Rong Xin's words were really shameless. If she felt sorry for the girl, she should go and save her. Why did she force Lin Xuxi to go?

"Xin'er, you shouldn't have come to me for this matter from the beginning. It was Jiang Sihan who punished Yan Yao, and it has nothing to do with me." Lin Xuxi folded the letter and explained helplessly, "Last time, you took Zhou Jingyue to Jianshan's Yaochi for no reason, causing Senior Brother Rong to almost go insane. Zhou Jingyue was almost punished to fall into the Qiushui Abyss, and it was me who took the blame. And you took Zhou Jingyue to steal the medicinal herbs from the disciples of Yaoshan for no reason, causing him to be punished with fifty lashes, and I took the blame again.

You always lead him into trouble, and in the end I am the one who gets punished. Xin'er, can you be more calm? You always lead those disciples out to cause trouble, and then I have to clean up the mess. This time it was Jiang Sihan who punished him personally, so I really can't say anything.

Rong Xin just cried and said that this was not her intention.

She cried so sadly that if you didn't know better, you would think she felt sorry for Yan Yao.

The more Zhou Jing listened, the more shocked he became. Whenever he did something wrong in the past, it always seemed to be related to Aunt Xin.

When I think about it carefully, it seems that every time Aunt Xin was punished, she always stayed out of it, and everything was handled by him and his wife.

Zhou Jingyue continued listening.

"Xin'er, you can't do this." Lin Xuxi drew a talisman on the envelope and lit it on fire.

The fire from the elixir burned the entire envelope in the blink of an eye, and the letter would soon be in Shu Jing's hands.

"I really can't offer any help in this matter. You should ask Jiang Sihan for help."

"But sister, he is your disciple. You won't just watch Yao'er get into trouble, right? Sister, please save him, I beg you." Rong Xin kowtowed while crying.

"If you had the energy to kowtow, you would have blocked a few whips for him long ago. With your Nascent Soul stage cultivation, the Soul Refining Whip is nothing to you. Xin'er, you can also help him block it."

Lin Xuxi walked around the desk and approached Rong Xin. She helped the weeping woman to her feet and comforted her, "Yan Yao is also Jiang Sihan's disciple. He calls you Aunt Xin. Do you want to stay out of this? I can't plead for mercy. After all, the curse was cast on me, and Jiang Sihan originally wanted to prevent any disobedience. If I plead for mercy, Jiang Sihan will probably be even more unhappy and punish me even more severely."

Rong Xin stared at Lin Xuxi blankly.

She now realized what was different about Lin Xuxi. If she had cried and begged in the past, Lin Xuxi would have run off to take the blame for those ungrateful people.

How come he's so eloquent now? She doesn't know how to continue acting.

Originally, she planned to ask Lin Xuxi for help, and then let Lin Xuxi help her take the punishment. She would do the same as Zhou Jingyue did last time, taking one or two whips and then pretending to faint.

In the end, the good reputation was all hers, but this time it didn't work.

"Xin'er, you used to be two-faced with me and even tried to steal Jiang Sihan's business, but I don't really care." Lin Xuxi said, glancing in the direction of the eavesdropping Zhou Jingyue, and continued, "But you can't always use me as a tool to gain fame. You told the disciples that those purple talismans were drawn by Jiang Sihan. Wouldn't that chill me?"

"No, it's not!" Rong Xin wanted to refute, but she held her sister's hand and choked up, "I didn't say that, sister, please believe me."

Zhou Jingyue covered his mouth and dared not make a sound no matter how surprised or confused he was.

He wanted to ask Aunt Xin why she lied. The purple talisman was drawn by Master. He had heard these words from Aunt Xin more than once. How could she lie to Master's wife and them?

"I didn't, sister, please believe me. I don't know where this rumor came from, but I am really innocent." Rong Xin cried very pitifully.

"Hey, go find Jiang Sihan."

Lin Xuxi had just taken the initiative to ask Jiang Sihan what kind of punishment he would give her because she guessed that Rong Xin would definitely come back to bother her, just like before.

She was well prepared, so she wouldn't be roasted on the fire again.

"Sister." Seeing that she was still like that, she was furious but couldn't say anything. Helped up, Rong Xin nodded and said, "Okay, okay."

"Xin'er, you should focus on your cultivation." Lin Xuxi patted Rong Xin's hand and immediately pulled it back, comforting her, "I can't interfere with Jiang Sihan's affairs anymore. You'd better go find the Sect Master."

"But, but how can I go to see the Sect Master without being summoned?"

Although Rong Xin was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, she was only a disciple in the Xuanyu Sect. How could she possibly go to see the Sect Master? Besides, if the Sect Master knew about this, Brother Han would be lectured again.

The old immortal sect leader only favors Lin Xuxi.

"If you're willing, I can help you." Lin Xuxi said with a smile.

Rong Xin hesitated and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid of disturbing the Sect Master."

Zhou Jingyue knew from her hesitation that she wasn't sincere in her intention to plead for Senior Brother Yan. Was it true that Aunt Xin had always been like this in the past?

"Sister, can't you really help Yao'er? He is your disciple after all." Rong Xin asked while crying.

It had been made clear just now that it was Jiang Sihan's problem, but she ended up crying and pushing the blame onto Lin Xuxi.

She refused to take the blame. Lin Xuxi smiled and said, "You can go. After all, you and Jiang Sihan are in love."

"But, but Brother Han never listens to me." Especially in the past few years, his ruthlessness and arbitrary decisions have become even worse. Rong Xin knew that going there would be useless and would only make Brother Han angry with her.

This sentence reminded him of an incident in the past that left a deep impression on him.

That time he was not serious about drawing the talisman and made two mistakes, which almost burned himself to death. The master was very angry and punished him by making him draw the talisman a thousand times.

It was Aunt Xin who went to plead on his behalf with the master, asking him to paint fewer pictures. When she returned, she said that the master had originally agreed, but had given up because the master's wife refused. Because of this incident, he began to harbor resentment towards the master's wife.

Auntie Ke Xin said that Master never listens to her. What is the reason?

He was suspicious and wanted to rush in to ask for clarification, but he was also worried. What could he possibly learn from such a long-ago event?

After a moment of thought, I came up with a solution.

"Alright." Rong Xin was just pretending, since she was here, she had something to say. She bowed and said, "Then I'll be leaving first."

"Ah."

Seeing that Aunt Xin was about to leave, Zhou Jingyue no longer hid.

"Master's wife."

Zhou Jingyue came in holding some fruit. Seeing Aunt Xin, he pretended to be surprised and asked curiously, "Aunt Xin, why are you here?" Judging from her reaction, she must have just walked in.

"I..." Rong Xin was about to speak, tears streaming down her face. In the end, she said nothing, shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I'm leaving first."

"Okay." Zhou Jingyue made way.

Rong Xin left crying.

If someone who didn't know saw Rong Xin crying like this, they would think that Lin Xuxi was bullying her.

Zhou Jingyue watched Aunt Xin wipe away her tears as she left. He had always felt confused over the years, and sometimes when he thought about things, it felt like he was trapped in a white fog.

Now, he seemed to be gradually walking out of the white fog, able to see things clearly and think.

"Master's Wife." Zhou Jingyue held up the fruit, but knowing that Master's Wife wouldn't take it, he walked to the desk and put it down, then bowed and said, "Master's Wife, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

He wanted to verify his guess and see if it was the same as he thought.
