Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

"The bell is in the hands of Immortal Venerable Wen Yu now. You can just ask her for it."

"Thank you."

Li Qingwu told Yayin the whereabouts of the bell in a good mood, and then left happily holding the landscape ornament in his hand.

Yayin looked quietly at the bright moon above his head, then walked into the main hall.

Lin Wenyu was holding her chin, fiddling with the bell in her hand out of boredom.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up at Yayin who was walking in.

"coming?"

"Yes, Master."

Yayin first bowed to Lin Wenyu before walking to her side.

Lin Wenyu picked up the bell and handed it over, and Yayin naturally reached out to take it.

But after Lin Wenyu put the bell in Yayin's hand, she did not let go.

Yayin shifted his gaze to Lin Wenyu, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Master?"

"I have nothing to do tonight, why don't you take me with you?"

After Lin Wenyu said this with a smile, Yayin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"If Master is willing to go with me, I will certainly be willing to do so."

The bell fell into Yayin's hands, and Lin Wenyu stood up immediately afterwards: "Then let's set off now."

As he spoke, he summoned Qinglan out.

Yayin clenched the bell in his hand to hide the loneliness in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But when Lin Wenyu stood on the Qinglan Sword and waved for him to come over, Yayin's expression returned to normal.

"Here we come, Master."

--------

Lin Wenyu controlled the Qinglan Sword and stopped it above the old site of the Xu family.

The mansion with carved railings and jade bricks has long since become a ruin, with no trace of its former glory.

Ever since the Xu family incident, some families who originally lived near the Xu family moved away one after another for fear of being affected by the Xu family's affairs.

The once bustling streets are now empty and dilapidated.

Lin Wenyu controlled Qinglan to land in front of the Xu family's residence. In her hand, there was a stone for lighting. Looking at the Xu family plaque that had been broken into two halves, she couldn't help but sigh.

She had never seen the Xu family in their glory days, but just by looking at the ruins here she could imagine what the Xu family once looked like.

However, Yayin's expression was surprisingly calm. He walked to the broken plaque and looked at the dust on it, but did not use any magic.

Instead, he took out a clean handkerchief and gently wiped the dust off the plaque.

After wiping the plaque clean, Yayin pieced the broken halves together and placed it in a place where it would not be exposed to wind and rain.

Yayin carefully straightened the plaque and slowly stood up.

Lin Wenyu stood behind Yayin, watching his actions without saying a word. But after Yayin stood up, she slowly walked to his side, put her hand on his shoulder, and comforted him silently.

On the other hand, Yayin's expression didn't change much, he smiled calmly.

"Master, let's continue walking inside.

Although this street is deserted, it would be troublesome if someone came here. "

Lin Wenyu glanced at the plaque placed by Yayin and did not move forward in a hurry.

"You're not going to take it back?"

Yayin paused slightly, but he did not retract his steps or look back.

"No, stay here."

After saying this, Yayin continued to walk inside according to his memory.

Lin Wenyu looked at the plaque in front of her, thought for a moment, cast a few small spells on the plaque, and then followed Yayin's footsteps.

Yayin stepped on the broken tiles, but the sound of the tiles colliding was not crisp, but rather heavy and dull.

It doesn't make much difference whether you go in or not. The fire that year has reduced the Xu family's home to ruins. Only a few walls are still barely standing. Standing here, you can still see outside at a glance.

But Yayin still stubbornly took Lin Wenyu to a place before stopping.

Yayin's gaze was long, as if he was looking into the past through the ruins in front of him.

After a while, Yayin withdrew his gaze and smiled apologetically at Lin Wenyu.

"Sorry Master, I was distracted just now."

Lin Wenyu shook her head to indicate that everything was fine.

"Shall we start now?"

"Ah."

Yayin took out the bell, placed it in the palm of his hand, and injected spiritual energy into the bell.

As the light blue spiritual energy was injected into it, the bell began to emit a clear and pleasant sound, which was particularly obvious above the ruins in the middle of the night.

Perhaps because he was homesick, Yayin seemed inexplicably nervous.

The bell rang for a long time, but no ghost appeared in front of Yayin and Lin Wenyu.

"Hmm?" A puzzled look appeared on Lin Wenyu's face.

As Yayin looked at the empty ruins, his originally upright figure collapsed bit by bit, his eyelids drooped, with a myriad of emotions in his eyes.

The hand that was originally holding the bell clenched little by little.

Lin Wenyu couldn't bear to see her little disciple looking disappointed, so she hurriedly stepped forward, took the bell from Yayin's hand, and injected spiritual power into it.

But unexpectedly, after the bell rang, there was still nothing in front of him.

Lin Wenyu scratched her cheek, looked at Yayin who had his head lowered in front of her, and stammered as she tried to think of a reason.

"Uh... maybe this bell has a limit on how many times it can be used?"

"Master, you don't need to comfort me."

Yayin raised his head and forced a smile.

In fact, he should have been prepared...

I should have discovered this earlier when I found out that there was no ghost following me like Li Qingwu did.
