Chu Jing and Xuanyuan Yuli stayed with Lin Ling during the days when she was in a bad mood. She felt much better and gradually got over Xiao Jinghe's deception.

At this time, Elder Qinglang also came to Tianyan Sect.

He came very quickly.

When Elder Qinglang first received the news, he did not believe it.

What reason did Xiao Jinghe have to go to Tianyan Sect’s treasure house to steal things?

If he wants something good, can't I find a way to get it for him myself? Is there any need to steal it from other people's warehouses?

When Elder Qinglang met Xiao Jinghe and saw his attitude, his heart sank.

The headmaster observed Qing Lang's reaction before saying, "Xiao Jinghe said he didn't steal anything from the Treasure Pavilion, but... Elder Qing Lang, please take a look at this!"

As he spoke, an image appeared in the air. It was the scene when Xiao Jinghe transformed into Lin Ling and entered the thirteenth floor.

Everyone saw that the key in Xiao Jinghe's hand looked exactly the same as the original key, except that the original key was made of rare treasures, while the one in Xiao Jinghe's hand exuded an evil aura.

It doesn't look like the magical shape-changing magic weapon he said.

This is a key that was deliberately forged using evil magic.

It's true that it's a one-time thing.

It is made of ordinary materials and cannot withstand the huge power of the formation. It can only be used once before it will be defeated.

After Xiao Jinghe went upstairs, he was obviously looking for something with a purpose.

After finding it, they took out the magic weapon and put it into a specially made treasure box that could lock its aura, and then put a replica in it as a disguise.

At this point, the series of actions were completed. Xiao Jinghe was about to leave when the head and Xun Zhaoxue arrived.

Xiao Jinghe didn't even resist and surrendered directly. He knew that he was no match for them.

He probably thought his plan was flawless and he would not be punished at all.

After witnessing the entire process of committing the crime with his own eyes, Xiao Jinghe was now completely unable to make excuses.

He had never been afraid or panicked during these days of being imprisoned, but now he immediately turned his gaze to Elder Qinglang.

Elder Qinglang stared at the image in the void for a long time. When he saw the magic weapon stolen by Xiao Jinghe, the expression on his face could only be described as shock.

He said nothing, obviously having accepted that his disciple and son had stolen a magic weapon from the Tianyan Sect to condense residual souls and nourish the soul. Legend has it that this magic weapon can bring the dead back to life.

The Sect Master paid close attention to Qing Lang's every subtle reaction and reminded him at the right moment, "The Xuanjian Sect and the Tianyan Sect have been friends for generations, but this matter is of grave importance. Not only will I require Xiao Jinghe to hand over the stolen magic weapon, but I will also require him to receive ninety-nine lashes, and...

"He needs to explain who ordered him to do so and how he forged the key to our Tianyan Sect's treasure house!"

Who would have thought that a mere disciple would dare to come to the Tianyan Sect's treasure house to steal things!

Xiao Jinghe is not important. What is important is the people who made all this happen behind the scenes, gave him advice and provided him with help!

These days, he kept Xiao Jinghe in jail and left him alone, naturally going to deal with more important matters.

In order for him to successfully obtain a copy of the key, there were also major problems within the Tianyan Sect.

As for why Xiao Jinghe did this, perhaps the answer can be found from Elder Qinglang's reaction.

I'm afraid it has something to do with Xiao Jinghe's biological mother.

Who is Xiao Jinghe's biological mother... After so many days, he still couldn't find any definite information.

Elder Qinglang knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion. He immediately put aside his attitude and said sincerely:

"I am deeply ashamed of the grave mistakes my traitor has made in Tianyan Sect. It is my fault that I failed to teach my disciple well. To express my apology, I am willing to compensate Tianyan Sect for all its losses and prepare an apology gift as compensation."

"As for Lin Ling, Jing He has wronged her. The engagement will naturally be cancelled, and we will also give her appropriate compensation..."

"Of course I should explain what I should explain, but can I...?" Even a Jindan stage cultivator would not be able to withstand ninety-nine lashes, let alone him who was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This punishment was obviously established to take into account Xiao Jinghe's ability to bear it, and the purpose was to punish him severely!

But Qing Lang naturally couldn't bear to see Xiao Jinghe suffer such severe punishment, so he could only pay more money to reduce his sentence.

After discussions between the two sides, they finally reached a friendly agreement: the ninety-nine lashes were reduced to thirty-three, with other conditions remaining unchanged. In addition, Elder Qinglang paid a huge amount of compensation.

Lin Ling's compensation was given to her without a penny less.

Just as she had barely recovered from being deceived by her lover, she was hit by an enormous fortune.

This is simply too much for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and she cannot use many of these things yet!

Xuanyuan Yuli exclaimed, "Suddenly I want to be fooled once too."

After being tortured, the half-dead Xiao Jinghe was taken away by Qing Lang.

Not long after, an elder of Tianyan Sect suddenly passed away, and several disciples were also eliminated at the same time.

It is said that this matter seems to be related to the demon clan.

From then on, this matter came to an end in Tianyan Sect.

No one expected that Xiao Jinghe would disappear three months later.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Xuanyuan Yuli to leave Tianyan Sect, and the Li Dynasty sent a general to pick up Xuanyuan Yuli.

Chu Jing, Lin Ling and Xuanyuan Yuli were reluctant to leave. Chu Jing and Lin Ling went to see Xuanyuan Yuli off. Originally they said they would only accompany her for a short distance, but somehow they ended up accompanying her almost halfway.

Xuanyuan Yuli even hid at night and secretly wiped away her tears, "Alright, alright, don't send me off! It's not like we won't see each other again!"

"If you miss me in the future, just come and see me!"

The heroic general stood beside Xuanyuan Yuli, waiting for orders. She was tall, with heroic features, and always gave people a sharp feeling when she smiled.

Seeing this, she also enthusiastically invited on behalf of Li Chao, "Li Chao always welcomes the little princess's friends to come and play!"

"If you two don't mind, I'd like to be your guide and take you to experience the local customs and culture of the Le Dynasty."

"But after sending you a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye. Please stop here!"

At this point, Xuanyuan Yuli completely parted ways with Chu Jing and Lin Ling, and the three of them agreed on a day to meet again.

After sending Xuanyuan Yuli off, Lin Ling returned to the sect like a different person, focusing solely on cultivation.

He stopped being sneaky and played around with his fellow disciples all day.

Whenever Chu Jing asked, Lin Ling would always smile and say nonchalantly, "I'm pretty good too! It was Xiaoli who delayed my training before! Now that she's gone, I can naturally train properly!"

"Just wait, when we meet again next time, I will have reached a level of cultivation that she will never be able to match!"

The betrayal of the person she loved and the separation from her best friend eventually left an indelible mark on the heart of this teenage girl.

It is said that growth comes with pain, but growth also comes to welcome a better tomorrow!

Since they separated, they have been looking forward to the day when they meet again, but they didn't expect that this reunion would come not too late.

Just one year later, Chu Jing and Lin Ling received an invitation to Xuanyuan Yuli's wedding...
