Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"Forced?" Qiu Shui sneered. "Zi Yi, you didn't say that outside the mountain gate before. How come you suddenly changed your story now that your reliance has been driven away by the sect leader?"

Zi Yi ignored her, only looking at Xuan Nu with tearful eyes, hoping to move her with her tears.

"Yinyin, she's such a good cryr," Lin Jingjing whispered. "She can cry so easily and so beautifully. That's quite a skill."

Yinyin nodded haphazardly, but was too embarrassed to say that she actually had that ability too.

She was even more skilled than Ziyi, able to precisely control which eye would shed tears.

Although the two sisters didn't make much noise, Xuan Nu was not far from them, so she naturally heard and saw everything.

Xuan Nu ignored Lin Jingjing's spectator-like attitude and brought up Zi Lan, who had been tied up by Yin Yin and the other two.

"I remember you said Zilan is your daughter, so everything she does is at your behest?"

The woman in purple's eyes flashed, but she showed no concern for Zi Lan: "Sect Master, my daughter is indeed named Zi Lan, but this Zi Lan is not my daughter."

"I had no idea what she did."

Xuan Nu stared at her for a moment, but she was too impatient to discern the truth or falsehood in her words: "In that case, Qiu Shui, Zi Lan is now in your hands."

"We'll use her to give the younger disciples in the sect a good beating."

“Yes,” Qiu Shui met Zi Yi’s eyes, but replied to Xuan Nu’s words, “Sect Master, rest assured, apart from Jing Jing and Yin Yin, I will call all of Xuan Nu’s disciples to observe. Not a single one will be left out.”

Xuan Nu nodded and had someone throw a knife to Zi Yi.

“I’ll give you a chance to live,” Xuan Nu said, looking at the desolate autumn scenery in the distance. “Pick up this knife. If you can get out of the mountain gate, I will spare your life.”

Looking at the knife on the ground, Zi Yi pursed her lips and said, "Why does the sect leader say that? I have always been bad at martial arts and ranked last among all the managers. How could I possibly have the ability to leave now?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Xuan Nu saw that she didn't even dare to pick up the knife and her face was full of indifference. She only called to Yin Yin and her sister, "Let's go. You are just children. It's not appropriate for you to see the rest."

The two sisters did as instructed and walked towards the goddess.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Suddenly, Zi Yi reached for the knife and lunged at Yin Yin without hesitation.

Sensing the wind behind her, Yin Yin instinctively turned around, raised her hand, and launched a hidden arrow.

Hongyao, Xiangsi, and Qiushui also made their moves at the same time.

The woman in purple froze in mid-air, her hand holding the knife hanging there, looking unwillingly in Yin Yin's direction.

Her hands lost their strength.

The knife fell to the ground.

"Well done," Xuan Nu took Yin Yin's hand and turned to walk back, while also instructing Hong Yao, "Prepare the incense table. I want to formally accept Jing Jing and Yin Yin as my personal disciples."

The preparation of the red medicine was very quick; everything was ready before the afternoon.

Yin Yin and the other girl were dressed in black outfits and stood in the room where Xuan Nu was in seclusion.

The place has been tidied up again, and the Mystic Maiden sits in the main seat, but behind her is a painting.

The painting was full of flowers, but after observing the arrangement of the flowers, one could find that the pattern they formed was the same as the post that Hongyao had received before. However, Yinyin looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out where the feeling of familiarity in her heart came from.

Only after they had finished their greetings and drunk the tea to formally become disciples did the Goddess point to the painting behind her and say to them, "This is where I came from, and it may become your final destination in the future."

“Master, isn’t this just a painting?” Lin Jingjing examined it for a moment but couldn’t find anything different. “But this painting looks strange and isn’t very pretty. Could it be a map?”

Xuan Nu didn't answer, but instead looked at Yin Yin: "Yin Yin, what do you think?"

Yinyin said, "I think this painting looks a lot like the one Aunt brought back to the house earlier. Could there be a hidden message in it?"

After listening to her sister's words, Lin Jingjing looked at the picture in front of her again and figured out some of its meaning.

As for Xuan Nu, who heard Yin Yin's words, her eyes were full of satisfaction: "That's right, there are actually words hidden in this painting."

"There are mountains overseas, and people living in those mountains. If you are not a person living in the mountains, you will not find the way no matter how hard you search."

"This mountain is called Pengshan."

"These two words are written on both the painting and the note that Hongyao brought back earlier."

-

The two sisters officially became Xuan Nu's personal disciples, and naturally they would no longer move back to live with Hong Yao as before.

To make it easier for Xuan Nu to teach them, they moved directly into the house where they had previously stayed, and all their luggage was also sent here.

Having not seen each other for some time, the two still took the initiative to visit Hongyao's room, expressing their longing and also asking her about the doubts in their hearts.

“Aunt,” Yin Yin spoke first, “you captured Zi Yi, but didn’t interrogate her. Is it because you already knew who was behind her?”

"And Zilan, what grudge does she hold against us that she would want to harm us?"

“Yinyin,” Hongyao picked her up, “Sometimes you don’t need to look for answers in yourself when it comes to things in the martial world. Because even if you haven’t done anything, as long as you are the sect leader’s disciple, you are naturally a target in other people’s eyes.”

"Just like this time, although the sect leader is in seclusion, she is not easy to approach or scheme against. Those people wanted to lure her out so that the three Bo brothers could invade our Xuan Nu Sect's mountain gate, but they failed. Naturally, they will have to find another way."

“You and Jingjing are young and haven’t been practicing martial arts for long, so you naturally became their weak point.”

"As for the person behind it, the sect leader does know who it is. But without solid evidence, for the sake of the Xuan Nu Sect, it's not good to fight to the death with them, so we can only keep it in mind for now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingjing hurriedly pressed for details about who it was. However, Hongyao refused to reveal the specific person.

To distract the two sisters, Hongyao brought up another matter.

"In order to quickly accommodate enough people, the construction of houses was carried out in the most cost-effective and fastest way."

"But now that the sect leader has become a top expert, when we reopen the sect, many people will come to visit. As a result, the current layout of the buildings is not very appealing."

"Xiangsi and I discussed it and decided to renovate the house. You sisters must have seen many beautiful houses before, why don't you come and give me some ideas?"

"How should this new house be built to match the sect leader's current status and position?"

“Isn’t that simple?” Lin Jingjing said proudly, “Just ask my dad.”

“My father’s business is booming now, and he has many skilled builders under his command. If we bring them over, they can not only repair the mountain gate, but even build a palace.”

"Yinyin, don't you think so?"
