Chapter 371 The Former Saintess Takes Over
Lin Miaoyin said, "Back then, she killed many disciples of the demonic sect on the border between the righteous and demonic sects. Later, she claimed to have gone into seclusion for a life-or-death retreat, and her name is still in the sect's records."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "She is skilled in the secret arts of the soul and also adept at using the cold energy to raise puppets."
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "If she sets her sights on you, the trouble won't just happen once."
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"That's why Elder Leng detained me at Ice Soul Peak for a short while."
Lin Miaoyin turned her gaze to him.
"moment?"
Mo Chengyue changed his tune.
"A relatively long time."
Jin Qiaoqiao asked, "What else did she say?"
Mo Chengyue cautiously said, "Let me stay close to her."
Qin Wanzhuang looked at him.
"besides."
Mo Chengyue's lips twitched.
She said I was her person.
Click.
A thin crack appeared in the teacup in Jin Qiaoqiao's hand.
Lin Miaoyin pressed her fingertips onto the pipa strings, and the sound of the strings pierced the insects flying in the courtyard, causing them to scatter.
Qin Wanzhuang's sword sheath shifted half an inch, leaving a shallow mark on the stone surface.
Mo Chengyue quickly raised his hand.
"Stop, everyone, don't make a move yet."
Jin Qiaoqiao asked, "What gives her the right?"
Lin Miaoyin's smile was chilling.
"The people of Ice Soul Peak have a very long reach."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "That's inappropriate."
Mo Chengyue looked at his second senior sister with emotion.
Qin Wanzhuang continued, "She should be made to take it back."
Mo Chengyue was so moved that he died on the spot.
"Second Senior Sister, Elder Leng is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "I know."
Mo Chengyue said, "If you try to reason with them now, it could easily escalate into a conflict between sects."
Jin Qiaoqiao stared at him.
"Are you on her side?"
Mo Chengyue immediately shook his head.
"I yearn for peace."
Lin Miaoyin slowly picked up the pipa.
"You, Peace, always gravitate towards pretty women."
Mo Chengyue was speechless.
That statement is irrefutable.
Because the facts are offensive.
Qin Wanzhuang asked, "What did you say to her?"
Mo Chengyue said, "I said, this disciple has remembered."
Golden light flickered in Jin Qiaoqiao's eyes.
"You still agree?"
Mo Chengyue wore a bitter expression.
"At the time, I was on the flying boat, with Qin Shuanglian being held captive beside me, and Elder Leng sitting in front of me, both of them injured. If I didn't agree, was I supposed to jump off?"
Lin Miaoyin said, "You have the Moon Shadow Illusion Pendant."
Mo Chengyue looked at her.
"You even know I've touched Pei?"
Qin Wanzhuang said, "You touch it whenever there's danger."
Mo Chengyue looked down at his waist.
This habit needs to be changed.
Otherwise, the warning signs before escaping will be too obvious.
Jin Qiaoqiao snorted coldly.
"You still want to run?"
Mo Chengyue said, "It's just a contingency plan, nothing more."
Lin Miaoyin said softly, "Mo Chengyue, you'd better remember this: if Qin Suying really attacks you, Qingquan Peak is no pushover."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "I will check the records of Xuan Shuang Valley."
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "The Peacock Clan also has spies in the Northwest. I have people keeping an eye on the outside of Xuan Shuang Valley."
Mo Chengyue looked at them, wanting to laugh, but didn't.
"You're putting even more pressure on me."
Jin Qiaoqiao frowned.
"You think we're meddling?"
Mo Chengyue shook his head.
"I'm afraid you'll get dragged into this."
Lin Miaoyin's fingertips paused on the strings.
"You're only scared now?"
Mo Chengyue said, "I was afraid before, but it wasn't as troublesome or expensive back then."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Speak like a human being."
Mo Chengyue shrugged.
"Anyone at Qin Suying's level could become her test subject if they get close to me."
A sinister glint flashed in Jin Qiaoqiao's eyes.
"Am I afraid of her?"
Mo Chengyue said, "You may not be afraid, but the Peacock Clan may not be able to withstand her instigation."
Jin Qiaoqiao pressed her lip line tightly.
Lin Miaoyin asked, "Are you afraid she'll target Zizhu Peak?"
Mo Chengyue looked at her.
"You've just stepped down from your position as Saintess, and the area around Purple Bamboo Peak isn't even completely clean yet. If someone tries to use the Xuan Shuang Valley's influence to challenge you to a reinstatement, will you accept?"
