The waiter was taken aback when he said that, realizing that the woman was dressed the same as the other customers eating in the shop.

The woman ignored the waiter, walked quickly to Abbess Miejue, said "Master" and then said, "I have news of Senior Sister Ji."

The waiter then realized they were a group of people, ignored them, and left.

Lin Ye heard this and his heart stirred.

The "Senior Sister Ji" mentioned by this person should be Ji Xiaofu, a disciple of Abbess Miejue.

In the original novel, Ji Xiaofu was humiliated by Yang Xiao, the Left Envoy of the Ming Cult, and became pregnant. Feeling ashamed to face her master and Yin Liuxia of Wudang, she left for Emei.

However, betraying one's master and going against the teachings is a great taboo in the martial arts world and is universally condemned, not to mention that Abbess Miejue is naturally extreme and stubborn, and places the greatest emphasis on sect rules.

Furthermore, Ji Xiaofu could not bear to harm Yang Xiao and disobeyed her master's orders, ultimately being killed by Miejue Shi with a single blow.

He was a pitiful person, after all.

Upon hearing that Ji Xiaofu's whereabouts had been discovered, Abbess Miejue was immediately enraged. She snorted and slammed her hand on the table, nearly shattering it.

He asked, "Where is that traitorous disciple now?"

The disciple said, "In Anhui province, we saw her with a little girl."

"A girl? Great... great!"

Abbess Miejue repeatedly praised her, but her voice was trembling with anger. She stood up abruptly, intending to go and deal with the sect, but her figure suddenly stopped.

She turned to look at the corner, where Lin Ye was still sitting, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a chicken wing in the other, seemingly watching a show.

He thought to himself, "I had completely forgotten about him."

They were in Shangjin this time, and to get to Anhui, they had to go east, while Xie Xun and the Dragon-Slaying Saber were in Kunlun in the Western Regions, so they took different routes.

The knife is important, but the reputation of Emei must not be tarnished either; Abbess Miejue is caught in a dilemma.

If we were to send someone, Ji Xiaofu's martial arts skills were already the best among her fellow disciples, and ordinary disciples would be no match for her. Sending anyone would not guarantee a successful outcome.

Thinking of this, Abbess Miejue's anger intensified.

She had placed the most hope in this disciple, even intending for him to inherit her mantle, but now he has betrayed her sect and failed to live up to her painstaking cultivation.

Ding Minjun thought that her master was still considering the master-disciple relationship, and she was anxious. She was already jealous of Ji Xiaofu, and now that she had caught her red-handed, how could she let it go?

He leaned forward and said:

"Master, Ji Xiaofu has betrayed our sect, a crime that cannot be forgiven. If we do not eliminate her as soon as possible, it may damage the reputation of Emei and bring shame upon all the past sect leaders..."

Ding Minjun's words were extremely harsh, not only bringing up Emei but also dragging in the past leaders of the sect.

Upon hearing this, Abbess Miejue's eyes indeed became even sharper, and she said:

"You and Bei Jinyi come with me to clean up the mess. The rest of you take this kid back to Emei and wait for me to return."

He paused, then added, "Don't let him leave."

The boy they were referring to was naturally Lin Ye.

The disciples of Emei responded in unison, "Yes," and watched as Abbess Miejue, Ding Minjun, Bei Jinyi, and the female disciple who brought the news left.

As she left, Ding Minjun's face was full of smugness.

The original group was reduced to only Lin Ye, Zhou Zhiruo, Jing Xuan, and five other Emei disciples.

Abbess Miejue had a thorough understanding of Lin Ye's martial arts skills. Although he was talented, he was still young and his skills were still shallow.

Two disciples were enough to handle the situation, and six disciples were even more capable. With their senior sister Jingxuan present, they felt reassured and left.

Lin Ye was overjoyed. Without the old nun Miejue watching over him, his chances of escaping were undoubtedly much greater, but he still needed to proceed with caution.

Although Ji Xiaofu is pitiful, he is currently in a precarious situation and powerless to help her.

I can only thank her in my heart for fighting for those opportunities for me.

After a hearty meal, the group stayed overnight and left the next morning. This time, instead of heading to Kunlun in the Western Regions, they set off for Mount Emei in Sichuan.

However, whether going to Emei or Kunlun, the general direction is from east to west.

I did consider escaping in the dark while I was in the woods by the inn at night, but there were always people guarding the door in shifts, so it was really hard to find an opportunity.

That day they traveled sixty li west and lit a fire in the woods that night.

The Emei Sect members sat cross-legged around the fire, and by the firelight, Lin Ye could see that these female disciples seemed very relaxed.

Lin Ye found it amusing; it seemed that Abbess Miejue usually put a lot of pressure on them.

However, he then thought that only strict teachers can produce outstanding students. Zhou Zhiruo was younger than him, and it was precisely because she had a famous and strict teacher like Miejue that he was unable to defeat her.

Thinking of this, the smile immediately vanished.

I need to practice more.

He closed his eyes and pondered, recalling the Dog-Beating Stick Technique. After going through the moves in his mind, he opened his eyes, picked up a twig of moderate thickness from the ground, and began practicing it.

He practiced from the first move, "Stick Picks Up the Mangy Dog," all the way to the seventeenth move, "Chicken Flies and Dog Jumps," and then went back to "Stick Picks Up the Mangy Dog" from "Chicken Flies and Dog Jumps," without ever getting tired.

The disciples of Emei watched from the sidelines, letting him practice without interfering.

However, they were not as knowledgeable as Abbess Miejue and did not recognize that this was the Beggars' Sect's Dog-Beating Stick Technique. But judging from the "form" that Lin Ye had practiced, they knew that this stick technique was indeed a wonderful martial art.

They all wondered: When did this young man learn such exquisite staff techniques?

Then he thought: If he had used this staff technique to compete with Junior Sister Zhou that day, it would have been hard to say who would have won or lost. He deliberately didn't use it. Could it be that he wanted to let her win?

Thinking this, someone couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhiruo. Seeing that although she was young, she already had beautiful features and was a beauty in the making. They immediately understood what was going on. They tried to suppress the upturned corners of their mouths, turned their heads and whispered something in the ear of their junior sister.

The junior sister was taken aback at first, then chuckled softly, glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, and then turned to whisper in the other person's ear.

The others did not understand at first.

But as these whispers spread like ripples through the crowd, everyone understood and responded with a tacit, low chuckle.

Zhou Zhiruo joined the sect late and was not very familiar with the other senior sisters. At first, she only stared at Lin Ye, completely captivated by his exquisite staff skills.

When they came to their senses, the surroundings were filled with laughter.

At first, she didn't understand what her senior sisters were laughing about, but she noticed that their smiling gazes were always quietly moving back and forth between her and her senior brother Lin.

Then it suddenly dawned on her that the senior sisters were laughing at her and Senior Brother Lin.

She was inexplicably angry, but her cheeks were burning red, and she turned her face to the other side.

Jingxuan saw this and suddenly let out a heavy cough. The junior sisters hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to make fun of her anymore.

Lin Ye was focused on practicing his skills and was completely unaware that the Emei disciples had just been laughing at him.

He practiced for more than an hour, and he had memorized the moves of this half of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique.

However, he knew that this was far from enough; it would only be a superficial imitation of the true essence. In actual combat, he might not even be able to unleash one-tenth of the full power of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique.

Just as he was about to practice again, Jingxuan called out from the side:

"Young Brother Lin, it's getting late. You should get some rest, as we have to travel tomorrow morning."
