Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng was almost certain that Yue Yinling had led him to Jiuhua Mountain to deal with the disappearance of his fat master.

Moreover, Ye Feng felt that Yue Yinling probably knew about the sect leader's dirty secrets, otherwise Yue Yinling wouldn't have lured him to Jiuhua Mountain alone; the shadows of the Yunhai Sect would have already massacred Jiuhua Mountain.

She brought me here because she didn't want outsiders to know about this.

Therefore, Ye Feng revealed the names of Shan Qingtong and the others.

Judging from Yue Yinling's reaction, Ye Feng felt that his guess was correct.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As expected of the Xuan Ying cultivator in the shadows, he was indeed the sect leader's most trusted person, even knowing the sect leader's shady dealings.

However, Ye Feng didn't care how many women the sect leader had slept with or how many illegitimate children he had; he only cared about his fat senior uncle.

Yue Yinling gradually regained her calm expression.

She said, "Since Ling Yunzhi has already investigated this matter quite thoroughly, I won't waste my breath explaining why my Uncle Fatty came to Jiuhua Mountain."

That's right. Not long after my chubby martial uncle came to Jiuhua Mountain a while ago, he fell into Shen Feiyang's trap.

"Huh? How is my master? Is he still alive?"

"Of course he's alive. If Uncle Fatty were dead, I wouldn't have let you come here. He's currently imprisoned in a stone cave at You Shi Temple on Mount Jiuhua."

Shen Feiyang did not harbor any deep hatred for his fat uncle, and he would not kill him unless absolutely necessary.

According to my information, although my esteemed Uncle Fatty is serving time in a labor camp, he's living a very comfortable life, indulging in lavish meals every day and even having beautiful women to serve him in bed.

"What? This...this is outrageous!"

Ye Feng had always believed that his fat master was not dead, but merely imprisoned by Shen Feiyang. Now that Yue Yinling had confirmed this, Ye Feng was not surprised.

What really surprised him was that even though his fat master was in jail, he was living a better life than when he was outside.

Shen Feiyang is incredibly generous; he even arranged for a beautiful woman to serve his fat master in bed.

If this is how you get treated in prison, then Ye Feng wants to take Master Pang's place!

Yue Yinling said, "What's so outrageous about this? Do you know who the woman has been serving Uncle Fatty in bed all this time?"

"Who? It can't be Shen Fuyao, can it?!"

"What are you thinking? Even if Shen Fuyao wanted to serve Uncle Pang, Uncle Pang wouldn't dare to touch a hair on Shen Fuyao's head. Let me tell you, the person who will serve Uncle Pang is Ruyan."

"Ruyan? That name sounds familiar... Hmm... Could it be Ruyan from the brothel in the capital?!"

Ye Feng's eyes widened slightly.

Yue Yinling nodded slowly and said, "That's right, it's the once famous courtesan of the capital, and the birth mother of Junior Sister Ling'er, Ruyan."

"Huh? She really didn't die?"

Yue Yinling was very familiar with everything about Jiuhua Mountain.

Very few people know that Yulong Fatty was imprisoned in Shiyou Temple.

Even fewer people know that Miss Ruyan spends all her time sleeping with Fatty Yulong.

However, less than half a month has passed since Yue Yinling returned to Yunhai Sect after dealing with the Lingnan Spirit Mine and learned that Fatty Yulong had disappeared.

However, she had already obtained detailed information about Fatty Yulong.

This is definitely not something that can be found by shadows.

The only possibility is that there is a shadow in Shiyou Temple or Sihai Villa.

And it wasn't just an ordinary shadow.

Futu was unaware of Yulong Pangzi's current situation, while Yue Yinling knew it all.

This suggests that the person hiding within the enemy ranks is very likely a Xuan Ying Zhe, just like Yue Yinling.

Ye Feng was slightly startled at this moment.

He once discovered a secret letter left by Ruyan in the guqin (a seven-stringed zither) in Ruyan's former residence.

The letter stated that the other party had been instructing Ruyan to fake her death and escape from the capital city, thus avoiding the eyes of Su Xiaoli and the others.

However, Ruyan died more than three years ago because she was infected with syphilis.

To this day, Ye Feng still cannot determine whether Ru Yan's death was real or a fake one.

It's now confirmed that Ruyan is still alive. She must have faked her death more than three years ago when Su Xiaoli happened to be away from Wanhua Tower.

Ye Feng couldn't help but recall the contents of Ru Yan's secret letters.

Ruyan kept delaying.

The reason he chose to fake his death more than three years ago was probably to wait for his fat master.

She had to tell her master the whereabouts of her and her master's daughter before she could leave the capital in peace.

At this moment, Ye Feng felt a mix of emotions.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

Ruyan didn't die, and Ling'er has a mother now. As Ling'er's senior brother, Ye Feng should be happy for his junior sister Ling'er.

However, Ruyan's identity is so special.

Although Ruyan has reformed, she was, after all, a famous courtesan in the capital who had won the title of "Queen of Courtesans" for many consecutive years.

It's true that her first man was her fat master.

However, in the more than ten years after Master Pang left, Ruyan received one or two customers almost every night, and the number of customers she received in a year was definitely no less than three hundred.

Righteous cultivators value their reputation highly, especially their family background.

Huang Ling'er is the daughter of Master Yulong, and she still often suffers ridicule from her fellow disciples in the Yunhai Sect.

As a result, Ye Feng fought with Yunhai Sect disciples quite a few times when he was at Xingluo Peak because of this matter.

Now that Ruyan is alive and has rekindled her romance with Master Pang, given Master Pang's personality, he will most likely allow Ruyan to reunite with Ling'er and her mother.

This is not a good thing for Ling'er's future.

So Ye Feng is currently very conflicted and frustrated, pondering whether there is a way to achieve the best of both worlds: to allow Ling'er to reunite with her birth mother while minimizing the impact of this matter on Ling'er.

"Hey, Ye Daba, what are you daydreaming about?"

Seeing that Ye Feng remained silent for a long time, lost in thought, Yue Yinling immediately reached out and nudged him.

Ye Feng snapped out of his reverie and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about how to handle Ling'er and Ruyan's situation."

Yue Yinling's expression suddenly became somewhat strange. She said, "That is indeed a problem. Although Ruyan is Ling'er's birth mother, her identity is not honorable. Our Yunhai Sect is a righteous and prestigious sect. Once Ling'er recognizes Ruyan, she will be pointed at and gossiped about for the rest of her life."

Of course, even if they don't acknowledge each other, her background will be the subject of ridicule among the Yunhai Sect disciples for many years to come.

Ye Feng said, "Then what should we do? Pretend we don't know anything about this? Keep it a secret from Ling'er for the rest of our lives?"

Yue Yinling shook her head and said, "Even if we can hide it, would Uncle Fatty hide it? Xiao Feng, I have a way."

"What's the plan? Tell me quickly."

Yue Yinling's eyes flashed, revealing a fierce look.

She raised her palm and gently made a downward chopping motion.

Ye Feng was taken aback, then mimicked Yue Yinling's gesture and asked, "Sister Yinling, what do you mean by this?"

Yue Yinling said, "A petty person is no gentleman, and a ruthless person is no true man. In Ling'er's opinion, her birth mother died more than three years ago, so let's just make her a dead person. Only by killing Ruyan quietly can we minimize the impact of this matter on Ling'er."
