Seeing the three of them leave, Lin Mufeng’s face remained solemn. He raised his hand to place multiple barriers in the room. He only spoke after that. “Qingyun, you may speak now.”

Lin Qingyun nodded and told him her experience from beginning to end. “I’ll have to start from when I was invited to the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty…”

As Lin Qingyun spoke, Lin Mufeng’s face kept on changing. Sometimes nervous, sometimes excited, sometimes terrified, sometimes uneasy…

When she finally finished speaking, his face was filled with excitement. He called out with a grin, “Great! Brilliant! Great!”

“Qingyun, you did the right thing! However, you made a small mistake.”

“Hm? What have I done wrong?” Lin Qingyun questioned.

“The expert’s power is way beyond our imagination. What makes you think he cares about the elixirs? It’s the wrong way of seeing it! I’m guessing that this was a test! He was testing your sincerity!”

Lin Mufeng said he was merely guessing, but his tone was assertive and his face seemed as if he was very certain.

Lin Qingyun’s pupils dilated. She exclaimed, “This makes sense!”

“Luckily, none of you disappointed the expert. That’s why he was willing to give each of you a packet of tea leaves,” Lin Mufeng said, feeling fortunate. His daughter’s accidental encounter turned out to be such a big opportunity! This was a blessing to the entire Lingyun Immortal Pavilion!

The tea leaves contained Insights! Though the expert might not even care about it, to the cultivators, the Insights were priceless! They symbolized unlimited possibilities! The sixteen Spiritual Herbs would not be as useful as half the tea leaves! Not even if there were twenty, or even a hundred of them.

Lin Mufeng continued, “If I’m not mistaken, you showed the most sincerity out of all of them. That’s why the expert gave you an additional promise.”

“I see.” Lin Qingyun nodded. She even brought over all the elixirs her father was supposed to use for his breakthrough. Who else could be more sincere than her?

In this sense, it seemed that he knew about her father’s breakthrough all along?

His realm was…scary! Terrifying!

“You can’t use his promise!” Lin Mufeng stated, his tone determined. “This would be the bond between us and the expert. So, unless it was a matter of life and death, we shouldn’t use this. Also, the favor would have to be carefully asked. It must be within our scope, or else we might offend the expert!”

This promise was not just precious. Thinking of it made Lin Mufeng shiver!

If news were to spread, even the Immortals would be jealous of them!

After a moment of thought, Lin Mufeng continued, “I had a breakthrough because of the tea leaves he gave us. We’ll visit him soon, but we can’t go empty-handed. What’s there in the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion that would not disappoint the expert?”

Lin Qingyun frowned as well. The expert’s house was filled with Spiritual Items and Machines. What else would he need?

“Let’s bring this.” Lin Mufeng’s eyes were assertive. He had made his decision. “Qingyun, let’s go and visit the expert tomorrow.”

…

Night had fallen. The forest became restless without the Silver Moon Demon King. In the darkness, black shadows flitted here and there from time to time, with monsters breaking into fights to secure the throne. Even the older Monsters who had been laying low returned to the scene, scrambling for the throne to become the next King.

The forests were filled with strange sounds.

Li Nianfan frowned. He felt uneasy. “What is it recently? Not long ago, there were so many cultivators gathering here, flying in the sky. Now that the cultivators are finally gone, the forests are getting lively again. Are these the cries of monsters? Or even…ghosts?”

Li Nianfan fidgeted in his bed. He even started to question his decision of living in the forest. How would his ordinary four-part building be able to withstand the wilderness?

Daji was standing in the inner court. She frowned when she heard the cries coming from all four corners. Her eyes flickered.

These monsters had the nerve to disturb her master’s sleep! They were asking for death!

She gently pushed open the door and walked out. Not far from her, a white shadow was looking at the door from a tree branch. Upon seeing her, the tiny white fox trembled and ran toward her.

“Sister…”

The Six-Tailed Fox’s eyes turned watery. It snuggled in Daji’s arms, cuddling her with its head.

Daji was slightly shocked. She could feel the little fox’s fear and terror. She asked, “What happened?”

“I’m terrified.” The little fox patted its chest, its six tails trembling. “Last night, the Silver Moon Demon King led a bunch of monsters to trap me. I was almost caught by them, and I thought I’d never see you again… Waa…”

Daji halted. She asked worriedly, “How did you escape?”

The little fox wailed for a little longer before continuing, “An old man and a young lady said they were going to take the life of the Silver Moon Demon King and they started fighting. I ran away during the fight.”

An old man and a young lady?

Daji halted and suddenly remembered what happened in the morning.

That was probably Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji!

Suddenly, it all made sense to her. So, it was no coincidence this morning. They were chasing after the Silver Moon Demon King!

In other words, Li Nianfan had already predicted this! He set these all up effortlessly! Or else, why would Yao Mengji and Qin Manyu happen to be there when they captured her sister? Why would he go hunting in the morning and end up shooting the Silver Moon Demon King?

No wonder! It was all part of his plan!

Her eyes darkened. Li Nianfan saved her sister, and even helped them take revenge! He was too kind to the both of them!

The little fox was comforted. Suddenly, it became active again and scoffed, “The Silver Moon Demon King’s so evil! I wonder if he’s dead…”

Daji’s expression was strange. She pointed at a tree beside them. “Do you see that?”

Hm?

The Six-Tailed Fox halted slightly as it turned its tiny head to look closely.

Instantly, its fur stood up in terror. It jumped onto Daji and cried out in fear, “Silver Moon Demon King? Sister! Run!”

Daji was speechless. “Look closer.”

The little fox stretched out its tiny head anxiously. Suddenly, its tiny mouth parted, its eyes wide open.

“It’s…the feathers of the eagle?” Its face was filled with disbelief. The little fox could not believe its eyes. “Sister, that’s…that’s the feathers of the Silver Moon Demon King?”

“Exactly.” Daji nodded. “It’s completely dead! Its feathers have all been plucked out and the body has been processed by Mr. Li. It’s cleaned now and should be ready for the table tomorrow!”
