Lin Qingyao was very satisfied with the three people's answers, thinking in her heart that if these people grew up quickly, then the revival of Yunmen was just around the corner.

  She finally managed to fulfill her cheap master's last wish.

  "Once you leave the mountainous area, Lin Qingyao asked: 'What are your plans now? If you're willing, you can follow me to my residence to cultivate now. If you have things to attend to, you can go back and deal with your own matters first, and it's not too late to come find me later.'"

  The Huang sisters looked at each other and then the elder sister, Huang Yun, said: "We've been caught for over ten days now. We want to go back home first and see our parents."

  Huang Yun looked at Lin Qingyao nervously, fearing that Lin Qingyao would not agree. Although Lin Qingyao's words meant that they could go home once, in their hearts, cultivation was something that required cutting off worldly ties. If Lin Qingyao did not agree to let them return home to see their parents, they really didn't know what to do and might even give up on cultivating.

  Lin Qingyao nodded her head in approval after glancing at the Huang sisters, thinking that such filial daughters would not have a bad temperament. "Alright, you can go back first," she said. "The techniques have been passed down to you, and it's all the same wherever you cultivate. When I have time, come find me again."

  The Huang sisters felt even more fortunate to have joined Lin Qingyao's sect, seeing how well-spoken she was.

  Lin Qingyao's gaze fell on Wu Mei, and she asked, "Wu Mei, why don't you go back and see your parents first?" This is a common human sentiment. If she had parents, after such a big incident, the first thing she would think of after escaping would be to see her own parents.

  Who would have thought that Wu Mei shook her head repeatedly, and there was no hint of wanting to go home in her expression.

  Lin Qingyao looked at Wu Mei with a puzzled expression. If she didn't even care about the affection between parents and children, then Lin Qingyao would have to think carefully about what to do with Wu Mei in the future. A person who had no feelings for her own parents could hardly be expected to show loyalty and righteousness towards Yunmen.

  Lin Qingyao had this idea in her mind, but she didn't make a final judgment. She thought to herself that maybe Wu Mei had some bitter intentions and might be just like herself, an orphan with no parents.

  Lin Qingyao asked in a soft voice: "Sister Wu, don't you miss your own parents?"

  Wu Mei bit her lip: "Don't want to."

  "Are you also an orphan?" Lin Qingyao thought of her own days in the orphanage, and her heart felt a pang.

  "It's not... I have parents." Wu Mei said this and her eyes became moist, looking as if she was about to cry.

  Lin Qingyao said seriously: "Your parents are not good to you?" After all, not every parent in the world will love their children, for example Xu Ran, who has a biological father but is worse than an animal and would be better off without one.

  Lin Qingyao's words struck Wu Mei's heart: "Sister, I beg of you, take me with you, don't make me go home." As she spoke, Wu Mei burst into tears.

  Wu Meiseng's slender and weak appearance gives people a feeling of being as fragile as a willow in the wind. These past few days, she has lost too much blood, her face is deathly pale, and now that she's crying, it's really pitiful.

  It was a winter day, and the cool breeze blew on Wu Mei's tears, making her face icy cold.

  Wu Mei thought of her own heart-chilling home and didn't want to go back at all, but if she didn't go back, she didn't know where else to go, so she looked at Lin Qingyao with pleading eyes.

  Lin Qingyao took a glance at Wu Mei's thin and dusty clothes, sighed, and suddenly seemed to understand. Who would wear such thin clothes on a winter day? Even if it was for beauty, someone might wear less, but the clothes Wu Mei wore were obviously old... It seems that Wu Mei's family also has a difficult-to-read scripture.

  Although Lin Qingyao was acting on the principle of caution, wanting to investigate their origins and character, she couldn't bear to mention Wu Mei's painful past, so she hastily said in a warm voice: "Don't cry first, let's hurry back, I'll make you something to eat, and nourish your body."

  After leaving the deep mountains, Lin Qingyao's mobile phone had a signal. She checked that it still had battery and then called Xu Ran to come pick her up.

  The Huang sisters left before Lin Qingyao and the others, so when Xu Ran drove over, only Wu Mei, Li Yu, and Lin Qingyao were left.

  Xu Ran pulled over the Land Rover and hastily got out of the car, running to Lin Qingyao's side: "Qingyao!" He had just gotten his driver's license, so he didn't dare drive too fast, which made Lin Qingyao wait for a while, and he felt a little guilty about it.

  Xu Ran's tone was urgent, Lin Qingyao didn't make a sound and disappeared for several days. Xu Ran and Song Lao were worried to death, especially Xiao Xiang, who cried with worry, fearing that Lin Qingyao would encounter an accident.

  Feeling Xu Ran's concern, Lin Qingyao burst out laughing: "Take me home quickly."

  Supporting Li Yu who was still dizzy, they got on the car.

  Wu Mei, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment and refused to come up.

