That night, Qinji hurried to the East Courtyard.
"Miss Sheng, get up quickly."
Qin Ji stepped over the threshold, but before she entered the inner room, she saw Xiang Sheng lifting the door curtain and walking out.
Seeing her neatly dressed, Qin Ji was immediately surprised and asked, "Miss Sheng, did you expect the young master to leave overnight?"
"Just in case."
Xiang Sheng smiled and asked, "How is the situation?"
Qin Ji's expression straightened, and he said, "Miss Sheng, I told the young master what you instructed. He immediately went to find Dong Zhen's teachings and has just returned.
He and Dong Zhenchuan agreed to meet at the mountain gate and ordered me to take you back together."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, "I have already informed Fourteen about this matter in advance. Where are the others?"
Qin Ji took down the cloak by the door and put it on Xiang Sheng, while answering, "It's just outside the courtyard."
Xiang Sheng gathered his cloak closer and pursed his lips: "Then let's go."
She was the first to step out of the door and left without any regrets, and the piano immediately followed.
Xiao Tao walked out from behind the door, looking at Xiang Sheng's departing back, a tear flashed in her almond-shaped eyes.
She clasped her hands tightly together and begged silently to the sky.
May all the gods and Buddhas in the sky bless the master, and keep him safe and sound regardless of whether he returns or not.
…
In front of the mountain gate, the bright moon hangs high.
Dong Jinghuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. His plain robe seemed to be covered with a layer of silver light under the moonlight, and he looked extremely cold and elegant.
There was a sound of light footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Xiang Hongyu with Xiang Sheng and others, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Junior Brother Xiang, what are you doing..."
"Brother, this is my foolish sister, Xiang Sheng."
Xiang Hongyu pushed Xiang Sheng in front of the crowd and said apologetically, "Sheng'er misses home. Junior Brother thought that since I'm going home once, it would be convenient for me to take her with me. It won't delay anything."
"I see."
Dong Jinghuan nodded, his eyes swept over Xiang Sheng, and his eyes suddenly became deeper.
Xiang Hongyu's heart sank immediately. Was he found out?
He had clearly followed his master's instructions and placed a seal on Xiang Sheng's body to block out any sensing. With Dong Jinghuan's level of cultivation, he shouldn't have been able to detect it.
"Junior Brother Xiang, there have been rumors about your sister in the sect for a long time. Now that I see her, she is indeed beautiful. No wonder you take such good care of her."
Dong Jinghuan praised softly and said calmly, "It's getting late, how about we set off?"
Xiang Hongyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Dong Jinghuan was just like Lu Yushan, both of them were attracted by Sheng'er's beauty.
As his thoughts turned, he nodded respectfully repeatedly: "I will follow your arrangements, Senior Brother."
Dong Jinghuan didn't say anything else. He flipped his hand and a spirit boat appeared in his palm. He threw it into the air. The spirit boat immediately swelled up against the wind and grew to the size of an ordinary building ship in the blink of an eye.
A group of five people got on the boat. Dong Jinghuan made a seal with one hand and hit the hub. The spirit boat formation was immediately activated, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through the air and flew into the sky.
Dong Jinghuan sat in front of the formation and said calmly, "Junior Brother Xiang, your Xiangcheng is not far from the sect, and you can arrive before dawn. I will control the spirit boat, so you can take your sister and rest there."
"Yes, thank you, brother."
Xiang Hongyu led his men into the boathouse, instructed Qinji to look after Xiang Sheng, and then went to meditate and practice.
There were many spacious rooms in the boat house. Xiang Sheng picked one to stay in at random, while Qin Ji and Shi Si stayed in the rooms next to each other. The spiritual energy in the spirit boat was rich, and both of them cherished it very much, and took the time to breathe it in and out.
Xiang Sheng's mind was in a mess and he couldn't concentrate.
He was so upset, not because of the Xiang family's affairs, but because of Dong Jinghuan.
The moment she saw Dong Jinghuan, she immediately sensed that the second-level mask in the blood ring was moving.
Dong Jinghuan, is he also involved with the Tianyan Sect?
She frowned slightly. Dong Jinghuan was the first true disciple of Dangchen Peak and might even become the leader of Chiyan Sect in the future. How could he have any disloyalty to his master, or... have other motives?
After a short moment of deep contemplation, Xiang Sheng suddenly heard a voice in his ear, "Since Junior Sister Xiang isn't practicing, why don't you come out and talk to me?"
Xiang Sheng's heart was slightly shaken.
It’s Dong Jinghuan!
Sure enough, although the mask's movement was only for a moment, I could sense it, so there was no reason why the other party couldn't feel it.
Seeing that Xiang Sheng hadn't made any movement, Dong Jinghuan transmitted his message again, "I have blocked the senses in Xiang Hongyu's room. Junior Sister Xiang can go out without worry."
There is no way to avoid this level.
Xiang Sheng took a deep breath, stood up, opened the door and went out onto the deck.
Seeing Dong Jinghuan still sitting in front of the formation, with only his back to her, she took a few steps forward and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Brother Dong."
Dong Jinghuan turned around, smiling broadly, "I never thought that Junior Sister, a mere attendant, is also a fellow disciple. May I ask what rank Junior Sister holds in the sect?"
"Junior sister is of inferior talent, so naturally she cannot compare to senior brother."
Xiang Sheng spoke calmly, neither servile nor overbearing, "It's your identity that really surprised me. I'm just a servant in the sect, and I chose this path out of desperation. You are so respected within the sect, why would you choose to go elsewhere?"
"Poor talent?"
Dong Jinghuan didn't answer but laughed, "Junior Sister Xiang, you're so young, why are you so full of lies? If your mask is inferior to mine, how could you see through my identity?"
Xiang Sheng was shocked and remained silent.
"It seems that you don't know that the mask has such a function?"
Dong Jinghuan looked slightly surprised. "You have a second-class mask, but I don't know its specific function. It seems that you have only recently joined the Tianyan Sect, is that right?"
Xiang Sheng lowered his eyelids slightly and continued to remain silent.
Dong Jinghuan was not ready to let her go, and continued, "You are worthy of being ranked second in the Tianyan Sect. You could just turn against them and practice hard in Fangcun Collection. Why do you still want to stay with Xiang Hongyu and be persecuted by him?
