When Lin Wenyu got up, Lingyun Peak was empty.

Only Feng Qing saw Lin Wenyu coming out and called her twice affectionately.

Zhu Ping'an had already left for morning class, and no one knew where Yayin had gone.

After Lin Wenyu packed up simply, she went to Hede Hall on the breeze.

--------

In the Hede Hall, Du Sheng was sitting at the table with two cups of tea on it.

Seeing Lin Wenyu coming, Du Sheng pushed to her a cup of spiritual tea that he had prepared long ago.

"Master, do you really want to take the child from the Xu family as your disciple?"

Lin Wenyu was not polite and took the teacup directly: "Of course."

Lin Wenyu, who already knew what Du Sheng wanted to say, interrupted him: "Du Sheng, I know what you want to say.

I also know why you want to hide the affairs of the Xu family from me.

If I were in your shoes, I would probably make the same decision as you.

As the leader of the Xuanling Sect, you avoided getting involved in the turmoil and chose to remain silent on the suspicion of the Xu family's extermination.

I can understand why you do that.

As the head of the Xuanling Sect, you have a clear conscience. But as a person, do you really have a clear conscience?"

As Lin Wenyu spoke, Du Sheng's fingers unconsciously stroked the wall of the teacup.

Every word Lin Wenyu said struck his heart.

He did know that there was something fishy going on with the extermination of the Xu family.

But because he knew that this was a huge conspiracy set up by someone, he, as the leader of the Xuanling Sect, was unwilling to let his sect be dragged into this storm.

He chose to keep silent.

He even guessed that Yayin might still be alive through the report of the disciples who were guarding the entrance of Xuanling Sect at that time.

He never told anyone.

Because he understood that Xuanling Sect was the number one sect in the world of immortal cultivation, and there were too many people eyeing Xuanling Sect and wanting to bite off a piece of its meat.

If discovered, someone with ulterior motives might link the Xuanling Sect and the Xu family's collusion with the demon clan together.

The only thing he did was to erase all traces of Yayin's visit to Xuanling Sect and help him deal with several "tails" who were following him.

As the head of Xuanling Sect, he had a clear conscience. But as a ferryman, he could not escape his own heart and the knowledge he had learned.

He once told himself that perhaps Yayin was really a descendant of the demon clan, to reduce his torment about this matter.

But even if he had thousands of reasons, the moment he saw Yayin, the moment he confirmed Yayin's pure spiritual power.

This time he really couldn't find any reason to escape from his own heart.

Lin Wenyu watched Du Sheng's expression gradually become solemn and sighed inwardly.

Lin Wenyu said: "But you also saw what happened yesterday, even if you don't want Xuanling Sect to get involved.

But the person who planned it has already put Xuanling Sect on the chessboard. The incident in Wujin was just a show of force from that group of people.

Their power is now able to reach the inner gate. If we are still like this, how far will they go next?"

Du Sheng lowered his eyes.

After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Lin Wenyu: "I can agree to keep Yayin."

He finally decided to take this step.

As Lin Wenyu said, what happened in Wujin was just the beginning.

Even though he didn't want to provoke others, others had already set their sights on the Xuanling Sect. He would naturally tell those people that the Xuanling Sect was not something that anyone could covet.

Lin Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief. She came here today just to make Du Sheng truly accept the fact that Yayin stayed.

Although Du Sheng gave Ya Yin the jade token yesterday, Lin Wenyu knew that Du Sheng was just a delaying tactic.

Leave Yayin behind first to test the situation. If necessary, you can hand over Yayin in exchange for temporary peace for the Xuanling Sect.

In Du Sheng's heart, group interests are more important than personal interests. Even though he feels guilty towards Yayin, he will still give up Yayin in front of the Xuanling Sect.

But what happened in Wu Jin yesterday made Du Sheng realize that even if he did not get involved and was unwilling to get involved in the muddy water, the person behind the scenes had already set his sights on the Xuanling Sect.

Giving in cannot solve the root of the problem, it can only delay its occurrence.

Thinking of this, Lin Wenyu couldn't help but feel grateful to Wu Jin. If he hadn't jumped out in a hurry, perhaps she wouldn't have been able to convince Du Sheng so easily today.

"But I also have conditions."

Du Sheng stared at Lin Wenyu with all his might.

At this time, he was no longer Lin Wenyu's nephew, but the head of Xuanling Sect.

"As for Yayin's matter, his true identity must not be known to others. This includes his red eyes, which also need to be concealed.

I will give him a suitable identity and let him stay as your disciple."

"Okay, I have no objection to the master's proposal." Lin Wenyu took a sip of tea.

After Lin Wenyu agreed, Du Sheng restrained his aura.

The atmosphere in Hede Hall suddenly became quiet.

Lin Wenyu quietly finished the tea in her hand, then stood up and left Hede Hall.

When Lin Wenyu was about to leave the Hede Hall, Du Sheng's voice came from behind: "Sorry."

I don't know whether these words were said to Lin Wenyu or to Yayin.

Lin Wenyu turned around and looked at Du Sheng: "If you have a chance, it would be better if you tell the person involved."

After that, he turned and left.

Du Sheng looked at the two teacups on the table. One was empty and the other had gone cold.

Du Sheng picked up the cup of cold tea and drank it all in one gulp.
