Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Bai Shi old man watched his back disappear into the distance, and said to Yin You and Kong Miaoyin with a wry smile:

"Bai Mo is not a bad person. He just focused too much on cultivating immortality in his early years and neglected his family. When he woke up, Bai Ha was the only descendant left. So he turned all his regrets and resentment into love for Bai Ha, which made him become like this."

Yin You slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This is not a reason for them to do evil."

If Zhu Yingqiu was just an ordinary eighth-level cultivator, she would have died in Bai Ha's conspiracy and siege. If she did not have the strength of the ninth level, she would have died at the hands of Bai Mo long ago.

If it were someone else, with no strength, no background, and nothing at all, how could he contend against Baiha, Baimo, and even the huge force of the Bailun Dynasty?

In the end, they will only die unjustly, without any clear reason and with no one paying attention to them, just like the weeds that can be seen everywhere, disappearing silently between heaven and earth.

Yin You has never been polite to such evil monks.

The old man looked at the expression of the young man in front of him, was silent for a moment, and laughed at himself:

"Yes, this is not a reason for them to do evil."

After sighing, the old man looked at Yin You and Kong Miaoyin and said, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, come to my place and chat for a while. It has been a long time since anyone has chatted with me."

She turned around, hunched over, and walked slowly in one direction.

Her steps were slow and leisurely. If Yin You didn't know that she was the Hundred Ages Empress from a thousand years ago, he would have probably regarded her as an ordinary mortal old woman.

"go?"

Yin You looked at Kong Miaoyin.

Kong Miaoyin shrugged: "All right."

Upon hearing this, Yin You took a step forward and followed.

To be honest, he was quite interested in the Hundred Generations Empress, a powerful cultivator who was famous in the five regions a thousand years ago. Since he could talk to her face to face, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.

Old Man Bai Shi brought Yin You and Kong Miaoyin to a thatched cottage deep in the palace.

Yin You looked around and found that the interior of the hut was simply furnished. Apart from a bed, a table and a few futons, there was nothing else.

"Sit wherever you like."

After saying this, Old Man Bai Shi found a random cushion and sat cross-legged on it.

Yin You and Kong Miaoyin didn't hesitate and each found a cushion to sit on.

It seemed that the old lady Bai Shi just wanted to find someone to chat with. She was very talkative and knowledgeable. She talked a lot with Yin You and the other person, ranging from spiritual practice to spiritual food, from skills to spiritual weapons, and even the strange people and events in the five domains and the rare treasures of heaven and earth.

Her attitude was very gentle, like a kind elder who was patient and instructive. She spoke slowly and her cloudy but gentle eyes were always fixed on Yin You and Kong Miaoyin.

When Yin You and Kong Miaoyin were talking, she would not make a noise to interrupt them, but listened quietly with a kind expression, smiling and nodding from time to time, obviously taking their words to heart.

Old Man Bai Shi saw that the divine possession that Yin You had just performed was somewhat related to the method of the five internal organs gods. He also guided Yin You on some of the doubts he had recently had when practicing the Five Elements, which benefited Yin You a lot.

But to Kong Miaoyin, the words of the old man Bai Shi seemed a little incomprehensible.

"Have you seen her?"

Kong Miaoyin seemed to know who the "she" that Bai Shi Lao Ren was talking about was, and nodded slightly:

"Ah."

Elder Bai Shi said, "You can ask me any questions you have. She and I have been friends for many years, and I know more or less about what happened back then."

Kong Miaoyin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "She... they really don't have any regrets at all?"

The old man Bai Shi said decisively: "No."

Kong Miaoyin frowned slightly and said nothing.

Seeing her expression, the old man smiled and said, "Why, you don't believe it?"

Kong Miaoyin shook her head: "I just don't understand why they are so persistent."

After a pause, she continued: "I will not be influenced by them. I will see everything clearly with my own eyes."

The old man just smiled when he heard this.

Not long ago, a young woman wearing a green Taoist scarf said something similar to her.

"Love doesn't know where it started, but it keeps going deep."

