Chapter 14 Silver Moon (IV) “If you have anything to say, leave it in…”
"Let's talk about it later." Ye Tinghe appeared from behind Liu Qianhe, his brows furrowed and his face looked very solemn.
Chi Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief, "Elder Ye."
The Nightmare Beast naturally knew that Ye Tinghe was the person who posed the greatest threat to her, so it attacked Ye Tinghe with its strongest attack.
Ye Tinghe did not dodge. An illusion appeared around her. A huge Buddha statue was holding a lotus flower in its hand. With a slight wave of the flower branch, the nightmare beast's body broke into two pieces.
Purple-blue blood splattered on the ground, and the body of the Nightmare Beast gradually shrank, revealing the corpse of the witch inside.
Ye Tinghe just walked forward slowly, closed the eyes of the corpse, and soon the corpse disappeared.
At this moment, Ye Tinghe stood with his hands behind his back, "Well, it's time to go meet the person who refined the Nightmare Beast, the culprit this time."
Ye Tinghe led the way, and the remaining four followed closely behind. Yin Yueying, who was standing in front of the hall, looked calm, but there was a little blood at the corner of her lips, and she was obviously injured.
"I didn't expect you were still alive." Yin Yueying looked calm, but the truth was already obvious. Yin Yueying was the one who refined and controlled the Nightmare Beast, and she suffered a backlash once the Nightmare Beast died.
Ye Tinghe's expression could still be described as calm. "Yes, I'm still alive. Perhaps God has allowed me to live just to stop you at this moment."
Yin Xuechan never expected that the culprit was actually her own mother. "Mother, what on earth is going on?"
Seeing her biological daughter, Yin Yueying's calm expression finally cracked. "Originally, I didn't want you to know, Xuechan, we should all be considered descendants of the Wu clan."
Yin Xuechan murmured, "Witch Clan..." It was obvious that she was unable to accept this huge information for a while.
Chi Wanyin and Song Qingtang were also shocked. In addition to Elder Ye, there were actually descendants of the Wu clan still alive in the world.
Ye Tinghe was still very solemn, "Sister, why did you use the corpses of our people to refine the Nightmare Beast?"
It turned out that the two were sisters. Yin Yueying was silent for a moment, then said, "If you hadn't come, these two young people would have been buried here, and this secret would have been kept."
"Why are you so stubborn?" Ye Tinghe's face was already filled with anger, and he reached out to restrain Yin Yueying while speaking.
She glanced down at her condescendingly, "Your crime of using forbidden techniques is unforgivable. The Immortal Alliance will not let you go."
Yin Yueying laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. "I did this just to rebel against the Way of Heaven. The Way of Heaven predicted that the Wu clan would be destroyed, so I used the Nightmare Beast to drive it. I don't believe in this bullshit Way of Heaven."
"Be careful, she's going to self-destruct." Chi Wanyin warned. Song Qingtang had already drawn the Sword of Passing Water to protect her behind him, while Liu Qianhe stopped Yin Xuechan who wanted to move forward.
Ye Tinghe protected the four people behind him. After a huge burst of white light, the once magnificent palace turned into dust. Yin Xuechan looked at the smoke and dust, feeling unprecedented despair in his heart.
Seeing her sister's determination, Ye Tinghe's hands trembled slightly in her sleeves, but she still said to Yin Xuechan, who was sitting on the ground, "Xuechan, the burden of Silver Moon Valley will fall on you in the future."
Yin Xuechan was already sobbing. No matter how rebellious she was, she still had feelings for the mother who had raised her. However, she quickly wiped away her tears and said, "I will cultivate to the Golden Core stage. The Lord of Silver Moon Valley cannot be so weak."
"I will also stay here. There are still many things that need my attention, including the affairs of the Wu Clan." Ye Tinghe said to Liu Qianhe, "You are the eldest sister. From now on, all the affairs of Liuyun Peak will be handled by you."
Liu Qianhe simply responded, "Yes, Master." She had grown up and knew what she needed to take on now.
After Liu Qianhe sent Yin Xuechan to settle down, there was already a hint of fatigue between her brows. Ye Tinghe stroked Chi Wanyin's head and said, "Good children, you two did a good job." As she spoke, she glanced at Song Qingtang.
"As for the Tongsheng Gu, I won't tell the head sister. You guys should keep it. Maybe it will be useful in the future." Ye Tinghe said.
Chi Wanyin knew that they couldn't hide it from her, but she never thought that she would let them leave the Tongsheng Gu behind.
"Thank you, Elder Ye." Chi Wanyin and Song Qingtang expressed their gratitude sincerely.
Ye Tinghe waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm old now, and the sect is now ruled by young people like you. I'm looking forward to the emergence of two geniuses in the sect in the future."
When the two returned, they saw Liu Qianhe standing in front of the bamboo building. "Now we can finally sit down and talk."
The three of them entered the building together. Liu Qianhe sat down and poured herself a cup of hot tea. "I'm afraid I won't have as much free time to refine pills in the future when I'm busy. But, Junior Sister Wanyin, do you still remember your friend, Fellow Daoist Xu?"
"What's wrong?" Chi Wanyin looked puzzled, but Song Qingtang did not say anything.
"It's nothing. I saw that she had some talent in alchemy, so I let her learn it at Chuyun Peak. It's a good opportunity to use you two to test...test the medicine." Liu Qianhe realized that he almost let the cat out of the bag.