Lin Miaoyin remained silent for a moment.
"Accepting the offer is a trap, not accepting it is a sign of weakness."
Mo Chengyue said, "That's right."
Qin Wanzhuang asked, "What about Qingquan Peak?"
Mo Chengyue sighed, "Qingquan Peak is the most troublesome."
Qin Wanzhuang raised her eyebrows.
Why?
Mo Chengyue said, "Our master is too powerful. Outsiders dare not make direct moves against him, so they will go around the disciples."
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "Like you?"
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"Like me."
Lin Miaoyin looked at him.
"You seem to have a very clear understanding of yourself."
Mo Chengyue said earnestly, "This is called the self-awareness of the weak."
Qin Wanzhuang said coldly, "You are not weak."
Mo Chengyue said, "Senior Sister, it warms my heart to hear you say this, but the Nascent Soul elders outside will laugh if they hear it."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Let them laugh."
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "I think you should move to the room next to mine."
Mo Chengyue looked around.
"My cave dwelling is already next to your pavilion."
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "Closer."
Lin Miaoyin coughed lightly.
"Speaking of which, I have something to attend to."
Mo Chengyue immediately became alert.
"What is it?"
Lin Miaoyin displayed a gentle and graceful demeanor.
"I've moved to Qingquan Peak."
Mo Chengyue's hand, which was holding a teacup, froze in mid-air.
"What?"
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Master agrees."
Mo Chengyue looked at her.
"Second Senior Sister, you know?"
Qin Wanzhuang nodded.
"morning."
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "I know that too."
Mo Chengyue looked at Jin Qiaoqiao.
"You knew too?"
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "Of course I know she chose my house."
Lin Miaoyin looked at him with a smile.
"What, you're not welcoming me?"
Mo Chengyue put down his teacup, his tone sincere.
"Of course you're welcome, but Zizhu Peak is a serene place. Why would Senior Sister condescend to come to Qingquan Peak?"
Lin Miaoyin gently plucked the strings.
"Qingquan Peak is serene."
Mo Chengyue said, "These words, coming from the former Holy Maiden, are not very credible."
Lin Miaoyin said, "There are too many people and too many eyes on Zizhu Peak. Now that I have stepped down, staying there will only make me a target of attention."
Qin Wanzhuang added a sentence.
"Master said that the houses on Qingquan Peak are empty anyway."
Mo Chengyue closed his eyes.
Master.
You really took your position as peak master by chance.
Jin Qiaoqiao rests her chin on her hand.
"Peak Master Yan also said that since your place is already lively enough, one more won't make a difference."
Mo Chengyue felt a tightness in his chest.
"Has Master always spoken in such a simple and unadorned manner?"
Lin Miaoyin said, "She also said that if you have any objections, you can go and cry to her."
Mo Chengyue withdrew his opinion on the spot.
"I don't."
Qin Wanzhuang looked at him.
"Really not?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Master's arrangements are far-sighted and have profound meaning."
Jin Qiaoqiao scoffed.
"You chickened out so quickly."
Mo Chengyue said, "This is called respecting one's teacher and valuing the Way."
Lin Miaoyin smiled and said, "I live in the small building on the west side, not far from your cave."
Mo Chengyue asked, "How far is 'not far'?"
Jin Qiaoqiao raised her hand and pointed.
"Pass two trees."
Mo Chengyue looked over.
Purple gauze lanterns have already been hung up there.
Even the wind chimes have been changed to the shape of purple bamboo.
His last shred of hope was extinguished.
It turns out it wasn't an application.
They have already checked in.
Lin Miaoyin rested her chin on her hand as she looked at him.
"I didn't bring many maids, nor many things."
Mo Chengyue asked, "What were those carts?"
Lin Miaoyin followed his gaze.
On a path in the distance, several outer disciples were carrying boxes westward, the lids of which were covered with seals from Zizhu Peak.
Lin Miaoyin remained composed.
"Clothes".
Mo Chengyue asked, "A dozen or so boxes, all filled with clothes?"
Lin Miaoyin said, "Beauty needs to be maintained."
Jin Qiaoqiao snorted coldly.
"A showpiece."
Lin Miaoyin glanced at her sideways.
"Princess of the Peacock Clan, the feather hairpin in your hair is enough to buy half of the Spirit Silk Street."
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "I was born with a noble air."
Lin Miaoyin said, "I was born beautiful."
