Under the night, in the sea of clouds covering the top of Lingxin Valley, two figures, a man and a woman, were walking side by side on a flying boat.
These were naturally Ji Miaofu and Lei Xinghe who had just left Yueling Island and were rushing to the floating island where they lived.
Although their faces were expressionless at this time, their eyes still showed a bit of disappointment that could not be concealed.
The mood of the two of them was relatively low, and they both bowed their heads and remained silent.
Lei Xinghe's personality has never been as calm as that of his senior sister. After flying for a while, he finally couldn't help but say:
"Senior sister, we made a miscalculation this time. We never expected that Sikong Yueling would also have the ambition to compete for the position of Valley Master."
"I really don't know what's going on in her head!"
The strong man said a little indignantly:
"Since the founding of Lingxin Valley, except for the peerless genius Li Valley Master four hundred years ago, no disciple who has not gone to the Taoist Temple to practice has ever obtained the title of Valley Master."
"Does what she did today mean that she thinks she is qualified to be compared with that Li Valley Master?"
When the strong man said this, he paused and was about to continue complaining when the Taoist nun beside him suddenly interrupted him.
"Shut up and tell me if you have anything to say later."
When Lei Xinghe heard the words, although he was confused in his heart, he still swallowed the words that were about to spit out from his throat obediently.
After that, the two of them didn't say a word and just went on their way.
It wasn't until the two returned to Miaoyin Island and entered the Taoist temple that Ji Miaofu waved his hand to activate the surrounding isolation formation, and then said:
"Junior brother, you are still a little impatient."
"I think you need to learn Taoist self-cultivation methods from me for a while to sharpen your temperament."
When the strong man heard this, he responded helplessly:
"Sister, please stop pretending. From what I know about you, you must not be at peace now."
When the Taoist nun heard this, her expression remained calm. She patted the futon beside her and said softly to her junior brother:
"sit."
Lei Xinghe glanced at the futon and then at his senior sister's face. After scratching his head, he still stepped forward obediently.
Although the position seemed a bit strenuous, he still worked hard to put his butt on it.
Seeing the strong man sitting down, the Taoist nun continued to speak:
"Junior brother, I remember I warned you before, walls have ears."
"Our Lingxin Valley is the Great Immortal Sect that has ruled the southern part of the eastern region of Tianlan Continent for hundreds of years. Apart from the Valley Master and the others, who are the Golden Core Realm monks on the surface, there must be a lot of things hidden in other places in the valley."
"Perhaps there is such a person lurking on a mountaintop beneath the route you and I passed before."
"If what you said before is heard, it may have a certain impact on you, senior sister and me."
The strong man suddenly felt puzzled when he heard these words from his senior sister.
After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Senior Sister, there seems to be nothing in the words I said before that cannot be made clear to the outside world, right?"
"If it is about Sikong Yueling's desire to compete for the position of Valley Master, since she has already confessed to us, she is definitely not prepared to keep it a secret."
"In a few days, all the disciples and most of the elders of Lingxin Valley should know about this matter. Even if it is heard, it won't matter..."
Hearing this, the Taoist nun raised her eyelids and glared at her junior brother.
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
Lei Xinghe's expression was confused. He scratched his head and asked, "If it's not this, then which one could it be..."
Having said this, he suddenly froze for a moment, as if he thought of something, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Senior sister, you are talking about Valley Master Li, right?"
Ji Miao helped see that the strong man finally understood what he said. He stretched out his finger, tapped the other man's broad forehead, and said angrily:
"Although it was a little slow to wake up, you finally reacted. It seems that you are not too stupid."
The strong man rubbed the spot on his forehead where his senior sister had touched him, and asked with a confused look on his face:
"Why? I didn't say anything bad about Valley Master Li..."
The Taoist nun sighed softly after hearing this.
"Junior brother, this is not a matter of bad words or not..."
Her tone became serious.
"Remember, anything about Master Li Valley should never be mentioned in front of outsiders except when the two of us are chatting privately."
When the Taoist nun said this, I was ready to stop.
But as soon as she raised her head, she saw that the eyebrows on her junior brother's face were tightly knitted together.
The Taoist nun knew in her heart that if she didn't explain the matter clearly today, the other party would probably be troubled and uncomfortable for who knows how long.
Thinking of this, she sighed again and said with a helpless expression:
"This matter is a secret. If I hadn't gone to the Taoist temple to practice, I wouldn't have known about it. After you hear it, remember not to spread it outside."
"Do you know why four hundred years ago, when Lord Li was wandering around looking for an opportunity to transform into a god and break through to the realm of enlightenment, he suddenly lost all information?"
Seeing his senior sister mentioning this unsolved case, Lei Xinghe had a vague feeling that he was about to come into contact with a huge secret, and his sitting posture subconsciously became serious.
"Sister, tell me quickly."
The Taoist nun hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke and continued:
"The reason why Valley Master Li disappeared inexplicably is that there is actually the shadow of the Taoist Academy behind him."
"What?"
When Lei Xinghe heard this, he was shocked and felt the hairs on his body stand up.
"how come?"
"Could it be that Lord Li Valley accidentally offended one of their people when he was traveling?"
The Taoist nun shook her head and replied:
"I don't know the specific situation. I only heard this news from others."
"At that time, there were two teachers in the Taoist school who were responsible for guiding us. When chatting with each other, they accidentally mentioned this matter. Only then did I get a glimpse of the truth behind it."
Hearing his senior sister talking about things in the Taoist temple, Lei Xinghe swallowed his saliva and asked subconsciously:
"Senior sister, you have been to a Taoist temple to practice. Can you tell me what the scene is like in the legendary Taoist temple?"
The Taoist nun suddenly fell silent when she heard her junior brother's question.
Then, she shook her head and said:
"Sister, I can't tell you about this. It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. You should understand the meaning of this sentence."
When the strong man heard this, his eyes showed disappointment.
But he also knew that his senior sister was protecting him.
He had heard of the legends about the Taoist Temple that were circulated, and he knew that the monks who learned the secrets of the Taoist Temple would not end well in the end.
The reason why I asked before was just a subconscious reaction caused by curiosity.
The strong man thought for a while and asked again:
"By the way, senior sister, what do those things you said earlier have to do with me talking about Lord Li in the Spiritual Heart Valley?"
"Could it be that the monks hiding on the top of the mountain in my Spiritual Heart Valley are people from the Taoist Academy?"
Ji Miaofu sighed again when he heard this.
She stretched out her jade finger, pointed at herself and said:
"Junior brother, believe it or not, let alone other people, even your senior sister and I can actually be counted as members of the Taoist Academy."
