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

Yu Nian was somewhat surprised and looked at Ling Qing and asked, "Master Ling, why did the play stop here and not continue?"

"Life is like a play, and play is like life~"

Ling Qing fanned himself with a small fan and said slowly, "Some things are not beautiful if they are completed. It is better to end them abruptly at the right time. Therefore, the screenwriter only wrote the script here based on the story of the Return of the Soul... Master Yu Nian, please take a look."

Ling Qing pointed toward the stage below through the window to Yu Nian.

I saw a group of aunts with red eyes, sighing and wiping tears.

At this time, a waiter walked past these aunts carrying a tray. These aunts generously threw gold and silver coins into the tray, and soon the tray was full.

Yu Nian: “…”

It turns out to be a commercial need, but then again, such a suspenseful ending can also give the audience who have been tortured a glimmer of hope.

If the sequel to the story of "Return of the Soul" was really performed to the end, the audience would definitely have cursed and cursed. What the hell is this? The heroine and the supporting actor are both dead, and the hero lives out his life alone, and this is what they are shown?

After all, most people still like to see a happy ending. With such a tragic performance, there will be no bounty. It's good enough if it doesn't ruin the show.

Just as Yu Nian was thinking about the business tactics, Ling Qing, who was sitting next to her, spoke. His expression was a little complicated. He looked at Yu Nian and asked her a very strange question.

"Master Yu Nian, do you know what the biggest difference between gods and demons is?"

Yu Nian looked at Ling Qing with a bewildered expression, while Ling Cang seemed to be lost in thought.

Yu Nian thought carefully and she felt that the difference between gods and demons should be clearly expressed in this play.

However, she only understood that vague feeling but could not express it in accurate words.

Ling Qing pretended to be mysterious and smiled without saying anything. He poured himself a glass of wine and continued to drink, waiting for the next play to begin.

While Yu Nian was pondering, the next play had already begun.

This time, the play on stage is The Injustice of Dou E, and the performers are other actors. Guyu will not appear on stage again for ten days after finishing the play.

Yu Nian listened to the familiar opera lines, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The previous drama was about the love-hate relationship between gods and demons, and the next drama has the same tone. It's like watching a Qiong Yao romance drama and then immediately watching a tragic human drama. The contrast is too big.

However, in order not to be rude, Yu Nian and Ling Cang still patiently accompanied Ling Qing to continue watching.

In the backstage, Gu Qing was taking care of Gu Yu who had been vomiting blood with a worried look on her face. She touched Gu Yu's face which was abnormally flushed due to the fever after she removed her makeup, took out a pill from the storage ring, and gave it to Gu Yu who was unconscious due to the fever.

It turns out that the blood that Guyu, who played Zi Han, spat out at the end of the performance on stage was not a prop but real blood.

Gu Qing was worried and angry, and accidentally severely injured the actor who played Yuntian, and hurriedly took Guyu off the stage.

Ling Cang, who was in the private room at the front desk, was wondering whether he should go to see his former subordinates before leaving. At this time, Gu Qing had already picked up his brother and hurriedly left the Pear Garden through the back door to go to the Medical Valley to find his master, the strange doctor.

After Dou E's Injustice ended, Ling Cang couldn't help but ask the waiter where the actor who played the Demon Lord was.

The waiter replied, "Sir, you are looking for my Master Gu. He and the boss have been gone for over an hour."

Ling Cang frowned slightly, "Do you know where they went?"

"I don't know." The waiter shook his head. "My Second Master Gu is a cultivator, just like you, sir. His whereabouts are unpredictable, and we servants don't know."

Ling Cang had no choice but to leave. Just as the three of them walked out of the Pear Garden, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

No way… I just finished listening to Dou E’s Injustice, in which the line goes: “Blood splatters on white silk, snow falls in June, and there has been a three-year drought.”

Is it snowing so heavily now?

You know, it’s only July now. Although it’s not as hot as June, it’s still the hottest part of summer!

Could it be that a huge injustice has really occurred somewhere?

Yu Nian's three views were challenged once again, but she thought that this was in the world of cultivation after all, and it was normal for unscientific phenomena to exist, so she could accept it.

"The ice tide has arrived."

