Upon returning to the sect, Lu Shenzhi went to the council hall to report the results of his trip.
Shi Xuan took Zhu Lingyun back to his courtyard.
"What are your plans for the future?" Shi Xuan asked.
Bringing Zhu Lingyun back this time was at her insistence; she didn't want to stay in Cloud City anymore.
Her father is gone, and she has no relatives left. She has no idea what to do.
“I want to find a place to live in seclusion,” Zhu Lingyun said. “I already thought about it on the way here. This cultivation world is too disgusting. Everyone is hidden behind their skin, and no one knows whether they are human or ghost inside.”
She has grown up in the simplest environment and can no longer adapt to the outside world.
“Actually, I’ve thought about it. Maybe I should just go with my father,” Zhu Lingyun sighed. “But I’m afraid my father wouldn’t want me to do that.”
Shi Xuan took out a few spiritual fruits from the silver frost and placed them in front of Zhu Lingyun.
“I do have a place to go,” Shi Xuan said. “Are you interested in any of the following: pills, talismans, artifacts, or formations?”
Zhu Lingyun replied, "I wanted to learn alchemy before, but there were no good alchemists in Yunzhong City, so I gave up on it."
“Well, I can find you a master of alchemy, but the place where you live will be isolated from the world, probably even more secluded than a hermit’s life.”
The time was when he was talking about silver frost.
If Zhu Lingyun no longer wants to face this cultivation world, Silver Frost is a good place to go.
Zhu Lingyun immediately agreed.
"Such a paradise exists? That's exactly the place I've always dreamed of." Zhu Lingyun immediately chimed in after hearing what Shi Xuan said.
She really didn't want to face this cultivation world anymore and wished she could leave immediately and avoid everything.
“You can think about it for two more days,” Shi Xuan said. “Once you go there, you can’t regret it.”
"No regrets!" Zhu Lingyun replied impatiently; she didn't want to wait two days, not even a moment longer.
Shi Xuan looked her over carefully, sighed, and said, "Alright, then I'll take you there. If you need anything, just let me know."
Zhu Lingyun nodded in agreement without hesitation.
When Xuan sent Zhu Lingyun to Yinshuang, it surprised everyone in the entire Yinshuang courtyard.
Most of the people here have been arrested by Shi Xuan for making mistakes. How come a delicate little girl suddenly came in?
Could it be that he's also a dark-hearted person?
Shi Xuan quickly gave an explanation and then handed Zhu Lingyun over to Zeng Mo.
"I've found you a disciple. Teach him well, and whether he becomes an excellent alchemist in the future depends on you."
Zeng Mo was overjoyed to accept this young disciple. He felt that the array cultivators here were too powerful, and he couldn't be happier to have a newcomer willing to learn alchemy from him.
Shi Xuan introduced the basic situation here to Zhu Lingyun.
"This is my private space. There are only a few people here. I'll give you a separate courtyard to live in. If you want to learn alchemy, you can go to Zeng Mo to learn. If you don't want to learn, that's fine too. Do whatever makes you happy."
Zhu Lingyun looked around in surprise. The place was so vast, it was like a small world, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a secret realm.
And this place is actually Shi Xuan's private space!
Who exactly is Shi Xuan? Her father was once a city lord, but he only had a space to hold living beings, which he considered a rare thing.
But Shi Xuan has such a small world that is like a secret realm!
Her surprise lasted for a while before she finally came to her senses.
She was 100% satisfied with this place.
There was no backstabbing or scheming; everyone was under Shi Xuan's management.
It's like a world with few people and good order.
She felt very comfortable here.
Shi Xuan arranged a small courtyard for Zhu Lingyun before leaving Yinshuang.
Over a period of time, Shi Xuan visited Yinshuang more frequently, wanting to see if Zhu Lingyun was adapting to life there.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Lingyun really liked this place.
According to her, she felt at ease and could sleep soundly until dawn every day.
She absolutely loved this kind of life.
After looking at it a few times, Shi Xuan felt relieved and let her go.
Unexpectedly, a year later, Zhu Lingyun suddenly said to her when she entered Yinshuang, "Shixuan, I want to become a Daoist couple with Li Jun."
"What?" Shi Xuan didn't react at first.
"You mean... Li Jun?!"
Zhu Lingyun nodded.
"We are mutually in love and intend to become Daoist partners," Zhu Lingyun said again.
Shi Xuan finally understood what she meant. In just one year, they had actually fallen for each other...?
At this moment, Li Jun also stood not far from Zhu Lingyun, looking at Shi Xuan.
Li Jun is a man of few words, and Shi Xuan can hardly understand what he is thinking. Of course, he is also unwilling to spend the time to understand.
Among Yinshuang and the others, Shi Xuan thought back and realized that the most handsome one was indeed Li Jun.
But at this moment, Shi Xuan looked at the two people who had come looking for him and felt a little conflicted.
She looked at Zhu Lingyun and asked, "Do you know why Li Jun was sent here?"
Zhu Lingyun nodded: "I know. He said it was a slave you bought at the auction."
"Then do you know why he became a slave?"
Zhu Lingyun nodded again.
She glanced at Li Jun and replied, "He told me that he didn't actually kill those people in Wenqu City."
"Huh?" This explanation surprised Shi Xuan as well. It wasn't Li Jun who killed him?
"Why haven't I heard you mention this before?" Shi Xuan turned to Li Jun and asked.
Li Jun remained calm and replied, "That's all in the past, there's no point in talking about it."
He was already a slave, and he knew that once he entered this space, he could no longer be released. Whether he killed the three hundred people in the city or not would not change his current situation at all, so what difference would it make whether he spoke or not?
But when people are courting, they always want to show their best side, which is why he told Zhu Lingyun about his situation.
“Wenqu City…” Shi Xuan pondered, “If it weren’t for you, why would I have to bear this infamy for no reason?”
"No one believed me when I said it before, but now that I'm no longer in the cultivation world, my reputation doesn't matter anymore."
What he said wasn't wrong. He probably wouldn't see those people again, so it wouldn't matter whether he had a good or bad reputation.
“Alright,” Shi Xuan said to Zhu Lingyun, “I was just worried he might be keeping it from you. Now that you know, I don’t object.”
Even if Li Jun really was the villain who massacred the city, Shi Xuan would not object if Zhu Lingyun insisted on becoming his Daoist partner.
If you wish to become Daoist partners, I will prepare all the necessary items outside and bring them in for you.
