Lu Xianyun felt relieved when he heard that Qiu Jichen didn't ask any questions or inquiries right away.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

But Lu Xianyun understood that there were some things Qiu Jichen didn't say in the communication symbol, but he would come and say them to her face to face.

Sooner or later you have to face it!

When Lu Xianyun walked out of the kitchen, she found that the whole family was looking at her.

"What did you say?" Lu Muyun asked her.

"It's nothing, Qiu Jichen is coming in a few days." Lu Xianyun said.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, then why did you come out empty-handed?"

"Ah!" Lu Xianyun screamed, realizing that he had gone into the kitchen to cook for them, but came out empty-handed.

She quickly turned around and went back to the kitchen to cook.

Lu Muyun muttered, "Then I'll stay a few more days!"

A few days later, Qiu Ji Chen came.

The two were talking in the private room upstairs.

Qiu Jichen held Lu Xianyun's hand and said, "I know you must be very sad and upset after what happened at the competition. But I couldn't be by your side. This is my fault."

Lu Xianyun shook his head.

"Don't say that. You did nothing wrong."

Qiu Jichen still held her hand tightly and said, "Don't mind other people's slander. I believe in you and I know what kind of person you are. So don't worry, I will accompany you on the road ahead."

However, Lu Xianyun's hand trembled slightly in his palm.

What he called belief was just based on his own judgment.

But what if one day he finds out that his judgment was wrong?

So what will their future look like?

If there are secrets, concealment, and deception between Taoist partners, can the relationship last long?

Lu Xianyun bit his lip and finally made a difficult decision.

She slowly pulled her hand out of Qiu Jichen's palm.

"Ji Chen, I have something to tell you."

Looking at Lu Xianyun's serious expression, Qiu Jichen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Lu Xianyun looked at him and said, "Ji Chen, that person's accusation against us is true. We are indeed from the Spiritual Medicine Sect."

Qiu Ji Chen was stunned.

His whole body froze, and he stared at Lu Xianyun blankly, unable to say anything.

Lu Xianyun continued, "What Liu Qianmo said is true. He did indeed destroy our sect and kill us. It's just that we were lucky enough to survive.

“In fact, we have long wanted to leave the Demon Sect, so we took this opportunity to hide our identities and prepare to start a new life.

"I will definitely keep this a secret from everyone else. But from you... I don't want to hide it from you.

"Because you are the one I want to join hands with, I don't want to have any secrets from you."

Lu Xianyun finished speaking, but the person in front of him was still stunned.

"I know it's hard for you to accept it right away. So I'll give you time. If you want to leave, leave now!

"If... I mean if, you still want to be with me, then come back in half a month, I'll be waiting for you here."

Half a month is enough time for people to think things over and make a decision.

Qiu Jichen's mind was in a mess.

He didn't know whether he nodded in agreement or stood up and left without nodding. He couldn't remember the details of how he left the restaurant.

But his distraught look caught the eyes of Lu Xianyun and Lu Muyun.

Lu Muyun felt angry again.

He went back upstairs to find Lu Xianyun.

"Did you tell him everything?" Lu Muyun asked.

Lu Xianyun nodded.

Lu Muyun knew it! Otherwise, Qiu Jichen wouldn't have such an expression.

"Then why did he leave? Did he know the truth and couldn't accept it, so he didn't want to care about you anymore?" Lu Muyun asked again.

This time, he clearly sounded angry.

Lu Xianyun sat there and said calmly, "After knowing the truth, it's normal even if he can't accept it for a while. He didn't say anything, so I gave him half a month to think about whether he can accept me as I am."

"Still thinking? Once you need to think, it means—"

Lu Muyun was halfway through his words when he looked at Lu Xianyun's expression and swallowed his words back.

He didn't believe that she was as calm as she looked on her face.

She must be heartbroken now, but she's holding on because she's afraid they'll worry. So why is he saying these things to upset her?

Lu Xianyun glanced at Lu Muyun, who was struggling beside him, seemingly unable to speak, and said, "Don't worry. Qiu Jichen is not that Liu Qianmo. Even if he can't accept it, he won't publicize our affairs and let those righteous sects come to arrest us."

"Come on, why should I be afraid of them?" Lu Muyun shouted all of a sudden.

Then he realized that he had been led astray by his sister, "Is this what I am worried about? What I am worried about is——"

Lu Muyun didn't finish his words.

What he was worried about was whether Lu Xianyun would be hurt.

"Half a month, right..." Lu Muyun muttered, "Then I'll stay for another half a month!"

Originally, he shouldn't have stayed here for so many days, but for his sister, he didn't want to go anywhere now.

Meanwhile, urgent discussions were underway within the Yuxuan Sect, and Elder Hu Peng had also been recalled.

The headmaster hasn't arrived yet, but the elders have already gathered.

The elders who usually did not get along with Hu Peng and disliked him were now all very proud and started to make sarcastic remarks.

"Oh, Elder Hu Peng really has a good eye for talent! I didn't expect the guest he invited to come was so influential!"

"That's right! We don't have this blessing!"

"It's a pity that this blessing only brings temporary satisfaction. I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future!"

"That's right. If this matter gets out, how will others evaluate our Yuxuan Sect? Will they still buy our sect's elixirs?"

Hu Peng didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he was very nervous at this time.

If the leader also blames him, he will be in real trouble.

He had nothing to say when the headmaster blamed him, but he refused to give in when faced with his fellow disciples who were jealous of him and made sarcastic remarks about him.

Hu Peng said, "I think you all seem to have forgotten that the Lingxu Sect's prodigy Liu Qianmo personally admitted that Master Lu Xing was not Lu Minxing from the Lingyao Sect, and that Lu Minxing had been killed by him.

"So it seems your worries are unnecessary, right?"

Just as Hu Peng was saying this, a voice suddenly rang out, "Although Liu Qianmo denied Lu Xing's identity, it has caused the entire cultivation world to begin to doubt him."
