Two hours later, the flying sword landed on an uninhabited mountain outside Youlan City. Xuanyuan Chengze jumped off the flying sword and said goodbye to Yun Yuan.
"You must take care of yourself and stop working for Xiao Changan. We will see each other again in the future."
"What are you doing in Qingqi Mountain?" Yun Yuan asked uncertainly, "Are you here to find a Taoist priest?"
Xuanyuan Chengze stared at her face greedily without answering, which made Yun Yuan feel uneasy.
"Well, is there anything else you need my help with?"
Xuanyuan Chengze shook his head and just looked at her.
Yun Yuan curled her lips and said, "Then I'll leave. I don't know why you're here, but I wish you all the best."
She flew away on her flying sword and took out the jade pendant on the way. Sure enough, the red color on it had faded a little.
Yun Yuan was in a good mood. If she continued like this, she would be able to repay her gratitude soon.
Xuanyuan Chengze watched her fly away until her figure disappeared in the clouds, then he went down the mountain and walked towards Qingcheng Mountain.
He doesn't look for a Taoist priest, he wants to become a Taoist priest.

Loiman finally convinced herself that being a concubine was not a bad thing, but then she heard the news that the third prince had run away from his marriage, and she was immediately filled with hatred.
This time she was not taken out on, but Lord Luo still suggested that she go to the temple to meditate for a year for the sake of her reputation.
Luo Yiman was indignant: "I wasn't the one who ran away from the marriage, so why should I bear the blame? They said that the Third Prince would rather run away than leave me. They really degraded me to dust!"
"Don't listen to what people outside say. My daughter is always the best."
Madam Luo was heartbroken, but she quickly changed the subject and said, "Third Prince, if you don't want to, then don't worry. The Queen has already compensated you with the title of Princess, which is already a great gift from heaven.
When the rumors in the capital die down, I will arrange a good marriage for you. Then, you can choose whoever you like and marry him. Even if he is not a prince, you have the title of princess. No one will dare to bully you easily. Even if someone wants to plot against you, they will have to consider the consequences.
Mrs. Luo's words made Loiman's anger lessen a little, but she still didn't want to go to the temple.
Madam Luo said, "Your father has made all the arrangements. You will have people to wait on you when you go to the temple. Just think of it as a change of scenery to relax. I will visit you often."
Loiman looked reluctant, but still agreed. She did not want to compromise herself, so she took several carriages full of items and dozens of servants to the temple that Mrs. Luo mentioned - the Temple of the Quiet Girl.
It is really a coincidence that Jingnu Temple is just at the foot of the mountain of Puling Temple. The environment inside is quiet and peaceful, and all the practitioners are women. Because a princess of the previous dynasty practiced here, Jingnu Temple is quite famous in Beijing, and ladies come here to stay from time to time.
Since there were so many people with her, Loiman thought there would be no accidents. However, she didn't expect that a thief broke into her room on the first night she arrived at the Temple of Quiet Women.
The thief was not after money or sex. He ignored Loiman's pleading look and dug out her eyeballs. Then he sneered and climbed out the window to leave.
Poor Loiman's mouth was stuffed and she couldn't even make a sound for help. When the maid on night watch found her, her face was covered in blood and she had fainted. Two terrifying holes were left on her once beautiful face, making her look particularly scary.
The maid collapsed to the ground and crawled out of the door using her hands and feet. She asked someone to notify the nun in the temple. The nun did not dare to delay and notified the Luo family immediately.
When Xiao Changan went to work in the morning, he happened to meet Lord Luo. He looked hurried and had obviously returned from the palace.
What made him skip court and run out in such a hurry?
Xiao Changan noticed that he was heading out of the city and had a bad feeling.
Loiman is in the Jingnu Temple outside the city. Could something urgent have happened to her?
Xiao Changan was planning to go see her after he got off duty, but now he didn't want to wait any longer. He found someone to go to the palace to ask for leave, and followed Lord Luo quietly.
At this time, Jingnu Temple was in chaos. All the members of the Luo family had arrived, and Lord Luo was the last one to arrive.
The doctor was treating Loiman's affected area. Because it was so horrific, his face turned pale and his hands were shaking slightly. He received several glares from the Luo family.
Mrs. Luo looked at the two bloody holes on Luo Yiman's face and broke down crying: "Who is so cruel? Oh my God, my daughter's life is ruined."
Xiao Changan was still wandering outside, but when he heard what Madam Luo said, he didn't care about anything else and rushed in.
He was shocked by Loiman's miserable condition. Then he came to his senses and quickly turned his eyes away, unable to bear to look any longer.
"This...what on earth is going on?"
The Luo family also wanted to know, but after asking the servants and everyone in Jingnu Temple, no one could give a reasonable answer. Lord Luo was so angry that he wanted everyone to be buried with Loiman's eyes.
Madam Luo still had some sense and stopped Lord Luo: "No, Master! If people knew we were doing this, Yiman's reputation would be completely ruined, and you wouldn't be able to keep your official position either!"
The court's criteria for selecting censors are, first, "uprightness" and second, "honesty", and they are particularly strict in terms of moral character. If Lord Luo knowingly breaks the law and takes human life lightly, he will not have a good end.
He swung his sleeves angrily, suddenly looked at Xiao Changan, and asked him with a glimmer of hope.
"Who healed your broken leg last time? Ask him to heal Iman's eyes. If he can heal them, I will reward you handsomely."
Xiao Changan also thought of Yun Yuan. If she could exchange her heart with him, then her eyes could definitely be exchanged as well. However, the target had changed to Yiman, and he didn't know if she was willing.
