The founding ancestor had only done so after he handed over the position of sect master at the end of his lifespan.
In reality, the founding ancestor had been in seclusion for less than ten years. He felt that it would be difficult to break through and that his lifespan was up. After nine years, he came out of seclusion and passed away.
For someone as young as Kun Linshu to use ten years of his life to imprison himself in darkness and solitude was something unimaginable to normal people.
Fire Phoenix's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the annulment letter.
She was hurt. This time, she was really hurt. The two of them were already engaged and the wedding date was approaching. Yet, her senior brother threw out a annulment letter. How could she endure this? How could she face others in the future?
What hurt her the most was that she didn't know what she was in her senior brother's eyes. Was she something dispensable?
"Master, why did you agree to let senior brother enter the Wu Guang Cave for ten years?" Fire Phoenix couldn't help but question her master as she cried.
Entering the Wu Guang Cave for seclusion wasn't something that anyone could hide from the world. If everyone did this, who would do the work in the Heavenly Fire Cult? Would the Heavenly Fire Cult still play?
Those who entered seclusion had to get their master's permission. They couldn't run to the side and hide when the sect needed them!
"Yun Shang, it was your master's negligence this time. That bastard found me and said he wanted to enter the Wu Guang Cave for seclusion. Seeing him like that, I was afraid that he would be crippled if he continued like this. I was lenient and felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to enter seclusion for a few years, so I gave him my seal. However, I had a precondition that he had to get your permission first. Who knew that this bastard would write this for this old fool! "
Pang Zuo pointed at Tian Renan. "This old fool didn't even think about it. Who in the Heavenly Fire Cult would enter seclusion for ten years? He actually allowed him to carve words on the 'Three Reflections Wall' as proof and let him enter the cave just like that! "
Those who entered seclusion would leave words on the stone wall beside the cave as proof. It had the meaning of making a great vow. The reason why it was called the 'Three Reflections Wall' was to make people think twice before leaving words. Once a vow was made, it had to be fulfilled without regret!
On the Wall of Three Reflections were the words of the Heavenly Fire Cult's disciples who swore to cultivate diligently. After experiencing the wind and rain, the words were mottled. The later generations looked up to them and viewed them as role models!
When Tian Renan heard this, he immediately cried out again, "You're blaming me? I'm just doing things according to the sect rules, how would I know what's going on? He also took the talisman that you gave him. Who knew that you, as his master, would give the talisman to him without asking clearly? Tell me, who is the one who is confused? "
When Kun Linshu came here and handed over the talisman, saying that he wanted to go into seclusion for ten years, everyone was shocked. However, Tian Renan only thought that Kun Linshu had suffered a setback and wanted to work hard. He could understand Kun Linshu's feelings and did not think too much about it. He just sighed with emotion.
Before Kun Linshu entered the pass, he had given this letter to Fire Phoenix.
Tian Renan also wanted to ask Pang Zuo what he thought about going into seclusion for ten years. He took the letter and went to look for Pang Zuo.
After Pang Zhuo learned about it, he was shocked, and so it became like this!
"You let people into the cave without verifying the situation, and you're still in the right?"
"There's no treasure hidden in here that people are afraid of stealing. They're all willing to suffer. As long as the process is compliant, they can enter. Why don't you tell me which sect rule requires verification? You don't even know your own disciple, and you're trying to push the responsibility onto me? "
The two of them began to quarrel again.
"Master!" The tearful Fire Phoenix suddenly knelt down, and the two immediately stopped quarreling. Pang Zuo said in shock, "Yun Shang, what are you doing?"
Fire Phoenix choked, "Master, please allow this disciple to go into seclusion as well!"
"No!" Pang Zuo refused immediately. How was this seclusion? This was clearly to demand an explanation. Did she think the forbidden land was a place for children to play?
At this moment, a fiery light flashed in the sky, and a flock of firebirds flapped their huge wings and flew over.
The firebirds landed on the ground, and the fiery light faded, revealing a group of people wrapped in flames. The one leading them was dressed in red, and had a dignified appearance. She was the Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Order, Yu Wen Yan, accompanied by a group of elders and the sect's upper echelon.
Ten years of seclusion in the Lightless Cave, and besides the founder, no one else could accomplish such a feat. Kun Lin Shu's actions had alarmed the upper echelon of Heavenly Fire Order.
Everyone was shocked, and Fire Phoenix was also pulled up by Pang Zuo, and they bowed together, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
Yu Wen Yan raised her hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities, and asked indifferently, "I heard that Kun Lin made a great wish to enter seclusion in the cave for ten years?"
Pang Zuo and Tian Renan replied together, "That's true!"
Yu Wen Yan looked towards the cave entrance, and nodded slightly, "No one can have a smooth journey. Who hasn't suffered humiliation before? With such determination and perseverance, there's no need to worry about not being able to wipe away the humiliation. It's a good thing that our Heavenly Fire Order has a successor! "
Fire Phoenix knelt down again, and since begging her master didn't work, she begged the Sect Master.
After Yu Wen Yan understood what was going on, she looked down at the kneeling person, and said coldly, "This is a forbidden area, not your bridal chamber! He severed his worldly thoughts and went into seclusion. If you go in, your worldly thoughts will follow you like a shadow, so how can he go into seclusion with peace of mind? I can understand your feelings, but he made a great wish of ten years, and it's not easy. Life is short, so how many ten years is there to waste? Don't ruin it for him! "
She then turned around, and with a flash of fire, the expanding flames in the air once again turned into a Fire Bird, wrapping around the person, and flapped its wings to fly away.
