1453 Untold Secrets

bout to go upstairs and confront him, when he suddenly whispered, "I'm worried that the Dragon King will send people to Miao Wang City to block me. If they can't find me, they might attack my people.....I was startled and turned around to look at him.

He simply donned his suit jacket, rolling up the sleeves of his resting clothes to reveal them. Even in his gestures, he retained his air of nobility and confidence.

"Don't get up!" I hurriedly reached out to help him.

Lin Yanhuan suddenly "fell" toward me, I thought he was going to fall and instinctively reached out to brace him. I also unconsciously used my shoulder to "hold him up".

Unexpectedly, he suddenly froze mid-movement, his head hovering a few centimeters from my ear, his chest maintaining a "polite" distance.

He feebly raised his hand, making a gesture of an embrace that didn't touch.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine." Lin Yanhuan said faintly, "This experience needs time for me to adjust and sort out. The lower profile the better, don't cause too much speculation and rumors."

"I, I know, as long as you're okay... I'm fine here..." I didn't understand what he meant.

Lin Yan retreated half a step, creating a little distance between us. He lost his blood color, his thin lips twitched slightly, and he looked towards the next courtyard.

In just a moment, that mournful and haunting "song" vanished from my ears.

Even the wispy soul of smoke was guided by Jiang Qiyun, disappearing into the room's door. Cheng Banshen gradually gathered the formation, the ethereal light fading away.

I stood on the steps, watching as Jiang Qiyun strode towards me, holding the Soul Suppression Tower in his hand.

"I'm entrusting this little thing to you, but don't use it recklessly. Otherwise, you'll disrupt the balance of life and death, understand" He gently handed me the Soul Tower.

"Understood, understood... thank you, Your Majesty..." I let out a breath of relief inwardly. I was truly afraid Jiang Qiyun would destroy this pagoda.

Jiang Qiyun pulled me to his side, he looked at Lin Yanhuan with a faint gaze, his face pale.

Lin Yanhuan couldn't see him.

But at this time, Lin Yanhuan's face was solemn, her eyes like the sea. She calmly adjusted her sleeves and walked down the steps, brushing past Jiang Qiyun.

"...Thanks." he said heavily.

I don't know if it was thanking me or thanking Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun let out a light chuckle and stopped paying attention to Lin Yanhuan. He also forbade me from paying attention to him. He grasped my shoulder, pointed at Cheng Banxian, and said, “Did you promise to prepare what he needs”

"Huh I glanced at Cheng Banxian and jumped in fright!

"

My goodness, this is beyond just being weak from depleted cultivation. He seems completely drained, old and shrunken like a withered husk.

“I… I… Got it! I’ve got what you want!” I rushed to the corridor and picked up the fallen food container, holding it in front of Cheng Banxian: “Uh… it’s a bit scattered, I’m afraid I broke the pig blood…”

Cheng Banxian shot me a withering glance and mumbled, "… Trouble Little Lady prepare a room—"

"Ready, ready! Turn around this wall and there's a quiet room where you can rest! I won't let anyone near."

I knew he didn't want others to see his true self, and I had already made plans for him to rest there.

Cheng Banxian's steps were unsteady, and a dark shadow seemed to trail behind him. I swallowed hard, too afraid to ask.

Jiang Qiyun didn't say much either, after all, these immortal family secrets, or "heretical ways," were unspoken secrets. Even if you knew them, there was no need to investigate further.

"Mu Xiaqiao," Jiang Qiyun slightly turned his head to look at me, "After settling a major matter in your heart, shouldn't you honestly be your little lady"

"...I'm honest in my daily life too."

"Humph, stop thinking about other men."

"... "

The Celestial Emperor seems dissatisfied with my performance lately, sigh.

After scolding me for a few words, he suddenly smirked, and I got goosebumps: "What are you smiling at"

"...laugh~~~ coincidence~~~ all sorts of thoughts will eventually converge into one place~~~ hum hum..."

Uh Fate

》》》

Jiang Qiyun had no intention of revealing the celestial secrets. He seemed to have seen through some connections, but he couldn't tell anyone.

