Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Hearing Ji Yuezhang's words, Gu Lang knew she was willing to believe Zhu Wuyao, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized something—

"I came from south to north."

He was about to sit down next to the stool when he sprang up and said:

"You...you...from south to north?"

Ji Yuezhang nodded and said:

"It was I who ruined her reputation."

If it weren't for saving her, Zhu Wuyao wouldn't have had to tarnish her reputation; she could have remained a chivalrous figure in the eyes of the world, upholding justice with her sword.

Why is it that when people mention "Master Wuyan," the first thing that comes to mind is not her good deeds along the way, but her blood-stained hands?

Before Ji Yuezhang fell into a deep sleep, he saw a scene of widespread devastation.

When I woke up, I was greeted by another massacre.

The matter of the Queshan clan has gradually spread, and even the news that Daoist Wuyan is Zhu Wuyao of Zhaixinglou is slowly spreading.

Moreover, A Yao had also incurred the enmity of the Ju Que Sect.

Ji Yuezhang was very worried about her.

Gu Lang calmed down, sorted out the sequence of events in his mind, and then sighed with regret:

"If it were just a matter concerning the Queshan clan, it would be fine. Since she was trying to save people, she could always make a clear judgment. But the Queshan clan itself is not without fault either."

"But unfortunately, we also offended the Juque Sect."

"With these two things combined, even those who have never heard of the 'Silent Taoist Master' would inevitably have a preconceived notion that Miss Zhu is a ruthless killer."

This was also what Ji Yuezhang was worried about.

If someone with ulterior motives were to fan the flames and label A Yao as a heretic, and then further embellish the story, the situation might not be so optimistic.

Do you know how A-Yao is doing lately?

Gu Lang shook his head, saw the storybook in Ji Yuezhang's hand, and said:

"The storybook in your hand is Miss Zhu's new work, written under the pseudonym 'Doraemon.' Before heading south, she handed over all her manuscripts to Ink Trace Bookstore, and then we heard nothing more from her."

Upon hearing that the book in his hand was A Yao's new work, Ji Yuezhang lightly stroked the cover with his fingertips.

Hearing that Gu Lang had also not heard from Zhu Wuyao, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. A shadow fell over her eyelashes as she looked at the book "The Fake Heiress" in her hand.

Where will she go...?

Gu Lang called for more tea and mentioned that Zhu Wuyao had been missing for several years and no one knew where he was now.

He was a traveling merchant who often went to various places to inspect the changes. He was well aware of the changes in various places and recounted the changes in recent years to Ji Yuezhang as he read the storybook.

I recounted some trivial matters in the hopes of comforting Ji Yuezhang.

The copy of "The Fake Heiress" in her hand was the final volume, bound in its entirety.

As mentioned earlier—

Shi Huai and Shi Jin travel the world together, and their interactions, including the chase and the escape, are full of laughs.

Along the way, Shi Huai used the Beast Taming System to not only exchange for cultivation techniques and pills for himself, but also to awaken the bloodlines of Emperor Yingwu and Zhigang.

One is a phoenix, and the other is a white tiger.

Its true form is exceptionally powerful.

She could not only tame beasts, but also people. Shi Jin was completely subdued in her hands. There was some genuine affection involved, but Shi Jin was mostly doing it out of expediency and necessity.

The Shi family did not have a moment of peace.

He also sent a letter to Shi Jin along the way, promising him great benefits. The letter contained the following:

"Shi Huai is not a member of the main family after all. We don't know what kind of opportunity she obtained. If you are willing to trick her back, the Shi family will give you her spiritual root in return."

"At that time, everything she has will be yours."

The reason the Shi family had such a plan was because Shi Huai was no longer obedient and was showing signs of breaking away from the family.

Wouldn't it be more advantageous to share her opportunity with the rest of the Shi family?

Therefore, they set their sights on Shi Jin.

