Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 420: The Prince and the Cat

Seeing his silence, Shangguan Qiong warned him, “Don’t go looking for trouble. The Empress is not someone you can covet!”

Lin Fengmian nodded quickly. “Sect leader, don’t worry. I’ve always valued my life. I heard that the Empress once killed a saint. Is that true?”

Shangguan Qiong thought for a moment before nodding. “It’s probably true.”

“Probably?”

Lin Fengmian frowned. “Why isn’t it recorded in history? Shouldn’t such an event be documented and celebrated by everyone?”

Shangguan Qiong speculated, “It’s likely related to the Sovereign, so it couldn’t be put into writing.”

Lin Fengmian thought of the Qionghua Sect, which had disappeared from all records, and asked with a glimmer of hope, “Sect Leader, do you know when this happened?”

Shangguan Qiong casually replied, “About eight hundred years ago.”

Lin Fengmian’s heart sank. This timeline almost perfectly matched the fall of the Qionghua Sect!

Just as Shangguan Qiong was about to say something else, there was a knock at the cabin door.

Both of them were startled. Shangguan Qiong glared at Lin Fengmian and said, “Did you bring this trouble?”

Lin Fengmian felt wronged and helplessly replied, “Sect leader, this really isn’t my fault.”

“Fellow Daoist Lin?”

Huang Zishan’s voice came from outside, causing Shangguan Qiong to glare at Lin Fengmian again. “You still deny it?”

Lin Fengmian sighed, stood up, and opened the door. “Coming!”

He opened the door to see Huang Zishan standing there, dressed in a simple yet elegant yellow dress, exuding a quiet grace like an orchid in bloom.

“Fairy Zishan, what brings you here?” Lin Fengmian asked.

Huang Zishan looked awkward and forced a smile. “It’s nothing major, but your neighbors asked me to remind you to… take it easy.”

Lin Fengmian was confused. “Take it easy? What do you mean?”

Huang Zishan looked inside and saw the weakened Shangguan Qiong. She explained uncomfortably, “You and your wife have been… quite active, and the noise has been too much for your neighbors. They complained to us.”

“We’re not saying you can’t… you know, but could you please be a little more considerate? This is a public space, and it’s causing a bit of a disturbance.”

Lin Fengmian finally understood. The neighbors had mistaken Shangguan Qiong’s cries of pain for something else entirely.

Feeling a wave of embarrassment, he said, “Ah, I’m sorry for the inconvenience. We’ll be more careful.”

Huang Zishan smiled awkwardly. This was the first time she had to deal with such a situation.

After seeing Huang Zishan off, Lin Fengmian closed the door and immediately felt vindicated.

“Sect Leader, I told you that it wasn’t my fault, right?”

Shangguan Qiong was humiliated. This was the first time she’d been misunderstood like this.

“What’s wrong with me making a little noise? I’ll make even more if I want to!”

As she spoke, she let out a few seductive moans accompanied by soft gasps, making Lin Fengmian feel a bit overwhelmed.

Lin Fengmian quickly said, “Sect leader, Sect leader, stop messing around. If they come back, I won’t be able to handle it!”

Shangguan Qiong finally regained her composure and stopped, though she still grumbled, “I can’t even make noise now?”

Lin Fengmian hastily smiled apologetically. “Of course you can!”

Despite her tough words, Shangguan Qiong silently handed Lin Fengmian a set of soundproofing formation flags.

After all, unlike the Shanhai Inn, this ship didn’t have any built-in soundproofing formations, so they had to bring their own.

With the soundproofing formation flags in place, the two of them didn’t encounter any further problems and smoothly transferred to the airship heading back to Haining City in Chongmeng City.

Once on board, Lin Fengmian noticed that Shangguan Qiong’s condition seemed to be getting worse. She had been fainting more frequently lately.

This woman was truly so weak now that he could probably defeat her in a fight.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he could really bring Shangguan Qiong back to the Joyful Union Sect in this state.

Just then, Shangguan Qiong received a jade message slip, and her expression instantly became complicated.

“Jun Wuxie has agreed to a truce. In one month, he will come to Haining City to meet me!”

After leaving the Joyful Union Sect, she finally understood why Jun Wuxie had been ignoring her.

It turned out that the Joyful Union Sect had been under a shielding formation, cutting off all communication with the outside world.

So as soon as she could, she had sent a new message to Jun Wuxie, informing him that she possessed a rare heavenly treasure, the Refining Spirit Ginseng, and was willing to offer it to him.

She also expressed her willingness to engage in dual cultivation with him to aid his cultivation, asking him to show mercy and spare the Joyful Union Sect.

Tempted by both the treasure and the beauty, Jun Wuxie had indeed agreed, promising to come to Haining City to meet her in one month.

Lin Fengmian was both shocked and delighted. This meant that the crisis facing the Joyful Union Sect had been resolved, and all he needed to do now was to replace Jun Wuxie.

But Jun Wuxie was a prince of the Heavenly Grace Dynasty, surrounded by powerful experts.

He had no idea what the Joyful Union Sect’s plan was. Could he really replace Jun Wuxie so smoothly?

Both of them were filled with apprehension. Shangguan Qiong was about to say something, but the curse of the dead soul struck again.

By the time Shangguan Qiong had endured the pain, night had fallen. Drenched in sweat, she fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Fengmian sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and finally responded to Luo Xue who had been calling out to him.

Entering the Twin Fish Pendant space, Luo Xue let out a long sigh of relief when she saw him.

“You jerk, it took you so long to respond. I thought that guy had killed you.”

Lin Fengmian smiled faintly. “No way. It’s not that easy for him to kill me.”

“The reason I took so long to respond is because I’ve been with Shangguan Yuqiong, and I didn’t want to arouse her suspicion.”

Luo Xue let out a disappointed “Ah” and said, “You were with Shangguan Yuqiong? So you didn’t see Jun Yunshang?”

Lin Fengmian’s expression became complicated. “I saw her, but it was as if I didn’t. However, I came across something completely unexpected in Junlin City.”

Luo Xue tilted her head. “What?”

“Zhen Yuan,” Lin Fengmian said solemnly.

He recounted everything that had happened in Junlin City, causing Luo Xue to gasp in shock, her expression constantly shifting.

“Why would Zhen Yuan be in the Holy Palace of Junlin City?”

Lin Fengmian shook his head. “I don’t know, but I suspect it has something to do with the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign and that woman in the starlight.”

Although he hadn’t heard what Jun Yunshang and Yiyun had discussed, he had a feeling that the woman was no ordinary figure.

“Could the fall of the Qionghua Sect be related to the Heavenly Fiend Hall? And who is that woman? If she can communicate with Jun Yunshang, then her status must be quite high.”

Luo Xue was now full of questions, and Lin Fengmian was no different.

Lin Fengmian smiled helplessly. “If I want to know the answers, I’ll have to become Jun Wuxie and meet Jun Yunshang in person. Then I can ask her directly.”

“Now that Shangguan Qiong has made a deal with Jun Wuxie, Jun Wuxie will be here next month. That’s when the cat-no…”

He smirked coldly. “That’s when the prince will replace the fake cat.”
