Balala the Magic Fairy

After Yan Lili and others returned to the Qing Dynasty, they went to the library before meeting Zhen Huan and others.

The library was filled with an old atmosphere. Yan Lili and the other two were searching for clues related to the source of darkness.

Zhan Tianjiao was flipping through a row of bookshelves carefully, sweat gradually forming on his forehead. "How come there are so many ancient books, but not a single one is useful?" he said a little irritably.

In another corner, Jia Baoyu was concentrating on studying a yellowed book, sometimes frowning, sometimes lost in thought.

Yan Lili shuttled between the bookshelves, her eyes eagerly scanning one book after another. Suddenly, she found a dusty ancient book in a corner, with the words "Easy to Lose and Profit" written on it.

"Come and see, I found it!" Yan Lili shouted excitedly.

Zhan Tianjiao and Jia Baoyu hurried over.

The three of them sat together and studied the ancient book carefully.

The book records some legends about the origin of darkness, but there is no useful information.

Several people reluctantly put down the ancient books in their hands and were about to continue looking for clues when Yinzhen suddenly appeared in the library.

Yinzhen's gaze fell on Yan Lili, with complex emotions in his eyes.

He walked forward, coughed lightly and said, "Lily, you're back! Did you gain anything from this outing?"

Yan Lili was slightly startled, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, we have gathered all the Twelve Beauties."

Yinzhen smiled slightly, but his eyes never left her: "Very good! Your talent and courage are rare in the sect. The sect master intends to cultivate you more, what do you think?"

Zhan Tianjiao and Jia Baoyu looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Yan Lili bowed her head and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Sect Master. Lili will work hard and live up to your expectations."

Yinzhen nodded and said, "It's just that the path of cultivation is difficult. If I can give you some guidance, I'm sure you will make faster progress."

Yan Lili felt a little wary, but on the surface she still said respectfully, "Master, I am very grateful for your kindness."

Yinzhen looked at her and said slowly, "Come to my study tonight. I have some cultivation tips to teach you individually."

After saying this, Yinzhen turned and left.

Yan Lili looked at his back and fell into deep thought.

Zhan Tianjiao frowned and said, "Lily, this sect master's mind doesn't seem simple."

Jia Baoyu also echoed: "Yes, you must be careful in dealing with it."

Yan Lili bit her lip and said, "Anyway, let's go and take a look first."

At night, Yan Lili came to Yinzhen's study.

Yinzhen was sitting at the desk. When he saw Yan Lili come in, a smile appeared on his face: "Come on, sit down."

Yan Lili sat down carefully.

Yinzhen stared at her and said, "Lili, in fact, this sect master does not only appreciate your talent."

Yan Lili was shocked and asked, "Sect Master, what do you mean?"

Yinzhen stood up and walked to her side: "You should know what this master feels about you."

Yan Lili stood up suddenly and said, "Sect Master, please respect yourself!"

Yinzhen's face darkened: "Lili, as long as you follow this master, you can use as many cultivation resources as you want in the future in the Qing Sect, and we will seek the way to immortality together."

Yan Lili glared at him: "Master, I am only focused on cultivation, I have no other thoughts!"

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the study.

Yinzhen frowned and shouted, "Who is making noise outside?"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Nian Shilan and Yunli walked in side by side.

Nian Shilan looked at Yinzhen with a sharp gaze and said, "Master, forcing a disciple like this is not what a master of a sect should do!"

Yinzhen's face became more gloomy: "Nian Shilan, what does this have to do with you?"

Yun Li took a step forward and bowed, saying, "Master, Junior Sister Lili has her own aspirations. Master, you shouldn't use your power to pressure others."

Yinzhen snorted angrily: "How dare you two disobey my clan!"

Yan Lili looked at Nian Shilan and Yunli with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Shilan and Senior Brother Yunli."

Nian Shilan walked up to Yan Lili and said, "Don't be afraid, Junior Sister Lili. We won't let the Sect Master mess around."

Seeing this, Yinzhen knew it was difficult to succeed, so he could only say, "Forget it, let's put today's matter aside for now. But Lili, this clan leader's mind will not change."

Yan Lili said firmly: "Sect Master, please give up this idea."

After everyone left the study, Yan Lili was still feeling frightened.

Nian Shilan comforted her, "Lily, we will protect you from now on."

Yan Lili nodded: "Thank you, senior sisters and brothers. I will work harder to practice and live up to everyone's expectations."

After a few days, An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and Yan Lili gathered in a quiet courtyard.

An Lingrong was the first to speak: "I heard about what happened to Lily in the Sect Master's study a few days ago. It was really thrilling."

Shen Meizhuang frowned slightly and said, "This sect leader has been acting more and more strangely recently, and I don't know why."

Zhen Huan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "No matter what, we sisters must support each other and not let those with ulterior motives succeed."

Yan Lili looked at everyone gratefully and said, "Thanks to all the sisters, Lili is very grateful."

Shen Meizhuang smiled slightly: "Sister Lili, you don't have to be polite. The road ahead is difficult, and we should help each other."

As everyone was talking, An Lingrong suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Yinzhen seemed to be planning something in secret, and it seemed to be related to the source of darkness."

