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

Having found the Sun and Moon Shuttle, Yun Yici and her group's journey became much more relaxed.

After consulting with Shen Huaichuan, Yun Yici decided to go to the Xie family with Xie Qianjue first.

We will proceed to the ruins of the Lingwei Sect after obtaining the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

The Xie family is an affiliated clan of the Nanhua Sect, and their clan territory is not far from the Nanhua Sect.

As a family that combines immortals and mortals, the Xie family is like most human cultivation families.

The clan chief distributed the clan's fields and industries to clan members who were unable to cultivate, allowing them to manage and live there.

Those clansmen with spiritual roots who are capable of cultivation, regardless of their talent, are trained by the clan and then recommended to study under a master at the Nanhua Sect.

Those clansmen who embark on the path of cultivation, those with high talent, will stay in the Nanhua Sect to continue their cultivation, and in the future, they will become powerful figures who will protect and support their families.

Those with low talent would only be outer disciples in the Nanhua Sect. When their cultivation could no longer progress, they would often return to their clans to enjoy offerings.

Because of their special status, the clan chief would assign them to some important positions within the clan.

The current head of the Xie family is Xie Shiqing's father and Xie Qianjue's uncle, making his position as head of the family extremely secure.

He is a Golden Core expert, and the brothers Xie Qianjue and Xie Shiqing have also joined the Nanhua Sect as personal disciples, their future is immeasurable.

Therefore, the Xie family can be considered the top among the affiliated clans of the Nanhua Sect.

The Yun family's previous attempt to send someone into the Nanhua Sect was inspired by the Xie family.

Yun Yici herself is not close to them at all, and they will not benefit from her influence in the future.

Why not send a clanswoman over? It would be a gesture of goodwill towards Yun Yici, and if she were lucky enough to be taken in by a peak master, they would have something else to rely on.

Unfortunately, despite their meticulous planning, the Yun family's attempt to flatter backfired spectacularly.

That said, when Yun Yici and her group arrived at the Xie family's residence, they were greeted by a thriving and harmonious scene.

The Xie family's main residence is a grand and imposing mansion with a magnificent gate and the two characters "Xie Mansion" on the plaque written in a vigorous and flowing style.

At this moment, the Xie family's gates were wide open, and Xie Shiqing was standing outside waiting.

Hearing that Yun Yici and Xie Qianjue would be returning home, he asked his master, Chu Chenxian, for leave and came back.

Upon seeing Yun Yici and Xie Qianjue, Xie Shiqing was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted them: "Senior Sister Yun, Brother."

"My parents are waiting for you in the main hall."

Yun Yici and the other two followed Xie Shiqing to the main hall of the Xie family. The main hall was furnished in a low-key and simple style.

The Xie family patriarch and his wife were kind and gentle. After exchanging greetings and simple pleasantries, they asked Xie Qianjue to take Yun Yici and the other person to the Xie family ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was originally not open to outsiders; only the clan head could enter it at the end of each year's sacrificial ceremony.

I don't know what Xie Qianjue said that led to this exception.

A high threshold has been built at the entrance of the ancestral hall, which must be stepped over.

After Yun Yici and Di Zhao entered, the ever-burning lamps on the wall dispelled the eerie atmosphere in the ancestral hall.

The first thing you see are ancient wooden tablets with inscriptions arranged in order, with a golden statue of a deity at the very top, its eyes lowered in compassion, and a flower blooming between its brows.

Xie Qianjue did not take down the statue directly. Instead, he washed his hands, took three sticks of incense from the altar, lit them, and devoutly worshipped them before inserting them into the incense burner.

After doing all this, he used his spiritual power to take down the statue and hand it to Yun Yici.

The statue was heavy and not hollow.

Yun Yici's spiritual power materialized and gathered at his fingertips, then he drew a line through the center of the statue.

The statue was broken open, and a warm light shone from the solidified gold.

Xie Qianjue and the imperial edict both looked over at the same time.

Xie Qianjue's lingering hope vanished completely: "There really is something inside this statue..."

Yun Yici, in one fell swoop, dug out the object hidden deep inside the statue.

The hidden artifact inside has pointed ends and a hollow belly, with pavilions and elegant terraces on top. It is because of this special shape that it was buried in the broad back of the statue.

Yun Yici turned the treasure she had dug out over to see what it truly looked like.

This is a small boat, no bigger than the palm of your hand, as bright as the moonlight, with exquisite carvings on its hull.

The emperor, being knowledgeable and experienced, praised it, saying, "This thing is extraordinary; it should be of a celestial rank or higher."

Yun Yici carefully examined the surface and discovered that there were words engraved on the stern of the small boat.

She looked closely and discovered that the character "谢" (xie, meaning thank you) was engraved at the end.

This must be the Sun and Moon Shuttle that Master Yi mentioned.

This item can only be used by members of the Xie family. Yun Yici handed the Sun and Moon Shuttle to Xie Qianjue: "Senior Brother Xie."

Xie Qianjue did not take it. He lowered his eyes and said, "I cannot keep this even if I take it. On the contrary, it will only bring trouble."

"Please keep this for me, Junior Sister."

"I will not refuse when my junior sister needs my help."

"There is one more thing. I would like to accompany you to the Lingwei Sect to pay my respects to your sect's elders."

Yun Yici paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay."

Shen Huaichuan has found the old site of the Lingwei Sect.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the sudden disappearance of the Lingwei Sect, not many cultivators dared to approach the area easily.

There are only a few towns in the vicinity inhabited by ordinary people.

The Lingwei Sect's main body is within the Lingwei Seal, and with the cloud ladder serving as a barrier, returning to its original location will not affect the residents living nearby.

Yun Yici was in a hurry to go back and release the Lingwei Sect, so she didn't plan to use the spirit bird to fly slowly anymore.

After bidding farewell to the elders of the Xie family and Xie Shiqing, she found a secluded spot, activated the teleportation array, and took Di Zhao and Xie Qianjue directly to meet up with Shen Huaichuan and the others.

Xie Qianjue was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

They were clearly still at the Xie family's house, but in the blink of an eye, they were in a foreign land thousands of miles away.

Only large cities possess teleportation arrays capable of transporting people such long distances, and each use requires a significant amount of spiritual energy.

But Junior Sister Yun used it so easily?

Xie Qianjue had a vague feeling that Junior Sister Yun's methods were extraordinary, and perhaps without him realizing it, he had already been left far behind.

Xie Qianjue is not one to wallow in self-pity.

He rallied himself and bowed to Shen Huaichuan and the others, saying, "Junior Xie Qianjue greets all seniors."

Xie Qianjue had met Shen Huaichuan.

When Wen Fuyue and his disciples settled in Yinxian City, he invited Yun Yi to go and search for the Nascent Soul Fruit.

At that time, Shen Huaichuan was known to outsiders as Shen Xiu. He was a blind mortal with no spiritual power, but he was kind and generous to others.

But now, Shen Huaichuan's mere casual glance was enough to give him a chilling, suffocating feeling.

Thinking of his ancestors' entanglement with the Lingwei Sect, Xie Qianjue lowered his eyes. He had a rough idea of ​​the other party's true identity.

What I thought was impossible now seems to be possible after I inexplicably gained a relative from another region.

Shen Huaichuan glanced at Xie Qianjue before finally speaking, "Young friend Xie."

Shen Huaichuan knew that even if it wasn't the Xie family, there would be someone else who would act as the "key" to the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

Xie Qianjue was exceptionally lucky, becoming one in ten thousand gifted individuals.
