Chapter 155: Full of Worry The matter of Kunwu Sect also came to an end, but Lingxiang has been depressed since she came back, and now lives in Lingyun Pavilion. Even when Long Qi and his party were about to go down the mountain the day after tomorrow, she did not go back to Xianyunju to take a look. She often sat alone in the Xuankong Pavilion, and no one knew what she was thinking about. On this day, True Man Chengxin came to play chess with True Man Fuyin again, and True Man Donghui naturally came along as well. They gathered in the Hanging Pavilion, but it was just like usual. The two playing chess were silent, the one comprehending the incomplete scroll was also silent, and Lingxiang was staring at the floating clouds outside the courtyard in a trance, completely devoid of her usual playfulness. This made Zhenren Chengxin very curious. He stared at Zhenren Fuyin, asking what had happened, but Zhenren Fuyin frowned and shook his head. This little junior sister was always smiling, but after coming back from Kunwu Sect, she looked a little listless. Even if she was asked, she would not answer. Only a few days ago, she suddenly ran to Qiuyun Peak and said that she wanted to stay there for a few days. Now that winter was over, why would she stay here? Besides, she had stolen the Fire Spirit Pearl from Senior Brother Zhao Ming a few days ago, so even if it was winter, there was no need for her to hide here. Could it be that I have grown up and have become more thoughtful? Zhenren Chengxin was exchanging glances with Zhenren Fuyin when he heard Lingxiang let out a long sigh. "Third Brother, you are not really playing chess with Sixth Brother, so why do you always come to him? Others may not know his chess skills, but don't you know it? It is said that a bad chess player will get worse and worse. People always strive to move up, but you are different. For so many years, you have been moving forward courageously on a downward path. What are you trying to achieve?" Lingxiang had already said this, and even Master Donghui, who was staring at the scroll in silence, couldn't help but laugh out loud. What he said was really an insult to Junior Brother Fu Yin.
After Lingxiang finished speaking, she sighed again: "I'm fine, there's just something I can't figure out, and my Xianyunju is in a mess right now, so I hid here with Sixth Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about me." "Oh?" Master Donghui raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Since you can't figure it out no matter what, why don't you talk to us? After all, you are over a hundred years old, so you should know more than you do. Maybe once you tell us, we can help you solve your confusion?" Upon hearing this, Master Chengxin quickly agreed, but Master Fuyin looked innocent - he had just turned thirty, so how could he be over a hundred like the two of them? Lingxiang sighed again after hearing this: "I just can't understand why, since Yinghua killed someone, she still wanted to hold on to his soul? Are the demons really as brutal as the rumors say? He was just a seven or eight-year-old child..." Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin was silent. He was no wonder that Lingxiang was so sad. In fact, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought of the sensible Zhuhuang. I still remember Master Xuanhuai at that time, with his white hair, crying heart-wrenchingly. That scene was really heartbreaking. "I heard that Yinghua has been wearing the child's skin all along," Master Donghui said after pondering for a moment. "In my opinion, the reason why she trapped the child's soul in the human skin was to see her memories, so that she could deceive the Kunwu Sect." Lingxiang immediately turned to look at Master Donghui when she heard this: "Brother, what you mean is that if she is wearing human skin and wants to look like the real person, she must have trapped the soul of that person in the skin? Wouldn't the people in the underworld ask about this?" Upon hearing this, Master Donghui smiled and said, "The people of Fengdu are already trying to avoid the demon clan's affairs, so why would they interfere?" Hearing this, Lingxiang frowned even more. In this case, her guess was probably correct. Xinyi's mother seemed to be in great danger, but... But how could she tell him this... "In two days, those disciples will go down the mountain. Aren't you going to see them off? After all, you are their master. How can you just ignore them?" When Master Chengxin saw Lingxiang like this, he quickly changed the subject even though he didn't know what she was thinking. Hearing what Master Chengxin said, Lingxiang patted her head immediately - that's right! There's more than just Xinyi at the moment! Wuyang is about to return to the City Lord's Mansion. If he doesn't inform Ah Lu first, he might be exposed. Although Zhao Wuyang is usually stupid, she is his mother after all. He might notice something in the details. If he knew that his mother had passed away, wouldn't it be a waste of Mrs. Qiao's plan before her death? And also a waste of Ah Lu's sacrifice? Lingxiang quickly got up and ran down the mountain without looking back. Looking at Lingxiang going away, Master Fuyin's face darkened. He still remembered clearly what Yinghua and Lingxiang said that night in Kunwu Sect. That Xinyi... …… As soon as Lingxiang landed, she walked towards the mountain gate, but Master Fuyin behind her grabbed her with a serious look on his face. "You forced Xinyi to be your disciple, but you already knew who he was?" Lingxiang was startled at first, then smiled and said, "I thought I could get away with it, but I didn't expect that Sixth Senior Brother would still keep an eye on me. That Yinghua is really something. Even when she is at the end of her rope, she still wants to take a bite. How hateful."
