This made the black-robed monk look at Lin Qingyao with a higher gaze.

  The black-robed monk unconsciously furrowed his brow, somewhat suspicious, and began to doubt whether he had really mistaken himself. The female cultivator in front of him was full of spiritual energy, and couldn't see any viciousness, not like a demon gate person at all.

  The black-robed monk couldn't help but think, if he really admitted his mistake, what would happen then?

  "Xiao Xiang retorted: 'My sister has never killed anyone! She's a kind person! You must be mistaken!'"

  The whistle sounded again at this moment.

  Not yet arrived at the destination, just a small stop in between.

  The man in black was impatient and continued to sit down, controlling three people to get off the bus with him.

  After getting off the car, the black-robed monk found a deserted place, stopped his footsteps, and set up a small boundary.

  At this moment, people outside should no longer be able to see what's happening inside this small boundary.

  The black-robed monk took off his hat, and Lin Qingyao finally saw the appearance of the black-robed monk.

  The black-robed monk surprisingly had a head of long hair, which was bent into a bun at the top of his head, and paired with this set of clothes, it looked somewhat incongruous.

  However, his appearance is quite handsome, with a sharp and angular outline, heroic eyebrows and a straight nose. If placed outside, he would definitely be a man who can make women scream.

  At this moment, Lin Qingyao didn't have the mood to appreciate the black-clothed man's appearance anymore, because her intuition told her that after getting off the car, this black-clothed man would definitely punish her.

  Lin Qingyao rubbed her temples, this sudden disaster, she really didn't know what to do.

  The black-robed monk did not intend to take action immediately, but instead asked: "What sect are you monks from?"

  Lin Qingyao's eyes jumped: "Scattered repair." The matter of Yunmen was now a secret in her heart, and she wouldn't easily say it out loud.

  The black-robed monk said in a cold voice: "If you don't answer truthfully, the consequences will be more than you can bear."

  "Big brother, I know you're not a bad person and neither is sister. Can you let her go?"

  Perhaps it was Xiaoxiang's innocent and sincere words that moved the black-robed monk. The black-robed monk looked at Lin Qingyao with a cold gaze for a long time, but finally gave Lin Qingyao an opportunity to explain: "Why did you appear at the train station?"

  Lin Qingyao said: "I want to go to Mao Mountain."

  This answer was obviously beyond the expectations of the black-robed scholar.

  Lin Qingyao thought for a moment, looking straight at the black-robed monk: "Senior, I really don't know what you're talking about. The things you mentioned, I didn't take your stuff, and I've never been involved in taking lives. I entered the cultivation world only two months ago, every step of the way has been traceable. If you don't believe me, you can go investigate."

  "After saying that, Lin Qingyao continued: 'You misunderstanding me is not a big deal, but if because of this, you let go of the enemy you want to pursue, wouldn't that be letting her get away scot-free?'"

  The black-robed monk let out a cold snort and then reached out to tap Lin Qingyao's forehead.

  Lin Qingyao suddenly felt that something had invaded her mind.

  There's a feeling of falling into an ice cellar, and her soul is also restless, as if someone is reading her memories.

  Lin Qingyao's heart skipped a beat as this person attempted to read the memories in her mind. The method he used was not the common soul-searching technique, but rather a more advanced one. After searching her soul, it shouldn't cause any damage to her.

  But even so, Lin Qingyao would not let her search her soul without a fight!

  She had too many secrets on her body and absolutely couldn't let others know! Who could guarantee that this high-ranking cultivator wouldn't be tempted by treasure?

  Lin Qingyao struggled against that cold, invasive feeling.

  Perhaps it was Lin Qingyao's persistence that played a certain role, and from the depths of her mind, a surge of energy emerged, like raindrops falling on parched earth.

  Ling Qingyao's invaded divine consciousness was suddenly filled with power.

  "Looking for trouble!" A voice echoed in the sea of knowledge, with a sharp tone and a hint of savagery that seemed to come from ancient times.

  Lin Qingyao's voice rose like a phoenix from the sea of knowledge, igniting a bewitching flame that spread across the sky and earth, as if it could burn everything to ashes.

  The face of the black-robed monk suddenly turned pale, and his entire body was instantly struck open by this power. As for his soul that had invaded Lin Qingyao's sea of consciousness, it had already been refined by Lin Qingyao.

  Even Lin Qingyao did not expect the situation to take such a drastic turn.

  Lin Qingyao's flame in the sea of knowledge did not retreat, but continued to burn. Lin Qingyao suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her head.

  She seemed to see a crimson chain, locking something up. She wanted to see it more clearly, but the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. The pain in her mind was different from the physical pain, and this kind of pain made Lin Qingyao almost lose consciousness.

  A cold sigh echoed in Lin Qingyao's sea of consciousness, and the flames in her sea of consciousness were suddenly extinguished.

  "Don't be ridiculous!" A cold voice rang out, as if scolding something.

  A loud and clear laughter burst out, in Lin Qingyao's sea of consciousness, a bubble rose up, then burst open and dispersed.

  In the sea of knowledge, no more voices came, as if nothing had happened at all.

  Lin Qingyao had heard it clearly, that extremely clear and melodious voice was the same one that had saved her life when she was troubled by the demon in her heart!

