He lowered his head in self-reproach, clenching his fists: "It's my fault for not protecting Master and Junior Sister. Senior Sister, do you blame me?"

Bi Xie felt flustered by Yang Xingyun's burning gaze. She thought to herself that Yang Xingyun might really like Lin Xie, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to save her in Zhongling Village. Moreover, the affection in his eyes was so strong that it couldn't be concealed.

But the thought of Yang Xingyun and Lin Xiaoyue making love sent chills down Bi Xie's spine.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said with feigned sadness, "How could I blame you, junior brother? No one expected that a vampire would appear in Zhongling Village. Even Master Jiang died at the hands of a vampire. How could you possibly defeat that vampire named Blake?"

"Senior sister, you don't blame me, you really don't blame me..." Yang Xingyun excitedly grasped Bi Xie's hand.

Bi Xie's eyes widened in shock. Damn it, this was blatantly taking advantage of her!

She chuckled inwardly, her smile gentle, but her hand forcefully pulled back.

However, Yang Xingyun gripped the handle even tighter and said sincerely, "Senior sister, now that Master and junior sister are both dead, but Master has taught us for many years, I must inherit his mantle and carry on the sect to make it great. Senior sister, would you be willing to come back to Qingzong Mountain with me?"

"Junior brother, weren't you supposed to be with the Ghost Hunters to kill vampires?"

Yang Xingyun coughed awkwardly and released Bi Xie's hand: "Senior Sister, to be honest, I've been studying Taoist arts for years, and I haven't used the Ghost-Slaying Blade for a long time. Today, I'm going into the Ghost Realm with Brother Ren, and I'm very grateful for his help..."

Bi Xie wanted to laugh, but he sighed seriously: "Master has taught me for many years, and I naturally want to continue the sect's legacy for Master. But as you saw today, that vampire named Blaitch is very interested in my blood. I'm afraid that even if I return to the sect, I will never have a peaceful day. It would be better to go to the Ghost Hunting Society and at least get a night of peace."

“Miss Lin wishes to join the Ghost Hunters Association, which I, Ren, would be very happy to welcome. Brother Yang, there’s no need for you to be modest. Your abilities are obvious to all, and you possess a red ghost-slaying sword that can easily sever a vampire’s neck!”

Ren Chen and Song Nai walked over, and Song Nai smiled and said, "Miss Lin, you must be the blood servant who spoke to me in the iron cage in the Ghost Realm, right? Your voice is very distinctive. I wonder how Miss Lin escaped from the Ghost Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Chen and Yang Xingyun's expressions changed simultaneously.

Yang Xingyun looked at Bi Xie in astonishment: "Senior Sister, you went to the Ghost Realm and even became a Blood Servant. How did that happen?"

Ren Chen remained silent, but his sharp gaze remained fixed on Bi Xie.

Song Nai said, "Miss Lin is not only a blood servant, but also a blood servant of the burial. Not long after she was locked up, she was taken to the sleeping quarters of the vampire progenitor. I always thought that Miss Lin had met with an accident. I never expected to see Miss Lin again."

Song Nai spoke casually, but every word she uttered was like adding fuel to the fire.

Bi Xie knew that if he didn't give an answer, these people probably wouldn't let it go.

"Senior Sister, you and Zang, you two..." Yang Xingyun's handsome face changed like a kaleidoscope, and his gaze at Bi Xie became more and more profound. "Senior Sister is so beautiful, did Zang force Senior Sister to do that kind of thing?"

Bi Xie's lips twitched, thinking: Damn, Yang Xingyun's guess was really accurate!

But he remained outwardly calm and composed, and after a moment of preparation, said, "Even ants try to survive. Does Junior Brother really want me to die in the Ghost Realm?"

Yang Xingyun's pained expression vanished, and he hurriedly explained, "Senior Sister, that's not what I meant. Of course, it's best that Senior Sister came back alive. I just... I just hate myself for not being able to protect Senior Sister and letting that beast violate her!"
