The Wheel-Turning Master.

With no sadness or joy, no good or bad, Lin Bai just waited quietly.

Half an hour later, Yue Pingye finally came back.

"Follow me." Yue Pingye's face was cold, as if he owed her 20,000 spirit stones.

After leaving the guest house, Yue Pingye led the way and Lin Bai followed, neither of them said a word.

It was late at night, but there were many monks coming and going. Some who saw the two of them came forward to greet them.

When we arrived at Qiu Shui Lake, we saw a small boat, and the person on it was Qiu Yucan.

When Qiu Yucan saw that Yue Pingye actually came with Lin Bai, a look of suspicion flashed across her face, but she quickly smiled again and didn't ask any more questions.

Traveling by boat at night, breaking through the moonlight, we arrived at the island in the middle of Qiu Shui Lake.

Abandoning the boat and going ashore, Qiu Yucan was in front, and Yue Pingye and Lin Bai followed behind.

There are pavilions and towers here, and the grass is lush and green.

Not long after walking forward, we saw a small pond with green lotus leaves, but the lotus flowers were closed.

"This is the Seven-Hearted White Lotus, a specialty of my family. It is called Yingri Suhe outside." Qiu Yucan saw Lin Bai looking at it a few more times and introduced it with a smile.

"Can I have one?" Lin Bai threw away his pride and asked for it.

Qiu Yucan had seen shameless people before, so he smiled and said, "When it's ripe, I'll give you one."

This is a polite statement.

Yue Pingye became increasingly dissatisfied with Lin Bai, and only looked at Qiu Yucan, urging him, “The ancestor wants to see him, don’t delay.”

"I wonder why Senior Yue summoned Fellow Daoist Zhuanlun?" Qiu Yu asked curiously. She knew Lin Zhuanlun well. She knew that he was a good-natured person who was good at alchemy and had rejected her kindness before, but nothing surprising happened. Yet, she didn't know how he got to know the Ice Palace Fairy.

Yue Pingye shook his head and said nothing more.

Go around the small pond and arrive at a pavilion.

"Go ahead." Yue Pingye said.

Lin Bai bowed to Yue Pingye and walked up to the attic.

A cool breeze blew in the attic. The moon was not visible, but there was a person kneeling on the ground, shivering. It was none other than He Wenyao.

"Brother Zhuanlun..." He Wenyao turned around, crying and looking frightened.

"Why are you here?" Lin Bai asked.

"Senior Yue summoned me..." He Wenyao cried non-stop, "I...I confessed everything. Now Senior Yue has gone to catch the fairy, I...you quickly find a way to save the fairy!"

Lin Bai looked around and didn't see anything unusual. Then he came to the stone plate. He didn't hear anything good or bad, but only saw a thick moon-white color outside the fog.

"Ancestor Yue, I sincerely request to see you." Lin Bai opened his eyes and saluted towards the bright moon.

It was as if a bronze mirror had shattered here, He Wen Yao had disappeared, and only a woman in a white long gown was sitting there, with the moonlight shining on her beautiful face.

As expected, Yuanyings are not easy to mess with. They start with an illusion. Moreover, this illusion seems to be his innate magical power, which is extremely mysterious and almost impossible to find any flaws. If it weren't for the mist on the stone plate, Lin Bai would have been fooled.

The Moon Toad held the plum blossom hairpin in his hand, but his eyes were looking into the distance. After a long while, he said, "You are quite capable. However, no matter how capable you are, you should not easily covet the things of the Qiushui Sword Sect."

It seems that He Wenyao was also tricked and probably confessed everything, maybe even telling the fact that he had served Lu Qingyin for decades without ever touching her hand.

But there is no need to worry. Yue Xia Chan is not from the Qiu Shui Sword Sect, and he doesn't seem angry now. He is probably just being cautious and is just testing the waters.

"It's just a request from a friend." Lin Bai quickly bowed again, "Please don't blame me, Fairy."

As expected, Yuexiachan did not mention the matter again, but simply said, "I heard that a sword immortal appeared in the East Sea, and even Kong Shu is no match for him. Is that true?"

"At that time, Senior Kong had been fighting hard for a long time and was exhausted. The term "Sword Immortal" is just a fabrication by ignorant people." Lin Bai replied.