Once Shi Huai is tricked back, and everyone gathers their strength to surround and capture her, how they divide the spoils will be out of Shi Jin's hands.

Those who read this far held their breath!

Everyone knew the Shi family's scheme, and that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

But Shi Jin in the book doesn't know that if she makes a mistake, Huai might actually capsize in the gutter!

Surprisingly, after receiving the letter, Shi Jin dismissed it with disdain and said to Shi Huai:

"The Shi family is plotting against you. They burned the letter after reading it, and I have no evidence. Believe it if you want, and I won't stop you if you want to go back."

"But don't take me with you, I'm not going back to the Shi family."

Shi Huai retained memories of her past life, so she naturally knew that what Shi Jin said was true. However, this time, the person the Shi family abandoned was her.

As for why Shi Jin wasn't provoked.

It's because she's not stupid.

Everyone in the Shi family compared her to Shi Huai, and she had to fight for even the smallest resources. Furthermore, Steward Song kept instigating and fueling her resentment. Shi Jin was exhausted, but her strength made little progress.

It is often said that family is a protective shield.

But after leaving the Shi family, Shi Jin realized that it wasn't raining at all outside!

In the Shi family, she was just an unpopular junior, caught up in trivial matters. She was always scheming, plotting, and using underhanded methods, but all she got were scraps and she lost her true self.

Even though Shi Huai's brilliance shone in the outside world, she could still be known as "Hero Shi" and "Fellow Daoist Shi," with a few close friends by her side, enjoying a carefree life.

So Shi Jin decided to walk outwards, keep walking outwards, towards the wider road.

She will never look back.

I will never return to that lifeless grave.

The vastness of the world is enough to accommodate two people, creating an infinitely beautiful scene.

Shi Huai was unaware of her thoughts; she simply said:

You won't regret your choice today.

In the end, the Shi family still took action against the two, but at the critical moment, a beast tide attacked and flattened the Shi family.

The object that once caused the two to fight openly and secretly, the object that caused the two to perish together in their previous life, is now written on a blank sheet of paper, ending with just a few lines of text.

None of them received the position of head of the family.

They can get more.

Close the storybook.

Ji Yuezhang said, "I know where she went. In Dongji City, A Yao still has an unresolved old matter."

She was unaware of the power struggles within the Star-Picking Tower, but the information gathered by the Ji family mentioned Zhu Wuyao's background.

Upon hearing the name "Shi Family" from this storybook, Ji Yuezhang immediately thought of the "Zhu Family".

Although Zhu Wuyao's story did not allude to the Zhu family, Ji Yuezhang still guessed it by chance.

Gu Lang snapped his folding fan shut and said:

"Very likely!"

"I suddenly remembered!"

He remembered a storybook in Dongji City where someone always sent letters to scold Xiao Dingdang. With this in mind, he wondered if it was really a sore spot for the Zhu family.

Even if it wasn't the Zhu family, if someone thought that way, the Zhu family might think the same way, and Zhu Wuyao might go back to settle the score.

Gu Lang asked:

"Miss Ji, are you going to Dongji City to look for someone? I'll go with you!"

To his surprise, Ji Yuezhang shook his head and said:

"If you have some free time, could you please go and look for her for me?"

"how about you?"

Ji Yuezhang stood up. If Zhu Wuyao were in Dongji City, there might be another uproar. If her identity wasn't exposed, all the past events would weigh on her.

She walked to the entrance of the Ink Trace Bookstore and said:

"From this day forward, I shall be the Silent Daoist."

If his identity is exposed one day, Zhu Wuyao, who is far away in Dongji City, will certainly not be the Daoist Wuyan who is in the West.

If her identity had not been exposed, A Yao's reputation would have been ruined because of her, and naturally, she would be the one to salvage it.

Seeing the suffering of all beings, he remained silent.

As one of all living beings, it has no form.

I only hope that she will be blessed with a good reputation, and that all her actions will be exemplary.

All beings are made whole, and Heaven and Earth grant their request.
