After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

"Oh?" Yun Qian became interested and asked, "What did you see?"

"These black and white chess pieces are all made of fine warm jade, and even the chessboard is made of top-grade yellow pear wood... The texture is subtle and the fragrance is unique. It's a truly fine chessboard." Ling Cang continued, "And on this chessboard, the black and white pieces are fighting each other. The black and white forces are evenly matched, neither losing and the other fighting evenly. The situation is undecided, but it can't be called a dead end either."

Yun Qian raised an eyebrow, "What is that?"

"Rather than calling it an endgame, it's more like a chess formation. It's just that this formation isn't complete yet. Some key pieces are missing, so it's hard to tell what it is."

Ling Cang was a little confused. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't figure out what kind of formation this was. Anything that could stump him was not simple.

"Little friendly eyes."

Yun Qian did not specify what kind of formation this was. He just praised it and smiled without saying anything. He lowered his head and a dark flash passed through his eyes at an angle where no one could see.

Yu Nian talked to Yun Qian for a few more words, explaining the cause of the accident. Time passed little by little and soon it was dusk.

"Mr. Yun, it's getting late, let's leave." Yu Nian stood up and bowed to Yun Qian.

"Then I won't give it away."

Yun Qian stood up with a smile, then picked up the spirit stone on the table and handed it to Yu Nian.

Yu Nian felt a little ashamed, "Master Yun, how can this be..."

Not only did she destroy the Yun family's property, she also made the Yun family pay so many spirit stones for those injured monks. It would be unreasonable not to compensate them. How could there be such an ungrateful person in the world?

"A gift from an elder cannot be declined. You'd better accept it." Yun Qian smiled kindly. "Does Young Master Yu want me to break my promise and embarrass my old face?"

Yu Nian silently accepted the spirit stone and cursed himself in his heart.

Although she wanted to act like a noble person, treating fame and fortune as nothing, and money as dirt, and just rudely refused to accept it...but the money still belonged to Ling Cang, and the debt crisis forced her to choose to be an ordinary person.

"Well, thank you, Senior Yun." When saying this, Yu Nian felt his face getting hot.

Then Yu Nian left the villa with Ling Cang, who was still pondering over what kind of formation the chess pieces formed.

At night, Yu Nian and his companion, who had nowhere to stay, planned to find another inn to stay in, but they did not expect the innkeeper to refuse them entry.

Looking at the three people entering the front hall, the innkeeper secretly took out a portrait. The person in the painting was dressed in white and had a cold look. It was the leader Yu Nian.

Seeing Yu Nian coming, the innkeeper's heart skipped a beat. He immediately hid the portrait and smiled playfully at Yu Nian and the other two. "My two guests, are you staying overnight or staying here?"

"Stay at the hotel."

The boss said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, gentlemen. All the rooms in our store have been rented out today. There are no vacancies."

Yu Nian left the inn without thinking too much.

Looking at Yu Nian's leaving back, the shopkeeper let out a deep breath, and his tense back relaxed a lot.

Finally sent this evil star away...

Next, Yu Nian looked for seven or eight inns, but without exception, all of them had no available rooms.

Yu Nian felt a little melancholy. "Today I just wanted to find a place to stay. I didn't even bother to pick one, but I didn't expect all the inns were full."

Looking at Yu Nian like this, Ling Cang suddenly felt a headache again.

When he arrived at the second inn, he realized that it was not that there were no rooms, but that the innkeeper was unwilling to rent a room to them.

It was probably because Yu Nian blew up the inn, thus becoming notorious in the inn industry on Huashen Island.

Yu Nian had visited so many inns, but he actually thought there were no vacant rooms?

"Master, let's go back to Yun Mansion." Ling Cang couldn't bear to see Yu Nian continue to look for an inn, so he couldn't help but speak.

Yu Nian, who was heading to the next inn, stopped and turned around, "That makes sense."

Although she didn't want to go back to Xiahou Mansion, for fear that Yun Zhan would find out something was wrong if she stayed with him for too long, it was almost dark, and if they continued looking, they might end up on the street today.

However, the next day, Yu Nian still moved out with the two of them.

Yun Zhan hugged Yun Yan and asked, "Miss Yu, don't you want to stay?"

"Yes, Sister Yu Nian, please stay. I still want to live with you."

Yu Nian said calmly, "Brother Yun, you saw it that day... For the safety of the Yun Mansion, it would be better for us to find another place."

Hearing this, Yun Zhan was speechless.

He also witnessed the tragedy in the inn with his own eyes. That night, when he and his wife were preparing to make love in bed, they took off their clothes. Then there was a loud noise in the sky outside the door. They had no choice but to put on their clothes and go out to check, and then they saw a bright light in the sky.

Afterwards, he learned the whole story and couldn't help but look at his friend with admiration.

"Okay, leave this matter to me!" Yun Zhan said generously, patting his chest and making a promise.

Immediately, Yun Zhan was severely slapped in the face. Even after running around all the inns and hostels on Huashen Island in his name, he couldn't find one that was willing to rent a room or yard to Yu Nian and the other two.

After going around in circles, they returned to the Yun Mansion.

"Miss Yu, the Flower Goddess Festival will be held in three days. There are more and more people on the island, and it is inevitable that the inn is full." Yun Zhan explained with a bitter face.

"Husband, isn't there an empty courtyard in the back hills?" Lin Xiner approached slowly. "That courtyard is very quiet and secluded. I think it would suit Miss Yu's taste. It would also be convenient for Master Ling to come and go. However, no one lives there all year round..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can find a place to stay!" Yu Nian agreed immediately.

"Then Miss Yu, please sit down for a moment. I'll send someone to clean up."

Lin Xiner was also an efficient person. After just a quarter of an hour, she came to tell Yu Nian that the cleaning had been completed, and she personally took the two of them there.

Pushing open the creaking dark red, shabby wooden door, what comes into view is a spacious and tidy courtyard.

"The yard is simple, I hope Miss Yu doesn't mind."

Yu Nian hurriedly returned the greeting, "I don't mind, and I have to thank Madam Lin."

"As long as Miss Yu is satisfied, I'm glad. Unless there are any special arrangements, we will send someone to deliver three meals a day on time." Lin Xiner smiled. "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Mrs. Lin, take care."

After saying goodbye to Lin Xiner, Yu Nian started his own experiment again.

The experiment of compressing spiritual power was almost complete. This time she stopped inputting spiritual power into it and tried to engrave a talisman.

She had thought that since talismans could be drawn on paper, could they also be engraved on magical instruments like patterns on instruments, giving the instruments more diverse functions?

As Yu Nian sat under a large tree in the yard, pondering carefully, Ling Cang glanced over and tutted in disdain, "Soul-locking Talisman, Soul-attracting Talisman... Where did Master pick up these things? They're pure garbage."

“…I carved it myself.”

Ling Cang was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have insulted trash."

Yu Nian: “…”

"Master, your idea of ​​engraving talismans is very clever, but Master, don't you know that many talismans are in conflict with each other?" Ling Cang said with disdain.

Yu Nian suddenly realized something and immediately returned to his room to look through the talisman book, searching for a suitable talisman.
