Tan Tai Ming Yue's expression remained gentle, but her eyes were burning.

Su Xin was startled, then met her gaze and said calmly:

"Master, Junior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo saved me twice. If it weren't for them, I would never see you again. Please leave this matter to me. I will definitely not let them do anything that would harm the sect."

Tan Tai Ming Yue looked at her, and the master and disciple stood there motionless, speechless for a long time.

Finally, Tan Tai Ming Yue sighed: "Xin Er, you have changed."

"Master..." Su Xin was about to speak when Tan Tai Ming Yue suddenly smiled:

"You have become mature. I used to worry that you were too naive and would sacrifice yourself if the sect was in trouble. But now it seems that I don't have to worry anymore."

Tan Tai Ming Yue looked up at the sky as she spoke. The bright full moon illuminated the dark night sky. She said in a faint voice:

"I used to be like you, naive and stubborn, but it hurt me. Now you are stronger than me."

"I'll leave the matter of He Zhiqiu and Ruomei to you."

Su Xin bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

She was both happy and confused. Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Qiu saved her, so she couldn't repay their kindness with evil.

However, she didn't know whether the decision she made today was right or wrong.

If Sect Leader Chen Qingmo is really the master of Lingshi Mountain, what should she do?

Also, what did Master mean by what he said just now?

The master never told her about his past. Su Xin only knew that when Tan Tai Ming Yue was young, he had a crush on the former crown prince of the West Palace, but because Lin Yuan turned against him and helped the third prince Wu Zheng, the former crown prince died.

From then on, Tan Tai Ming Yue returned to Zhen Yang Mountain and never left the mountain again until the Battle of Tian Lu Mountain.

Now listening to what Master said, it seemed that besides the West Palace back then, she had other sad things in her heart.

Su Xin looked up at Tan Tai Ming Yue, only to see that her master had regained his composure: "Let's go."

"Yes." Su Xin didn't dare to ask any more questions and followed Tan Tai Ming Yue to the peak master's hall.

At this time, Leng Jing, Jianyue, Chun Ningzhi, Zhang Zheng, Chen Yunfeng and others had already arrived and were receiving people from the Leijian Sect, Feiyun Sect and the West Palace.

Tan Tai Ming Yue came in and everyone greeted her.

There were several young disciples from Feiyun Sect. One of them was as tall as jade, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked even more handsome in the Feiyun Sect's white cloud sword robe. He led the Feiyun Sect's disciples to bow to Tan Tai Mingyue:

"Disciple Zheng Mulin from Feiyun Sect greets Uncle Master Tan Tai."

Tan Tai Ming Yue smiled and said to him, "So it's you, Junior Brother Zheng. Back then, you went to the Northern Wilderness seven times in search of a Taoist companion. We, the elders, were very moved when we heard about your feelings."

At that time, the young disciples of the three major sects went to the Northern Wilderness for trials. Zheng Mulin and his senior sister Yin Qiaoqin fell in love with each other and were about to get married soon, but Yin Qiaoqin was ambushed by the Spirit Corpse Mountain and her whereabouts were unknown.

Later, Zheng Mulin went deep into the Northern Wilderness seven times to search, but he still failed to find Yin Qiaoqun.

This tragic past is well known to everyone, and many people praise Zheng Mulin's infatuation.

Even Tan Tai Ming Yue remembered this incident, so the first thing she thought of after seeing Zheng Mu Lin was that

Su Xin next to her also looked gloomy. She had also participated in the Northern Wilderness trial that year.

After Yin Qiaoqin got into trouble, Su Xin also helped to look for her. She witnessed Zheng Mulin's infatuation with her own eyes, so she was also deeply impressed.

Seeing that Zheng Mulin seemed to have walked out of the shadow of the past, Su Xin was happy for him, but then she sighed secretly.

It will be difficult to tell whether the three major sects will be friends or enemies in the future. If we have to fight against an upright and infatuated comrade like Zheng Mulin in the future, we don’t know how to deal with it.

But Su Xin didn't know that Qin Gengyun and others had actually met Yin Qiaoqun, who had been refined into a spiritual corpse, in the Northern Wilderness.

Before her death, Yin Qiaoqin regained consciousness and asked Siminglan to send the token of love between her and Zheng Mulin to Feiyun Sect, so that Zheng Mulin could learn that she was dead and let go of his worries and practice well.

However, when Si Minglan traveled a long way to Feiyun Sect City and handed the things to Zheng Mulin, she found out that this infatuated man had already forgotten Yin Qiaoqun.

Not only that, Zheng Mulin was ungrateful and helped Si Mingcheng set up an ambush and captured Si Minglan.

After Si Minglan was "killed" by Ye Xiyue and fell off Tangshan Mountain, no one knew about these things.

Zheng Mulin, on the other hand, has always carried the aura of "integrity and infatuation", and has risen rapidly from an inner disciple to become the commanding disciple of Feiyun Sect today.

Hearing Tan Tai Ming Yue's words, Zheng Mu Lin's face showed a gloomy look at the right time:

"It was me who failed to protect Senior Sister Yin. I always feel guilty every time I wake up in the middle of the night."

His voice was so sorrowful that everyone else was shocked and felt the same way.

Chun Ningzhi looked at Zheng Mulin as if he saw himself. His eyes turned to Jianyue with a gentle expression.

Junior Sister Ye, even if you already have someone in your heart, I will not give up.

Next came the envoys from the Western Palace, among whom was also an acquaintance - Si Mingcheng.

Facing the people from the West Palace, Tan Tai Ming Yue remained gentle, but there was a hint of indifference and alienation in her words.

Simingcheng said, "Tantai, acting sect leader, we are here on the orders of the Empress to inform the Zhenyang Sect that the Fairy Ritual has been finalized and will be held in the West Imperial City in half a year. Here are the details."

As he spoke, he presented a scroll with both hands, on which were written in detail the rules of the Feixian Ceremony.

It is roughly the same as before, with the age limit being under 40 years old, and each of the three major sects sending out ten disciples.

Individual cultivators can also participate, but they must first pass the preliminary selection held in West Imperial City.

The top three winners of the Feixian Ceremony will be eligible to stay in Feixian Pavilion for one day and can choose a treasure from the Feixian Pavilion.

Tan Tai Ming Yue looked at the scroll and nodded slightly. Si Ming Cheng paused and suddenly said:

"I heard that Elder Shi Shuhong and Elder Wei Shouyuan of your sect are in seclusion to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. I wonder how they are doing?"

Tan Tai Ming Yue glanced at Si Ming Cheng and her voice turned cold: "If Lin Yuan wants to know, let her ask me herself."

Si Mingcheng smiled and said, "I am a small-minded person who talks too much. Please don't blame me, Acting Sect Leader."

After saying that, he stepped aside. The people from Feiyun Sect and Leijian Sect had different expressions, as if they had found the answers they wanted from Tan Tai Mingyue's words.

At this time, a burly figure stepped out from the crowd of the Thunder Sword Sect, but he did not greet Tan Tai Ming Yue first, but waved to Su Xin with a look of joy:

"Junior Sister Su, nice to see you again. Are you okay?"

Su Xin was startled: "Brother Ming, why are you here?"

Minghu chuckled, and ran to Suxin in front of everyone. He took out a storage bag from his arms, and poured out a bunch of elixirs and natural treasures:

"Junior Sister Su, Master originally wanted Junior Sister to come, but I was worried about your health, so I rushed over. Look, I brought you a lot of things!"
