Some unnecessary feelings of comparison arose.

Ren Qingyue was speechless but didn't stop it.

Yaoshenzi was giving Yan Zhao treasures, which was beneficial for her, so she naturally had no objections.

Yan Zhao's eyes lit up. "Really? Master keeps his word!"

Yaoshenzi boasted without shame, "Of course I keep my word! When have I ever deceived you?"

Yan Zhao immediately tugged at his sleeve. "Great! Master, let's go now!"

"Not so fast, not so fast," Yaoshenzi stopped Yan Zhao. "The treasures won't run away; you just returned to the sect, so why not rest a bit first?"

Yan Zhao refused to rest; until the treasures were in her hands, they wouldn't truly belong to her. She insisted on seeing them first.

Yaoshenzi's attempts to dissuade her were in vain, and he was forcefully pulled along by Yan Zhao.

Ren Qingyue followed behind.

At that moment, someone called out: "Little sister!"

Ren Qingyue didn't turn around but hesitated slightly. Tu Shan Yu hurriedly said, "Father is gravely injured and just woke up. Jin'er is watching over him; you should go see him."

Ren Qingyue remained silent and didn't respond. Tu Shan Yu continued to persuade her, "Father lost seventy percent of his cultivation due to sealing the Void Gate, which led to him being ambushed. Even if it wasn't the work of the demon clan, if Nangong Yin hadn't insisted on opening the Xu Huang Secret Realm, Father wouldn't have suffered such a calamity!"

"No matter what, you are still a daughter of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Even if you refuse to acknowledge your heritage, you shouldn't associate with demons. Whenever you come to your senses, just return."

With her back to Tu Shan Yu, Ren Qingyue waited until he finished speaking before turning to face him with a calm expression.

"The one who needs to come to terms is not me," Ren Qingyue said calmly. "I don't understand, nor do I want to understand the hatred between Qingqiu and the demon clan. Perhaps one day I can coexist peacefully with you all, but that is certainly not now."

Tu Shan Yu was taken aback and fell silent.

"Don't mention Qingqiu in front of Ah Zhao," Ren Qingyue warned as she spoke again. "Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you."

Tu Shan Yu: "......"

After saying this, Ren Qingyue quickly left.

Yaoshenzi took Yan Zhao to a hillside behind the main hall of sect affairs.

There were many medicinal fields nearby; looking down from the height, one could see several disciples working in the fields, fertilizing and weeding the spirit herbs they had planted.

The disciples tending to the medicinal fields could exchange the produce for spirit stones or points for sect tasks in the sect affairs hall, making this a regular part of the disciples' daily training in the Yaoshen Sect.

"Come here, my dear disciple."

Yaoshenzi waved at Yan Zhao, who obediently walked over.

They passed through a small grove, and the number of people around them diminished.

Yan Zhao's ears perked up as she caught some strange sounds, like someone hiding in the woods, intentionally treading lightly.

But looking around, the shadows of the trees seemed dense and silent.
