After hearing this, the sadness in Shen Shuanglian's eyes faded away slightly, and her eyes became clear.

"This matter... should be the choice of the sect leader and elders."

"Maybe my master is also involved in this." When saying this, Shen Shuanglian looked indescribably lonely.

"He is the sect leader, so he is naturally aware of such a major event."

Chen Yin rubbed her hair and said, "Just wait here tomorrow. I will personally ask him for an explanation."

"Can I, can I come with you?"

"No."

"Why?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Shen Shuanglian's eyes.

"Because if you were there to plead for your master, I'm afraid I would hesitate," he said calmly.

Shen Shuanglian pursed her lips and whispered, "I won't... I just want to hear the truth from Master in person."

"What if the truth is something you can't accept?"

Her expression became more and more painful.

Chen Yin certainly knew her inner struggle and entanglement, so he just patted her head silently and said calmly:

"It's ok."

"Just this once. You can choose to escape."

"Stay on Yushan Mountain and pretend you know nothing. Just wait for me to come back."

"It doesn't matter even if you hate and blame me afterwards."

Shen Shuanglian's eyes were blank and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"…If I really escape."

With red eyes, she whispered, "Will you feel disappointed?"

Chen Yin chuckled.

"of course not."

"You don't have to be such a strong person. Because in my eyes, you are still the little girl who would squat in the flower bed and cry."

"If you want to cry, cry on my shoulder. If you want to hide, hide behind me. I am used to do these things." He said softly.

Shen Shuanglian seemed to be touched. She lowered her eyelids slightly, and nodded slowly after a long time.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Only then did Chen Yin gently kiss her on the forehead.

"Go to bed early. Take a good look at the scenery of Yushan tomorrow."

"Come back soon." she whispered.

"Ah."

-

When Yu Xiang opened her eyes, there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

Finally, I didn't have any more nightmares.

But she missed her parents.

The hand still had a reassuring warmth. She turned her head and saw Chen Yin sitting beside the bed, holding her hand and whispering, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm..." Xiang'er nodded timidly.

"Then wash up and get ready to go."

Yu Xiang slowly stood up, her messy hair and slightly red eyes made her look particularly haggard.

“Brother…are you really going to the main sect of Wuling Sect?”

"Do you think I was joking with you yesterday?" Chen Yin asked back.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator. Whether it's Xiang'er's matter or Master's matter, they will have to give an explanation in the end."

He looked off into the distance silently: "If they can't give us an explanation, we'll go and get it ourselves."

Yu Xiang stared blankly at Chen Yin's profile. After a long time, she rubbed her sore nose and stared at his eyes with tears in her eyes.

"Brother. Thank you."

"You haven't asked me for anything yet." He lowered his head and his eyes softened.

Xiang'er also pursed her lips and smiled softly. There was the sound of the misty flowers blooming quietly.

"Brother, my master and I were bullied."

"Will you avenge us?"

Chen Yin also chuckled and closed his eyes: "I will not let them go if they dare to bully my family."

"Let's go. To Wuling Sect."

Inside the Wuling Sect, in the underground secret room of the main hall.

The head of the sect, Wu Xun, was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. His old and cloudy eyes stared at the six or seven people in black who were also sitting cross-legged in front of him, and his expression was a little solemn.

"……How about it?"

"It's barely half recovered." One of them slowly took off his mask. It was Elder Chang Wen from the Scripture Hall.

"I was already injured and now I've been hurt like this by Yu Ling, which is even worse. I'm afraid it will take at least ten days or half a month for me to even use my internal energy."

The man with the sullen voice was also a familiar face when he took off his mask. He was Elder Mo Jie from the Fairy Conference that day.

"Although I guessed that Yu Ling would be difficult to deal with, I didn't expect it to be this difficult." Another man in black sighed secretly, his voice was a bit sinister, "We wasted the Immortal Summoning Pot. Even with the combined strength of the seven of us in the Taiqing realm, we still ended up with losses on both sides."

"The number one person below the True Immortal, truly terrifying."

Sect leader Wu Xun was silent for a long time before he slowly sighed.

"...After all, we underestimated her."

"Then Sect Master, what should we do?" Elder Chang Wen said with a hint of worry. "Fairy Yu Ling has a special identity. We have tried our best but still failed to get rid of her. If the fact that we attacked her is exposed, the consequences may be far more dangerous than the exposure of the Changli Palace incident."

“It’s hard to say. My Wuling Sect will really be in a situation where we are enemies everywhere.”

The old man Wuxun's brows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking seriously.

"...Where's Qingying? I asked her to follow Shen Shuanglian before, why haven't we heard from her since then?"

"I don't know." Mo Jie shook his head slowly. "If everything went well, Qingying should have killed Yu Ling's eldest disciple and returned to the mountain to report."

"There is no news at the moment... Most likely it is a grave situation."

At this moment, Wu Xun sighed tiredly.

