: I'll be back!

Lin Yuan carefully put away the written testimonies. With these, even if there were any trouble later, he would have proof to file a lawsuit with the Moon Palace. So he cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you all for being my witnesses."

The third senior brother sighed and waved his hand, then ordered the wine server, "Open the cave door and let them leave."

Lin Yuan didn't move, and instead proposed a new condition: "Third Senior Brother, please write a training document for me and Ninth Senior Sister, leaving the deadline blank, and I'll fill it in myself..."

As he spoke, he also asked that the names of Hong Gu, Si Qin, and others be filled in, so that no one could find any mistakes.

With the document, he could openly roam around outside and not come back. If things changed drastically in White Cloud Valley and he wanted to return, he could simply fill in the date.

"Alright." The third senior brother didn't hesitate. He immediately took the paper and pen, wrote two documents by hand, affixed the official seal of the Imperial Household Department, and handed them to Li Zaihao, saying, "Use the Valley Master's seal on my behalf!"

Although Li Zaihao was somewhat displeased, he still took out the Valley Master's seal, stamped it, and signed his name.

Lin Yuan took the two documents, glanced at them, and put them away. Overwhelmed with grief, he said to Master Baiyun on the bed, "Master, in order to protect myself, I have no choice but to flee a thousand miles away. If there is a future, I will definitely come to pay my respects to you. Third Senior Brother, fellow senior brothers and sisters, we must part ways here, and meet again in the future."

Infected by his actions, Li Yunniang also began to sob, and knelt down immediately: "Master, your disciple is leaving..."

The third senior brother was inexplicably moved and sighed, "I'll see you off."

"Thank you, Third Senior Brother." Lin Yuan helped Little White Flower up and left with her.

Lee Jae-ho watched the three leave, turned his head to the side, and pursed his lips, only to find that all his fellow disciples in the bedroom had quietly moved away from him.

This immediately angered him again, but he restrained himself and said, "We don't need you here, go back!"

The crowd looked at each other and said, "Yes, Young Valley Master."

……

The wine server opened the cave door, and Lin Yuan, grabbing the little white flower, stepped out first and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Fairy Yingxue and Fairy Yingyue, for coming to our rescue."

Jiang Yingyue smiled gently: "It's good that you're alright."

Qin Yingxue slightly relaxed her crescent-shaped eyebrows, but only gave a faint "Mm".

The third senior brother quickly bowed and apologized, saying, "Fairy Qin, Fairy Jiang, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. Please forgive me. I will visit you two another day to apologize. Please do not disturb the Moon Palace with such a trivial matter."

He wanted to resolve the matter in Baiyun Valley within the smallest possible scope, in order to maintain the dignity of the sect and the Li family.

Qin Yingxue had intended to handle the matter discreetly, not wanting to attract too much attention from her master, but she said coldly, "Since Junior Brother Li has pleaded for me, let's leave it at that for now. However, if you cause any trouble, I will definitely inform the Palace Master and ask her to seek justice for my junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Li Zaiguan bowed his head deeply: "Thank you for your forgiveness, both fairies. Please rest assured, Fairy Qin, I will not cause any further trouble."

Qin Yingxue softened her tone: "You've had it tough too, so let's leave it at that. Let's pack up and head back to the Moon Palace. You two can find an excuse to cancel their ceremony."

"Yes!" Li Zaiguan bowed again.

Qin Yingxue waved her hand and warned, "I hope you'll behave yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Li Zaiguan lowered his head even further. He couldn't stand up straight after such a disgraceful incident.

Just then, Li Jing and Qian Tao, who had been guarding outside the cave entrance, saw Li Zaiguan apologizing and were momentarily stunned and puzzled.

After Lin Yuan and the others left, Li Jing gave Qian Tao a wink, and Qian Tao reluctantly stepped forward: "Third Senior Brother, something's happened."

