Father Yan frowned, not understanding what these young people were thinking.

After thinking for a moment, Mother Yan nodded and said to everyone, "In that case, you should all go together. It's good to have company."

"Aqin?" Yan's father originally wanted to refuse, but before he could say it, his wife agreed first.

They don't know what Zhao'er's true purpose is, so how can they interfere?

“My mind is made up, Ah Jin, you don’t need to say anything more. They’ve lived in the manor since they were little and rarely go out. Since they all want to go out, let’s go together.”

Seeing that Yan's father seemed hesitant to speak, Yan's mother quickly expressed her opinion.

Upon hearing this, Yan's father gestured to Lin Jingyi with his eyes. He wasn't going out to play, and he certainly didn't want to bring so many people, so Yan's father gestured to Lin Jingyi with his eyes.

Let her refuse herself.

Lin Jingyi didn't want to take them with him, but he wanted them to know his true purpose for going out, especially if Yan's father told Yan's mother about Nie Shuangshuang's true situation.

Yan's mother was definitely more excited than Yan's father.

This is a bit difficult.

Lin Jingyi glanced at the two fellow disciples who were comforting Yan Ge. Perhaps, with them by his side, this trip would be more interesting.

Thinking this, Lin Jingyi said to Yan's mother, "Then let's go together. We'll set off in two days."

The more anxious she was, the more she could express her attitude towards Nie Shuangshuang to Yan's father.

"No!" This was a simultaneous refusal from both Yan's father and mother.

"Why?" Lin Jingyi looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. She could understand why Yan's father refused, but why did he still refuse even though Yan's mother had agreed to let them go?

Father Yan said calmly, "It's almost the end of the year, let's go after the New Year."

Yan's mother nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, junior brother. There’s no rush for this trip. No matter when we go or where we go, wherever we go, that’s all part of the martial world.”

Senior Brother Song Yuan also advised Lin Jingyi.

"Alright then." Lin Jingyi nodded, looking as if he had been persuaded.

"Yay!" Yan Ge said happily.

They began to imagine their lives after venturing into the world.

Afterwards, everyone went to the dining room for dinner and then returned to their rooms.

After returning to his room, Lin Jingyi did not cultivate on the rooftop as usual. Instead, he went back inside, picked up paper and pen, and imitated Yan Zhao's handwriting to write a letter.

She plans to leave tonight; it would be more convenient for her to go alone.

Bringing them along would not only be inconvenient, but would also delay the trip by two months.

Her image as a devoted lover can't wait that long.

After finishing the letter, he placed it in a prominent position in the room and took some silver.

After leaving the room, he went to find Yan's father, hoping he could help her calm down Yan Ge and the others.

Yan's father originally wanted Lin Jingyi to stay until the New Year before leaving, but seeing that his son was determined, he went with him.

Yan's father also knew that Lin Jingyi's trip was dangerous, and he was unwilling to let his daughter take this risk.

Lin Jingyi's martial arts skills are now higher than Yan's father's, and he can also defeat Mo Wuji, so Yan's father is not too worried about Lin Jingyi's trip.

However, it was tough on him as he had to deal with Yan Ge and the others.

Since his son had come to him, his father, it meant he still trusted him, so he could only agree with tears in his eyes.

Lin Jingyi then left Yan's father's study and went out under the cover of night.

Lin Jingyi left Yanxue Manor easily without alerting anyone.

Lin Jing also used his lightness skill, and an hour later he arrived at the small town near the mountain where he had saved Nie Shuangshuang.

Lin Jing didn't want to suffer from the constant travel, so he went to an inn and booked a room. Fortunately, there were still shops open at this hour.

After booking a superior room and settling in, Lin Jingyi went to bed.

I got up very early the next day.

It was nearing the end of the year, and there weren't many people staying at the hotel.

Lin Jingyi washed up and went downstairs for breakfast, but the place wasn't full.

I went down to the lobby, found an empty seat, and called out to the waiter, "Waiter, a bowl of porridge, please."

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter bowed and replied, then called out loudly, "Table number four, one bowl of porridge."

After finishing speaking, the waiter stood by and waited. When someone came, he went to greet them. Two people arrived and sat down next to Lin Jingyi.

Soon Lin Jingyi's porridge was served, and she slowly ate it.

The two people next to them started chatting.

Passerby A: "Have you heard?"

Lin Jingyi listened intently from the very beginning.

Passerby B: "What did you hear? Tell me!"

The second person to speak seemed to be an impatient person.

"Have you noticed that our town and the surrounding area have become much safer lately? We haven't heard any news of robberies or thefts?" Passerby A asked slowly, keeping the conversation in suspense.

"Well, that's true."

"Guess what the reason is?" Passerby A continued to keep everyone in suspense.

"I won't guess, just tell me."

Lin Jingyi also seemed quite anxious.

"Hey, don't worry. I heard that the bandit hideout nearby was busted overnight!"

Passerby A seemed very excited.

"Really? As far as I know, that bandit den has several hundred people." Passerby B looked incredulous.

Lin Jingyi continued to listen intently; she probably already guessed who the murderer was.

"Really, you can't disbelieve me. Five days ago, villagers living near the bandits' den noticed a foul stench coming from that hilltop. The whole hilltop smelled of it. The villagers were curious, and guess what?"

"Hey, stop keeping me in suspense! Just tell me already!" Passerby B, abandoning his breakfast, eagerly pressed for an answer.

"The villager mustered up his courage to go and see, and the bodies of those bandits were already starting to rot; they had been dead for more than ten days."

It's winter now, but it hasn't rained much in the past month, so the bodies are decomposing relatively quickly.

The waiter, who was listening nearby, said with feigned seriousness, "Indeed, I have a relative who lives near that village. He said he went to see it too, and those bandits died such gruesome deaths that he couldn't eat for several days."

“Yes, yes,” Passerby A quickly agreed.

Passerby A continued, "It's good that those bandits are dead; it's like getting rid of a scourge. Bandits were rampant, and the government couldn't control them, causing great suffering to the people."

"All I can say is, good riddance," said passerby B.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyi also asked with interest, "I wonder who has such great ability to wipe out a bandit den of more than two hundred people in one night?"

Seeing this, the waiter said to Lin Jingyi, "Sir, you don't know this, but she said that a few months ago, someone saw the people from Yanxue Manor had a conflict with that group of bandits. It is said that it was the people from Yanxue Manor who did it."

"Well done, these bandits shouldn't exist in this world." Passerby B said with a look of satisfaction.

Lin Jingyi was overjoyed to hear the waiter's explanation; Yanxue Manor had taken all the credit for Mo Wuji's work.

She still remembered when Mo Wuji brought his followers to Yanxue Manor, those people carried a strong smell of blood.

Before they came to Yanxue Manor, they raided the manor.

Lin Jingyi pondered for a while about Mo Wuji's purpose in doing this. She thought it might be for Nie Shuangshuang.

After all, when Yan Zhao rescued Nie Shuangshuang, Nie Shuangshuang was fighting with those bandits. If it weren't for Yan Zhao's appearance, Nie Shuangshuang would have died at the hands of the bandits.

The waiter chatted with the two passersby for a while, and when he saw another customer come in, he went to greet him.

The two people next to them continued to complain about the bandits and marvel at the chivalrous spirit of the people of Yanxue Manor.

Lin Jingyi had no interest in listening any further, so he quickly finished his breakfast, bought some dry food, checked out of the hotel, and continued on his way.
