A mysterious woman, tea ceremony

Yue Xin looked at the blind person with a grave expression.

"I am talking about you; don't go causing any more trouble for me."

The blind person put away the smile on their face. "Rest assured, I won't make any more mistakes. The last time was because of me that those losses were caused."

"It's good that you know. Everyone, behave yourselves recently and wait until the day the banquet begins to gather."

"Now, go do whatever you need to do; I won't ask any questions."

The moment these words were spoken, everyone disappeared, leaving only the candlelight flickering in the wind as if to suggest that someone had been there.

Yue Xin looked at the bright moon in the sky; no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

Yue Xin seemed to have changed quite a bit, yet it also seemed as if she hadn't.

The moonlight shone upon another place, a courtyard imprinted with a lotus pattern.

A woman wearing a veil sat to one side. She had an exquisite figure, a petal-like pattern on her forehead, and eyes as bright and clear as the stars.

Yin Yun was brewing tea for this woman.

"I didn't expect you to come to my place."

"I just came here to take a look. Your Lotus Sect is developing faster and faster these days. I heard you are going to send people to that banquet."

"You know about this too? That's right, this is a good opportunity, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is a good opportunity. I'm afraid there are quite a few people who have this same idea."

"Aren't you afraid of revealing your true colors?"

"Rest assured, our methods are not that simple. And what about you? Are you going too? With your abilities, you're still interested in these things?"

"No, I don't have that thought. I was just passing by and thought I'd come to take a look."

"By the way, what do you think of Wuming from the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard?"

"I can't see through him, I can't understand him; he is an enigmatic person."

"Is that so? It's just like this tea; different people can taste different flavors. As for whether the taste of the tea has changed or the person's taste has changed, who knows. I won't drink the tea; I have other matters to attend to."

The veiled woman turned into specks of starlight and dissipated under the moonlight.

Seeing this, Yin Yun thought, 'Still as stylish as ever in the way she does things.' Looking at the tea on the table, she wondered, 'Has this tea really changed its flavor or not?'

With a wave of Yin Yun's hand, several people appeared before her.

"How are the arrangements coming along?"

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, everything is arranged properly; we are just waiting for your order when the time comes."

"Mm, good. By the way, you all drink this tea; don't wait for it to get cold, or the flavor will change. I have other matters to attend to."

Everyone looked at the vanished Sect Leader, feeling a bit confused.

Amidst the anticipation of the masses, this banquet was about to begin.

Some people headed to this banquet at the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard with different intentions.

Su Yu and his partner were not attending this banquet; although the two were Elders of the Star Sea Sect, they did not have the qualifications.

While they were on Qin Island, they had heard Yun Niang mention this matter; people in her Family had asked her if she wanted to go.

Yun Niang had declined the invitation. Simply put, Yun Niang felt it was troublesome and didn't want to go; it was full of people with reputations.

One had to be mindful of their words and actions at all times, and if she went there, she might run into some people she didn't want to see.

Su Yu picked up the teacup in his hand. "The banquet is about to begin; I wonder what kind of figures have gathered there."

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu. "I have heard that Ye Lin is also going to this banquet. He represents the Carefree Holy Land, and because of this, some people who were not planning to go are now attending this banquet."

Su Yu set down his teacup. "Many people are just doing it for benefits, but this is indeed the most tangible thing."

Regarding Ye Lin going there, Su Yu didn't think much of it.

Even if it were a trap, with Ye Lin's current abilities, it would be no problem. Although Ye Lin had not mastered the Supreme Law, his Annihilation Law had already progressed quite a distance.

No one else knew this, and Ye Lin now had many trump cards, not to mention that lost Immortal Artifact.

It was basically impossible for Ye Lin to have an accident in the Spirit Domain.

That Demon Beginning still underestimated Ye Lin too much.

Su Yu spoke up, "The two of us just need to listen to the gossip; those who attend such banquets are all big shots."

Su Yu's eyes darted. "By the way, Wifey, tell me, if you were one of those big shots with the cultivation of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, would you attend this banquet?"

Ling Wanqing was startled for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. "Me? Maybe, maybe not; it's hard to say."

Why did Su Yu suddenly ask her this question?

"Why would you suddenly think of this?"

"I just feel like if you, Wifey, were an existence at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, that would be pretty great."

Upon hearing this, Ling Wanqing immediately changed the subject. "You should stop thinking about such things. I'm only at the Void Refinement Stage; my cultivation isn't even as strong as yours."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Su Yu said, "I was just thinking about it."

"If I ever encounter danger one day, I also hope that my beloved will step on colorful auspicious clouds to save me from fire and water."

"Let me also experience the feeling of being protected by someone."

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu, who suddenly had a look of fantasy on his face, and laughed out loud. "You, alright, alright, alright; one day I will step on colorful auspicious clouds to save you."

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu. "Rest assured, you won't encounter any danger."

"By the way, we still have to teach the Disciples on Qin Island Musical Talent; it's time to set off."

"Mm, let's go."

With that, the two left the small courtyard.

The day of the banquet arrived quickly, and prominent figures from all sides gathered around the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard.

They had all come here with their own purposes, mingling within the crowd.

From time to time, a figure would streak across the sky, drawing cheers and attention from the Disciples and others below.

Just then, Ye Lin arrived. Ye Lin's appearance brought about waves of cheers.

Many pairs of eyes were fixed on Ye Lin's figure.

Yin Yun, in a pavilion in the distance, watched this Ye Lin—Ye Lin from the Profound Heaven Sect of the Southern Region, who had now become the Saint of the Carefree Holy Land. His skills were so profound that even she could not see through them.

A true peerless Prodigy of the Southern Region indeed. Fortunately, Ye Lin was from the Southern Region; perhaps they would have some interactions later on.

She was not planning to attend this banquet.

She would just watch from the outside, and no one would be able to discover her.

At this moment, Demon Beginning opened his eyes. "Has he finally arrived?"
