The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

After pondering for a while, Yun Yici concealed the system and the rewards it had given him, and only recounted the whole story of how she met Shen Huaichuan in her dream and received his instruction.

As for why Shen Huaichuan was willing to teach her, she quoted Shen Huaichuan himself.

After she finished speaking, she felt uneasy, worried that Shen Fengzhi would realize that Shen Huaichuan was forced to teach her.

Yun Yici honestly replied, "I don't know where Senior Shen is now. I asked him before, but he didn't tell me."

In fact, she had thought that perhaps the day when Shen Huaichuan in her dreams disappeared would be the day he regained his freedom.

However, when they first started teaching, their agreement only included the vague phrase "to complete the course," without any specific conditions.

She has long surpassed the strength she displayed during her initial training trials upon entering the sect.

But Shen Huaichuan still exists in her dreams.

Yun Yici was very worried that Shen Huaichuan would be trapped in her dream by the system and eventually lose patience and turn against her.

Shen Fengzhi seemed to know everything.

She said, "I understand. Don't worry. This is fate between the two of you, and also fate between you and my Lingwei Sect."

“I already know where Shen Huaichuan is now. Your appearance is an opportunity for him to break free from his predicament. Since the two of you have already made an appointment, you should learn from him.”

Shen Fengzhi was very magnanimous. Yun Yici saw that she had gained the recognition of the Lingwei Sect Leader, so it could be considered that she had stolen the knowledge. Therefore, she happily said, "Thank you, Sect Leader Shen."

Huai Chuan stayed quietly by Yun Yi Ci's side, listening intently. He had always firmly believed that there was some kind of connection between Yun Yi Ci and Shen Huai Chuan, but he never expected that the truth was like this.

After Shen Huaichuan's final ascension tribulation failed, his connection with Shen Huaichuan was completely severed, and he always thought that the other had perished.

Huai Chuan wanted to ask Shen Fengzhi about Shen Huai Chuan's whereabouts, but he was afraid that Yun Yici would mind.

His sword trembled, unknowingly revealing his hesitation.

In fact, not only Huai Chuan, but Yun Yi Ci was also curious about where Shen Huai Chuan was.

She pressed on, "Sect Leader Shen, do you know where Senior Shen is?"

Shen Feng knew: "He probably guessed it, but he didn't tell you probably to protect you, so I couldn't go against his wishes."

"Since everyone believes that Shen Huaichuan has ascended to heaven, then you should also consider him to have ascended to heaven."

Shen Fengzhi was also helpless.

She knew perfectly well that Shen Huaichuan was trapped in Xuanling Prison, but what could she do about it?

The Lingwei Sect is not what it used to be. She is just a spirit of the dead. They cannot even leave the Rakshasa Illusion Sea and cannot help Shen Huaichuan at all.

Yun Yici, whose cultivation level was still shallow, told her that Shen Huaichuan would only harm her in the Xuanling Prison.

Having inherited the legacy of their Lingwei Sect, Yun Yici should now bide his time and cultivate diligently.

Seeing that Shen Fengzhi had no intention of revealing Shen Huaichuan's whereabouts, Yun Yici decided not to press the matter further.

However, she immediately thought of Mu Yunjian and Ning Tinglan, who were still on the cloud ladder.

She and Shen Fengzhi sat chatting for a long time but didn't see the two of them.

Yun Yici said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sect Leader Shen, two of my senior brothers are still on the Cloud Ladder..."

Shen Fengzhi laughed and said, "One of your senior brothers made a bet with Jiuying, and after spouting wild words, he turned around and was blinded by hatred. The other senior brother recklessly took on the karma of others, a huge burden. How could they possibly get up there?"

Before Yun Yici could say anything more, she pointed her hand at the air opposite the two of them, and the figures of Ning Tinglan and the other appeared in the clouds.

Yun Yici could only see Mu Yunjian with his head down, his expression unreadable, as Ning Tinglan half-carried him forward.

Ning Tinglan was fast, but the spirit sword beside him was extremely anxious but dared not intervene.

Yun Yici, who had just climbed up the cloud ladder, immediately recognized that Ning Tinglan was carrying Mu Yunjian down the mountain!

Yun Yici thought to himself that Ning Tinglan should be able to tell which way to go. Could it be that he originally wanted to go down the mountain, so the cloud ladder turned his path into a way down the mountain?

Shen Fengzhi looked at the two people in the picture and said, "Your second senior brother is easily led astray without guidance. Your third senior brother is a promising talent, but it is a pity that he is confused all his life and tries to take on the karma of others, which has ruined him instead."

Yun Yici felt a chill run down her spine as she recalled that the fates of the two characters in the story were exactly as Shen Fengzhi had described.

Before Yun Yici could plead for mercy, Shen Fengzhi said again, "For your sake, I can give them another chance."

A flash of inspiration appeared at her fingertips, and the light flew into the frame.

Ning Tinglan saw a white glimmer of light fly out from somewhere and land between her eyebrows in the twilight clouds, then quickly melt away.

The next moment, Mu Yunjian, who was half-asleep on his shoulder, slowly woke up.

Ning Tinglan immediately pushed Mu Yunjian away, fearing that she would be stabbed by Mu Yunjian before she could react.

Mu Yunjian was sobered up by his actions and took several steps back to steady herself.

Upon recognizing Ning Tinglan, he demanded, "What are you doing?"

Ning Tinglan saw that he seemed to have regained his rationality and had no intention of attacking.

He asked suspiciously, "Are you awake?"

Mu Yunjian said, "I... wait, where am I?"

As the memories of Mu Yunjian returned, he belatedly realized that his mind had been controlled by hatred.

He let out a long breath and awkwardly said to Ning Tinglan, "Thank you."

Seeing that he was awake, Ning Tinglan said, "There's something strange about this cloud ladder. I've been leading you for a long time and we still can't see the end of it."

Looking at the direction the two were heading, and then back at the path they had come from, Mu Yunjian couldn't help but say, "What's so strange about that? You're going the wrong way."

Ning Tinglan paced back and forth in astonishment, saying, "That's not right. There are no forks in this ladder; it's a straight path leading to the end. I've been walking forward the whole time, so there's no way I could have gone the wrong way."

Those things happened when Mu Yunjian was unconscious.

Ning Tinglan was completely unaware, and Mu Yunjian was even more unable to explain it.

Mu Yun noticed the spirit swords surrounding the two of them and asked, "By the way, what's with these swords?"

Ning Tinglan said with embarrassment, "These spirit swords should have belonged to the cultivators of the Lingwei Sect in the past."

He recalled that these spirit swords had stopped him when he carried Mu Yunjian on his back.

Having confirmed they were on the right track, Mu Yunjian said, "Let's go."

Ning Tinglan followed behind him, always on guard against Mu Yunjian suddenly launching another attack.

Mu Yunjian seemed to sense the gaze behind him and said casually, "I know what this cloud ladder is all about. When I was climbing the cloud ladder, I was provoked by that great demon outside."

"When emotions run high, it's easy to think of some unpleasant things, and this ladder brings those thoughts to life."

"You brought me along, perhaps because you're considering giving up, so the road up the mountain has become the road down the mountain."

Ning Tinglan said, "I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to explain to my junior sister and master if I left you behind."

"Whether it's going up or down, I can't just leave you alone halfway."
