Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Hongyao and the others had already considered Lin Jingjing's considerations and naturally took corresponding measures. However, she didn't reveal much to the two juniors, only instructing them to practice martial arts diligently and pay close attention to Xuan Nu's movements.

Now, the task of delivering meals to Xuan Nu has been completely handed over to her two little apprentices.

As the leaves on the mountain gradually turn crimson, another autumn has arrived.

After delivering food to Xuan Nu, Yin Yin and her sister practiced their moves outside for a while before returning to the house. However, as soon as they opened the door, they saw Hong Yao sitting at the table with a worried expression.

"Why is Auntie unhappy? What happened?" Yinyin walked to Hongyao's side and immediately saw the invitation in front of her.

Lin Jingjing glanced at it: "Who sent this invitation again? The pattern on the outside is quite nice."

The pattern looked familiar to Yin Yin, but she couldn't quite remember where she had seen it before.

Hongyao realized what was happening, put away the invitation, and asked, "You've returned from delivering food to the sect leader. Has there been any news from the sect leader's side?"

Yinyin and the other girl shook their heads together.

Hongyao sighed: "I understand. I'll go out for a bit. When you get there, just wash up and go to bed. Just leave the door open for me."

After giving her instructions, Hongyao hurriedly left with the invitation, leaving the two sisters full of doubts.

"So many invitations have been sent over, why is this one the only one that Auntie is so concerned about?" Lin Jingjing asked her younger sister. "Yinyin, do you think there might be something wrong with the person who sent this invitation?"

"I wish I knew what was written inside."

Yinyin agreed with this. It's useless to try to guess what's written inside a post just by looking at the cover.

However, judging from Hongyao's demeanor, it was absolutely impossible for her to explain the details to the sisters.

Now, the two sisters can only tell from Hongyao's attitude that whatever is written in the post is something that Hongyao or Xuannu would find hard to refuse.

After washing up, Yinyin and her sister lay in bed practicing their inner cultivation techniques.

When her mind was blank, the pattern on that post always seemed to linger in Yin Yin's mind.

Yinyin thought for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the pattern looked like a deformed character.

But she was quite certain that she had never seen such words in the world.

If it's not this world, then it must be related to something else.

Yinyin racked her brains but couldn't figure out what those two words meant, and finally drifted off to sleep.

When Yinyin woke up the next morning, Hongyao had already gotten ready.

Lin Jingjing, who had been holding back her curiosity for a long time, finally asked, "Auntie, what did that post say yesterday?"

Hongyao glanced at her with lowered eyes before saying, "It's nothing serious, just an invitation for the sect leader to attend a birthday banquet."

"Invite Master to the birthday banquet?" Lin Jingjing frowned. "But Master is still in seclusion, how can we go?"

Yinyin walked closer: "Auntie, can't someone else go in my place?"

Hongyao ruffled her hair: "There are still a few days left, the sect leader might come out of seclusion soon."

That's what they say, but Xuan Nu hasn't made a move for so long. If the date on the post is urgent, can she really come out of seclusion in such a short time?

Yin Yin and Lin Jingjing were not very optimistic, but Hongyao made it clear that she did not intend to let them know too much, so they could only pay more attention to Xuan Nu's movements when delivering meals each day.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hongyao and Xiangsi began packing their luggage.

Seeing that Xuan Nu would not be able to leave seclusion for a while, the two of them decided to go out to a banquet together, entrusting all the affairs inside the sect to Qiu Shui.

Only then did Hongyao reveal a few details about the identity of the person who sent the invitation to Yinyin and her sister.

The invitation came from the sect where Xuan Nu grew up. Although Xuan Nu has now established her own sect, it doesn't mean she has completely severed ties with her past. Since they sent an invitation, she has to go back and celebrate.

As for why Hongyao and Xiangsi were the two of them, it was naturally because they had followed Xuan Nu the longest and knew how to get to Penglai.

“But Auntie,” Yinyin asked hesitantly, “you and Aunt Xiangsi are not at home. What if unwelcome guests like the Bo brothers come to our door again?”

Hongyao squatted down and said earnestly to the Yinyin sisters, "If any more unpleasant guests come, Qiushui will naturally be there. But when that happens, Yinyin and Jingjing, don't go out like you did last time."

"In addition, there is one more thing I would like to entrust to you."

Before the two sisters could offer any comments on her previous statement, they heard her continue.

“You are the sect leader’s disciples. Xiangsi and I are not in the sect. So, the task of serving the sect leader is left to you disciples. Therefore, I have thought about it and decided that tomorrow you will move directly to the small house next to the sect leader’s courtyard.”

"Although it's far away and not as convenient as here, and we have to do many things ourselves every day, you are the people I trust the most when it comes to the sect leader's affairs. Can you take good care of yourselves and the sect leader at the same time?"

"Of course," Lin Jingjing readily agreed, feeling so trusted, and patted her chest to assure them, "Auntie, don't worry, my little sister is still young, but I'll take care of everything!"

Yinyin hesitated and didn't speak, but Hongyao didn't give her a chance to continue, replying to Lin Jingjing: "Okay, with Jingjing saying that, Auntie is relieved."

After saying that, Hongyao sent Lin Jingjing out to get her food, leaving Yinyin behind.

"Yinyin, although you are young, your aunt knows that you are a smart child. After your aunt and Aunt Xiangsi leave, you and Jingjing should keep a close eye on the sect leader's courtyard. Even if there is something you have to do, one of you must stay behind to watch over it. If you are unsure about anything, just go and find your Aunt Qiushui. Can you do that?"

Yinyin nodded, but felt a little strange in her heart, because Hongyao's attitude was a bit too formal.

"Auntie, have you discovered something?"

Hongyao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, just do as your aunt says."

After Hongyao went to attend to her own business, Yinyin pondered her words several times in her mind and finally understood what she meant.

Despite the sweet words Hongyao spoke and the important responsibilities she bestowed upon the Yin Yin sisters, the core message was simply that the two sisters should not leave the vicinity of the courtyard where Xuan Nu resided.

As for taking care of Xuan Nu, within the Xuan Nu Sect, even with the abilities of the Yin Yin sisters, if any powerful figure wanted to harm Xuan Nu, the sisters couldn't offer any help, and weren't even qualified to be cannon fodder.

It's impossible for Hongyao to have any ill intentions, because in the Xuan Nu Sect, if anything happens, the safest place is within Xuan Nu's reach, even if Xuan Nu is in seclusion.

The sisters were moved to the house closest to Xuan Nu, separating them from others and reducing contact. From another perspective, this was actually to ensure their safety.

Having figured this out, Yin Yin became even more puzzled. What exactly was the post about, and what were Hong Yao and the others trying to do with it?
