Fantasy: I'm in a discarded alchemy room, but I can turn trash into treasure!

The footsteps outside the door stopped at the steps.

Qin Mo raised his hand to hold down the three women, and transmitted his voice into their ears.

"Fang Aoyun, the masked alchemist, and the events in the water dungeon—all of it remains a secret."

Hua Meiniang covered her shoulder and nodded gently.

Cang Wuyue sheathed her soft sword and retreated to the wall.

Leng Qingqiu held her sword without moving.

She stared at Qin Mo, her face full of suspicion.

The door made two more noises.

Shen Ruoyan frowned and said, "Open the door. I'll count to three."

Qin Mo removed the soundproofing barrier and opened the door.

Shen Ruoyan stepped in.

Upon seeing the three women inside, she stopped in her tracks.

A holy woman of the Netherworld Cult.

A young master of the Azure Dragon Sect.

There is also the Holy Maiden of the Sword Pavilion.

The three of them squeezed into Qin Mo's room in the middle of the night, with all the doors and windows closed.

Hua Meiniang's dress was stained with blood, yet Cang Wuyue still called him "master."

Shen Ruoyan turned her head and stared at Qin Mo.

"You're quite busy tonight."

Qin Mo spread his hands and said, "They climbed in through the window themselves; I didn't even have time to pour them tea."

Shen Ruoyan lowered her eyebrows even further.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Qin Mo glanced at the two windows.

The window latch still had fresh scratches, which was not hard to prove.

The problem lies in the identities of the three women; each one is more problematic than the last.

Hua Meiniang coughed twice, and blood dripped down the back of her hand.

Shen Ruoyan saw the token at her waist and immediately drew her short blade.

"People from the Netherworld Sect dare to enter the Moon-Gazing Pavilion?"

Hua Meiniang leaned against the corner of the table and said, "I came to see my master, and I have no intention of touching anyone from Yunyu Palace."

Hearing the word "master" made Shen Ruoyan's face tighten.

She turned the short blade towards Cang Wuyue.

"And what's wrong with her?"

Cang Wuyue straightened her back and said, "I have already sworn a soul oath to my master, and I have nothing to do with the Canglong Sect anymore."

Shen Ruoyan paused, her hand gripping the knife still.

Half an hour ago, Cang Wuji left with Zhao Gang.

Now that the young master of the Azure Dragon Sect is hiding in Qin Mo's room, he still calls him that so naturally.

She looked at Qin Mo again, and her eyes had changed.

"Just how much have you been doing outside?"

Qin Mo cleared his throat and said, "Let's discuss this issue when the Supreme Elder arrives."

Footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

Gu Yingxue pushed open the door and entered the room, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the three women one by one.

She didn't rush to ask Qin Mo; instead, she raised her hand to seal off the west courtyard, even covering the roof with an array.

When Hua Meiniang saw the pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivator, she pressed her back against the edge of the table.

Cang Wuyue placed her hands in front of her to indicate that she would not make a move.

Leng Qingqiu then sheathed her sword.

She came here to investigate Fang Aoyun's disappearance; there was no need for her to get involved in two separate feuds.

Gu Yingxue took out the sect leader's token and poured her true essence into it.

The token rose into the air, and Bai Chenshuang's spirit image landed inside the room.

When she saw Cang Wuyue, her face immediately darkened.

"Young Master of the Azure Dragon Sect, what are you trying to do by sneaking in here?"

Cang Wuyue knelt on one knee.

"I want revenge, and I'm willing to do anything for Qin Mo."

Bai Chenshuang did not respond.

Lingying raised her palm, and a beam of light shone across Cang Wuyue's entire body, finally stopping at her divine aperture.

The mark of the soul oath cannot be hidden.

Cang Wuyue's life is indeed in Qin Mo's hands.

Bai Chenshuang looked at Qin Mo.

This disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining went out and brought back the young master of the Azure Dragon Sect, and even took him in as a servant.

If he keeps causing trouble, the entire Eastern Continent will be thrown into chaos.

"Cang Wuyue wants to use the power of Yunyu Palace to fight her way back to Canglong Sect."

Bai Chenshuang stared at her and said, "I can spare your life, but I will not avenge your personal grudges."

Cang Wuyue lowered her head.

"I'll fight my way back myself."

Bai Chenshuang remained silent for a moment, then ordered Gu Yingxue to issue a temporary guest minister order.

