Gao Changlin promptly said, "Thereās trouble at Yunquan Temple. Your Uncle Lin and Yang Mei are back, and Yang Mei heard that her father is here, so she asked me to lead the way."
"Sister Yang Mei?"
Yang Jie heard this and quickly looked toward Yang Mei and Liang Yuan behind him.
Only then did he recognize that the woman with an excellent figure was his childhood crush, Sister Yang Mei.
He immediately grew excited and shouted, "Sister Yang Mei, you... youāre okay? Thatās great, thatās great."
"Yang Jie, donāt get carried away," someone beside him cautioned.
Yang Jie excitedly said, "Yang Hai, look carefully, itās Sister Yang Mei. She and Uncle Lin are not from Yunquan Temple; they werenāt in Meishan Village when we initially went up the mountain."
The young man named Yang Hai was also a bit puzzled. He said, "Letās find out before we talk."
"Uncle Lin, Uncle Gao, you said something happened at Yunquan Temple. What do you mean?"
Yang Hai stared at the two old men, casting a wary glance at Liang Yuan and Yang Mei, and asked cautiously.
Old Yang promptly said, "We had just gone up the mountain when we encountered Li Guoxiang and his group. They deceived us, saying Yang Meiās father was at Yunquan Temple, and we believed them, getting tricked into Yunquan Temple."
Yang Hai heard this, his gaze narrowed slightly, and asked, "So you escaped?"
"Uh... not exactly escaped." Old Yang felt that Yang Haiās word choice was inaccurate.
Yang Hai frowned and said, "I donāt care how you got out, but since youāve been to Yunquan Temple, you should know that Yunquan Temple and our Jieshi Academy are like fire and water. I canāt let you in easily."
Old Yang hesitated for a moment upon hearing this and said, "Then... itās fine if we donāt go in. Can you call Yang Youwei out? His daughter is here to see him; you wouldnāt deny them a meeting, would you?"
Yang Hai was silent for a moment and really had no response.
They wanted to see her father, and he shouldnāt block them logically or emotionally.
Yang Jie took a deep breath and said to Yang Hai, "Yang Hai, itās just a few people; there shouldnāt be a problem. Itās unlikely they were sent by Jieshi Academy."
Yang Hai shook his head cautiously, "No, we canāt let them in now."
He gave a look to Yang Jie, who understood what he meant.
Li Xiangyang had taken most of the staff, and now Jieshi Academy was just an empty shell. They couldnāt let outsiders know the situation inside.
So it was absolutely impossible to let them in now.
Yang Jie nodded slightly, suppressed his excitement, and looked at his childhood crush who wasnāt far away.
He took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Youwei is not in Jieshi Academy."
Old Yang promptly asked, "Heās not?"
He looked at Gao Changlin, "Old Gao, didnāt you say Uncle Youwei was here?"
Gao Changlin looked at Yang Jie and said, "Xiaojie, Yang Hai, I remember Yang Youwei was rescued by Xiangyang back then; why isnāt he here now?"
"And Iāve also heard he was almost captured by Li Kuirongās men several times; it was always someone from your side who rescued him."
Yang Jie said, "What I mean is heās temporarily not here; today heās out on patrol, you arrived at an unlucky time."
Gao Changlin fell silent briefly, and Old Yang pressed, "When will he be back?"
"I donāt know."
"Then can we go in and wait for him?" Old Yang asked again.
Yang Jie immediately said, "No way! Uncle Lin, since you came from Yunquan Temple, you should know we have a blood feud with the people from Yunquan Temple over there. We must be careful. If you want to wait, go under that tree over there."
He pointed to a large tree not far away.
Old Yang was helpless, exchanged a glance with Gao Changlin, and walked to Liang Yuan and Yang Mei to explain briefly.
After hearing it, Liang Yuanās eyes flicked and he said, "Is it such a coincidence? We come here, and Yang Meiās father happens to be out patrolling?"
Gao Changlin couldnāt help but say, "The people at Jieshi Academy are not comfortable with those coming from Yunquan Temple, so they may be somewhat wary of us."
Old Yang couldnāt help but say, "You mean they suspect weāre undercover agents from Yunquan Temple?"
Gao Changlin didnāt speak, but his expression said it all.
Yang Mei was somewhat anxious and quickly stepped forward, approaching Yang Hai and Yang Jie.
"Yang Jie, Yang Hai, Iām Yang Mei. Weāre really not undercover agents from Yunquan Temple. The people led by the village head were all killed by Liang Yuan. They were trying to harm us. We couldnāt possibly be undercover agents. Please believe me and tell me where my dad is."
Yang Jie and Yang Hai heard this and showed looks of surprise and doubt.
They exchanged a glance, and Yang Jie couldnāt help but say, "Sister Yang Mei, what are you saying? Li Kuirong, that beast, is dead?"
Yang Hai also looked full of doubt, "Sister Yang Mei, how many people do you have? Li Kuirong, that beast, has considerable prestige in Yunquan Temple, with more than thirty superpower users at his disposal."
Yang Mei explained, "There are only three of us, mostly because Liang Yuan took the action. Yang Hai, donāt worry, weāre really not here to cause trouble. Just tell me where my dad is, I wonāt go in; Iāll just find my dad."
She was anxious to see her father and didnāt want to wait here.
After hearing this, Yang Hai became even more suspicious, "Just the three of you?"
He looked at Liang Yuan; among these four, Liang Yuan was the only one he didnāt recognize. He knew the other three.
It was obvious that this person should be Liang Yuan.
According to Yang Mei, it was this person who killed Li Kuirongās group?
Isnāt that nonsense?
One person killing a group of superpower users, how is that possible?
Liang Yuan saw that they hadnāt told Yang Meiās fatherās whereabouts after talking for a long time and couldnāt help but slightly frown.
He also walked over and said, "The two of you, we donāt want trouble, weāre just here to find Yang Meiās father. If heās here, please inform him. If heās not, please tell us where he is, weāll find him ourselves."
