  Two months later, on a clear morning, the black ship that had endured countless hardships finally arrived outside Tianyin Pavilion as marked on the map. For these two months, Leng Yun hid the ship in the sandy beach by the river during the day and only navigated through the darkness at night, not daring to light any lamps along the way. If it weren't for his peculiar night vision, heaven knows what would have happened on this journey. Several times, he narrowly avoided colliding with celestial beings flying overhead, each time startling him into a cold sweat. It wasn't until then that he realized how wise his mother was to let him ride alone on the turtle from underwater.

  "Brother Yun, Yu Rong doesn't want to part with you. Why don't I ask my great aunt to let you go to Tianyin Temple with me?" After two months of day and night together, the little girl Zhu Yu Rong's relationship with Leng Yun had long been exceptionally good. Now that they were at Tianyin Temple, she remembered that Leng Yun was about to leave, and her eyes immediately turned red.

  Leng Yun affectionately rubbed the little girl's head, perhaps because the little girl was about the same age as his own sister Leng Shuang. After two months of getting along, Leng Yun had already treated her like another younger sister of his. Especially when she was sad, Leng Yun would always feel a pang of heartache.

  He rubbed the little girl's head, and then Leng Yun's gaze involuntarily turned to the mountainside where the morning light shone through the dense fog. According to the map given by the little girl's grandfather, Tianyin Temple was among these mountains, and their current location should be very close to the temple gate.

  Thinking of this, Leng Yun took out the jade pendant. This jade pendant had been with Leng Yun for two months, and he was no longer unfamiliar with it. He even discovered that this jade pendant should be a rare treasure. With it in his possession, his cultivation of Jiuyou Xiu Luo and Xueyin Futu had improved by one or two points compared to usual. However, the speed of these two techniques was still extremely slow, so much so that Leng Yun had thought of giving up countless times.

  "I won't be able to accompany you, but I think we'll definitely meet again in the future." Leng Yun's purpose for coming to Rongzhou under his mother's orders was naturally to enter his mother's family, otherwise why would he have risked everything to venture into Rongzhou. So, he couldn't possibly agree to the little girl's proposal.

  Before long, the sky became increasingly clear, and the thick fog that had been shrouding the river also gradually dispersed. The black ship's strange black color quickly caught Tianyin Temple's attention, after all, it was too close to Tianyin Temple's mountain gate. Under the cover of night, the other party might have thought it was just an ordinary fishing boat, but once the sky brightened, if such a bizarre ship could still not be discovered by Tianyin Temple, then Tianyin Temple would probably have been expelled from Rongzhou long ago.

  One red and one green figure rode two flying swords, shooting down from the distant mountain top, and soon stopped above the black ship. As soon as the two figures stabilized, Leng Yun hastily saluted them, "Greetings to the two immortals."

  One red and one green, two women frowned and sized up the cold cloud and little girl Zhu Yu Rong standing at the bow of the boat. Of course, their gaze was mostly on Zhu Yu Rong, after all, Leng Yun's current outfit was that of a thorough fishing village child, naturally not drawing too much attention from the two.

  "Who are you?" The red-clothed woman among them spoke, her words somewhat overbearing.

  "Returning to Upper Immortal, I was entrusted by someone to send this little sister to Tianyin Pavilion." After finishing speaking, Leng Yun respectfully raised the jade pendant in his hand.

  Upon seeing the jade pendant, the red-clothed woman's expression changed. Afterwards, Hongyun only felt that the jade pendant in his hand became lighter before it suddenly flew into the red-clothed woman's hands. "Huh? The symbol on this seems to be Zhu Shi Zu's exclusive mark."

  After finishing, the woman in red thought for a moment and then very neatly took out a yellow talisman paper and stuck it on the jade pendant. As soon as the talisman was attached, the entire jade pendant suddenly turned into a flowing light and flew rapidly towards a distant mountain peak.

  The woman in red's expression immediately became much more amiable, "Are you two descendants of Zhu Shi Zu?"

  Leng Yun hastily shook his head upon hearing this, "It's not me, it's Yu Rong sister."

  Upon hearing this exact answer, the two women's gaze towards Zhu Yu Rong softened a lot, but this softness apparently scared the little girl, who unconsciously hid behind Leng Yun. Just then, from the distant mountain top, a series of piercing whistles suddenly shook the sky, and an extremely fast colorful light flew towards the location of the black ship at a speed much faster than the two women before. Then, Leng Yun only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a woman wearing a colored dress, looking like she was only thirty years old, stood at the bow of the boat, holding the jade pendant that had flown away earlier.

  As soon as the woman in colorful clothes appeared, her eyes looked at the little girl hiding behind Leng Yun with some emotional gaze, "Are you Yu Rong? Come and hug your aunt."

  Yu Rong was still a bit scared at the beginning, but upon hearing this voice, she seemed to have confirmed something and rushed into the other person's arms, crying out loud. "Yu Rong, stop crying, let your great aunt take a good look at you."

  It wasn't until after a while that Zhu Yu Rong finally calmed down, and the colorful-clothed woman's gaze finally fell on Leng Yun. "You're Leng Yun, right? Thank you for bringing Zhu Yu Rong here safely."

  As soon as the other party knew his name, Leng Yun was stunned for a moment, but his gaze immediately fell on the jade pendant in the other party's hand, which could only explain why the other party seemed to know everything.

  The woman in the colorful clothes looked at Leng Yun with a more curious gaze, and although there was not much content left on the jade pendant, it clearly indicated that this seemingly ordinary little boy could actually enter the Ghostly Gorge alone, and finally even managed to safely bring his niece out by boat. This point, which she herself did not dare guarantee she could do.

  As soon as he heard the other party speak so politely, Leng Yun hurriedly replied: "Immortal Venerable, you're too polite. I'm just passing by and bringing Rain Rong's sister along."

  The woman in colorful clothes seemed unwilling to say more, after a moment of contemplation, she very succinctly pulled out from her bosom a silver bead the size of a longan, perfectly round and smooth all over, "This water-avoiding bead should be helpful for your future cultivation of water attribute skills, consider it as a small token of gratitude from our Zhao family."

  As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in colorful clothes didn't wait for Leng Yun to respond and directly threw the pearl into Leng Yun's arms. However, just at this moment, a cold and eerie voice suddenly came from afar, "Zhu Shi Mei, you actually gave the Avoid Water Pearl to a demon, do you still have any regard for the sect's rules?"

  Just then, a black light flashed from the distant mountain top, and the expression on the face of the woman in colorful clothes changed suddenly. She then hastily whispered to Leng Yun: "Hurry up and leave."

  As soon as he heard the voice, Leng Yun knew that trouble had arrived. The moment the words "Cai Yi" left his lips, Leng Yun didn't think twice and flipped over to jump out of the boat. But just then, a cold and icy growl sounded above his head, followed by a sudden tightening sensation all over his body, as if something had heavily bumped into his back. However, in an instant, a dark blue glow flashed outside his body, and with its appearance, the oppressive force field surrounding him, including the impact on his back, suddenly lightened. Nevertheless, Leng Yun, who had fallen into the water, couldn't help but feel a wave of sweetness in his mouth.
