When the chess fanatic said that there were changes in the Great Qian Dynasty, Qin Yi knew that he and Li Qingjun, who were living Dual Cultivation and Dwelling Together, suddenly felt restless and wanted to come out. This was probably because there was something going on with Li Wuxian.

Only Li Wuxian had such a strong connection with both of them, capable of simultaneously causing them to feel uneasy.

Therefore, no matter how many ideas they have in the Profound Yin Sect, they cannot stay here for long; they are eager to return home.

About three days later, seeing that Yu Fuzi had completely taken control of the sect, the two took their leave.

With his power firmly established, Yu Fuzi didn't seem to think it was best for the two to leave sooner. Instead, he was surprisingly reluctant to part with them and saw them off all the way to the edge of the rift valley.

Qin Yi looked at him with some surprise and couldn't help but say, "Actually, you don't have to do this."

Looking at the haze over the rift valley, Yu Fuzi sighed softly, "Young Master, some things are not as you imagine, merely a matter of profit and loss and the control between superiors and subordinates, like a craftsman coldly binding together a tool. We are, after all, human, and the most unruly and whimsical people in this Land of Chaos."

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and even Li Qingjun was taken aback.

"I know about the Profound Yin Sect. Miss Li provided many insights to Young Master ... I must admit that Miss Li and I have a very good understanding on this matter. But Young Master, this understanding originally contained many other things, which you didn't do. And Miss Li may not be very familiar with the mindset of our Land of Chaos ..."

Qin Yi scratched his head, puzzled. "What is that?"

Yu Fuzi looked at him for a while, then smiled brightly, "Brother Qi is kind-hearted, and we are not entirely without conscience either."

The "Young Master" suddenly reverted to "Brother Qi." Qin Yi shook his head, not wanting to play guessing games with him, and simply said, "Focus on your development. I hope that when we meet again, you will be at the height of your glory."

Yu Fuzi laughed and said, "With the power of an entire sect gathered in my body, if I cannot achieve Radiant Sun in the short term, I will have no face to see Brother Qi. Why wait until next time? If we do meet again, perhaps I should already be discussing the Daoist Qian Yuan with Brother Qi."

Qin Yi laughed heartily, "You have ambition."

Yu Fuzi said, "Isn't that my greatest strength?"

"Alright." Qin Yi patted his shoulder. "Qing Jun and I will each go to the Sword Pavilion or something. An envoy will be looking for you then."

Yu Fuzi bowed and said, "Brother Qi, you've gone to so much trouble."

After bidding farewell to Yu Fuzi, Qin Yi asked Li Qingjun, "What did he say?"

Li Qingjun shook her head. "Perhaps it's out of gratitude for your magnanimity? Maybe. After all, given the Demon Sect's mindset, if other demonic cultivators had conquered Xuan Yin, their lives would probably be similar to those of slaves. For example, in his so-called tacit understanding, things like kneeling and bowing upon meeting are probably prepared, but you're so lenient. He can't just say it outright; he wouldn't be so foolish as to ask you to be harsher towards him, would he?"

"Judging from his tone, it might be more than that."

"If Land of Chaos prioritize following one's heart rather than purely considering advantages and disadvantages, then I truly can't guess what they're thinking. Who knows what they're really up to?"

Qin Yi laughed it off, "Forget it, even the chess fanatic Uncle isn't considered crazy here. There's no point in us thinking too much. We've done what we needed to do."

Li Qingjun then asked, "Where should we meet?"

Qin Yi looked up at the sky. "Ten days later, in Dragon Abyss City, at Hidden Dragon Temple."

The reason for the meeting was that Li Qingjun needed to return to the Penglai Sword Pavilion, and Qin Yi needed to go to Rift Valley Demon City. This served both to facilitate communication within the Profound Yin Sect and to allow each of them to report their safety.

If Li Qingjun crossed the rift valley without entering, Cheng Cheng would be furious if she found out. Of course, Li Qingjun took this opportunity to return to Jian Ge, and couldn't be bothered to glare at Cheng Cheng.

When Qin Yi arrived at the Demon City, he didn't see Cheng Cheng; both Cheng Cheng were in seclusion. However, he did see Ye Ling, who was acting as his master's representative.

When Qin Yi saw Ye Ling, all his pride and joy at returning home from Huiyang vanished.

Because Ye Ling has also become all-encompassing...

In terms of age, Ye Ling is several years younger than Qin Yi... Although she had already taken human form when Qin Yi started cultivating, Meng Qingying has already proven that this advantage is meaningless. With Qin Yi's terrifying talent and good fortune, it's only a matter of time before he surpasses them.

