After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 253 I can’t finish the killing, I can’t finish it at all
"Look what you are!" she said, her fingers flying as she quickly cast a spell.

The person who came was not expected to make a sudden move. They thought they had disguised themselves well, but they were still exposed!

He was injured before he could dodge, but his disguise hadn't completely fallen off. Fortunately, his companions arrived in time and rescued him.

Lin Yan's expression was solemn as she looked at the spot where the person had disappeared, where there was a puddle of water.

She didn't go out to check; instead, she turned and went back into the cave.

If I'm not mistaken, that handyman disciple was actually a member of the sea race in disguise.

With Wen Gui dead, the Sea Clan will surely come. Rong Ce had suppressed the news of Wen Gui's death until now, when he finally issued a public announcement that Wen Gui had left the sect.

This was clearly the result of a joint discussion after the arrival of the sea creatures.

For the sake of the sect's reputation, Venerable Rongce could not allow a fallen disciple to remain in the sect, so he had to make him leave the sect while he was still "alive".

The Sea Clan reached an agreement with him to handle Wen Gui's withdrawal from the clan and bring him back to the Sea Clan.

What are the conditions for reaching a consensus? The sea creatures can't possibly cooperate without any benefit in return, can they?
Their crown prince died, and it's highly unlikely that the sea tribe would cooperate without any conditions. Could it be her?

Lin Yan quickly dismissed the idea.

If the condition is to sacrifice her and hand her over, the sea creatures will not use this method to lure them out.

She killed Wen Gui; even if Rong Ce didn't say so, it would be too easy for the sea people to find out.

Who told Wen Gui to send cultivators to kill him, who were dispatched from the sea tribe?

Could it be that the sea creatures wanted to lure her out and kill her to avenge their prince?

This hypothesis is currently the most reasonable. But she still feels it's not comprehensive enough, not that simple.

It wasn't that she was overthinking things; when she went to Mo City before, it wasn't just the sea tribes chasing her. She felt that this time it wouldn't be just one group of people either.

The enemies are endless, and there are no way to kill them all.

This shows that her decision was correct; staying on Guiyun Peak is the safest place now. As long as she doesn't leave, even if old man Lingyun comes, he can't do anything to her.

While she could cultivate peacefully in her cave, the others were scratching their heads, trying to lure her out of the Miaofa Sect.

I tried many methods, but none of them worked.

Using her family to threaten her? But she had already fled to the sect's recruitment conference, and her family was no longer there.

Trying to lure her with friends? She used to be a rogue cultivator, with shallow relationships with everyone. She has a cold personality, so why would she risk her life for a friend with whom she has only a superficial relationship?

She has a reclusive personality and no Daoist partner. Not long ago, she even stabbed a member of the Mo family who confessed his love to her.

The sea prince broke many teacups on his airship. Ironically, no one tried to stop him, and he was even encouraged to anger.

"What's the use of breaking it? The priority now is to lure people out."

"What other options are there?" the prince said irritably.

“If she has relatives outside, perhaps she can lure them out,” the priest guided.

"Who says there isn't one?" The prince clenched his fist. "If there isn't one, can't we just make one up!"

……

Lin Yan cultivated in the cave for several days and felt much more comfortable. It had been a long time since she had been able to cultivate peacefully in a place with such abundant spiritual energy.

The spiritual plants cultivated in the space are also growing well, especially the batch of spiritual plants used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills. Once they are harvested and refined into Foundation Establishment Pills, a large amount of spirit stones will be earned.

One day, a disciple came to her cave dwelling, saying that Elder Rong Ce wanted to see her. She didn't go out immediately, but instead talked with the disciple for a while.

"I wonder if the elder has clearly stated what it is about?"

This question was rather clumsy, but she was just trying to buy time to figure things out, so she just picked a random question.

There was no particular smell in the air, unlike the faint salty and damp smell that had been there before.

The disciple who came to call her was not a menial disciple; he was dressed in inner disciple robes and wore an inner disciple's jade badge.

There are many inner disciples of the Miaofa Sect, but she has not seen many of them before, and she felt that this person was unfamiliar.

Upon hearing the question, the disciple respectfully replied, "The elder did not explain, but only instructed me to come and inform him."

"I see. Did the elder say when to go?"

The disciple shook his head: "The elder only instructed me to come and invite you. Judging from the elder's meaning, you should come immediately."

"Alright then. Did the elder say anything else?"

The disciple recalled, "He only instructed me to come and invite you to come."

Lin Yan nodded, wondering what Rong Ce wanted to see her about. The matter of Wen Gui was settled, and she was no longer his disciple, so what could he possibly want?

Just because he sent someone to invite her, does she have to go? She's not a disciple of the Miaofa Sect, so apart from her master, no one has the right to order her around or control her.

She smiled and said, "I would like to trouble you to go back and tell the Venerable One that I have reached a critical juncture in my seclusion and it is not advisable for me to leave my cave."

To express her apology for making people come all this way for nothing, she offered ten high-grade spirit stones as a token of her regret.

"This is just a small token of my apology; I apologize for troubling you, fellow Daoist."

Seeing this, the disciple happily accepted the spirit stones, showing no impatience at having made a wasted trip.

Not long after, the disciple returned on his sword and called to her in front of the cave.

Upon seeing the person emerge, the disciple bowed slightly in greeting. "Elder Rong Ce said that your parents are looking for you outside the mountain gate, so he asked you to go and confirm."

Lin Yan recalled that she had transmigrated into this world through a second birth, and all her relatives in this world had died during the famine. Where were her relatives now?
Even if their loved ones hadn't died, they were still mortals. How did they manage to overcome so many hardships and dangers to reach the town where the cultivators lived and board a flying boat?
The mortal realm is developing very well now, but it's not good enough to catch up with the spirit realm, is it?
She suspected something was amiss, so she took out ten more high-grade spirit stones and gave them to the disciple.

Ask him to make a trip for her, record the appearance of her relatives with a photographic stone, and ask the people who come to recognize their relatives if they have any tokens of kinship.

She can't just go out and check on two people who claim to be her parents.

The disciple took the spirit stones and flew away on his sword. He earned twenty high-grade spirit stones in the round trip, more than he would have earned from a single mission.

Lin Yan waited at the entrance of the cave. Not long after, he returned, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Real person, I think you should go and see for yourself." After saying that, he played the image from the recording stone.

Outside the mountain gate, there were indeed ordinary people claiming to be her relatives. A family of several people, including the elderly and children.

They threw a tantrum in front of the mountain gate, saying that she didn't come to see her relatives and had forgotten her parents, making a very ugly scene. Many people have already recorded the incident.

If no one intervenes, it won't be long before Jade Disc Square is filled with comments saying she's ungrateful and has abandoned her family.

"This... I don't know any of these people at all." Lin Yan looked blank, her expression genuine, because she truly didn't recognize them.

She was reborn after being reborn, so her memories from before she was a few years old are very blurry, but she can still recognize her parents.

She didn't recognize any of that family members, and it was obvious that they were deliberately brought here to cause trouble in front of the mountain gate in an attempt to ruin her reputation.
