Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Lin's father paused before looking over to take a closer look.

"Young Master Liu?" After recognizing who it was, Lin's father ignored him completely. But seeing that he had been noticed by the female warriors, he could only pat his wife's hand, get off the carriage, and bow to the women opposite him, saying, "Are you ladies members of the Xuan Nu Sect?"

Disciple of the Mysterious Woman?

Yin Yin couldn't help but open her eyes. She didn't know who this Young Master Liu was, but she knew about the Xuan Nu Sect.

Later, an all-female sect, Yaochi Palace, emerged, its predecessor being the Xuan Nu Sect. The Palace Master of Yaochi Palace was Xuan Nu herself, a rare and exceptional expert. However, she doesn't seem to have reached the level of a top expert yet.

Later, when the male protagonist's storyline officially begins, Xuan Nu has basically disappeared from the martial arts world. She spends most of her time in seclusion in Yaochi Palace, and those who travel outside are all flower fairies named after flowers from the Yaochi Palace's list of beauties.

Yin Yin knew so much about Yaochi Palace because the woman in Yaochi Palace who was known as Peony was the male protagonist's confidante, and the male protagonist also had a storyline in Yaochi Palace later on.

However, the fact that few dared to provoke the women of Yaochi Palace afterward does not mean that its predecessor, Xuan Nu Sect, was the same.

During this period, the Xuan Nu Sect was probably still in the stage of building its reputation. Although they only killed scum who were begged to join the sect and had bounties placed on them, their reputation was not good. In fact, because they killed several high-ranking scum from various sects, they had several enemies.

but……

Yinyin quietly shifted her position; she quite liked Xuan Nu.

Just as Yin Yin was hesitating to lift the carriage curtain, a hand reached out and stopped her.

Yinyin turned around and, oh dear, her mother had caught her. She could only sit obediently and listen, but her ears were getting closer and closer to the carriage, as if she wanted to stick them to it.

A member of the Xuan Nu sect, with a calm and steady voice, spoke up, "What, you want to save him?"

"I wouldn't dare," Lin's father flattered, "I've heard about the methods of the Xuan Nu Sect. They only deal with scoundrels who come to them for help and whose identities have been verified. They never make a mistake."

The Xuan Nu disciple's voice softened considerably: "You do have some knowledge. You may leave now."

"Thank you girl."

Yinyin could hear her father helping her onto the carriage when suddenly she heard Young Master Liu shout.

“You kill me, why don’t you kill him? He’s an old scoundrel who doesn’t even have a son. He must have seventeen or eighteen mistresses outside, just waiting to give birth to a son so he can bring him home and force his wife to her death.”

Young Master Liu glanced at the carriage with malice: "Who knows who's sitting inside? I just wonder which woman it is."

"Go and kill him! Go and kill him!"

Inside the carriage, Lin's mother was furious, but seeing Yin Yin suddenly stand up, she disregarded what was happening outside, quickly covered Yin Yin's mouth, and pulled her into her arms, whispering, "Yin Yin, be good. Your father didn't tell us to go out, so don't cause him any trouble."

Yinyin immediately understood what her mother meant.

She was too young. Lin's mother was worried that she would run around and offend the female knight, causing trouble. She was also worried that she was too young to understand things and might say something wrong that would bring trouble to her father.

Yinyin looked a little listless. That's the downside of being so young; you can't do much.

Lin's father outside was also furious. Facing the suspicious gazes of the Xuan Nu disciples, he could only rebuke them: "Nonsense! Let the heroine know that the person sitting in the carriage is my wife and daughter."

"Alright," the leading girl looked at Young Master Liu, "no matter how much you try to implicate others, it's useless. You allowed your mistress to mistreat your wife and daughter and even caused your wife's death. Your daughter reported you to the sect leader, and everything has been investigated. So, even if you try to escape, where can you run to?"

Yinyin clenched her fist in the carriage. "Fine, fine, so that's what I did. And then they used my own actions to frame others. What a scoundrel!"

Hearing these words, Lin's father got into the carriage even faster.

Once he was settled, the coachman cracked his whip, and the horse galloped off.

Because the ride was much more bumpy than before, Lin Jingjing, who had been asleep, woke up and asked with a blank look, "Dad, Mom, are we changing to a boat?"

There was a moment of silence inside the carriage, then suddenly Mr. and Mrs. Lin burst into laughter, and the previous seriousness and tension were swept away.

After estimating that they had traveled quite a distance, Lin's father instructed the coachman to slow down.

The carriage gradually slowed down to its usual speed.

At this moment, not only Lin Jingjing, but also Yin Yin felt like she was falling apart from being jostled around in the carriage, experiencing motion sickness for the first time in a long time.

Originally, Yin Yin wanted to say a few more words to her parents and express her curiosity about the Xuan Nu Sect members, but now she couldn't say anything at all.

I can't open my mouth; if I do, I feel like vomiting.

Fortunately, this place is not far from the village, so they are not in a hurry to go back to the city and will just stay in the old house.

The Lin family's old house is located on the edge of the village. It was built with blue bricks and gray tiles, and it was spacious and grand. They left a trusted old servant here to look after the house, and it was cleaned regularly, so they could move in right away.

Yinyin lay uncomfortably on the bed and soon fell asleep next to her sister. When she woke up, the sun was already setting.

Because the house only had an old servant couple who looked after the gate, Lin's mother came over personally to help her two daughters get dressed and comb their hair.

Lin's mother was quick and efficient, and the Yin Yin sisters were quick to raise their hands and sit down as instructed. The two sisters could even help each other pass small items, and they were all tidied up in no time.

Mr. Lin was sitting on the veranda drinking tea when he saw his wife leading their daughters over with a smile, and he couldn't help but smile as well.

"Dad," Yinyin called out in a strong voice, "you're up too!"

"Yes, Dad's up too," Lin's father said with a smile, turning over two small cups and pouring some water into them. "Jingjing, Yinyin, come and have some tea."

As he spoke, Mr. Lin poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Lin from the teapot beside him; this was proper tea.

Although the cups only contained lukewarm water that had been boiled once, the Yin Yin sisters still followed their parents' posture, holding the cups and drinking slowly.

Lin's mother glanced at it and had to admit that although her eldest daughter usually cared most about her appearance and manners, it was her youngest daughter who performed these movements most smoothly and naturally.

She didn't suspect that her youngest daughter had any problems; she just felt that her youngest daughter had a strong learning ability and was insightful and not overly constrained by etiquette.

After finishing her water, Yin Yin's eyes darted around, but she was thinking about how to bring up the matter of the Xuan Nu Sect.

Having missed the previous good opportunity, and with the family in such a good mood right now, bringing this up would be a bit of a mood killer.

But to be fair, for Yin Yin, who knows what the future holds, the Xuan Nu Sect is actually a pretty good place to go.
