"Sect Head, Qin Xiaoyu requests an audience."
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside.
Qin Zhong didn't expect Qin Xiaoyu to return to the sect right after he spoke. He immediately said, "Let her in."
After entering, Qin Xiaoyu knelt in front of Qin Zhong. "Sect Head, I was wrong. I couldn't protect Senior Yuande."
Qin Zhong sighed, then said, "Stand up. This isn't your fault."
"Thank you, Sect Head." After speaking, Qin Xiaoyu stood up and silently stood in front of Qin Zhong.
Looking at Qin Xiaoyu, Qin Zhong felt that she seemed to have changed a bit. With her usual relationship with Su Yuande, she should have immediately asked him, the sect head, to send people to avenge Su Yuande.
However, he felt that Qin Xiaoyu's reaction was different from before due to the shock she received. So, he didn't put it to heart and said, "Xiaoyu, Elder Song and Elder Shen are preparing to head to the Central Region to deal with Linlong, who killed your Senior Yuande. Later on, Wu Qing and I discussed it and felt that you should also go with them."
Hearing those words, Qin Xiaoyu's body clearly trembled. Then, she said, "Sect Head, what do you want me to do?"
"You can pretend to be subdued by his charm and get close to him. Then, find a suitable opportunity to kill him. I heard from Wu Qing that Linlong has a calamity in his affinity with women. That's why I want you to do this," Qin Zhong said.
"This …" Qin Xiaoyu was immediately dumbfounded.
"What is it? Xiaoyu, is there a problem?" Qin Zhong immediately asked.
"No." Qin Xiaoyu lightly shook her head.
Qin Zhong couldn't help sighing. "I know this is making things difficult for you, but for the future of the sect, you must do this. You must know that because of Linlong, seven Martial Lords have already died by his hands."
"What?" Qin Xiaoyu widened her eyes in disbelief.
After returning to the school, she immediately came to the palace. She simply didn't know that seven Martial Lords in the school died by Linlong's hands.
Qin Zhong immediately told her everything in detail.
Hearing those words, Qin Xiaoyu's expression dimmed. Then, she suddenly raised her head and said very firmly, "Sect Head, I promise I will complete this mission."
"That's good." Qin Zhong nodded and said, "Then hurry up and get ready. Perhaps you'll be able to catch up to Elder Song and the others."
"Yes." After bowing respectfully, Qin Xiaoyu turned around and walked out.
"Xiaoyu is not bad." Looking at Qin Xiaoyu's back, Qin Zhong nodded his head in affirmation.
"However, Sect Master, you still have to make a trip to Yue Tianshan," Wu Qing said.
A bitter smile immediately appeared on Qin Zhong's face as he said, "Wu Qing, I understand. Don't worry, I'll go right now."
Not long after, Qin Zhong strode out of the main hall and headed down the mountain.
Due to the fact that Qin Zhong was often alone, the Yin Sifting Sect disciples weren't surprised to see him leave the sect by himself.
The Yin Sifting Sect wasn't far from the High Peak Mountain. For a powerful being like Qin Zhong, it would only take him the time it took for an incense stick to burn to arrive.
However, this short distance felt like an eternity to him.
The High Peak Mountain was just a small mountain and it wasn't very famous. There was a small nunnery on the mountain that only had a dozen or so nuns. Ever since he had a conflict with his junior sister, she had been staying there to cultivate.
When he arrived at the entrance of the nunnery, a nun immediately ran into the nunnery in a panic. After a while, a nun in her forties walked out with a horsetail whisk in her hand.
"Benefactor Qin, this nunnery doesn't welcome you. Please leave." The middle-aged nun said indifferently.
Qin Zhong knew that she was the abbot of this nunnery. Her Buddhist name was Falling Dust.
"Master Falling Dust, I, Qin Zhong, have no choice. The Yin Sifting Sect has encountered a troublesome matter recently and I need my junior sister's help." Qin Zhong smiled bitterly.
"Benefactor Qin …"
Falling Dust still wanted to say something, but a cold but very sweet-sounding voice sounded behind him. "Master, let me talk to him."
Soon after, a fairy-like woman dressed in white walked out.
Seeing this woman, a smile immediately appeared on Qin Zhong's face. "Junior Sister."
Falling Dust nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, he turned around and walked back inside.
The white-clothed woman, Situ Feng, shook her head and said, "Benefactor Qin, you and I are no longer senior brother and junior sister. Please don't call me that in the future."
She looked to be in her twenties, much younger than Qin Zhong.
"Junior Sister, a few years ago, I chased your sworn sister out of the Yin Sifting Sect, causing her to encounter a thief and die. This was all my fault. Senior Brother has been repenting for the past few years. I know that my sins are grave, so I don't ask for your forgiveness." Qin Zhong smiled bitterly as he looked at Situ Feng.
A few years ago, because of his stubbornness, Situ Feng's sworn sister met with such an accident. As a result, Situ Feng hated him and left the Yin Sifting Sect to come to this nunnery.
"Since Senior Brother doesn't ask for forgiveness, then why did you come here?" Situ Feng's face was expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
"The Yin Sifting Sect has encountered a troublesome matter. It's a long story …" After sighing, Qin Zhong told her everything in detail.
Hearing that the Yin Sifting Sect had lost a genius and seven late-stage Martial Lords in a short few days, Situ Feng, who no longer considered herself a part of the Yin Sifting Sect, revealed an expression of shock.
Seeing Situ Feng's expression, Qin Zhong hurriedly said, "Junior Sister, seeing that you were once master's beloved disciple, please help the Yin Sifting Sect and me this time."
Situ Feng's face turned cold. "They only have the strength of a mid-stage Martial Lord. Benefactor Qin, as a Martial Overlord, are you worried that they will attack the Yin Sifting Sect?"
"Junior Sister, to be honest, this is Prophet Wu Qing's plan," Qin Zhong said.
"Wu Qing?" Upon hearing this, Situ Feng's expression immediately changed.
As a prophet, Wu Qing was someone that even her master greatly respected when he was alive. Since Wu Qing said such a thing, he must have his reasons. It was no wonder that Qin Zhong came even though he knew she hated him.
"Junior Sister, what do you think?" Qin Zhong hurriedly asked.
"For master's sake, I will consider it. However, I will not appear as a member of the Yin Sifting Sect again. I hope that Benefactor Qin will remember this," Situ Feng said.
"No problem." Qin Zhong's face immediately revealed a joyful expression.
It was fine as long as Situ Feng appeared. As for whether or not she would appear as a member of the Yin Sifting Sect, he couldn't care that much.
"Alright, Benefactor Qin, please return. I will consider it for a while longer," Situ Feng said again.
Although his Junior Sister said that she would consider it, he knew that with his Junior Sister's personality, she was already thinking about how to act even though she said it.
Of course, there was still something important that he didn't say. So, he said again, "However, Junior Sister, I still have something to say."
"What is it?"
"Wu Qing said that Linlong will face a calamity when it comes to women. So, he hopes that Junior Sister will use some … beauty in critical moments," Qin Zhong said a bit awkwardly.
Situ Feng's delicate brows immediately furrowed when she heard those words.
"Cough cough cough, Junior Sister, you can consider it yourself when the time comes. I will be leaving first." After speaking, Qin Zhong quickly turned around and walked down the mountain.
He had already said what he needed to say. He did not want to wait for his junior sister's possible eruption of anger.
