“It couldn’t have been that sudden,” Lin Jingjing said, covering her face. After a while, she said, “In the past few years, I was traveling and often went home. I saw him quite a few times and knew that he had also found a master, so it was inevitable that we would keep in touch more often.”

"Although we were both busy and didn't see each other much after that, we never lost contact. It wasn't until this year, when he reached the level of a second-rate master, that his master released him, and we started to spend more time together again."

“So it turns out that you had been in contact with Young Master Xiaoyuan for a long time, but you never said a word to me,” Yinyin sighed. “We just haven’t seen each other enough. I’m no longer the little sister you cherish.”

Lin Jingjing quickly put her hand down: "I... I didn't mean to not tell you, I just didn't know how to tell you."

"Oh?" Yin Yin feigned disbelief.

"Okay, Yinyin," Lin Jingjing said cautiously, pulling her along. "I wasn't sure about it before it even happened, so please forgive me."

Yinyin looked up at her: "So now that we've run into you, you're sure of the truth?"

“Isn’t that just a coincidence?” Lin Jingjing said, suddenly becoming more assertive. “Besides, I guessed that Master would definitely go there after receiving the news, so I was just about to head there myself!”

Yinyin and she grew up together, so she knew all too well what true confidence was like for Lin Jingjing.

Now that things are like this... she doesn't even want to talk about it.

Besides, she really wasn't suited to say it.

The two sisters grew up together in a simple environment, so naturally they listened to whoever was right.

Lin Jingjing has now been in the martial arts world for almost four years. From working with her fellow disciples to being able to carry out missions on her own, her growth during this time has been tremendous.

People naturally have different thoughts when they have different living environments.

Yinyin thought about it for a long time and decided not to expose her.

"I see," Yin Yin's eyelids twitched, and she changed the subject. "Then what did you want to see me about earlier, sister?"

Yinyin ignored her, and Lin Jingjing suddenly felt a little uneasy. She hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask how your trip to Pengshan with Master went."

“It was pretty good,” Yin Yin said. “This year, Uncle Baihu brought his little apprentice along, and we had a great time together.”

"Master Baihu's youngest disciple?" Lin Jingjing became interested. "It's rare to hear you talk about who you're close to. This junior brother must have some extraordinary abilities?"

"It's alright," Yin Yin said casually, "It's quite cute, like a big cat, and it has heterochromia."

Lin Jingjing wasn't unfamiliar with people with heterochromatic eyes, but Yin Yin's description was truly unimaginable to her: "If I had known, I would have gone with you and Master this year."

Yinyin opened her mouth, intending to say that she could go next year, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Judging from the current situation of Lin Jingjing and Yuan Zhongkang, it's hard to say what the situation will be like next year.

Seeing that Yin Yin didn't respond, Lin Jingjing had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.

In the past few years, Lin Jingjing has always had people who flatter her, whether because of her beauty or status. Naturally, there has never been a time when her words were actually spoken. So for a moment, she was so clumsy that she didn't know how to start a new topic.

Seeing this, Yin Yin could only take the initiative to speak: "How have you been these days, sister? Have you encountered any trouble?"

Lin Jingjing immediately replied, "What could possibly happen to me? With my master's backing, I could practically roam the martial arts world with impunity."

Yinyin burst out laughing: "Sister, if it walks sideways, it must be a crab."

"It's just a description, but it's definitely the most fitting one," Lin Jingjing said, then told Yinyin about some interesting things she encountered on the road.

Perhaps because she had so many things on her mind, Lin Jingjing started talking non-stop after Yinyin started to say a few words. When it was time to rest, she didn't want to leave and insisted on sleeping next to Yinyin.

Yinyin had no choice but to agree.

Who knew that from then on, for several days in a row, Lin Jingjing only went in and out with Yin Yin, and even Yuan Zhongkang was forgotten by her, which made Yuan Zhongkang look at Yin Yin with resentful eyes several times.

Yin Yin was also quite uncomfortable being sandwiched in the middle. It was a rare feeling for her that she was too bright and shouldn't be there.

To avoid getting in the way of the young couple, Yin Yin ran directly to Xuan Nu and obediently became her disciple, refusing to get off the carriage.

Xuan Nu found it amusing, but didn't chase her away. In her spare time, she would also give her some pointers.

If Lin Jingjing comes along, Xuan Nu will also have a lot to say to her.

In front of Xuan Nu, Lin Jingjing dared not slack off. As a result, this was the period in recent years when her internal energy progressed the fastest, apart from when she was in the mountain sect.

In fact, Xuan Nu was not entirely satisfied with Lin Jingjing's progress in internal energy cultivation while she was away.

However, in contrast, Lin Jingjing's combat skills have improved considerably. Without using internal energy, and only exchanging blows and countering moves, Lin Jingjing has already defeated Yin Yin several times.

The group walked slowly along the coastline for about ten days before finally arriving at a small town not far from Jianmen Mountain.

In fact, the original plan of the Goddess of the Mysterious Land was to travel by sea after traveling a certain distance, so as to avoid the bumpy journey on land. The ship would travel day and night and would be much faster.

However, after meeting Lin Jingjing, she never mentioned the plan again.

It's because Lin Jingjing is so afraid of seawater.

Fortunately, no matter how late they arrived, they didn't have to worry about not having a place to stay, as the Lin family had reserved ample accommodation space for them at the inn in town.

"We've finally arrived," Yin Yin thought, looking at the Lin family's logo on the inn's signboard, and really wanted to stretch without caring about her image.

After so many days of traveling, her bones felt like they were going to fall apart.

Although you can ride a horse, it's the middle of summer and there's so much dust.

Only young couples like Lin Jingjing and Yuan Zhongkang can ride side by side in the sunshine without any worries.

Yin Yin would never step outside as long as she could stay in the carriage with Xuan Nu.

Hongyao, who was coming down next, looked on with a smile in her eyes. She gently nodded to Yinyin, indicating that she should go with her to find the shopkeeper.

Yinyin and her companion entered first and walked to the counter, where they saw several martial arts practitioners looking dejected as they were about to leave.

The two glanced at it but ignored it, and directly handed the token to the shopkeeper.

After inspecting the place for a moment, the shopkeeper took out a few slips of paper representing the rooms and handed them to Hongyao with both hands.

Just then, the group of people who were about to leave stopped and said with unfriendly expressions, "Manager, didn't you just say there were no rooms available? How come when other people come over, you don't even ask them and there are rooms available again?"

"Is this a deliberate attempt to avoid doing business with us?"

The innkeeper wasn't afraid and said frankly, "The rooms for these ladies were arranged long ago, with tokens as proof."

"Now that I have seen the token, I will naturally give them the room that I reserved in advance."

“Who knows if you actually reserved it?” One of the men, a burly man with a fiery temper, slammed his large knife on the counter. “I only know the principle of first come, first served.”

The burly man took two steps toward Yin Yin and her companion, glancing at Yin Yin with disdain: "Little brat, hand over the door number, and I, your magnanimous grandfather, will let you off the hook, how about it?"
