I Want to Go Find Little Lin!

"This is outrageous! That Little Thief Jiang Lin dared to defile my granddaughter's purity! I will tear that Little Thief to pieces!"

The Sect Leader the Empty Spirit Sect slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his long beard fluttering with anger.

"Sect Leader, please calm your anger. This matter is extremely suspicious... Sect Leader do not let those petty villains distract you."

Seeing that his boss had lost his mind because of his granddaughter, Elder Wind Gathering Hall quickly reminded him.

Upon being reminded, the Sect Leader the Empty Spirit Sect was taken aback at first, and then his brows furrowed.

"Ya Suo, you're right. There are indeed quite a few suspicious points in this matter."

"Our Sect Leader is wise."

The elder of the Wind Gathering Hall first offered flattery, and then began to analyze the situation for the Sect Leader.

"Returning to the essence, the array formation in the back mountain where Mo Li is located was established when the sect was founded. Let alone that Flower-Picking Thief Jiang Lin who is not at the Dragon Gate Realm, even if he were at the Jade Purity Realm, so what? Unless he is an array master at the Immortal Realm, he can forget about entering the back mountain."

Moreover, even if a formation master were to break the formation, there would still be a commotion, and we would definitely notice it.

Therefore, it was impossible for the Flower-Picking Thief to have entered the back mountain.

The Sect Leader the Empty Spirit Sect nodded. "That's true. So you mean all these things were fabricated by that Flower-Picking Thief? Just to ruin Mo Li's reputation? Wouldn't that be even more deserving of death?"

"..."

Although Elder Ya Suo of the Wind Gathering Hall didn't know why his Sect Leader had such a peculiar way of thinking, he had at least gotten used to it.

After all, everyone has their own expertise. It's enough for the Sect Leader to be in charge at the Immortal Realm. There's really no need to worry too much about other shady dealings.

"Sect Leader, I believe this was not the work of that Flower-Picking Thief, but rather someone else!"

"Um?"

"It would take that Flower-Picking Thief quite some time to escape from my Empty Spirit Sect and return to Empty Spirit City. How could he possibly spread rumors in such a rush?"

Moreover, he alone couldn't have formed such a statement in just one morning; someone must be behind it! It's either aimed at that Flower-Picking Thief or at Mo Li!

The sect Sect Leader of the Empty Spirit Sect gripped his teacup tightly, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long silence, his gaze sharpened like an eagle's. "Investigate! How dare they extend their reach into my Empty Spirit Sect? I'll make you investigate thoroughly!"

"Yes!"

"Wait!"

What are your orders, Sect Leader?

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Have someone sound out Jiang Lin. If the rumors are true, and he really does have feelings for Mo Li... you know that!"

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

Watching Elder Ride the Wind leave on the Wind Gathering Hall, the Sect Leader Empty Spirit Sect sat alone in the courtyard, stroking his beard and shaking his leg as if he were stepping on a sewing machine.

In his mind, he even pictured his granddaughter, if she had really been defiled by that Flower-Picking Thief Jiang Lin, now she was weeping in the back mountains, with a three-foot-long white silk ribbon hanging from the roof beam, stepping on a small stool, kicking her little feet, and saying, "Grandpa, Mo Li 'll be your granddaughter again in the next life!"

"No!"

The Sect Leader the Empty Spirit Sect paced back and forth, growing increasingly fearful with each passing thought.

As for the array formation on the back mountain, although the array has very limited ability to absorb the Spiritual Power of cultivators at the Jade Purity Realm and above, it can still disrupt the flow of Spiritual Power within the array. Therefore, the Sect Leader of the Empty Spirit Sect only visits his granddaughter once a year.

The grandfather had originally planned to go on his granddaughter's birthday, but now he simply couldn't wait any longer!

If something really happens to Mo Li, how will I live...?

"Lili! You have to be alright, Grandpa's here..."

On a mountain peak of the Empty Spirit Sect, a girl who had been searching for a day and a night by continuously releasing her Divine Sense was pale and bloodless, her Spiritual Power almost depleted.

Even so, I will never give up!

I must find Little Lin!

Once I find Little Lin, I'll lock Little Lin in my room and keep her company every day! No one can let Little Lin get into any danger whatsoever!

"Senior sister... we have news about Junior Brother Jiang!"

Just as the girl was about to take another Qi Replenishing Pill, Qin Xiao's voice came from behind her.

Upon hearing news of Little Lin, the girl's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes regained their sparkle.

"Qin Xiao! Tell me quickly! How is Little Lin? Has he fallen into the hands of the Empty Spirit Sect? I'm going to find the Empty Spirit Sect Leader right now!"

"No, senior sister, please calm down." The two junior sisters behind Qin Xiao quickly grabbed their senior sister's long and shapely legs, afraid that their senior sister would ignore them and rush into the Empty Spirit Sect Sect's Ancestral Hall.

"Xiao Ya, Xiao Xiao, let me go."

"Senior sister, please listen to Senior Brother Qin has to say first..."

"Yes, Senior Sister, don't be impulsive. Junior Brother Jiang is fine. He wasn't captured; he's already left the Empty Spirit Sect..."

"Really... really?"

Hearing the news from Qin Xiao, the girl's eyes trembled, and tears slowly welled up in her beautiful eyes.

Her pale face, though pale, was incredibly moving under the weight of her genuine emotions, as if it were the most beautiful color in the world.

The two junior sisters were also seeing their senior sister's pure and beautiful face for the first time, and their cheeks flushed slightly as they were captivated.

"Really... really..."

Looking at his senior sister's face, which revealed her true feelings, Qin Xiao naturally thought she was extremely beautiful, but he was devoted to Senior Sister Mei!

And most importantly... Qin Xiao felt a little guilty.

He heard this news from other monks in the guesthouse.

He was overjoyed to hear that Junior Brother Jiang had escaped the Empty Spirit Mountain Range.

My first thought was to tell my senior sister.

The problem is... when he heard the next piece of news, Qin Xiao chickened out...

In the end, fearing that his senior sister might do something impulsive in a fit of anger, he called on his two junior sisters to help.

Seeing the two junior sisters happily clinging to their senior sister's legs, Qin Xiao felt that her worries were justified.

Forget it, I can't tell my senior sister about this, or something terrible will happen.

I'm going to find Little Lin!

With a delicate hand wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, the girl made a move to leave the Empty Spirit Mountain Range.

"No! Senior Sister! You can't go!"

Qin Xiao quickly stopped him.

Sure enough, what I feared most came to pass. Even if I didn't say anything, my senior sister would still go to find Junior Brother Jiang.

The Empty Spirit City is in an uproar right now; I'm afraid Senior Sister will turn evil as soon as she enters the city!

Wouldn't that mean Junior Brother Jiang would be sliced into pieces?

"Why can't I go?!"

"Because... because..."

Qin Xiao stammered, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Qin Xiao! Is there something you're hiding from me about Little Lin?"

Seeing Qin Xiao's guilty look, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Hahaha, look at what you're saying, senior sister! How could I dare to lie to you, senior sister? Hahaha..."

Lin Qingwan narrowed her eyes slightly, and sword energy spread out.

"Senior sister, spare me! Junior Brother Jiang definitely didn't tarnish Miss Mo Li's reputation!"

Under the powerful threat of the sword energy, with a thud, Qin Xiao knelt in mid-air, the words that had been in his mind blurting out unconsciously...

In an instant, silence fell over the air...

It's over!

When Qin Xiao came to his senses, cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Junior brother, I really didn't mean to...
