"Azhen, what’s wrong?" Jiang Yue asked with a concerned look on his face.
Hearing the question, Yu Nianzhen didn’t answer.
Instead, he handed over his communication jade and allowed Jiang Yue to read the ssage.
Less than a breath later, Jiang Yue was as pale as his lover.
"This...., what’s going on? How can sothing like this happen?"
"I don’t know." Yu Nianzhen said and sighed.
"XiaoYue, I want to go back to the Cangxing mountain."
"Okay, I will go back with you." Jiang Yue imdiately said and then continued.
"Fellow Daoist Wei and fellow Daoist Murong are reliable and we can rest assured leaving everything to them."
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
Other than Jiang Yue, his master, and sworn brothers, Yu Nianzhen was most assured of Wei Ge and ng Zihua.
Since the group was relatively close to the Burial Province, Yu Nianzhen wasn’t too worried that Wei Ge couldn’t handle the matter.
After deciding, the two didn’t waste ti.
They imdiately spoke to Wei Ge and the rest before teleporting to the mountain master’s cave on the Cangxing mountain.
"Without the golden teleportation talisman, it would have taken a long ti to return to the Cangxing mountain." Jiang Yue said as soon as the two appeared in the cave.
"It’s a good thing that before we left the mountain, we rembered to designate your cave as a teleportation point."
"Let’s find master." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said.
"Okay." Jiang Yue nodded and held his lover’s hand.
Soon after, the two left the cave and walked a few tres to Yang Xu’s cave.
When they arrived outside the cave, they didn’t enter but instead stood just beyond the defensive formation.
"Master, XiaoYue and I have co to visit." Yu Nianzhen said.
Inside the cave, Yang Xu heard the voice and sighed.
A mont later, his lips curled in a self-mocking smile and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
If he could, he didn’t want to see Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue.
However, one was his beloved disciple and the other was just as good as a disciple.
No matter what, Yang Xu couldn’t ignore them.
"Co in." He said in a weak voice.
At the sa ti, the defensive formation opened and the two entered the cave.
When the two entered the cave, they saw Yang Xu lying on a jade cultivation bed.
At a glance, the man looked as usual and even had a smile on his face.
However, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue knew that the person’s peppy appearance was a façade.
"Master, I have so Tree of Life leaves. You can use them to heal." Yu Nianzhen said while offering an herb-preserving jade container.
"Thank you." Yang Xu said and took the box.
’I, Yang Xu, have no luck with other things but I t a good and filial disciple.’ He thought and sighed.
"There is no need for thanks between us." Yu Nianzhen said and shook his head.
In his and Jiang Yue’s heart, Yang Xu was a relative.
As such, helping each other was a matter of course and there was no need to stand on ceremony.
"Master, what’s going on? Why did the mistress suddenly break the taoist contract?" Jiang Yue asked.
Hearing this, Yang Xu flinched but told everything he knew.
Since they arrived in the Reincarnation world, Yang Xu felt his wife had beco strange.
Once in a while, she would fall into a daze and be unable to extricate herself.
At other tis, she would look at Yang Xu with barely concealed hatred in her eyes.
When he first saw the strangeness, Yang Xu was confused.
He thought he had done sothing wrong to her so he tried to talk to her.
Unfortunately, talking was useless.
When he asked, Bing Lan assured him there was nothing wrong.
Although Yang Xu was uneasy, he didn’t push for an imdiate answer.
Instead, he chose to wait for his wife to talk to him.
However, he never waited for her to talk to him but waited for her sudden cancellation of their Taoist contract.
When Bing Lan broke their contract, Yang Xu was in retreat.
Because of the sudden shock, his cultivation went wrong and Yang Xu was injured.
Fortunately, he still had so remnant Tree of Leaves which helped him manage the injury.
If not for the Tree of Life leaves, Yang Xu would have broken his origin and lost his cultivation.
Listening to the explanation, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were equally confused and angry.