Yuexiachan remained silent, and after a while asked, "Is she okay?"

There is a sense of mystery in these words, and it is hard to tell whether they are intimate or not.

"Those who fled home for refuge, although they are safe now, they still don't know what the future will hold. As a result, Patriarch Zou is in a bad mood and his practice is not going well. Now, Patriarch Zou seems to want to put all his energy on my junior disciple, letting him follow him around and give him advice from time to time. Even the branch of Tianwen Sect left has been handed over to my junior disciple to take care of." Lin Bai didn't tell a lie.

After hearing this, Yuexiachan finally turned around and opened her eyes to look at Lin Bai.

"Are you her male lover?" Yue Xia Chan's voice became more and more ethereal, as if there was a hint of jealousy and mockery in it.

"I am innocent!" Lin Bai immediately leaned forward and said sincerely, "Because I always serve Elder Zou, some ignorant people spread rumors. Elder Zou is innocent and treats me like his own son. How could he do such a thing?"

"I didn't believe it at first." Yuexiachan smiled slightly, "He Wenyao has told you everything. You even flirted with He Wenyao's beloved, which shows that you have bad intentions. But at least you know your limits and didn't do that dirty thing."

The people here are so strange, some seek wild pleasure, while others are afraid of it like a tiger.

Lin Bai did not dare to argue. After all, Yuexiachan was not angry at all, and his tone was as if he was treating a naughty junior.

"Senior, Grandmother Zou ordered me to pass on this letter. She said that I am the person she trusts the most, so I can only hand it to you personally, and never ask someone else to do it."

Lin Bai took out the letter and respectfully presented it to him.

A bright jade hand stretched out from the white sleeve, took the letter, opened it and read it, then burned it. She did not mention the content of the letter, but only said: "Tell me about the East China Sea."

"This..." Lin Bai was in a dilemma, and said, "Senior, I received an order before I came here..."

The toad under the moon frowned, and the moonlight and the waves reflected on her face, making her look like a sick beauty.

"Of course, senior and Ancestor Zou are close friends, so they are naturally my closest seniors. Of course, I will tell you everything I know." Lin Bai quickly talked about the situation in Zhou Huishan.

The Moon Toad seemed to be quite curious about the events in the East China Sea and asked in great detail, especially about the battle between Chen Tianren and Kong Shu, which he asked in great detail.

"This Taoist friend Chen Zhiyuan is extraordinary. I wish I could meet him in person." Yuexiachan respected Chen Tianren very much. He stared at the bright white moon and thought for a long time, then shook his head slightly, as if he felt that he was not as good as him, even far behind.

Lin Bai didn't say anything and looked well behaved.

After a long while, Yue Xia Chan looked at Lin Bai again and asked, "You have traveled thousands of miles to deliver a letter. Do you have anything to ask for?"

"Grandmaster Zou treats me like a family member. Senior is a close friend of Grandmaster Zou. It is my duty to deliver a letter. What else do I want?" Lin Bai bowed and said, "I only wish to have a three-inch space in Tianshan Sect to practice meditation. I would be more than happy to serve you all the time."

What Lin Bai said was the truth. Ever since he arrived in the Northern Wilderness, he felt that although there were many high-level cultivators in this broken place, there were also many troubles. He should quickly find a place of refuge to practice.

As for the affairs of the Tianwen Sect, the Creation Art, and even more, just inquire about them slowly. Anyway, with the support of the Tianshan Sect, you can come to Tiangong City from time to time, so you will never lack information.

There is also the broken lotus that Lu Qingyin asked for. Since He Wenyao has given it all at once, if Yuexiachan is willing to give it to her, then she can take it. If not, she can slowly persuade him later.

"How many of you have come here to inquire about the affairs of the Tianwen Sect?" Yuexiachan ignored Lin Bai's flattery.

"To be honest, there are twelve people in total. It's just that I took another path. I don't know where the rest of my fellow disciples are, or how many are left." Lin Bai said.

"The Tianwen sect will not be able to sustain for long. I'm afraid Senior Huo won't be able to hold on for much longer." Yuexiachan gave a message.

"May I ask where the people who besieged Tianwen Sect came from and what their backgrounds are? What do they want? Will they go to the East China Sea someday?" Lin Bai asked a series of questions.

