The next day, before the early morning twilight had completely faded, Pei Nianyi walked in the faint morning light to the agreed mountain gate.

The young man, standing tall and straight like a pine or bamboo, had been waiting for a long time. The morning light fell on him like fine sand, and his peach blossom eyes gently looked at the girl who was flying towards him.

"Thank you, uncle master! What a coincidence!" Pei Nianyi met the young man's eyes and smiled slightly.

Xie Changan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you."

Pei Nianyi was surprised and delighted: "So the person Master was talking about is Uncle Xie. That's great!"

Xie Changan looked at her from the side, his smile deepening: "How good is it?"

Pei Nian exaggeratedly drew a large circle in the air with his hands, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised: "That's great."

Xie Changan coughed lightly twice and said, "It's getting late, let's set off first." After that, he walked quickly down the mountain. He could obviously fly on his sword, but he chose to walk.

The winding mountain road, the quiet and secluded, lush valley, dotted with wild flowers that are red, white, purple or yellow, seemed to be relaxed because of his good mood. He thought it was nice to walk and watch at the same time.

"Uncle Xie, where are we going next?" Pei Nianyi caught up with Xie Changan and walked side by side with him.

"Feel free to go. Is there somewhere you want to go?"

"Will we pass by some markets in the cultivation world on the way?"

"You want to go and have a look?"

"Yes." Pei Nianyi nodded a little embarrassedly, "Except for Juanyun Town, I haven't been to the market."

"Then we can go to Bailing City first. The market there is very lively."

At the same time, Yaoguang Peak.

Jiang Nianrou held a communication talisman in her hand, with deep hatred in her eyes.

"You ran away just like that? If you were hiding inside the sect, I might not be able to do anything to you. But since you've left the sect, that's a matter outside of the sect. Humph! Do you think you'll be alright with Xie Changan around? Fang Qi, you go, and make sure you get it done right this time!"

Fang Qi lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Yes!"

After traveling for a few days, Pei Nianyi and Xie Changan arrived in Bailing City.

Bailing City is very large. The city walls built of huge stones extend to both sides, standing majestically between heaven and earth. The city is crowded with people and is very prosperous.

As soon as they entered the city, a group of children surrounded them.

"That kid, come here." Pei Nian pointed at a little girl.

The remaining children were sensible. Seeing that she had made her choice, they all went back and continued to look for the next business.

The chosen little girl happily ran up to Pei Nianyi, her attitude warm and respectful: "Master, my name is Xiaojiu. If you need anything, please let me know. I know everything about Bailing City, big and small, inside and out. You can pay the errand fee as you see fit."

The little girl who called herself Xiaojiu looked to be eight or nine years old at most. She was just an ordinary mortal and seemed to be a thoughtful person.

Pei Nianyi smiled and handed Xiaojiu a fruit: "I want to find a quiet place to stay for a few days. Do you have any suitable places to recommend?"

Xiaojiu took the fruit and said, "Thank you, Master. I know a small courtyard that should meet your requirements, but I have to ask the owner first before I can give you a reply."

"Okay. I'll wait for you for a while." Pei Nian pointed to a teahouse not far ahead. "Come find me there later and bring me a map of Bailing City."

"Don't worry, Master. Xiaojiu understands."

Xiaojiu ran away happily to finalize the house matter.

Pei Nianyi pulled Xie Changan into the teahouse.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of tea."

The two of them chose a seat in the corner and sat down, listening to the gossip of the guests in the teahouse while waiting for Xiaojiu.

Places like pubs and teahouses are often the best places to familiarize yourself with the environment and find out all kinds of information.

"A major event happened in recent years. Does anyone know about it?" An old Taoist priest spoke first.

"Bah! Just your trivial matters?" Someone familiar with the old Taoist scolded with a smile.

"Has there been any major events worth talking about in recent years?" The old Taoist's words obviously piqued the interest of some people.

"Are you ignorant?" the old Taoist said mysteriously, "Something big happened in Yunhua Palace."

The old Taoist closed his mouth and looked at everyone with an expression that said, "Please tell me."

"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and don't keep me in suspense." Someone was tactful and took out a few spirit stones that were still on the table.

The old Taoist happily put the spirit stone into his storage bag and continued, "The head of the Yunhua Palace has two outstanding disciples. One is the eldest brother Ye Hege, and the other is his junior sister. You all know this, right?"

Seeing everyone nod, he continued, "These two disciples have very good cultivation. They grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. They are in love with each other and have decided to marry as Taoist couples."

"I didn't expect that Ye Hege would rescue a woman from the mortal world after one of his experiences and be accepted as the last disciple by the head of Yunhua Palace."

Everyone loves to hear the secrets of love, hate, and passion. All the monks in the teahouse pricked up their ears, and all their eyes were on the old Taoist.

The old Taoist was a little proud and continued, "This little junior sister is born with a beautiful face and a gentle and fragile appearance that makes people feel pity. The eldest brother and the head of the sect both dote on this little junior sister. The little junior sister's reputation is growing, but the second senior sister has gradually disappeared."

"This junior sister once went out for training and accidentally entered a secret forbidden area. As a result, she disturbed the magical beasts imprisoned in the forbidden area."

"Ye Hege rushed to rescue them. The two fought for three days and three nights, but no one was victorious."

He described in detail the battle scene in which the earth and sky changed color, and the monks listened with great interest.

"In the end, Junior Sister used herself as bait to block the monster's fatal attack for Ye Hege, allowing Ye Hege to kill the monster and escape from danger."

"Although the two escaped the secret realm, Junior Sister was seriously injured, her golden core shattered, and she will not live long. Senior Brother was devastated and tried every possible means to save Junior Sister, even postponing his wedding to his fiancée."

"Later, I don't know where he found the secret method. He just needed to find a female cultivator with the same spiritual roots as my junior sister, and exchange her golden elixir with my junior sister. Then my junior sister would be able to recover as before."

"As fate would have it, Ye Hege's fiancée has the same spiritual roots as my junior sister. Only her golden elixir can save my junior sister."

"......" Pei Nian felt uneasy when he heard this. "No way? He dug out his fiancée's golden elixir and gave it to Junior Sister?"

Xie Changan had a blank expression on his face.

The old Taoist took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "Big Brother was hesitant. He owed his fiancée a delay in the wedding, and he couldn't bring himself to tell her. Later, while he was out, the Sect Leader informed her of the matter. By the time Ye Hege returned, the Sect Leader had already forcibly removed her golden elixir."

"This sect leader is deeply in love with the young apprentice sister and is not hesitant to persecute his own second disciple."

"Ye Hege was indifferent and did not stand up for his fiancée. Instead, he advised her to accept reality."

"This fiancée was also very stubborn. She refused to listen to any explanation from her master and Ye Hege. She completely dissipated her cultivation and returned it to the sect. Then she jumped off Yunhua Peak. The scene was truly tragic."

"This senior brother saw his fiancée jump off a cliff and die, and only then did he realize his mistake. He became possessed by a demon overnight and killed the head of the Yunhua Palace. He was later subdued by the Iron Pen Master of the Sword Sect."

"And then?" someone asked urgently, "was he killed?"

A monk who is possessed by a demon will lose all his sanity and will only care about killing. Once this happens, he will be killed on the spot.

The old Taoist shook his head and said, "I only heard that he was imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower by True Lord Tiebi, and there has been no news since then."
