?" Shen Yun turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Ruyi beside him, and asked softly while walking slowly. His voice was gentle, like the breeze blowing on his face, full of concern and curiosity.

Lin Ruyi raised her head slightly, with a determined light flashing in her clear eyes, and said without hesitation: "Of course, I will practice well and strive to become a Jindan master as soon as possible!" Her words were full of longing and determination for the future.

After that, she turned her head and looked at Shen Yun playfully, and asked, "As for the rest, what about you? What are your plans?"

Shen Yun was naturally aware of Lin Ruyi's fiery gaze. He slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Ruyi affectionately. His eyes were no longer filled with the usual determination and courage, but with a subtle tenderness that seemed to melt people's hearts.

"Next, I will work hard to make myself stronger so that I can protect the people I care about." Shen Yun's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a great weight. After he finished speaking, he slowly stretched out his right hand, and his slender fingers gently stroked Lin Ruyi's pink face. The movement was so gentle that it was like touching a rare treasure, afraid that using a little more force would damage it.

Lin Ruyi's face instantly flushed, like the gorgeous sunset glow in the sky. But she did not avoid Shen Yun's touch, but closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the warmth and sweetness of this moment. She suddenly found that she really liked the feeling of Shen Yun gently touching her, which made her feel extremely at ease, as if as long as Shen Yun was by her side, she would not be afraid even if there was a storm ahead.

"Then when you are free, will you come to Biyun Peak to find me?" Lin Ruyi raised her head slightly and asked expectantly, her beautiful eyes full of nervousness and hope.

"Of course, little idiot," Shen Yun raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a doting smile, "You can also come to Shengxian Island anytime when you are free, and I will take you on a tour of the island. There are many wonderful sights there, and I want to share them with you."

"Yeah." Lin Ruyi nodded vigorously, her face filled with a happy smile, as bright as a flower blooming in spring.

In the following time, the two seemed to forget all the troubles in the world. They strolled along the trails in the mountains, listening to the cheerful singing of birds and admiring the colorful wild flowers around them. Sometimes, Shen Yun would pick the most beautiful flower for Lin Ruyi and gently put it in her hair, which made Lin Ruyi shy.

They also played together by the clear stream. Lin Ruyi used her little hands to splash water towards Shen Yun. Shen Yun did not dodge and let the cool water splash on his body. The laughter of the two echoed in the valley.

Unconsciously, a day passed quietly, and the afterglow of the setting sun covered the earth with a layer of golden gauze. Shen Yun looked at the sunset in the sky and knew it was time to set off back to Shengxian Island.

"Ruyi, I'm leaving." There was a hint of reluctance in Shen Yun's voice.

There was a hint of disappointment in Lin Ruyi's eyes, but she still forced a smile and nodded: "Well, be careful on your way."

Shen Yun hugged Lin Ruyi gently, then turned around and started his journey home. Lin Ruyi looked at his receding figure until he disappeared from her sight, then she slowly turned around and left, her heart full of anticipation for their next reunion.

After Shen Yun returned to Shengxian Island, he was thinking about paying respects to his master Huo Jingtian first. He hurried towards Huo Jingtian's residence with a respectful and anxious look. However, before he reached the door, he was respectfully stopped by the servant at the door.

"Master Shen Yun, Elder Huo is in seclusion and has ordered that no one should be disturbed." Although the servant's voice was low, it was clearly heard by Shen Yun.

Shen Yun paused when he heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded slightly and said, "Since Master is in retreat, I won't disturb you." After that, he turned around and slowly left.

Just after walking a few steps, another servant came running over in a hurry. Seeing Shen Yun, he quickly bowed and said, "Master Shen Yun, I just received news that the person you sent a message to has arrived in Liuyun City and is now in the inn in Liuyun City."

Shen Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face. It had only been a month since the message was sent back to Liucheng, and he did not expect his father Shen Batian to arrive so soon. He was filled with surprise and expectation.

He hurriedly left a letter for Huo Jingtian, carefully explaining the whole story, and then solemnly handed the letter to the servant, asking him to pass it on. After finishing the instructions, he walked out quickly.

After walking a few steps, Shen Yun suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something. As if he thought of something, he took out the sound transmission seal from his arms and sent a message to Lin Ruyi.

"Ruyi, are you free now?"

Almost instantly, Lin Ruyi's voice with a hint of pouting came from the other end of the sound transmission note: "What? Do you miss me so soon? I'm free now."

A look of gratitude appeared on Shen Yun's face, and he quickly said, "Can you come back to Liuyun City with me? I may need your help with some things."

"Okay, see you later." Lin Ruyi agreed to Shen Yun's request without hesitation and agreed on a meeting place. Her trust and support were unreserved.

Shen Yun put away the sound transmission seal, his heart filled with emotion and warmth. He quickened his pace and rushed to the place where he had agreed to meet Lin Ruyi, eager to see the figure who always accompanied him at the critical moment.

Shen Yun didn't have to wait long. Lin Ruyi's graceful figure soon appeared in his sight. She was wearing a light blue long skirt, which fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

"Let's go," Lin Ruyi broke the silence before Shen Yun could speak, with a gentle smile on her lips.

"Ruyi, don't you want to ask me what's going on?" Shen Yun looked at the considerate woman in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.

"Why should I ask? You will tell me what you can tell me. Why should I ask so many questions about things that I shouldn't know? Isn't this just adding to my own troubles?" Lin Ruyi's voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains. Her eyes were clear and firm, revealing her unconditional trust in Shen Yun.

Shen Yun felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He was very moved. He slowly stretched out his hands and gently embraced Lin Ruyi in his arms, as if she was the most precious baby in the world. Lin Ruyi's face turned slightly red, but she did not struggle. Instead, she leaned quietly on Shen Yun's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

Afterwards, Shen Yun gave Master Huo Jingtian the Golden Elixir Technique and summoned his father to come. His father, Shen Batian, had already told him the whole story of his stay in Liuyun City.