Everyone was shocked. Zhen Huan said solemnly, "How did you know this? Do you have any evidence? This is a big deal. Remember not to make it public. We still need to think long and carefully investigate."

Yan Lili clenched her fists: "If this is true, we must not let him succeed."

Shen Meizhuang nodded and said, "Yes, we need to be careful and not alert the enemy."

At this time, Zhen Huan looked at Yan Lili and said, "Lili, you have had a lot of contact with the source of darkness. Have you made any new discoveries?"

Yan Lili pondered for a moment and said, "There are still few clues at the moment, but I feel that the power of the source of darkness is definitely not ordinary."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and the courtyard became quiet for a moment, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Not long after, Yinzhen suddenly announced that he would grant Yan Lili the title "Wan" and appoint her as the deputy leader of the Qing Dynasty. This decision caused an uproar in the Qing Dynasty.

Everyone was talking about it, and no one understood the deep meaning of Yinzhen's action. After Nian Shilan learned about this, she was full of worries. She found Yan Lili and said, "Lili, there may be something strange going on here. You must be careful."

Yan Lili nodded: "Sister Shilan, I understand, but since the sect master has ordered it, I can only accept this title."

Yunli also came to remind Yan Lili: "This may be the conspiracy of the clan leader, you have to be careful."

Yan Lili said gratefully: "Brother Yunli, I will."

Meanwhile, Yinzhen was thinking to himself in his study. Elder Yuchun Zhenren stood by and asked, "Master, with this arrangement, aren't you afraid that Yan Lili will be out of control?"

Yinzhen smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "This sect master has his own plans. If she is obedient, it will be a good thing. If she is not obedient... it doesn't matter. This sect master has made up his mind."

That night, Yan Lili came to Zhen Huan's room, and the two sat opposite each other, with Liu Zhu and Cui Jinxi serving on their sides.

Zhen Huan sighed softly and said with a complicated expression: "Lili, when I first entered the Great Qing Sect, I was also given the name 'Wan' by the Sect Master. He seemed to have deep feelings for me at that time and often called me 'Wan Wan'. But I later realized that all this was just him treating me as a shadow of his predecessor, and nothing was sincere."

Yan Lili frowned and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the Sect Master treats me the same way now?"

Zhen Huan held Yan Lili's hand and said, "Lili, you must not take it lightly. The master is deep-minded and hard to figure out. We need to carefully explore the truth. Remember not to believe a man's sweet words."

Yan Lili nodded, a look of determination flashing in her eyes: "Sister Zhen, I understand. No matter what the Sect Master's intention is, I will never let him manipulate me."

At this time, Nian Shilan and Yunli also came to talk. Hearing about this, Nian Shilan said angrily: "This Yinzhen is too much. How can he treat sister Lili like this?"

Yunli frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems. Yinzhen's behavior may be hiding a bigger conspiracy."

Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room became more solemn.

At this time, Liu Zhu couldn't help but say: "Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Cui Jinxi said softly: "We need to think long-term and plan carefully, and we must not act rashly."

Yan Lili looked at everyone and said, "No matter what, I will not let Yinzhen's plot succeed. Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, I will definitely find out the truth."

Nian Shilan nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's work together to find a way to deal with it."

Just then, there was a slight noise outside the door.

"Who?" Yunli shouted vigilantly, and rushed out the door in a flash.

However, there was no one outside the door, only a gentle breeze blowing.

"It seems someone is secretly monitoring us." Yunli said with a gloomy face.

Yan Lili's expression became more serious: "This further proves that our every move is under the watchful eyes of others."

Everyone became more alert and decided to disperse temporarily, each secretly paying attention to the movements around them.

Yan Lili returned to her residence, but found that the items in the house seemed to have been turned over. She was nervous and checked carefully, but did not find anything important missing.

"Is he looking for clues related to the source of darkness?" Yan Lili speculated secretly.

At the same time, Nian Shilan and Yunli were also discussing countermeasures.

"We can't always be passive, we have to find a way," said Nian Shilan.

Yunli nodded in agreement: "It's just that we don't know Yinzhen's specific plan yet. If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy."

Just as they were thinking hard, a series of strange things suddenly happened in the Qing Sect. Some disciples went astray during their practice, and some disappeared inexplicably.

Yan Lili and others realized that the situation was becoming more serious and decided to get together again to discuss it.

"This must be due to Yinzhen's conspiracy." Shen Meizhuang said.

"But what exactly does he want to do?" An Lingrong was puzzled.

Everyone fell into deep thought, and Yan Lili suddenly thought of something: "Could it be related to the power of the source of darkness?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that this guess was possible.

In order to find out the truth, Yan Lili decided to take the risk and sneak into Yinzhen's study to look for clues.

Late at night, she changed into a nightgown and approached the study carefully. Just as she was about to approach the study, a dark shadow suddenly passed by her from behind.

Yan Lili was startled and turned to chase after him. The shadow shuttled through the sect and finally disappeared in a remote corner.

Yan Lili stopped and looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, a powerful force attacked from behind, and she was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground.

"Who?" Yan Lili shouted, enduring the pain.

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness, it turned out to be Yuchun Zhenren.
