Back then, the emperor went to war to eradicate Sikong Yu and destroyed the entire Sikong family! If he knew, the person he wanted to eradicate most was still alive and well. Chu Yunxi did not dare to continue thinking about it.
Jun Lingyun shook his head and denied it.
"Father doesn't know yet."
Chu Yunxi felt relieved and looked at Jun Lingyun gratefully. He must have concealed it for the time being.
But Jun Lingyun knew that as long as the Life and Death Sect continued to interfere in the affairs of the court, one day it would be exposed.
"Although the Gate of Life and Death has never done any evil, it has reached out to the imperial officials and touched the bottom line of the imperial court."
Chu Yunxi's heart tightened again. What was her mentor's ultimate goal?
Do you just want to clear the grievances of the Sikong family and put things right? Or do you want to simply overthrow the current emperor's rule and replace the Yunxiao Kingdom with another emperor?
Thinking of this, her breathing couldn't help but become a little quick. What should she do to have the best of both worlds?
Jun Lingyun held Chu Yunxi's hand and comforted her softly.
"He is kind to you. I will definitely try to rehabilitate the Sikong family. I will not let Xi'er be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma."
Chu Yunxi also held Jun Lingyun's hand tightly. She knew that it was not easy to rehabilitate the Sikong family, but Jun Lingyun was willing to disobey the emperor for her sake.
But she was afraid that her mentor had been planning for many years and wanted more than that. Once the emperor's life was involved, how should Ling Yun deal with it?
"Ling Yun, if I can find my husband during this trip, how about I have a talk with him first?"
She had to know what her mentor wanted so she could know what she should do to protect her mentor without hurting Jun Lingyun.
Jun Lingyun's eyes were deep.
"I'm just afraid that he won't want to see you if he knows you're in a difficult position."
Chu Yunxi actually smiled now. Jun Lingyun was really puzzled.
"What are you laughing at, Xi'er?"
She is like a cunning little fox.
"As long as you still recognize me as your disciple, there will always be a way for you to see me."
Jun Lingyun understood. If Sikong Yu didn't care about Chu Yunxi, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to support her in such a big way.
Since he cares, he can't bear to make Chu Yunxi sad.
"Okay, I promise you."
The reason why Jun Lingyun came to Qingfeng Mountain was because he remembered the four Yin-Yang mask people mentioned by the attendant last time.
If they helped him, did it mean that Sikong Yu had a clear sense of grudges and did not regard him, the emperor's son, as an enemy?
Thinking that his father had persecuted such a talented and virtuous person and his family that taught and educated people, Jun Lingyun felt pain in his heart, and he also felt guilty towards Chu Yunxi.
"Xi'er, I'm sorry. My father made a big mistake back then."
"My father is my father, and you are you. I have lived two lives. If I can't even see through this, wouldn't my life be in vain? I will only feel sorry for you. Ling Yun, I believe in you, and you must also believe in me.
The two of us will be able to handle this matter together."
Jun Lingyun finally smiled. This was the best reward for his two lifetime pursuits.
Three days later, in the western suburbs of Licheng, at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.
Jun Lingyun held Chu Yunxi's hand, looked at the rolling mountains in front of her, and stepped in.
Following them were Bai Xiao, Wu You and Wu Lu, as well as the second and fourth servants. Jun Lingyun took them because they had fought against the masked man.
In addition, there was Si Qi. Chu Yunxi thought that Sikong Yu would be willing to meet Si Qi.
For this reason, Xiaolian was left feeling quite disappointed. Fortunately, Chu Yunxi told Xiaolian that she should pay attention to Mrs. Chu's condition at all times. Xiaolian felt that the young lady kept her because she trusted her very much.
The one who was guarding the house happily stayed behind.
Qingfeng Mountain is lush with vegetation. The further you go in, the taller tree crowns block out the sky and the sun, and you can only vaguely discern a winding path up the mountain.
"Master, my subordinates are going to explore the way."
Jun Lingyun nodded, and Bai Xiao took out many strips of cloth and flew forward, marking the path along the way.
Jun Lingyun felt the moisture in her palms and glanced sideways at Chu Yunxi beside her.
"Xier, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side."
Chu Yunxi nodded. She just hoped that her mentor Sikong Yu would not be the master of the Life and Death Sect.
If it is true, not only the emperor, but also all the ministers in the court are in danger, so how can they let him go so easily?
Then it would be even more difficult for her to return her mentor's honorable status.
The group of people walked forward for a while along the mark left by the white owl. Chu Yunxi saw several large rocks on one side with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but look sideways at them a few more times.
The boulders were eroded by wind and rain, leaving mottled caves covered with moss and weeds. At first glance, the rocks seemed strange and jagged, but after a few more glances, the dark caves were frightening and creepy.
Chu Yunxi couldn't help but shudder and quickly looked away.
Jun Lingyun felt something strange about her and asked with concern:
"Xier, are you cold?"
Chu Yunxi shook her head. Although it was early autumn, it was still not cold enough. She didn't know what had happened to her just now, so she was frightened by a few big rocks.
There were fallen leaves piled up under their feet, and thick tree roots could be seen growing out of the ground everywhere. Jun Lingyun carefully protected her from tripping as she walked through the dense forest.
But in such a vibrant environment, there was a thick dead tree standing abruptly in the dense forest.
"Master, something seems wrong here."
The second child reminded aloud that anything that is not suitable for the environment may be a man-made trap.
But what kind of trap could such a lonely dead tree create? The second child couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Jun Lingyun did not stop moving forward, but held Chu Yunxi's hand tighter.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. After passing that section of the road, I saw the sound of spring water. The scenery was pleasant and lingering.
The second child scratched his head, it seemed that he had lost control of everything.
"How beautiful!"
Chu Yunxi suddenly sighed, and what he was sighing about was not the clear spring water, but the fiery sea of flowers in front of him.
It's a pity that they didn't really come to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and they were not in the mood to stop and enjoy the flowers.
"master?"
Not long after, Bai Xiao's voice sounded from behind.
Everyone turned around and saw Bai Xiao with an incredulous look on his face. He then lowered his head in shame.
"Master, subordinates, for some reason, are back to the starting point."
"Master, there is indeed a ghost here."
The second child's suspicion was confirmed and he puffed up his chest again.
Jun Lingyun looked up at the sky. The branches and leaves were so lush that he couldn't tell the direction of the sun.
This confirms that they are in the right place!
Chu Yunxi remembered that the people sent by his father to find his mentor had encountered the same situation.
According to my mother, in Qingfeng Mountain, the master must have set up a formation to make people spin in circles. If you don't know, you may think that you are encountering a ghost beating the wall.
There is a record in the book left by the teacher that the formations were mostly based on strange rocks and flowers as formation points to block the way and confuse people's hearts.
Chu Yunxi recalled what he saw along the road and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Bai Xiao, did you see anything special or strange on the road?"
Bai Xiao thought for a while:
"Back to the Crown Princess, my subordinates actually visited an earth temple."
