"How's the situation?" In the bamboo hut, Lin Zixuan sat calmly behind the bamboo table and asked Han Bingling, who sat opposite her.
After finishing the previous battle, Han Bingling did not return to the square but went to do something and just returned to his place two days later.
Han Bingling put a teacup in her hand on the table as she answered. "Everything is settled now. All we have to do is wait. It won't be long before they show their tails. At that time, we can close the net and catch them in one go."
She changed the tone and said further. "By the way, Sister. Have you decided yet? I heard that many hall masters are trying to recruit him recently. If you are not hurrying up, I'm afraid someone will snatch him away."
Lin Zixuan smiled slightly and said. "I'm not in a hurry. If we are destined, he will eventually enter my hall."
Han Bingling shook her head helplessly after hearing Lin Zixuan's answer. She then cast a wink at Jiang Yingyue, who stood calmly on the side.
Jiang Yingyue was confused for a moment before figuring it out. She understood Han Bingling wanted her to secretly recruit Yun Lintian behind her master's back.
Thinking of her master's situation, Jiang Yingyue slowly nodded her head in reply. With Yun Lintian's monstrous talent, it would definitely be able to help her master.

The Sky Courtyard was located on Sky Peak, the tallest peak in the academy. This place was engulfed by a layer of ethereal mist and haze. Under the illuminating rays of the scorching sun, beautiful colors of the rainbow could be seen. The scenery here was breathtakingly beautiful beyond words.
Amidst a boundless lush and green forest, a simple-looking courtyard built by seemingly ordinary ancient woods was found not far away from the cliff. In the front yard, two young men stood together, appearing to discuss something.
"Brother Yun, have you decided yet which hall do you wish to join? You don't know, Hall Master Nangong keeps asking me about you whenever I go down the mountain." Tian Jiuyi smiled bitterly.
He was a genuine Young Master of the academy, yet he was treated like a servant during these days. Whenever he went down to get something, those hall masters, including some academy elders, would always ask him about Yun Lintian. Some of them even gave him a precious gift in order to let him say a few good words about them to Yun Lintian. He was extremely tired about it now.
Yun Lintian calmly enjoyed the scenery while stroking Linlin's fur in his arms as he replied with a chuckle. "You've worked hard… Is there anyone from Moonlight Hall among them?"
"Moonlight Hall?" Tian Jiuyi was surprised and then shook his head. "No. I didn't see anyone from Moonlight Hall. Why? Are you interested in this hall?"
Yun Lintian didn't agree or deny Tian Jiuyi's question. He asked further. "Can you tell me about the Moonlight Hall Master? I heard she's a special existence in this place. Why is that?"
Tian Jiuyi thought for a moment and answered. "I don't know much about her. As far as I know, she was a peerless master several years ago. Oh right, she had also held the title number one beauty of the Northern Continent. Later, she and Patriarch Lin seemed to have conflict, and somehow she ended up being crippled. If it wasn't because of my great-grandfather receiving her into the academy, she would die a long time ago."
Yun Lintian was disappointed. What Tian Jiuyi said was nothing much different from the information he got from the Cloud Shadow team. It seemed he had to investigate this Lin Zixuan by himself.
Yun Lintian changed the topic. "Right, did you bring everything here?" Two days ago, after arriving at this place, Yun Lintian had asked Tian Jiuyi to gather some precious magical plants for Chu Mi's treatment.
Tian Jiuyi nodded and handed a storage ring to Yun Lintian. "Everything is in here."
Yun Lintian retrieved the storage right and checked the content inside briefly before asking. "How much?"
Tian Jiuyi shook his head. "Are you treating me as an outsider, Brother Yun? You don't have to pay me anything. Not to mention Chu Mi's incident is in my responsibility."
Yun Lintian nodded his head and turned around, preparing to enter the courtyard.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about it. Two people want to visit you, Brother Yun. One of them is a young woman named Lan Shuiying, and the other is a man named Ye Xiaolong. I still have some impressions of Miss Lan. You and she seem to know each other, right? However, this Ye Xiaolong is a bit weird. He keeps saying he and you are iron-brothers. I don't know if he's lying." Tian Jiuyi had a strange expression when he was talking about this. He could clearly see Ye Xiaolong's temperament was a world apart from Yun Lintian's. How could he be Yun Lintian's iron-brother?
Yun Lintian halted his tracks, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly when he listened about Ye Xiaolong's part. He didn't expect this guy was actually alive until now. It seemed his luck was against the sky.
He thought for a moment and said. "You can let them come here." Following that, he entered the courtyard directly.
Tian Jiuyi didn't say anything and left the courtyard, walking down the mountain.
Inside the bedroom, Chu Mi was lying on the bed. Her complexion was pale, and her breath was feeble. She looked as if she could pass away at any moment.
On the side, Chu Heng, who was half recovered from the serious injuries, sat beside the bed and looked at Chu Mi with his face full of anxiety.
"Little Mi, you have to hold on. Don't leave brother and our parents alone." Chu Heng couldn't help become emotional. Watching his sister become like this, he felt that his heart was being stabbed by countless blades.
Creak!
Suddenly, Yun Lintian opened the door and walked into the room with a bunch of jade bottles and two big buckets in his hands.
"You should take some rest and leave her to me.. I am going to treat her now."
