After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

Luo Hongyan nodded and said in a heavy tone, "We have already sent disciples to investigate, but we have not found any record of Ruoxi leaving the sect. The sect is still searching everywhere, but so far we have not found any useful clues."

Feng Jiuge paced anxiously to the side, and couldn't help but say, "How can a living person just disappear for no reason? This is too strange!"

Ye Fan, who had been silent all along, suddenly thought of a possibility. He looked at Luo Hongyan and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Master, I think this matter may not be so simple."

Luo Hongyan looked at Ye Fan in surprise and asked in confusion, "Xiao Fan, what do you mean by that?"

Ye Fan continued, "Master, don't you think the timing of Fourth Senior Sister's disappearance is too suspicious? It happened right after Qin Yichen left the sect."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiuge stopped in her tracks and solemnly agreed, "Yes, Junior Brother is right. It all seems too coincidental."

Luo Hongyan pondered for a moment, her eyes flashing with thoughtful light, and slowly said, "You mean... Ruoxi's disappearance might be related to Qin Yichen?"

Yan Ruyu calmly analyzed, "Most likely, Fourth Junior Sister colluded with Junior Brother to slander Qin Yichen for harming fellow disciples and cultivating demonic arts, which inevitably made him resentful, so he had this motive."

She paused, then continued, "Moreover, Qin Yichen now has powerful figures from the Great Qin Empire by his side, and they also have the ability to infiltrate the sect and kidnap Fourth Junior Sister."

Luo Hongyan frowned deeply, her eyes revealing deep worry. "If that's the case, then Ruoxi's current situation is probably not good."

Feng Jiuge clenched her fists tightly, her face showing anger and anxiety. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it! If that's really the case, then we must find Ruoxi as soon as possible and we absolutely cannot let her get hurt!"

Luo Hongyan's face grew increasingly gloomy. She clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with worry for Ruoxi's safety.

Leng Qingge suddenly suggested, "Master, I have an idea. We can split into two groups. One group can continue to search for Fourth Junior Sister's whereabouts, while the other group can search for Qin Yichen's whereabouts."

"Alright!"

Luo Hongyan nodded slightly in agreement, but still said with some concern, "However, Qin Yichen's temperament has changed drastically. I'm afraid he might harbor thoughts of revenge against the Jade Purity Sect. We need to carefully consider our options regarding finding him..."

Feng Jiuge, however, said dismissively, "Master, you're being too cautious. If we, your fellow disciples, were to go find Qin Yichen ourselves, would we be afraid he'd go completely mad?"

She probably forgot that she had framed Qin Yichen when she said that.

Luo Hongyan thought her words made sense, so she nodded in agreement, "Alright, you and Qingge will go find Qin Yichen. If he hasn't caused any major disaster yet, I can forgive him for what he did!"

Leng Qingge and Feng Jiuge clasped their hands in acceptance of the order and quickly turned to leave.

Luo Hongyan watched their retreating figures, her brows furrowed, feeling a sense of being out of control.

……

"What? Qin Yichen has betrayed the sect?"

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding within the Holy Maiden Hall of the Hehuan Sect.

The woman, who had been languidly reclining on the fragrant couch, suddenly shuddered upon hearing the news, sitting up abruptly with a look of astonishment and disbelief on her face.

Her silky long hair swayed gently with her movements, exuding a faint fragrance.

Those beautiful and lively eyes were wide open at that moment, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

Her cherry-like lips were slightly parted, delicate and alluring, but she couldn't speak for a moment, as if an invisible force was choking her.

In that instant, the entire Saintess Temple fell into a deathly silence, with only the woman's breathing sounding exceptionally clear.

She frowned deeply, pondering the possible reasons behind it.

After a moment, the woman took a deep breath and finally asked, "How could he betray his sect?"

His voice carried a hint of doubt and confusion.

Upon hearing this, the maidservant immediately replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, according to intelligence, Qin Yichen was framed by his junior brother and senior sister, causing him to suffer an injustice. However, he eventually managed to prove his innocence. Unexpectedly, the sect leader of the Jade Purity Sect sided with the instigator, which made Qin Yichen very dissatisfied."

As soon as she finished speaking, the vixen-like woman showed a look of shock.

She could hardly believe that such a thing could happen in the Jade Purity Sect, which prides itself on being a prestigious and righteous sect.

"Hehe, the Jade Purity Sect rose to prominence because of Qin Yichen, but now they're discarding him after he's served his purpose. They're truly blind!"

The vixen-like woman curled her lips into a disdainful smile, a hint of coldness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Spread the word: The Joyful Union Sect welcomes Qin Yichen. The position of Holy Son of the Joyful Union Sect awaits him!"

The maid paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Holy Maiden, shouldn't we discuss this with the Sect Master first? After all, Qin Yichen was once a disciple of the Jade Purity Sect, and doing so might cause conflict between the two sects."

The alluring woman gently shook her head, her eyes gleaming with confidence. "Don't worry, I believe my master won't object to my decision. A genius like Qin Yichen would definitely bring immense benefits if he joined our Hehuan Sect. Moreover, with his talent and strength, becoming the sect leader in the future would be a piece of cake."

She smiled slightly and continued, "We've taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, and I believe Qin Yichen will consider it carefully. Offering help in times of need is much better than adding to someone's already good fortune."

The maid nodded. Although she was still a little worried, seeing the saintess's firm attitude, she said nothing more.

“Alright then, I’ll go and relay your orders. But…”

The maid paused, glanced cautiously at the alluring woman, and whispered, "Holy Maiden, are you really planning to give your position to Qin Yichen?"

Since its founding, the Hehuan Sect has only ever had one Holy Maiden or Holy Son; the two cannot coexist.

If there is a saintly woman, there will be no more saintly children; if there is a saintly child, there will be no more saintly women.

"Of course!"

The alluring woman smiled, a sly glint in her eyes. "Before, Qin Yichen, as the Holy Son of the Jade Purity Sect, always overshadowed me, the Holy Daughter of the Joyful Union Sect. If he were to become the Holy Son of the Joyful Union Sect, I might just be able to overshadow him. At that time..."

The maid suddenly realized that the Holy Maiden had another purpose.

"Your Majesty is wise. This servant will make the arrangements immediately."

After saying that, she turned and left to carry out the instructions of the seductive woman.

The vixen-like woman watched the maid's departing figure, a smug smile creeping onto her lips.

"Hmph, if the Jade Purity Sect doesn't know its value, then don't blame me for taking your treasures away."

She muttered to herself, a greedy glint in her eyes.

However, her idea was destined to fail.

This is because Qin Yichen's identity as the Prince of Qin was kept completely hidden by the Yuqing Sect.

If she knew Qin Yichen's identity as the Prince of Qin, she would probably spare no effort to win him over.
