Chapter 93 Part 2

"In response to Senior Uncle, this disciple is Xiao Yu, an outer disciple of the Shangxuan Sect."

Zhou Yin asked, "How did you come here?"

Xiao Yu replied, "Earlier, someone came to the outer sect and said they wanted to pick a few people to come and serve the senior uncles, so they chose us."

Zhou Yin asked, "Who went to pick you?"

Xiao Yu dared not be negligent and answered one by one, "It was Senior Brother Lu from Yaoguang Peak."

Zhou Yin raised an eyebrow. "Lu Yanping?"

Xiao Yu said, "That's right."

After a while, not hearing Zhou Yin's voice, Xiao Yu was about to raise his head when he heard him ask again, "What about the one who came with you?"

Su Song was bored and had sneaked back to the outer sect to play with his fellow disciples, but Xiao Yu still covered for him, saying, "He suddenly had a stomachache and may have gone down the mountain to find medicine."

Zhou Yin glanced at him, turned, and walked inside, casually dropping a sentence, "If you want to stay, it's best not to have any intention of deceiving me."

Xiao Yu was stunned, both delighted and ashamed, and hurriedly stammered, "Senior Uncle, please forgive me, I, I..."

Before he could finish, Zhou Yin had already walked away.

Inside the room, there were two chairs, with Yun Zong and Zhou Chen each sitting on one side.

For someone like Yun Zong, even when sitting, he was upright and proper, meticulous, taking the restraint and self-discipline of a cultivator to the extreme.

Zhou Chen, on the other hand, had his left elbow half-propped on the armrest of the chair, holding a teacup in his other hand. Even when sitting there casually and lazily, he exuded an indescribable noble air.

Zhou Chen found this fellow really unpleasant to look at. Not only did he disturb his affectionate time with Zhou Yin, but he also stubbornly refused to leave.

Just as he was thinking about how to drive him away, Zhou Yin came in.

"Ah Yin!" Zhou Chen immediately changed his expression, his eyebrows, eyes, and the corners of his mouth all smiling.

Yun Zong directly asked, "Did you just go to Senior Uncle Qingyan's place?"

Zhou Yin nodded and opened his left fist, which had been curled up the whole time.

It could be seen that there was an extra word on his palm, "save," which had appeared at some unknown time.

Yun Zong asked, "What is this?"

Zhou Yin briefly described what had happened. This word should have been put on his hand by that sword-offering attendant using some method.

After hearing this, Yun Zong frowned. "Who are they asking us to save?"

Zhou Chen casually speculated, "Maybe they want you to save that old man Qinghe."

Yun Zong thought about it seriously and said, "Senior Uncle Qiu from Tianquan Peak is currently imprisoned, so it's also possible they want us to save him."

One thing led to another, seemingly intertwined and implying internal situations that couldn't be told to outsiders. Zhou Yin had always hated these troubles and couldn't help but frown slightly, not speaking.

Zhou Chen knew his thoughts and held his hand, saying, "Ah Yin, let's not get involved. That old man Qinghe only gained a nominal disciple for nothing and didn't teach you anything. You've already done a lot for them, and there's no need to wade into muddy waters again."

Yun Zong actually agreed with Zhou Chen's words. "He's right. You shouldn't get involved in this matter."

From the beginning of Qingxuan's death to the imprisonment of Qiu Xianyun and Qinghe's seclusion, just thinking about it, one could tell how complex and intricate it was. With Yun Zong's strength alone, he might not be able to untangle this mess, but he was unwilling to let his friends get involved in the trouble, so he would rather bear it himself.

Zhou Yin asked, "What about you?"

Yun Zong said, "I naturally can't be uninvolved."

Hearing Zhou Yin's tone, Zhou Chen knew that he might get involved in this matter, and couldn't help but silently sigh. He held Zhou Yin's hand without letting go. In front of Yun Zong, Zhou Yin let him hold it and didn't struggle free, which made Zhou Chen a little happier.

In fact, Zhou Yin was not someone who liked to meddle in other people's business. He detested this kind of trouble the most.

But cultivators valued causes and conditions, opportunities and karma. Since he had accepted Yun Zong as a companion back then, and he himself had countless ties with the Shangxuan Sect, and the other party had even written the word "save" on his hand, if he didn't understand this cause today, it would give rise to countless effects in the future, which would also create obstacles for his cultivation.

He said to Zhou Chen, "Don't interfere in this matter. If it can't be resolved, I will tell you."

Humans have their way, and demon beasts have their way. Zhou Chen's appearance here was already against the norm, and Zhou Yin didn't want him to get entangled and make things more complicated because of it.

Zhou Chen looked at him for a while and said with a smile, "Alright."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu's voice came from outside the door.

"Reporting to Senior Uncle, someone from Tianji Peak said that you left something behind earlier and he specially brought it over for you."

Zhou Yin said, "Let him in."

By the time the person entered, Zhou Chen had already transformed into a furball, curled up in Zhou Yin's arms, observing the visitor.

The young attendant was holding a box, the same person who had secretly written in Zhou Yin's palm earlier.

Zhou Yin asked, "What's the matter?"

The attendant said, "You forgot to take another box of spirit stones earlier, so the Peak Master ordered this disciple to deliver it."

Zhou Yin said, "Just put it down."

The attendant put down the box as instructed, but didn't leave, just standing there, seeming to want to say something.

Yun Zong suddenly asked, "Who are you really?"

The attendant opened his mouth, speaking in a completely different voice from before: "Senior Uncles, it's me, Wan Qingqing!"

Author's note:

Setting Reminder:

1. Yu Zhou, the person who came to welcome those from the Mirror Sea Sect with Zhou Yin and others at that time, and accompanied them from the foot of the mountain to compete with the Qinggu Sect. He is also a disciple of Qinghe Zhenren. Whether you remember this or not doesn't matter.

2. Lu Yanping, everyone should still remember, was the former head of the Mirror Sea Sect. Of course, now that the Mirror Sea Sect has merged into the Shangxuan Sect, Lu Yanping naturally became a disciple of the Shangxuan Sect.

3. Wan Qingqing, a disciple of Qingying, was the one who returned early from the desert inn to report the news but ended up missing.

4. The Ziwei Sword, the Ziwei Star is the Emperor Star!
