After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Su Mingyue's injuries have healed.

Zhao Qing then said to Lei Ziyue, "Second Senior Brother, let me treat you too."

Doctors have a compassionate heart; since we're already here, we can't ignore Lei Ziyue's injuries.

"However, Mingyue is weak, and it won't be easy for her to survive on this Cliff of Repentance. I'll heal you. As a body cultivator, it's better for the gale to hit you than for Mingyue. From now on, Second Senior Brother, you must protect Mingyue well, understand?"

Lei Ziyue was initially quite touched.

The third brother, as expected of a medical cultivator, remained as kind as ever.

However, upon hearing these words, he felt nauseous and uncomfortable, as if he had swallowed a thousand flies. So, he only agreed to treat him so that he could protect Su Mingyue?

"I don't want your treatment anymore."

After Lei Ziyue finished speaking, he pulled his arm back from Zhao Qing's hand.

Zhao Qing looked helpless. "Second Senior Brother, stop being unreasonable."

Lei Ziyue scoffed coldly, "I'm not being unreasonable. I won't protect her."

Su Mingyue was furious at Lei Ziyue's heartlessness. With red eyes, she leaned against Zhao Qing's chest and tried to mediate: "Third Senior Brother, no, don't force Second Senior Brother. I don't want you to quarrel with Second Senior Brother because of me..."

Zhao Qing felt extremely sorry for her and hugged her, coaxing, "Silly girl, you're already like this, and you're still thinking about others..."

Lei Ziyue looked at the two of them and couldn't help but speak sarcastically: "Mingyue, since you and your second junior brother are not a Daoist couple, I think it's best if you two don't get so close, lest others misunderstand."

Su Mingyue's eyes flickered with panic for a moment.

That damn Lei Ziyue, fine, he won't help her then.

Now they're even trying to sow discord between her and Zhao Qing.

She cultivated intimate behavior from a young age so that they would unconditionally protect and pamper her as if she were a Daoist couple.

We absolutely cannot let Lei Ziyue expose us and ruin everything.

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue quickly put on an innocent expression, her eyes red as she forced a smile, and said, "Second Senior Brother, have you misunderstood something? I only rely on Third Senior Brother as an older brother, I didn't think anything else. Why are you saying this to me..."

Upon hearing her words, Zhao Qing's face darkened. "Second Senior Brother, Mingyue is injured like this, and not only do you refuse to protect her, but now you're using these absurd arguments to accuse her? Mingyue and I have a completely innocent relationship; we've been like this since childhood. Your thoughts are utterly despicable!"

Su Mingyue tugged at Zhao Qing's sleeve, "Third Senior Brother, don't be angry. Second Senior Brother is right... I shouldn't have always relied on you and let others gossip."

Tears streamed down her long eyelashes, and her eyes and nose were red from crying; she looked extremely pitiful.

Zhao Qing quickly lowered his head to coax her: "I'm your senior brother, who else can you rely on if not me? If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of other people's gossip. Didn't your second senior brother treat you the same way before? I think he's just jealous. As your senior brother, he has no compassion at all, and instead he's being sarcastic."

Lei Ziyue laughed angrily: "Fine, fine, fine, I'm despicable, I'm jealous, I kindly reminded you to avoid suspicion, and you say I have no compassion? Whatever!"

I'll remind Zhao Qing again later that he doesn't even have the surname Lei.

Lei Ziyue sneered and flicked his sleeve, walking to a spot far away from the two of them and closing his eyes to meditate—out of sight, out of mind!

Zhao Qing didn't want to pay any attention to Lei Ziyue either.

He opened his arms and shielded Su Mingyue in his embrace, using his body and wide sleeves to protect her from the fierce wind. With a look of heartache, he whispered, "Mingyue, don't be afraid. Your senior brother comes to see you every day."

Su Mingyue bit her lip, her eyes filled with gloom.

Who wants him to come every day?

She wants to leave, she wants to leave the Cliff of Contemplation!

This place is no place for a human to live.

She missed her warm and bright cave, filled with jewels, fragrant silks, and precious stones.

Moreover, the sect has already begun preparations for the sect competition in half a month. If she continues to be punished at the Cliff of Repentance, she will not be able to participate in the sect competition.

Su Mingyue gripped Zhao Qing's hand, tears streaming down her face. "Third Senior Brother, I don't want to be punished. I want to go home. The wind here is so gloomy and scary, Mingyue is so frightened..."

Su Mingyue cried her heart out, and Zhao Qing, who was already soft-hearted, was heartbroken.

He gently patted Su Mingyue's back and said softly, "Mingyue, don't cry. Senior brother will help you, senior brother will help you leave the Cliff of Contemplation!"

Since this matter was caused by Luo Huanzhen.

Then he should go find Luo Huanzhen, clarify things, and clear up the misunderstanding between the two, so that Mingyue can leave Siguo Cliff ahead of time.

Su Mingyue bit her lip and nodded.

Zhao Qing then held Su Mingyue in his arms, shielding her from the strong winds for quite some time, until it grew dark before reluctantly leaving.

……

Zhiyun Peak.

Yun Yao accompanied Luo Huanzhen to clean the house and restore it to its original state.

Under Luo Zhenhuan's strong condemnation, he began to arrest the "thief".

Zhiyun Peak is where Yun Yao lives.

Yun Yao has always cultivated far from human habitation and is not used to being served by servants. In order to keep track of the situation at Zhiyun Peak, he placed some memory stones in various places on Zhiyun Peak.

The other photo stones remained silent, except for the ones along the mountain path, which recorded the arrival of the visitors.

First, Zhao Qing and Lei Ziyue went up the mountain together, then Gong Lian came, and finally Lin Yichen.

The three of them came up looking like they were there to interrogate each other, but when they came down the mountain, they were all dejected and looked very embarrassed and awkward.

Yun Yao felt that she might understand what was going on.

It seems that even leaving small wooden signs as a warning did not stop some disciples who wanted to deliberately cause trouble from coming here.

They deserved it.

Luo Huanzhen sat at the stone table, his hands supporting his chin, his clear black and white eyes filled with curiosity.

"Master, have you recorded the thief?"

Yun Yao looked up at the instigator's obedient and adorable appearance, coughed, and pushed the memory stone in front of him towards Luo Huanzhen.

"Take a look for yourself!"

Luo Huanzhen took the recording stone with a suspicious look and held it up to examine it closely.

Upon seeing the scene within the recording stone, Luo Huanzhen's eyes filled with shock and anger: "The thieves were them! How despicable! These former senior brothers must be jealous of how well Master treats me, so they deliberately came to destroy my beautiful house!"

Luo Huanzhen rolled up his sleeves, ready to climb down the stone bench and settle accounts with them.

But before his feet even touched the ground, Yun Yao grabbed him by the back of his collar and put him back on the stone bench.

"Cough cough...it shouldn't be their problem..."

Luo was truly puzzled.

Yun Yao covered her mouth and gave a very vague explanation about Xiao Zhenzhen's sleepwalking and hitting people. Luo Zhenzhen's shocked expression became even more pronounced.

"I am a very obedient person. How could I possibly sleepwalk and hit someone?!"

Luo really couldn't accept this fact, and sat sullenly on the stone bench, fuming.

Yun Yao gently rubbed her head. "It's okay. Even though Zhenzhen hit people in her dream, she's still a very well-behaved and adorable child."

Ok.

The feel is indeed much better.

Looking at the chubby little dumpling, Yun Yao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "He really knows how to raise a child."
