Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

At sunset.

Wearing a bamboo hat and riding a white horse, Duan Zhengchun led Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, who were riding in a carriage, slowly into a small town dozens of miles away from Jiangling City.

Qingyuan Town.

The town wasn't big, but Duan Zhengchun no longer had to worry about being hunted down by the Vajra Sect. He no longer needed to be on high alert, and he sat lazily on his horse, his eyes, hidden under his bamboo hat, looking around for the sect's mark left by Lin Zhiyuan.

The pedestrians walking in groups, the hawkers' cries on both sides of the road, and the sounds of clinking glasses coming from restaurants all felt incredibly real to him.

The long-lost aroma of cooking instantly relaxed him. All he wanted to do was have a good drink, but unfortunately, the gourd at his waist was empty.

Because they were traveling with Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, they didn't travel very fast. It took them three days to reach Qingyuan Town by following the marks left by Lin Zhiyuan.

Sitting in the car, Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying leaned out of the windows on either side, looking around at the unfamiliar town with happy smiles on their faces.

They grew up in Lujiazhuang and rarely left Jiangling City, so everything they saw was new and exciting, which gradually made them forget their reluctance to leave home.

Duan Zhengchun stopped his horse in front of a restaurant. He took a deep breath and swallowed hard, smelling the faint aroma of wine wafting from inside.

He really wanted to dismount, go inside, order a pot of wine, a plate of beef, and a plate of peanuts, and relax and enjoy himself.

But just as he had this thought, his gaze suddenly fell upon a sect symbol carved in the corner outside the restaurant, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Sir/Madam? Please come in!"

The waiter at the restaurant saw a horse and a carriage stop at the entrance and hurriedly came out to greet them with a smile.

But soon his face showed disappointment and disgust, and he turned his attention to another target, showing the same smile again.

Duan Zhengchun did not choose to dismount. He had already wasted too much time on the road and needed to meet up with Lin Zhiyuan and the others first.

Not long after, Duan Zhengchun led Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying to the door of an inn and dismounted.

Spring Breeze Inn.

"Brother Duan, is the person you're looking for here?"

Lu Wushuang slowly walked to Duan Zhengchun's side, looked up and examined the inn in front of her, and curiously peered inside.

Duan Zhengchun nodded without saying a word, handing over his horse and carriage to the inn's waiter. The coachman followed the waiter toward the back door.

That was a coachman specially sent by Lu Zhanyuan to make his daughter suffer less. After this trip, he would be free and would not have to return to Lu Family Village.

"Senior Brother Yin?!"

Just then, a familiar voice called out, and Lin Zhiyuan quickly came out from inside to greet him.

He always seemed to be the one waiting at the door for Duan Zhengchun's return, but this time when he saw Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying nestled on either side of Duan Zhengchun, he was somewhat taken aback. He hesitated as he looked at the two of them, swallowing back all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"How is Master Kumu's injury?"

Duan Zhengchun nodded in acknowledgment, and while asking questions, he stepped inside.

"He has recovered quite a bit, but I'm afraid he still won't be able to walk freely for a while."

"Who are these two young ladies...?"

As Lin Zhiyuan answered, he turned his head again to look at the two people following behind him, and asked hesitantly.

"Go get some food first, I'll tell you more later."

Duan Zhengchun touched his somewhat deflated belly and slowly said something.

Lin Zhiyuan agreed and immediately shouted towards the kitchen. Then he led Duan Zhengchun to a guest room on the second floor of the inn.

Master Kumu, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, was lying on his bed. Cui Zhifang stood beside him, holding his sword, seemingly still on high alert and not daring to be careless.

"Junior Brother Yin!"

Upon seeing Duan Zhengchun enter, Cui Zhifang's eyes lit up. He clasped his hands in a fist salute, clearly relieved as if he had finally completed his mission.

When he saw the two girls following behind Duan Zhengchun, his expression was almost exactly the same as Lin Zhiyuan's just now.

"Master, how are you feeling?"

After greeting everyone, Duan Zhengchun went straight to the bedside, glanced at Master Kumu, and asked softly.