Master Fuyin frowned and pulled a handful of incense: "I am talking to you about serious matters, don't try to fool me." "Yes, I knew early on that he was sent by the demon clan. He was the one who brought the demons to Yinyu Peak during the second martial arts performance. I also knew long ago that he was a descendant of the Lu family, and I had been planning with him to mediate with Bai Wuchang." Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin was shocked: "Since you already knew about this, why didn't you explain it to Master Zhang? Don't you know how dangerous this is? If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster. Have you forgotten what happened thirteen years ago?!" Seeing Master Fuyin like this, Lingxiang knew that he was really angry. She pulled Master Fuyin's sleeve and shook it, saying coquettishly, "Hey, nothing went wrong, everything is under my control. Besides, Xinyi himself is not a bad person, he was just forced. With his cultivation, if he wanted to kill me, he would have killed me in Qizhou City long ago. Why would he hint at me so much?" Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin was even more shocked and was about to speak when he was stopped by Lingxiang. "I know that my senior brother is doing this for my own good and for the sake of the sect, but I can't just watch a good person get deeper and deeper into trouble, right? People like us who practice Taoism practice to save people from suffering. We can't give up anyone who can be saved just to protect ourselves. Besides, the disaster of the Lu family was caused by my mother. I am just trying to atone for her mistakes. He has already confessed to me a long time ago, and I know what I am doing." "You!" After hearing this, Master Fuyin didn't know how to refute it. He paced back and forth, then pointed at Lingxiang and said, "Do you know who the entire sect set up the mountain formation for? Isn't it for you? This is what Senior Brother Zhaoming has been maintaining with his cultivation. If not for this, he would have broken through long ago. Have you ever thought about doing this to him?" Ling Xiang lowered her head after hearing this: "But I just can't let it go. Whether it's Long Qi or Xin Yi, they ended up like this because of my mother. I'm not a compassionate person, but I'm not a heartless person either. I can't just ignore the tragedy caused by my mother's fault, right?" Lingxiang raised her head and looked at Master Fuyin, tears welling up in her eyes. "And when I see them, I think of myself. Can you understand this feeling, Senior Brother?" Looking at Lingxiang's appearance, Master Fuyin didn't know what to say for a moment. "Sixth Senior Brother, please consider this as a request from me. Please don't tell Senior Brother Shangqing and the others. Just this once, let me be willful for once, okay? From now on, I will listen to you in everything and never act like this again!" Looking at Lingxiang's tearful face, Master Fuyin actually softened his heart. Lingxiang was rarely like this, she had always been a strong child. "I can promise you," he shook his head and sighed, "but you have to promise me that you will never do anything dangerous again!" Lingxiang nodded heavily upon hearing this, then wiped her tears and turned to walk towards the mountain gate. The moment she turned around, the sadness on her face disappeared completely, and instead, she was secretly happy that her evil plan had succeeded... This upright Master Fu Yin was deceived by Lingxiang again... (End of this chapter)