Gu Yingxue was slightly taken aback, then nodded, took out a blank token from her sleeve, and with the flow of spiritual power at her fingertips, engraved the Xuan Tian Sect's mark and the time limit on the token's surface.

The token emitted a faint silver light and was then handed over.

Cang Wuyue took the token with both hands, her fingertips rubbing against the cool surface of the token, and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

With this token, she was no longer a rootless duckweed in Xuantian City; at least for the time being, she would have a place to stay.

Hua Meiniang was also helped to walk to the Lingying.

Her injuries were more severe than Cang Wuyue's.

Although his dantian had been repaired before, its foundation was not yet stable. This time, he was hit head-on by the secret technique of the Netherworld Sect. A large amount of cold and yin energy accumulated in several major meridians, and the flow of qi and blood almost stopped. His face was as pale as paper, and his lips were completely bloodless.

If it weren't for the forbidden curse that Qin Mo planted back then, which still lingered in her divine aperture, sealing her sea of ​​consciousness in an almost tyrannical way, her soul would have already dissipated in the series of fierce battles and wouldn't have been able to survive until Xuan Tian City.

Bai Chenshuang lowered her eyes, taking in Hua Meiniang's injuries without showing any change in expression.

She slowly raised her hand, joined two fingers together, and condensed her spiritual energy into two thin, thread-like tracking marks.

"If you dare to injure anyone in the city, Gu Yingxue will personally arrest you."

Hua Meiniang wiped the blood from her mouth and said, "I only beg my master to save my life."

Shen Ruoyan's eyelids twitched as she listened.

This enchantress kept calling him "master," even more familiarly than Cang Wuyue.

Qin Mo sat beside him, offering no explanation whatsoever.

Leng Qingqiu was also asked by Gu Yingxue why she came.

She took out the Fang family's warrant for investigation and the cloth she had found in the water dungeon.

The clues led her all the way to Xuantian City, and that's how she ended up at Lanyue Pavilion.

Qin Mo stared at the piece of cloth, a tightness creeping down his neck.

It was the same fabric he wore when he impersonated Fang Aoyun.

"Fang Aoyun's disappearance has nothing to do with me."

He spoke frankly, without revealing any flaws on his face.

Leng Qingqiu stared at him for a moment.

"I will continue to investigate."

Gu Yingxue didn't want them to squeeze into Qin Mo's house anymore, so she immediately vacated three guest rooms in the backyard.

The three women lived separately, and two layers of security were added outside the courtyard.

Even after the matter was resolved, Shen Ruoyan did not leave.

She stood in the doorway, her gaze falling on the messy bed.

Will anyone break through the window tonight?

Qin Mo straightened the teapot on the table and asked, "Senior Sister, are you going to stay and guard the gate?"

Shen Ruoyan snorted coldly, turned around and left the west courtyard.

After much commotion late into the night, Lan Yue Pavilion finally quieted down.

As soon as Qin Mo sat down, the tracking seal emitted a fluctuation.

Hua Meiniang left the backyard and walked into the west courtyard, leaning against the wall.

The wound on her shoulder started bleeding again, and she could no longer stand steadily.

Qin Mo caught her and placed his palm on her wrist.

When the true essence penetrated the meridians, several hidden injuries immediately reacted.

The blood-transforming energy left in her body by the Netherworld Sect has not yet been completely cleared away.

What's more troublesome is that the forbidden spell within the divine aperture is repelling that power.

The two continued to clash, and Hua Meiniang wouldn't survive the night.

"Master, I can still hold on."

Hua Meiniang grabbed his sleeve, her breath coming in ragged gasps.

Qin Mo closed the door.

"Don't be reckless, go inside."

Hua Meiniang looked up at him, her face regaining some color.

"How does the master want to save us?"

Qin Mo pulled her into the inner room.

"Your clothes are in the way, take off your outer robe first."

Hua Meiniang paused for a moment, then followed him inside.

Outside the west corridor, Su Qingyi was holding the healing pills that Gu Yingxue had given her.

She intended to deliver it, but stopped at the door.

Inside the half-open window, Hua Meiniang leaned against Qin Mo.

The blood-stained black robe fell to the ground, and the door closed immediately.

The lamplight shone on the paper window, and two figures entered the inner room.

Su Qingyi squeezed the medicine bottle tightly, and a cracking sound came from the bottle.

Hua Meiniang's hushed voice came from inside the room again.

"Master, be gentle."

Su Qingyi turned and left, crushing the healing pill into powder.
