Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The Buddha said: You cannot change the karma of others, otherwise you will bear the karma of others.

On the isolated cliff of Beimeng Mountain, Shen Yichen and his two companions encountered the old man in the blood-red robe again.

The old man in the blood-red robe had also come to investigate the dead, but he saw a person lying on the lonely cliff. That person was the leader of this group of masked men.

The four met and were slightly taken aback. The old man in the blood-red robe had not expected Shen Yichen and his two companions to come here.

"Young Master Shen, your chivalrous spirit is maturing!"

Shen Yichen looked at the dead body on the lonely cliff and exclaimed in shock:

"He was one of the last three to attack me!"

Ning Menghuan muttered to herself:

"They really silenced them!"

Ning Menghuan shifted her gaze to Yi Xuan.

Yi Xuan frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"Senior, what are you doing here?"

The old man in the blood-red robe responded softly:

"There are top experts among this group, hiding in plain sight. I originally wanted to see if there were any clues!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were shocked upon hearing this. They exchanged a glance and realized at the same time that Ji Xuanren might be in danger.

Yi Xuan's Heavenly Aura has yet to detect Ji Xuanren's presence!

"Senior, where are the others?"

"How would I know? They all died last night, a long time ago!"

"Senior, say goodbye!"

Shen Yichen then pulled Yixuan and Ning Menghuan away.

After being away for a long time.

"Yi Xuan, can you find out where Ji Xuanren is?"

"I don't know. Let's go to Luowu Ancient City first. Those people will probably try to ambush and kill that person there!"

"Can you let go of my hand? I can be killed by your people, but I can't sleep with you!"

Shen Yichen hurriedly let go of Ning Menghuan's hand, feeling both embarrassed and shy!

"Tsk tsk, Sister Huan, you can't even refuse to sleep with us now? Didn't you see? One of them has already been silenced. If you want to live, you have to let Ji Xuanren know that you're one of our young master's people!"

"You brat, I give up. You two can flirt all you want, I won't say a word, is that alright?"

"Haha, Sister Huan, don't always judge others by your own standards. You're old, that's just how it is. Even if you still have your charm, it doesn't change the fact that you're old!"

"Sigh, do young people no longer distinguish between men and women when it comes to love? I'm definitely getting old!"

"Both of you shut up!"

Shen Yichen roared and leaped forward, cursing the nonsense those two were spouting!

"Young Master, I'm only thinking of Huan-jie. The people of Zhidian Hall are very rigid. Huan-jie could really be in mortal danger!"

"Brother Chen, what I said is the truth. You two should just walk together, and I definitely won't treat you differently!"

Shen Yichen covered his ears and moved forward quickly, looking around as he did so. He felt that Ji Xuanren might really be in trouble.

Ning Menghuan might be joking, but Yi Xuan was telling the truth. In order to cover up Shen Yichen's knowledge of the Gu poison technique, Ji Xuanren would really kill Ning Menghuan!

The loyalty of the Ji family members was beyond Shen Yichen and Ning Menghuan's imagination and comprehension, let alone that of the former head of the Zhidian Hall. Loyalty was part of the Ji family's rules!

Yi Xuan watched the two figures walk away and shook his head. Apart from sleeping with Ning Menghuan, Yi Xuan really couldn't think of any other way to save her life!

But once Shen Yichen sleeps with Ning Menghuan, Yixuan will not hesitate to take Ning Menghuan's life.

"Sister Huan, meeting him really was your downfall, you can't blame anyone else!"

Shen Yichen and his two companions had not gone far when they saw the corpses of those people from the Shadow Hall from the previous night. All three were shocked; it was obvious that Ji Xuanren was responsible.

"Yi Xuan, investigate Ji Xuanren, something's happened!"

Yi Xuan also realized that something was wrong, and he quickly used Tianxianglong to lock onto Ji Xuanren's aura.

"follow me!"

Shen Yichen followed Yixuan over a mountain and saw Ji Xuanren by a deep pool.

To Shen Yichen's surprise, Ji Xuanren was actually a woman!

Covered in blood and pale-faced, Ji Xuanren must have just climbed out of the water.

Shen Yichen picked up Ji Xuanren and frantically channeled the true essence of the Holy Emperor Technique into her body.