"Some things, if you are not in the right state, you will not have the right vision. If you are not in the right vision, you will not be able to figure it out." Yuexiachan shook his head slightly, looked at the full moon in the sky, and sighed: "The leader is from the Holy Land of Zhongzhou. But I guess with the high level of transformation, it probably won't be a dispute of wills, it is most likely a dispute of the Great Dao, or it involves the Great Dao." So you don't know either! Lin Bai had no choice but to ask in detail, but Yuexiachan actually stood up.

She was dressed in white and looked like a green lotus. She said in a calm voice, "Nascent Soul is just an ant in front of a high-level Spiritualization cultivator, let alone a mere Golden Core? You'd better not go to the Tianwen Sect, and don't ask too much in the future, otherwise you will bring trouble upon yourself."

As he spoke, Yuexiachan waved his sleeves, and a wooden box floated in front of Lin Bai.

"A Seven-Heart White Lotus can help you fulfill the wishes of your friends; a bottle of Seven-Heart Lotus Seeds can help you concentrate and calm your mind, break the mirror and pass the level; a bottle of Seven-Heart Water Pills can help you deal with the Nascent Soul Tribulation in the future."

Yuexiachan threw out a bunch of goodies at once, with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "Qiushui Sword Sect gave up all the goodies for me to mediate."

“…” Lin Bai felt something was wrong.

"I was wondering why I felt so happy before I came here. It turned out to be a letter from an old friend." Yuexiachan turned his back to look at the moon, waved his hand casually, and said, "Our favor is over. Let's just pretend that what happened today never happened. You must not go to Tianshan Sect to look for me. We will never meet again in the future."

So all my good words were in vain? However, looking at Yuexiachan's personality, he is similar to Aunt Gu. How could we find such a person when looking for someone to do it? Qiushui Sword Sect is too outrageous. Can't we find someone with high moral character and prestige?

Lin Bai bowed, but he was not angry. After all, it was common to get less than what you get. Wasn't this a waste of money?
"Senior, I will be returning to the East China Sea tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to Elder Zou? When she...when she was writing the letter, she took out the plum blossom hairpin and looked at it for a long time..." Lin Bai licked it for the last time, hoping to get some more good things.

The Moon Toad remained silent upon hearing this. After a long time, it seemed as if it wanted to speak, but in the end it didn't.

Seeing this, Lin Bai bowed and went downstairs.

Yue Pingye and Qiu Yucan didn't say anything, and the three of them left Qiu Shui Lake in silence.

When I returned to my home, I looked for medicine.

"It's time to go back!" Lin Bai felt uneasy since he left Qiu Shui Lake and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Did you get the stuff?" He Wenyao became nervous when he saw Lin Bai. "Did you really fall asleep?"

Lin Bai nodded.

"Sure enough!" He Wenyao couldn't hide his joy, but he still kept talking nonsense and pulled Lin Bai's sleeve, "I seem to have seen the opportunity to achieve the Nascent Soul stage."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Lin Bai asked casually.

"I am now in the Golden Core Realm, and it is impossible for me to dream." He Wenyao said seriously, "But before, when I entered into a state of meditation, I felt something in my heart and actually had a dream about the Great Dao. In the dream, I fell into a valley, and unconsciously told everything I was thinking... even the matter of the Deer Fairy. Then an old man appeared and asked me what I wanted, and I told him three wishes."

Lin Bai secretly shook his head and thought that we have to find a new nest when we get back, because the Moon Toad knows everything!

The magic power of this Moon Toad is really overbearing, and it fooled He Wenyao! However, considering He Wenyao's state of mind of seeking for many years but failing to obtain it, I am afraid that magic is the most suitable remedy!

"The first one must be that Deer Fairy recovers." Seeing He Wenyao's expectant face, Lin Bai perfunctorily supported the joke.

"Go ahead!" He Wenyao stamped his feet happily, "You've brought back Yingri Suhe!"

"What about the second one?" Lin Bai asked.

"That... hehe." He Wenyao didn't say anything, feeling a little shy.

The next day, Lin Bai and He Wenyao went together to bid farewell to Qiu Yucan.

But he couldn't find the person, and after asking around, he learned that after mediation by Tianshan Sect's Sect Leader Lian and Ice Palace Fairy, Qiu Shui Sword Sect's Sect Leader Qiu and Yu Xin Yi Yi Sect's Elder Peng had already reconciled.

