I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

Although nothing actually happened between him and Ji Yunyou in the end.

However, their relationship has become even closer than before.

This is also a gain.

Lin Xiao just couldn't understand why Ji Yunyou, who had clearly fallen in love, would suddenly change her mind.

This is not a good habit.

“Young Master, something seemed amiss when the Pavilion Master left last night.”

Shen Qingyun gently reminded him from her arms.

Something's not right?

Lin Xiao was stunned, not understanding what it meant.

"I don't know the specifics either. Why don't you go and see the Pavilion Master, young master?"

Shen Qingyun suggested.

"I will help you change your clothes, young master."

Youqing said obediently, like a lazy kitten, as she got up from Lin Xiao's arms.

"I can do it myself! You should rest first."

Lin Xiao smiled.

"It's all the young master's fault!"

Youqing glanced at Lin Xiao with a mixture of reproach and secret delight.

……

Ji Yunyou's residence is located in the deepest part of the bamboo forest, not too far away.

Lin Xiao looked up at the palace in front of him.

The palace gates were tightly closed, indicating that Ji Yunyou was in seclusion.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck down.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Xiao dispersed the lightning.

This thing is really annoying.

He was handling important business last night, but he encountered several such incidents, which distracted him and made him wary, lest his plans be ruined...

"It seems like nothing's wrong!"

Lin Xiao murmured something.

Since Ji Yunyou was in seclusion, he didn't intend to disturb her.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura surged within the palace—an attack belonging to the soul.

The surrounding bamboo forest trembled violently.

Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that he was unable to resist the soul attack, and hurriedly took out the green hat and put it on his forehead.

A green hat is extremely effective against spiritual attacks.

Lin Xiao was no longer affected.

"That's not right!"

Lin Xiao frowned; Ji Yunyou's condition seemed very unstable.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao pushed open the palace gate.

A thick, enchanting aura swept over him. If it weren't for the green hat, Lin Xiao estimated that he could have conquered at least ten stone pillars today.

This aura is terrifying.

Lin Xiao stared at Ji Yunyou and noticed that Ji Yunyou's temperament was constantly changing.

Sometimes dignified and elegant, sometimes majestic, sometimes alluring and charming.

"Whoosh!"

At one point, Ji Yunyou opened her eyes.

She quickly concealed her aura.

This relieved Lin Xiao. It seemed the situation wasn't too bad. Ji Yunyou was extremely strong and wouldn't easily cause trouble.

"Second Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Xiao asked.

"fine!"

Ji Yunyou shook her head and smiled, "However, Second Master needs to return to the Qingqiu Demon Realm; there are some things he needs to take care of."

"what's up?"

Lin Xiao asked.

"These are just some trivial matters within the Demon Realm; nothing serious."

Ji Yunyou said vaguely.

"Second Master, something's wrong with you."

Lin Xiaodao.

He's not stupid; he can tell all too well that Ji Yunyou is trying to hide it from him.

Something must have really gone wrong.

"Tsk! What's this new joke?"

Ji Yunyou chuckled softly.

“Then I will accompany my second master to the Qingqiu Demon Realm.”

Seeing that Ji Yunyou was being stubborn, Lin Xiao simply made a request.

"What are you going to do?"

Ji Yunyou intended to refuse.

Lin Xiao said, "Second Master, you must protect my safety. Who knows when the Heavenly Tribulation might descend."

Ji Yunyou shook her head and said, "The Heavenly Tribulation will not occur for the time being."

Lin Xiao continued, "Even if the Heavenly Tribulation doesn't occur, what about an attack from a supreme expert? Second Master wouldn't want to become a widow so soon, would he?"

"Widowhood..."

Even though Ji Yunyou wasn't exactly a naive and innocent girl, she was still stunned by Lin Xiao's thought process.

"Shen Tuo is being hunted down, and Li Tianzong and Chai Guangyao have probably both fled back to Taiwei Holy Land and Tianyang Holy Land. What danger could you possibly be in now?"

Ji Yunyou said with a hint of amusement.

She was indeed reluctant to take Lin Xiao to the Qingqiu Demon Realm.

Even she herself wasn't very confident about this seclusion.

"Second Master, you're wrong. There's another mastermind behind it all. If that person isn't found, I could be in danger at any moment."

Lin Xiao said seriously.

"The mastermind?"

Ji Yunyou was taken aback.

She subconsciously thought that Lin Xiao was making up some lie again.

"Second Master, have you ever considered that all the events that happened in this battle of demons were orchestrated by someone?"

Lin Xiao asked the question.

"Weren't Chen Shanyin and the others won over by Song Zhiyu?"

"The appearance of Shen Tuo, Li Tianzong, and Chai Guangyao should be considered as a conspiracy between them."

Ji Yunyou replied.

She had clearly given this matter some thought.

"What if it isn't?"

Lin Xiao suddenly asked.

"Ok?"

Ji Yunyou was slightly surprised, not understanding what Lin Xiao meant.

"What if Chen Shanyin wasn't won over by Song Zhiyu? What if Shen Tuo wasn't sent by Li Tianzong to kill me, but by someone else?"

Lin Xiao continued to ask questions.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunyou's expression became more solemn.

Lin Xiao's lie didn't seem like a hastily fabricated one; it seemed more like a carefully considered one.

These words forced Ji Yunyou to take them seriously.

"You mean there really is a mastermind behind all this, manipulating everything? Including Shen Tuo and Song Zhiyu, who are all just pawns?"

Ji Yunyou said.

"Yes!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

Why do you have such doubts?

Ji Yunyou felt a slight chill in her heart.

If that's the case, then the cunning and scheming of the mastermind behind it all is rather frightening.

They managed to keep it a secret from everyone.
