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

Chapter 256 Master has emerged from seclusion 2
"This item was obtained by my disciple from the trial realm. It was originally a magic weapon carried by Ling Yun, but was later taken into the realm by his young disciple."

As she said this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her fists clenched involuntarily. "That encirclement and the lightning punishment did not completely eliminate him, leaving behind a remnant soul that is hiding in this bracelet."

"His little apprentice carried the bracelet into the secret realm to help him plunder the life force and spiritual power of other cultivators in order to restore his remnant soul. Later, both of them were killed by his apprentice, and this item fell into my hands."

"It's just that my cultivation level is not high enough to see what's inside the bracelet. It's also because of this item that I've been hunted down several times. My cultivation level is too low, so I'll leave it to Master to handle."

She rattled off a bunch of things, and seeing her master easily peel off the talisman and take out the bracelet inside, she hurriedly continued to remind him: "Master, after all, it's a bracelet that was worn by a fallen demon. I'm most afraid that there might be some hidden secrets inside."

"rest assured."

Wen Ningqing examined the bracelet closely, then drew out a wisp of her divine sense to cover its surface and probe inside.

There was still a spiritual imprint left by Ling Yun on it. Her cultivation level was lower than Ling Yun's, and she had just experienced a great battle, so her current state was not suitable for forcibly erasing the spiritual imprint.

"I will leave this item with you."

"Yes," Lin Yan replied respectfully.

Realizing that Sect Leader Xuan had sent people to hunt her down, one of their motives was likely the bracelet, she promptly shared this information with her master.

"Don't worry, my disciple. I will find a place to seal this away for now."

As the two were chatting, Elder Rong Ce also arrived.

Wen Ningqing did not want anyone to know that she had emerged from seclusion, so she had long since concealed her aura and hidden her cultivation level.

She also rushed to the cave entrance to prevent the other party from entering the cave directly.

Fortunately, the other party was not the kind of elder who would casually enter a disciple's cave.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, she bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Elder Rong Ce. Is there any urgent matter that brings you here, Elder?"

"You've probably already heard everything about the Mohists' marriage proposal, so I won't go into details. What are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, she looked surprised. The bird she had left behind was no different from any other spiritual creature, and since it was formed from a spirit stone, it was difficult to detect when hidden in places with abundant spiritual energy. However, she did not expect that Rong Ce would discover it.

If the elder could easily see through my little trick of eavesdropping, did the elder of the Mo family, who was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, also notice it?

Seeing her embarrassment, Rong Ce said, "It would be shameful for me to be discovered by outsiders that someone in the sect is using this method to eavesdrop. I have secretly cast a concealment spell on the birds, so they won't be able to detect it."

She thanked him with increasing embarrassment, feeling utterly ashamed. Fortunately, she was thick-skinned enough that the feeling was fleeting.

"Now answer me, what are your thoughts?" Rong Ce asked again, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Reporting to the elder, I have no interest in Mo Yu and do not wish to have any entanglement with him. I ask that you, as an elder, refuse on my behalf!"

Lin Yan spoke with conviction, proving that she had no feelings for Mo Yu and that it was all one-sided entanglement on his part.

With Elder Rongce intervening, it's probably not appropriate for the two people who came to propose marriage to stay in the Miaofa Sect.

Although she felt it was a pity that she couldn't find an opportunity to kill Mo Yu in the Miaofa Sect after he left, she also felt that it was a double-edged sword that there was no one to bother her anymore.

"Row."

After hearing this, Rong Ce turned and disappeared. Only after he left did she turn around.

To her surprise, when she turned around, she saw that her master was already at the cave entrance.

"Master..."

Wen Ningqing frowned slightly, trying to ask in a gentle tone, "A junior from the Mo family has come to propose marriage, is he seeking to become your Daoist partner?"

"Yes..." Lin Yan was extremely embarrassed. She felt as if her master had caught her in a secret affair. "Please, Master, go back and sit down. I will explain everything to you." She went back into the cave, asked Ning Qing to sit down, and raised her hand to set up a protective barrier. "Speak."

Lin Yan recounted everything about her relationship with Mo Yu, from the time they met to the time they proposed marriage, without hiding anything from him.

After she finished speaking, her master's expression was not good.

"No wonder they come from the Mo family, and they even share the same lineage as Mo Feijue. Neither of them are good people!"

Hearing her master's assessment, she nodded in agreement. "Elder Rong Ce will help me reject this marriage proposal tomorrow. They certainly won't have the face to bother me again after that."

“My dear disciple is wrong! Some people are of low character. After being rejected, they might spread rumors and slander you to gain sympathy by playing the victim.”

She nodded in agreement, then obediently replied, "This disciple will remember Master's teachings."

"Perhaps they have another purpose in coming to propose marriage. Disciple, think carefully about what you have that is more important than a spirit stone mine."

“No,” she said firmly.

None of what I currently possess is worth such a generous offer from the other party.

The only unknown thing, whose value is still unknown, is the bracelet she brought out from the secret realm.

Could it be that they're also after the Lingyun Bracelet?

After she voiced her guess, she saw her master examine the bracelet.

This bracelet is the style of an ordinary magical bracelet, and you can't tell anything from the surface unless you open it up to take a look.

"While I'm away helping your senior sister protect the Dharma, you should stay in your cave and cultivate in seclusion. I will set up an array outside, so even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot break in."

"Yes, I will follow Master's arrangements."

Wen Ningqing nodded, and seeing that it was almost time, she went out to set up the formation and then left the Miaofa Sect.

Her master was truly considerate of her; not only could no one else enter the cave, but she herself was also unable to leave.

Is he afraid she'll get restless and leave? Master really doesn't understand her at all.

Fortunately, her bird was still outside, so even though she couldn't go out, she could see what was happening outside through the bird.

One of the birds was concealed by Rong Ce's magic, allowing him to observe it more freely without having to hide from people.

During its free time, the bird moved to a different tree and even hid in an empty nest.

When she reconnected, the bird was incubating its eggs.

Why would a bird incubate the eggs laid by other birds for no reason? It's not like birds are meant to incubate their own eggs.

With the time approaching, Rong Ce had to refuse the marriage proposal. She didn't have time to worry about hatching the eggs and hurriedly flew to the residence where the two lived.

She manipulated the birds to mimic the natural posture of birds when they are perched, without revealing any flaws.

However, a sound-blocking barrier was placed in the room, so no sound could be heard from the birds.

These two are living in someone else's sect's residence, and they have to mute their conversations; it must be something shady.

Just as she was struggling to hear any sounds from inside the house, she saw Rong Ce fly over a bird on his sword and land in front of the gate.

The sound-blocking barrier in the room was removed, and Mo Yu came out to greet him.
