Don't Pursue the Matter

The Grand Elder panicked upon learning of the Water Lotus Sect Master's death. Although he still didn't want to admit to the exchange between himself and the Water Lotus Sect, his denials were no longer effective.

Finally, the Grand Elder admitted it, kneeling down and begging for mercy, even acknowledging that Guo Ling'er was his daughter, hoping they could leave together.

Now the East Mountain Sect Master and the others finally understood why the Grand Elder treated Guo Ling'er so well—it turned out she was his daughter. However, they didn't know the details of the story behind it all. The Grand Elder admitted that Guo Ling'er knew nothing; she was simply malicious. He hoped they wouldn't pursue the matter further.

In the end, the East Mountain Sect Master only agreed to expel Guo Ling'er from the East Mountain Sect.

The Grand Elder, having betrayed the East Mountain Sect, has no chance of survival.

Ultimately, the Grand Elder was eliminated by the East Mountain Sect Master, and Guo Ling'er was exiled.

Guo Ling'er was driven away without even knowing what had happened.

She had offended too many people, both East Mountain Sect and East Mountain Sect the East Mountain Gate. Many people disliked her. She was only safe because the Grand Elder was around. Now that the Grand Elder was gone and could no longer protect her, Guo Ling'er was soon discovered to have perished. However, no one knew who did it.

It's entirely possible that Guo Ling'er has offended anyone; who knows who it might be?

Of course, I didn't pay attention to it at that moment.

Everything returned to normal at the East Mountain Sect. The sect leader went to tell the people from the Water Lotus Sect what had happened. Water Lotus Sect did not pursue the matter. They had also noticed that the sect leader was acting strangely, and they did not want to get involved in any disputes, especially since the sect leader was gone.

So the Water Lotus Sect acted as if nothing had happened, and the East Mountain Sect didn't say anything to the outside world either. They simply announced that Qin Yingyue hadn't gone to the Secret Realm at all. They did this in order to find the traitor within the East Mountain Sect who was targeting Qin Yingyue, namely the Grand Elder.

The Cultivator discussed it for a while, but only for a short time before forgetting about it.

Yuan Qing and the Xiao Family's Great Elder were also found by the Xiao Household. Naturally, the Xiao Household would not spare them. Under the influence of the Xiao Family's Great Elder, Yuan Qing also developed a deep hatred for the Xiao Household. In the end, Yuan Qing and the Grand Elder were no match for the Xiao family and perished.

To express their gratitude to Su Zhan, both the Xiao Household and Pavilion Master Qin presented him with generous gifts.

Su Zhan originally didn't want to accept it; it was purely a favor between friends. But they insisted so much that Su Zhan had no choice but to accept it.

And so Su Zhan's career as a bodyguard came to an end. Qin Yingyue no longer needed to hide, and he no longer needed to stay by her side.

When Su Zhan left East Mountain Sect, he didn't say goodbye to anyone. It wasn't until several days later that everyone realized Su Zhan had left.

No one knows where Su Zhan went, and although it was regrettable, no one made a special effort to look for him.

Madam Zizhu, however, stayed behind at the Yingyue Pavilion.

Su Zhan left this realm and set foot on new land.

But then he saw a familiar person, though this time it wasn't Madam Zizhu, but someone who puzzled Su Zhan.

Guo Ling'er.

Didn't Guo Ling'er perish?

How did I get here?

However, upon closer inspection, while she does resemble Guo Ling'er in appearance, there are still slight differences in her features. Could there truly be people in the world who look so alike?

Su Zhan suspected they were twins, but he didn't think about it or ask, after all, Guo Ling'er was insignificant, as was this person.

The other person was taken aback when they saw him, and then walked over.

"Senior, are you heading to Green Water City?"

All you can see here is Desert.
