"Later, I didn't even take the body. I took the money from my family and fled to Jinsong City alone overnight." When he said this, Xie Jinxing's voice was slightly nasal. "My brother was only three years old, and he was so cruel!"

"I want to die, but I can't. What right do I have to die? They all died because of me. I want to avenge them, but I didn't expect that I would be persuaded to quit after participating in three Ascension Meetings. If I hadn't met my master the fourth time, I would have become a demon."

Yin Li hugged him and patted his back: "Why didn't you tell me before? Otherwise, I would have tried my best to help you get revenge that day."

"Revenge is my business and has nothing to do with Master."

"You are my apprentice, and your business is my business."

Xie Jinxing felt a little warm in his heart when he heard this.

He had originally wanted to die as a token of atonement after taking revenge, but now he couldn't bear to do that.

Xie Jinxing said apologetically: Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, Uncle Wang, Brother... I'm sorry, I can't go down to accompany you, please forgive me.

After saying this, Yin Li asked about Lou Cheng and Shu Muyun.

"Lou Cheng is dead, but Shu Muyun ran away."

"..." As expected of the girl of destiny, she was able to escape under the noses of two powerful Spirit Severing Stage masters. "You should be more careful next time. I'm afraid she will come for revenge."

"Master, I will practice hard and protect you."

"Yeah." Yin Li nodded happily.

…

After Yinli woke up, Wangchen came to see her quickly.

"I'm fine." It was rare that Wang Chen didn't say anything extra this time. He just gave her a complicated look, dropped a bunch of magic weapons, and announced that he would go into seclusion after returning.

"Xiao Dipeng, Master seems to have noticed that I am not the original Yinli."

"That's normal. You took out the magic weapon that day. Others may not know, but Wangchen must know." Xiao Dipeng agreed: "Fortunately, he didn't expose you."

"The soul tablet is fine, which means I didn't take over someone else's body. That's why he didn't expose me."

Xiao Dipeng quickly reminded: "No matter what, the host should not be impulsive next time. Artifacts like this cannot be taken out casually. Next, we will definitely be the focus of the Heavenly Dao. The host, you should be careful, otherwise you will be forced to expel and the mission will fail."

"I know."

After resting at Jingyue Peak for half a month, Yinli offered to accompany Xie Jinxing home.

"Going home?"

"Um."

"After so many years, my home may no longer exist." Xie Jinxing didn't dare to go back from the bottom of his heart, but seeing Yin Li's expectant eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back together."

Xie Jinxing's home is in Licheng, a very beautiful name.

Licheng is under the jurisdiction of Fengqingmen, and there are many independent cultivators. The people here live a very wealthy life. Back then, the Xie family was a wealthy family in Licheng. Even the Lord of Licheng was courteous to the Xie family.

The two of them did not fly on swords, but drove a horse-drawn carriage, stopping and starting along the way, just as if they were having fun. If they encountered unfair things or evil cultivators, they would help solve them, just as a way of experience.

Half a month later, they arrived in Licheng.

When he first entered the city, Yinli felt that Licheng was different from other places in terms of prosperity and liveliness. The people here were all well dressed, no worse than the people in Jinsong City, and everyone had a smile on their face.

"Master, Licheng's pear blossom cake and pear blossom tea are the most famous." After many years, Xie Jinxing returned to Licheng again. He felt very complicated, but because of the little girl by his side, Xie Jinxing's complicated heart felt much more at ease.

"Then let's go eat and find out while we're at it."

"Okay." Xie Jinxing drove the carriage, "Drunken Immortal House is the most famous for its pear blossom cake and pear blossom tea. Master will definitely like it."

Yin Li nodded, looking around excitedly.

Arriving at Zuixianlou, Yinli and Xie Jinxing found a seat in the lobby and sat down. After ordering the local specialties, Xie Jinxing began to make tea.

His technique was neat, smooth and pleasing to the eye, as if he had done it many times.

The people around were either tasting delicious food or talking about various gossips in the world of cultivation. Of course, the biggest gossip was the matter of the Dark Owl. Even though he had been dead for a month, the cultivators still talked about it with relish.

The waiter brought the pear blossom cakes. Yin Li couldn't wait to pick one up and taste it, then squinted his eyes, obviously extremely satisfied.

“So fragrant, so soft, so delicious duck~”

Xie Jinxing smiled and poured her a cup of hot tea: "Master, it will taste even better with pear blossom tea."

Yinli blew on the hot tea, took a sip, and then gave Xie Jinxing a thumbs up.

"tasty."

Xie Jinxing picked up the pear blossom cake, took a bite, and said with a smile: "The pear blossom cake still tastes the same as before." It's a pity that people are no longer the same as before.

"Then eat more."

"Um."

As the two were chatting and laughing, they heard people at the next table talking about the Xie Mansion.

"Although no one lives in the Xie Mansion, the title deed has been taken away by someone, which means that the Xie Mansion has an owner, so you should buy another house."

"But if it has an owner, why haven't I seen the owner for so many years?"

"Who knows? But everyone speculates that the person holding the deed is most likely the murderer who killed the Xie family. But it could also be the eldest son of the Xie family. It's a pity that the eldest son of the Xie family has not appeared for so many years. No one knows whether he is dead or alive. It's a pity that the Xie family has ended up like this."

The two were still talking, but Yin Li looked at Xie Jinxing: "The deed is in your hands?"

"Um."

After eating, the two did not rush to Xie's house, but found an inn to stay in.

Night falls.

Yin Li looked at Xie Jinxing who was in a daze by the window and asked in confusion: "Yiyu, are you homesick?"

Xie Jinxing nodded and shook his head.

He was homesick, to be sure, but more importantly, it was because 138 lives were lost because of him, but he was unable to kill his enemies with his own hands, and could not even die to atone for his sins. He felt guilty!

Yin Li still didn't know how to say comforting words, so she raised her hand and stroked the top of his head.

"Master." Xie Jinxing stood up, "Let's go to sleep."

"Um."

They have started sharing a bed these days but nothing has been done.

Yin Li wanted to do something, but Xie Jinxing wanted to become stronger so that they could have sex after they became Taoist partners.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Xie Jinxing took Yinli to have a special breakfast in Licheng, and then the two walked to the gate of Xie's house.

The Xie Mansion, which was once a prosperous and bustling place, now had its doors closed and sealed.

The vermilion gate had faded after being weathered by wind and rain, and looked extremely shabby.

After tearing off the seal and pushing open the door, the yard was overgrown with weeds.

"The bodies are gone." After walking around the mansion, no bodies were found. Even the broken tables and chairs were cleaned up. "I don't know who came here and put a seal on the door."
