After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 257 His deep affection is disgusting
Rong Ce directly rejected the marriage proposal without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Despite his inner displeasure, Elder Mo had to put on a smile and suggested that the two juniors meet to clear up the misunderstanding.

Perhaps the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and the two might even have hit it off. It's simply unreasonable to refuse to even let them meet.

Rong Ce directly used what the other party had said to deflect the question: "Elder Mo also said that the marriage of the younger generation should be decided by the elders. As an elder, I felt that the two were not suitable and therefore refused."

"..."

These words left Elder Mo speechless, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

The two planned to stay at Miaofa Sect for a while, but they were asked to leave after only two days.

But this was their territory, so they couldn't cause trouble and could only slink away.

Upon seeing the two leave the house, the birds that had been perched on the roof immediately took flight and landed on a large tree not far away to continue their surveillance.

Lin Yan couldn't cultivate with peace of mind until she saw them leave the Miaofa Sect with her own eyes, always feeling that they would cause trouble that would be detrimental to her.

The birds followed them at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and only flew back to the place where they had previously incubated their eggs after confirming that they had left the mountain gate.

The egg must be unique to attract birds transformed from spirit stones; perhaps she can snag one.

It had just landed on the branch when it stared at the long-tailed bird that was incubating its eggs. The bird was about the same size as a chick next to it.

Oh no, this egg belongs to a long-tailed bird; the bird has been caught red-handed.

The sect raises many spirit beasts to guard the mountain. According to the Spirit Beast Collection, the long-tailed bird has the bloodline of the cloud bird, but it is relatively rare.

That egg might hatch into a long-tailed bird that has reverted to its ancestral form, which is why the birds were attracted to incubate it.

She quickly manipulated the bird to dodge its attack. If the bird died, it would be as if she had lost one of her "eyes" outside.

The bird fluttered away, losing a lot of feathers, and crashed into the cultivator.

"Oh my? When did the sect start raising birds?"

Before Lin Yan could react, the bird was imprisoned by someone using spiritual power.

From a bird's perspective, the woman before it was a beautiful female cultivator. Being a bird, it couldn't sense the woman's cultivation level, but it felt an instinctive fear.

When Liu Ruyan returned to her sect after her seclusion, she saw a cute little bird bumping into her.

The sect mainly has large spirit beasts, and even the smallest spirit bird is as big as a baby. It was the first time she had seen a bird smaller than a fist, and she found it quite novel.

Upon closer inspection, a clue was discovered. This was not a real bird, but a spirit stone in disguise.

It was transformed from a high-grade spirit stone, its magic was skillfully cast, and it was quite cute. It suddenly bumped into her protective barrier, and she didn't recognize it at first.

Fearing discovery, Lin Yan quickly cut off contact.

The fact that the female cultivator could still see the bird, which was concealed by Rong Ce's magic, indicates that her cultivation level was similar to Rong Ce's, and that she was also a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Nascent Soul cultivators are at least elders in a sect, so it's best for her to avoid provoking them.

……

Liu Ruyan glanced at the bird and noticed Rong Ce's magic on it. Thinking he was conducting some kind of monitoring experiment, she released the bird and left the Miaofa Sect.

Near the mountain gate, she smelled a foul odor, flew over directly, broke the other party's concealment spell, and pulled the person out.

"Are you a sea creature? What are you doing lurking here?"

The cultivator who was exposed trembled and denied that he was a member of the sea race.

Liu Ruyan was displeased and raised her hand to pierce various acupoints on the other party with tender green silk threads.

Give him a chance to confess, but he won't. Then I'll just have to search his memories myself.

The threads seeped into his brain, and he felt like a puppet being manipulated. Just as he was about to reveal everything, he exploded. She reacted extremely quickly, instantly casting a spell to protect herself and avoid being affected by the blast.

She retracted the silk thread, and her expression became serious.

Someone was lurking near the gates of the Miaofa Sect. As the master of one of the peaks, she should have thoroughly investigated the situation, but she had other matters to attend to, so she used spirit stones to send a message to Rong Ce.

Liu Ruyan's cultivation path is very special. After going into seclusion, she will not emerge for as long as ten or twenty years, or even more than a hundred years.

This time it was quick; it was released in less than thirty years.

……

On the other side, after severing her connection with the bird, Lin Yan switched to another bird and heard a deafening explosion that nearly blew the bird's head off.

The birds move freely when they are not being manipulated by her.

The bird that had switched places was not far from the explosion. She flew over to take a look, but saw nothing.

When they flew back to the Miaofa Sect, they saw that there were more disciples patrolling the sect.

She manipulated the bird to land on a branch of the big tree at the mountain gate, and then cut off the connection.

Her consciousness withdrew from the bird and returned to her body. She was momentarily dazed, but then felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

As expected, my own body is still the best. In the weak and tiny body of the bird, my primordial spirit was squeezed and felt a little painful.

A Golden Core cultivator's primordial spirit cannot be separated from the body for too long. After this connection was severed, she cultivated and adjusted her breathing for several days.

She took out her communication jade disc, clicked on the plaza, and saw what topics were being discussed in the past few days.

The Mohists' marriage proposal was rejected, so they had to make some moves.

Just as she expected, there were trending posts about Mo Yu.

A new Jade Disc account says that he offered an entire spirit stone mine as a betrothal gift to the woman he loved, hoping to become her Daoist partner, but was rejected. Heartbroken, he went into seclusion to face his emotional pain alone.

His affectionate image has deeply resonated with people, and many have expressed that they could do the same.

Lin Yan felt nauseous looking at it.

I'm increasingly confused by Mo Yu's actions. Is he trying to force her to attack him using this method?

Thinking back to her actions during the competition, she couldn't help but rub her forehead. Her behavior before really made her seem like an impulsive person; no wonder others came up with such a method.

Seeing that many people longed to have such a devoted Daoist partner, she couldn't help but frown.

She exited the thread, accidentally refreshed the page, and came across a new post. The head disciple of a small sect and the sect leader's daughter were murdered on their wedding day.

The two had strange expressions, and their hands were artificially linked together. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that their knuckles were broken, and their hearts and golden cores had been gouged out.

The post right below it was a video uploaded by someone asking which fellow cultivator was undergoing tribulation and requesting that they stop using their supernatural powers.

In the video, dark lightning rolled, and thick bolts of lightning struck down with a deafening sound.

The person who posted the video was far away from where the lightning struck, yet they were still able to record this scene, which shows that the lightning tribulation was extraordinary, and the dark clouds covered a wide area.

Could this be Senior Sister's tribulation lightning?

I hope Master and Senior Sister return safely...

She had only been browsing Jade Disc Plaza for a short time when she received a message from someone who hadn't been online for a long time.

Lanxi: I still failed my benefactor's expectations.

An anonymous monk: What?
She sent the message and the person went offline immediately; she couldn't reach them no matter what she tried.
