Thinking back to when he was slapped by Ning Sangyu in the market, Lin Yun's resentment grew like a slowly brewing concoction.

The gaze that landed inadvertently on Ning Sangyu's body was both cold and deep, exceptionally striking.

Lin Qi silently watched everything, moving her feet soundlessly, trying to stand to the side a bit.

Don't provoke her if you don't want to cause trouble.

The White-clothed True Monarch seemed to be unaware of the upheaval below, and said coldly, "You are indeed right in this matter, but according to the patrol disciples' reports, you slapped Ning Sangyu across the face?"

Lin Yun was first taken aback, then sneered: "Master Bai Yi, if I was beaten for no reason on the road, can't I fight back?!"

Bai Yi Zhenjun indifferently raised his eyelids, “With your strength, you can’t even touch Ning Sangyu. Someone said they detected the aura of an ancient remnant soul on you. It is rumored that this soul is extremely yin and yang, the people from Tianji Peak have arrived, and the sect needs an explanation.”

Recently, there have been several cases of evil cultivators absorbing souls in the sect. If you truly do have a remnant soul from ancient times, it's hard to guarantee that you wouldn't be suspected.

Looking at Lin Yun's gradually paling face, the White-Clothed True Monarch was as indifferent as ever: "You go with them. If there are no ancient remnant souls, it will also be considered washing your hands of this matter."

"What if I were the one who was wrongly accused?!"

Lin Yun clenched her fists, her dark eyes fixed on the White-Clad Immortal Venerable.

"Or perhaps Master in White has a bias and always tries to find my mistakes, so as to vent for some people?"

Besides the White-Clad True Monarch, there were also Ning siblings and Lin Qi present.

Some of the people she mentioned, I don't know if she's referring to the Ning siblings or Lin Qi.

The White-Clad True Lord suddenly chuckled softly, "Now that I've lifted Ning Sangyu's restrictions, you might slap her again?"

Ningshangyu widened his eyes, full of unwillingness and anger.

She enjoyed watching Lin Yun's performance, but as she watched, she wondered why the performance had somehow turned into her own life?

Why was she slapped by Lin Yun out of the blue?!

Everyone was staring at Lin Yun, his face becoming increasingly pale and gloomy. His whole body radiated an oppressive aura.

She wanted to slap Ning Sangyu again, but with the White-clothed True Monarch right in front of her, she couldn't do it. There was no time for him to help her.

If Rong Shi really made a move, if she were to be discovered by the White-Robed Immortal Venerable, she would probably have to fight to the death at Tiān Yī Sect today.

Lin Yun can't gamble!

After some inner turmoil, she raised her head with a resolute expression and said: "Master, this is asking too much! Slapping Senior Sister Ning this afternoon was just in the heat of the moment, a sudden surge of power. Now that she's prepared, I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage. The first time was an accident, how could I possibly do it again?"

That look of righteousness made it hard for others to press the issue further.

The White-Clothed True Monarch asked, "Then are you going? Shall I go to the Sect Master's place and request a decree? Having the Sect Master witness this will prevent you from saying that I act unfairly."

Lin Yun's heart was pounding, and facing the dark gaze of the white-clothed Immortal Monarch, she naturally lacked confidence.

Although the White-clothed True Monarch said so, she still felt that the White-clothed True Monarch was partial.

On the other hand, she had offended several prestigious outer sect disciples. The sect needed a reason to punish her, appeasing the Ning siblings and calming the rest of the sects.

This is not the first time that Master Baiyi has favored Lin Qi. Even though he appears fair on the surface, perhaps deep down he still favors her because of Lin Qi.

Lin Yun gritted her teeth, but endured silently.

One day, she will make all those who wronged her pay a heavy price!

These people are now bullying and insulting her, but in the future she will have them kneel at her feet trembling and begging for mercy!

After Lin Yun was taken away by the disciples of Tianji Sect, Lin Qi was forced to take back three cultivators who were locked up with to Zhong Lei Peak.

Along the way, several people were unusually quiet. Lin Qi was preoccupied thinking about how Lin Yun felt when he was in Baiyi Zhenjun's cave dwelling.

She seemed eerily to understand what Lin Yun was thinking, even knowing the source of her hatred.

...Lin Qi:

It wasn't until Lin Qi returned to Zhong Lei Peak that she realized why it had been so quiet.

These three people were all silenced by the White-Robed Immortal.

"This... I can't break the Silence Spell cast by Master Yuan Ying. You guys just have to bear with it, maybe it will be better tomorrow."

Actually, Lin Qi was just afraid of hearing some gossip and ruining her good mood if she were to listen.

These three people, except for Ning Sang Ye who is relatively normal, the other two are not good people.

Lin Qi tossed the person to the foreman in charge of repairing the Eight-Column Heavenly Thunder Ladder, instructing him to take the man away that night. She herself walked lightly towards the small courtyard.

Just as I walked to the door, Luo Ci from next door pushed it open and came out.

"Second Sister, you've finally come back!"

What did the Sect Master say? Have there been any news from the masters?

Lin Qi ran around and got tired. She waved at Luo Ci: "Go to your room and make me a cup of good spirit tea to refresh myself."

<>

But he wanted to hear from his master, so he was forced to make tea and sat in front of Lin Qi with a small stool, his eyes full of curiosity.

Lin Qi, like an ox chewing peony flowers, gulped down the tea as if it were water. She placed the teacup heavily on the table and sighed deeply.

"What a pity!"

After holding it in all day, I finally got to vent!

Luoci felt a little startled. You were sizing her up, carefully asking, "Could it be... that Master had something happen to him?"

Lin Qi glanced at him: "Master is fine."

"Finally, Luo Ci let out a breath. He looked unconvinced and said, "You just had such a serious expression that I thought something was wrong with Master!"

Lin Qi flipped her eyes. “Master’s fine, but your senior sister might be in trouble.”

"What's going on?" Lu Ci's eyes held more interest in the drama unfolding than genuine concern.

Lin Qi: "......and those wastrels are tied up together!"

Luo Ci subconsciously took two steps back, but was caught by Lin Qi's quick eyes and hands.

Lin Qi's eyes were fixed on Luo Ci, sizing him up and down. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in her eyes. "Junior brother, this time, you absolutely have to help me!"

Luoci struggled but couldn't break free.

He, of course, knew what Lin Qi was coveting.

My heart was pounding, but I also thought to myself: "Senior sister, didn't you say that my good luck only affects me and is useless to you? It might even drag you down."

"That's because I was acting independently from you. There wasn't any danger this time. Just lend me a little luck in front of those hooligans, and your senior sister will definitely repay you!"

Finally, Lin Qi used both soft and hard tactics and managed to persuade Luo Ci.

When he finished listening to the White-Robe True Monarch assigning Lin Qi tasks, a hint of genuine emotion finally appeared in his eyes.

"Second Sister, shouldn't you go to Tiangjifeng to ask for a few turning-fortune talismans? I feel like your luck hasn't been good lately either?"

Lin Qi: "..."

This master and apprentice are related, and still have to be used. They can't be moved for now!

<<>>>

Luoci had already asked her several times, and now he was clinging to her, refusing to let go.

"What happened to Big Sister? She's the only normal good person in our sect, we can't afford to lose her!"

Lin Qi was much more genuine and heartfelt than Bi, who just acted pitiful.
