The next day, when Leng Yan woke up, she was the only one in the room. She got out of bed, tied her hair with a hairband, and then went back to her room to wash up.
When Wen Shi came back, Leng Yan was no longer in the room, only the faint scent of snow lotus on Leng Yan remained.
Then Wen Shi heard the sound of a door opening from the room next to him. He turned around and met Leng Yan's eyes as she was about to go out.
Wen Shi smiled and said to Leng Yan, "Yan'er, it's time to return to the sect. Is there anything you didn't bring?" Leng Yan shook her head and said, "No."
Wen Shi turned around and said, "Let's go." Leng Yan followed Wen Shi's pace.
Leng Yan and Wen Shidao knew that the other disciples on the spiritual boat had already arrived. Leng Yan originally wanted to go to the deck to stay with the other disciples, but was stopped by Wen Shi and taken to the cabin.
Inside the room, Leng Yan and Wen Shi sat quietly. Seeing that they were silent, Leng Yan took out a book of mental skills and read it.
A morning passed like this, and in the afternoon a disciple knocked on the door and said someone was looking for Leng Yan. Wen Shi was about to tell them to get out when he saw Leng Yan put away his mental skills, stood up and walked out.
Leng Yan looked at the disciple in front of her and asked, "Who is looking for me?" The disciple lowered his head and said, "That person claims to be your good friend, Senior Sister." Leng Yan nodded and said, "Take me there."
The disciple led Leng Yan to the deck. When Leng Yan reached the deck, she saw Xing Luo flying on a sword beside the spirit boat. Xing Luo looked at Leng Yan with reluctance in his eyes and said, "Jiayang, I will be returning to the sect soon. You take care of yourself in Qingyuan Sect."
Leng Yan nodded and said, "You too." Then he took out the wooden box he got yesterday from the space and handed it to Xing Luo, saying, "This is for you."
Xing Luo opened it and when he saw what was inside, he immediately closed the lid and said, "No, this is too valuable. I can't have it."
As he was about to return the wooden box to Leng Yan, he saw Leng Yan turn and leave. Xing Luo sighed when he saw this. Why did Jia Yang become so cold again? But the disciple in front of him urged him to do so, so Xing Luo had no choice but to put away the wooden box and fly forward on his sword.
Leng Yan didn't know that everyone in the cabin had changed their expressions after she left. Gong Cang looked at Wen Shi and sneered, "Big Brother, how come you can't even keep one person here?"
Wen Shi glanced at him coldly and said, "Gong Cang, are you itching for trouble again?" Gong Cang said fearlessly, "Why are you not happy after hearing a few words from you? I don't believe you'll hit me in front of Yan'er when she's around."
At this moment, Leng Yan's cold voice sounded at the door: "You can also pretend that I'm not here."
Gong Cang's smirk disappeared immediately. Wen Shi saw murderous intent in Gong Cang's eyes. Gong Cang silently pulled his chair back. The beating from the eldest brother hurt so much that he couldn't bear it.
Wen Shi looked at Leng Yan and asked with a smile, "Is Yan'er's work done so quickly?" Leng Yan just glanced at Wen Shi indifferently, and then walked back to her original position.
After Leng Yan sat down, Wen Shi leaned towards Leng Yan and leaned closer to her. His white hair slid down with the movement. Leng Yan saw Wen Shi's white hair and raised her eyelids to glance at Wen Shi. Then, she took the book in one hand and grabbed a strand of Wen Shi's white hair with the other hand and played with it in her hand, but her eyes were always fixed on the book in front of her.
Therefore, Leng Yan did not see the envious looks of Qingyu and the others.
The Qingyuan Sect had a strange rule: members of the Qingyuan Sect were forbidden from dyeing their hair. Failure to do so would result in punishment according to the sect's rules, with their cultivation revoked and expulsion from the sect. This rule originated because Leng Yan was fascinated by Wen Shi's white hair, which made the other three jealous. Wen Shi, in order to prevent Qingyu and the others from dyeing their hair white, had deliberately added this rule to the sect's rules.
Qingyu and the other two hated Wen Shi so much but they could do nothing about it.
At this time, Leng Yan said to Wen Shi, "Master, I also want to go to the disciple-recruiting meeting in a few days." Wen Shi frowned. He didn't like other people's eyes on Leng Yan. He asked, "What do you want to do?"
Leng Yan turned her gaze back to the book and said, "I haven't seen a disciple-recruiting conference since I joined the Qingyuan Sect. I'm just a little curious."
Wen Shi said, "There are people who will take care of the matter of accepting a disciple. Besides, there are all kinds of people there, it's very dirty, so Yan'er should not go there."
Seeing this, Qingyu said to Wen Shi, "Master, I can look after Yan'er. I'll take Yan'er with me. Is that okay?" Wen Shi said to Qingyu in a somewhat irritated tone, "No need. I'll go to the disciple-recruiting meeting too."
Qingyu frowned. He had always been the one to attend the disciple-recruiting conference in the past. The number of times Wen Shi had attended the conference over the past few hundred years could be counted on one hand. He had thought that Wen Shi would not go this year either, but he did not expect that he would actually go this year.
Han Qing and Gong Cang, who were standing by, also said they were going to attend the disciple recruitment conference. Wen Shixiang was so angry that he killed them all and buried them where Leng Yan couldn't see them.
Finally, Leng Yan said to Wen Shi, "Master, if they want to go, then go." After hearing what Leng Yan said, Wen Shi had no choice but to compromise.
At this time, Leng Yan was calculating in his mind that there was still a week before the disciple-recruiting conference, and the poison he had given Qingyu and the others could not last more than three days. Moreover, there was nothing important in the sect during the three days when they were poisoned. The best thing was to poison a few people today. After the poison in their bodies was eliminated, there were still four days, which was enough for them to prepare for the disciple-recruiting conference.
So Leng Yan found time to go out. That evening, while the four of them were discussing cultivation with Leng Yan, a disciple brought them tea.
The four of them, their mouths dry from talking, each poured themselves a cup of tea and drank it. A moment later, Qingyu and the other two felt sharp pains all over their bodies. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. Wen Shi was stunned by this, then looked at Leng Yan, only to see that Leng Yan still looked indifferent and distant.
After seeing this, Wen Shi realized that it was Leng Yan who poisoned the three people.
Leng Yan looked at the three people with some surprise and asked, "How did you get poisoned?"
Then his tone returned to his usual coldness as he said, "I ordered it."
