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

Chapter 82 Rescuing People? 1
The night was as dark as ink, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of a gentle breeze could be heard.

Was I mistaken? Someone's divine sense swept over this area! If I'm not mistaken, the person is definitely not far away. Which courtyard is it in...?

This person's cultivation level is definitely no lower than hers, so she shouldn't really confront him. Since this person hasn't shown himself, he probably... won't interfere in her affairs.

……

Having escaped the ordeal tonight, Mu Feng was able to concentrate on alchemy, a rare treat. After refining one batch, he felt cheerful but couldn't sleep, so he decided to go to his study to read and relax his weary mind and body. However, as soon as he stepped out of the alchemy room, he saw Qi Yang sitting outside waiting for him.

The residences arranged by the Pill Association for alchemists all included small alchemy rooms. Qi Yang was originally supposed to live in the west courtyard, but on the first day he moved in, he said that he needed to live with someone he knew in an unfamiliar environment. The two of them not only shared an alchemy room, but also a bedroom.

"You want to use the pill room?" Mu Feng asked, puzzled.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the stars."

"Why are you looking at the stars at this hour? Are you bored?"

"Yeah, we're free! Let's go see it together."

Without waiting for Mu Feng's reply, Qi Yang grabbed the person and tried to fly directly over the wall, but was stopped.

"Why would we climb over the wall when we're in our own home? If we run into the patrol team, they'll think we're thieves."

The two entered through the main entrance, and an awkward situation arose as soon as the door opened. Mu Feng instinctively tried to pull his hand back, but Qi Yang held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

Lin Yan was glad she was used to wearing a veil, otherwise her embarrassment would have been obvious. "This... going out tonight?"

Mu Feng looked embarrassed, his smile somewhat stiff: "Um... Fellow Daoist Lin just got back?"

"Okay, then I won't bother you two any longer..." Lin Yan hurriedly replied, quickly escaping the awkward situation.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate opening and closing, Mu Feng glared at the person who wouldn't let go.

The next day, as soon as Lin Yan stepped out of her house, she sensed she was being followed. She continued walking calmly, turning into a small alley and hiding herself. Sure enough, the person behind her followed her in.

He couldn't see himself and was looking around when he suddenly froze. Lin Yan appeared instantly, her powerful aura forcing the man to his knees. "Following me? Who sent you?"

"Fairy... I don't understand what you're saying," the man replied tremblingly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Oh dear, if you don't understand, then there's no need to keep it."

Lin Yan was never good at interrogating people, and seeing that she couldn't get any answers, she simply sent the person to their death and neatly put them into her spatial storage.

Having come to Sun City, the only people I could possibly be involved with are from the Peach Blossom Sect. This person's cultivation level isn't high, so he must have been sent by the Peach Blossom Sect.

They suspected that Lanxi had been rescued by them, so they sent people over last night to investigate. But none of the people they sent returned, so they sent people over again to follow her and see if she had any other guards.

After dealing with the man, Lin Yan casually walked out of the alley and strolled around the area near Peach Blossom Sect's base in Sun City. She secretly memorized the terrain before going to a restaurant to get takeout before returning home.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Lan Xi approached with a worried expression, her lips pursed. "Fairy...are those people targeting you?"

"Why do you ask that?"

“Last night…last night I saw the fairy go out, and then she came back.”

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. "You're not asleep?" "I can't sleep... I'm worried..." Lan Xi lowered her head, her hand unconsciously clutching her sleeve.

"worry about what?"

Lan Xi didn't lift her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, whether from worry or anxiety, it was hard to tell. Her voice was barely audible: "I'm worried about the fairy."

"Oh." Lin Yan thought the other party was worried that she couldn't defeat those people and wouldn't be able to save the female disciples of the Peach Blossom Sect, so she nodded in response and took out a food box from her storage bag and handed it over. "Here, take this, I bought it from the restaurant."

Lanxi carefully took the food box, tears welling in her eyes, her voice slightly choked: "Fairy, you are so kind to me."

Seeing this, Lin Yan looked a little awkward, but her tone remained calm: "Don't think too much, eat first."

“Okay…” Lanxi carried the food box to the coffee table, put it down, and slowly opened it. Inside were delicious and exquisite dishes, emitting an enticing aroma. These days, she had been eating snacks and spiritual fruits, and her mouth had become tasteless. Now, smelling the aroma of the food, she couldn’t help but swallow.

"Fairy, would you like to eat with me?"

Lin Yan shook her head: "You eat, I'm going to the alchemy room."

Lan Xi nodded, looking dejected and pitiful. Seeing this, Lin Yan recalled being ostracized by her sect members and forced to eat dry rations alone in a corner. Even with little emotion left, her heart softened.

She walked over, sat down opposite her, and took off her veil, her tone still calm and indifferent: "Fine, I'll eat with you."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lanxi's eyes. She quickly took out the dishes from the food box, then went to get bowls and chopsticks. She rinsed them with water from the water tank, shook them dry, and then took small steps back to the coffee table to set them off before sitting down again.

The two sat facing each other, quietly eating their meal.

Lin Yan looked at Lan Xi wolfing down her food and felt a pang of pity: "Be careful, don't choke."

With her mouth full, Lanxi mumbled, "Fairy, this food is so delicious." Then, suddenly realizing something, she quickly swallowed what was in her mouth and started eating in small bites.

Seeing that the other person was uncomfortable, she said, "You don't need to be so reserved when you eat in front of me. The way you wolfed down your food just now was actually quite cute. I just wanted you to eat slowly, not to eat in a fussy manner."

Lanxi nodded hurriedly, but when she glanced up, she caught a glimpse of a slight smile on the fairy's face. She quickly looked away, her cheeks instantly turning crimson.

The fairy is so beautiful. To be by her side, even as a servant, would be worthwhile.

Seeing Lan Xi's expression, Lin Yan smiled even more: "Eat quickly, you'll have the energy to deal with what's coming next."

Lanxi knew the fairy was referring to rescuing her fellow disciples, and nodded in agreement.

After finishing the meal, Lin Yan's eyes turned serious: "The rescue operation is in the next two days. Have you thought about how to settle them?"

"Could...could you trouble the fairy to prepare a first-grade flying magic weapon for us and send us out of Sun City?" Lan Xi knew her request was excessive, so she asked cautiously, her head bowed low.

"Sure, but what's next? What are your plans? I don't want you to get arrested again the day after I send you out of Sun City."

Lanxi bit her lip, looked up at Lin Yan, and said, "Don't worry, Fairy. Once we leave Richeng, we'll find a secluded place to hide and wait for things to calm down before we each find our own way out."

Lin Yan frowned slightly: "Do you think this will allow you to evade the Peach Blossom Sect's investigation?"

Lanxi clenched her fingers even tighter, biting her thin lips until they bled: "But this is the best solution I can think of."

Thank you for the monthly pass, everyone! Hehe, thank you for the recommendation vote! ('')*
