At the time, no one suspected that the disciple's death was suspicious, and the matter was left unresolved.
Therefore, when Xingqiu made this point, anyone who knew the inside story believed him, and for a time everyone condemned Lin Han.
Mu Yan tried his best to defend her, but no one was willing to believe him. Some even said rudely, "You're trying so hard to cover for her because of your ambiguous relationship!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze towards Mu Yan instantly changed, their expressions filled with disdain.
"I never imagined that the master and disciple would be like this."
"How disgusting. I never expected that Elder Lin, who is usually so aloof, would be so dissolute in private."
"This is truly a disgrace to the family."
Upon hearing everyone constantly insulting Lin Han's reputation, Mu Yan clenched his fists and asked Xing Qiu, "Demon King! You're trying to sow discord during a major battle; you've certainly mastered a clever scheme!"
Xingqiu laughed loudly and said bluntly, "You think you're worthy of playing tricks?"
"I'm just here to kindly answer your questions. You're so weak, conquering you would be a piece of cake. For A Yao's sake, I won't fight you today. We'll meet again someday."
After saying that, Xing Qiu picked up Li Yao and gave an order to the demon soldiers before disappearing.
After Xing Qiu left, the demon soldiers fled in all directions, breaking through the cultivators' encirclement and rushing towards the village.
What followed was a small-scale massacre. While killing demons, Mu Yan once again witnessed the brutal slaughter of civilians, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
Once the demon soldiers had been nearly killed, they immediately withdrew from the battle and disappeared into the black mist.
After the small-scale war ended, the people from all the major sects dispersed, but some disciples of the Qingxuan Sect demanded that Elder Lin Han be removed from his position.
The calls grew louder and louder, and some even began to advocate for expelling Lin Han and Mu Yan from the sect.
At this moment, Li Tao was utterly helpless. He couldn't believe that his junior sister would do such a thing, but public opinion was overwhelming, so he had no choice but to dismiss Elder Lin Han from her position.
Then he gave an order that Mu Yan was not allowed to enter any other part of Xuehan Peak.
This is tantamount to a disguised form of confinement.
When Mu Yan returned to Xuehan Peak, he noticed some traces of lightning at the cave entrance. He rushed in to check if Lin Han was alright, only to find that she was not inside at all.
He searched everywhere but found no trace of Lin Han. It seemed that he had left Qingxuan Sect, but he was afraid that Lin Han might suddenly return one day, so he waited at Xuehan Peak for many years.
For more than a decade, he cultivated in silence. Sometimes when he went down the mountain to collect magical artifacts, he would be humiliated by some disciples. But he dared not cause any more trouble. If the sect leader banished him from the mountain, how would he find his master?
So they had no choice but to swallow their anger, but long-term suppression always breeds evil.
Whenever he is insulted, he doesn't retaliate immediately, but instead devises a long-term plan to slowly take revenge.
Years later, everyone suffered a loss, but no one could say anything, and gradually no one dared to bully him anymore.
After reviewing all the plot points, Lin Han felt exhausted and heartbroken.
Mu Yan was only sixteen years old at the time, still a minor, just a child, yet he suffered such treatment; it was truly tragic.
"The most urgent thing now is to reduce Mu Yan's 'darkening' value. Otherwise, he's really too dangerous. He's like a firecracker, ready to explode at any moment," Xiao Meng complained helplessly.
Lin Han agreed with Xiao Meng's point of view.
After figuring out the whole story, Lin Han left her room and immediately saw Mu Yan guarding her door.
"Is Master going out?" Mu Yan was squatting in front of Lin Han's door. When he saw Lin Han open the door, he immediately stood up and asked.
Lin Han shook her head. "It's too stuffy inside. I came out for a walk. Why are you squatting here?" she asked Mu Yan.
Mu Yan didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he pulled Lin Han to the stone table, made her sit down, and then asked her, "Isn't Master curious about what has happened in the past ten years?"
Lin Han already knew the whole story, so she wasn't curious. But in order to have something to say later, she pretended to be very interested.
Looking at Lin Han, whose face was full of curiosity, Mu Yan told her about what had happened over the years, avoiding the important points, but not mentioning that she had been dismissed and misunderstood.
After listening to Mu Yan's words, Lin Han pretended to think and then asked Mu Yan, "Xiao Yan, would you like to go out and travel?"
Lin Han decided that the first step to eliminate the blackening value was to take Mu Yan away from this unfriendly sect. The two of them went on a solo journey, and took the opportunity to settle accounts with the magical artifacts that had been stolen from the original owner and some of the hatred.
Lin Han's question hit the nail on the head for Mu Yan, and he was naturally very willing to answer it.
Seeing his state, Lin Han made a quick decision to take him down the mountain that very night.
As night fell and the stars shone brightly, Lin Han led Mu Yan on a journey to other continents.
...
"Oh, sir, are you looking for a room or something else?"
"Check in, get two rooms, and have the food brought up."
Lin Han, disguised as a man, spoke to the waiter.
"Sir, it's really unfortunate. We've had a lot of customers these past few days, and we only have one room left. How about two of you share one room? What do you think?" the waiter asked.
Seeing that it was getting late and that they might have to camp out in the wild if they continued walking, Lin Han decided to get off.
After they paid, the waiter led them upstairs.
"Senior brother, you eat first."
Lin Han made Mu Yan call him that, because calling him "Master" would be too eye-catching. It was better to keep a low profile when they were out and about. So Lin Han forced Mu Yan to call him "Senior Brother".
"No need, we're just traveling, no need for formalities. Let's sit down and eat," Lin Han said.
Although cultivators do not need to eat, Lin Han would occasionally satisfy his cravings.
Lin Han ate and drank, and occasionally refilled Mu Yan's glass, but Lin Han drank most of the wine.
Gradually, Lin Han felt extremely hot, and only when she saw that Mu Yan was also seeing double did she realize that she seemed to have drunk too much.
Looking at Mu Yan, whose face was slightly flushed but whose expression was clear, I was about to speak when I involuntarily fell asleep on the table.
Mu Yan looked at Lin Han, who was completely drunk and unconscious, his eyes filled with doting affection.
"Master, you're drunk. Let me help you to rest," Mu Yan said, looking at Lin Han, who was lying unconscious on the table.
Lin Han vaguely heard Mu Yan say that he was drunk, but her mouth was faster than her brain, and she shouted, "Who's drunk! I'm not drunk, I can still drink!"
Mu Yan looked at Lin Han, who was starting to act crazy because of her drunkenness, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still helped her to bed and covered her with a blanket.
But as soon as the blanket was put on, Lin Han kicked it away, while her little mouth kept shouting, "It's hot, don't cover yourself with the blanket!"
