"Why was she crying while bringing up Xiao Jin?" Liuli asked curiously.
Qing Yun raised an eyebrow, "She kept saying that Xiao Jin and she used to be the best of friends, but due to some matters, misunderstandings arose, leading to estrangement."
"Is this… wanting to mend the relationship?" Liuli guessed.
Now that Zhao Wuji was clearly about to be overthrown, Heavenly Sword Peak was the side with overwhelming momentum. That Ye Danxia wanting to ease relations was normal.
Qing Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If that were truly the case, it could still be considered understandable. But that person's brain seems to have some issues."
Qing Yun recalled Qi Yu's account and continued, "At that time, Qi Yu thought the same and asked her whether she had any misunderstanding with Yun Jin and whether she needed him to mediate."
"In the end, that Ye Danxia couldn't explain what the misunderstanding even was and instead cried even harder, repeatedly saying she couldn't watch her good sister go astray, and so on. She hinted to Qi Yu that Yun Jin had only been in contact with the Immortal Dao for three months, so it was impossible for her to be an alchemy genius, and also said she had a ring with all sorts of strange things inside, and perhaps it was those things that helped her deceive everyone and obtain the Alchemist Token."
Qing Yun said this with some amusement.
The others were also speechless.
If this Alchemist Token could be forged so easily, then the whole world would be full of alchemists!
"And then?" Liuli was curious. "Why did she say all this to Qi Yu?"
Qing Yun sneered, "What she meant was that Yun Jin is probably a fake genius and that she is the real alchemy genius. She hoped Qi Yu would bring her to meet me, probably wanting to continue showing off her talent before me, and then continue crying. Qi Yu had originally wanted to evaluate Ye Danxia a bit to see if she could be taken as a disciple, but after that whole performance, he stopped bothering with her and did not go to Huo Lie's appointment either. He just turned around and left. After returning, he told me about the whole matter."
"My first reaction was that this person's brain must be sick. After that, I told Qi Yu to inquire a bit. As a seventh-rank alchemist, he is regarded as an honored guest in Tianxing Sect, so with just a little inquiry, he got the general picture. This Ye Danxia and our Xiao Jin truly have deep connections."
As Qing Yun spoke, he smiled and looked toward Yun Jin.
Yun Jin showed an embarrassed expression, "Master, don't make fun of me anymore."
Cang Li said, "Speaking of which, that Ye Danxia also seemed to have approached me."
Oh?
Everyone looked toward Cang Li.
Cang Li frowned, "I went to find Yang Yuan for a drink and ran into this person on the way. She suddenly fell in front of me for no reason. How could a cultivator suddenly fall over? I thought she was strange, so I ignored her."
"Then a few days later, I ran into her again. This time she was sitting somewhere, crying nonstop and shouting something about father and mother. I also ignored her, and she suddenly chased after me, saying she was a daughter of the Yun family."
Yun Jin's lips twitched.
Cang Li glanced at Yun Jin and said, "Since it concerned the Yun family, I asked a few more questions. She was evasive at first, but under my questioning, she finally said she was the adopted daughter of the Yun family. But she kept emphasizing that although she was adopted, it was no different from being a biological daughter. She also said how little junior sister supposedly snatched her ring, how she bullied her, and even insinuated that little junior sister abused the items in the ring to become a genius."
Cang Li shook his head, also finding it somewhat amusing.
He had only left behind some items usable by low-level cultivators, if that alone could create a genius, then he would be far too powerful.
Moreover, she's just an adopted daughter. On what basis did she think he would ignore the Yun family's bloodline to care about her?
This line of thinking was really bizarre.
Once Cang Li figured it out, he no longer paid attention to Ye Danxia and directly left.
After hearing these two short stories, Ji Wusi and Liuli were both full of speechless astonishment.
This Ye Danxia… seemed mentally unstable.
Qing Yun briefly explained the grievances between Yun Jin and Ye Danxia that Qi Yu had uncovered and concluded, "Anyway, our Xiao Jin didn't suffer any loss."
The others nodded repeatedly.
As long as Xiao Jin didn't suffer any loss, then there's no big problem.
