A few days later, a guard came to the guest house where Pei Yun was staying and took her to Lingxi Mountain to meet the Venerable Lingxi...

The guard brought her to a peach forest on the top of Lingxi Mountain and said, "The owner of the mountain is waiting for the girl in the peach forest." After he finished speaking, he left.

Pei Yun looked at the clusters of blooming peach blossoms in front of her and frowned slightly. This peach blossom forest seemed to be quite large and it would take a lot of time to find someone. She thought about it and was about to use her spiritual sense when she heard the sounds of a flute and a piano coming from somewhere at the same time.

The sounds of the flute and the piano intertwined and complemented each other, as ethereal and long as the sound of immortals, and with a sense of freedom and uninhibitedness, which made Pei Yun feel open-minded and comfortable...

The flute sound she heard in the bamboo demon tribe’s territory before was intended to attack her mind and test her strength, but the music this time was not hostile. However, she instantly understood the intention of this Venerable Lingxi. He was probably testing her and wanted her to identify where he was.

Pei Yun picked up the witch bell at his waist and shook it gently. The abrupt sound of the bell destroyed the harmonious and beautiful music, but it did not affect the people playing the flute and the piano...

She closed her eyes, calmed down, concentrated her mind, and listened carefully to the sound of the flute and the piano. Gradually, she vaguely felt the resonance hidden in the music. She used her spiritual sense to subconsciously imitate this resonance frequency to control the witch bell in her hand. This time, the sound of the bell seemed to blend into the sound of the flute and the piano, and it seemed much more harmonious...

Pei Yun also vaguely sensed the source of the music. She closed her eyes and walked towards the source of the music, shaking the witch bell in her hand from time to time to accompany the flute and piano music...

When she opened her eyes, she had already arrived at the depths of the peach blossom forest. Not far away was a simple and quaint thatched cottage. In the yard outside the cottage was a peach blossom tree. Two figures, one red and one white, were standing and one was sitting under the peach blossom tree. One was playing a bamboo flute, and the other was playing a guqin. The breeze blew by, and petals fell one after another, resting on their shoulders...

Pei Yun smiled slightly and shook the witch bell in his hand, bringing the music to a perfect end...

"Greetings to Venerable Lingxi, greetings to Venerable Qingu." Pei Yun bowed to the two people in front of him.

Chen Lingxi, who was dressed in scarlet, turned the bamboo flute in his hand and placed it behind him. His eyes were slightly bright and a smile was on his lips. He said, "Friend Pei, you can come out of the bamboo monster's tribe. I believe you have heard their flute sounds. How does my flute sound compared to theirs?"

Pei Yun was stunned when she heard this, but she was not surprised. This was the territory of Venerable Lingxi. As long as he wanted, he could know anything. Naturally, he also knew that she had entered the bamboo monster's territory.

"Of course, Your Excellency is powerful." This is not flattery, but the truth.

Chen Lingxi chuckled at this. Qin Gu stood up, brushed the petals off his shoulders, nodded gently when he looked at Pei Yun, and then turned to Chen Lingxi and asked, "Why did you call Pei Yun and me here?"

"Of course it's because of the last time the man in black assassinated Pei Xiaoyou."

Chen Lingxi led the two into the thatched cottage. The three of them sat around a round table. He said, "Little Pei is a guest of Lingxi Mountain. She was assassinated in my territory. Lingxi Mountain must give her an explanation no matter what. I am asking you to be a witness..."

Chen Lingxi and Qin Gu have been friends for many years. He patted his old friend on the shoulder very familiarly and personally poured spiritual tea for Qin Gu and Pei Yun.

After a while, the man in black was brought in front of the three people by two guards. With them was Shi Meixue, who came forward upon hearing the news.

After all, Shi Meixue's affair was not a glorious one, and Chen Lingxi did not make it public, intending to settle it quietly after the birthday banquet. Therefore, Shi Meixue's external identity is still the Fifth Madam, and the guards naturally did not dare to stop her.

Obviously, Chen Lingxi was a little surprised to see Shi Meixue, and her smile faded slightly.

Qin Gu and Pei Yun couldn't help but glance at him. Chen Lingxi noticed their gazes, especially Pei Yun's sparkling and gossipy eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

He waved his hand, asked the two guards to retreat first, then looked at Shi Meixue and said lightly, "I didn't ask you to come..."

"Lingxi, this is the last time I plead with you, please let cousin Ji Feng go. I am willing to exchange my life for yours... or stay in Lingxi Mountain forever..." Shi Meixue knelt beside Ji Feng, gazing at him with pleading eyes.

Shi Meixue has investigated Pei Yun's background these days. This woman is just from a small sect in Beiqizhou, and even the invitation was given by Wei Yuyan. To put it bluntly, she came here to take advantage of Lingxi Mountain's fame. Is such a person worth Chen Lingxi's efforts?