Lin Yanhuan woke up, causing another wave of undercurrents in the circle.

Some people who wanted to strike me and the Shen family down were left empty-handed, adding another layer of mystery to the Shen family.

The Shen family was once an ordinary prominent family. After I took over, because of my relationship with Jiang Qiyun, the Shen family developed some distance from other figures in the circle.

This led to many people superficially complimenting and cooperating, but secretly hoping to uncover the secrets of the Shen family, even hoping that the Shen family would collapse so they could profit from it.

When disciples went out to wander, they more or less felt the unusual "treatment," even Shen Qingru found it difficult to adapt to this strange way of interacting.

When the head butler of the Shen family assigned her tasks, she was too lazy to take them. She even said it was because I didn't allow her to cause trouble. In order to avoid causing trouble, she didn't want to go out and interact with people in the industry at all.

Many doubts and anxieties lingered, but after waking up from the haze of smoke, I was finally able to piece together the events in order.

Chen Yan, an unassuming female disciple from our family, was young but possessed outstanding talent. From a young age, she was raised as a child adept at the art of examining luminous orbs.

But she was rather introverted and insecure. She was bullied when interacting with others, and even when she discovered danger, she didn't know who to turn to for help.

That's why she went to the treasure vault herself, wanting to stop her uncle from entering.

"Master, back then in the Treasure Pavilion, it was pitch black everywhere, shrouded in mist. I couldn't see anything inside. I heard Mr. Zhou's pained groans and thought he was being held hostage. Just as I was about to cry for help, a foul wind suddenly blew up, making my eyes water…"

“Then I heard gunshots and froze in fear. Someone tackled me from behind. I… I didn’t know what was happening. My lips were cut, and something fell into my mouth…”

Chen Yan said, her eyes reddening as she spoke: "He pinned me down from behind. Something zipped past us quickly, cutting both of us. He was bleeding..."

This must be Lin Yanhuan, right

"That must have been a chaotic demon with the head of a human and the body of a serpent. I've seen it before. What scraped you was probably its scales," I whispered.

"Master, how is that Mr. Lin" Chen Yan asked.

I nodded. "Better than you, you're still bedridden. He's already flown off in a helicopter to attend to his duties."

Chen Yan let out a small sigh, whispering, "I always feel like there are some images in my mind that seem to be related to this Mr. Lin... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..."

"You two went through quite an ordeal, I'm glad everything is alright now."

"No, it's not… I think I had a dream, a very long one, and there was this Mr. Lin in it… but I can't remember…" Chenyan clenched her fist and pounded her head lightly.

I took her hand and comforted her, "Take good care of yourself. Matters of the esoteric are always enigmatic. Who knows, maybe one day you'll suddenly have an epiphany and remember everything"

Chen Yan nodded her head, clutching her blanket and whispering: "That... Master Head... there's one more thing..."

"What"

"I... I was knocked down in the Treasure Pavilion... My mouth hit something... And then, it seemed like... That thing got broken by me..." Chen Yan whispered.

I frowned. "Break it, break it. Everything in the Treasure Pavilion has been cleaned up. Important items haven't been lost, and it doesn't matter if the rest that aren't so important are damaged."

Except for the whereabouts of the missing Reincarnation Bead.

Her face turned pale with smoke, clutching the blanket to half her face, she whispered, “That… that… seems to have been crushed by me… it’s, it’s a… bead… a bead…”

"Huh!" I couldn't help but raise my voice, the Reincarnation Orb shattered

Then so many broken walls and ruins, all cleaned up, weren't the reincarnation beads all shattered into dust and swept away!

Shen Yan was frightened and quickly said, "At that time, I bumped into something, and my mouth got broken. I felt a mouthful of blood and gravel fragments, and I choked down two mouthfuls with blood... You say you can't find the wheel of reincarnation, maybe it was smashed by me..."

I stared at her blankly.

Thus, Shenyan and Lin Yanhuan's souls are lost... because of the Reincarnation Beadumbled: What the heck—He didn't say "What the heck," because there are quite a few little taboos during the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of which is mentioning ghosts."What are you guys doing Why are you...
