“I told you I didn’t want to go back! I won’t go back! No!”
In Lin’s villa, Li Xi’er hangs up the phone . What makes her angry is her master who always urges her to return to the school .
“What happened? Who is annoying you?” Seeing that Li Xi’er is pouting, Baojia asks with a smile .
Baojia doesn’t look older after three years . Instead, she becomes much more mature . She no longer talks like that arrogant girl whose idol is Wang Miao’e . During these years, the Lin family suffers from a lot of stress, so does the Qin family .
The Zou family seems to be sure that Lin Luoran is dead . They never do anything to Lin’s parents but they vent their anger to the Qin family . The military and the political system are not the same, however, the two systems are able to trip each other . The Zou family is not strong enough to threat Commander Qin so it puts its hand to Commander Qin’s former acquaintances . Everyone who is connected to the Qin family has a hard time because of the Zou family .
You are in the military system? That’s ok . Do you have families and friends? They have to keep a foothold in society, right? How many companies can survive the pressure coming from the Zou family?
This has been elevated from a political game to the matter of life and death . Commander Qin doesn’t care much about himself, but he can’t stand watching his old acquaintances suffer from the hardship . The second year, Commander Qin asks for a retirement “due to illness” .
Baojia is no longer the only grandchild of the commander of the military district and she is not the daughter-in-law of the wealthy Liu family . She is just an ordinary jewelry designer who cultivates — she lives in the Lin family but she never takes everything for granted .
Not as usual, Li Xi’er asks seriously: “Sister Baojia, do you ever notice anything unusual at night recently?”
Baojia shakes her head and looks at Li Xi’er with confusion . Li Xi’er yawns and switches the topic to cultivation . Li has the single Taoist root of gold, and she is qualified to be the teacher of Baojia and Mr . Lin in terms of cultivation .
After Baojia leaves, Li Xi’er touches the “Bundling Rope” on her wrist and she is absorbed in thought .
Her master has been urging her more anxiously in recent days . Also, Li Xi’er always senses that something always sneaks around the villa at night .
… Are these people planning to attack the Lin family?

Li Xi’er feels hopeless . She has been working hard on her cultivation during the past three years . Back in the secret land, she was not as powerful as Sister Lin was . Nevertheless, she has kept trying for three years . She will not give up until the last second .
Though death is horrifying, Li Xi’er resents herself for being a coward .
Also, her master will not watch her die, right?
What about everyone else of the Lin family?
The weather changes fast in the mountain area in summer . One minute ago, the sun is shining; and the next minute, dark clouds may cover the sunshine . Strong wind is blowing . A shower is coming .
Li Xi’er, who was agitated, is lost in her mind . Out of no reason, she thinks of the rainy night three years ago . A weird woman in black came to Lin’s villa and Sister Lin went out at night . Then she never came back… Li’s eyes become wet .
— Sister Lin, I’m so tired . Where are you?

A few miles away from Lin’s villa, there is the Qingcheng Taoist Temple .
If Li Xi’er had a higher level of cultivation, she would know that her master is sitting on one of the old-fashioned armchairs in the temple .
Master Mu is sitting on the left side, looking displeased .
Master Guo is still coughing, and he seems to be in a worse mood .

