The next morning, Tu Nian and the other two got up early and said goodbye to Chen Chi.
They chatted all the way to the entrance of Yicui Tower. Tu Nian finished his conversation and said, "Miss Chi Chi, let's just drop her off here."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his smile and said softly, "Yes, even though it's only two steps away, I'm glad you're willing to let me see you off this time."
Tu Nian knew that she was talking about the incident of him running away through the window, and his neck trembled instantly. Chu Qiurong immediately curled her lips, but her laughter was glared back at her sharply.
Nie Yanchen turned his head away helplessly, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
"There won't be a next time."
Tu Nian apologized solemnly and his attitude couldn't be better.
After all, when women start to care about things, the consequences can be terrible.
Fortunately, Xu Chi was not the kind of woman who would act like a spoiled child. Seeing her embarrassment and her willingness to admit her mistake, she smiled and did not pursue the matter any further.
"I wish you all the best."
After saying goodbye to each other, the three of them set off.
Xu Chi pursed his lips until they disappeared from his sight, then he turned around gracefully and walked slowly back to Yicui Tower.
At the same time, outside the main hall of Chonghua Palace at Yuqing Gate, Lingyun's anxious voice came from afar.
"Tamazuru...Tamazuru!"
At that time, Yu Zhe and Feng Qi were playing chess. Hearing him coming over in a hurry, Yu Zhe put down the white piece in his hand and replied calmly, "It's still early. Uncle Master, why are you here in such a hurry?"
Lingyun immediately arrived, stepping onto the wind and landing at the end of the wind. He walked a few steps to the front of the hall and frowned at the two people who were playing chess leisurely. "I heard from Shuanglin that there's a disciple from the Snow Valley imprisoned in the dungeon. What's going on?"
Yuzhe looked calm and said lightly, "Really? I'm not sure. It was probably just a joke among the disciples."
"You're still hiding it from me!"
This matter was no small matter, and Lingyun's attitude suddenly became tough.
Judging from his expression, he probably knew most of the situation. Yu Zhe was silent for a moment, then stopped hiding it. "He was just a guy who came to make a fuss. We locked him up just to teach him a lesson. Uncle, there's no need to be so nervous."
"Do we have to waterboard him to teach him a lesson? Besides, that kid isn't just someone who's 'making a fuss,' he's Nie Yanchen's direct disciple! It's incredibly inconsiderate of you to let your disciple mess around like that!"
Lingyun rarely spoke so hastily, and it seemed that she was angry about this matter. Although Feng Qi didn't want to get involved in this matter, he had to turn his head to comfort her since he was here after all.
"Brother, don't be anxious. If you have something to say, please speak slowly..."
Lingyun could see what he was planning, so he waved his sleeves and said, "Don't try to smooth things over here. How dare you say you don't know about this? I just want to ask, if I don't intervene, how long do you plan to keep this secret from me?"
Feng Qi didn't expect him to be so angry today and was speechless for a moment. Fortunately, Yu Zhe, who was sitting opposite him, remained calm and spoke up for him.
"Master Feng Qi and I are doing this for your own good. Master, you've been busy with external affairs lately, and the sect has a lot of things going on. If I were to ask about everything one by one, it would inevitably be exhausting."
He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant. For a moment, Lingyun saw in him the appearance of his senior brother, Liao Xianli, who was also Yuzhe's master and the leader of the Yuqing Sect.
With a sudden jolt in his heart, Lingyun unconsciously pursed his lips. After a moment, he tentatively said, "I know what you're thinking. Borrowing a disciple to attack you might not affect you, but it might affect the sect. Truth will come to light. If Nie Yanchen finds out, he'll come after us."
"Since Master knows what I'm thinking, there's no need to persuade me any further. As for Nie Yanchen,"
Yu Zhe reached out steadily and made another move. "If he wants to find it, let him find it. At this juncture, using force will only lead to trouble."
Lingyun just felt his brain go blank.
Yuzhe's answer proved that his guess was correct. He was really going to attack the Snow Valley just like Liao Xianli did.
"But that's all from the past generation."
Lingyun took a deep breath, but still couldn't hide the bitterness in his voice. "The past is a thing of the past, and my brother is about to retire. The people in the Snow Valley have nothing to do with you. It's just a big competition. Why do you have to embarrass them?"
Lifting an eyelid, Yu Zhe tilted his head, his calm face showing no emotion. "The previous generation had its own conflicts, and so does this one. Do you really think Nie Yanchen wouldn't feel resentful after watching his master die before his eyes?"
Looking at his eyes that looked very much like Liao Xianli's, Lingyun clenched his fists, "But after all, he is..."
"Nothing. As long as the Snow Valley doesn't come out, everything will be fine. But if Nie Yanchen has such thoughts, I will definitely not let them have their way. And that Tu Nian."
Turning back, a different emotion flashed in Yuzhe's eyes. "She betrayed her master and stole so much from Youzhi. I was being merciful by not confronting her face to face. Now that she's gone, it's her fellow disciples who will receive the same lesson."
"You are the leader of a sect, how can you do things so frivolously?"
Lingyun was unwilling to give in and wanted to persuade him again, but before he could finish his words, a disciple outside Chonghua Palace reported, "Master, Master, something bad has happened! The master of Jixue Valley said that our sect has detained his people. They have already broken into the sect and are heading towards the dungeon!"
"Bang".
There was a muffled sound. Yu Zhe frowned and slammed the table, then stood up coldly, "He is really so bold!"
In his expectation, with the big competition approaching, Nie Yanchen should be cautious for the sake of the sect's reputation, but he didn't expect that when the truth came out, this man would disregard all else and go to save this mere disciple.
It's ridiculous!
"What a sin, what a sin!"
