The Sword Sect.
Lou Yunxiao sat beneath the purple osmanthus tree, from sunset until the full moon rose.
The Clear Mind Heart Sutra rested on the stone table beside him.
A few petals had fallen onto it.
He kept turning over Yin Feng's words, Abbot Wujue's suspicions, and everything his sister, A Ke, and Mingxin had said and done around him.
Why did Yin Feng attach such importance to me?
Why was Yin Feng looking for clues about the Demon Venerable in me?
There were far too many things about this Demon Clan guardian's behavior that defied reason.
And Yin Feng's final laugh had carried a note of mockery.
He had heard it.
Yet he had no idea why the man had acted that way.
So many questions weighed on Lou Yunxiao's heart, leaving him restless and troubled.
He could not help rubbing his forehead.
Then he picked up the Clear Mind Heart Sutra, reading and memorizing it page by page.
This was what A Ke had left him before departing.
Even if that man had deceived him at every turn, he still wanted to finish everything A Ke had asked him to do.
As for the Demon Venerable, he would have to see for himself before deciding what was true.
Now that his strength was nearly equal to the Demon Venerable's, the next time they met, he would ask every last question weighing on his mind, one by one.

The system notification sounded.
Ning Ke stepped back, evading the Sun God's attack.
Frowning, he asked, What is the transition event?
``` [I don't know,] Xiao
