Yinyin waved her hand in front of Xiao Liu's eyes. Seeing that he had come to his senses and was still rational, she removed the gag from his mouth.

Yinyin threw him directly onto the flying carpet and quickly maneuvered the carpet toward another exit.

"I'll untie you after we leave the secret realm. Your eyes are still red. If you don't want people to find out that you've fallen into demonic possession, you'd better close your eyes and pretend to be asleep."

Xiao Liu shifted uncomfortably and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why were you there?"

"Of course it's because Tianyuan felt something was off," Yinyin said, piling all the good things on Qi Tianyuan. "After all, you and Tianyuan are friends. He's already spoken up, so how could I, as his senior sister, not help him?"

Xiao Liu was somewhat moved, and as her emotions gradually calmed down, she awkwardly said, "No matter what the reason, thank you. It was wrong of me to target you back then. I'm sorry."

Yinyin glanced at him, neither accepting nor rejecting, but simply hurried on her way, trying to leave the secret realm as quickly as possible.

Before leaving the secret realm, Yin Yin cast an invisibility spell, and they emerged silently.

She had just found a secluded spot in the mountains to stop when she received a message from Qi Tianyuan.

"Junior Sister, did you come out safely?"

He was asking Yin Yin, and also Xiao Liu.

Yinyin replied, "Of course, don't you know who I am? See you later."

Yinyin turned to look at Xiao Liu and untied the ropes binding him: "Alright, it's up to you what to do next. But the people who harmed you are still around. If you don't want to die, I advise you not to let others find out that you're still alive."

Xiao Liu had just been untied, and his hands and feet were still congested with blood and he couldn't move, but he still earnestly said to Yin Yin, "If you ever need my help in the future, just give me your orders, and I, Xiao Liu, will do my best."

“No need,” Yinyin glanced at him and tossed him a brocade pouch. “Of course my senior and junior brothers will help me if I need anything. You should take care of yourself.”

Seeing that Yinyin was about to leave, Xiao Liu immediately spoke up to stop her: "Yaoyao is a high-ranking demon. She can order demon generals to do things for her. You must be careful."

Yinyin nodded and disappeared before his eyes.

Xiao Liu's eyes were bloodshot, and anyone could tell he was possessed. He opened the brocade pouch and looked inside, finding some valuables. His expression was one of crying but not quite.

Hearing the sounds of others approaching, he stumbled to his feet and ventured deeper into the area.

Yinyin said she was leaving, but waited until Xiao Liu was completely out of sight before heading in the direction she had agreed upon with Qi Tianyuan and the others.

Although she was trying her best to control the flying carpet, the change of exit door had still taken up a lot of time, so she now had to speed up to avoid arousing suspicion.

Fortunately, Yin Yin didn't linger, and with Qi Tianyuan and Jing Lin helping to slow down their pace, Yao Yao didn't suspect anything when they met up.

"Junior Sister," Yao Yao exclaimed happily, relieved, and walked closer, "Junior Sister, have you found everything you wanted?"

Yinyin nodded: "I've found them all, so I need to rush back to the sect later to process the Ice Lotus first."

"Ah," Yao Yao said, sounding a little disappointed, "Does that mean you won't be able to go out and play with us anymore, Junior Sister?"

"There's nothing we can do about it," Yin Yin said apologetically. "If the Ice Lotus isn't prepared and used quickly, its medicinal effects will be compromised."

As Yao Yao was sighing, Fairy Ling Su said, "I also received a message from my sect that I have to go back. I can no longer venture out into the world."

As she spoke, Fairy Lingsu looked at Qi Tianyuan again, her eyes filled with unconscious anticipation: "The sect leader even specifically mentioned Fellow Daoist Tianyuan, inviting you to be my guest. Would you... like to come along?"

Yao Yao glanced at Fairy Ling Su, then at Qi Tianyuan, and felt a surge of frustration.

For no other reason than that the First Sect had many capable people, and Yao Yao was afraid of having her identity exposed, so she dared not go.

Jing Lin and Qi Tianyuan exchanged a glance: "Oh dear, it seems that only Yao Yao and I are left. Should we still go on our trip?"

The last question was directed at Yao Yao.

"What's the point if there's no one with me?" Yao Yao snorted, then suddenly remembered something and asked Yin Yin, "Senior Sister, can I go back to the sect with you? I couldn't go in last time, and I really want to know what it's like inside."

"I can't go," Qi Tianyuan refused before Yin Yin could answer. "Our sect forbids outsiders from entering, not even friends."

Yao Yao was about to get angry when she heard the word "friend" in Qi Tianyuan's words, and her original dissatisfaction softened a lot: "Why are you so strict?"

"We can't send messages, and outsiders can't come in. If Junior Sister goes in, wouldn't that be the same as cutting off all contact?"

Seeing the pity in Yao Yao's eyes, Yin Yin said, "We're used to it, we don't think it's anything."

Yao Yao couldn't believe that anyone could endure years of loneliness: "No wonder you and Tian Yuan are both young but have high cultivation levels."

After exchanging a few words, the group decided to go their separate ways.

Before leaving, Jinglin asked Yaoyao, "Can you manage on your own? Do you want to come with me to do some chivalrous deeds?"

"No," Yao Yao said listlessly, "I've been out for a long time, it's time for me to go home. Next time you go out to play, don't forget to send me a message, and I'll definitely come out."

Yao Yao stayed where she was, while Yin Yin and the others went in different directions, but after traveling a hundred miles, they reunited in the same place.

Fairy Ling Su frowned and asked, "Are you ostracizing Yao Yao?"

“Fairy Lingsu, don’t worry,” Jinglin said. “If you find out what’s going on later, you won’t say that.”

Yinyin threw down a large tent, affixed concealing talismans, and beckoned everyone inside: "It can't be explained in a few words. I used a recording stone, so once you've seen it, you won't need me to say anything more."

Qi Tianyuan and Jing Lin were both prepared for Yao Yao's true colors, but the one most shocked was Fairy Ling Su, who had the best relationship with Yao Yao.

Although Yao Yao is a bit temperamental on ordinary days, she is generally lively and cute in front of her. Although the two share the same feelings, they get along well, and Fairy Ling Su treats her like a younger sister.

Therefore, Fairy Lingsu could not accept seeing these images.

"This... Yao Yao is a kind and good girl, she would never do such a thing. Could it be that someone is impersonating her..."

She couldn't continue speaking.

Because Yin Yin's memory stone even records how they left the secret realm one by one, and there is no way anyone could impersonate Yao Yao and remain undetected by the rest of them.

Besides, Fairy Lingsu had seen that purple jade gourd the most.

"Why is that?" Fairy Lingsu couldn't understand. "We've known each other for quite some time now. When Xiao Liu was insulted, it was Yao Yao who stood up for him. Why would she turn around and attack Xiao Liu?"

"This..." Yin Yin took out a new recording stone, "I'm afraid you'll have to see what Xiao Liu said after he came out."
