Wang Jingyuan was immediately placed under house arrest by his father.
It is said that he was locked in solitary confinement and never came out. At first, the servants passing by could still hear him crying, but eventually even the crying stopped, and he was not given any food. It is feared that he fainted from hunger.
The owner of Fengyu Tower was almost furious. When Wang Jingyuan returned in a disheveled state, he felt sorry for him. But when he heard that Li Mingke was missing, he couldn't catch his breath.
After a long pause, without saying a word, he took the decorative sword off the wall and, regardless of its sharpness, swung it at Wang Jingyuan. A group of people tried to pull him away, but Wang Jingyuan ran and screamed, creating a chaotic scene.
As a result, Wang Jingyuan was severely beaten by his father, and his injuries were not treated by a doctor. He was simply thrown into solitary confinement.
The fates of the others are also not optimistic.
Bai Tianshui was taken back from the Beast Taming Peak Master by the sect leader, who immediately began to berate him, bringing tears to Bai Tianshui's eyes. The Beast Taming Peak Master couldn't stop him, and Xiao Cai was also separated and taken away by the sect leader.
It is said that Bai Tianshui was also imprisoned in a forbidden area by the sect leader, and a restriction was placed on him. It is easy to enter the forbidden area but difficult to get out. It is unknown whether Bai Tianshui can survive it.
Ma Gege volunteered to accept the punishment. Her master, the Sword Pavilion Master, sighed and sent her to guard the forest.
Guarding the forest sounds easy, but it's actually teeming with ferocious beasts. Ma Gege bowed to the Sword Pavilion Master, then drew her sword and entered the forest.
Chen Zifeng's sister, Chen Ziyue, disregarded Jiang Tian's business and traveled all the way to the Immortal Sect, demanding that Chen Zifeng be severely punished. Chen Zifeng did not argue, and in the end, his master locked him up in seclusion to refine pills, saying that he was not allowed to come out until he had refined 99 top-grade pills.
The most heartbroken were none other than the Li family.
When Li Zengqing heard the report from the people of Fengyulou that Li Mingke was missing, he immediately fainted, and the servants hurriedly helped him up.
Wu Xilan and Li Pinyue detained the people from Fengyulou and demanded that they tell them everything that had happened.
The disappearance of Li Mingke was not publicized, and the Li family suppressed the matter, but secretly sent people to Piaomiao to search for him.
"Why did Jingyuan have to go to Piaomiao Realm of all places to play!" Li Zengqing cried bitterly, while Wang Laiyang looked apologetic and joined his sister in scolding their son.
"In the midst of the ethereal mist," the younger generation may not understand, but they know some inside stories—
The ethereal realm is the burial place of the half-fairy.
"If I had known they were going to the Misty Realm, I would have beaten Mingke to death rather than let her go!"
They kept it a secret, searching for all sorts of ways to hide Li Mingke's background. They thought they had made all the necessary preparations and that everything would be fine, but then, out of nowhere, a bolt from the blue struck.
They were blown up and thrown into chaos.
"Such a huge thing has happened. Even if I try to suppress the news, I can't guarantee that the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord won't find out!" Li Zengqing said angrily, his face covered in tears.
"The Misty Realm was a place personally chosen by the Demon Lord. He placed his beloved wife's remains there with his own hands, so he must have sensed it!"
Li Zengqing is right.
But Luan Hua's reaction was faster than she had expected.
"Master...Master, the Demon Lord has come to pay a visit!" The siblings were talking when the steward rushed in, his face full of tension and fear.
A voice came from outside: "Demon Lord, you cannot go in. Our master has distinguished guests! Please wait in the front hall..."
Luan Hua shoved the servant aside.
"Distinguished guest? I am the distinguished guest now!" He strode into the inner room, his anger palpable.
Li Zengqing had already composed herself, her face clear and refreshed, with no trace of tears remaining. She smiled and stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Demon Lord, what brings you to my humble abode amidst your busy schedule?"
Luan Hua glanced around the room and saw only Li Zengqing and Wang Laiyang, a brother and sister. The two cups of tea, almost empty, had lost their steam, indicating that the two had been sitting there for quite some time.
"I wonder what the Li family patriarch and the owner of Fengyu Tower were talking about just now? May I hear it too?" He waved his hand and sat down in the guest seat.
"My brother and I were just chatting about everyday things!" Li Zengqing said with her usual smile.