The leader of the Qiu Shui Sword Sect, Qiu, pointed at Qiu Shui and swore that in the future they would form an alliance with the Yu Xin Yi Yi Sect and would never deceive each other!
Now we just have to wait for Master Chu of the Yuxinyiyi Sect to come and sign the contract. When the two families are united, Tiangong City will surely become more prosperous.

"I swear on Qiu Shui..."

Lin Bai always felt that something was not right, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He just took He Wen's medicine and left.

No one stopped us on the road, but once we left the outer city, there was someone following us.

Lin Bai and He Wenyao immediately turned around and walked around for half a day, only to find that the three people who were following them were becoming more and more bold and were too lazy to even cover up.

There was no other way, so the two of them split up into two groups according to the original plan.

Of the three people behind, only one went to follow He Wenyao, and the other two went to chase Lin Bai.

After easily dealing with the enemy, Lin Bai left one person alive.

"The master sent me here..." The survivor was horrified. They clearly said that this man was an alchemist, but he didn't expect that he practiced the method of group swords, and it was very sharp.

"Qiu Xiangwan? Why did Sect Leader Qiu send someone to follow me? I haven't offended your Qiu Shui Sword Sect." Lin Bai asked.

"I don't know either..." The man was trembling with fear, and didn't seem to be faking it, as if he was just hoping to survive.

Lin Bai did not spare his life but killed him with a knife, then hurriedly went after He Wen Yao.

Following the predetermined route, they saw He Wenyao in a very miserable state, but still struggling to hold on.

"The old senior said that I could achieve Nascent Soul, so how could I fail today?" He Wen Yao, with disheveled hair, kept muttering to himself.

Lin Bai launched a surprise attack and severely injured the man from the Qiu Shui Sword Sect.

After being pressed, he learned that it was the leader of the Qiu Shui Sword Sect who ordered the tracking, but he did not tell the reason.

After dealing with the matter, Lin Bai and He Wenyao were about to go back when they saw a dazzling light bursting out from the direction of Tiangong City.

"This is the city defense formation, the Nascent Soul battle! Didn't they swear an oath on Qiu Shui..." He Wenyao stared blankly, bewildered, "Why is the Qiu Shui Sword Sect so unkind that they launched a surprise attack on the Yu Xin Yi Yi Sect? The local gangs are too unkind!"

"Or maybe it's not a sneak attack on Yuxin Yiyi Sect, but a joint effort to deal with Tianshan Sect." Lin Bai said.

Sure enough, an old female voice came, "Junior Brother Lian, why do you have to struggle so hard?"

"Qiu Xiangwan, I trusted you in vain!" An angry shout seemed to ring in my ears.

After all this fuss, it turns out that it was Qiushui Sword Sect and Yuxin Yiyi Sect who set up a trap for Tianshan Sect? These people are not very decent in their actions. Who will dare to form an alliance in the future? Who will dare to go to other people's territory? Isn't it going to be a mess?

Lin Bai felt speechless, thinking that it was fortunate that Yuexiachan didn't let him follow, and it was also fortunate that he had a vague feeling in his heart and ran out early.

"It's really God's blessing!" He Wenyao was not grateful to Lin Bai for taking him away early. Instead, he felt that his dream was truly a dream of great fortune.

The two men did not dare to go back directly, so they took a long detour and returned to the island, but they did not see the snow leopard guarding the gate.

"Why don't you let the snow leopard guard the gate? Fellow Daoist Pei, your duty is to protect the fairy..." When He Wenyao saw Pei Ning looking at him, he immediately shut up.

"Something happened." Pei Ning said.

He Wenyao was startled and ran inside.

"What's wrong?" Lin Bai asked.

"Your lover is here." Pei Ning said.

When you get to the innermost part of the cave, you will see a blue stone in the middle of the boiling water pool. On it, there is a different person, the Moon Toad.

"Idiot!" Lu Qingyin was sitting on the shore, scolding He Wenyao, "You fell into someone's illusion without knowing it, why don't you just let them search your soul directly?"

"I, I, I..." He Wenyao knelt on the ground in grievance, not daring to raise his head. (End of this chapter)
