The next morning, everyone bid farewell to Yunyin Villa and left this place full of memories.

Li Xiangyi, Qiao Wanwan and Fang Duobing returned to Baichuan Courtyard together, while Di Feisheng and Jiao Liqiao returned to the Golden Yuan League.

In Baichuan Courtyard, sunlight shines through the window lattice onto Shi Shui's delicate face. She holds a letter in her hand, which is a handwritten letter from Qiao Wanwan.

The letter said that Li Xiangyi and she would return to Baichuanyuan soon to meet them. Shi Shui's face was filled with irrepressible joy. She walked quickly towards the residence of Ji Hanfo, Yun Biqiu, and Bai Jiangqun, her steps as light as a cheerful bird.

"Brother Ji! Senior Brother Yun! Brother Bai!" Shi Shui's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of urgency. "Guess whose letter I received?"

Ji Hanfu was flipping through the files. He looked up when he heard this, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Whose letter makes you so happy?"

Yun Biqiu and Bai Jiangqun also stopped what they were doing and looked at Shi Shui.

"It's Sister Qiao!" Shi Shui waved the letter in his hand, "She said that she and the sect leader are back!"

Ji Hanfo and Bai Jiangqun were stunned when they heard this, and stood there in a daze as if they were struck by lightning.

Ji Hanfu stood up suddenly, walked a few steps to Shi Shui, and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say? Say it again! Sect Master? Is he still alive?"

Bai Jiangqun also came forward excitedly, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Shi Shui, are you sure you're right? Is it really the Sect Master? Is he really coming back?"

Shi Shui nodded vigorously, tears of excitement flashing in his eyes: "It's absolutely true! That's what it says in the letter, written by Sister Qiao herself!"

Ji Hanfu snatched the letter and read it carefully. Every word hit his heart like a hammer. He read it over and over again, and finally he was convinced that this was not a dream. The Sect Master was really still alive and he was really coming back!

"Hahahaha!" Ji Hanfo suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with joy and excitement, "Great! Great! The Sect Master is still alive! He's still alive!"

Bai Jiangquan was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to hold on to this joy.

Ji Hanfo suddenly looked at Shi Shui, his eyes tinged with reproach. "Shi Shui, did you know this a long time ago? They're still alive, why didn't you tell us?" He turned to Yun Biqiu, his eyes tinged with inquiry. "Yun Biqiu, you know this too, right? Tell me, what's going on? Why did you hide it from me and Bai Jiangqun?"

Shi Shui lowered his head a little aggrieved and explained softly, "Brother Ji, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It was Sister Qiao who said they had important things to do and couldn't reveal their whereabouts. As for how Senior Brother Yun knew about it, I don't know."

Everyone's eyes turned to Yun Biqiu, waiting for his explanation.

Facing everyone's gaze, Yun Biqiu said calmly, "I do know something, but not much. After the Sword Appreciation Conference, Sister Qiao came to see me and said they were investigating the truth behind the East China Sea War. Later, they discovered I was poisoned by the Blood Ronghua poison, and the Sect Master appeared and used Yangzhou Man to detoxify me."

Bai Jiangquan suddenly understood. He looked at Yun Biqiu with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "So, the Sect Master has forgiven you?"

Yun Biqiu nodded slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "I guess so."

Ji Hanfu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile returning to his face. "No matter what, the Sect Master is still alive. This is great news! We, the Si Gu Sect, can finally be reunited!"

"Yes, the leader is still alive, so there is hope for our Sigu Sect!" Bai Jiangqun also echoed, his eyes full of anticipation.

"We have to tell this good news to others as soon as possible!" Ji Hanfu said, turning around and about to walk out.

"Wait, Brother Ji!" Shi Shui stopped him, "Sister Qiao also said in the letter that they have an important matter to arrange when they return this time."

"What's the matter?" Ji Hanfu stopped and asked.

"Clear out the All Saints Road." Shi Shui said word by word.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hanfu's eyes shone. "Wansheng Dao? It seems that the Sect Master has been tracking them all these years. Could it be that Wansheng Dao was the mastermind behind the East China Sea War?"

"They have committed so many evil things, it's time to wipe them out completely!" Bai Jiangqun said angrily.

"Well, we need to plan this matter carefully." Ji Hanfu pondered for a moment and said, "We will discuss it in detail when the Sect Master comes back."

"Okay, we'll listen to you, Brother Ji." Bai Jiangqun and Shi Shui said in unison.

Yun Biqiu stood aside, watching them quietly, with a barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Yun, what's wrong with you?" Shi Shui noticed that Yun Biqiu was acting strangely and asked with concern.

"Nothing, just a little worried." Yun Biqiu said softly, "The Wansheng Dao is a huge force. It may not be easy to completely wipe it out."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Yun, with the Sect Master here, we will definitely succeed!" Shi Shui comforted.

"Yes, Yun Biqiu, don't think too much." Ji Hanfu also said, "You are not unaware of the sect master's abilities."

Yun Biqiu nodded and said nothing more.

Yun Biqiu's concerns were not unfounded. The Wansheng Dao had been entrenched for many years, its power structure was complex, and countless conflicts of interest were involved. How easy would it be to completely eradicate this cancer?

What's more, the truth behind the East China Sea War is still unclear. Although Li Xiangyi has been investigating it for many years, he still doesn't know how the investigation is going.

"Senior Brother Yun, do you have anything else to say?" Shi Shui couldn't help but ask when he saw Yun Biqiu hesitated to speak.

Yun Biqiu hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "I just think we should be more cautious. The Wansheng Dao is not like any other martial arts sect. Their methods are extremely cruel, and..."

He paused, as if weighing his words, "Also, I always feel that there seems to be a larger force behind the Wansheng Dao."

Ji Hanfu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying that Wansheng Dao is just a cover, and the real mastermind behind this is someone else?"

Yun Biqiu nodded. "I'm just guessing. I don't have any solid evidence. However, I've been secretly investigating over the years and have discovered that the Wansheng Dao's style of action is different from ordinary Jianghu vendettas. They seem to be deliberately creating chaos and stirring up disputes."

"Creating chaos? Provoking disputes?" Bai Jiangquan pondered. "What is their purpose in doing this?"

"This is exactly what I can't figure out." Yun Biqiu sighed. "In short, we must be very careful and cautious in this operation. We must not alert the enemy."

"Well, Biqiu is right." Ji Hanfu agreed, "Let's wait and see what happens. When the Sect Master returns, we can make a long-term plan."
