Inside the inner courtyard.

In a somewhat secluded mountain range, many mountain peaks exude powerful auras, suggesting that powerful individuals cultivate there.

This secluded mountain range does not belong to any of the Eight Gates, and it is protected by certain restrictions to prevent inner disciples from entering at will.

After arriving in the mountains, Yunyi and Jiju headed straight for a mountain peak.

After reaching a somewhat remote mountain peak, the two stopped.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Yun Yi called out loudly, "Elder Han, this junior, Yun Yi, has something urgent to tell you."

After the sound faded, the entire mountain fell silent. Yun Yi and Ji Ju exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what was going on. However, due to the restrictions placed on the mountain, the two were unable to enter.

Just as Yunyi was about to call out again, he suddenly felt the barrier outside the mountain peak being opened. Without any hesitation, the two rushed towards the mountaintop.

Before they even reached the summit, they could see many beautiful young girls playing around.

However, these girls did not seem to be disciples of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, but rather Han Sui's followers, yet they were all exceptionally beautiful.

When Yunyi saw the young girls' exposed bodies, he couldn't take his eyes off them for a moment.

"Oh, it's Yunyi. What brings you here?" Just as Yunyi was lost in thought, a clear and melodious voice came from behind.

Han Sui, his clothes slightly disheveled and his face flushed, walked slowly over, followed by two women with similarly rosy complexions, as if they had just finished something.

"Ahem!" Ji Ju noticed that Yun Yi beside him was somewhat engrossed and quickly reminded him.

Seeing Yun Yi's appearance, Han Sui said as if he didn't care, "If you like, those beauties can be given to you. Now that Han Yao is in your Lei Pavilion, I hope your grandfather can take good care of him."

Coming to his senses, Yun Yi remembered the main reason for his visit. "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Han, but I have some bad news to share with you."

Although Han Sui holds the title of elder in the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, this title is merely an inheritance of his ancestors' glory. There are many rumors in the inner courtyard that Han Sui's great-grandfather was once a capable assistant to the dean of the Eastern Wilderness Academy. Unfortunately, he perished during an attack by enemies while trying to help the dean escape. After the establishment of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, the dean, mindful of his contributions, allowed his descendants to permanently inherit the title of elder in the inner courtyard.

Otherwise, with his cultivation at the fourth level of the Yuanfu Realm, Han Sui could at most obtain the position of Dean of the Outer Court.

Even so, Yun Yi was very respectful to Han Sui, because having the support of an elder would make it easier for Lei Ge to take over Kunmen in the future.

"I am sorry!" With a thud, Yun Yi knelt down in front of Han Sui.

Han Sui was puzzled and quickly stepped forward to pull Yun Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, up. "Get up quickly, what's wrong? Tell me slowly."

Han Sui dared not neglect Yun Yi, because his grandfather Yun Lei now had the cultivation of the eighth level of the Yuanfu Realm and had the opportunity to enter the third level of the Ningdan Realm in the future. When he took control of the entire Kunmen, Han Sui was also able to reap many benefits from it.

"Han Yao is dead!" Yun Yi said, without standing up, but with his head down.

"What!"

After a roar, Yuan Power surged out of Han Sui's body, and the two beauties behind him, who had no cultivation, exploded and died instantly.

Yun Yi and Ji Ju were also not in a good position. They had been bombarded by Qin Xin using the powerful spiritual energy of the spiritual veins, and now they were affected by the chaotic Yuan power that Han Sui suddenly unleashed in his anger.

My throat suddenly tasted sweet, and I almost vomited blood.

"What did you say? Say it again." Han Sui grabbed Yun Yi by the collar, veins bulging on his arm, his eyes bloodshot.

As Han Sui's only younger brother, Han Yao was also his only relative. Therefore, when Han Yao acted recklessly, Han Sui would use his status to protect him. Previously, Han Yao had accidentally killed a fellow disciple in the academy, and Han Sui took all the blame upon himself to help him escape punishment.

That's why the Inner Court's Punishment Hall transferred him to the Outer Court.

"Elder Han!" Ji Ju, who was standing to the side, looked at Yun Yi, who was being grabbed by the collar, with a look of fear in his eyes and immediately wanted to step forward to stop him.

"Get out of my way!"

With a light rebuke, Han Sui unleashed a surge of energy that slammed Ji Ju against a stone wall.

"Pfft!" A burst of fishy-sweet taste shot out from Ji Ju's mouth.

"Han Yao is already dead, and he died at the hands of a man named Qin Xin." Yun Yi was also somewhat frightened. He did not expect Han Sui to be so furious, and hurriedly explained, "Elder Han, we did not know why Qin Xin killed Han Yao. Han Yao and I were like brothers, as you know."

As Yunyi spoke, a tear welled up in the corner of her eye.

After hearing Yun Yi's words, Han Sui regained a sliver of his rationality, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not disappear at all.

"Qin Xin?"

The name sounded somewhat familiar to Han Sui. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that Han Yao had asked him to tamper with the Wind-Riding Eagle, and that person was none other than Qin Xin.

Tell me the whole story!

Han Sui stared at Yun Yi, watching the changes in his expression. If he realized that the other party was lying, he would probably not be able to resist taking action directly.

Yun Yi dared not hide anything and recounted in detail how Han Yao followed Ruan Xiaoman and Ruan Yuan to hunt down Qin Xin. Of course, he embellished the story quite a bit, even describing Qin Xin as a troublemaker.

"I will verify with the Second Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty myself. If you are lying, even your grandfather cannot protect you!" Han Sui naturally knew who Yun Yi was, and after learning the whole story, he also noticed a clue.

"Everything I said is true!"

Yun Yi had already pinned her hopes on Qin Xin, so naturally she couldn't back down.

~~~~~~

Upon returning to his cave, Qin Xin was unaware of the crisis he was facing.

After handing over some pills that he had recently refined to Qin Xue, the two chatted for a while.

Now, the spiritual energy obtained from selling pills at the main peak of Kunmen is enough to support the disciples' cultivation for a long time. Of course, all of this is inseparable from Qin Xue's hard work.

"Sister Qin Xue, you're not getting any younger. It's time to find a Daoist partner. I imagine being your Daoist partner would be very blissful."

Qin Xin, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Xue, who was wearing a long dress and had her long, white legs exposed. He smiled and said something.

"You're asking for it!"

Qin Xue's face showed some anger, and she grabbed a teacup and threw it at Qin Xin.

Qin Xin darted to take the teacup, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Ahem, just kidding."

After placing the teacup aside, Qin Xin ran out of the pavilion as if fleeing.

Watching Qin Xin's hasty retreat, Qin Xue couldn't help but smile. "Hmph! That little rascal, he really won't change his ways!"