The group of Heavenly Fire Order's upper echelon looked at the kneeling Fire Phoenix. Some were expressionless, while others showed pity and sympathy. One by one, they shot up into the air, and all of them ignited with flames as they flew away.
Fire Phoenix knelt on the ground powerlessly, and was in a daze. She knew that with the Sect Master's words, no one would dare to let her in again …
The tunnel was narrow, and only allowed one person to pass. Two Moon Butterflies illuminated the way, one in front and one behind. Guan Fangyi walked in front, and Niu Youdao followed behind.
"This tunnel is for you to use in case of an emergency, right?" Niu Youdao asked.
Guan Fangyi sighed, "I used to think so, but now that I think about it, it's very likely that this tunnel is already in the hands of the Administration Station."
Niu Youdao was flabbergasted, "The Administration Station knows of your escape route?"
"The road to the left from where we came down leads to the guest room, and it's all connected. If the Administration Station knows of the secret of that room, how could they not know of this place? Of course, it's also possible that they don't know about it because they couldn't find the entrance, and only discovered the problem from that room. "
"The Administration Station even knows about the secret of that room?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't play dumb with me. Do you dare say you don't know about this?"
"Why would I play dumb? How would I know about the Administration Station? "
Guan Fangyi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around, asking, "Then how do you know that I know about the conversation between Wei Chu and Linghu Qiu? Didn't Bu Xun tell you? "
"You were the one who exposed yourself because of your guilty conscience. I found out after a little probing …" Niu Youdao explained the probing that night when he first met her.
Guan Fangyi's eyes gradually widened, and she stared at him as if she had seen a ghost. "Ah!" Suddenly, she let out a sharp and ear-piercing scream and squatted down with her hands covering her head, looking as if her intestines were green with regret.
Back then, the Administration Station had just come to her door to warn her and force her to reveal the details of the conversation between Linghu Qiu and Wei Chu. Then, Niu Youdao, who she had never met before, came to her. She thought that Niu Youdao had found out about the situation from Bu Xun and came to her. After being threatened, she, who had been hiding outside, quickly came back.
Only now did she understand that it was her own carelessness that had led to her own downfall!
She had actually signed the contract in such a muddleheaded manner and followed this guy in a muddleheaded manner. Now that she understood, she realized that he had been tricking her and she had fallen into his trap. She wished that she could bang her head against the wall and die!
Niu Youdao chuckled and said, "It's all in the past. Why are you still fussing over it? Isn't everything fine now?"
"Don't say anymore!" Guan Fangyi, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly pushed out her palm. It would have been fine if she hadn't known the truth, but now that she knew the truth, she couldn't stand the stimulation.
She regretted that the truth was so cruel and torturous. She really shouldn't have asked. It would have been better for her to continue being muddleheaded. That way, she would feel better. Now that she had been so muddleheaded and carelessly sold herself, she would probably be brooding over this matter for the rest of her life.
Guan Fangyi, who had been vexed for a while, suddenly stood up and turned to walk away. She had found the feeling to wash her face with tears. Now that she had boarded the pirate ship, it was too late for regrets!
On the way, Niu Youdao asked her how the Administration Station had found out about the secret of the single room.
Knowing that the Administration Station had already looked for Guan Fangyi on the day of the incident, Niu Youdao finally understood why Guan Fangyi was so vexed.
From Guan Fangyi's vexation, he also understood one thing. Guan Fangyi had mistakenly thought that his visit had something to do with Bu Xun, which was why she could not withstand the fear and surrendered. Otherwise, this woman would not have surrendered so easily.
On the other hand, this matter also made Niu Youdao vigilant. He didn't expect the Administration Station to be so resourceful that they could even dig out the secret of Guan Fangyi's single room. It seemed like he really had to be careful in the future.
The exit of the tunnel was two hundred feet away. When the two of them came out, they were in a small courtyard of a commoner's house.
The owners were an ordinary couple who usually made a living as a carriage driver. It was Guan Fangyi who had secretly arranged for them to stay here.
Coincidentally, there was a carriage at home. After the carriage was prepared, the two of them got in. The door to the courtyard opened and the male owner drove the carriage away with the two of them.
After half a round in the city, the carriage stopped outside the backyard of a secluded courtyard. Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi alighted from the carriage and quickly entered the courtyard through the wall.
Gao Jianhou of the Heavenly Fire Order was in the courtyard. He saw the two of them jump over the wall and appear in front of him.
"It's someone from the Ying King's side, Gao Jianhou of the Heavenly Fire Order." Guan Fangyi whispered to Niu Youdao. Although she had never interacted with the Ying King, she had seen the Ying King and his entourage passing by the streets from afar.
Gao Jianhou had also seen Guan Fangyi before. How could he not take a look at such a famous beauty after living in Qi Capital for so many years? His gaze fell on Niu Youdao and he asked, "You're Niu Youdao?"
"That's right!" Niu Youdao cupped his hands.
"Follow me." Gao Jianhou turned around and left.
There was a pavilion by the water in the courtyard. Gao Jianhou led the two of them there and knocked on the door. He said, "Prince, they're here."
Inside the house, Haozhen and Mujiu were both there. Both of them looked at Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi who came in.
Niu Youdao was also looking at the two of them. The older one was definitely not the Ying King. The other one had his hands in his sleeves and had a submissive look. He didn't look like a Prince either. He couldn't help but look at Guan Fangyi.
