Chapter 89 Yu Lin (Third Update) The Secret
Spending money makes all the difference; Song Yin now felt at ease making arrangements.
"Tomorrow, pay attention to whether he comes again. If he does, ask for his name and try to find out why he did it."
"And also, when you have some free time, hire a helper for our shop."
Zhuang Dai: "No problem, boss."
That's great! She's a mature and reliable older sister; the shop is saved! If you ignore the expensive monthly wages.
Song Yin returned to her sect with great satisfaction.
For the next few days, the shop continued to operate normally, selling whatever was available, and Song Yin only needed to restock regularly. Now that she had her own shop, she would refine extra pills to sell whenever she wasn't busy.
Because of her increased demand for spiritual herbs, Wen Shuxue directly gave her a much lower price.
Song Yin went to get new spiritual herbs from the Spirit Herb Peak. "Is it really okay that it's so much cheaper?"
Wen Shuxue packed all the picked spiritual herbs and placed them on the table for Song Yin to put into her storage bag. Upon hearing this, she looked up and said, "Those who buy more get a discount, it's not just a discount for you."
Many years have passed, and Wen Shuxue has grown into a graceful young woman, having changed much of her arrogant and domineering personality from her childhood.
Song Yin: "Yes, yes, thank you for the discount, Miss."
Wen Shuxue tilted her head back and humphed.
Having obtained the spiritual herb, Song Yin left.
Wen Shuxue called out to the person, "Hey, do you remember the person I hated the most when we were kids?"
Song Yin: "Who is the person you hate the most?"
Wen Shuxue stomped her foot, "You're still pretending with me!"
"Haha, alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. The person you hate the most is Song Tian, so what's wrong with him?"
"Song Tian died a few days ago."
Song Yin's smile vanished. "How did he die?"
Of the twenty-two people who came from Qingshi Village at the same time, although they had gradually lost contact with some of them and sometimes didn't even see each other all year round, this was the first time they had heard of the death of someone from that year.
Wen Shuxue: "He was addicted to gambling and couldn't pay his debts. First, his leg was broken by the debt collectors, and then they tried to kill him. The incident happened outside the sect, and the debt collectors still had IOUs, so the sect couldn't really demand an explanation. They just let his acquaintances who came with him give him a hasty burial. They asked me if I wanted to see him off. Are you going?"
Song Yin: "I'm not going. I have no connection with him to begin with."
Wen Shuxue chuckled, "I'm not going either. After all, he brought this upon himself."
After visiting Spirit Herb Peak and overhearing some gossip, Song Yin returned to Danque Peak and began processing new spirit herbs in preparation for alchemy.
Suddenly, a communication talisman flew out of the storage bag and stopped in front of Song Yin.
“Boss, I’ve found out the name of the person you asked me to keep an eye on. His name is Yu Lin, Yu as in the rest of life and Lin as in sweet rain. I asked him why he always comes to buy large quantities of spirit stones, but he didn’t give a reason and only said that he has spirit stones.”
Song Yin pondered for a moment: "I understand. I will come to the store tomorrow."
After the exchange, the communication talisman spontaneously combusted without wind and turned to ashes.
"Yu Lin..."
If Han Changyu hadn't mentioned this person to me, I might be completely clueless now that I've heard the name.
Song Yin sped up her alchemy process, and after completing the quantity she needed to sell, she went directly to the house at the foot of the mountain and found Han Changyu.
Han Changyu kept his yard in perfect order and even planted a lot of sunflowers.
When Song Yin arrived, Han Changyu was watering the sunflowers.
"Senior sister, what brings you here?"
Song Tian: "After you told me about Yu Lin last time, did you go to see him again?"
Han Changyu put down the water ladle. "Ever since he finished his confinement and went to the outer sect, I haven't had any contact with him. Did you run into him, Senior Sister?"
Song Yin: "There's something related to him. If you hadn't told me his name last time, I'd probably be completely clueless right now."
Han Changyu: "Senior sister, do you need any help?"
Song Yin: "Thank you, but you don't need to trouble yourself."
After bidding farewell to Han Changyu, Song Yin put on the exquisite mask, this time creating a cute appearance, and headed straight for the outer gate.
She suppressed her cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining and went to the outer sect academy, which had the most people.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know where Yu Lin is? Someone is looking for him and asked me to pass on a message." Song Yin pulled a sword cultivator aside.
