After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

"What...what do you mean?"

Li Yue frowned slightly and looked at Xu Hanyi with confusion.

"Qingshu wants to use Xu Hanyi to get rid of us."

Realizing that the pressure that was suppressing her suddenly dissipated, Bai Zhi immediately rushed to Li Yue's side and pulled her back a few steps to create some distance between her and Xu Hanyi.

"..."

Li Yue stood there in a daze, the confusion on her face gradually faded away, replaced by an expression of disbelief and astonishment.

"A bunch of idiots. Killing you would only dirty my sword. It would be better to keep you alive. It would disgust her instead."

After saying this, Xu Hanyi turned around and walked towards the house not far away.

"..."

Li Yue looked at Xu Hanyi's back, pursed her lips, and suddenly said, "Wait... wait a minute."

Xu Hanyi's footsteps suddenly paused, but he didn't show any intention of turning back. After a moment, he picked up his footsteps again and continued to walk forward.

"Xiao Wanying was coerced by me, don't blame her." Liyue Liyue shouted anxiously.

However, Xu Hanyi seemed not to hear it and walked straight into the house without stopping.

"..."

Li Yue looked at the tightly closed door, her lips moved, but she said nothing in the end.

"Let's go, Master Li Feng, let's discuss this again when we get back."

Bai Zhi shook her head, her tone a little tired, and turned to leave first.

Li Yue sighed softly, withdrew her gaze from the door, turned around, and followed silently.

……

In Jiang Wanying's residence, candlelight flickered.

"Master, I know I'm wrong. Please punish me." Jiang Wanying knelt on the ground with her head lowered.

"..."

Xu Hanyi stood quietly in front of Jiang Wanying, looking at her with a serious gaze. The candlelight cast tiny shadows in her eyes, but no emotion could be seen.

After a long moment, she slowly shifted her gaze to the dying candle on the table and whispered, "Get up."

"..."

Jiang Wanying slowly raised her head and was about to say something, but she saw Xu Hanyi had turned around, his back facing her. There was no joy or anger in his tone, only a kind of indifference and alienation: "Tell him not to appear in front of me again."

After a pause, she added, "Same to you."

"Master!"

Jiang Wanying's expression suddenly became panic. She raised her head abruptly and eagerly grabbed the hem of Xu Hanyi's skirt with both hands. Her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

"Let go, our relationship as master and disciple has ended today."

Xu Hanyi's voice was calm and she looked down at the hand that was grabbing the hem of her skirt, without a trace of emotion.

"I really know I'm wrong, Master, please don't abandon me..."

Jiang Wanying's voice was choked with sobs and filled with pleading. Her hands were still tightly grasping the piece of clothing, refusing to let go.

"..."

Xu Hanyi was silent for a moment, his face still expressionless. He said calmly, "Okay. Go and bring him back. We'll go back to Tianjian Peak and everything will be as usual."

"Master..."

Jiang Wanying was about to say something, but she saw Xu Hanyi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, but instead had an indescribable ugly look.

"Stay with him. You've said before that what he's about to do is extremely dangerous. Every day you spend with him might mean you'll have fewer days left."

She pulled the hem of her skirt out of Jiang Wanying's hand, turned around and walked out of the house without any hesitation.

"Master!"

Jiang Wanying subconsciously stood up suddenly, staggering to catch up, but was nailed to the spot by Xu Hanyi's cold words, unable to move even a step.

"If you keep pestering me, I'll go find him and have a good fight with him."

……

Inside Linchuan Palace.

On the soft couch, Qing Shu leaned lazily in Lin Chuan's arms, her arms tightly around his waist.

"Sister Liyue and the others are probably blaming me right now." Lin Chuan spoke slowly as he played with Qingshu's long black hair that fell on her shoulders.

"There's nothing I can do. Qin Lang wants his sisters to be safe, but he doesn't want to hurt Xu Hanyi, so I have no choice but to take the blame."

Qingshu gently drew circles on Lin Chuan's chest with her fingertips, her tone a little coquettish.

Initially, she had intended to combine the Holy Land's formations with Huangquan to forcibly suppress Xu Hanyi. However, when Lin Chuan showed hesitation, she switched to her previous strategy, deliberately tricking Xu Hanyi into thinking she was trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

"I'll explain it to them then."

Lin Chuan held Qing Shu tighter in his arms, his tone soothing.

"I don't care about these things, and besides..."

Qing Shu changed the subject, her tone somewhat nonchalant, but a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes, "I actually kind of want Xu Hanyi to kill them all, so that Qin Lang can be mine alone."
