Chapter 2232

After Zhu Yanyi left, a figure appeared behind the cemetery. She watched the direction she had gone, her expression strange. She walked to the grave, looked at the photograph, and said softly, "Good. This outcome is good."

Zhu Yanyi returned to the Zhu residence. Xie Xinlian was feeding Little Northwest. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she asked, "Is Elder Yao’s matter settled?"

"Yes, it is all done." Zhu Yanyi looked at Xie Xinlian. "Mother, I must return tomorrow. I came back on leave. Please trouble you, Father, and my parents to care for Little Northwest. I likely cannot return for a while. I should only come back when my term ends."

Xie Xinlian nodded. "Rest assured. He is now your father’s and my grandson."

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "By the way, how is Sister’s health?" Calculating the dates, Zhu Yanli seemed close to her due date.

"Her due date is next month. Rest assured, with me here, there will be no problem," Xie Xinlian said with a smile.

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "I understand. But you will be busy later, Mother. If you cannot manage, let Little Northwest stay with her grandparents for a while. My courses will finish soon. Do not worry about me."

Xie Xinlian looked at Zhu Yanyi calmly. "It is nothing. As long as you are safe and sound. You, if you have worries, speak them out. Do not keep them hidden in your heart."

Zhu Yanyi was startled for a moment, then understood. Xie Xinlian was worried she was sad about Elder Yao’s matter.

How could she be sad? At most, she felt embarrassed by the truth.

But these words could not be told to others. So she smiled and said to Xie Xinlian, "Mother, do not worry. I am fine. I just cannot adapt for a moment. In two days, it will be fine. Besides, I went to the Saint Realm. I am busy every day. Because of busyness, some things are forgotten."

Xie Xinlian believed this. Her daughter had a life of toil. She had been like this since childhood. "Remember, birth, aging, sickness, and death are destined. So do not be sad. Actually, your father and I will have this day too. It is only a matter of time."

"Mother, let us not speak of this. Let us not speak of this," Zhu Yanyi said, acting coquettishly. "Mother, I want to eat stir-fried pine pollen."

"Good." Xie Xinlian finished feeding Little Northwest, then handed her to Zhu Yanyi to pat her back for burping, and went to make the stir-fried pine pollen.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. Many things would become clear later. So she did not wish to speak now.

After lunch at the Zhu residence, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan took Little Northwest to the Yan residence. Regardless, Little Northwest was now a member of the Yan family. They had to let the Yan family see her.

Old Master Yan and the Madam liked Little Northwest as soon as they saw him. They smiled and said, "This child has fate with you."

Yan Aohan nodded. "Indeed. But Ani returns to school tomorrow. I will see her off. After that, I will return. If I do not return temporarily, Yanli will give birth next month. Then, Mother and Father, please bring Little Northwest here to care for her, so my parents-in-law do not tire."

"Enough. We know this matter. We will contact your parents-in-law ourselves. You need not worry. You are busy, so do your own things. Do not worry about family matters," the Madam waved her hand, agreeing to the matter.

The next day, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan left. This return was hurried, and the departure was also hurried. The trip lasted only a week, but in the Saint Realm, it had been more than twenty days.

"This time is truly speechless. The time in the Saint Realm is too speechless," Zhu Yanyi said, truly feeling speechless.

Yan Aohan comforted her, "It is fine. You came here for training. This is actually quite good."

Indeed, regarding training and cultivation, the time in the Saint Realm was best for Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi only spoke casually. She knew she came here for the time. If she entered the space here, compared to the Huaxia Realm, the time was multiplied many times. The time here was three times that of Huaxia. One day here, in the space, was one month. Calculating this, one day in Huaxia meant three months in the Saint Realm’s space. This was very good for Zhu Yanyi, whether for study, research, or training.

As originally planned, Yan Aohan dropped Zhu Yanyi at the Saint Academy and left.

Zhu Yanyi returned to her dormitory, tidied up, and then went to see Xi Muzheng.

Xi Muzheng saw Zhu Yanyi return and said, "Yu Qingyun did not return this time."

"She had few days left, so she did not return. I will handle her graduation procedures then. By the way, I gave her some ordinary medical knowledge from our side. It will be useful to her," Zhu Yanyi answered with a smile.

Xi Muzheng nodded. "The day after tomorrow, Elder Mu and others will return. The first batch of New Universe Guardians are Ouyang Tianyun and Jian Feiyan. The term is one year. After one year, others will be sent to replace them."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Actually, this is not bad. The matters in the Great Universe Realm are mostly resolved. I can finally rest for a while. I have experienced much this period, so I plan to enter seclusion for a time."

Xi Muzheng knew Zhu Yanyi cultivated the heart. Insight was important. Since she said she wanted to enter seclusion, she likely had gains. "Fine. But do not miss the opening of the Qixia Secret Realm next year?"

Zhu Yanyi nodded and smiled. "I will not miss such matters. I only enter short seclusion. I will not enter long seclusion in the short term."

Her relatives were still alive. If she entered long seclusion, she might not see them in this life. So Zhu Yanyi would not enter long seclusion.

Xi Muzheng understood Zhu Yanyi’s meaning and smiled slightly. "As long as you have a clear mind, it is fine."

Zhu Yanyi nodded, then took her leave and returned directly. Some matters, she now needed to sort out from the beginning.

Back in her residence, she hung the seclusion sign, activated the formation, and then entered the space. She really needed to think carefully. After all, too many things had happened in this period.

First, the Great Universe changed. She broke the trapped curse, thus regaining the generation of national fortune.

Next, Dan Sheng confessed. Then she made her consume the Phoenix Tree essence, altering her memory.

Then, Elder Yao was stabbed. She returned to find her dead. She left no words, saying she had no regrets. But Zhu Yanyi knew she did have regrets. It was just that the regret was not with her.