With a sigh in his heart, the old man Bai Shi stopped talking about this topic.

Night falls.

The sleepy old man lowered his head and spoke in a softer voice: "It's getting late, you should stay here for one night before leaving."

As she spoke, she called a young girl and brought Yin You and Kong Miaoyin to a small courtyard not far from the thatched cottage.

……

The next morning.

Before leaving, Yin You and Kong Miaoyin went to the thatched cottage to meet the old man again.

"Are you leaving so early?"

Old lady Bai Shi was still sitting cross-legged on the futon she had sat on yesterday. She seemed to have just woken up, and her tone was a little unclear:

"Well, let's go. Young people should go out more often. Just come back to see an old man like me when you have time."

After saying that, she waved her hand, indicating that the two could leave.

Looking at the frail, hunchbacked old woman, Yin You and Kong Miaoyin said goodbye and turned to leave.

Old Lady Bai Shi looked at the backs of the two people leaving. Faintly, she seemed to see two other figures, one of whom was wearing a green Taoist scarf on his head.

Two figures turned their backs to her, stretched out their hands and waved, as if saying goodbye to her.

For some reason, the old man suddenly laughed out loud: "You guys..."

Chapter 110 Dark Shadows

Yin You and Kong Miaoyin were walking on the streets of Bailun Imperial Capital.

Apparently they caused quite a bit of noise in the Bailun Palace yesterday. After walking on the street for a while, all I heard was people discussing the aftermath of the battle that took place in the Bailun Palace yesterday.

Some people said that the Bailun Imperial Family had offended the wrong cultivators, who came to them for revenge. Others said that two great cultivators of the Ninth Realm of the Bailun Imperial Family were discussing the Dao. Some even said with certainty that it was demons that attacked the Bailun Imperial Palace, but were stopped by a cultivator of the Ninth Realm who was in seclusion deep in the Bailun Imperial Palace. Otherwise, the entire Bailun Imperial Family would have turned into a living hell.

People held different opinions and no one was willing to give in, so the argument got very intense.

With Yin You and Kong Miaoyin's hearing ability, they could naturally hear the whispers clearly.

Yin You glanced casually and found Kong Miaoyin looking at him with a slightly teasing look, so he turned his head away:

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing Yin You turned his head away, Kong Miaoyin became interested instead. He moved closer to Yin You and said with a soft smile:

“How does it feel?”

She smiled a little wickedly, like an older sister bullying a child.

"I don't feel anything."

Yin You didn't turn around to look at her.

After spending a long time with Kong Miaoyin, Yin You's impression of her has changed a lot. When he first met Kong Miaoyin, in his mind she was a mysterious and otherworldly Buddhist disciple with a calm and independent temperament who was indifferent to worldly affairs.

In his mind, Kong Miaoyin is now a girl who appears serious on the outside but is actually a little naughty at heart. It would be fine if there were outsiders present, but if he is the only one around, Kong Miaoyin will become very lively and talk a lot more than usual.

When Yin You was traveling outside before, the two junior apprentice brothers beside him were relatively quiet and spoke little, not like Kong Miaoyin, who made him difficult to deal with.

Kong Miaoyin was very tactful. He only teased Yin You a few times, then stopped playing around and turned to asking about serious matters:

"Where to go next?"

Yin You had heard Kong Miaoyin say this several times, and he was even used to it. He blurted out subconsciously:

"Holy City."

As soon as he said this, Yin You came back to his senses, feeling a little puzzled by his own behavior. Logically speaking, he and Kong Miaoyin had not known each other for long, so why did he get along with her so naturally and feel so familiar with her as if they were old friends who had known each other for decades?

Because Yin You had turned his head away just now, Kong Miaoyin did not see the expression on his face and nodded slightly:

"Shengyan City... I remember that city is not far from Tongbei Gate, right?"

"That's a coincidence. I wanted to visit Tongbei Sect, one of the top five sects in the Northern Territory, but something delayed my trip."

"Yin You, after I accompany you to retrieve the fragment of the Sealing Spirit Map, will you accompany me to Tongbei Gate?"

