After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 100 Encounter
The journey was incredibly quiet, with everyone strictly following orders and staying in their respective rooms.

Aside from the deputy garden masters who were inspecting the various gardens, they had already inspected the East Fourth Garden when Chen Lan arrived, so it was only a matter of time before they came to her place.

So... Liu Feng needs to come out quickly too.

Chen Lan placed a restriction on his cave dwelling, and then immediately took out the immortal abode.

Almost at the same time that the Immortal Abode was released, Liu Feng jumped out.

"Quickly, take it back!"

Liu Feng gave a quiet but urgent reminder.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan quickly retrieved her immortal abode, without even having a chance to go inside and take a look.

The immortal abode appeared and disappeared instantly, as if Liu Feng had materialized out of thin air.

There was a very brief moment during which spiritual energy was leaked out, but because it was so short and happened inside the house, it didn't cause any disturbance.

"What's wrong?" Chen Lan asked Liu Feng softly.

"This is a critical moment. We absolutely cannot allow the Immortal Abode to reappear, or we'll be finished if it's discovered," Liu Feng said. "From now on, unless we leave Qingyue Sect, we cannot use it again."

"Okay... what about my junior sister and the others?"

"Don't worry, everyone is doing well. There's plenty of food and drink in the immortal abode, so there's nothing to worry about. Besides, being next to the spring spirit allows us to cultivate in peace," Liu Feng said with a smile.

The ice flower is the source, rich in spiritual energy. With it nearby, it's like cultivating while sitting on a spiritual spring, it's incredibly comfortable.

Moreover, in the immortal abode, one is not disturbed by outside affairs, and everyone can focus on cultivation without worrying about other trivial matters.

This state of complete focus is something that many people envy!

"That's good. I was worried that everyone would be concerned about me and wouldn't be in the mood to cultivate," Chen Lan said with a smile.

"We were a little worried at first, but since my junior sister trusts you, everyone's calmed down," Liu Feng said. "By the way, what's the situation inside the sect now?"

Chen Lan quickly explained the situation, leaving Liu Feng looking completely bewildered.

"Lin Zhaofeng and Zhao Ning? You mean, the sect leader suspects them?"

"Lin Zhaofeng is alright, but it's Zhao Ning who's the problem," Chen Lan said. "She just happened to leave the sect around that time, and the sect leader and the others seemed to be in a hurry. When they came back, four of the sect leaders were missing!"

In other words, Qingyue Sect sent four garden masters directly to find Zhao Ning!

That's the owner of the garden! Normally, it's a big deal if one person is sent out to do something, let alone four people being sent out today!
Chen Lan noticed this and also realized that the sect leader was clearly distracted when he spoke to them after returning, so she guessed that Zhao Ning had become the person they suspected.

Liu Feng: …

"She's quite pitiful. I hope she's alright."

To be honest, people don't have a good impression of Qingyue Sect and Liu Wuhan. They have the arrogance and indifference that only major sects and seniors have, which makes them hard to get close to.

But for ordinary disciples, they had no grudges against each other. If Zhao Ning were to suffer because of them...

"No, she didn't really do anything detrimental to the sect. Even if they investigate, they'll only find out it's a misunderstanding. Nothing will happen," Chen Lan said nonchalantly.

Just like so many disciples who were investigated today, none of them did anything wrong, so although they were nervous, they were not afraid, and everything was fine after the investigation.

I suppose Zhao Ning was the same way.

"That's good. Alright, I need to go back to my room. We're almost there." Liu Feng heard rustling sounds outside and was about to leave. But as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into a small group of people.

The person in the lead was a steward here, who was in charge of miscellaneous matters for the disciples of the Rotation School.

"Liu Feng? What are you doing in Chen Lan's room?"

The steward was also somewhat surprised, his gaze shifting between the two men. "Didn't the sect leader give an order that everyone stay in their own cave and not leave without permission?"

Oh no, the sound was still quite far away, how did he get into the yard!

Liu Feng smiled and said, "Reporting to the steward, Chen Lan just returned from the Nine Nether Springs. I was worried about her condition, so... I was wrong. I'll go back now."

"Wait a minute." The steward called out to him, then asked Chen Lan, "Is everything over on your end? Did the sect leader let you come back?"

"Yes, the sect leader has already investigated and has specially allowed us to return." Chen Lan said with a smile, "My martial uncle heard that I was detained there and was worried about me, so he came to ask me about it."

Since the sect leader has released the person, there should be no problem.

Well, they were sent on assignment anyway, and they'll be leaving in a few days. Besides, they already had the incident with the recording stone; if they cause any more trouble, they might incur the sect leader's wrath and displease him.

"Alright, hurry back. The deputy head of the garden will be here to investigate soon." The steward waved his hand. "Remember, this is a one-time thing. Don't run around like this again!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, deacon."

Liu Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute, then quickly returned to his room.

Chen Lan thanked him and was about to return to her room when she saw the steward wink at her.

Chen Lan looked at him, puzzled, not knowing what he meant.

"Hehe, is it your uncle... or your lover?" The steward's face gleamed with gossip.

Chen Lan was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and it took her a while to recover. "No, it's not..."

"Oh, I understand! What's the big deal about nephew and uncle? As long as they're not master and disciple, what's the big deal?" He waved his hand and said, "Alright, go back to your room. Remember to restrain yourself at crucial moments and don't break the rules, or no one can protect you."

Chen Lan: ...

She watched the butler leave speechlessly, then returned to her room and closed the door, before shaking her head with a wry smile.

What kind of senior and junior master relationship is this, what kind of lovers are these people thinking!
This butler usually seems quite serious, but I never expected him to have such thoughts on his mind.

Chen Lan didn't think about it anymore. She was also a little tired after a whole day of running around.

If she didn't have to be examined by the deputy head of the garden again later, she would definitely go lie down and get some sleep.

The market town outside Qingyue Gate, Queyin Street.

After meeting with the person and having eaten and drunk her fill, Zhao Ning parted ways and planned to return to her sect.

"Honestly, why did you have to come on the very day I went to cultivate at the Nine Nether Spring? I only got to stay for half a day and had to leave, wasting several hours for nothing!"

With that thought in mind, she glanced at the sky.

By this time, it was time for the Nine Nether Springs to be cleared out, so even if they went back, they wouldn't be able to cultivate anymore.

She sighed and turned into the main street, but suddenly everything went black, and she was shocked to see several extremely serious faces.

And these people were all garden masters in their respective sects!
