Xianyun Inn.
In a spacious guest room, Rong Qingxian and her seven female disciples reunited after half a year.
"Zi Ling, you said you found Yuan'er a long time ago? Where is he?"
You Rongqingxian asked excitedly, "Back then, we split into three groups to look for Chi Yuan. Apart from the group led by Lu Ziling, Su Ningyan, and Ning Wan'er, the other two groups have searched most of the Daqian Kingdom over the past six months without finding any news about Chi Yuan. I never expected that Lu Ziling's group had already found Chi Yuan four or five months ago, and that he was in Jingyang City, where Ye Chen's family lives."
Yu Qingli, Leng Feiruo, Yue Qianrou, and Mu Lingyun were also very excited. They originally did not want to come to Jingyang City to watch Ye Chen's five-year challenge, but they had no other places to go, so they could only try their luck here. They did not expect that Chi Yuan was really here!
Lu Ziling and the other two were not happy at all, especially Ning Wan'er, whose eyes were ashen and lifeless. She sat blankly by the bed, holding the Blazing Cloud Sword, as if her soul had been stripped away.
Lu Ziling was equally dejected, but she still mustered her spirits and said bitterly, "Master, Senior Brother has completely changed. He... doesn't recognize us anymore..."
Lu Ziling then recounted in detail her experiences after reuniting with Chi Yuan a few months ago.
At first, Rong Qingxian, Yu Qingli, and the other three were very excited and happy, but after listening to Lu Ziling's story, their mood became heavy.
They guessed that Chi Yuan might hate them, but they didn't expect it to be to this extent that he wouldn't even want to see them...
"I'm going to find Yuan'er; he will definitely see me, his master!"
With her mind set on winning back Chi Yuan, You Rong Qingxian got up and prepared to go to the Wenren Mansion to find him.
"Master, wait!"
Lu Ziling hurriedly spoke up to stop him, her expression somewhat complicated, and said, "Please forgive my bluntness, but Senior Brother may be even less willing to see Master."
Why is that?
Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
Lu Ziling sighed softly and said, "Master, do you still remember what Senior Brother said to you when he left the sect? Senior Brother had already guessed that Ye Chen was framing him, and he most likely believed that you, Master, secretly gave Ye Chen the Divine Incense and conspired with him to frame him..."
"What? I... how could I possibly frame Yuan'er? How could Yuan'er think I had any ill intentions towards him?!"
You Rongqingxian looked stunned. She had actually thought about it in this way, but she was more willing to believe that Chi Yuan was just saying it in anger. After all, she and Chi Yuan had such a deep master-disciple relationship. How could Chi Yuan really think that she would secretly frame his most beloved disciple?
But now that she knows Chi Yuan's ruthless attitude towards Lu Ziling and the other two, she suddenly feels uncertain. Does Chi Yuan really think that she was the one who sabotaged things behind the scenes?
"Senior Sister Lu, Master would never frame Senior Brother. You have no idea how obsessed Master has been with finding Senior Brother these past six months. Whenever he sees someone whose figure resembles Senior Brother even slightly, he becomes disoriented and thinks that Senior Brother has been found."
"Moreover, during this period, Master has recalled her past with Senior Brother countless times, and she cried her eyes out every time she recalled it. Given her feelings for Senior Brother, how could she possibly harm him?"
Mu Lingyun frowned and said that she had been following You Rong Qingxian for the past six months and knew how deep You Rong Qingxian's master-disciple relationship with Chi Yuan was. She absolutely did not believe that You Rong Qingxian would frame Chi Yuan, even though You Rong Qingxian's state at the time was very abnormal and she was possessed.
Lu Ziling shook her head slightly: "Of course I know that Master would not harm Senior Brother, but Senior Brother probably thinks so. If he didn't think that someone wanted to harm him, why would he have such great hatred for us?"
You Rong Qingxian's face turned pale, then she gritted her teeth and said, "Then I must go see Yuan'er even more. He has a deep misunderstanding about me, and I must clear it up!"
“Master, Zi Ling still thinks you shouldn’t go to see your senior brother now. Perhaps you should go see your aunt first.”
Lu Ziling said seriously.
Su Ningyan nodded in agreement: "Master, now only Aunt Shi can speak to Senior Brother, and she is willing to help us win him back. If you want to see Senior Brother, you should ask Aunt Shi for help."
"I understand, I'll go find your aunt right now."
You Rong Qingxian made a quick decision and immediately left the Immortal Fortune Inn to find You Rong Qingyan.
...
Inside the secluded courtyard of You Rong Qing Yan, in the boudoir on the second floor of the palace.
Elegant and radiant, cold yet alluring, You Rong Qingyan stood by the window, her back to You Rong Qingxian, and said softly, "Xian'er, you've come to see me, have you made up your mind?"
You Rong Qingxian was somewhat confused and asked, "Sister, what kind of plan are you talking about?"
"My silly sister, your reaction is still as slow as ever."
You Rongqingyan turned around, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and said, "You came to me simply to see the master through me... to see your disciple Chi Yuan. But have you considered what would happen to Ye Chen if you won him back? Didn't you think about this before you came to me?"
You Rongqingxian frowned and fell silent.
"I can tell you clearly that he hates Ye Chen very much and is destined to be irreconcilable with Ye Chen, even to the point of fighting to the death. If it really develops to that point, my little fairy, will you stand on Ye Chen's side or on your good disciple's side?"
You Rongqingyan spoke in a languid voice.
Rong Qingxian trembled and became even more speechless.
"I know you may still have a sliver of hope that they can ease their tensions, but let me tell you, their relationship will never be able to ease, because Chi Yuan has already tried to kill Ye Chen, and is still plotting to kill Ye Chen now."
As she spoke, You Rong Qingyan took a step forward and flashed to You Rong Qingxian's shoulder. Her eyes flashed with a dark light, and she asked in a questioning tone, "Xian'er, let me ask you, back then, was it you who instructed Ye Chen to frame Chi Yuan?"
Still reeling from the shock of You Rong Qingyan's earlier words, You Rong Qingxian instinctively replied to the question, "I treat Yuan'er like my own son. How could I possibly instruct Ye Chen to frame him?"
You Rong Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although she knew that You Rong Qingxian was unlikely to harm Chi Yuan and that Pei Qingyun was probably behind it all, she was still a little worried until You Rong Qingxian confirmed it herself. Now she could finally relax.
"That's good."
You Rongqingyan chuckled and spoke.
These three words sent a jolt through You Rong Qingxian's heart. Even if she was slow to react, she could tell that You Rong Qingyan was on Chi Yuan's side. She couldn't help but ask in a daze, "Sister, are you on Chi Yuan's side?"
"Yes, of course I'm on his side."
You Rong Qingyan said matter-of-factly, adding in her mind: If I don't stand on Master's side, on whose side should I stand? Xian'er's stance is a serious problem; it must be corrected quickly, and we absolutely cannot let her cause trouble for Master!