After a long while, Ji Xuanren slowly opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen let out a long sigh of relief, helped Ji Xuanren up, and let her heal her injuries on her own.

Shen Yichen frowned slightly as he looked at Ji Xuanren, who was enveloped in a dark yellow light.

"Yi Xuan, you knew all along that she was a woman, didn't you?"

"Young Master, Young Master Shen, when did I say she was a man? You made a mistake yourself, is that my fault?"

"You two still have the nerve to argue? This guy killed so many people and yet he got injured. Don't you two have any sense of danger?"

Yi Xuan smiled slightly.

"Sister Huan, if I were you, I would kill her right now, or she really will kill you!"

Not only was Shen Yichen confused about what Yixuan was up to, but Ning Menghuan was also dumbfounded.

Is this a member of the Ji family, or a member of the Ji family loyal to the young master? What tricks is Yixuan up to?

"Brother Chen, what exactly is going on between you two? What is he up to?"

Shen Yichen looked at Yixuan quietly for a long time, then asked in a deep voice:

"Yi Xuan, will Ji Xuanren really kill Huan Jie to silence her?"

"Pfft, you think I'm joking?"

"You wouldn't be thinking of using Huan-jie to kill her, would you?"

"Sigh, it's hard to be a good person. You two do as you please!"

After Yixuan finished speaking, he turned around and went to the pool to wash his face.

Shen Yichen frowned in thought; he really knew too little about the Ji family.

Ning Menghuan looked at Yi Xuan and felt something was off. The way Yi Xuan washed his face looked like a woman, but he was a man!

Ning Menghuan wasn't worried about being silenced. She had been wandering the martial world for so many years, and countless people had tried to kill her, but she was still alive and well.

Ning Menghuan dares to travel the world alone, so she must have her own trump cards.

When Ji Xuanren opened her eyes again, it was almost noon. She slowly rose, bowed deeply to Shen Yichen, and used her finger to control her qi to write:

"I have caused you worry, young master. I am guilty!"

Shen Yichen hurriedly dodged, he really didn't dare to accept this courtesy.

Ning Menghuan was truly shocked. The words written on the ground were "acknowledging guilt," not "acknowledging wrongdoing." She glanced at Shen Yichen, then at Ji Xuanren, who was covered in blood. Ning Menghuan really couldn't understand it.

Yi Xuan looked at Shen Yichen with a smile.

"Young Master, aren't you curious why she's so devoted to you? I don't quite understand it myself!"

Shen Yichen was very curious, extremely curious!

Shen Yichen looked at Ji Xuanren, his meaning clear: he wanted to know the answer.

But Ji Xuanren shook his head and wrote three words:

"Speak separately!"

Yi Xuan burst out laughing!

"Tch, trying to keep an eye on me? Is it even useful? As if I want to know. Sister Huan, let's go, they're still holding a grudge!"

After Yixuan finished speaking, he really got up to leave.

"Alright, Yixuan, stop pretending, I'm not asking that question anymore!"

Shen Yichen asked directly:

What happened to your injury?

Ji Xuanren wrote on the ground:

"Those people weren't from the Shadow Hall. One of them was a master. We exchanged hundreds of blows, but in the end, I was no match for him and had to escape!"

Shen Yichen and Ning Menghuan exchanged a glance. They had sensed something was wrong last night. It was not only audacious of them to impersonate someone from the Shadow Hall in Yanquan, but also incredibly strange!

Do you know the person you fought?

Ji Xuanren shook her head, put on her veil, and her tightly closed eyes made it impossible to tell that she was a woman.

"This...that's it? She failed in her duties, young master, aren't you going to punish her?"

Yi Xuan really doesn't shy away from making things worse. He looked at Shen Yichen, who was deep in thought, and Shen Yichen didn't show the slightest displeasure. How could this be allowed? The young master of the Ji family must have authority!

Shen Yichen, of course, did not react, but Ji Xuanren actually knelt on one knee and wrote:

"Your subordinate knows his crime and begs for punishment, young master!"

Ning Menghuan and Shen Yichen were both shocked!

Shen Yichen turned to look at Yixuan and asked coldly:

"Yi Xuan, is this the rule of the Ji family?"

"Young Master, you are mistaken. This is the loyalty that the Ji family should have!"