Ling Xing looked at the snow in the sky, stretched out his hand to catch a crystal white snowflake, and the snowflake quickly melted away in his palm.

"Ice tide?" Yu Nian looked at Ling Qing with a puzzled look.

Ling Qing explained slowly, "Every ten years in Junhong City, in mid-to-late July, when the weather should be hot, there's a month-long ice tide that brings snow... This ice tide is even colder than winter. The four major rivers freeze over, ships stop sailing, and people and animals stay indoors."

At this moment, the Ling Mansion's coachman shrank his neck, trembling, and came forward and said, "Master, the snow is getting heavier and colder outside. Let's go back first."

Upon hearing this, the three of them got on the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage towards Ling Mansion.

After a night of heavy snow, Junhong City stepped from the scorching summer into the bitter winter. The entire city was covered in silver, and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually decreased.

Yu Nian and Ling Cang, two cultivators with ice spiritual roots, felt so comfortable staying in this world of ice and snow that even the speed of their cultivation increased a lot.

It’s hard for Yun Yan and the others.

The heavy snow was still falling. Qionghua sensed the environment outside and was so anxious to get out that she almost pecked through the spirit beast's bag.

Yu Nian simply let it out, intending to let it roll around in the snow and help the servants of the Ling Mansion clear the snow from the roof.

However, as soon as Yu Nian released this guy, he disappeared without a trace.

Yu Nian and Ling Cang went out and searched for a long time before they found Qionghua who was breaking ice and eating fish by the lake.

Just when Yu Nian was thinking that they had been in Junhong City for almost a month and Yun Yan and the others could not stand the severe cold and could ask Ling Cang whether they wanted to go back, something happened in Junhong City.

"Lord City Lord, please sit down and talk."

Ling Qing, wearing a thick mink robe, sat in the main seat in the hall, warming himself by the fire. He smiled at the bruised Shen Yue and pointed to a chair beside him.

Shen Yue flicked the snow off his shoulders with his hands, then sat down. He looked at Ling Qing with a bitter face, but didn't say anything, just sighed continuously.

Shen Yue thought that if he sighed like this, the old man Ling Qing would ask him something.

Unexpectedly, this old man was so cunning and patient. He insisted on sitting in his seat and drinking tea for nearly half an hour, and he changed three or four pots of tea.

I'll stuff you to death!

Shen Yue cursed in his heart, very annoyed by Ling Qing's cunning.

Coincidentally, Ling Qing was also waiting for Shen Yue to speak first. He sipped his tea leisurely, with a meaningful smile on his face.

He needs help from others, but he still puts on airs and waits for him to speak first. Haha, this old guy's usual method... This old guy must have encountered trouble that he can't solve again, so he has to ask others for help.

Shen Yue's cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage. Among the Ling family's servants, the highest cultivation level is the late Nascent Soul stage. The Ling family can't solve anything that Shen Yue can't solve, unless it is a financial difficulty.

But recently he hadn't heard that the City Lord's Mansion was short of money or in a financial crisis. There were no major projects to be built in the entire Junhong City even after it entered the ice tide.

Therefore, Shen Yue’s visit was definitely not due to money... There is only one person who can make Shen Yue come to his house in person.

Shen Yue came to find Yu Nian.

Finally, Shen Yue realized that Ling Qing had him in his sights today, so he reluctantly asked, "Master Ling, is True Lord Yu Nian here?"

"Oh, he's not here." Ling Qing said slowly.

Shen Yue stood up quickly, anger rising in his heart, but he suppressed it and bowed to Ling Qing. "Then may I ask where Master Yu Nian has been and what he has done? I really have something urgent to ask Master Yu Nian, so please let Patriarch Ling know."

It was inconvenient for Bingchao to go out, and besides, how could it be such a coincidence that she was not there when he came to look for her?

It must be the old fox Ling Xing, who is using the intimidating power of the tiger, Yu Nian Zhenjun, to make things difficult for him, and is preparing to raise the price and make conditions.

But Ling Qing didn't lie to Shen Yue this time. Yu Nian was indeed not there. She and Ling Cang were on the ice, tying up Qionghua, who refused to return, and dragging her to the Ling Mansion...
