"That's really interesting," Yin Yin realized, "So what exactly happened to the old sect leader?"

Qi Tianyuan said, "It's internal strife within the Demon Clan."

Yinyin chuckled lightly: "They've ruthlessly pushed out a demon general through internal strife."

Qi Tianyuan whispered some details to her, such as how he knew about this matter, how he intensified the hatred between the two demon clans, making them sink deeper and deeper, how he killed the old sect leader, and how he escaped being framed.

He told the story with great enthusiasm, and Yin Yin listened attentively as if it were a story, occasionally offering a few words of praise.

Knowing they were coming back early in the morning, Jingyue waited and waited but didn't see them. She couldn't help but go find them herself and found the two chatting happily.

Jingyue crossed her arms, looking annoyed. "What's wrong? Didn't we talk enough over the past few days? Or can't we sit down and talk properly after returning to the sect? Do we have to talk about it slowly outside?"

Yinyin stepped forward with a smile: "Speaking of interesting things, I forgot for a moment. Thank you for coming out to greet me personally, Senior Brother Jingyue."

Qi Tianyuan didn't say a word, letting Yin Yin behave as he expected...

Okay, as expected.

Yinyin only said one sentence, which was somewhat coaxing, and Jingyue didn't hold it against them. She even actively participated in the discussion.

"What did you just say? Tell me quickly."

Qi Tianyuan then began to explain to him from the beginning.

Now, one more person is taking a leisurely stroll and not in a hurry to go back.

Inside the main house, Ruoshui, who had just woken up, found the courtyard quiet. With a thought, she found her three disciples standing neatly in a row.

She didn't go out; she just opened the door and enjoyed her tea inside.

Once inside the courtyard, Yinyin was the first to notice something was wrong.

"Senior Brother Jingyue, didn't you close the door for Master when you left?"

“How could that be?” Jingyue retorted instinctively. “Could I be such a careless person?”

“Then there’s only one answer,” Yin Yin smiled and went inside first. “Master, you’ve come out of seclusion!”

"Master, did your retreat go smoothly this time?"

"Successfully," Ruoshui looked at her three disciples one by one, "thanks to you all."

A strange feeling welled up in Yin Yin's heart, as if there was something she should have guessed, but just couldn't figure out.

Because Ruoshui had been in seclusion for too long, and Qi Tianyuan hadn't returned for several years, he was busy telling her about what had happened outside.

Besides this first incident, Yin Yin also mentioned the time she went to the secret realm with Qi Tianyuan and encountered the Mysterious Light Divine Descent.

"What!" Jingyue's reaction was the strongest. "You all saw him, why didn't I?"

“Well, you didn’t go,” Yin Yin said without a hint of guilt. “Besides, we never expected that Senior Brother Hua would be able to successfully descend from the heavens.”

Jingyue pouted, accepting her reason, but then complained, "Everyone else got theirs drawn, why am I the only one who didn't?"

“Tianyuan is right in front of me, so he was the first one I drew,” Yinyin counted on her fingers for him. “If Tianyuan could stop for even a moment, I would definitely have to consider whether it would be possible to draw someone from our sect. Wouldn’t it be better to draw Master first, from top to bottom?”

"My master lingered a little longer, and time was running out, so I could only try my luck by drawing my senior brother first."

"If I had more time, I would definitely have drawn you in too."

"That's fine then," Jingyue said, finally being coaxed by her again.

With her worries resolved, Yin Yin looked at Qi Tianyuan again.

"Now that Master and Senior Brother Jingyue are both here, Tianyuan, tell me what Senior Brother said to you privately after I fell into a coma."

Qi Tianyuan was taken aback: "How could you..."

He quickly stopped talking, but it was too late.

"I just wanted to trick you, but I didn't expect there to be something real," Yin Yin said smugly. "Tell me quickly."

“Actually, there’s nothing special about it,” Qi Tianyuan said. “He said that I’m not alone anymore, and I need to think things through before I act, so I don’t make a mistake that I’ll regret.”

Jingyue stroked her chin: "You're practically living like a second senior brother, and you still have moments of impulsiveness?"

“You don’t understand Junior Brother Tianyuan, Senior Brother Jingyue,” Yinyin said. “Everyone says you should make up for what you lack, but have you ever thought that it’s because he’s not like that, that’s why he’s learning from you, Senior Brother?”

While Jingyue was still in a daze, Yinyin added, "When is his cold face not directed at outsiders?"

Jingyue turned to Qi Tianyuan and said, "Junior brother, I'm sorry, I didn't even see through your true personality."

“It’s alright,” Qi Tianyuan said. “I know you’re not smart enough, Second Senior Brother, so I won’t hold it against you.”

"Qi! Tian! Yuan!"

Jingyue was annoyed and pointed at him, unable to speak for a long time.

Yinyin quietly sat down next to Ruoshui, took out a plate of snacks and shared them with Ruoshui, it was almost as if she wanted to watch a show.

Jingyue turned her head and looked at them for a long time. She couldn't afford to offend the older ones, and she couldn't afford to offend the younger ones right now. In the end, she could only choose to ignore them.

Jingyue pretended that nothing had happened: "I wonder when my senior brother will come back. He can't just stay away because he's doing well outside, can he?"

“What does it matter whether he comes back or not?” Ruoshui said. “If he doesn’t come back, wouldn’t it be the same if you went to see him?”

“This is great,” Yin Yin clapped her hands and said, “It’s like visiting relatives.”

Jingyue's eyes lit up: "Then Master, when shall we set off?"

“Not now,” Ruoshui picked up a pastry, “we have to wait until your cultivation level is higher.”

Jingyue immediately declared her ambition: "I will go back and cultivate diligently, and I will definitely break through to the Nascent Soul stage soon."

"Second Senior Brother," Qi Tianyuan called out, making a hesitant expression, "are you really going to work hard, or are you just saying it?"

"Of course I really put in the effort," Jingyue said, in high spirits, and quickly finished her cultivation plan.

Yinyin didn't dampen his enthusiasm; instead, she added fuel to the fire.

"Then you must be careful, Senior Brother Jingyue. Junior Brother Tianyuan and I are now also at the Nascent Soul stage, and we have made considerable progress in cultivation."

"Who knows when we might overtake you?"

“Impossible, absolutely impossible,” Jingyue said very seriously. “I am definitely a Nascent Soul cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage before you all.”

Fortunately, all three of them were inside the gate, and Ruoshui was not in seclusion, so they could ask for guidance at any time.

Because of these few words, the three of them actually started cultivating.

Jingyue, who usually only had a three-minute attention span for cultivation, persisted from beginning to end this time, and entered the Nascent Soul stage even faster than Yinyin and the other two.

However, Yin Yin and the other two were not much slower than him, undergoing their tribulations one after the other.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Outer Sect has always been closed off, and its members undergo tribulations in secluded overseas locations, making it difficult for others to know about them.

Otherwise, it would be a rare occurrence anywhere if all three disciples of the Heavenly Outer Sect had safely passed their tribulations, resulting in three more Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, in some small sects, a Golden Core cultivator can become an ancestor, while in the top sect, a Nascent Soul cultivator must be an elder.

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

Rapid promotion can attract not only awe, but also covetousness and destruction.

The group from the Heavenly Outer Sect made a low-key return from the overseas island, but on the way they encountered Yao Yao, who was confronting the First Sect.

Yao Yao stood in front of a pitiful-looking woman, refusing to budge an inch: "So what if she's a demon? She's never done anything evil."

"Your Heavenly Outer Sect is unable to distinguish right from wrong and has committed countless atrocities. Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven and suffering death and annihilation when you undergo tribulation in the future?!"
