As soon as Yunting left, Yunlin looked at Junior Brother, who had just put down the medicine pot, and asked, "Why? Don't you find the medicine bitter now?"
After hearing what Senior Brother said, Yunyang couldn't help but recall the bitter taste of the medicine. He quickly grabbed his chopsticks and took a few bites of rice.
Then, lifting his head, he incoherently asked the senior martial brother, "Senior brother, may I go with you to the Master's place later?"
Yun Ling continued to tinker with the incense burner, "You heard what Second Senior Brother said earlier. Master only told me to go, so if you're feeling unwell, stay in the house and rest after you've eaten."
"But it concerns the Wailing Valley, you can't keep me in the dark about it." After Yunyang finished handling things for his father, he was brought back to the Xuan Yin Sect by his eldest martial brother. He didn't know what had happened afterwards, so now he also wanted to understand the situation and find out how much progress the Xuan Yin Sect had made in their investigation."
Yun Lin finally shifted his gaze from the incense burner back to Junior Brother Xiao. He gave Yun Yang a meaningful look and said, "If Junior Brother Yun Shuo brings back any important news, I will let you know."
"Really?" Yun Yang couldn't believe it. The members of Xuan Yin Sect rarely mentioned Wan Ling Valley in front of him, let alone the incident of Wan Ling Valley being destroyed. They probably didn't want to hurt the feelings of the 'son of the Wan Ling Valley Master'.
"If you don't believe me, you can accompany me to the Bamboo Moon Pavilion later. However, I can't guarantee that Master won't kick you out," Yun Lin said, as Yun Yang was still having his meal and it wouldn't be appropriate to use incense. After playing around with the incense burner for a while, Yun Lin put it down again.
"Okay." Yun Yang had no choice but to give up. If his master didn't allow him to listen, even if he went, he would find a way to keep him away. With his current situation, it was impossible for him to eavesdrop.
After the destruction of the Wailing Valley by the annihilated sect, Senior Brother and the others helped with the aftermath and then returned to the Xuan Yin Sect. They left a few disciples behind to investigate the truth of the matter, and it has been over half a month since then. I wonder what they have found out.
In fact, Yun Yang was not afraid of being discovered that it was him, the young master of the demonic race, who was responsible for the incident at Wanling Valley. If he was afraid, he wouldn't have boldly leaked the information to Qiu Ci when he went to take the lives of over a hundred people at Wanling Valley. What he is worried about now is what would happen if he was found out that he is actually a fake as the "son of the Wanling Valley Lord."
"Will I be expelled from the sect?"
After finishing their meal, Yun Yang climbed onto the bed in front of Shi Xiong. They covered their body with a blanket, leaving only their small head exposed. Their shiny, spirited, black eyes were fixed on Yun Ling as they asked, "Shi Xiong, aren't you going to eat?"
"This way, I'll go." Yun Lin first tidied up the bowls and chopsticks used by the junior apprentice brother, then opened the lid of the incense burner. He took out a pinch of Concentration Incense that he had just obtained from Senior Uncle Hui'an and put it into the incense burner. After lighting it, he extinguished the flame and covered the lid again.
A burst of white smoke rose from the incense burner, instantly filling the room with a faint scent of sandalwood and medicinal herbs.
Yunyang took a deep breath through his slightly congested nose, smelling the familiar aroma. The heavy, drowsy feeling in his mind immediately eased, and he no longer felt so uncomfortable.
"Take a rest," Yun Ling said to Yun Yang before leaving, closing the door behind her while holding a bowl and chopsticks.
And as Yunyang smelled that familiar scent, his whole body relaxed and he quickly fell asleep again.
After having lunch, Yun Ling went to the Bamboo Moon Pavilion. Master and the four elders were already in the main hall. In addition, there was another person in the hall, Yun Shuo.
For the past twenty years that Wu Chen has been the sect leader, he has taken in eight disciples. Among them, three have already left Xuan Yin Sect due to their own issues. This third-ranked disciple named Yun Shuo actually entered the sect together with his second senior brother, Yun Ting. Yun Ting is ranked higher because he is a few months older. However, from the appearance, the third senior brother, Yun Shuo, actually looks much more mature than the second senior brother, Yun Ting.
