Xia Qingyuan was cultivating in seclusion. Naturally, she sealed the palace to prevent outsiders from disturbing her. It was a normal thing and no one suspected it.
As for the destruction of the puppets, Han Lin told Xia Qingyuan to do whatever she wanted with them. Xia Qingyuan could destroy them after studying them. There was nothing wrong with it and no one would blame her.
Maybe it was because of her study of puppets that Xia Qingyuan realized something!
Han Lin didn't disturb Xia Qingyuan's cultivation. Instead, he busied himself with his own affairs.
Days passed. Xia Qingyuan stayed in seclusion in Senluo Manor. She was actually waiting for Ye Futian's World Tree to repair his damaged body. He could have recovered by himself when he was seriously injured. However, he was captured by Senluo Manor and put into the death matrix, which made things worse. He could only use the power to resist the invasion of the power of death.
After he came out, Xia Qingyuan baptized his body and accelerated his recovery. Therefore, Ye Futian recovered quickly during Xia Qingyuan's "seclusion" and was able to move his body in a few days.
But Xia Qingyuan still didn't come out. Before coming here, she and the Little Condor had investigated Senluo Manor. This place was guarded by a high-level Renhuang and the chief of Senluo Manor was very powerful. Although Ye Futian had killed a high-level Renhuang, he still needed to recover to his peak to be safe.
After all, there were only three of them, and Ye Futian was probably the only one who could fight against Senluo Manor.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ying Qing had been worried since she brought Ye Futian to Xia Qingyuan's place. She was worried that she would be exposed. After all, she could be implicated if she was not careful. She was the one who brought Ye Futian to Senluo Manor. She didn't know if Ye Futian would suspect her if they found out. Although there was no flaw in it and she had no reason to help a puppet, she was still afraid that Ye Futian would betray her.
Despite her fear, she still chose to help Ye Futian that day. Saints had strong minds. She had been trapped in Senluo Manor for years and wanted to leave for a long time. It went against her heart. If Ye Futian could really bring her another chance, she was willing to take the risk.
On this day, she followed Han Lin to the You Prison.
Ying Qing and the others followed closely behind. Their expressions were normal. It had been so many days. After Ye Futian was sent away, Xia Qingyuan went into seclusion to cultivate. It must have been to help Ye Futian recover. What were they trying to do?
Even if he recovered, how could he deal with Senluo Manor?
A figure in a black robe walked toward them with a terrifying aura. It was the You Pavilion Master of Senluo Manor.
"Pavilion Master." Han Lin nodded at the other party.
"Junior Mansion Lord, please follow me." The You Pavilion Master brought Han Lin and the others to a hidden palace. There was an extremely powerful corpse puppet here, and the will of death shrouded the palace. Ying Qing and the others stepped back and stood outside the palace, not daring to enter.
"Vice Chief, how do you feel?" the You Pavilion Master asked Han Lin.
Han Lin stared at the tall puppet. This was refined by a cultivator with a seventh-tier Divine Wheel. Back then, they had paid a great price to deal with this person and spent a long time. Now, they had finally succeeded. He looked at the puppet with a sharp gaze. The eyes of the puppet also opened, and a frightening green light shot out from it like a ghost.
"Thank you for your hard work, Pavilion Master," Han Lin thanked him. The reason why he was willing to use some puppets for Xia Qingyuan to practice with was that, in his opinion, the price was not too high. Puppets of this level were the true strength of Senluo Manor.
There was no need to mention his father's puppet. Now that he had obtained this puppet, his strength would also increase greatly.
"Vice Chief, you are too polite." The You Pavilion Master said, "It's a pity that there are too few puppets of this level in Senluo Manor. There are only two. Otherwise …"
Han Lin nodded. If there were more puppets, they would have annexed another hostile force long ago. However, there was no hurry. When the day came, they would refine all of them into puppets.
"Good puppets are hard to find," Han Lin said.
"The puppet that you ordered people to bring that day was actually very good. It's a pity that it was wasted just like that," the You Pavilion Master said.
Han Lin thought of the person he picked up before and didn't feel too much. He said, "It's just a second-tier Divine Wheel. It's not a pity."
"No, I probed the aura inside his body. The Divine Wheel may be at the perfect level, and he is good at the power of life and death. That's why the power of death in the matrix has not been able to invade and refine it," the You Pavilion Master said. "Previously, the vice chief often sent people to check. I thought that the vice chief valued this corpse puppet very much, but I was wrong."
"Perfect level, good at the power of life and death?" Han Lin frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Wasn't this Xia Qingyuan?
Perfect Divine Wheel, good at the Way of Life and Death, peerless talent.
