But should he go against Sai Shishi for Liu Yinyin's sake? The hesitation in Qi Shilin's eyes didn't escape Liu Yinyin's notice.

Liu Yinyin felt contempt, having already figured out Qi Shilin's choice. She thought that rather than letting him refuse, she should strike first.

She lowered her eyes sadly and said, "Understandingly":

"Senior Brother Qi, I know you are naturally righteous and hate to see others bullying the weak, but we are all from the same peak after all."

You're not only my Senior Brother Qi, but also theirs. They're all family, and I don't want to put you in a difficult position, so I'll leave it at that.

Having said that, he turned to leave, but Qi Shilin grabbed Liu Yinyin. Liu Yinyin smiled but didn't turn around. Then, Qi Shilin seemed to have made up his mind and said firmly:

“Junior Sister Liu, as the senior brother of Fu Peak, it is my duty to maintain harmony within the peak. Since bullying has occurred within the peak…”

How could I just stand by and do nothing? However, Senior Sister Sai is indeed more experienced than me, so I can't really say anything to her about this.

"How about I take you to see Master and tell him the truth? I'm sure Master will stand up for you. What do you say?"

Qi Shilin inwardly praised himself for his cleverness; this way, he both preserved his image and tested his master's attitude.

Liu Yinyin, who was extremely adept at navigating social situations, could easily see through Qi Shilin's ulterior motives. Although she desperately wanted Mu Qingchen to stand up for her,

But she was also very clear about her own worth. She could cultivate goodwill, but she couldn't overestimate herself.

Thinking of this, Liu Yinyin wiped away her tears, revealed a grateful smile, and looked intently at Qi Shilin, saying with emotion:

"Senior Brother Qi, you are so kind. I am already very grateful for your kindness, and I don't need to trouble Master anymore."

Seeing that Qi Shilin seemed puzzled, Liu Yinyin continued:

"Senior Brother Qi, I know that if we go to Master Mu about this, he will definitely handle it impartially. But compared to cultivation, this is a trivial matter."

Master Mu has high expectations for Senior Brother Qi, and I don't want Master Mu to think that Senior Brother Qi is neglecting his duties because of romantic feelings.

Liu Yinyin spoke with heartfelt sincerity, which both frightened and moved Qi Shilin. His gaze towards Liu Yinyin became much more genuine than before.

Seeing this, Liu Yinyin was very satisfied, feeling that her grievances today were not in vain, at least they brought her and Qi Shilin closer.

I believe that in the future, if anything happens, Qi Shilin will think of her to some extent. Sure enough, the next second, Qi Shilin said:

"Junior Sister Liu is indeed very considerate. However, Junior Sister Liu has ultimately been wronged. I will have someone inform the Hall of Affairs later."

"How about we deduct a portion of Liu Xiaoya's and Wu Li's allowances and give it to Junior Sister Liu as compensation?"

Liu Yinyin was secretly delighted, but hesitated before speaking:

"This...isn't that a bad idea? Senior Sister Liu and Senior Sister Wu will definitely be angry with me, and then I'll have to..."

Although the words were not finished, Qi Shilin understood the meaning. He quickly patted his chest and assured him:

"Junior Sister Liu, don't worry. Those who make mistakes should be punished, especially since I gave the order. If they cause trouble for you because of this, I will definitely seek justice for you."

Liu Yinyin looked at Qi Shilin with eyes full of admiration and emotion:

"Senior Brother Qi, thank you. Fu Feng is truly blessed to have a senior brother like you."

Qi Shilin was flattered and elated, especially by Liu Yinyin's adoring gaze, which greatly satisfied his chauvinistic ego.

He waved his hand dismissively, and said to Liu Yinyin with great pleasure:

"Junior Sister Liu, you flatter me. Let's go. We've been out for quite a while now, so it's time for us to head back."

********

Upon returning to the courtyard, Ji Zeyang and Tang Xinyan received a message from Xiao Yimo, instructing Tang Xinyan to find him at the summit.

Tang Xinyan didn't dare to delay. She greeted Ji Zeyang and hurried to the summit.

"Da da da."

"Enter."

Tang Xinyan pushed open the door, bowed to Xiao Yimo who was sitting at the desk, and asked curiously:

"Master, are you looking for me?"

Xiao Yimo put down the book in his hand and said with a smile in his eyes, "You did a good job just now."

Tang Xinyan was surprised for a moment, then understood: "Thank you for the praise, Master."

As if feeling that his expression was not quite right, Xiao Yimo added:

"Yan Yan, remember, you are my disciple, Xiao Yimo. You don't need to be too accommodating to those who don't know what's going on. You have a master to guide you."

These words warmed Tang Xinyan's heart. She bowed deeply to Xiao Yimo and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Master. I will remember this."

As if sensing Tang Xinyan's emotions, Xiao Yimo chuckled, gesturing for her to come closer. He ruffled her hair and then got down to business:

"In two days, it will be time to set off for the secret realm. With your strength, you shouldn't face too much danger within it."

However, one must be wary of the treacherous nature of people, and since this is your first time going out, I have prepared some items for your self-defense.

Having said that, he took out several items and placed them on the table, pointing to each item and introducing them one by one:

"This jade pendant contains three sword energies from your master. In times of crisis, it can withstand three attacks from those below the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. Go back and refine it, then wear it on your person."

This bottle of pills contains top-grade recovery pills. As long as you have a breath left, taking one will allow you to recover quickly. Remember to store it separately; it can save your life in a critical moment.

This soft armor is a defensive magical artifact, capable of blocking three attacks from those below the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm. And this mask allows you to disguise yourself and alter your aura.

As for this storage bag, it contains various pills and talismans. Use them as needed, don't be stingy. Your master will prepare more for your next trip.

Tang Xinyan felt both touched and somewhat amused; it was just a Foundation Establishment stage secret realm, not to mention her cultivation level...

The life-saving items she possessed were more than enough for her needs. However, before Tang Xinyan could finish her exclamation, Xiao Yimo continued:

"Yan Yan, be careful when you're out and about. Don't talk to strangers or eat anything they give you."

If you encounter someone asking for help, or someone like last time, don't be overly kind and rush to their aid. Also…”

Listening to Xiao Yimo's rambling, Tang Xinyan couldn't help but chuckle. Even when attending important sect events, her aloof and indifferent master...

They might not exchange a single word all day, but at this moment, they act like a parent about to send their child to school, attending to every detail and fearing that they might have forgotten to give any instructions.

This feeling was both strange and familiar to Tang Xinyan. In her past life, when she left the mountains to go to school, her parents had given her the same advice.
