Chapter 1313: Shocking Conspiracy

nds.Lan Ri smiled, took the newspaper, and tossed a silver coin into the maid's arms. She said with a smile:"Keep it safe, don't let anyone steal it."The little girl didn't expect this beautiful aunt...The confusion of the whirlwind is also the confusion of ripples. For these cultivators, sensing the energy of heaven and earth is the most basic thing. Now that ghosts fly all over the sky, don't they see them If they can't see them, can they not sense them

She has collected many wandering souls into her space along the way. Wen Yu Lian even began to doubt her.

Maybe something happened there, that's why I insisted on coming to Kunshan with Wen Yulian. At least I need to know the reason, otherwise, I can't cope.

Ripple knelt down and patted Feng's head. She looked up at Wen Yu Lian and said:

"Let's get going as soon as possible! We need to reach the summit before dark. Cyclone said he was fine and wouldn't fall behind."

Okay, let's go!

Two people and a cat followed the mountain-climbing team, starting their ascent to the summit. Gradually, they distanced themselves from the main group, slowly moving to the front, leaving an increasing gap between them and the others, giving off a feeling of being ahead of everyone else.

As the sun was about to set, Wen Yu Lian finally arrived with Lian Yi and Xuan Feng in front of a mountain gate. She caught her breath before raising her hand to knock on the lacquered red door's knocker.

A moment later, the door creaked open. A man in his early thirties stuck his head out and frowned, saying:

This is private property. Visitors are not allowed, and we are all men here, so it would be inconvenient for you ladies to stay overnight.

It was clear that many people had climbed here and disturbed the tranquility. The man, somewhat annoyed, spoke up to explain.

As Wen Yu Lian was about to close the door after letting the other person finish speaking, she raised her hand to stop it and spoke:

“My master is Tian Yang Daoist. I came from Hong Kong City. We have contacted before. You said your master had passed away. This time I came here only to pay respects to my elder. Before, you said that you would stay at the mountain gate and couldn't pick me up, so I came by myself.”

The man stopped closing the door and looked at Wen Yulian, saying:

"Are you Wen Yu Lian"

"It was me."

"Sorry, I thought you wouldn't come here. Please come in."

The man confirmed that the beauties before him were his people, and only then did he open the door and invite them in.

Ripple didn't say much, and followed Wen Yu Lian into the courtyard. The courtyard wasn't small, at least an acre in size. In the very center stood a large willow tree, surrounded by a ring of flowers and plants.

I wonder if it's because the plants weren't cared for properly, so they are sparse and wilting. The rest of the area is paved with stone, and the courtyard was cleaned very well. It seems that this Wen Yu'ren's senior brother has earnestly fulfilled his duties.

"Please, have a seat. I'm so sorry for the late welcome."

The man, dressed in a blue training uniform, sat down and politely spoke.

"We apologize for intruding, but Master has ordered me to come and pay respects to our deceased friend on his behalf. I wonder when Master passed away"

Wen Yu Lian went straight to the point, feeling that she had nothing much to say to the senior brother in front of her.

The ripples are purely for travel, so holding the whirlwind in your arms as a backdrop means just listening with your ears and not saying much.

From the conversation between the two, Lian Ri knew that this private property was inherited by middle-aged man Han Tang from his master. His master had simply died of old age.

Because fewer and fewer people believe in them nowadays, Taoism is not as popular as it used to be. They gradually declined, and by the time their teachings reached Han Tang, there was only one disciple left.

He was an orphan adopted by his master, so after completing his compulsory education, he returned to Kunshan to inherit his master's mantle. To be honest, he didn't learn much of his master's skills. He just read through all the books left by his master, which was enough to fool those who didn't understand much. But when encountering a connoisseur, he had nothing further to say.

And Wen Yu Lian was considered an expert in his eyes, so when he heard she was coming, he was somewhat reluctant. He also felt that a young girl wouldn't come to such a place, but surprisingly, she did.

Since he was already there, he might as well do his best to entertain them. After all, there were only five people in total, including him, and that included the elderly caretaker who was almost seventy years old and responsible for cleaning the courtyard.

"It's getting late today. You two must be tired from your journey. Rest for the night first, and we can go to pay respects to my master tomorrow!"

Han Tang solicited opinions.

"Well, then I won't bother you any further."

Wen Yu Lian agreed and then took Lian Yi to a wing in the back garden, where they temporarily settled down. Dinner was personally delivered by Han Tang: congee, salted vegetables, and corn cakes. It was healthy, but a bit too bland.

After dinner, the two of them rested early. The whirlwind went for a walk in the yard. He always felt that something was strange about this place, but he couldn't see what was wrong. He could only take a stroll around first.

The next morning, Lian Yi and Wen Yu-lin, after finishing their breakfast, followed Han Tang, who had changed into his Taoist robes, to the ancestral hall of Kun Shan Men to pay respects to their ancestors.

Inside the ancestral hall, there were hundreds of memorial tablets honoring ancestors of the Kunshan school, creating a solemn atmosphere. Han Tang solemnly invited out his master's tablet and first lit three incense sticks himself before stepping aside to allow Wen Yulian to pay her respects.

Wen Yu Lian stepped forward, lit three incense sticks, and then opened her mouth to speak:

"As Master Tianyang is unable to attend the ceremony due to health reasons, his disciple Wen Yulian comes to greet you on his behalf. She also fulfills the promise made earlier, hoping for your blessings for our success."

Wen Yu Lian finished speaking and inserted the three incense sticks into the tripod. A gust of wind swept past, and the three incense sticks ignited rapidly, burning even faster than the three incense sticks Han Tang had inserted first.

Han Tang widened his eyes, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Could it be that his master hadn't really left He immediately silently prayed for his master's protection in his heart, and then respectfully led Wen Yu Lian out of the ancestral hall of Kun Shan Gate.

The ripples did not go in, they only waited outside the door. When a gust of wind blew past, she saw Han Tang's master, an old man with a bushy beard who seemed to disdain his disciple. He merely nodded at Wen Yu Lian and her, as if offering a greeting.

After Wen Yu Lian stepped out, she said to Lian Yi:

"I'm going to stay here for three days to help reinforce the seal. Once things are finished, I can leave. What about you"

"I'm fine, I'll just keep you company. But what kind of seal needs you to come and reinforce it specifically Can't the sect master's chief disciple do it"

Ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.

Wen Yu Lian also didn't want to do something that was so thankless, letting people misunderstand her as stealing the limelight. So, helplessly she shook her head and said:

"I don't want to come either, but look at his cultivation level, he has to do it."

Ripple shrugged after hearing this. This Han Tang was just an ordinary person, not even a cultivator. It's already difficult for him to guard the Kunshan Gate.

"Meow!!!"

A gust of wind, furious and angry, swept into the courtyard, interrupting the two people's conversation.

Ripples moved with a flash, quickly leaping to the front yard. Wen Yu Lian trailed behind by a step, while Han Tang jogged to catch up, feeling a bit embarrassed that he couldn't keep up with the two ladies.

When the ripples reached the front yard, what they saw was a whirlwind facing off against an old man. The old man, with his white hair, glared at the whirlwind with disgust.

"Where did this animal come from, how dare you enter Kunshan Gate, get out of here!"rrounded by ten mounted soldiers. It was clearly a cavalry unit that had chased this band of barbarians deep into the interior of Huangzhou."Girl, you're ruthless! You broke his horse's leg!"A cavalry...
