Chapter 72: Temporary Farewell

Chapter 72: Temporary Farewell

After listening to the words of the man in black, Yun Zhi furrowed her brows tightly.

Based on her speculation, it was most likely the doing of a certain elder within the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect, with a high probability.

But speculation was still speculation, and without conclusive evidence, Yun Zhi couldnt possibly replace all the elders of the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect. That would easily leave people feeling disheartened.

And even if she did so this time, what about the future?

If similar baseless speculations were to arise again, would she have to replace another group of elders?

Could she only remain silent for now

Yun Zhi felt a sense of unwillingness and clenched her teeth.

Ultimately, it was her own lack of strict supervision as the sect master.

Yun Zhi swung her long sword with resentment and beheaded the man in black without giving him a chance to beg for mercy, her eyes filled with determination.

Once this issue was resolved, she would never roam around aimlessly again.

To think that such a major problem had occurred within the sect, and she, as the sect master, knew nothing about it. Truly useless!

Moreover, Yun Zhi faintly felt that the current problem within the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect was not limited to just this one.

If they were capable of hiring an assassin to commit murder, there were definitely many other dirty dealings going on!

Yun Zhi, could you lift your foot for a moment?

Hmm?

Xiao Yans voice snapped Yun Zhi out of her thoughts, and she absentmindedly lifted her foot. She then saw Xiao Yan removing the torso of the man in black from under her foot and placing it, along with the severed head and limbs she had chopped off, into a deep pit that had been dug at some point, assembling them into a normal corpse.

Well youre much luckier than the three bandits I encountered before. You can at least have a proper burial.

Xiao Yan shrugged lightly and began to bury the deep pit with the Heavy Black Ruler. Yun Zhi watched his actions and couldnt help but recall the time when Xiao Yan had given a proper burial to the three bandits they encountered earlier. She looked at him somewhat helplessly.

Even for someone who almost killed you, do you still want to help them find peace in death? Yun Zhi slowly sheathed her long sword and suddenly remembered something, speaking up as a reminder. Wait a moment, take out his spatial ring before burying him. Being able to survive in the Black Corner Domain, his spatial ring should contain many valuable items.

Yun Zhis words made Xiao Yan pause and he turned to look at her.

Do you want it, Yun Zhi? he asked.

Huh? Ah no, it goes against my principles.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Yun Zhi hesitated for a moment, then denied it.

Yun Zhi looked at the simple grave for a while before responding in such a manner.

Although not afraid of such things, sleeping near a grave always felt eerie.

Xiao Yan nodded, slung the Heavy Black Ruler on his back, extinguished the campfire, and once again set out on their journey with Yun Zhi.

Both of them were contemplating their own thoughts after the recent events, walking silently and steadily.

They walked until dawn, and finally arrived at their destinationthe closest town to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, called Qingshan. Due to its proximity to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, it was also known as the Town of Magic Beast. The town was bustling with mercenaries who lived by the blade and healers who saved lives. Many mercenaries who traveled to Wutan City for trade also came from this town.

Upon entering the town, Yun Zhi looked at Xiao Yan and spoke softly.

Xiao Yan, lets part ways here.

Yun Zhis words caught Xiao Yan slightly off guard. After spending a week together, he had grown accustomed to Yun Zhis company, so the impending separation naturally caused a hint of reluctance in his heart.

Even though I was initially reluctant to travel with Yun Zhi

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly. He wouldnt impede her departure based on his personal wishes, no matter how reluctant he felt.

Yun Zhi, take care. Ive been delighted to have you accompany me this past week. I thank you for your company along the way. Xiao Yans expression turned serious, and he clasped his hands together, looking at Yun Zhi earnestly. I am deeply grateful for your lifesaving grace, Yun Zhi-jie. I will remember it in my heart and repay it in the future!

Watching Xiao Yans serious expression, Yun Zhi couldnt help but feel guilty inside.

What lifesaving grace is he talking about? This calamity was brought upon you by my Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sects mismanagement

In any case, take care of yourself. Yun Zhi waved her jade-like hand lightly, turned around, and left, leaving behind a final remark, Until we meet again.

As Xiao Yan watched Yun Zhis gradually fading figure, a trace of melancholy appeared in his eyes.

(Hey! Little Yanzi!) Suddenly, Yao Chens displeased voice echoed in Xiao Yans mind. (How could you let her go? Shes going to be one of your future harem!)

Yao Chens words snapped Xiao Yan out of his sadness, and instead, he felt an overwhelming headache.

(Senior Yao, I believe daydreaming only brings trouble)

(If you cant handle it, Ill handle it for you! With me helping, which girl wouldnt fall for you?)

Xiao Yans headache grew worse.

While Xiao Yan did indeed respect Yao Chen greatly, that was definitely true.

But Xiao Yan sincerely hoped that his teachers personality wouldnt be so lecherous. At the very least, he wished she could act more like a woman
