Qin Gengyun said respectfully: "Peak Master, my wife and I are originally casual cultivators. We don't have any advanced skills. Our cultivation reached a bottleneck when we reached the foundation building stage. We want to seek the great way and achieve immortality. Only the big sects have advanced skills that can help us break through the bottleneck."

"My wife and I discussed it and both felt that the Zhenyang Sect was the leader of the righteous sects in the world, so it must have profound skills and would not oppress unknown independent cultivators. That's why we decided to try our luck in Zhenyang Mountain."

"We hid our relationship because we were worried about the sect's rules. If they knew we were married, they probably wouldn't agree to let us join the sect."

"But my husband and I truly admire the Zhenyang Sect, and we joined the sect just to improve our cultivation!"

"We also tried our best to resist the beast tide and almost lost our lives. We have no second thoughts about the sect. Please forgive us, Master! Please don't drive us off Zhenyang Mountain!"

Qin Gengyun's words were full of emotion, and after he finished speaking, he did not forget to pull Qiu Zhihe, who was in a daze beside him, to bow and plead with Tan Tai Mingyue.

Qiu Zhihe was pulled by him to salute, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qin Gengyun's profile which was as steady as a mountain. Suddenly, she felt a sense of sighing that the little chick she had carefully cared for had grown up.

Tan Tai Mingyue on the opposite side was also shocked by Qin Gengyun's words. It was not that Qin Gengyun's "loyalty" to the sect moved her so much, but Qin Gengyun's last words.

"Don't drive us off Zhenyang Mountain!"

If it really was the remnants of the Demon Sect who sneaked in, his first reaction when faced with my doubts should be to beg me to believe him.

But He Zhiqiu's reaction was not to drive them out of Zhenyang Sect.

This is consistent with what He Zhiqiu said: "I want to enter the Zhenyang Sect to obtain advanced skills and break through the bottleneck of cultivation."

Tan Tai Mingyue is meticulous and pays attention to details, but the details shown by He Zhiqiu just prove his and Ruomei's innocence.

However, Tan Tai Ming Yue did not completely believe his words, and said calmly:

"Ruomei went down the mountain to buy supplies, but she came back half a day later than the other fellow disciples. Why is that? Is it really because the amount of spiritual essence purchased is not enough? Or do you have other intentions?"

Tan Tai Ming Yue's voice gradually became harsher.

This is the final interrogation. If they can pass it, Tan Tai Ming Yue will temporarily put aside her doubts.

If any flaws are revealed, Tan Tai Ming Yue will take action immediately and summon all the disciples of Zhen Yang Sect to surround and kill the two!

Qiu Zhihe sensed the murderous intent in Tan Tai Mingyue's eyes, and her hands clenched slightly.

If a fight really breaks out, I must protect my husband and let him escape first. If I can't get away, everyone in the Zhenyang Sect will be buried with him!

It was dark outside the window, and the atmosphere in the house was quiet, but undercurrents were surging.

Qin Gengyun didn't seem to notice the vague murderous intent. He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed:

"Master, actually my wife came back a long time late because she was doing other things."

Tan Tai Ming Yue narrowed her eyes: "What did you do?"

Qin Gengyun turned to look at Qiu Zhihe, tenderness in his eyes, and then he answered:

"My birthday is in a few days. My wife gives me gifts every year. She came back a little late, so she must have gone to prepare a gift for me."

"Prepare a birthday gift for you?" Tan Tai Mingyue was stunned, but she didn't expect He Zhiqiu to give such an answer.

Qin Gengyun held Qiu Zhihe's hand and said softly, "My lady, what gift did you prepare for me? Take it out and show it to the headmaster."

Qiu Zhihe glanced at him, and the murderous intent hidden in her eyes finally disappeared. She took out a green top embroidered with gold thread from the cabinet beside the bed.

"Cloud-patterned golden robe?"

Qin Gengyun showed a look of surprise on his face, took the clothes and exclaimed:

"This is a protective garment that can resist ordinary magic weapons. Madam, where did you find it?"

Qiu Zhihe looked shy and whispered, "I saved all the monthly salary given by the sect, and bought this in Zhenyang City when I went down the mountain this time."

Qin Gengyun hugged her with emotion: "Thank you, my lady. I like your gift very much!"

After saying that, she bent down and kissed Qiu Zhihe on the forehead. Qiu Zhihe exclaimed and quickly pushed her away, her cheeks flushed.

This time it wasn't a performance, but I was really embarrassed.

She is thin-skinned and cannot be intimate with her husband in front of outsiders even when acting.

Tan Tai Ming Yue was also stunned. She never expected that this harsh questioning would end up as two disciples showing affection.

She coughed dryly, and her tone finally returned to a gentle tone: "After all, the sect has its rules. Ruomei, He Zhiqiu, you should be sensible and not indulge in lust, and..."

Tan Tai Ming Yue looked at He Zhi Qiu and said, "Go back to Hua Shen Peak before dawn. Be careful not to be discovered."

Qin Gengyun was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master!"

Qiu Zhihe also bowed: "Thank you, Master."

Tan Tai Mingyue nodded, and flashed out of Ruomei's room.

At this time, a stern figure appeared not far from the courtyard. It was Leng Jing, the head of Jianzhong Peak. He asked Tan Tai Mingyue:

"Master Junior Sister, how is it?"

Tan Tai Ming Yue shook her head: "Not them."

Leng Jing was silent for a moment, looked at her face carefully, and suddenly asked:

"Junior sister, what's wrong with you?"

Tan Tai Ming Yue smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just feel that the clues have been cut off. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out the truth about the deaths of my three senior brothers. Once the news of the deaths of Senior Brothers Shi and Wei is known to the outside world, the Zhen Yang Sect will no longer be the leader of the righteous world."

Leng Jing comforted her, "Junior sister, don't worry too much. At the Feixian Ceremony in half a year, as long as my Zhenyang Sect disciples can win the championship and enter the Feixian Pavilion to get the opportunity, they will definitely be stronger than us. By then, the Zhenyang Sect will have successors."

Tan Tai Ming Yue sighed slightly: "I hope so."

Leng Jing looked at her dignified and gentle profile, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Junior sister, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, my mind would have been in chaos."

During the day at Danxia Peak, when Leng Jing heard Xia Qinglian's name, his inner demons emerged and his whole body trembled. It was only when Tan Tai Mingyue held his hand that he calmed down.

However, Leng Jing's words at this moment contained not only gratitude, but more of an inexplicable tenderness and affection.

Tan Tai Ming Yue pretended not to hear and said gently, "Brother Leng, thank you for staying with me outside tonight. This is a time of trouble for the sect, so please return to Jianzhong Peak as soon as possible."

Leng Jing looked at her gentle yet calm face, his expression slightly dimmed, and nodded: "Okay, Junior Sister, you should be careful too, I'm leaving."

"good."

Leng Jing left reluctantly. Tan Tai Ming Yue looked at his receding figure and stood on the edge of the moonless cliff. She was silent for a long time and murmured:

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Leng, I'm no longer worthy of you."

In Ruomei's room.

"Husband, why don't you listen to me! I'm angry! You... mmm..."

"Husband! Don't think I can forgive you every time you do this. It was very dangerous just now, you know?"

Bang!

"Oh? Husband, what are you doing?"

"My wife, I have already told you that if you hide anything from me again, I will not let you off easily. Please accept your husband's punishment!"

Bang bang bang!

"Oh?! Qin Gengyun, you really dare to do this to me?! Ah! My husband, I was wrong!"