  Lin Qingyao sank her mind into the sea of consciousness and shouted loudly: "Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"

  The reply was a long and profound silence, as if her voice had never existed at all.

  Lin Qingyao suddenly felt something tug at her, and her mind, which had sunk into the sea of consciousness, returned to its place in an instant.

  "Lin Yaotou! Let's hurry!" Song Lao said hastily, pulling Lin Qingyao along.

  Lin Qingyao glanced down at the ground and saw that the cold-faced man from just now was sitting on the ground, meditating as if he was heavily injured.

  He used his divine insight to explore the memories in his own soul, and now he should have been counter-attacked by himself, otherwise he would not have sat down without regard for the occasion.

  Lin Qingyao's heart turned cold, and she harbored a murderous intent!

  If she lets him go today, who can guarantee that after he recovers, he won't bring trouble to her again in the future?

  Take advantage of his illness and take his life!

  Lin Qingyao's face turned cold, and with a flash of spiritual light in her hand, she was about to strike the black-robed monk!

  At this moment, Lin Qingyao hesitated for a moment, the spiritual light in her hand dissipated, and she pulled Xiaoxiang with one hand, then followed Song Lao out of the seal, running away without looking back.

  Just after Lin Qingyao left, the black-robed monk opened his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and muttered to himself: "Perhaps I really misjudged him." If he were truly a Demon Gate person, why would they let him off so easily?

  Lin Qingyao spared this person for two reasons. Firstly, she didn't want to become a ruthless killer of innocent people. Although the Xiu Xian world was cruel, she had never actually killed anyone before. Now, letting her suddenly take action against someone who was powerless would still put some pressure on her heart. Moreover, between them, it should have just been a misunderstanding, and she didn't want to take someone's life like this.

  The second reason is that pulling out the radish brings out the mud. This high-ranking cultivator, no matter where he is placed, is a role that attracts attention. If she really killed him, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't seek revenge for this high-ranking cultivator. If that's the case, then at that time, what she will face won't just be one high-ranking cultivator.

  It's been two days in the blink of an eye.

  Lin Qingyao and Song Lao have arrived at Mao Shan.

  The black-robed monk didn't come after her, which made Lin Qingyao let out a long sigh of relief.

  The real entrance of Maoshan is not in the Maoshan that has been developed into a tourist attraction.

  But in a desolate mountain in Suzhou City.

  Of course, it just looks more like a desolate mountain on the surface because of the illusion array set up outside.

  Lin Qingyao and Song Lao have now arrived at a Taoist temple.

  This looks a bit like a Taoist temple in the wilderness, but it's actually the outer affairs office of Maoshan.

  The one who received Lin Qingyao was a small Taoist priest with clear eyebrows and eyes, seemingly just starting to practice, only having the cultivation of practicing Qi for four layers, which was only slightly higher than Xiao Xiang's, when he saw Lin Qingyao and Song Lao, he showed great respect.

  "I wonder if you fellow Taoists have something on your minds?" The little Taoist asked with a smile.

  "Also trouble fellow daoist to inform him, I want to see Xiao Yuan's fellow daoist." Lin Qingyao said in a clear voice.

  "Do you know Xiao Shixiong?" The little Taoist was astonished.

  Lin Qingyao nodded.

  In the end, she just sent Xiao Daozi to report and had no intention of going up the mountain herself.

  Xiao Yuan had just returned to Mao Shan for a short while. He was one of the main culprits in the incident that took place at Chuan Cheng Fang Shi last year.

  The Jade Maiden Sect thoroughly investigated him and his junior sister apprentice, but due to the face of Cao Mountain, this matter was ultimately left unsettled.

  Xiao Yuan heard that Lin Qingyao had come to find him, and without any hesitation, he came out to see Lin Qingyao. It can be seen that he was truly grateful for Lin Qingyao's lifesaving grace back then.

  Behind the Taoist temple, there is a pavilion.

  Lin Qingyao chose to meet Xiao Yuanzi here.

  As for Song Lao and Xiao Xiang, they were waiting in the Taoist temple.

  Xiao Yuanzi came over and saw Lin Qingyao sitting quietly in the pavilion, wearing a green dress. He quickened his pace.

  "Miss Lin." Xiao Yuan Zhang bowed his hands in greeting to Lin Qingyao.

  It's said that Xiao Yuanzi's cultivation is much higher than Lin Qingyao's, so he shouldn't have given such a big gift to Lin Qingyao. However, he remembered the great kindness of Lin Qingyao saving his life, so he was very respectful to Lin Qingyao.

  Lin Qingyao didn't take advantage of the life-saving favor and hastily got up to return the courtesy to Xiao Yuanzi.

  Lin Qingyao still admired Xiao Yuanshu, and when he was fighting against Guiguzi, his clear and calm demeanor was truly admirable.

  "What brings Lin Shifu's sister here this time?" asked Xiao Yuan Zhi with a smile.

  Lin Qingyao didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "This time I really have a request for you."

  "Lin Shimei just said it was nothing." Xiao Yuan Zhi was willing to repay Lin Qingyao's lifesaving grace from the beginning.

  "I'd like to ask for some Ling Spirit Grass seeds. If there aren't any seeds, some seedlings would be fine too." A gentle voice sounded like flowing water.