"Sigh..." Li Zaiguan was somewhat tired and irritable, but his long-standing sense of responsibility compelled him to ask, "What is it now?"

"Someone threw a letter into the gate of the Valley Master's cave. They ran away after throwing it in, without even leaving their name," Qian Tao said, handing over the letter.

The third senior brother was somewhat taken aback, but didn't want to read it: "What did it say?"

Qian Tao lowered his head very low and said in a flustered manner, "This disciple dares not speak. Please, Third Senior Brother, take a look."

"Speak!" The third senior brother lost his usual patience.

"The letter said that Fifth Senior Brother killed Sixth Senior Brother, and that Fifth Senior Brother conspired with Li Cheng and Shi Jiu..." Qian Tao immediately told them all the news.

"What?!" Li Zai stared in the direction Lin Yuan had left, then flew into a rage. "You, Lin Zaiyuan!"

Qian Tao was momentarily surprised: "Junior Brother?"

"Go and call him here!" Li Zaiguan was furious, but then he remembered that Lin Yuan had the Moon Palace Fairy by his side, so he said, "Fine, you two stay here. I'll go myself."

……

Lin Yuan, accompanied by Little White Flower, first arrived at the Emerald Calyx Cave and directly ordered Siqin, who opened the door, "Pack up, let's go now."

"Oh, yes." Siqin glanced at Jiang Yingyue standing behind the two of them, quickly bowed, but then carefully said to Lin Yuan, "Someone just left a secret message in front of the cave and knocked on the door. When I came out, this was the only message I found."

Lin Yuan took the opened secret letter and dismissed him, saying, "Go and pack up quickly."

"Okay." Siqin immediately went inside with Xiaobaihua to tidy up.

Lin Yuan first checked the letter and found no restrictions. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Yingyue before opening it directly. Upon reading it, he was immediately shocked and frowned.

What a coincidence!

I had just revealed Fifth Senior Brother's secret when someone else revealed it at the same time.

Who is deliberately plotting against me?

Just then, the third senior brother suddenly caught up. He first gestured to Qin Yingxue, "My two fairies, I have a few words to say to my junior brother."

Seeing Lin Yuan nod, Qin Yingxue nodded in return.

The third senior brother walked up to Lin Yuan with a letter in his hand. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Yuan first raised the letter in his hand: "Someone has left a letter in front of the Emerald Calyx Cave."

Li Zaiguan suddenly sensed something was amiss and questioned, "Did you do this?"

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Who else could it be?" Li Zaiguan felt a sense of relief.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment: "There are many others, such as my second senior brother."

"Impossible..." The third senior brother waved his sleeve, shattering the secret letter.

"First there was the eldest senior brother, then the sixth senior brother, then the fifth senior brother, and now it's my turn..." Lin Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly. He didn't care whether his third senior brother believed him or not. The reason he explained was simply because he admired his third senior brother's character.

Li Zaiguan knew that his senior brother was forced to leave because of Wu Zaiyan, but he didn't ask how much of it was true and how much was false. He simply acquiesced, after all, for the sake of the Li family's interests, some things had to be done unavoidably.

Judging from Lin Yuan's tone, Wu Zaiyan seemed to have done more than just these things; even the death of his sixth junior brother was related to him, and even the letter about his fifth junior brother was related to him.

He doubted that Lin Yuan was lying, but having watched Lin Yuan grow up and spent so many years with him, he knew Lin Yuan to some extent. He never boasted or lied, and he was very reliable in his work.

For a moment, Li Zaiguan stood there, lost in thought.

Even when Li Yunniang and Siqin came out to greet him, he only nodded subconsciously.

Lin Yuan ignored him and simply led the four women to the Wanshui Cave.

Qin Yingxue stayed outside the door and did not go in, but Jiang Yingyue accompanied him inside, seemingly intentionally protecting him.

Lin Yuan immediately took the storage bag he had prepared in advance and went to the flower and bird room, where he put the Azure Phoenix, parrot, and peacock into the spirit beast bag.

