When the sect leader heard the news from his disciple, he was stunned for a moment. "Who did you say came back?!"
The eldest disciple, Su Lai, was usually an upright person, but at this moment he was excited, "Jiang Yixing! Junior Sister Jiang!"
"What?!"
The sect leader immediately stood up. "Have you confirmed it?"
The eldest disciple followed his master's back as he walked out, replying as he went, "Yes, I have already checked outside the mountain gate."
Where are they now?
"Junior sister said she has something important to discuss with Senior Uncle Xuanhai, and she has already gone to see him."
The sect leader nodded, his expression softening. He was one of those who genuinely didn't believe Jiang Yixing would die. He was one of the most outstanding geniuses of their Miaofa Sect in recent years. How could he just leave like this without any explanation?
"Let's hurry and meet up with them."
"good!"
The eldest disciple flew halfway when he suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn't told his master. "Oh, right, Master."
"What is it?"
The sect leader regained his usual composure.
The eldest disciple said, "I just saw that Rong Hang seemed to have come with my junior sister."
The sect leader paused for a moment, "Rong Hang?"
Before his most reliable disciple could answer, he asked again, "That Rong Hang who fell from grace?!"
Senior disciple: "Yes."
Sect Leader: "What is he doing here? Could it be that Jiang Yixing's ordeal is related to him? Let's speed up! We absolutely cannot let the disciples of Xuanhai Sect suffer a loss on our own territory!"
Eldest disciple: "Good!"
—————————————————————————
The moment Jiang Yixing stepped into Jingshan Residence, a myriad of thoughts surged into her mind, and she was overwhelmed with emotions. This place was so familiar to her, as if she had returned to her second home.
Rong Hang glanced at Jiang Yixing and keenly noticed that she had tightened her grip on his hand.
Rong Hang gently squeezed Jiang Yixing's hand, trying to calm the turmoil in Jiang's heart.
Jiang Yixing realized that his master was cultivating in the meditation room. This mountain was their sect's exclusive territory, where Xuan Hai and his two fellow disciples lived.
The master usually resides in a quiet room on the back mountain, which is very conducive to spiritual practice.
Jiang Yixing arrived at the door, suppressing his emotions, but his voice still choked up the moment he spoke, "...Master."
Her master was inside; he was the one who treated her like a father.
The door slowly opened, and Jiang Yixing's gaze met a pair of wise yet gentle eyes.
"master."
Jiang Yixing burst into tears in an instant. Her tear ducts seemed to have lost control, and tears fell like raindrops.
Her master still looked the same as when she left, always dressed in green. Although he was several times older than Jiang Yixing, he showed no signs of aging. Standing in front of Jiang Yixing, he looked like a young man in his prime.
However, his eyes now held a more sorrowful and weathered look than when Jiang Yixing left, yet they seemed to have suddenly brightened up like trees that had regained their vitality.
His master's voice, like a father's whisper, instantly soothed Jiang Yixing's restless heart: "You're back."
It was as if she had never left.
Xuan Hai simply chuckled softly, his expression unchanged, and uttered the welcoming words he always said to Jiang Yixing after he returned from a mission.
Xuan Hai's gaze swept over Jiang Yixing from head to toe, and only after confirming that she was not injured in the slightest did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Xuan Hai looked at Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang's tightly clasped hands, his gaze darkening. He gave Rong Hang a warning look before calmly asking, "What's going on between you two?"
Rong Hang could be said to have no one in the Immortal Realm who could frighten him, but Xuan Hai was one of them.
Jiang Yixing's sad mood was interrupted by her master's words. Jiang Yixing raised her two clasped hands and said, "This is... my boyfriend."
What does "boyfriend" mean?
Xuan Hai had never heard of the term "boyfriend" before, but the situation didn't prevent him from understanding its meaning.
Jiang Yixing hurriedly offered an explanation, while Rong Hang felt stiff and weak in the knees under Xuan Hai's constant scrutinizing gaze.
After listening to the explanation, Xuan Hai nodded. It turned out that a trial period was established before the contract was formed. If it didn't work out, the person would be dumped and the next relationship would begin.
After understanding her boyfriend's meaning, Xuan Hai gave Jiang Yixing an admiring look.
This is a good method; it can both prevent future tragedies and allow each other to understand each other better.
Jiang Yixing did a good job in this respect. In his opinion, Rong Hang might not be suitable for her. Of course, her little apprentice could find a few more people to test her out.
Seeing that Xuan Hai's gaze towards Rong Hang was becoming increasingly critical, Jiang Yixing quickly pulled Rong Hang behind him and asked, "Master, where are the senior brothers?"
Xuan Hai finally looked away upon hearing this, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Yan Lin went on a mission today, and I have sent a message for him to return as soon as possible."
Seeing his little apprentice looking at him expectantly, Xuan Hai's throat tightened, but he still said, "Feng Yi's Dao heart is unstable, so she went to find you and consolidate her cultivation results."
It was as if a thunderclap exploded in Jiang Yixing's ears, and her smile suddenly froze on her lips.
What does it mean to have an unstable Daoist mind?
Was Fengyi's Dao heart unstable after hearing the news about me?
Jiang Yixing: "Where did you go?"
Xuan Hai looked at the distant mountains and rivers and uttered two words: "South China Sea".
Jiang Yixing suddenly realized that Feng Yi had always been a troublemaker, and his relationship with the South China Sea Clan had always been the worst. This time, his Dao heart was unstable, so wouldn't something bad happen to him?
Jiang Yixing's tears flowed again.
After returning to the Celestial Realm, her emotions fluctuated greatly, perhaps because she trusted this land too much.
Rong Hang's heart seemed to shatter into pieces along with Jiang Yixing's tears. He hugged Jiang Yixing tightly and gently patted her back.
When the sect leader arrived, this was the scene he saw. He immediately recognized Jiang Yixing as the one being held in someone's arms, and the one holding her was none other than Rong Hang, the former idol of the young people of the Immortal Spirit Realm and now a traitor. He was furious and his hair stood on end. How could he tolerate this?
"Rong Hang! Have you no shame! You've come to bully us in our own home!"
Then he angrily rebuked Xuan Hai, "What's wrong with you? Your disciple came back to you after encountering a calamity, and you just watched her being bullied without doing anything?"
The next second, the sect leader rushed towards Rong Hang. Rong Hang's expression did not change, but he grabbed Jiang Yixing, who had not yet reacted, and dodged to the side.
The sect leader was dumbfounded and furious when he saw that Jiang Yixing had not let go of his arm even in this situation. What a lecherous scoundrel!
Rong Hang dodged several attacks from the sect leader, relying entirely on his keen judgment as a former high-level cultivator. But he couldn't do any more, after all, the sect leader of the Miaofa Sect was no pushover.
