Qi Yu held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say, "...Well done!"

Fei Qingmu sighed, "It was good that he killed her, but it also caused trouble for the Feixing Sect. If he had covered it up a little, how could this later incident have come to light? In order to cover up the truth, the Yunyang Sect Master killed the female cultivator first and destroyed the body. The world only knows that Xiuzhu is arrogant and domineering and kills innocent people indiscriminately. How could they know that an innocent life was involved behind the scenes?"

"Xiuzhu was stubborn and didn't want anyone to know that his older sister had been humiliated. He stubbornly refused to tell anyone, and even Yun Gui was kept in the dark, thinking that he had gone mad from practicing his martial arts. The sect leader's son was Yun Gui's friend, and he didn't know that the man was hypocritical. He was also under pressure from the Yunyang Sect, so he had no choice but to join forces with others to kill Xiuzhu."

Qi Yu's eyelashes fluttered, and she didn't know what to say.

As a child, he suffered all kinds of bullying because of his talent. Only that female cultivator accompanied Zhu Xiuzi. His loved ones were bullied to death. How heartbroken he must have been.

They avenged that man by tearing him to pieces, and then, together with Yun Gui, whom they considered a friend, they executed him...

Fortunately, his work ultimately saved his life.

The fifth floor of the library was quiet for a moment, with only the dim light of the oil lamp flickering.

After a while, a slightly trembling voice rang out.

"Grandmaster, why didn't you tell your disciple..."

Wearing a fox fur coat and with a pale face, Yun Gui approached, looking so weak that she seemed ready to faint at any moment.

Fei Qingmu glanced at him indifferently and said, "What's the use of telling you? Can you protect him?"

Yun Gui, her face pale, stammered, "But, but I won't..."

Fei Qingmu waved his hand and said, "Take it easy. The sect leader of Yunyang Sect has changed. It won't hurt to tell you."

"What?" Yun Gui raised her little face in confusion.

Fei Qingmu turned his gaze to Qi Yu, who was still indignant. His brown pupils, as thick as the trunk of an ancient tree, were fixed on her. He said meaningfully, "The old man once knew a secret technique that could seal a person's soul into something else. And the old man also calculated that Xiuzhu was destined to face this calamity, which he couldn't avoid, so..."

Yun Gui realized something, and his eyes slowly brightened.

Qi Yu's fingers twitched slightly, and she asked curiously, "Grandmaster, so what?"

“So, child, hand him over.” Fei Qingmu handed the teacup to a few rattan canes, stood up from the rattan chair, and walked towards Qi Yu.

Qi Yu couldn't help but take a step back and said, "Grandmaster, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Feng Xiao, who had been silent all along, stepped in front of her and stared at the old man with unfriendly eyes.

Fei Qingmu smiled and said, "The old man once received guidance from a master that three hundred years after the calamity of Xiuzhu, someone would appear to rewrite his destiny. I think it is now."

“Child, Xiuzhu has been inside long enough. Let him see his old friends.”

Yun Gui's hopeful gaze fell on Qi Yu.

A bead of sweat slid down Qi Yu's forehead. She wiped it away, feeling a bit suffocated by the oppressive aura of the three powerful figures.

Seeing this, Feng Xiao made a sweeping motion with his well-defined fingers in front of him, blocking the oppressive aura emanating from Fei Qingmu and Yun Gui.

Qi Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Zhu Xiuzi's entry into the "Chaotic Spirit Body" was not a coincidence, but a plan devised by Fei Qingmu to protect him.

Now that Zhu Xiuzi's injustice has been cleared, these two old friends want to see him, but whether he is willing to see these old friends who, in his view, betrayed him remains to be seen.

Fei Qingmu and Yun Gui were not in a hurry, and just waited quietly, as if they were convinced that Zhu Xiuzi had been hidden away by Qi Yu.

Qi Yu looked at them and decided to explain things to Zhu Xiuzi first.

"Grandmaster, Master, if I'm not mistaken, the Xiuzhu you mentioned is indeed with me. But since you have hurt him deeply in the past, I must ask for his opinion before giving a reply."

Fei Qingmu looked at Yun Gui with indifference. Yun Gui bit her pale lower lip and said, "First, let me apologize on behalf of your teacher."

Qi Yu glanced at him and said, "Master, you should go and say it yourself."

Yun Gui fell silent.

Qi Yu looked at Feng Xiao 2.0, who had inexplicably started acting like a stalker beside her, and still placed a barely perceptible amount of trust in him.

"Keep an eye on things for me."

Feng Xiao nodded demurely.

Qi Yu snapped his fingers and disappeared from the spot.

When she appeared in the space of Spring Breeze Brushing the Hairpin, she did not immediately take out the "Chaotic Spirit Body" to go in and find Zhu Xiuzi. Instead, she stood in front of Flower Moon Pavilion and pondered for a while.

Tianma Feiyun trotted over, and seeing Qi Yu's changed appearance, he paused in place, somewhat puzzled.

Qi Yu looked at the big, confused look in Tianma's eyes and laughed, "Don't you recognize me?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Fei Yun boldly began to nuzzle Qi Yu with her head.

Qi Yu stroked the smooth horsehair and sorted through the information she had received.

She took out the "Chaotic Spirit Body" and, without hesitation, gently tapped it. "Master, let me in."

Suddenly, Qi Yu felt dizzy and fell into the book.

The gray ball of fur was engrossed in the pile of books, and even the act of bringing her apprentice into the space became perfunctory, almost causing her to fall on her butt.

Qi Yu looked at the incredibly happy Zhu Xiuzi and hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to speak.

More than three hundred years have passed...

Zhu Xiuzi noticed her silence and turned around to ask, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything when your master isn't speaking?"

Qi Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead, then asked, "Master, wasn't your name Xiuzhu before?"

Zhu Xiuzi paused, floated up from the pile of books, and approached Qi Yu. "My dear disciple, how did you know?"