Chi Wanyin couldn't help but smile, "Senior Sister Qianhe, you are really..." But she still liked the current Liu Qianhe, who was much better than the Liu Qianhe who chased her with golden needles in her previous life.
As the two were talking, Song Qingtang remained silent. Chi Wanyin knew that she must have something on her mind. In fact, she also had doubts in her heart. What was the way of heaven that Yin Yueying mentioned? Chi Wanyin did not believe in fate, but what if all the pain she experienced in her previous life was controlled by others?
Could it be that Xu Anzhi discovered this and defected from Silver Moon Valley?
When Chi Wanyin thought of this, she felt it was absurd. If her life was a script written by others, then even the heavens were laughing at her. How pitiful and sad.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Qianhe said, "Okay, I'll go back first. I guess Yin Xuechan has woken up by now." She had sealed her meridians with golden needles to force her to rest, and now it was almost time to unblock them.
After Liu Qianhe left, Song Qingtang noticed that something was wrong with Chi Wanyin. "Junior sister, why are your hands shaking?"
Since her rebirth, Chi Wanyin rarely lost her composure, but she quickly recovered and simply said, "Senior Sister, if your life was just like the ending written in the storybook, what would you do?"
She was really curious about what Song Qingtang would do.
Song Qingtang remained calm, "I don't believe in fate. If the ending is predetermined, then I will do my best to change it."
Chi Wanyin smiled brightly when she heard that. She rarely showed such an expression. Song Qingtang thought that she was introverted and never showed her emotions.
"Senior Sister, what if that person is Tiandao?" Chi Wanyin restrained the smile on her face.
"That would go against the will of heaven. Moreover, spiritual practice is to go against the will of heaven and fight for a glimmer of hope for survival." Song Qingtang replied to her.
Seeing her high-spirited appearance, Chi Wanyin couldn't help but say, "You haven't changed."
But she didn't continue the topic, "Senior Sister, if one day, the Heavenly Dao wants me to die, I hope I can die by your hands."
Song Qingtang frowned, "I told you I won't kill you, why are you worrying so much?"
"It's different, Senior Sister. Heaven won't let me live." Chi Wanyin seemed indifferent.
Song Qingtang looked at her as if he knew everything, and he was so angry that he couldn't move his hands.

When the three of them boarded the flying boat back to Yantian Sect, Liu Qianhe always felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Both of them were silent, as if they had some disagreement, leaving her in the middle.
While the flying boat was taking off, Liu Qianhe couldn't help but whisper to Chi Wanyin, "What happened to you sisters?"
"It's just a small dispute." Chi Wanyin said calmly, "Senior Sister Qianhe, don't worry. Everything will be fine once you figure it out."
Liu Qianhe was speechless for a moment. She knew very well that Song Qingtang looked silent but was actually famous for his good temper. Could it be that Chi Wanyin had made him angry?
She sighed inwardly, thinking that the person who tied the bell must untie it, so she would not get involved.
The flying boat was traveling at an extremely high speed, and in just half a day, they had already reached the territory under the jurisdiction of Yantian Sect. However, since it was a rare opportunity to leave the sect, Liu Qianhe didn't want to return so soon, so he suggested, "Why don't we stay here for the night? I heard there will be a lantern festival tonight."
Chi Wanyin and Song Qingtang did not object to this proposal, and the three of them randomly found an inn to stay in. When night fell, Liu Qianhe went out early. After all, seeing the two of them in their current state, she didn't want to invite them rashly.
Song Qingtang was originally meditating and practicing breathing exercises, but she saw Chi Wanyin tugging at the corner of her clothes, "It's so lively outside, Senior Sister, come with me for a walk."
Song Qingtang was silent. Chi Wanyin knew that she was still angry about what she had said before. Thinking that it would be better to resolve this misunderstanding, she said, "Senior Sister, I shouldn't have said those things to make you worry."
"Junior sister, if you don't believe me, I can swear a blood oath." Song Qingtang said.
For monks, a blood oath is an extremely serious oath, and if violated, they will suffer harm.
Chi Wanyin immediately stopped her, "Senior Sister, why do you have to do this? I naturally believe you."
After a moment, she sighed and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Let's go watch the lantern festival first."
"Okay." Seeing her like this, Song Qingtang's expression finally eased a little.
The two of them changed into the standard clothes of the Mortal Realm. Chi Wanyin was dressed in bright and fiery clothes, with coral beads hanging down her head. Song Qingtang was dressed in a simple and elegant white dress, with only a white jade hairpin holding up her bun. From a distance, they looked like a pair of twin flowers.
The city was brightly lit, as bright as day.
The two went to buy lanterns together, and Chi Wanyin fell in love with the lotus lantern at first sight. The craftsman who made it had great skills, and it looked so real that it could be mistaken for a real one.
Song Qingtang paid, and the lantern vendor couldn't help but praise him, "My lady, you have a good eye. These lotus lanterns were all bought in the city as gifts for your sweetheart."
Chi Wanyin's hand that was about to take the lamp paused when she heard that, but when she saw that Song Qingtang looked normal, she felt that this was probably just a custom in the mortal realm, so she didn't take it to heart.
She held a lotus lantern, and the two of them walked for a long time until they stopped in front of a restaurant.