Sword cultivator: "Yu Lin? I don't know him."
Song Yin: "I apologize for disturbing you, fellow Daoist."
If one doesn't work, try the next one.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know Yu Lin?"
“If you’re talking about Jin Dandan Xiu Yulin, then I know him.”
"Great!" Song Yin pressed, "Do you know where he is? Someone asked me to pass on a message to him."
The class had just ended, and everyone was walking back. The girl's gaze swept across the different floors, finally settling on Yu Lin. "The one dressed all in black is him. Fellow Daoist, please be careful when you look for him. He's not very bright, has a bad temper, and speaks rudely. Nobody wants to be friends with him."
It really was him!
Song Yin: "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
She saw Yu Lin, but he didn't see her.
Yu Lin rode his sword, traveling all the way to the floating island where the Discipline Hall was located. Song Yin followed him, mingling in the crowd, her heart filled with doubt as she watched him arrive at the Discipline Hall.
What puzzled Song Yin even more was that he took out his identity token and then went to the Cliff of Contemplation without any hindrance.
This time, Song Yin did not rush to follow, but instead went to ask the disciple guarding the gate.
"Fellow Daoist, did the person who just went in commit a mistake?"
"No, Yu Lin's solitary confinement punishment ended a long time ago. He's going in now to visit an old friend."
Song Yin: "Visiting an old friend? Do you know who his old friend is?"
Gatekeeper disciple: "This..."
Seeing that the other party's cultivation level was Foundation Establishment, Song Yin took out a bottle of second-grade Lesser Rejuvenation Pills and started spouting nonsense, "Senior brother, please help me out. I'm just running errands for my senior sister. He's caught her eye, and she wants to know more about him, so..."
The gatekeeper looked around, then accepted the pill. "His old friend is Du Ci. But who is your senior sister?"
The gatekeeper disciple's gossipy nature arose.
Song Yin said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, this concerns Senior Sister's reputation and cannot be easily revealed. May I go in and take a look?"
The gatekeeper disciple stepped aside and said, "Go quickly. When your senior sister is willing to tell others, remember to come and let me know."
Song Yin nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, thank you, senior brother."
Using fabricated gossip, Song Yin sneaked into the Cliff of Repentance. Following the numbers given by the gatekeeper, she groped her way until she saw Yu Lin standing in front of a solitary confinement cell.
Song Yin suppressed her aura, pondered for a few seconds, and took out the paper talisman figure cut by Shi Heming.
The paper talisman was inconspicuous, and its spiritual energy fluctuations were barely perceptible.
"You were the one who did it back then, why do you refuse to admit it!" Yu Lin grabbed Du Ci's chin with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, Du Ci's spiritual energy was sealed, and his limbs were chained.
Song Yin's pupils contracted slightly; she had stumbled upon something amusing! Without a second thought, she took out her recording stone and recorded the entire scene before her.
Forced to tilt his head back, Du Ci was in great discomfort, but he forced a smile and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Back then, when the sect sent people to search the souls of your family, all they remembered was you."
Yu Lin clenched his other hand so tightly it cracked, his furious crimson eyes fixed on Du Ci, and he gritted his teeth and said, "In the entire Immortal Cloud Sect, only you know the exact address of my home, and only you have been to my home and know my parents and sister."
"So what if I know? You have no proof that I did it. Even if you hire someone to search my soul, it won't help. I didn't do it, and that's that. Even if you come to ask me every day and laugh at me, I will give the same answer."
Snap!
Blood seeped from the corner of Du Ci's mouth. He stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked it, his smile sinister and vicious. "You can hit me again and I won't be hurt. On the contrary, your sister probably won't live much longer, right? She was so young when she underwent soul searching. The feeling of her soul being damaged must have been unpleasant."
Yu Lin grabbed Du Ci's neck, and Du Ci's face quickly turned red.
Du Ci: "Go ahead and strangle me, you won't get away with it either. The sect has a strict rule against killing fellow disciples. Unless you and I go to the arena for a life-or-death duel, but I'm in solitary confinement, are you willing to submit an application to the Discipline Hall to let me out? Hahaha!"
Yu Lin's already gloomy face became even more severe, and his body was shrouded in resentment, as if he would go mad and fall into evil cultivation at any moment.