"Young hero, you're finally back. I'm fine, I won't die, I'm just a little unsteady on my feet for now."

"How's the situation in Lujiazhuang?!"

Master Kumu gave a slightly apologetic wry smile, pressing for answers while struggling to get up, his brows furrowed with concern.

"Don't worry, everything is fine. This is Master Lu's daughter, Lu Wushuang, and his niece, Miss Cheng Ying."

Duan Zhengchun gestured for Master Kumu to lie down, then called Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying over and introduced them.

Upon hearing this, Master Kumu breathed a sigh of relief and was completely at ease. His gaze toward Duan Zhengchun was filled with gratitude and admiration.

Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying each bowed to Master Kumu. They knew that if it weren't for Master Kumu, Duan Zhengchun wouldn't have appeared in Lu Family Village, and they wouldn't be as safe and sound as they were now.

Especially Lu Wushuang, who was usually willful and capricious, became well-behaved at this time, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhengchun gave Master Kumu a brief account of what had happened in Lujiazhuang. Master Kumu listened with a constantly changing expression, his face showing even more approval.

"Young Master Yin's ability to perfectly resolve this grudge that has been brewing for fifteen years is truly a meritorious deed! It seems that I really did find the right person back then!"

After listening, Master Kumu gave a heartfelt compliment.

"Master, you flatter me. If it were you, you would certainly not want anyone else to die because of this. I was just doing my best."

"Now that the matter of Lu Family Village has been resolved, what are your plans next, Master?"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and asked slowly.

Upon hearing this, Master Kumu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Duan Zhengchun with a troubled expression, and stopped himself from speaking.

"Master, please speak frankly."

Duan Zhengchun saw through Master Kumu's thoughts and said with a smile.

Master Kumu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "My injuries have not fully recovered, and this place is far from Yunqi Temple, so I'm afraid I can't go back for the time being."

"I wonder if I could ask Young Hero Yin to escort this old monk to Guiyun Manor in Jiaxing City? Since you are continuing your journey back to Zhongnan Mountain, Jiaxing City is a necessary stop along the way."

Duan Zhengchun raised an eyebrow and hesitated before asking, "Jiaxing City? Guiyun Manor?"

Master Kumu nodded and said, "That's right. Lu Guanying, the master of Guiyun Manor, is my disciple. As long as you, young hero, take me to Guiyun Manor, that will suffice. I wonder..."

"it is good."

Before Master Kumu could finish speaking, Duan Zhengchun nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's unwavering agreement, Master Kumu was immediately filled with gratitude.

Then, the group let Master Kumu rest first, and together they went to the room that Lin Zhiyuan had prepared for Duan Zhengchun.

The table was already set with food, both meat and vegetables, and it looked delicious.

Perhaps because they had traveled for too long, Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying kept swallowing as they looked at the food on the table, but since Duan Zhengchun had not yet sat down, they did not dare to start eating first.

"Eat if you're hungry, no need to wait for me."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said something, gesturing for Lin Zhiyuan and Cui Zhifang to follow him to the corridor outside the door. As soon as he left, Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying exchanged a glance and couldn't help but sit down and start eating.

Standing in the corridor, Duan Zhengchun glanced behind him and revealed a gentle smile.

"Junior Brother Yin, you are, after all, a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. It must be quite inconvenient for you to always have two girls with you, right?"

"Besides, we're leaving tomorrow, and the sect leader will never allow you to bring two women back to the sect."

Cui Zhifang frowned, hesitated, and muttered a few words under his breath.

"Don't worry, once we return to Zhongnan Mountain, I will find a way to have them both join the Ancient Tomb Sect. I won't keep them by my side forever."

Duan Zhengchun turned around and looked at the hall downstairs, and said something indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Cui Zhifang and Lin Zhiyuan, who were equally worried, finally felt relieved.

"Tomorrow morning, the two of you should head back to your sect to report. Your senior uncles should be returning soon. We've been delayed for so long; we must go back and report to our master."

"I will escort Master Kumu to Guiyun Manor."

Duan Zhengchun paused for a moment, then continued.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan and Cui Zhifang exchanged a glance, their expressions turning slightly serious...