From what they heard; it was clear that Bing Lan truly hated Yang Xu.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to break the Taoist contract when Yang Xu was in retreat.
However, her motive was still unclear.
"Master, do you know why?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Not exactly." Yang Xu said and then continued.
"It seems to have sothing to do with our past life but she didn’t clarify."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen looked at each other.
As transmigrators, they understood the impact of having past life mories.
Fortunately, they loved each other and saw the new life as a way to make up for their past regrets.
"Master, where is fellow Daoist Bing?" Yu Nianzhen asked and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
During the Ice Palace Martial contest, Yu Nianzhen did his best to help his master marry Bing Lan.
Unexpectedly, only a thousand years later, the woman turned around and hard his master.
"Yes, master. Where is she?" Jiang Yue asked through gritted teeth.
"She has left the mountain." Yang Xu answered with a helpless look in his eyes.
At first, Yang Xu thought his wife had encountered an accident and suddenly died.
However, when he properly felt the contract, he realised that Bing Lan was still alive but had broken the contract.
At that ti, Yang Xu was confused but mostly worried.
He wondered if she had encountered a desperate situation and chose to break the contract to protect him.
Unfortunately, everything was his wishful thinking.
When Yang Xu left retreat and prepared to find his wife, he found out even more incomprehensible information.
Apparently, not only had Bing Lan broken the taoist contract, but she also planned to betray the Cangxing mountain.
"She wants to defect to another world." Yang Xu said.
"Which world?" Yu Nianzhen asked but Yang Xu didn’t know.
The man shook his head and sighed.
Before she left the mountain, Bing Lan spoke to Liu Sen and told him to inform the mountain master.
After all, cultivators couldn’t abandon their world arbitrarily.
When the ti ca, the mountain masters of her new and old worlds would have to agree on a price.
Only after the price was paid could Bing Lan successfully defect from the Cangxing world.
"Sothing is strange." Jiang Yue said with a frown on his face.
"I also think so." Yang Xu agreed.
Yu Nianzhen was the Cangxing mountain master but he was also Yang Xu’s disciple.
After spending so many years together, Bing Lan knew that the master and disciple had a very good relationship.
In that case, why did she do so many excessive things?
Wasn’t she worried that Yu Nianzhen would make things difficult for her and hinder her defection?
"Master, why do you assu that everything has to do with your past life?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"I am not assuming anything." Yang Xu said and handed over his communication jade.
After reading the ssage, Yu Nianzhen passed the jade to Jiang Yue.
"Sins of the past life..." Jiang Yue muttered.
"She sent it to after leaving the mountain." Yang Xu said.
"At the mont, everything is unclear. Let’s find Brother Li and see if he knows anything about this." Yu Nianzhen suggested.
"Azhen, brother Li is still in retreat."
"No, he has left seclusion."
"Just in ti." Jiang Yue said with a smile in his eyes.
For so reason, he suspected the timing wasn’t coincidental.
"The timing is a little too coincidental." Yu Nianzhen agreed and then turned to his master.
"Master, you are injured and need so ti to recover. Leave this matter to and XiaoYue."
"No, I can’t." Yang Xu said and shook his head.
Although he was injured and indeed needed ti to recover, he couldn’t be a hands-off shopkeeper.
After all, the involved person was his wife.
No matter what, Yang Xu needed an answer.
Only after he had an answer could he calm down to retreat in peace.
Otherwise, the matter would beco a demon in his heart.
"Master, Azhen and I won’t do anything without telling you. For now, please heal your injuries. After we investigate, we will tell you everything." Jiang Yue said.
"Master, your injuries are not light. Please retreat for the ti being." Yu Nianzhen also implored.
"Okay but you have to let know as soon as you find sothing."
"We promise." The two said and promptly left the cave.
After they left the cave, Yu Nianzhen frowned and his expression turned more solemn.
"Azhen, what’s wrong?" Jiang Yue asked.
"XiaoYue, does my master look heartbroken?"
