Yun Ting knew that they had made up their minds and was just asking for their opinions.
They naturally wanted to go back, but they couldn't help but ask, "But four masters, didn't you say that Lingdu is too dangerous for us? You also said... that there are enemies everywhere there. If we go back, I'm afraid it will cause a bloody storm."
The fourth Taoist nodded and said, "If you go back directly like this, it will naturally cause trouble. But what if you conceal your identity and go back secretly?"
"Ah?!" Duan Qingxi and Yun Ting were both stunned.
The Taoist Priest said, "We decided to let you go back, not because we want you to be hunted down, but because we hope you can return to Lingdu and study hard. After all, there are many more things you can learn in Lingdu than in our small Taoist temple."
After a pause, he continued, "So, to protect you, we won't tell anyone about your return to Lingdu. Of course, we still have to tell Lord Yun. After all, you're bound to run into trouble in Lingdu, so if you really can't get through, you can ask Lord Yun for help."
Yun Ting blinked and said frankly, "Isn't Le'er's father in trouble himself? I heard that now he has to be careful not to be spitted on even when drinking water."
Several Taoist priests: ...Child, please don’t be so realistic.
Duan Qingxi also felt that her adoptive father had indeed had a miserable life, but no matter what, he was still the patriarch of the Qinglong clan!
Before she could speak, the Second Taoist Priest said, "No matter how miserable Lord Yun is, he is still the patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan. Lingdu is headed by four major clans: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Of the four major clans, the Azure Dragon Clan is the most powerful. Lord Yun is the patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan, so he should not be underestimated. The other three clans should also give him some respect."
After a pause, he looked at Yun Ting and said, "Your life story, I'm sure we don't need to explain it much. You already know it. Your father was originally the patriarch of the Xuanwu clan, but because of you, your mother was forced to leave the Xuanwu clan. Your second and third uncles refused to let you go, and your father died tragically because of it. I know it's very difficult for you to go back and face them, and to do so with a smile, but only by enduring humiliation can you achieve great things. With Le'er helping you, the four of us can rest assured."
Yunting blinked and nodded.
Duan Qingxi knew that returning to Lingdu was inevitable.
In fact, you have to go back no matter whether you go back early or late, and Duan Qingxi certainly wants to go back early.
Because her intuition told her that maybe Helian Sheng could be found in Lingdu!
She asked, "Masters, when are we going to Lingdu?"
"tonight."
“How to rush?!”
"It would be good for you to go back early," the Taoist Priest said seriously. "In three months, the academy in Lingdu will start recruiting new students. You can rush back tonight, so the time is just right."
Duan Qingxi: ...Well, actually, everything has been arranged clearly for the two of them a long time ago!
As expected, the four Taoist priests did not tell anyone about their return to Lingdu, not even Madam Yun and Madam Yun. They were only told that Duan Qingxi and Yun Ting needed to go into seclusion for training with the Taoist priest, which would last for one or two years at the shortest and three or four years at the longest.
Although the two ladies felt sorry for their children, they also knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by learning more skills can they avoid being bullied.
Therefore, although I was reluctant, I could only nod and agree.
That night, Duan Qingxi and Yun Ting set out on their journey back to Lingdu.