He surpassed Meng Qingying, but still couldn't crush this little brat.

It can only be said that the combination of the Soaring Serpent bloodline High God the Essence Blood of the divine dragon has an effect on Demon Cultivator that is terrifying beyond imagination.

"Who's that?" Ye Ling asked, hands on her hips. "Take down this spy who's disguised as my brother!"

The Sand Sculpture stood behind Qin Yi, clenching his fists. "Young Master wants you to come with us."

Without a word, Qin Yi stepped forward and lifted Ye Ling upside down. "Wanxiang, you're still just a little brat. What are you pretending to be an adult for?"

Ye Ling struggled, hanging upside down. "Let go, my skirt's flipped down! Brother's a pervert!"

"... You're clearly wearing pants, you drama queen."

"... I am a snake spirit."

"Turn into a snake."

Ye Ling immediately transformed into a small snake with a "pop," coiling around Qin Yi's arm and wrapping back around it.

For some reason, Qin Yi felt a seductive, serpentine waist wrapped around the steel pipe... He quickly shook his head, banishing this unreliable thought, and asked, "It's been seven years, how come you're still so young?"

"I said it takes a hundred years to grow one year older," the little snake spoke in human language. "Do you know you haven't come back to see me even once in seven years? Has your conscience been eaten by Chenghuang?"

"... Just how little authority does your master have in front of you right now?"

"Ever since she started doing naughty things with my brother using both her bodies and wearing a collar around her neck, she has lost all her dignity."

Qin Yi was shocked. "How did you know?"

Ye Ling's small eyes darted around Qin Yi's ring for a moment, then she turned and tried to run away.

Liusu was furious. If she had known that this girl was so loose-lipped, she shouldn't have told her! She would learn from this and never tell Qing Cha these things again. Those two seem to be in cahoots.

"Alright." Qin Yi grabbed her snake tail. "For the past seven or eight years, I've either been running for my life or in seclusion. Do you think I'm playing around? There's nothing I can do about it. When others see me, Huiyang, they should know that I've been busy all these years. Only you, little thing, are completely oblivious."

The little snake, suspended in mid-air, stretched its body. "Don't pinch there!"

"..." Qin Yi covered his forehead.

Ye Ling transformed back into human form and happily hugged Qin Yi's arm. "How long will you be staying this time, brother?"

"Uh, I'll just stay for one day. I originally wanted to tell Cheng Cheng about the Profound Yin Sect in the south, but telling you now is the same..."

"One day..." Ye Ling's eyes widened for a moment, then she exploded, "What are you doing here, One Day? You just tempt people and then run away. You might as well not have come at all!"

Qin Yi pressed down on her head with one finger, and Ye Ling couldn't jump up anymore.

"Strange, this guy seems to have a slight change in temperament?" Qin Yi turned to ask the Sand Sculpture, "Can you sense it?"

"I can't tell you this, because I'm just a Sand Sculpture."

The stone beside him repeated, "This thing..."

Qin Yi plopped down on a rock, interrupting the student's recitation.

Ye Ling stood in front of him, her eyes showing a slight peculiar look, which quickly disappeared as she whispered, "I just missed my brother."

Qin Yi's heart softened, and he took her small hand, saying, "Why don't you come to Dragon Abyss City with me? You met Wu Xian when she was little, maybe even held her? Would you like to see her?"

"I did hold him!" Ye Ling's expression brightened, but then slowly faded. She sighed and shook her head. "Master is in seclusion, so I can't leave. When Master comes out, I'll talk to her and then I'll go see my brother."

Qin Yi suspected that if she told her master what she was going to say, the one who would sneak into Dragon Abyss City would become her master... However, he obviously wouldn't say such a thing at this time, and just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come."

Ye Ling tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did my brother offend a Demonic Path Sect called the Witch God Sect?"

"Yes," Qin Yi asked curiously, "The wanted posters have even reached you?"

"A cultivator from the Witch God Sect, who ascended to the Cloud Realm, came to us as an envoy, saying that if they saw someone Qin Yi, they would be rewarded."

"Then what?"

"That man was chopped into mincemeat by the enraged Demon City's humans. His identity token is here, along with some witch clan Cultivation Method." Ye Ling handed over a blood-red token and a jade slip, saying calmly, "Brother, keep these; they might come in handy someday."

Qin Yi's heart stirred, and he looked at her little face without saying a word.

Ye Ling grinned again. "Oh, by the way, Humble Origins Men is also in Dragon Abyss City right now. If you need manpower, you might as well ask him."