"That Ye Danxia was originally supposed to be executed." Liuli glanced at Ji Wusi. "Because of the Demon-Destroying Token, she was temporarily imprisoned to await investigation by the Demon-Destroying Alliance. This time, she's even given an opportunity to be released."
Ji Wusi coughed, somewhat embarrassed, "Since the Demon-Destroying Alliance was founded, there have indeed been some people abusing its authority. I will rectify this when I return. As for Ye Danxia, since she bears such grave crimes, I can immediately, in the name of the Demon-Destroying Alliance, commence judgment. If quick, her sentence can be determined in two or three days."
Judgment?
Yun Jin hurriedly said, "There's no need to trouble Master to act. The matter of Ye Danxia can be left for this disciple to resolve on her own."
"Oh?" Ji Wusi looked at Yun Jin in confusion.
Since she's an enemy, shouldn't she be immediately eradicated?
Yun Jin only said, "This disciple can handle it herself."
Ye Danxia was protected by Qi Luck. As long as her Qi Luck remained, she would probably not die easily.
Moreover, Yun Jin still needed Ye Danxia to draw out the male lead.
In the book she was in, although it claimed to be a story about a strong female lead, it actually emphasized strong female lead, even stronger male lead.
That Demon Lord male lead was Ye Danxia's biggest backing.
She had to strip both of them of their Qi Luck completely before she could truly put them to death.
Since Yun Jin said so, Ji Wusi no longer pressed further.
Just a Qi Refining Stage disciple, she could no longer pose any threat to Yun Jin. Since the disciple wanted to handle it herself, then let her handle it.
Naturally, Ji Wusi and the others would not put someone like Ye Danxia in their eyes. Qing Yun and Cang Li treated her like a joke. After talking about it, the matter was considered done.
By evening, Ji Wusi and the others were on Heavenly Sword Peak, drinking together for a while. Then they agreed on something and simultaneously bid farewell.
When leaving, they each gave Yun Jin a communication token. With these tokens, Yun Jin could contact them.
That wasn't all.
The few of them were still not at ease and stuffed Yun Jin with some protective life-saving items before temporarily departing.
At the summit of Heavenly Sword Peak, the wind howled, and the bright moon hung high.
With many people suddenly gone and only a few from Heavenly Sword Peak remaining, the atmosphere instantly became much quieter.
Lin Ya sighed, "Xiao Jin, in the end, I have dragged you down. Otherwise, those three Holy Lands would've been yours to choose."
Yun Jin smiled, "Master, did you think my previous words were nonsense? Regardless of the matter with Qingxiao Pavilion, I wouldn't have joined any Holy Land."
Yun Jin looked at Lin Ya, and at the others.
Then she said softly, "Master, first secure the position of Sect Leader. Then we will build Tianxing Sect together, mid-tier sect, upper-tier sect, super sect, and even… Holy Land. When I said I wanted to open a new Dao, I meant it from the start. This time, I give myself ten years. In ten years, I want Tianxing Sect to become a Holy Land."
Yue Zhao and the others trembled inwardly.
They really wanted to say, don't joke around.
But Yun Jin didn't seem to be joking at all.
Yue Zhao suddenly remembered when Yun Jin said she would refine a Grade Seven Pill.
Back then.
They also didn't believe it. They also doubted.
But in the end, Yun Jin created that miracle.
So this time?
Why can't there be another miracle?
Probably because he was a transmigrator, Yue Zhao did not have that innate fear toward Holy Lands. He smiled and was the first to say, "Alright. Since it is Junior Sister's wish, I will fully support you!"
Yun Jin extended her hand, and Yue Zhao placed his hand over it.
Si Wanning scratched her head, "It sounds a little ridiculous… but same as last time, I'll join too."
Another hand was placed on top.
Yu Songnian silently placed his own hand.
Then everyone simultaneously looked at Lin Ya.
Lin Ya was stunned by this disciple's boldness.
To make Tianxing Sect into a Holy Land was such an absurd thing, and they were actually serious?
"Master, we're only missing you," Yun Jin stared at him.
Lin Ya didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he placed his hand on the pile, "Alright, alright. If you all want to make trouble, I can only accompany you."