Huizhu, the superior of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple, is sitting in the middle . An is standing by his side . Though An is young, his demeanor is more and more like the successor of the Superior .
All the people of standing in the world of cultivation have gathered in the Qingcheng Taoist Temple . To put it nicely, this is a regular meeting of the world of cultivation . As a matter of fact, these people are discussing in public about how to carve up the Lin family .
Only Master Mu and Guo support Lin Luoran . However, Master Mu never wants to offend anybody and Master Guo is still injured, which means that he is not able to fight .
Chen Yun, the minister of the special department of Huaxia, is a nice guy who is wearing a tunic suit . He is not even in the level of Laying Foundation, yet he has the power of discourse because of his complicated background .
For some reasons, Wen Guanjing, the capable assistance of Chen Yun, is not present .
Huizhu, Master Mu, Master Guo, and Xi Heng who is the master of Li Xi’er, four of the five Huaxia cultivators in the level of Laying Foundation are here . Though this is a discussion, Huizhu’s opinion actually matters the most since he is in the later stage of Laying Foundation, which is the highest in the State of Huaxia .
The Wen family of Zu Mountain is not absent though Wen Guanjing doesn’t come . Everybody has his own plan . After a few rounds of tea, Xi Heng breaks the silence,
“Is it wrong that we take advantage of a mortal family…?” Though Xi is never a serious person, he cares about his decency . Thinking of the fact that Li Xi’er has been living with the Lin family for years, Xi Heng is embarrassed .
Head of the Wen family smiles, stroking his beard: “Old Xi, I heard that your apprentice is quite stubborn . ”
He stops talking, smiling mysteriously .
Before Xi Heng says anything, Huizhu opens his eyes and says: “Old Xi, you must have heard the story of ‘precious stone lands its innocent possessor in jail’ . We are not going to kill them . After getting what we want, we can also help take care of the Lin family… Also, their foster son is a talent with a single Taoist root . It will be a waste if we don’t train him . ”
Since Huizhu has made the decision, Master Guo stands up and starts to cough .

Master Mu sighs . He has to support his family . All these years, the Mu family becomes richer and more powerful . During the past three years, he has been coordinating with the others, which he believes is already enough — Lin Luoran is such a decent girl . Why doesn’t she have more luck?
Head of the Wen family rubs his hands and smiles: “How about letting my family train their foster son?”
Every school wants this talent who has a single Taoist root . Xi Heng sneers in his heart and wonders why the Wen family, which is the family of swordsmen, wants a cultivator with earth Taoist root!
Earth Taoist root is mild and peaceful . It is nothing like the Wen’s sharp swordplay…

At a nursing home in the capital .
After three years of rehabilitation and with the help of his master’s “elixirs”, the young master of the Zou family finally can stand up .
If this happened to a good guy, it would be really encouraging . But it is Zou Yaowei, who will ruin everything .
He is thrilled, but his enchanting master seems to be unsatisfied .
The power of the blood pool is able to help her heal fast . However, with her current level of cultivation, her broken arm can’t just grow back . The woman in black is too arrogant to go out in public with one hand .
Therefore, she has been receiving transplant surgeries in the capital during the last six months — she asks for the pretties hand with exactly the same bones with her old one . After the transplant surgeries, she uses spells to coordinate her new hand with her body . She is actually not able to do all of these without her rich apprentice .
She has been through a dozen surgeries and finally finds a satisfying one . Where does she get all of these arms? The woman in black moves her new hand . With the power of the Zou family, there will always be a qualified “donator” .
Are they all volunteers? The woman in black sneers . She doesn’t give a shit about this .
“You said you would revenge on the Qin and Lin family . How is that going on?”
These days have been so boring . The woman in black hopes to gossip a little bit to kill time . She really wants to know what those righteous men who are decent on the outside and disgusting on the inside will do when the Lin family is in danger . Will they offer help, or take advantage?
“Master, don’t worry . I have sent a message to my people that they won’t take actions until we arrive at R City . ”
The woman in black checks on her red nails and smiles charmingly: “Very good . ”

The Zhongshan Mausoleum is crowded with tourist .
Underneath, there is the bloody and dark dungeon with a pool of blood .
After thousands of times of gnawing, the lost souls lose their patience in this person who just doesn’t die . Blood rolls in the pool . The souls throw Lin Luoran onto the surface — this person is never going to demonize . They should just throw her away!
Light floats . On the surface of the blood pool, Lin Luoran opens her eyes .
Before enjoying the dazzling light, Lin first checks on herself . A faint smile crawls on her face—
Every stream of Reiki inside her has been refined into Wakan .
It is worthwhile .