"Oh? Just everyday talk? I wonder if this includes your good daughter—Li Mingke?"
!!
"It's funny," Luan Hua said, propping one leg up and staring intently at the two of them. "That so-called exploration team, only four out of five came back. Guess which one didn't return?"
A drop of sweat trickled down Li Zengqing's chin.
Luan Hua was clearly satisfied with Li Zengqing's reaction. "Why isn't Patriarch Li saying anything? Don't you know?" He sneered. "Those families reacted quickly, as if they were afraid I would come knocking on their door, so they hid the person themselves."
Wang Laiyang's jaw was clenched.
Luan Huadao's eyes were like two daggers. "I wonder if Young Master Li is at home?"
Li Zengqing stared intently at him. "Sir, you've come to my Li family for our young master? I'm truly sorry, but our young master is currently in seclusion and cannot receive guests!"
"Inconvenient?" he asked coldly. "Is it inconvenient... or is it impossible?"
He stood up and paced around the two of them. “This Misty Realm is no ordinary place, you didn’t know that? I’ve placed a restriction around it.”
"How can my wife's sleeping place be disturbed by outsiders?"
Glug—
Li Zengqing's throat bobbed; she had a vague feeling that something was about to happen.
"Only I can get in. Oh, and of course there's one other person, but it's almost impossible for them to get in... Patriarch Li, Master Wang, tell me, how come they were so lucky to get in directly?"
So it was sealed off! No wonder there were records of it in the Misty Realm, yet no one could enter!
"Someone brought them in! Do you agree?"
Li Zengqing chuckled dryly, "I don't quite understand what the Demon Lord is saying."
"Don't understand?" Luan Hua didn't want to argue with them anymore, and her attitude changed instantly, like dark clouds pressing down.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Your Excellency only needs to answer one question: 'Yes' or 'No'."
"Is Li Mingke really her?" Luan Hua was like a fierce beast eyeing its prey; if the other party made the slightest move, he would pounce on it.
Li Zengqing clenched his fists so tightly he felt like he could crush his bones, but his face remained calm.
Who is the "she" that the Demon Lord speaks of?
"My wife—Lin Banjian!"
"no!"
"No?" Luan Hua laughed in exasperation. "Fine! Fine! Fine!" He clapped his hands loudly. "No!"
His eyes were bloodthirsty. "Is it true? I want to witness it for myself!"
?
Jinyun Immortal Venerable of Yixiantian also received the news; at that time, he was teaching He Banjian a book.
He Banjian raised his eyes and secretly glanced at him, "Jinyun, aren't you going to go take a look?"
Jinyun Immortal Venerable put down the book in his hand, "Even after such an incident, I still have to go."
However, since Lin Banjian later became Luan Hua's wife, he handled everything for her and couldn't get involved, so he didn't know much about the specifics.
All he knew was that Lin Banjian's body had been preserved by him using a special method and placed in the Misty Realm.
"That's enough for today's lesson. You must be tired. Tell the kitchen to prepare something nice for you."
Seeing that he was about to leave, He Ban quickly stood up as well.
"What's wrong, Banjian? Is there anything you don't understand?"
"No." She paused for a moment. "Aren't you taking me with you?"
Jinyun seemed surprised by her question, but quickly composed herself. "Luan Hua is not easy to get along with; there might be danger. Let's stay at Yixiantian for now; it's the safest place, okay?"
“…Okay.” Although the tone was gentle, the attitude was firm and left no room for argument.
She obediently agreed.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable has left; she has returned to her Xihua Pavilion.
Yes, although she also lived in Yixiantian, she did not live in Lin Banjian's former residence.
Before Jinyun Immortal Venerable brought her back to Yixiantian, she had received a secret letter from Li Zengqing.
Li Zengqing told her the whole story of what happened that chaotic night.
Therefore, in order not to expose herself as an "imposter" who cannot break the seal, she must choose another place to live.
Normally, she rarely goes near Jinyun Immortal Venerable's Rui'ai Pavilion, for fear of an accident.
Back in her room, she checked her cultivation level and found it had only increased slightly.
She didn't know if it was because of her long period of cultivation, or because one of the two men had expressed a little bit of affection for her.
That's right, she is someone who improves her spiritual cultivation through "love".
Now, with another unexpected turn of events, how long can she maintain the identity of "Lin Banjian"?
If she weren't Lin Banjian, where could she go if the real person came back?
