She opened her mouth to explain, but upon seeing Lu Yuanzhi’s rare shy expression, she ultimately decided not to reveal it.
She just smiled with her lips pursed, her eyebrows forming a crescent shape.
Afterwards, the Lu family sisters, under the guise of guidance, fussed over her with nurous reminders.
It wasn’t until the moon was high in the sky that they reluctantly let her go.
Returning to her residence, Lu Yaoyao imdiately began her covert preparations.
After all, she had been waiting for this day for five years.
In the following days, she deeply experienced a sense of loneliness.
In the vast Taiqing Sect, there was no one she could confide in.
As the fifth person among the younger generation to reach the Divinity Transformation, but Ghost Mastiff, Luo Lingling, and her father were all in the Imperial City, while Senior Brother Li Daoxuan was stationed at the Phecda Sect.
Other fellow disciples either revered and kept their distance from her or were stationed at various mining veins.
Even if they occasionally crossed paths, the vast difference in status ant there was nothing to say.
What worried her even more was that her master and others seed to be plotting sothing, with their target directly aid at the last remaining Cangyan Daoist Palace.
Moreover, she had to go to the Imperial City to find her father; now that Nannan had recovered, knowing her father’s disposition, he would certainly repay Sikong Yan’s favor.
So, she had to help, and she had yet to unravel many previous secrets and doubts, and needed to stay updated continually.
So matters might even trigger her mories, and suddenly recalling them might help her father avoid risks, right?
For instance, the Fifth-level Array Master’s legacy at Spirit Skull Mountain, and the mirror in the naless fra which she rembered her father ntioning was acquired in a black snowy mountain.
Of course, more importantly, she wanted to know what happened when her father stepped into Spirit Severing, what had caused him to beco like that, and why he was chased by many Demon Emperors.
Thus, half a month passed, and she had already thoroughly stabilized her Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation.
Moreover, all sorts of supplies for the journey and the routes were prepared.
Without a flying ship, even under favorable circumstances, reaching the Imperial City would still take four to five years.
And tonight, she had everything prepared and concealed the passage at the outhouse properly.
Her well-behaved deanor over the past half month had indeed worked; Master Lu and the others seed to have completely let their guard down.
"If I leave through the front gate, Elder Wuzhu will definitely harbor suspicion and report to my master. Senior Brother is stationed at the Phecda Sect. I can take the internal teleportation array there and start from there to reduce suspicion!"
Just as she was fully focused on planning the route, a wave of cold suddenly assaulted her from behind.
"You, you’ve made a breakthrough to Divinity Transformation?"
The cool voice made Lu Yaoyao tremble all over.
She spun around abruptly, and under the moonlight, two figures stood quietly at the door.
Shen Hanyi, clad in icy white attire, her silver hair cascading down to her waist, observed her silently with ice-blue eyes behind a veil.
Her whole being naturally emitted an aura that warned strangers to stay away.
Beside her, Shen Yunzhou maintained his carefree deanor, winking at her, still holding onto his Black Gold Shit Pusher.
"Sister Shen!" Lu Yaoyao exclaid in surprise, standing up. "Why did you two co?"
Lu Yaoyao never expected that Third Mother and Uncle would suddenly appear within the Taiqing Sect.
Shen Hanyi’s gaze, like an ice blade, swept over Lu Yaoyao, nodding slightly: "The Ice Purity Skills were well-practiced."
Just six words, yet they were a rare form of praise.
Lu Yaoyao hurriedly nodded. Last ti, Third Mother needed to take her father to Kunpeng Palace to assist, which was unrelated to her.
But, because she had encountered a misstep while cultivating the Ice Purity Skills and nearly succumbed to qi deviation, she was fortunate enough to accompany them.
Throughout the journey, although Third Mother spoke little, she helped her completely resolve the hidden dangers within the cultivation technique.
"Thanks to Sister Shen’s guidance, and the heart thod you gifted, I avoided many detours."
Lu Yaoyao spoke sincerely, her eyes full of gratitude.
Shen Hanyi nodded slightly, then abruptly changed the topic: "Where is Zhou? I didn’t sense him within the Taiqing Sect."
Her voice remained cool, but Lu Yaoyao keenly noticed a ripple in her ice-blue eyes.
"He’s not here, he went to the Imperial City five years ago!" Lu Yaoyao blinked, "Sister Shen, do you have business with him?"
Shen Hanyi waved her jade-like hand, and a layer of ice crystals enveloped the entire courtyard, isolating the inside from the outside.
Only then did she speak: "The Yan Family’s affair has implicated you."
Sparse words, yet they conveyed rare apology.
Shen Yunzhou shrank his neck and whispered, "I was the one who told my elder sister..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Hanyi’s icy eyes turned towards him.
His voice grew smaller, and he eventually bowed his head, silently mumbling sothing.
Lu Yaoyao quickly waved her hand, likewise lowering her voice: "It’s fine, it’s fine! All traces have been cleaned up, the Yan Family can’t trace it to us."
"Mm." Shen Hanyi nodded slightly, a flash of contemplation flickering in her ice-blue eyes. "I know, I listened to a senior’s advice before and didn’t co over recklessly to find you."
She paused briefly before continuing: "But the Yan Family has run into so issues, and they are temporarily overwheld, so I ca out this ti."
Lu Yaoyao looked delighted, just about to say sothing when Shen Hanyi preemptively asked: "Describe the situation that day in detail."
Her gaze was as fierce as a hawk, emphasizing, "Especially how their uncle and nephew fell in the palace."
Lu Yaoyao nodded obediently and narrated the prepared story agreed upon with her father.
She deliberately slowed her speaking pace, occasionally pausing to think, appearing particularly genuine.
After all, no one would believe that a Divinity Transformation realm cultivator and a Nascent Soul could defeat mid-stage and late-stage Spirit Severing experts.
