Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

"Yes," the phantom replied.

Jiang Huan suddenly remembered the "aunt" her master had mentioned, so she tentatively asked, "Are you called Yue Xiyin? No... I should say, Duanmu Xiyin?"

As she finished speaking, the illusory figure visibly swayed, its tone filled with shock: "How did you know the name Duanmu Xiyin?"

Even her own daughter didn't know that her original surname was Duanmu, so how did this little girl find out?

Seeing the illusory figure's excited expression, Jiang Huan understood what was happening. He stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Junior nephew Jiang Huan greets senior aunt."

"Master's aunt? Your master is..."

“My master’s name is Yue Wuyang,” Jiang Huan replied.

With just this one moment, the phantom was so surprised that it revealed its true form.

Upon seeing the illusory figure's appearance, Jiang Huan was quite certain that this was her master's long-cherished aunt, Duanmu Xiyin, also known as 'Yue Xiyin,' who was also the biological mother of Old Madam Duanmu!

However, what she didn't understand was whether her aunt was still alive in this state.

Duanmu Xiyin circled Jiang Huan once, scrutinizing the latter with her wise eyes for a long time before speaking again: "You said your master was named Yue Wuyang, but do you know that Yue Wuyang vanished into thin air more than a thousand years ago?"

"Master, do you really think my master will vanish into nothingness? If so, why did you keep searching for her until decades ago before deciding to get married and have children?" Jiang Huan asked, a faint smile on her lips.

Actually, she was just guessing.

She sensed from her master that her master and his aunt had a deep affection for each other.

If my aunt were still alive, she would definitely try to find her master.

Master's primordial spirit was sealed in that alchemy furnace for over a thousand years. Master's aunt had probably been searching for it for over a thousand years as well. It was only in recent decades that she could no longer find it, so she decided to get married and pass on the ancient book and pendant to her descendants.

If the aunt's spirit is inside the pendant, then if her body is still intact, and her spirit returns to its place, she can come back to life...

While Jiang Huan was pondering, Duanmu Xiyin had already thoroughly examined Jiang Huan inside and out with her divine sense.

"So you're at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage, already possessing true qi. No wonder you were able to break the seal on the pendant..." Duanmu Xiyin said wistfully, then her eyes sharpened: "You said your master is Yue Wuyang, so where is your master now? And how did you meet your master and become his disciple?"

After confirming that the person in front of her was her master's aunt, Jiang Huan did not hide anything and told Duanmu Xiyin how she met Yue Wuyang and how she became Yue Wuyang's disciple.

When Duanmu Xiyin learned that the primordial spirit of the person she had been searching for for thousands of years was sealed in a small alchemy furnace, she was furious. "That damned Taoist priest! How dare he seal my junior sister's primordial spirit in such an insignificant alchemy furnace! I'm so angry!"

As Duanmu Xiyin's anger erupted, Jiang Huan's room instantly froze, causing her to shiver involuntarily. She had no choice but to quickly circulate her true energy to protect herself, and at the same time, use her internal energy cultivation technique, the Blazing Lotus, to prevent herself from freezing to death!

"Um... Aunt, could you please tone down your chill? It's not that I'm afraid of freezing to death, I'm just worried about what will happen to my family." Jiang Huan awkwardly twitched the corners of her mouth and gave a sheepish smile.

It's one thing for my master to have a bad temper, but I never expected that this fellow disciple's temper would be even more uncontrollable!

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Xiyin withdrew the chilling aura she had released and stared intently at Jiang Huan: "Where is your master?"

"I don't know." Jiang Huan shook her head. "When I left the Duanmu family, it seemed that my master didn't follow me. Is my master still with the Duanmu family now?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't know where her master went back to.

The master now only has a primordial spirit, and those who do not cultivate cannot see the master, so she does not need to worry about the master being exposed.

"Then go to the Duanmu family now. I want to see your master."

"Can't my master go by herself?" Jiang Huan was taken aback. "My master's spirit can move around freely..."

“I’m different!” Duanmu Xiyin said somewhat impatiently, “It’s a long story, let me see your master first!”

"Oh, okay..." Jiang Huan nodded.

She had originally planned to ask Ling Siye to go with her, but after thinking it over carefully, she contacted Butler Wang and asked him to help cover it up. She then climbed over the wall to leave the Jiang family and rode her motorcycle with the pendant to the Duanmu family.

When she arrived at Duanmu's house, she didn't know how to tell Duanmu Lin that she wanted to look around his house.

After all, you can't just call someone "Master" to thin air, can you?

So she had no choice but to squat outside and let her aunt enter the Duanmu family by herself.

It was at this moment that she realized that the difference between her master and her aunt was that her master could move freely, while her aunt was restricted by this pendant. Wherever the pendant was, her aunt could be.

After waiting for a while at the Duanmu family's door, Duanmu Xiyin came out again, her eyes red and her face full of sadness.

"Master..."

"Your master isn't here, let's go back to your house first!"

"Okay." Jiang Huan didn't ask any more questions, and got up to leave.

However, as she turned around, she could sense a burning, reluctant gaze behind her.

As she got into the car, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and noticed that Old Madam Duanmu was standing on the balcony watching her.

It seems that my aunt just went to catch up with Madam Duanmu...

Throughout the journey, the nun remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, her eyes always tinged with sadness.

When they were almost back at the Jiang family home, Duanmu Xiyin finally spoke: "I just checked. Your master isn't at the Duanmu family home, but there are traces of magic left by your master there. She defied fate and exhausted her primordial spirit energy. She's probably gone to replenish her energy now. Do you know where there's a place with abundant true energy?"

"My dear aunt, why didn't you say so earlier..." Jiang Huan said helplessly.

If you had said so earlier, we would have taken a different route instead of having to take a detour now.

"I was thinking about something and forgot."

"..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan could only sigh helplessly, "Then I should know where Master is."

If we're talking about places brimming with spiritual energy, then Jinpeng Mountain is the place to be.

Sure enough, after she brought Duanmu Xiyin here, she didn't even need to talk to the old man. Duanmu Xiyin seemed to have sensed her master's presence and flew away in a flash.

The area covered by the pendant wasn't very large, but it was enough for Duanmu Xiyin to reach the Cold Spring.

"Miss Jiang Huan, you're here again!" The old man's eyes were filled with surprise when he saw Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan nodded: "Come and take a look."

"Are we going to Cold Spring again today?" the old man asked cautiously.

Jiang Huan was about to say "uh-huh," but seeing that the old man seemed to have something to say to her but was having difficulty speaking, she said, "No, I just came to take a look. I don't know yet whether I should go to the Cold Spring."

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up with joy, and he said excitedly, "Then, Miss Jiang Huan, would you like to come with me somewhere? Don't worry, Miss Jiang Huan, I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you!"
