"Actually... sigh... never mind... let's not talk about it anymore. Since you are her senior brother, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's go in."

After saying this, Shen Zhao took the initiative to step aside and opened the entrance to the ancient temple to the master and disciple.

This only piqued Ling Yuxuan's interest further, and he said urgently, "Brother, can you not only say half of what you mean? It's making me uncomfortable."

"Forget it, you can go. I can see that you are also deeply in love with your junior sister. I really don't want to ruin the perfect image she has in your mind."

One sentence was enough to make Ling Yuxuan lose his temper: "Tell me, what happened to my junior sister? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't even think about leaving here."

Shen Zhao looked troubled: "How can I bring this up? Let me put it this way..."

I'm just a touchstone on your junior sister's path to true love.

That's all. Your junior sister's true white moonlight is someone else entirely.

"hiss……"

Ling Yuxuan gasped, staring at Shen Zhao in disbelief.

"You mean my junior sister..."

"That's right, just as you think."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuxuan was completely stunned.

It was the Nine Venerable Daoists who felt this was too outrageous and immediately spoke up: "Disciple, don't be fooled by his few words, he's lying to you."

Shen Zhao: "Old man, with your otherworldly and dignified appearance, you must be the Empress's master, the Nine Venerable Daoists."

"That's right, it is I."

Hearing the compliments, the Nine Venerable Daoists' faces lit up with joy, and their opinion of Shen Zhao improved slightly.

"Nine Venerable Daoists, everything I have said is true. If not..."

Why do you think I'm still here begging for food? The truth is, I was banished from the palace long ago, and now I live a miserable life, exposed to the elements.

"this……"

The nine Taoist masters fell into deep thought.

Ling Yuxuan, disregarding everything else, grabbed Shen Zhao's arm and asked, "Tell me quickly, who is the person who seduced my junior sister? You must tell me!"

"I'd better not say anything more; it's a long story."

"Brother, please tell me. I admit I misunderstood you before."

"If you just tell me who that man is, I'll immediately apologize to you."

"There's no need to apologize. Now that I've been banished from the palace, I'm penniless and have nowhere to go... Alas..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuxuan immediately took out a storage bag containing five hundred high-grade spirit stones and stuffed it into Shen Zhao's hand: "Brother, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please tell me what it is."

"Well... alright then..."

Shen Zhao weighed the storage bag in his hand, and after checking the number of spirit stones inside with the divine stone, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"I'll only tell you that person's name. The white moonlight that your junior sister has been longing for is named Lin Feng. He is the person your junior sister loves with all her heart."

"Lin Feng? Who is he? What did he do to my junior sister? Why is he her white moonlight?!"

Ling Yuxuan kept pressing for answers.

Shen Zhao sighed: "I've said everything I needed to say. The rest is up to you to figure out."

In short, take my advice.

Cherish life, stay away from Yu Xiyan.

After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder and made as if to leave.

Ling Yuxuan quickly stopped Shen Zhao: "No, please tell me, brother, just take pity on me, okay?"

"But I have to go to work, and I really don't have time to continue talking to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yuxuan handed over another storage bag containing a thousand high-grade spirit stones.

"Brother, put the job thing on hold for now. Let's talk things out before you go."

"But if I don't go back to work, I won't even have money for food next month."

Ling Yuxuan tossed over another storage bag containing three thousand high-grade spirit stones: "Brother, stop worrying about this piece of work and get to the point."

"How about we add the previous ones and make it a round number of five thousand?"

"I'll scrape together ten thousand for you, hurry up and tell me."

Ling Yuxuan instinctively handed over another storage bag, bringing the total number of spirit stones given to Shen Zhao to ten thousand.

"Alright, but brother, you'd better be prepared. Ice Flame, play the erhu to liven things up."

Shen Zhao put away the storage bag with satisfaction, and then, amidst a mournful erhu melody, started chatting with Ling Yuxuan.

"Brother, actually I'm just a tool your junior sister used to cover things up. Her true love, Lin Feng, is the man she has to marry in this life."

You know the pavilion in the middle of the lake in Chang'an, right? They made their vows of love there.

"Impossible, my junior sister isn't that kind of person."

"Brother, I know you might not be able to accept this reality."

But I swear on my conscience that everything I just said is true, without a single falsehood.

"No, that's not how it is. My junior sister is so pure and innocent, so kind and kind. How could she do such a thing?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao sneered inwardly: "Yu Xiyan is innocent and kind? She's too kind, so kind that she's killed me nine times over."

But on the surface, he still tried to comfort her gently: "Brother, actually your junior sister and Lin Feng have many things they find difficult to talk about in private, but seeing you like this..."

"Sigh, never mind, it's getting late, I have to go to work, so I'll stop here."

After saying that, he made a move to get up.

"Don't go, brother! Tell me everything about her and Lin Feng, I want to know every single detail!"

"No, I have to go, or I'll be late. It's almost the end of the month, and I can't afford to lose my perfect attendance record."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuxuan promptly took out an extra-large storage bag: "Brother, here are 50,000 high-grade spirit stones. Consider it your perfect attendance bonus."

This is all I have on me; please accept it. Tell me everything, in detail, how Lin Feng deceived my junior sister.”