This top-grade spirit beast bag was purchased in advance for my escape, but I followed Cao Zhengyan's route and only paid a little over six thousand talisman coins.

At this moment, Jiang Yingyue followed in and asked, "Is this a spirit bird?"

"Oh, I bought it to play with. Okay, let's go," Lin Yuan explained casually.

Jiang Yingyue, being gentle by nature, didn't press further: "Mm."

Upon exiting the cave, Qin Yingxue took out a cloud boat and leaped onto it, saying, "Let's go."

Lin Yuan and the others followed and entered the cloud boat.

This cloud boat was not the one Qin Yingxue used last time. It was not only slower, but also much smaller, with only one cabin and not much space.

Inside the cabin.

Qin Yingxue and Jiang Yingyue sat facing each other on a soft couch, with a small table between them.

Li Yunniang and Lin Yuan sat on the soft mats on the east side.

Siqin obediently knelt behind Li Yunniang.

Qin Yingxue immediately steered the cloud boat to the entrance of Baiyun Valley, ordered the disciples guarding the valley to open the barrier, and then flew into the sky above Yinwu Mountain.

Although the array restrictions in the valley cannot prevent the cloud boat from entering and exiting, they can trigger an alarm.

It was the end of the month, and there was no moon in the sky, only a few stars.

It was dark outside the porthole, and no one spoke inside for a moment, creating a somewhat somber atmosphere.

As soon as Li Yunniang boarded the cloud boat, she became somewhat timid and sat quietly, occasionally glancing at Jiang Yingyue out of the corner of her eye. Every time she saw Jiang Yingyue's plump figure, she felt a sense of loss and unconsciously lowered her head, stirring her robes.

Leaving Baiyun Valley, Lin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Zhen Baiyun, I will come back."

He composed himself and broke the silence first, saying, "Aren't you two fairies going back to your cave to pack?"

"I didn't bring much with me to begin with, I've been carrying it with me all along," Jiang Yingyue said with a smile. Noticing Li Yunniang secretly looking at her, she beckoned to her, "Junior Sister Li, come sit closer."

He gestured for her to come over and squeeze in.

Li Yunniang glanced cautiously at Lin Yuan, who felt that three women could make a drama, so he could only let them be and nodded slightly.

She then got up and sat on the bed next to Jiang Yingyue.

Qin Yingxue noticed the two's reactions and subtly observed Li Yunniang's demeanor and behavior. She instinctively felt that Li Yunniang was a simple and innocent girl, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yingyue said to Li Yunniang, "Junior Sister Ning has been saying she wants to come see you. She'll be so happy if Xiao comes to the Moon Palace. It'll be good for the two of you to keep each other company from now on."

"Okay." Li Yunniang nodded obediently.

The two chatted casually.

Qin Yingxue gradually realized that this woman's temperament was even weaker than her junior sister Yingyue's, and she would not pose a threat to her. Only then did she feel relieved and planned to have her junior sister deliver a message to her privately, making her understand her status and position, and not to have any unrealistic ideas.

Lin Yuan ignored the three women secretly sizing each other up and comparing themselves, selectively pretending to be stupid, closing his eyes to rest, and staring blankly at the Xuanjing in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Fortunately, all three women were cultivators and had good manners, so they didn't turn on each other on the spot.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if a scene of one dragon and two phoenixes could have happened if he hadn't brought Little White Flower.

Just as she was lost in thought, Jiang Yingyue suddenly said, "Senior Sister, I'll take control of the cloud boat. You all take a rest."

"Okay." Qin Yingxue handed her the round rudder of the cloud boat and instructed, "Just fly straight."

"Okay." Jiang Yingyue nodded.

Five Cloud Valley is quite far from the Moon Palace. Even by cloud boat, it would take two or three days. This small cloud boat is slow and takes even longer.