"One misstep can lead to eternal regret. The incident at Changli Palace was truly a complete loss."

…We failed to find the Heavenly Dao Crumbs, and somehow we missed a person alive.

One lie needs to be piled up with countless lies. Once this gap is not filled, the situation will collapse.

In the end, it was greed that harmed him.

In the secret room, everyone fell silent.

The man in black with the sinister voice said slowly: "Since the relationship has been torn apart, it is better to strike first."

"Yu Ling's injuries are also serious. We can just go to Yushan in the name of clearing out the remnants of the evil ways of Changli Palace and kill them all to eliminate the two troublesome people."

"Even if it's not good to discredit Yu Ling, her two disciples only need to create a little momentum to surround them with rumors and make them have no place in this world of immortal cultivation."

"Not appropriate." Elder Chang Wen shook his head.

"If she can't resolve the issue of Immortal Yu Ling, then with her connections, any rumors she spreads will just be the work of a clown."

"Then what do you say we should do?" the sinister old man asked angrily.

"Right now, we are still unsure whether the Heavenly Dao Dust has been taken by Immortal Yu Ling."

Chang Wen pondered, "Shangxian Yu Ling took in the orphan of Changli Palace for so many years, but she didn't let her come forward to identify us. She must have had some considerations."

"Since we can't get rid of Immortal Yu Ling, we might as well seek peace, spend some money to calm her anger, and then make her restrain her own disciples from delving into the matter of Changli Palace."

"Since the orphan of Changli Palace has not come forward in the past ten years, it is not certain that she will insist on revenge in the future. We might as well find her to settle the matter peacefully, make up an excuse to explain the tragedy of Changli Palace, and put all the blame on the demons."

After hearing this, the sinister old man sneered disdainfully: "Oh, do you think Yu Ling is such an easy person to fool?"

"Now that we've fallen out, she will definitely not show any mercy!"

"But we were wrong in the end." Chang Wen also frowned and said, "Before you went to Yushan to cause trouble for Immortal Yu Ling, I tried to stop you in every way, but you insisted on having your own opinion!"

"you!"

Listening to the two people arguing, Wu Xun finally shouted: "Enough."

"No matter how much we argue right now, it won't solve the crisis we face."

He thought it over again and again before he said softly, "We were reckless in the matter of Yu Ling. If we continue to argue, we will only get deeper and deeper into trouble. The best solution for this matter is to reconcile."

"As for Yu Ling, I will personally take the blame and apologize. No matter how much it costs, I will make sure that his anger subsides."

"How can you be sure that Yu Ling will buy into this?" Mo Jie frowned and asked, "What if she insists on fighting to the death with us?"

"She won't."

There was a flickering look in Wuxun Lao's dark eyes.

"The vision of Immortal Yu Ling...is not so shallow as to focus on people like us."

"She has more important things to do."

"If she was willing to fight us to the death, she would not have agreed to be a guest elder of Wuling Sect in the first place."

"As for the orphan of Changli Palace, we will do as Changwen said. We will put the blame on the Demonic Path, and then-"

Before Wu Xun finished speaking, Chang Wen's expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no! People from Yushan are causing trouble at the mountain gate!"

Everyone present was horrified. Wu Xun asked hurriedly, "How is it possible? No matter how miraculous Yu Ling is, it is impossible for her injuries to heal in just one or two days—"

"The Immortal Yu Ling did not come."

Chang Wen's expression gradually became a little strange again.

"The ones who came are... her two disciples."

"Yu Xiang and Chen Yin."

81. If you don’t want to stand, then kneel down

The main gate of the Wuling Sect is on top of a huge mountain.

It was a mountain top surrounded by fairy air, with green pines and cypresses everywhere. At the end of the white marble steps, there stood a huge mountain gate, on which were written the three big characters "Wuling Sect" in a chic and ethereal handwriting.

In the past, even on weekends, the Wu Ling Sect was still bustling with people coming and going, and from time to time there were monks on flying instruments passing by, making it very lively.

But today, there were only two people standing in front of the mountain gate.

"This place hasn't changed at all." Chen Yin looked at everything around the mountain gate and said with emotion.

"Brother, have you been to the main sect before?"

“…I guess I’ve been here before.”

Chen Yin answered casually and continued to stare at everything in front of the mountain gate in a trance.

Once upon a time, he was just a small disciple of the Wuling Sect.

His passion for cultivation was exhausted by the heavy and meaningless tasks all day long, and he was finally successfully raised by the main sect and became a member of the crowd.

In order to go home, they all need to desperately accept missions, and there is not a single moment of their own in the entire five years.

Now, standing in front of the mountain gate again, Chen Yin suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Xiang'er tilted her head slightly to look at him: "What are you thinking about, brother?"

"nothing."

Chen Yin chuckled and shook his head: "I wonder if the disciple just now went to inform us of our arrival."
