Jiang Yuanjun squeezed an ugly smile and greeted Yun Lintian. "You're here too, Sect Master Yun."
"What happens, Patriarch Jiang? Why is your face pale like that?" Yun Lintian asked with a faint smile.
The already ugly smile on Jiang Yuanjun became uglier upon hearing this. At the same time, his back was drenched with cold sweats. He was so afraid that Yun Lintian would simply kill him here.
Jiang Yingyue looked at her father, whom she respected when she was young, with a complicated mood. The current Jiang Yuanjun was no longer as majestic as before. He looked more like a defeated dog begging for his life.
"Why are you here?" She asked.
Jiang Yuanjun looked at her daughter's indifferent expression and squeezed a word out. "I just came to see how you are doing."
"Really?" Yun Lintian sneered. "If I remember correctly, you have never cared about her life and death for many years. And the last time I saw you, you even forced her to marry someone she didn't like, treating her like a commodity. Why are you caring now?"
Jiang Yuanjun's face turned unsightly. He didn't know how to refute it.
"Let me guess. You're here because you're afraid I would do something to your clan, right?" Yun Lintian chuckled.
Facing Yun Lintian mercilessly exposing his thoughts, Jiang Yuanjun could only lower his head in shame.
Jiang Yingyue remained silent for a while and finally said. "You don't have to worry about it. My junior brother is magnanimous enough. He won't care about the weak Jiang Clan.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanjun didn't know whether he should be happy or angry. His clan could survive, but it was because they were no different from ants in Yun Lintian's eyes. If it was the past, he would jump up in anger by now.
He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Yun Lintian. "Thank you for sparing us. I promise that my Jiang Clan won't participate in any dispute in the future."
"Whatever." Yun Lintian said carelessly. "I hope you remember this moment well. I might let your Jiang Clan go for the sake of her, but my people are different from me."
"Understood." Jiang Yuanjun responded in relief.
He turned to look at his daughter in a complicated mood and said. "You really don't want to go back anymore?"
Jiang Yingyue stared straight into her father's eyes and said indifferently. "The moment you sold me to the Wang Clan, I was no longer the Jiang Clan's member. This will be the last time. From today onward, the clan's life and death have nothing to do with me."
Jiang Yuanjun wanted to say something, but no word came out in the end. His heart was full of endless regret. Had he treated her better, the Jiang Clan would definitely have become the top clan by now… Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
"Alright." He nodded slightly and took an exquisite box out before handing it to Jiang Yingyue. "This is your mother's belongings."
Jiang Yingyue's hands trembled slightly when she received the box. She stroked the box gently and put it away without looking at the content inside.
Jiang Yuanjun took a deep look at his daughter and said gently. "I know I don't deserve to be your father but trust me, I deeply regret it now… I hope you can live the life you want. Take care."
He resolutely turned around and left without waiting for Jiang Yingyue to reply.
Watching her father's lonely back disappear from her sight, Jiang Yingyue closed her eyes and let out a long breath… Although Jiang Yuanjun mistreated her, he was her father at the end of the day. It was impossible for her to feel anything at all.
Yun Lintian silently stood by her side. This kind of matter wasn't something he could interfere with. In the end, Jiang Yingyue had to go through it by herself.
A while later, Jiang Yingyue opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile. "Thank you for everything you did for me."
"What are you talking about, big sister? You're my senior sister. It's my duty to help you." Yun Lintian chuckled.
He looked at Moonlight Peak and changed the topic. "This place is a bit desolate. Let's raise some beasts here."
Jiang Yingyue knew Yun Lintian didn't want to talk about this further. She asked softly. "Are you going to stay here?"
Yun Lintian nodded and then shook his head. "I'll visit Senior Nangong and Senior Sister Cai first and return to live here for a period."
Jiang Yingyue raised her eyebrows slightly as if she thought of something. "That's right. You should ask Palace Master Han about Senior Hong."
Yun Lintian was puzzled. "Senior Hong? What's wrong with him? Isn't he already gone?"
Jiang Yingyue shook her head. "Back then, Senior Hong sacrificed himself to get a piece of information from Yin Bei and suffered the potent Deep Sea Poison. However, before his death, Palace Master Han used her power to freeze him. It seems his soul is not fully dissipated yet."
A trace of surprise flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes. He couldn't help asking in his mind. "Lauya, can we revive him?"
"It's possible," Lauya replied. "Normally, anyone who suffers poison would have their vitality reduced until disappearing completely. If Hong Wuya's body is well preserved, it's possible to remove the poison and make up for the vitality loss."
Yun Lintian immediately understood everything. With the Tree of Life's power, it was easy for him to "revive" Hong Wuya.
Without thinking further, he spread his Divine Sense and quickly located Han Bingling.
At this moment, Han Bingling was sitting inside the spacious hall, discussing with Han Xue the development of the Frozen Moon Palace.
Suddenly, she heard Yun Lintian's voice. "Do you miss me?"
Han Bingling was startled for a second and quickly asked. "Where are you?"
During this month, Han Bingling didn't return to the Moon Garden as she wanted to nurture the next generation palace master to take her position so that she could stay with Yun Lintian every day.
Even though she knew Yun Lintian had already returned, she suppressed the urge to see him in her heart and continued to finish her work as soon as possible.
"I'm here at my master's place." Yun Lintian said gently. "I want to ask you about Senior Hong Wuya."
Han Bingling immediately understood. "I'll let someone bring his body to you."
"You're not going to come?" Yun Lintian said in disappointment.
Han Bingling curled her lips. "You can play Sister Qianxue and Shen Liqiu first."
