After escorting Yisheng back to his room, Yin Yang spoke with a concerned tone, "Senior Brother, why don't you know how to take care of your health? If this continues, even if the sect doesn't collapse, you'll be the first one to fall!"

Yisheng covered his head, recalling what Cui Ming had just said to him, and a wave of bitterness and helplessness washed over him:

"I saw that the Sect Master had been troubled by financial problems these past few days, so I was saving money to make his favorite beggar's chicken to cheer him up. Who knew that someone would steal some of it when I wasn't looking? And I was powerless to defend myself, which only made the Sect Master angrier... Now the Sect Master wants me to leave the sect, and I... I really don't know what to do..."

Yin Yang opened his mouth, "It's not that serious, is it? It's just a chicken..."

At this point, Yin Yang immediately thought of someone to suspect: "Right, could it be that Second Brother stole the food?"

“Although my second junior brother is greedy, he shouldn’t steal food…” Yisheng thought for a moment and shook his head before speaking.

Yin Yang frowned. "Then I can't figure out who would have the motive to steal the chicken! But such petty theft is really not enough to warrant expelling you from the sect, Senior Brother. Senior Brother, don't worry, I think the Sect Master is just angry for a moment, and it's not directed at you."

Yisheng nodded, his eyes regaining some focus, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your kind words, Third Junior Sister. Hearing you say that makes me feel much more at ease."

Yin Yang glanced at Yi Sheng and continued, "Senior Brother, take good care of yourself these next few days. When my friend returns, I think the Sword Pavilion's funding problem will be resolved."

"Well, now I can only trust you, Third Junior Sister..." At this point, Yi Sheng pulled a medicine bottle from his robes and said solemnly, "By the way, I have some newly refined pills here. If you don't have enough funds, you can give them to the Pavilion Master to sell and get some..."

Yin Yang took the medicine bottle from Yi Sheng, the warm touch was incredibly comforting. He turned to look at the latter's pale face, then nodded solemnly, "Senior Brother, please rest assured, leave it to me!"

At this moment, out of their sight, Ippei squinted at them, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He immediately made up his mind and turned to leave.

On the other side, Mo Chen left the Sword Pavilion and went directly to the Wanbao Palace, but he couldn't sense Gu Liyan's presence along the way.

Worried, Mo Chen thought of asking Mo Hua where he was, but when he arrived at Mo Hua's door, he heard Mo Hua and a familiar voice...

"What did you say? Are you sure that fox is still alive?"

Upon hearing that voice, Mo Chen frowned, secretly surprised. "Why would An Qianshan come to Wanbao Palace?"

Just as he was wondering, he heard Mo Hua speak with a smile:

"Of course! After he faked his death, I dealt with him many times. How could I mistake his scent? It's just a pity that he had a chance to slip away before I could inform you. I don't know where he is now."

An Qianshan snorted coldly, "Hmph, this cunning fox, what a clever escape! He's not so easy to kill after all! I hope the Palace Mistress will notify my Shadow Hall when she catches him!"

“No problem! As long as the Hall Master remembers our agreement…” Mo Hua hesitated for a moment, then squinted at the doorway before changing the subject, “It’s getting late, Hall Master, please return.”

"I know, then I'll be going now," An Qianshan said hastily.

Mo Hua interrupted him, saying, "It's late. You should leave through the window, Master. I don't want people to say that I have an affair with you."

An Qianshan nodded without hesitation, "Okay!"

After An Qianshan jumped out of the window and left, Mo Hua lazily spoke:

"Come in! You've been listening at the door for so long, I bet you're about to lose your temper, aren't you?"

Mo Chen pushed open the door and walked in with a cold face. "Why are you with our enemy? Do you know what kind of threat you pose to us by cooperating with him!"

Mo Hua glanced at Mo Chen, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Little Chen, I told you before, apart from the hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of stealing one's wife, there are no absolute enemies in this world, only absolute interests!"

"So... you want to betray me and Gu Liyan?" Mo Chen asked with displeasure.

“Betrayal? You are my husband, and you just heard my attitude. How can you say I betrayed you?” Mo Hua said unhappily. “Besides, Gu Liyan has never been my friend! How can you say I betrayed him?”

Mo Chen took a deep breath. "Gu Liyan is my companion weapon. I signed a life-and-death contract with him. If you want him to die, you want me to die!"

Mo Hua frowned slightly. "Then just break the contract with him! Didn't he agree? Why do you insist on staying by his side? He's weak and cowardly, what good do you think he can do for you!"

Mo Chen frowned as he looked at Mo Hua, who seemed completely bewildered, and said, "Benefits? I didn't expect any benefits. I was just completing a mission."

"Also, I was planning to break off the contract with him, but seeing how you're so determined to harm him, I really don't have that thought for now! Mo Hua, you're a person from the Nine Springs Realm after all, I simply can't accept what you're doing. I'll come back to you when you realize your mistake!"

"What? You..." Before Mo Hua could say anything more, Mo Chen had already turned and left.

Mo Hua clenched his fists. "Damn bastard, I did all this for you..."

Mo Hua's gaze was icy, and she spoke in a chilling voice, "Gu Liyan, it's all your fault for making him your weapon! No matter what, I will never let you go!"