Yin You nodded and said, "Okay."

Kong Miaoyin smiled and couldn't help but reach out and rub Yin You's head:

"That's right. It's worth it that I've been with you for so long."

The next moment, they were both stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. After a while, Kong Miaoyin came back to her senses and quickly took her hand off Yin You's head. Her face turned red.

"I...I didn't mean to..."

Seeing her suddenly tense appearance, Yin You was somewhat helpless: "It's okay, you don't have to care."

Yin You didn't care about Kong Miaoyin's behavior just now. In Xueling Ruins, he was touched on the head and hugged by mature women like his master, Aunt Liu, and the Ruins Master every day, and he had long been accustomed to it.

Moreover, Kong Miaoyin had indeed helped him a lot without expecting anything in return, whether it was helping him remove the curse or accompanying him for such a long time. Although Yin You didn't say it, he always kept it in his heart and didn't forget it.

"However, it seems that Tongbei Sect generally does not receive outsiders."

Yin You recalled some rumors he had heard and spoke.

"what?"

Hearing this, Kong Miaoyin came out of her previous state. She was not too depressed, but just a little regretful:

"That's right. If every cultivator can enter and leave Tongbei Sect at will, then the status of Tongbei Sect, the top sect in the Northern Territory, will be too low."

"What a pity! I originally wanted to go to their Sutra Library to read some Buddhist scriptures that we don't have in the Western Regions."

Yin You suddenly slapped his head, as if he had just remembered something: "Oh, right, Master happens to have a good friend in Tongbei Sect. If I use the excuse of visiting that senior, they should let us in."

"Yes, you are a disciple of Xuelingxu, another top sect in the Northern Territory. They will still give you this face."

Kong Miaoyin's expression brightened. She looked at Yin You's face, and suddenly a flash of realization flashed in her eyes:

"Okay, you just said that on purpose, didn't you?"

Seeing Kong Miaoyin's reaction so quickly, Yin You chuckled, quickened his pace, and walked a long distance in just a few steps, obviously acknowledging it.

Seeing him walking so fast, Kong Miaoyin also took a step forward to catch up with him.

"Don't run!"

……

A few days after Yin You and Kong Miaoyin left the Bailun Imperial Capital on the teleportation platform, a dark shadow rushed out from somewhere in the city, evaded the guards, and entered the Bailun Imperial Palace.

The shadow was very familiar with the layout of the Bailun Palace. It had a clear purpose. It avoided the guards and servants along the way and went straight to the place of punishment that all the Bailun royal family members were afraid of - the Fallen World.

The teleportation array to the Fallen World is located in a plain-looking palace deep within the Bailun Imperial Palace, guarded by a royal elder at the peak of the eighth realm.

The shadow passed by quickly using the shadows on the ground without revealing any breath, and stood on the teleportation array in front of the royal elder.

The shadow stayed quietly on the teleportation array, not moving.

Until one day, a punished member of the Bailun royal family was brought into this palace and stood on the teleportation array leading to the Fallen World.

The moment the numb-looking royal child stood in front of the teleportation array, the dark shadow that had been motionless for a long time finally moved. As the shadow of the royal child moved imperceptibly, the dark shadow completely merged into it.

The royal elder in charge of guarding this place carefully checked the punishment order brought by the royal deacon before activating the teleportation array.

With a flash of light, the royal child disappeared.

In a world where the wind was howling, the figure of the royal family slowly appeared.

As soon as he came out, he put up a layer of spiritual energy shield to resist the strange strong wind blowing from all directions. Even so, he still felt a dull pain in his body and soul, and as time passed, the pain became more severe and unbearable.

This is the strange strong wind that is everywhere in the Fallen World.

The royal child was concentrating on resisting the strong wind and did not notice that his shadow moved slightly. A dark shadow quietly broke away and went in a certain direction.

Chapter 111 Undercurrent

In front of a cliff somewhere in the Fallen World, an old white-haired man was sitting cross-legged on the ground facing the cliff with a slightly ferocious face, resisting the strange strong wind that was everywhere around him.
