"Just go then! Remember to be careful, just donât let others see you!"
"Mm-hmm! I got it!"
Seeing Shu Fan say this, Ye Qinzhen didnât bother with being embarrassed anymore and quickly nodded with delight, then quietly left the inn with Shu Fan.
Inside the innâs room.
With the Illusion Sound Sect Leaderâs cultivation, Shu Fan and Ye Qinzhenâs departure was immediately sensed by the other party.
Opening their eyes, they just glanced in the direction of Shu Fan and Ye Qinzhen, then closed their eyes again.
Not intending to stop anything.
"Mages are supposed to be free and unrestrained!"
Once, for personal reasons, they borrowed Fu Zhengqingâs power, which gave Illusion Sound Sect its current strength.
But Fu Zhengqingâs help was certainly not selfless.
The price was that the Illusion Sound Sect had to secretly do some shady things for Fu Zhengqing.
The Illusion Sound Sect Leader now began to regret it.
But unfortunately, Fu Zhengqing wasnât someone you could just shake off if you wanted to.
Particularly when thinking about.
What they heard at Fu Zhengqingâs residence before returning to the inn, the Illusion Sound Sect Leader couldnât help but clench a fist.
"Itâs just sending your disciple to die, not letting you die yourself; since I helped elevate the Illusion Sound Sect, I can naturally destroy it too, think it over carefully."
"After this, I can promise to have nothing more to do with the Illusion Sound Sect."
"Think it over well, using a few disciplesâ lives to trade for the future of the Illusion Sound Sect, isnât it a worthy deal?"
Fu Zhengqingâs few words.
Like a curse, still echoed around the Illusion Sound Sect Leader.
Although they had killed many before, those were all enemies, but this time itâs differentâitâs their own disciples who will die.
Whether it was a newfound conscience or for other reasons.
The Illusion Sound Sect Leader didnât immediately agree this time.
"Havenât enough of my Illusion Sound Sect disciples died for you already?"
Previously working for Fu Zhengqing, the Illusion Sound Sect had already lost quite a few disciples.
"Hmm?"
Fu Zhengqing seemed not to have expected.
That the other would talk back this way.
However.
Fu Zhengqing didnât mind, instead, he laughed sarcastically.
"I said this will be the last time, if you dare to refuse, just as I brought the Illusion Sound Sect into existence, I can make it disappear!"
,,
Seeing Fu Zhengqing threaten the future of their sect.
There was no way; the Illusion Sound Sect Leader ultimately had to compromise.
This was why, upon returning, the Illusion Sound Sect Leader looked incredibly upset.
After all, being a Third Grade mage, there was pride to uphold.
Being continually threatened in this way, internal dissatisfaction only grows and will not disappear.
Thinking of this.
Sitting cross-legged in the room, the Illusion Sound Sect Leader clenched their fist with a difficult expression, yet ultimately didnât explode.
The room was silent.
Only a few teacups on the table cracked.
,,,
"Letâs part ways here then!"
At this time on Shu Fanâs side.
After leaving the inn with Ye Qinzhen and walking for a while more, they planned to part ways with Ye Qinzhen.
They intended to go find Ye Liuyun; it wasnât like they could continue staying with Ye Qinzhen.
Besides, wasnât Ye Qinzhen also looking to find her lover boy?
"Alright!"
Actually, after leaving the inn, Ye Qinzhen noticed that the road Shu Fan was taking was the same direction she was supposed to go, so she just followed along.
Hearing what Shu Fan said now.
She thought maybe Shu Fan had something smiley to hide from her, but Ye Qinzhen wasnât someone who liked to dig into things.
So she didnât say anything, just nodded in agreement.
Turning and walking in another direction.
Ye Qinzhen, being a local of the Great Qian Imperial City, was certainly more familiar with the roads than Shu Fan; taking another route, though longer, would still get her there.
As for Shu Fan.
After Ye Qinzhen left, Shu Fan realized they only knew the general direction of Ye Liuyunâs residence, not the exact location.
Forget it.
They would just ask someone, anyway Ye Qinzhen wasnât shy, asking for directions would be a breeze.
,,,
Only!
In less than half an hour.
Outside Ye Liuyunâs residence, Shu Fan and Ye Qinzhen ran into each other.
"???"
They were both about to climb over the wall directly, but when they landed, Shu Fan and Ye Qinzhen saw each other appearing at the same time in front of them.
For a moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Shu Fan and Ye Qinzhen just stared wide-eyed at each other, neither speaking up first.
"Senior Sister?"
Finally.
Ye Qinzhen couldnât hold back and spoke first.
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course, Iâm here to find someone!"
Initially, seeing Ye Qinzhen, Shu Fan felt a bit guilty.
But then they quickly realized.
No, what was there to feel guilty about, they werenât doing anything wrong, looking for Ye Liuyun had nothing to do with Ye Qinzhen, right?
Realizing this, Shu Fan immediately became more justified.
"What about you? What are you doing here?"
"Uh!"
She didnât expect Shu Fan to suddenly become so assertive.
However.
Ye Qinzhen didnât think too much about it and answered seriously.
"Iâm also here to find someone!"
"Here to find someone?"
First with confusion, then Shu Fan couldnât help but laugh.
"This is Ye Liuyunâs residence, and youâre here to find someone, are you here for Ye Liuyun?"
"Senior Sister, do you know Young Master Ye?"
Ye Qinzhen looked surprised.
Clearly not expecting Shu Fan to know Ye Liuyun, if they didnât know him, they couldnât have called out Ye Liuyunâs name so casually!