What a coincidence.
Ying Qing's heart pounded when she heard the words of the You Pavilion Master outside the hall. Her expression changed uncontrollably. She lowered her head slightly to hide the panic in that moment, calming herself down and restoring her normal expression, but her heart was still cold.
Had the You Pavilion Master checked on Ye Futian these days?
This was the You Pavilion. Every day, people would go to the matrix, but no one would touch the puppet that the vice chief refined. However, it was normal for the You Pavilion Master to check on it. He wanted to see how the vice chief's puppet was.
But now that it was said, how could Han Lin not think of it?
"Well, I heard that the vice chief gave it to a woman to cultivate?" Asked the You Pavilion Master. He hadn't paid attention to Xia Qingyuan before. The You Pavilion was located in the depths of Senluo Manor. Judging from the entire mountain range, this place was relatively hidden. The You Pavilion Master was also busy refining puppets, so ordinary things wouldn't disturb him. Therefore, he only asked about Xia Qingyuan when Ying Qing took the puppet away.
But even so, he didn't ask in detail.
The speaker didn't mean it, but when it fell into Han Lin's ears, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
"Pavilion Master, who comes here often?" Han Lin asked. He didn't pay much attention to Ye Futian before and only asked about him once or twice. He didn't send people here often.
"The vice chief's subordinate is outside," said the You Pavilion Master, pointing to Ying Qing.
Ying Qing walked forward, controlling the fear in her heart. She bowed and said, "The vice chief has instructed me to take it seriously. That puppet is difficult to refine, so I often come to check on it."
"How many times?" Han Lin asked.
"More than ten times," said Ying Qing. She came more frequently later.
"Did you also bring him there?" Han Lin asked again.
"Vice chief, if I knew that this puppet was extraordinary, I definitely wouldn't have taken it with me. I would have replaced it with another puppet." Ying Qing was also very adaptable. She didn't mention Xia Qingyuan and only said that she didn't know that the puppet was extraordinary.
Han Lin didn't mention that there was something wrong with Xia Qingyuan. If she took the initiative to mention it, it would be equivalent to admitting it herself. Under such sudden pressure, many people would easily get lost and accidentally spill the beans.
Han Lin stared at Ying Qing. Ying Qing knelt on one knee and buried her head, trembling.
Now, these were not flaws and could be explained. It all depended on Han Lin's decision.
Seeing Ying Qing's attitude, although Han Lin was suspicious, he didn't really think that Ying Qing was in cahoots with the other party. After all, Ying Qing had no reason to do so. Help a person who was about to die?
Besides, how could she get in touch with Xia Qingyuan?
There were some flaws in this.
But if they just happened to send Ye Futian into Xia Qingyuan's hands, it would be too much of a coincidence. Xia Qingyuan's disguise was so good that she didn't even bat an eyelid when she saw the puppet. So, if there was something wrong with her, she must have known in advance that Ye Futian had been made into a puppet by them.
However, how did she know?
There were a few things that couldn't be matched.
However, as long as he went to Xia Qingyuan's place, everything would be clear.
"What's wrong?" asked the You Pavilion Master, seeming to realize that there was something wrong with this.
"There may be something wrong with that woman," said Han Lin. Then, he stepped forward and said, "Take her with you."
She was, of course, referring to Ying Qing.
Ying Qing's face was a little pale. She didn't expect that the conversation between the You Pavilion Master and Han Lin would make her a suspect.
Moreover, she knew that there was something wrong with Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan. Han Lin would be able to find out the truth once he went.
Thinking of this, she felt cold all over, but then she felt relieved. Since she had taken the gamble, was it not within her consideration to fail and lose her life?
The You Pavilion Master frowned. The vice chief, Han Lin, had been deceived?
Thinking of this, he also stepped forward, ready to see what was going on.
Han Lin had been very attentive to Xia Qingyuan these days. Before Xia Qingyuan went into seclusion, he would come here every day to chat with her and even used the resources of Senluo Manor for her cultivation. He thought that this was fate. Since it had fallen on him, he naturally had to seize it.
But now it seemed that this was fate, or was everything deliberately arranged?
Were the seemingly otherworldly fairies and goddesses actually so scheming?
Han Lin came to Xia Qingyuan's side. His body floated on the cliff and looked at the palace in front of him. The people behind him were all behind and didn't follow. He needed to confirm first. What if everything was really a coincidence?
Then, wouldn't it be rude to the beauty? Although this possibility was very low, he still had a trace of this thought and didn't want to admit that he had been fooled.
"Goddess, are you still cultivating?" Han Lin asked loudly toward the palace. His divine consciousness shrouded the palace and soon encountered a sealing force!
