Lin Xiao left Moon Pavilion and returned to Ye Residence.
At this time, Sister Ling Ling and the others were still not out of school, and Senior Dugu was elusive, not knowing where he was. Fortunately, Aunt Qingxian was always in the courtyard.
"Aunt Ye, I'm back."
Lin Xiao, with Feng Yu on his shoulder, knocked on Ye Qingxian's room door.
"The door's unlocked, come in."
After Lin Xiao entered, he saw Ye Qingxian already standing up and walking towards him, and on the desk were some hybrid experiments that Ye Qingxian was designing.
Ye Qingxian had a particular interest in herbs. She was no longer satisfied with simple pharmacological knowledge, but was pondering whether she could cultivate the herbs she needed.
Lin Xiao always felt that it would be a pity if Ye Qingxian didn't become a God.
Flower God, Agricultural God... both seemed quite suitable.
Ye Qingxian's gaze lingered on Lin Xiao for a moment, and she nodded slightly.
"You've become a bit more handsome, and your masculine energy is even stronger."
Now was the period of Lin Xiao's rapid development. In just half a year, Ye Qingxian discovered that Lin Xiao had grown a small bit taller, his shoulders had widened, but his figure had always been very upright.
Lin Xiao flattered:
"Aunt Ye is even more beautiful!"
Ye Qingxian rolled her eyes, and then asked Lin Xiao if he had encountered any trouble in the past six months.
Lin Xiao briefly answered.
Afterwards, Lin Xiao spoke of the things he encountered when entering the city.
After only a few words, Ye Qingxian's face darkened.
Ye Qingxian said angrily:
"Tang Yuehua is truly shameless!"
Ye Qingxian knew about the Clear Sky Sect's experiences, and she was actually clear about Tang Yuehua's purpose in approaching her, which was nothing more than wanting to take advantage of her.
She felt that Tang Yuehua was a smart person, and it was quite comfortable to get along with her, and sometimes she could help her, so she had always had contact with her.
But what happened today.
Made Ye Qingxian very unhappy!
Lin Xiao was Ye Qingxian's nominal disciple, but in reality, he was a relative even closer than a son.
What was Tang Yuehua?
Ye Qingxian said coldly:
"Lin Xiao, Aunt Ye will not let this matter go lightly."
"I will make Tang Yuehua give you an explanation!"
Lin Xiao shook his head.
"What do I need her to explain to me?"
Ye Qingxian nodded slightly.
"Alright, then no explanation is needed."
Not needing Tang Yuehua's explanation meant not even giving her a chance to make amends, decisively cutting ties.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Tang Yuehua.
"Scheming too much only harms oneself."
Although it wouldn't lead to death, the way things had developed was indeed related to Tang Yuehua's cleverness.
She overestimated her relationship with Lin Xiao, overestimated her relationship with Ye Qingxian, and underestimated the bond between Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian.
In the end, she suffered the consequences of her own actions.
...
Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua dismissed her personal maid, leaving herself alone in the room.
She sat in front of the dressing table, looked at her reflection in the mirror, and saw that her makeup was ruined by tears, making her look haggard and no longer as graceful and luxurious as she used to be.
"Old woman..."
In the scene in her mind, the young man's handsome face was full of sarcasm, and his white teeth and red lips uttered the coldest words.
Tang Yuehua felt that she might be having nightmares for a long time.
After hesitating again and again, she finally mustered up the courage to wash off the rouge on her face with Clear Water, and after drying it, she came to the mirror with some fear, carefully observing her face.
It must be said that at forty years old, her skin was still fair and tender, and her condition was well maintained.
But she searched her mind for memories of Ye Qingxian, and the other party's skin was truly rosy and white, like a girl's, as if time could not leave any traces on her.
Suddenly, Tang Yuehua's eyes froze.
"Crash—"
The mirror shattered into pieces.
Tang Yuehua cried out in pain.
She found three fine lines at the corners of her eyes, which were subtle but real!
And the skin that looked smooth from a distance was obviously very different from that of a girl when viewed up close.
She was deeply heartbroken!
Lin Xiao had been gone for a while, but Tang Yuehua had collapsed on her own.
...
In the afternoon.
Tang Yuehua composed herself and arranged to meet Ye Qingxian.
She had applied a thick layer of powder on her face, creating a heavy makeup look.
In the past, she had always scorned heavy makeup, finding it unattractive and not as naturally seamless as light makeup. But today, she had done the opposite.
Besides wanting to maintain a good relationship, her purpose in meeting Ye Qingxian this time was also to downplay some of the conflicts between herself and Lin Xiao, turning major issues into minor ones and minor ones into nothing.
Also, she wanted to observe Ye Qingxian up close to see if she could find any fine lines on her face.
Mostly to seek some psychological comfort...
However, Ye Qingxian refused Tang Yuehua's request for a meeting.
This made her feel a bad premonition and inexplicable unease.
Intuition told Tang Yuehua that she had to see Ye Qingxian today, or she might never have another chance in the future.
After repeated requests, Ye Qingxian agreed.
But Ye Qingxian's steps were very cold this time, and she only said three sentences when she came.
"Lin Xiao is one of the most important people to me, you shouldn't have gone behind my back to find him."
"Let's not associate with each other in the future, and the Clear Sky Sect's medicinal herbs will also be stopped."
"Don't let this happen again."
Then, no matter how hard Tang Yuehua tried to persuade her to stay, she left without caring.
Tang Yuehua gave up.
However, before Ye Qingxian left, she carefully looked at the other party's face, which was truly... flawless.
It was just a casual remark from Ye Qingxian that made her break down on the spot.
"Why are you wearing such heavy makeup?"
After Ye Qingxian left, Tang Yuehua burst into tears.
Are these two, master and disciple, carved out of the same mold?
Are they deliberately trying to stab her in the heart!
...
The middle-aged Soul Master didn't listen to Tang Yuehua.
A mere ordinary person, if not for being the sect master's sister, how could she become the Pavilion Master of Moon Pavilion? How could she be worthy of mobilizing people like them!
They were noble Soul Masters!
Tang Yuehua didn't know that the Clear Sky Sect seemed to be delegating power to her, but the real power was in the Elder Council.
And the middle-aged Soul Master was also loyal to several Elders.
The middle-aged Soul Master reported the situation of Lin Xiao and the Strength Clan to the Elders of the Clear Sky Sect, which aroused the anger of several Elders, and they clearly conveyed the order:
They must show Lin Xiao a lesson.
Their Clear Sky Sect was still the number one sect in the world!
Spirit Hall bullying them was one thing, but what was Lin Xiao?
As for Dugu Bo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Ye Family behind Lin Xiao... the Clear Sky Sect didn't take any of them seriously at all.
Not killing Lin Xiao was already giving Ning Fengzhi face.
Considering that Tang Yuehua might obstruct the execution of the Elder Council's orders, they specifically issued a secret order to prevent Tang Yuehua from knowing about this plan!
The Elder Council decided to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, establishing the Clear Sky Sect's prestige.
It was also a warning to Titan.
The Strength Clan, even if abandoned, was still a dog of the Clear Sky Sect!