  Lin Qingyao poked her head out of the carriage, asking in confusion: "Wu Shijie, what's wrong? The mountain wind is strong here, let's go back early, hurry up and get on the carriage."

  Wu Mei rubbed her hands together and said: "This car is so good, I'm really dirty, it's just that..."

  Xu Ran didn't know who Wu Mei was, but it could be seen that she should be Lin Qingyao's friend, so he smiled and said: "Miss, come up quickly."

  Wu Mei sat nervously in the car, although this was her first time driving a sedan, in Wu Mei's heart, sedans were always out of her reach.

  "Sister, are you very rich?" Wu Mei asked nervously.

  Lin Qingyao explained: "Junior sister, from now on you are a part of the cultivation world. I will slowly tell you about the things in the cultivation world. As cultivators, what we need is spiritual stones, not money... No matter how much money there is, it's useless for cultivation."

  "Hmm..." Leaning against Lin Qingyao's body, Li Yu suddenly moved and opened his eyes.

  "Qingyao, where is this? Hmm... wasn't I on my way to find you? Did you just happen to run into me? But how come I don't remember getting in your car......" Li Yu felt that his brain was now as messy as a pot of porridge.

  Lin Qingyao casually told a lie and said with a tone of "hating iron for not becoming steel": "You still have the nerve to say that!"

  Li Yu was stunned by Lin Qingyao's expression and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

  Lin Qingyao continued with an unchanged expression: "You were knocked unconscious, then you were kidnapped and almost sold as a daughter-in-law."

  "What! Such a thing actually happened!" Li Yu suddenly exclaimed.

  Wu Mei, who was standing aside, almost burst out laughing at this scene.

  "You've woken up, why don't you give your dad a call? He's almost worried to death." Lin Qingyao hastily changed the subject.

  Telling lies is still quite difficult for her when it comes to opening up.

  Lin Qingyao didn't feel at ease letting the weak Li Yu go back by himself, so he had Xu Ran take a detour and send Li Yu to his doorstep.

  When the car arrived at Liu Hutong, Wu Mei curiously looked out of the window and saw that Lin Qingyao's residence was a large area of bungalows. She let out a long sigh of relief, she really feared that Lin Qingyao lived in an apartment building.

  She was from a rural area and felt uneasy about living in a place where her feet couldn't touch the ground.

  Lin Qingyao walked into her own courtyard, let out a long sigh of relief, it's great to be back home! This time she was also considered to have narrowly escaped death!

  "Master Song! Xiao Xiang! I'm back!" Lin Qingyao said loudly.

  Xiao Xiang heard the news and jumped out of the well in the backyard, she was just cultivating, now hearing that Lin Qingyao is back, it can be said that she is extremely happy, how can she still cultivate calmly?

  Xiao Xiang ran over with red eyes: "Sister, you're finally back, I was so worried." In Xiao Xiang's innocent childlike voice, there was unconcealed concern.

  Lin Qingyao smiled and patted Xiaoxiang's head: "Xiaoxiang, don't worry, sister is back. You don't have to worry anymore."

  "Lin Yaotou, I said you have a good fortune and won't have any troubles. Xiao Xiang and Xu Ran are always frowning every day, if you don't come back, this old man will be driven mad!" Song Lao laughed loudly.

  These days, Song Lao has been the most hardworking. He tried every means to find someone, but he didn't know where Lin Qingyao went, so where could he look?

  Lin Qingyao smiled as she looked at this big family of hers. Although it could be said that these people and she didn't have any blood relations, the emotional bonds between them were truly precious.

  Lin Qingyao glanced at Wu Mei, who was standing behind her in a daze, and said: "Master Song, this is Wu Mei. She's now considered a registered disciple of Yunmen Sect. After some time, I'll bring her and Xu Ran together to Yunmen Sect to pay respects to the ancestors and then she'll be officially admitted into Yunmen Sect."

  Song Lao looked at Wu Mei with a glance, smiled and nodded: "Just call me Song Lao." He then took out a dagger from his storage bag and handed it to Wu Mei.

  Wu Mei didn't dare reach out to take it, she was still a bit shy.

  Lin Qingyao's eyes curved into a crescent moon as she joked: "Old Song, you're really biased. You never gave me a meeting gift before."

  Then she turned around and said to Wu Mei: "Sister, you take it. This is a meeting gift from Master Song to you, but it's also a magical artifact."

  Song Lao stroked his beard and smiled: "Lin Yaotou, it's not that I don't want to give you things, but I'm afraid if I do, you'll look down on them."

  Lin Qingyao was just joking, and Song Lao said so, it's as if this matter has been settled.

  Lin Qingyao handed Wu Mei over to Song Lao, letting him tell Wu Mei about cultivation matters. As for herself, she jumped down into the ice well in the backyard. After this ordeal, her heart gained some insight, seemingly having touched the barrier of the sixth layer of Qi Refining.
