Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

He approached Liu Qinghe and bowed slightly.

He bowed solemnly and said sincerely, "Fairy Liu, it is thanks to you and Young Master Lin that the Xu family has escaped a calamity. The Xu family will forever remember the kindness of Qingyu Sect. On behalf of the Xu family, I warmly welcome Fairy Liu."

Xu Chongfeng's voice was full of respect.

He knew that if Lin An and Liu Qinghe hadn't arrived in time, the Xu family would have been annihilated today.

Liu Qinghe quickly returned the greeting, a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Elder Xu, you are too kind. This is all thanks to Young Master Lin. I only did my bit. It is an honor for our Qingyu Sect to get to know Young Master Lin."

Liu Qinghe spoke humbly and politely, expressing her deep admiration for Lin An's abilities and character.

In her heart, Lin An was already a close friend who fought alongside her.

The crowd gathered together, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Xu Shan stood aside, looking at the scene before him, feeling a burning sensation on his face.

It felt as if I had been slapped several times in public.

He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the crowd.

He knew perfectly well that he, as a member of the Xu family, had colluded with the Zhan family.

Attempting to frame Lin An has resulted in this disgraceful end.

At this moment, several pairs of eyes occasionally drifted from the surroundings.

Though she said nothing, her words pierced him like needles.

Those gazes contained disdain, disappointment, and even a hint of schadenfreude.

Xu Shan clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

It left behind crescent-shaped streaks of blood.

His breathing became rapid and heavy, and the anger in his chest surged like a raging tide, wave after wave.

He cursed inwardly.

If it weren't for Lin An, how could I have ended up in such a miserable state?

The glory days in the Xu family are gone; now all that remains is a heart full of humiliation and resentment.

Xu Shan glared fiercely at Lin An, who was talking to the group, his eyes almost overflowing with resentment.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and hurriedly left the Xu family.

His back was slightly hunched, and his former high spirits had long since vanished, leaving only a heart full of anger and hatred.

Walking down the quiet street, Lin An's image kept appearing in Xu Shan's mind.

The figure, like a ghost, clung tightly to him, making it impossible for him to let go.

He had only one thought in his mind: to take revenge on Lin An.

They will repay everything they have suffered, tenfold.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. He remembered a master he knew.

That master had demonstrated extraordinary strength before him; if he could persuade him to come out of seclusion, he would surely be able to deal with Lin An.

Xu Shan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a ferocious smile, as if he could already see Lin An lying at his feet.

He quickened his pace and hurried toward the residence of the master.

She was pondering how to persuade him and how to devise a plan to deal with Lin An.

……

Night falls.

The Xu family's courtyard, however, was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

The spacious courtyard was filled with tables laden with sumptuous dishes.

The aroma of wine filled the air, and laughter echoed in every corner.

The Xu family members sat together, raising their glasses to celebrate the resolution of the crisis.

Xu Chongfeng stood in the center of the courtyard, a joyful smile on his face.

He raised his wine glass and said in a loud voice, "Today, our Xu family was able to escape danger entirely thanks to the help of Young Master Lin and Fairy Liu. Let us all raise a toast to them!"

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.

They cast grateful and admiring glances at Lin An and Liu Qinghe.

Lin An and Liu Qinghe stood up and smiled in response to everyone's respect.

Lin An looked around at the lively scene and was filled with emotion.

Looking back on all the experiences during this period.

From his acquaintance with the Xu family to his conflict with the Zhan family, and now to fighting against demons alongside Liu Qinghe and others, every experience has been unforgettable.

Liu Qinghe looked at the heartwarming scene before her.

He couldn't help but recall the days when he fought alongside Lin An in Canglong Mountain, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

The banquet continued amidst the laughter and cheers of the crowd.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious food while sharing their stories.

Xu Qingyan sat quietly beside Lin An, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Seeing Lin An getting along well with everyone filled me with joy.

……

The next morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds.

They fluttered down in the Xu family's courtyard.

It bathed the entire courtyard in a golden glow.

Liu Qinghe and the disciples of Qingyu Sect had already packed their belongings and stood neatly in the courtyard, ready to embark on their journey back to the mountain.

Liu Qinghe was dressed in a white robe, her clothes fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth.

A faint smile graced her face, but a hint of reluctance lingered in her eyes.

She slowly walked up to Lin An.

He bowed slightly, performing a solemn Qingyu Sect disciple's salute, and then said softly, "Young Master Lin, without your help on this trip to Canglong Mountain, our Qingyu Sect would have been unable to complete the important task of exorcising the demon. You have truly rendered a great service to our Qingyu Sect, and we will forever remember this kindness."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain spring, sounding especially pleasant in the quiet morning.

Lin An quickly returned the greeting, a humble smile on his face: "Fairy Liu, you flatter me. This is all thanks to everyone. It is my honor to fight alongside the members of Qingyu Sect."

His eyes were filled with sincerity as he recalled the moments he shared with Liu Qinghe and the others on Canglong Mountain, his heart brimming with emotion.

Liu Qinghe nodded slightly, her eyes shining with determination: "Young Master Lin, if you ever come to Qingyu Sect in the future, we will treat you with the utmost courtesy. No matter when, the doors of Qingyu Sect will always be open for you."

Her words were full of sincerity. Qingyu Sect has always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and they would never forget Lin An's help.

A warm feeling welled up in Lin An's heart. He looked at Liu Qinghe gratefully and said, "Thank you, Fairy Liu. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit you."

He was well aware of the status of Qingyu Sect in the cultivation world.

Liu Qinghe's words undoubtedly conveyed a precious sentiment to him.

Then, Liu Qinghe turned to the disciples of Qingyu Sect and said, "Let's go."

The disciples responded in unison and prepared to depart.

As Lin An watched them depart, he called out loudly, "Until we meet again!"

His voice was full of anticipation.

Liu Qinghe and the others stopped and turned to look at Lin An, responding in unison, "Until we meet again!"

Then, their figures gradually disappeared into the golden sunlight.

Lin An was left standing in the courtyard, gazing in the direction they had left, motionless for a long time.

This encounter, though brief, left a deep impression on each other's hearts.

And they both look forward to their next reunion.