Therefore, Shi Meixue felt that it must be because of her that Chen Lingxi was unwilling to let Ji Feng go.

"Meixue, there's no need to beg him. I anticipated this outcome when I came to Lingxi Mountain this time..."

Ji Feng looked at Chen Lingxi with a mocking expression, "Chen Lingxi, you are one of the top masters in the entire Haoyu Continent, but you actually did such a despicable act of forcibly snatching someone else's wife. I wonder how the cultivators in the world would feel if they knew you were like this..."

"Ji Feng, stop talking!" Shi Meixue hurriedly stopped him from speaking, tears in her eyes, "...It's my fault. My father sent me to Lingxi Mountain for the sake of the family, and I said in person...I am willing..."

Chen Lingxi glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, ignoring the two kneeling people, and turned to Pei Yun: "Friend Pei, it was this man in black who attacked you that day. Now, how do you want to deal with this person? I have no objection from Lingxi Mountain..."

Pei Yun was stunned. She didn't expect that this matter would happen to her. She hesitated for a moment and said, "This..."

Pei Yun was about to speak when Shi Meixue knelt in front of her, begging: "My lady, as long as you are willing to let cousin Ji Feng go, you can ask for anything, treasures, skills, and elixirs. The two of us will definitely compensate you..."

Pei Yun did not respond to her words, but looked at Ji Feng: "I want to ask, why do you want to kill me, is it just because I accidentally saw the two of you together?"

"... This time, being able to go to Lingxi Mountain is the only chance I have found in the past hundred years. In order for the plan to go smoothly and to be with Mei Xue, I can't let go of any factors that may lead to the failure of the plan..." Ji Feng said, "But I didn't expect your strength to be so strong..."

He was able to hold out for such a long time against someone whose cultivation was two levels higher than his. To be honest, even if Chen Lingxi hadn't come to his help, he wasn't sure if he could have successfully killed her in the end.

"... Cousin Ji Feng took the risk for me. Both of us have fallen into this situation because of our family's hardship. I beg you to help us..."

Pei Yun didn't want to pay attention to Shi Meixue, but after hearing her words, Pei Yun couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically:

"Girl, are you trying to use your misery and your love to blackmail me? Did I cause you two to become what you are now? Because you are so miserable, you can kill innocent people? Every step you take is your own choice. Since you made the choice, you have to bear the consequences yourself, instead of shirking your guilt by playing the victim..."

Everyone present was shocked by her words. Shi Meixue shed silent tears and clutched the dress tightly in her hands. Like Ji Feng beside her, both of them looked at Pei Yun with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

Qin Gu nodded in agreement, and Chen Lingxi could hardly hide the surprise in his eyes as he stared straight at the person in front of him.

Pei Yun took out his magic sword, slowly came to the front of the man in black, and under his hateful gaze, he cut off his right arm with one sword!

"Ahhhh!" Ji Feng screamed in pain, glaring at Pei Yun with angry eyes.

"Cousin Ji Feng!" Shi Meixue quickly covered his wound.

Pei Yun turned to Chaochen Lingxi and bowed: "Venerable Lingxi, this is how I will deal with this person."

Chen Lingxi nodded and said, "I said I'll leave this man to you to deal with. I won't interfere. Since you've already punished him, I'll have someone drive him out of Lingxi Mountain immediately... Someone, come!"

Two guards came in from outside the door, and after receiving Chen Lingxi's order, they immediately dragged him away...

"Husband... Lingxi, thank you for sparing his life." Shi Meixue saw that although Ji Feng lost an arm, he at least saved his life.

"It was not me who spared his life, but Pei Xiaoyou." Chen Lingxi said calmly, "You can leave Lingxi Mountain and follow him now, but your Shi family has also come to Lingxi Mountain, so you have to explain yourself..."

"...Thank you." Shi Meixue looked at Chen Lingxi deeply, turned around and caught up with Ji Feng.

When only Chen Lingxi, Qin Gu and Pei Yun were left in the room, Chen Lingxi's expression finally eased. At this time, Qin Gu spoke up and reminded Pei Yun: "This man is narrow-minded and vengeful. You didn't kill him, but only cut off his arm. But I'm afraid he will not only not be grateful to you, but will also bear a grudge against you..."

Pei Yun chuckled confidently: "Thank you for your reminder, senior. From the way he tried to kill me, I knew he was a ruthless person."

"Oh... aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you? After all, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain like him..." Chen Lingxi looked at Pei Yun with interest.

"Although he is cruel and ruthless, he is also stupid! Why should we be afraid of such a stupid and vicious person..."

The reason why Pei Yun didn't kill him was, first, she was not hurt at all, as Venerable Lingxi had stabbed him with a sword before; second, this was Lingxi Mountain, and she had to give face to Venerable Lingxi. If she killed this person, Shi Meixue might go crazy and make a big deal out of it, which would be bad for Venerable Lingxi and Yunshan Sect.
