Luo City’s Sect Master Chu Yunhai stared deeply at the Sky-Opening Axe cradled in the arms of the Heavenly Secret Elder, looking as though he had lost his soul.

"Let’s stop looking. It’s about time to head back to Luo City," he said.

"No, husband, I’m a bit hungry. Let’s eat before we go," Lin Haixin’s stomach rumbled loudly.

"Xin’er, would you like to have something simple here, or would you prefer to go back to Feng’s Vegetarian Hall for a full vegetarian feast?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

"Let’s... let’s go back to Luo City," Lin Haixin said, her mouth watering at the thought of the vegetarian feast.

"Lin Ke, Lin Xin, you two focus on your cultivation. If there’s any issue, have the head of the Luo City branch go to Su Group to find me. If you can’t find me, leave a message for Elder Sun," he instructed.

Upon hearing this, Elder Sun’s face beamed with excitement. Was he now considered a direct descendant of Mr. Qin?

"No problem, I will definitely complete Mr. Qin’s mission," Elder Sun said, thumping his chest firmly.

This scene brought smiles and a relaxed atmosphere among the crowd.

The mission of Shanyang Sect was not only to eliminate the chief evil but also to acquire many valuable items, and Qin Yu returned with his group, satisfied.

As the helicopter gradually faded into the distance, Chu Yunhai finally breathed a sigh of relief—glad to have seen that man off!

Chu Yunhai returned to the hall where the Elder was directing the disciples in tidying up; the hall was almost back in order.

"Sect Master, do we really have to endure this?" the Elder asked reluctantly.

"Endure? Why should we endure? Have we been insulted?" Chu Yunhai responded lightly.

"But Lingxuan..."

"Elder, for the rise of our Shanyang Sect, I wouldn’t care even if all my sons died, let alone one!"

After speaking, Chu Yunhai left a bewildered Fang Jie behind and strode toward the back hall.

In the back hall, Murong Xin, Chu Yunhai’s first wife, had been waiting for a long time.

"Husband, has the villain who killed our son Lingxuan been executed?" she inquired.

"Murong Xin, you’d better forget about Lingxuan! He got what he deserved!" Chu Yunhai said sternly.

Murong Xin shivered, looking at her husband incredulously, "Husband, how can you say that?"

Chu Yunhai coldly replied, "If not for your spoiling him, would Lingxuan have become so reckless? He almost brought our Shanyang Sect to its destruction!"

Murong Xin felt very wronged and cold inside, but she showed a guilty expression, "Husband, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have spoiled Lingxuan. I will strictly discipline Ling Chuan and Ling Hai from now on."

"Hmm, I hope you do," he said.

"Of course! Husband, stay with me tonight," Murong Xin pleaded, her expression forlorn.

Chu Yunhai narrowed his eyes, perhaps feeling indebted to Murong Xin, or perhaps moved by her particularly forlorn appearance that evening, and he paused.

"Husband, this is the meal I just prepared, I hope it suits your taste?"

"Xin’er, your cooking is excellent," he remarked.

"Husband, you can’t have a meal without wine. Let me pour you a drink," Murong Xin said attentively as she poured him wine.

Caught in the charm of Murong Xin’s tenderness, she soon found Chu Yunhai slightly tipsy. Pretending to be casual, she asked, "Husband, you seem very happy. Have you encountered something delightful?"

"Of course, it’s good news. Our Shanyang Sect is on the rise! Luckily, your usual indulgence of Lingxuan gave us this opportunity!" he exclaimed.

Murong Xin’s heart bled internally, but she softly said, "It’s all thanks to your wisdom, husband! Under your lead, our Shanyang Sect will surely rise."
