“Sister Jiang, Sister Ji…”

When Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin arrived at a blank door, a man suddenly jumped out from aside as he greeted the two girls.

This young man was at his 30’s. Being a bit similar to Ying Canghai, this young man was handsome with white and clean skin. However, he looked more elegant than Ying Canghai. He was the son of the head of Yin-Yang Sect, also the senior fellow apprentice of Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin.

“Ahh, Brother Ying, why are you here…” Ji Yuelan greeted him while taking a look at Jiang Ruoxin.

The moment he came out, this young man had been gazing at Jiang Ruoxin genially.

Of course, Ji Yuelan knew that Brother Ying had a crush on her. Over these years, almost everyone knew that this young man loved her.

“Brother Ying…” Jiang Ruoxin nodded politely with a smile. Because she was too polite to him, it felt a bit strange between them.

“I’ve just heard from my father that you’re back and are going to negotiate about something in Sun and Moon Hall, therefore, I was just waiting for you here…” as the young man said, he revealed an honest smile as his eyes carried full concern about Jiang Ruoxin, “I know you’ve left the sect for a mission. As for the details, my father didn’t tell me. Were you smooth about that? Have you encountered any danger? Last time, I’ve told my father that I could also participate in the mission if there’s any danger; however, my father told me that you two were most suitable to do that…”

Ji Yuelan could only let out a sigh inside, ‘Brother Ying is good for everything. He has a good cultivation base, a good look and knows how to take care of girls. He’s regarded as the Mr. Right by many sisters in Yin-Yang Sect. However, love is strange. No matter how genial Brother Ying is to Jiang Ruoxin, she didn’t have any feelings about him over so many years.’

After hearing Brother Ying’s question, Ji Yuelan answered on behalf of Jiang Ruoxin.

“We’ve completed this mission successfully. We didn’t encounter any dangers. Brother Ying, Sister Jiang, you could have a chat here, I got to go. I’m so tired after coming a long way here…”

After leaving these words, Ji Yuelan wanted to go; however, Jiang Ruoxin caught her hand.

“Brother Ying, do you have anything else to talk with us? If not, Yuelan and I got to go back. I’m a bit tired…”

“Nothing else. Nothing else. I’m especially here to greet you. Sister Jiang, Sister Ji, as you’ve come such a long way here, you indeed need a rest…” the young man said as he revealed a disappointed look. However, he still revealed a smile, giving way to Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin so that they could leave here through the blank door. When the two girls had walked far away upwards, the young man was still watching Jiang Ruoxin’s back in a daze.

After returning to their room and closing the entrance, Ji Yuelan let out a sigh, saying secretly, “Weren’t you gone a bit far towards Brother Ying…”

“I cannot endure anything willingly. Because Brother Ying is a good man, I cannot deceive him!” Jiang Ruoxin also sighed as she explained.

“Is that fate?” Ji Yuelan murmured gloomily.

“If there’s really something like fate, I would hold it in my hand…” Jiang Ruoxin replied resolutely.

“Do you think head and masters will transfer Yin-Yang Sect to Dragon Emperor Big Domain?”

“I don’t think so for the time being!” Jiang Ruoxin shook her head as she expressed her opinion, “However, I’m afraid that head would assign one of our masters to follow us back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain to contact Zhang Tie in advance at least!”

“I also think so! I think we would be driven away by Butler Tang only after staying in Redmountain City for at most 2 days…”

“After we return to Dragon Emperor City, one of our masters would go there for us a bit later!”

“I don’t know why, after handing in the no-hatred tortoise, I feel much relaxed at a stroke!”

“Do you think you’ve owed to our sect too less and would not feel guilty even if you elope with someone, disobeying your master’s order…” Jiang Ruoxin asked.

The two girls exchanged a glance with each other before revealing a smile at the same time…

The arrival of the two remote relatives of Butler Tang didn’t bring any difference to Ying Clan’s Castle. At least, Ying Clan’s Castle remained unchanged superficially. However, some insiders had already known that Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were already back. That got to be the rules of Yin-Yang Sect. In the castle, everyone was playing their own role and doing what they were ordered to do on the ground. Nobody dared break the rules.

Unless the sect held a party underground, when all the members of the sect could forget about their identities on the ground and treated each other sincerely in their real identities of the sect.

Therefore, nobody came here to visit Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin. At supper, Butler Tang sent some yummy dishes to the two girls with a servant which was seen as Butler Tang’s welcome for her remote relatives.

It soon came to the deep evening…

After one’s day’s uproar, the Ying Clan’s castle was lying at the foot of the mountain like a huge beast in sound sleep. Some lanterns were hanging over the gate of the castle while all the gates of the castle had been closed. Only the patrolling guards were on duty.

In this season, there was no mist in the mountain. However, tonight, Ying Clan’s Castle was suddenly surrounded by a thin mist which was dreamlike reflected in the moonlight…

A team of guards was patrolling around the castle. All of a sudden, the eyes of the team leader fell off, closely followed by his ears and nose. After touching the ground, they all turned into blood. However, the team leader didn’t even notice that as if he couldn’t feel his organs falling; instead he kept walking forward.

Those guards behind this team leader appeared having discovered it at all as they were still walking forward. Additionally, their eyes, ears and noses were also falling down one after another.

Closely after that, these guards’ skin, flesh and guts started to melt like burning candles and gradually turned into bloody water, falling onto the ground. Only after marching less than 30 steps forwards, this team of guards had lost all of their flesh. However, their skeletons were still moving forwards in clothes, shoes and hats, leaving a black bloody puddle behind.

The bloody skeletons continued to march forward as if they had lost all of their senses. Only after a few more steps forward, all the skeletons gradually tuned dry and black. Finally, they started to disappear from their legs like sands and dust, leaving piles of empty clothes, shoes and hats on the ground…

Each of the 6 teams of patrolling guards around Ying Clan’s Castle gradually melted and disappeared like candles in this way…

The mist that surrounded Ying Clan’s Castle gradually turned thicker, denser and darker as it fully covered the entire Ying Clan’s Castle which occupied millions of square meters’ territory.
