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

Chapter 81 Crying at the drop of a hat? 2
Looking at Lan Xi's timid appearance, Lin Yan's heart softened, and her tense expression relaxed considerably. She said gently, "Here, there aren't so many rules. Eat whatever you want."

Seeing that Lan Xi was still sitting there blankly without making a sound, Lin Yan gently moved her fingers, and a spirit fruit was steadily moved into the other person's hand.

"Eat! If you don't eat, I'll force you to eat!" Lin Yan placed her hands on the edge of the coffee table, raised her eyebrows slightly, and gave a deliberately stern look.

Lanxi timidly raised her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with grateful tears, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Thank you... thank you, fairy."

Lan Xi carefully took the spirit fruit and nibbled on it. Seeing how reserved she was, Lin Yan waved her sleeve again, sending two more spirit fruits wrapped in spiritual energy to Lan Xi. Lan Xi was startled at first, but then continued nibbling. Seeing that Lan Xi had finished all three spirit fruits, Lin Yan finally stopped.

"Now that we've finished eating, it's time to get down to business." Lin Yan had one hand hanging naturally at her side, while she poured herself a cup of tea with the other. Her expression was somewhat nonchalant as she spoke, and her gaze seemed to fall casually on Lan Xi.

"Is...is there a way for the fairy to rescue my sisters who are with me?" Lan Xi's eyes were full of hope, her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and her whole body was tense.

Lin Yan remained calm and composed, saying casually, "There is a way, but I don't know if it will work." She took a sip of tea, her tone becoming more serious, "What I'm talking about isn't saving people."

"Fairy, you said I can accept whatever bad outcome may be!"

"Let's put aside the issue of hiding so many people undetected, let's talk about their resettlement. After rescuing them, what will we do with them? You have dual spiritual roots, so finding a sect to join won't be difficult. But what about your sisters? Are their spiritual root talents all the same as yours?"

The children that the peach blossoms abducted to be used as furnaces were all tricked into coming from towns inhabited by mortals after their spiritual roots were tested. The probability of a mortal child having a spiritual root is already small, and it is even rarer to find someone like Lan Xi with dual spiritual roots! She didn't believe that those people had dual spiritual root attributes like Lan Xi.

They were already outside the sect's criteria for accepting disciples at their age. Besides, those with mixed spiritual roots wouldn't even warrant a glance from the sect.

The reason I spoke to Lanxi tonight was not to ask her to give up the rescue, but to make her think about the arrangements before rescuing people, and also to make my stance clear!

She can help rescue people, but how they are cared for is their own problem. It's impossible to rescue someone and then arrange their entire life for them.

Upon hearing this, the hope in Lan Xi's eyes gradually dimmed. Her face showed hesitation; she clearly hadn't considered what to do after rescuing them. "Fairy, I've never thought about that… I only thought about rescuing them first, and taking it one step at a time…"

Lin Yan looked at Lan Xi, her tone even more serious: "Taking it one step at a time is not a solution. Otherwise, even if we rescue them, it will just be another place for them to suffer."

Lanxi was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said cautiously, "Fairy, could we take them to some small sects or families? Even if they do some menial tasks, it would be better than being tortured in the Peach Blossom Sect."

Lin Yan shook her head: "It's possible. But do you know anything about those sects? What if some of those smaller sects are colluding with the Peach Blossom Sect?"

"Then we can send them home..."

“Sending them home is one option, but their return home would mean the Peach Blossom Sect’s scheme in these mortal villages has failed. Can you guarantee that the Peach Blossom Sect hasn’t left people in these mortal villages to monitor them, so that the scheme’s failure would lead to the entire village being blamed?”

Lin Yan's concerns were not without merit. What kind of kind people could the Peach Blossom Sect be capable of such vile acts? They were certainly capable of the heinous act of slaughtering a village of mortals. Unless there's a way to completely eradicate this sect…

Lanxi's eyes dimmed again, her hands tightly twisting the hem of her clothes, at a loss. "I can't hide you forever, so you have to figure out how to take care of them after you rescue them. When I leave Richeng, I will take you with me, but where to take them is up to you to decide or discuss with them before making a decision."

Lanxi bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes, trying hard not to let them fall. "Fairy, I'll think about it some more and I'll definitely come up with a good solution."

"Okay, you should go back to your room and rest."

After Lan Xi left, the courtyard returned to silence. Lin Yan sat on the futon, closed her eyes, and began meditating. While others slept at night, she stayed awake, secretly cultivating to the point of exhaustion!

His divine sense enveloped the courtyard he occupied, extending all the way to the main gate. When he tried to explore the other houses, he was blocked. His plan to use his divine sense to find out which specific room Peach Blossom Gate was imprisoning the person had been thwarted!

She remembered the residence where the Peach Blossom Sect was located in Sun City. Her plan was to go to the vicinity of the residence and use her divine sense to find out the exact location where the disciples were being held, sneak in unnoticed, and secretly rescue them. But now it seems that won't work. She still has to investigate...

Just then, light footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Several men in black were loitering on the street next to the mansion, trying to sneak into it, but they couldn't break through the array.

The city is under strict surveillance during the day, and there will definitely be patrols at night. These men in black actually dared to take action. They are really bold!

The men in black were not highly skilled; only one was at the Foundation Establishment stage, while the rest were at the late Qi Refining stage.

Yes, the Peach Blossom Sect isn't a proper cultivation sect, so it's normal for its fighters to have low cultivation levels. It's only because of the unusual nature of its business and its collusion with various powerful forces that it has continued to exist.

Lin Yan suddenly felt an itch to touch her hands...

These people's cultivation levels are too low; they're not even qualified to be nourishment for the space! But reducing the number of thugs from the Peach Blossom Sect will be beneficial for the subsequent rescue. It just so happens that there are troublemakers hiding in Sun City; we can attribute all these people's disappearances to those troublemakers.

Lin Yan released the pressure of her Golden Core realm, suppressing the people outside the courtyard so they couldn't move.

One of the men in black realized what was happening and immediately begged for forgiveness: "We have disturbed you, Master. Please forgive us! We will leave now and will not disturb you again!"

Leave? What will they use as nourishment for their space if they leave?
She appeared before the men in black, and before they could even see her clearly, they were all beheaded, utterly dead. This time, no finishing blow was needed, because their heads had been severed from their bodies.

In an instant, all the corpses were collected into the space and buried in the soil as nutrients.

After dealing with the person, he used a cleansing spell to wipe away the bloodstains on the ground, leaving no trace.

Just as I was about to leave, I vaguely sensed someone spying on me! I checked with my divine sense, but saw no one.
