"Please don't be angry with me anymore. I really didn't mean any harm when I said those things. You know I said it beforehand. It was just my personal opinion."
"Well, how it goes ultimately depends on your master's opinion, doesn't it? You agree, right?" After Bai Ke said this, Ling Xin'er finally gave him a pleasant look.
Bai Ke, who was involved in this incident, wanted to roll his eyes. It really isn't easy to coax a girl. No wonder they say a woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea, tsk tsk tsk.
Just as Ling Xin'er's expression softened slightly and she was about to say something more, she turned her head and saw Bai Ke looking in one direction.
She couldn't help but follow Bai Ke's gaze. Just as Bai Ke was waiting for Ling Xin'er's response, he suddenly sensed spatial fluctuations around him.
He turned his head and saw Ning Fengyi suddenly appear there, with Tian Xin, who had just been driven away by Bai Ke, behind her.
"Master, where did you go?" Ling Xin'er ran to Tian Xin's side and asked hurriedly.
"Hehe, when I came here just now, I saw your master was about to go out, so I brought her back."
"It's better to clarify things face-to-face when there's a problem!" Ning Fengyi replied to Ling Xin'er's words with a smile.
Then he turned to Tian Xin and said, "See? What did I tell you? Bai Ke didn't do it on purpose, did he?"
As you just heard, it was just a misunderstanding. I know Bai Ke well; although he can be a bit muddle-headed at times, his character and integrity are still good.
He generally won't cause trouble unless provoked! I'm telling you, you really need to work on that short temper!
Tian Xin, standing to the side, kept her head down and remained silent.
"Sect Leader Uncle, what brings you here?" Bai Ke stepped forward and asked Ning Fengyi.
"Well, I'm here to discuss something important with you. Your father will be here soon too!"
He would never admit that he had spied on Bai Ke and his junior sister arguing and rushed over to smooth things over. Just in case, he also used a sound transmission talisman to call Bai Yan over as well.
Here's what happened: Just as Ning Fengyi and her junior brother Su Anqing were enjoying tea and playing chess atop an unnamed mountain peak, they suddenly heard a dragon's roar coming from the direction of Tianxiu Peak.
Ning Fengyi couldn't help but wonder what had happened, so she pointed her finger in the air, and a mirror immediately appeared in mid-air.
The mirror radiated an ethereal light. Around it were reliefs of mythical beasts, but upon closer inspection, none of them appeared in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Everything Bai Ke experienced at Tianxiu Peak turned into images, which appeared in this mirror.
On one side was her junior sister, and on the other was her most promising disciple. Seeing this scene, Ning Fengyi immediately rushed over and happened to run into Tian Xin, who was about to leave in a huff.
Just as Ning Fengyi finished speaking, Tian Xin suddenly raised her head, seemingly quite surprised, after hearing that Bai Yan would be arriving soon.
"What important matter could it be that has summoned you, Sect Leader, to come in person?"
"I'll talk to you about this separately later; it's a bit inconvenient right now."
Seeing this, Bai Ke nodded and didn't ask any more questions. A moment later, Bai Yan also arrived. The scene instantly became somewhat awkward.
Tian Xin remained silent with her head down, looking uncomfortable, but would occasionally glance in Bai Yan's direction.
Bai Yan, on the other hand, barely noticed what was happening here. After arriving, he discussed matters with Ning Fengyi and Bai Ke, only giving Tian Xin a brief greeting.
"Well, how about this? I have something important to discuss with Bai Ke. You guys wait here for a bit, we'll be right back!"
"Yes! Senior Brother Sect Leader!" Bai Yan and Tian Xin replied in unison. Bai Yan's face remained expressionless, but Tian Xin's face was flushed, as if she were shy.
Seeing Ning Fengyi give instructions to Tian Xin and her own father, Ling Xin'er, who was standing to the side, seemed a little at a loss.
Besides, there are people here, so it's best not to make her feel awkward. So he said to Ling Xin'er, who was standing to the side, "Xin'er, you should go back and rest first. I'll come find you later."
Ling Xin'er also felt that she would be very embarrassed in a moment. She had heard about her master and Senior Brother Bai's father.
To avoid making the three of them uncomfortable later, after hearing Bai Ke's words, she immediately nodded, bid farewell to everyone present, and returned to her room.
"Let's go outside and talk!" Ning Fengyi said to Bai Ke as they walked outside.
"Yes!" Bai Ke followed Ning Fengyi outside.
"Originally, there was no rush to tell you this today. But I was worried that you and your Uncle Tian would have a falling out, so I dared to come and smooth things over."
I'm just letting you know about this and asking for your opinion.
Just now, shortly after you left the sect's main hall, our spies in the Moyun Kingdom sent a message. Guess what it said?
"Sect Leader, you jest. I don't have clairvoyance or super hearing, how would I know what the news is? Please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!"
"Our spies have brought news that the King of Moyun Kingdom is dead. His body was discovered by his servants last night."
"What? Dead! Was the cause of death stated?"
"It's still unclear. The spies only said they couldn't determine the cause of death. The king had no internal or external injuries, and the people of Moyun Kingdom claimed that he died suddenly."
"The death of the ruler of Moyun Kingdom is too suspicious; there's clearly something wrong with it!"
"Of course, but the people of Moyun Kingdom have said that he died suddenly and they can't find out the cause of death of the king. So even our Tiance Palace can't forcibly interfere and investigate."
So, I wanted to talk to you about this matter and ask if anything strange or strange people happened when you were in Moyun Kingdom.
According to my spies, I think there's another possibility regarding the cause of death of the ruler of Moyun Kingdom.
"What is it?"
"Soul annihilation!"
"Soul annihilation? Does that mean the soul was killed? Or that the soul was scattered?" Bai Ke asked curiously.
“Exactly! If the king shows no abnormalities, it is very likely that his soul has been shattered. Only this explanation makes more sense.”
Bai Ke slowly processed what Ning Fengyi had just told him, while also recalling what had happened to him in Mo Yun Kingdom.
His soul was killed... his soul... right, the only person he encountered in the Kingdom of Moyun who was somewhat connected to his soul and also had a close relationship with the ruler of the Kingdom of Moyun was—the Sixth Prince!
That other person from another world who, like him, transmigrated!
"Sect Leader, I remember now. There's a good chance that someone knows a little bit about the reason behind this!"
"Oh? Who is it?"
"It was the person who ambushed us on our way back to Tian Ce Palace after this training, trying to kill us. It was the sixth prince of Mo Yun Kingdom, Yuan Di."
