"Wherever my junior sister wishes to go, senior brother will escort her," Leng Xingzhi asked, not forcefully taking Chu Lingwei back.
"Senior brother, why don't you escort me to Xuanxin Sect? I received news that my father appeared there," Chu Lingwei stated the place she wanted to go.
"Alright."
Two months later, Leng Xingzhi dropped Chu Lingwei at the gate of Xuanxin Sect and left.
Chu Lingwei stood at the entrance, looking at two lazy disciples guarding the gate of Xuanxin Sect, and couldn't help but chuckle, "It's been a few years since I've been here, and it's become like this."
"Weiwei, how about I burn it down?"
Feng Ming knew Weiwei hated this place the most and glared angrily at the gate of Xuanxin Sect. It was best not to leave such a place that caused Weiwei so much suffering.
"No need. Let's go to the market first, and then we'll go in and have a look tonight."
Chu Lingwei shook her head. If her father came here, he likely wouldn't enter openly.
One person and two little beasts arrived at the market of Xuanxin Sect. It was as bustling as ever, seeming to have changed and yet not.
Sitting in the Lingcha Tower, listening to the disciples of Xuanxin Sect talk about the latest news within the sect, Chu Lingwei found it somewhat interesting.
"Little girl, are you a disciple of Xuanxin Sect?" Just then, a charming and sweet voice appeared before her, drawing not only Chu Lingwei's attention but also the gaze of everyone on the second floor towards the speaker.
Seeing the person arrive, Chu Lingwei couldn't help but sigh that the world was indeed small. She hadn't expected to see Meiji of the Hehuan Sect here.
This time, she was alone, not accompanied by her sister Meijiao.
"I am not," Chu Lingwei replied, shaking her head. She wasn't wearing any sect disciple robes.
"That's good. May I sit here?" Meiji sat down uninvited, picked up the teapot casually, and poured herself a cup of spiritual tea. "As expected, it's good tea."
Chu Lingwei watched her drink two cups and momentarily suspected Meiji was eyeing her spiritual tea as the best.
"Fellow Daoist, we don't know each other, do we?"
"I am Meiji of the Hehuan Sect. Do we know each other now?" As Meiji introduced herself, she deliberately unleashed her seductive charm. Chu Lingwei could already hear the sound of teacups falling to the floor.
"Fellow Daoist Meiji, with you like this, I can't even drink my tea properly."
Chu Lingwei glanced at the cultivators on the second floor; their eyes kept darting towards them.
Meiji's face was naturally beautiful, and coupled with her innate seductive aura, few people could resist her.
"Heh heh."
Meiji giggled charmingly. She surveyed the cultivators mesmerized by her and said with feigned shyness, "I can't help it, I don't want to either."
Chu Lingwei felt a ripple of goosebumps. Her words made it impossible for Chu Lingwei to respond.
"I'll treat you to the spiritual tea. I'm leaving now." Chu Lingwei stood up. She still had to enter Xuanxin Sect tonight, and no one could interfere with her plans.
As soon as Chu Lingwei left the Lingcha House, Meiji followed closely, grabbing her arm, "Fellow Daoist, help me. After this is done, I will repay you handsomely."
As Meiji leaned in, Chu Lingwei felt several probing gazes directed at her.
So, she had encountered danger.
"These people are very strong. I am no match for them," Chu Lingwei said truthfully. These individuals were all at the Huatian realm or above. Even if she and Meiji joined forces, they might not be their match.
"I know. Just take me away from here and into an inn. I'll figure out the rest myself."
Meiji bit her lip. She had sent countless distress signals, but no one had come to her aid. This filled her with fear; she might be captured by these people today.
"Let's go."
Chu Lingwei held Meiji's arm and commanded Huan Mao not to use illusions before they entered the inn, to temporarily conceal their identities.
"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist." Seeing that Chu Lingwei hadn't immediately distanced herself, Meiji breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she hadn't misjudged her.
"I may not be able to help you much. You should quickly think of a way to escape." Chu Lingwei was familiar with the market of Xuanxin Sect and led her directly to the Leng family's inn.
"Two Fellow Daoists, all our rooms are occupied. Please go to another inn."
As soon as the two entered the inn, the waiter rushed out. These two had clearly entered their inn to avoid the people outside.
Chu Lingwei threw a Leng family jade token to the waiter. "Take us to a room now."
Upon seeing the Leng family inn, Chu Lingwei chose to help Meiji and led her into the inn.
When the waiter saw the jade token, he was startled and immediately and respectfully led Chu Lingwei and the others to the second floor, arranging two superior rooms for them.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
Meiji sensed that the people outside had not followed, which was certainly related to Chu Lingwei. She bowed and thanked her.
"It was nothing. From now on, it's up to you." Chu Lingwei nodded, left the room, and returned to her own.
"Weiwei, why did you help her?" Huan Mao had met Meiji before and always felt that woman made her uncomfortable.
"We met a few times before. It was a small gesture."
When Chu Lingwei had come to Xuanxin Sect with Leng Xingzhi, she had met Meiji a few times. At that time, Meiji had left a good impression on her.
"However, our identities should have been exposed," Feng Ming sighed. How many people could produce a Leng family jade token?
"We'll think of a solution tonight."
Chu Lingwei sensed that her father was likely no longer in Xuanxin Sect, but she couldn't understand why he would come to Xuanxin Sect and what he was trying to do.
In the evening, the market of Xuanxin Sect was even more lively.
Chu Lingwei led Huan Mao and the others towards the back mountain of Xuanxin Sect. She knew there was a place in the back mountain that could directly enter Xuanxin Sect.
As soon as they entered the vicinity of Xuanxin Sect, several auras converged on them.
"Who is it?"
Chu Lingwei stopped. She had altered her appearance and cultivation. Could these people still recognize her?
"Miss Chu, our young master sent me to inform you that Sect Master Chu is no longer in Xuanxin Sect." A middle-aged man, with no disguise on his face, approached Chu Lingwei.
"Meng Qinghe?"
Chu Lingwei's heart skipped a beat. She had almost forgotten that not long ago, she had nearly destroyed Meng Qinghe's Water City.
He must hate her by now. How could he be so kind as to tell her this?
"Yes, the family head asks Miss Chu to be careful. The person who truly wants to harm you is by your side." The man nodded and replied respectfully.
"Who wants to harm me?"
Chu Lingwei frowned. She didn't have many people around her, and everyone treated her very well. Would they harm her?
