When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

At the gate of the Lin residence, Nalan Qinghan cautiously asked the guards, "Gentlemen, I'm looking for Lin Xuan. Is he here?"

The two guards said, "Young Master went to the capital yesterday."

"The capital city isn't far from Qingzhou City. He went to the capital yesterday and should be back by early morning," Nalan Qinghan said.

The guard said, "Young Master must have other matters to attend to."

Nalan Qinghan sighed and turned to leave, just as he saw the Lin family's carriage approaching.

Seeing this, Nalan Qinghan's face lit up with joy. She jogged over and asked, "Lin Xuan, are you inside?"

The carriage stopped, and Lin Xuan lifted the curtain, seeing Nalan Qinghan. He looked puzzled and asked, "What is it?"

"Um... is it convenient for us to go inside and talk?" Nalan Qinghan asked cautiously.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "That works too."

After the carriage stopped, Lin Xuan got off and entered the Lin residence with Nalan Qinghan.

After the two sat down, Liu Yao diligently poured tea for Lin Xuan and Nalan Qinghan. However, Liu Yao's eyes were full of wariness when she looked at Nalan Qinghan, as if she was afraid that she would steal Lin Xuan away.

"Lin Xuan, the reason I came here is actually to talk to you about Xi Yue," Nalan Qinghan said gently.

Lin Xuan frowned and said, "What, do you want me to forgive her?"

Nalan Qinghan said, "After all, you two are already married, although it's a marriage of convenience, in name only..."

"A marriage of convenience, and she can assassinate me?" Lin Xuan interrupted Nalan Qinghan, questioning her coldly.

Nalan Qinghan was stunned. "What? Xi Yue tried to assassinate you?"

"What, she didn't tell you?" Lin Xuan sneered.

Nalan Qinghan slowly shook her head and said, "No..."

Lin Xuan asked, "So now, are you still going to talk to me about her?"

Nalan Qinghan lowered his head and remained silent.

Liu Yao said somewhat angrily, "Our master is so good to us, yet she is ungrateful and instead tried to assassinate him. If we hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid our master would have..."

Nalan Qinghan glanced at Liu Yao and was quite surprised.

With such a graceful figure and captivating beauty, it's truly incomprehensible that she would willingly serve as a slave in the Lin household.

With her slender waist and beautiful appearance, she could even become a concubine or even the principal wife in the homes of some high-ranking officials and nobles.

Even Nalan Qinghan felt somewhat inferior in front of Liu Yao.

"Go back and tell Yun Xiyue that unless she kneels all the way back from the Nalan family, she can forget about ever stepping foot into the Lin family again!" Lin Xuan said coldly.

Hearing Lin Xuan say this, Nalan Qinghan felt a secret joy in her heart.

Because she knew that, given Yun Xiyue's personality, she would never kneel before Lin Xuan, let alone kneel all the way from the Nalan family back to the Lin family mansion.

The more Yun Xiyue and Lin Xuan fight, the greater their chances of getting together.

"Alright, I'll go back and tell Xiyue." Nalan Qinghan stood up, gave Lin Xuan a curtsy, and said, "Farewell."

"Liu Yao, see the guest out," Lin Xuan ordered.

Liu Yao escorted Nalan Qinghan out of the Lin residence.

After they all left, Lin Xuan sat down with a solemn expression and began to ponder the Minghun Sect.

After the failed ambush last time, Lin Xuan learned that Yun Cheng's trump card was the Minghun Sect.

Moreover, Yun Cheng and Lin Xuan are now mortal enemies, and a battle between them is inevitable in the future.

Therefore, Lin Xuan had to find a way to deal with the Minghun Sect.

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

However, Lin Xuan knew nothing about the Minghun Sect, and in his previous life, he had never even heard of it.

However, Lin Xuan quickly came up with a solution, because he remembered that Long Die had mentioned the Minghun Sect, so Long Die must know something about the Minghun Sect.

"I've just gathered all the pills that the Dragon Butterfly needs, so I'll take them with me." Lin Xuan stood up.

Just then, a bird-like demon landed on the windowsill and said, "Lin Xuan, our king sent me to remind you not to forget your agreement."

Lin Xuan said, "I can't forget her. I'm going to Fenghuo Forest to find her. You can go back and tell her."

The bird-like monsters flapped their wings and flew away.

Lin Xuan then had Uncle An arrange a carriage to travel to Fenghuo Forest.

Upon arriving at the Beacon Forest, Lin Xuan, familiar with the area, quickly found the Dragon Butterfly's cave.

At Lin Xuan's call, Long Die came out with a displeased expression.

Her figure was still so beautiful, full of wild sexiness. Sweat and layers of water film flowed down her almost perfect skin lines, making Longdie's figure even more charming.

Her golden eyes gleamed with discontent, and the fangs at the corners of her mouth betrayed her displeasure.

A gust of wind blew, and a few strands of red hair floated in her jet-black, glossy hair, making her look particularly alluring.

"I thought you were going to break the contract," Dragon Butterfly said unhappily.

Lin Xuan said, "How could that be? I've just been too busy."

"Heh, busy man, huh? I borrowed so many high-grade Imperial Crystals from you, how are you planning to pay me back?" Dragon Butterfly asked.

Lin Xuan gave an awkward smile and said, "Well... I'll definitely return something of value."

"Did you bring anything of value?" Dragon Butterfly asked.

"Of course, Blood Coagulation Powder, Heavenly Lotus Snow Soul Pill, Spirit Restoration Pill, I've gathered everything you need." Lin Xuan took out the pills one by one and handed them to Long Die.

Long Die took the medicine bottle, staring at the pills inside repeatedly, and asked, "Is it poisonous?"

"You're still afraid of poison?" Lin Xuan said, both amused and exasperated.

Given the Dragon Butterfly race's self-healing abilities, would poison be effective?

Dragon Butterfly said, "In the past, I certainly wouldn't have been afraid, but I'm not the same person I used to be."

"Don't worry, it won't be poisonous. Besides, poisoning you won't do me any good; it would only put me in a worse situation," Lin Xuan said.

Dragon Butterfly snorted and said, "I knew you wouldn't dare."

He immediately swallowed the pills one by one and sat down to refine them.

"Protect me," Dragon Butterfly said.

"She really knows how to order people around..." Lin Xuan muttered, then sat down next to Long Die.

Out of sheer boredom, Lin Xuan asked, "How much do you know about the Minghun Sect?"

With her eyes closed, Long Die refined the pills, and replied perfunctorily, "Not many."

"How much is 'not much'?" Lin Xuan asked again.

Dragon Butterfly, her eyes still closed, asked, "What do you want to know?"

Lin Xuan said, "I want to know how I should retaliate if the people of the Minghun Sect try to assassinate me."

"After all, I know nothing about the Minghun Sect, except that they like to whip people's spines."

Long Die sighed and said, "The cultivation method of the Minghun Sect is rather strange, and their attacks can not only injure the body, but also the soul."

After hearing this, Lin Xuan said, "So, they are both martial arts cultivators and soul cultivators?"

"That's one way to understand it, but they are martial arts practitioners' attack methods, yet they cannot be defeated by martial arts practitioners," Long Die added.

This puzzled Lin Xuan somewhat.

The martial arts cultivator's attack methods can inflict damage on the soul cultivator, and they are even unable to be defeated by the soul cultivator.

"So, are they martial arts cultivators or soul cultivators?" Lin Xuan asked.