Just as Du Ci was about to breathe her last, Yu Lin released her hand, turned around and walked out with a stern face, saying, "I will come again tomorrow, and I hope you can stick to it for thirty years without changing your mind."
Song Yin immediately walked out, and the gatekeepers didn't even have time to say hello before they discovered that Song Yin had disappeared.
Song Yin found a place to hide. Yu Lin had been going there every day for the past few days, and she wanted to keep an eye on whether Yu Lin would still go to the store to buy things.
Following along, Song Yin saw Yu Linzhen go to a store where you could buy whatever you wanted, and she suddenly felt no surprise at all.
This time, she didn't hide anything; she even took off her exquisite mask and walked into the store in her true form, completely uninhibited.
Zhuang Dai saw Song Yin and nodded to the shop owner in greeting. She recognized the shop owner's original appearance because Shan Yuanjun had shown her the image stone before she came to the shop.
Yu Lin didn't look at what goods were on the shelves that day; he walked straight towards Zhuang Dai.
"I want everything."
Zhuang Dai smiled politely and said, "Okay."
So he simply patted Yu Lin on the shoulder from behind.
Yu Lin's eyes were like knives as he turned around instantly. Upon seeing Song Yin, his expression changed, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
There is a private little space in the shop, which is sometimes used for drinking tea and relaxing.
"Come with me."
Song Yin just called out casually, but who would have thought that Yu Lin would actually follow her to the rest area at the back.
Song Yin asked him to sit down, while she herself sat opposite Yu Lin.
"Yu Lin, right? Judging from your expression, you recognize me, so I'll skip the introductions and just get straight to the point." Song Yin poured him a cup of tea. "Why do you come to my shop every day and buy everything?"
Yu Lin picked up his teacup with a restrained air, still looking gloomy.
"Buy it if you want, you're being too nosy."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu Lin unconsciously tightened his grip on his teacup, a hint of unease flashing across his face.
Song Yin: "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't dare to sell you my products in the future. If one day you use the products to accuse my store, I won't be able to defend myself."
Yu Lin jumped up like a firecracker, "I'm not a two-faced, treacherous villain!"
Song Yin wasn't intimidated by him. Yu Lin was at the Golden Core stage, as was she. Besides, Yu Lin was merely a pill cultivator, while she was not only a pill cultivator but also a sword cultivator.
She lowered her head and took a small sip, then said calmly, "Whether someone is a villain or not is hard to believe based on your own words alone. After all, you have a criminal record and were expelled from the inner sect."
Yu Lin's breathing became heavy, and he wanted to lash out at the person in front of him. After a few breaths, he suddenly turned his head, slammed the teacup down on the table, and turned to walk out.
Song Yin: "What did you mean by what you said to Du Ci today?"
Yu Lin was frozen in place as if struck by lightning, then slowly turned around, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"You've been following me."

And in the end, she'll be killed by the villain's sword?

Qin Zhaoyue: (smiles)
Qin Zhaoyue: Luckily, I'm not a good person to begin with, and I have plenty of strength and means.
Since Long Aotian, who killed him, was his mortal enemy, what was he waiting for?
Qin Zhaoyue summoned her three disciples.
Qin Zhaoyue: Go and kill Li Qingyu.
The disciples pointed at themselves: Huh? We're going to kill Uncle-Master Li? Really?
-
[Excerpt 1]
The apprentices gathered together and secretly played with crickets.
Eldest disciple: We are not strong enough, so we can only resort to underhanded tactics.
Second disciple: Uncle-Master Ke Li has given us many benefits, asking us to speak well of him to our master.
Third apprentice: Never mind, let's just deceive both sides for now.
[Segment Two]
Li Qingyu, who had been drugged by her eldest disciple, stayed in her room and did not come out. Her second disciple quietly locked the door.
The third disciple said: "Uncle Li, Master told you to wait inside the house."
The third disciple then said: Master, we have already killed Uncle Li, and his body is inside the house.
The master has arrived, so the disciples retreat.
Qin Zhaoyue pushed open the door and saw Li Qingyu, dressed lightly and clearly wearing traditional Chinese medicine, lying on the bed, and fell silent.
Their eyes met, and Qin Zhaoyue turned and left.
Li Qingyu stretched out her long arm from behind and pressed it firmly against the door.
"Didn't Zhaoyue send me? Why are you leaving again?"
Qin Zhaoyue: Garlic bird, garlic bird, don't be angry, just kill them all :)
