The person who walked out of the stone gate was still wearing a white silk robe, which had been changed by the disciples of Yandan Sect before the encoffining. He had an ordinary face, but his expression was extremely arrogant. He was Yang Wei, whose soul had been taken away in Gefeng Town.
"He...he's dead, isn't he?" Su Mo'er asked, then immediately fell silent. Behind Yang Wei, another person stepped out, gave Yang Wei a slight glare, and then stopped shouting.
Geng Qi's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the person who had come back to life in the cave, and then at the person who appeared behind him. Was there anything he didn't understand about Yang Wei faking his death?
Seeing that the man was looking over, Geng Qi immediately shrank back and turned around, saying, "Let's leave here first."
He could easily barge in alone, but now that the female lead is a burden, he's not confident he can figure everything out without alerting anyone.
Su Mo'er knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of things, so she nodded and turned to leave first.
Inside the Bone Rock Cave, Yang Tianhui placed his hand on Yang Wei's head to check that his soul was unharmed before letting out a sigh of relief. He then turned to a disciple in the cave and said, "Take the young master back to rest."
"yes."
Yang Wei was supported by one hand. He turned his head as if to speak but hesitated for a long time. In the end, he said nothing and quietly walked towards the cave entrance.
After watching the person leave, the last bit of gentleness on Yang Tianhui's face vanished instantly. He took the message handed to him by a disciple, quickly read it, and frowned, saying, "Rong Yu didn't return to Tianzhi Sect?"
"Yes, after the meeting with the sect leader, I temporarily moved into Chengyun Pavilion."
Yang Tianhui lowered his eyes, thinking that the man was still suspicious. Reassured that the people were now under their control, he asked, "What about the other two? Any news?"
"Yes." The messenger bowed and said, "A disciple found the two people in an inn in Gefeng Town. According to the innkeeper, there were two people staying in the rooms, but only one boy went out."
The other one was someone who never left the village office, so Yang Tianhui didn't think anything was wrong. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he ordered, "Bring more people and bring the body back."
"yes."
The response was swift and decisive, and the disappearance was equally rapid.
Two other people were even faster than them. Geng Qi took Su Mo'er back to her "hiding place" and realized that her previous comment about "being good-looking" was not meant as an insult.
The two stood outside a courtyard filled with spiritual energy. The courtyard walls were made of petrified wood and covered with red tiles. This single courtyard was larger than the village head's residence in Gefeng Town, clearly the residence of a high-ranking figure from the Yandan Sect. Peeking over the wall, they saw several maids pacing frantically inside. One of them stood in the courtyard and angrily shouted at them, "If you can't find the person, I'll kill you all!"
Geng Qi pointed to the courtyard and said to Su Mo'er, "Looking for...you?"
"..."
As expected, I was glared at.
"He is the young master of the Yan Dan Sect." After a brief introduction, Su Mo'er didn't elaborate further, and instead asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Despite carrying such a burden, he effortlessly avoided all the magic arrays and mechanisms of the Yan Dan Sect without being discovered by anyone!
She went to the Bone Rock Cave because the sudden appearance of the signal talisman threw the disciples of the Yan Dan Sect into chaos. It was only because a distinguished guest arrived and called away the owner of the courtyard that she had a chance to escape. She thought this person was like her, but now it seems that this person was probably the culprit behind the previous commotion.
Meeting her suspicious gaze, Geng Qi said, "Just an idler. Go inside quickly, I'll get your grandmaster uncle to save you."
After saying that, he disappeared from the top of the wall. Su Mo'er didn't get an answer, and when she turned around, he was already gone. She could only jump down from the wall and enter through the courtyard gate.
On a branch of a lush tree outside the courtyard, Geng Qi saw the young master's eyes light up the moment the female lead pushed open the courtyard gate. He immediately fawned over her, not caring that he was being ignored.
The female lead is definitely capable of making a living based on her looks!
Geng Qi could only lament that people from different families are bound to be like family, and that the Yan Dan Sect was rife with lecherous men!
After observing from outside the courtyard for a while, he turned and left. It was agreed that they would each go their own way. They would not leave Yandan Sect for the time being. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the female protagonist, as a disciple of Tianzhi Sect, could neither escape nor disappear.
Following the divine imprint he left behind, Geng Qi went directly to Chengyun Pavilion.
It is not a pavilion, but a waterside pavilion. A mountain spring cascades down from the forest, surrounding the pavilion and courtyard. From a distance, it looks like a palace crown in the clouds, and nothing can be seen except for the flowing water.
The winding corridor is open to the public, and the naturally formed lotus pond is filled with koi carp, with the sound of flowing water constantly filling the air.
People with real strength are treated differently!
As Geng Qi walked in, he couldn't help but marvel. He had to admit that the people of Yan Dan Sect had really good taste, unlike those in his Demon Palace, who built palaces that were nothing but dark walls!
Inside the waterside pavilion, Rong Yu peered through layers of gauze curtains at the blurry figures outside. The shadows projected onto the curtains grew clearer, and a splash of red appeared as a pair of hands lifted the curtains and rushed in.
"It looks like a woman's place."
Layers of pure white gauze curtains, beautiful as they are, are a nuisance.
Rong Yu said, "A gauze curtain can be used for concealment."
Upon hearing this, Geng Qi looked through the gauze curtain again and immediately understood: "It seems they've already set their sights on you."
As he approached the waterside pavilion, he noticed that there was a spirit array at the entrance. Anyone with a cultivation level below the Nascent Soul stage would react when they entered or left. There were also Yan Dan Sect disciples surrounding the pavilion, which was significantly more numerous than those in other courtyards. It was less like inviting someone to stay here temporarily and more like a form of house arrest.
