It was a jade pendant, undoubtedly, and the name engraved on it was also Mu Yan!
Two personal items in a row that could prove identity left Ren Yuanhao with no choice but to believe.
However, this corpse had been dead for at least two days, and this morning Zhi Xuan said she received the sect leader's order to inform Ying Tian De to destroy the ominous sword. So, who could that Fang Mu Yan be?
Who was real and who was fake?
His mind buzzed. Just then, the red dot in his cranial cavity, symbolizing the employer, suddenly reappeared on the electronic map!
The red dot was moving towards the mountain, and that direction was undoubtedly Qing Feng Sect, hidden deep in the mountains.
"Why did Cai Wei go back to Qing Feng Sect?"
"Didi, the mission is not over, please return quickly, host."
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"The mission difficulty is set. Without activating hidden clues, the main storyline will not begin. After evaluation, the point reward has been increased to 2000, and the mission difficulty has been upgraded again. If the mission is completed, you will receive two lucky spins and one chance to open a hidden store."
"Hidden store?"
"There's no time to explain now, get moving, host."
Ren Yuanhao gritted his teeth and glanced at the corpse again. After all, the other party was a senior, and he had offended them rudely with a wooden stick. After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, he was about to leave. He suddenly thought that if he wanted to persuade the disciples of Qing Feng Sect, he needed a credible token. He carefully took the short knife and jade pendant and left quickly.
With the employer's red dot and map, Ren Yuanhao didn't need to search madly for the way. About half an hour later, Ren Yuanhao returned to the outside of the yurt.
"Uncle? Uncle?"
Ren Yuanhao wanted to go directly up the mountain, but he thought that Ying Tian De should know Cai Wei's purpose for going up the mountain, so he decided to delay for a while to ask clearly.
However, he waited outside the yurt for a long time, but there was no response. He quickly rushed into the yurt, which was covered by pine and bamboo.
The room was empty, and Ying Tian De's walking stick was nowhere to be seen. The tea on the table was still warm, and the footprints in the courtyard were messy. A bad premonition suddenly struck his heart.
"Could it be that the fake Fang Mu Yan is going to demand an explanation because I took the ominous sword?"
For some reason, the word 'fake' made him think of the Lion Heart Building in the center of Eros City, which was cold and gray, like a Dracula castle.
"I hope I'm overthinking."
He glanced at the token symbolizing the sect leader's identity again. The ominous premonition was like a dark cloud hanging over his head, pressing down bit by bit.
At this moment, traversing the lush jade-green vegetation and stepping over the winding, hidden paths, Ying Cai Wei and her father finally reached the mountain gate. With anxious hearts, they pushed open the mountain gate.
It was strange that the senior sisters who should have been practicing sword fighting in the martial arts field were nowhere to be seen. Even the gatekeepers had disappeared. The entire Qing Feng Sect was eerily silent, making them feel scared.
"This is really strange. During Fang Mu Yan's seclusion, the disciples are so lazy. If this gets out, I'd like to see where she can hide her face."
It wasn't the first time Ying Tian De had come to Qing Feng Sect, but only this time did his face carry mockery and teasing.
"Dad, you have to control your mouth and stop talking nonsense."
Although Ying Cai Wei felt a little strange, this was, after all, the place where she had lived for six years. Every blade of grass and every tree was the same as the yurt. She didn't feel the slightest bit of fear in her heart.
However, this suffocating silence was somewhat puzzling.
"Could it be that your master is reprimanding them in the back hall?"
"No, Master rarely gathers disciples for reprimands. Moreover, even if she were to reprimand them, she wouldn't choose the back hall."
As they were whispering, two gatekeepers, who were no more than ten years old, ran out from the back hall in a panic. As soon as they saw Ying Cai Wei, they said with a mournful expression, "You're finally here, hurry to Master's detached house, she's waiting for you."
Ying Cai Wei saw their faces stiffen, their shoulders seem to have ossified, and they stood there like seated Buddhas. Her voice trembled, "What happened to Master?"
"After senior sister Zhi Xuan brought you the message this morning, Master seemed to have encountered some problems in her cultivation. If I hadn't discovered it in time when I was delivering food to Master, I'm afraid Master..."
One of the plump little girls started crying as she spoke.
"Master has always been cautious in her cultivation. How could something go wrong?"
Based on Ying Cai Wei's understanding of her master, it was impossible for her master to stumble in cultivation. However, the two little ones in front of her didn't seem to be joking. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, her eyes changed, and she asked, "Have you been taking care of Master's diet recently?"
"Yes, what does senior sister mean?"
"No, I just want to ask if there were any strange movements from your senior sister before she was arrested?"
Ying Cai Wei's personality was very similar to her master's. She wouldn't easily suspect anyone. However, with such a major incident happening to her senior sister, all the fingers naturally pointed at her.
"Are you suspecting senior sister?"
"Yes, is there anything you can tell me?"
The two thought for a moment, but could not find any clues from their memory, so they could only shake their heads.
"Very good, you two must guard the mountain gate well and don't let out any information. If Master has an accident, I'm afraid those enemies will take the opportunity to cause trouble. Please."
Ying Cai Wei patted the shoulders of the two firmly and hurried towards her master's inner room. Ying Tian De stood still, looking up at the darkening clouds that were gradually gathering. It seemed as if ferocious beasts were lurking within. The pine and bamboo surrounded them like barbs reaching towards the sky, and the entire Qing Feng Sect was like a trembling prey within the sharp claws.
"The tree wants to remain still, but the wind does not stop. Qing Feng Sect is probably going to face a great change," he said softly before leaning against the stone pier at the main gate and lighting his pipe.
Ying Cai Wei passed through the three layers of gates and turned into the back courtyard where her master resided. At this moment, the senior sisters had围得 the entire courtyard completely. However, upon seeing Ying Cai Wei, they intelligently made way for her, creating a small path for her to pass through.
"You're finally here, hurry, Master wants to see you."
Before Ying Cai Wei could stand firm, Zhi Ran grabbed her and pulled her into her master's room.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she smelled a strong腥气. A spittoon was placed beside the bamboo bed, but there was no phlegm inside. Instead, it was half a jar of blood. Her master was lying weakly on the bed, her eyes blankly looking at the empty top of the bamboo house. Only when she felt Ying Cai Wei's presence did she slowly turn her head.
However, this turn of her head startled Ying Cai Wei. Her master's once gentle and elegant face was now covered with wrinkles, making her look as if she had aged more than twenty years!
