"Boom boom boom."

In a quiet room, the door was suddenly knocked on.

At the next moment, the prohibition on the door emitted a brilliant light, followed by shattering and disappearing.

An old man with white hair stood at the door, holding a feather duster in his hand.

Yi Jianghan instinctively protected me behind him.

"Master."

The old man stepped into the door, and the broken door was restored behind him. He sighed, looking at Yi Jianghan like a loving elder.

"What's the use of hiding and evading when you have caused such a calamity? Sooner or later, you will be discovered," he said.

The person who came was Yi Jianghan's master, Master Mingzhai.

He knew his disciple best, so he was able to quickly find our hiding place.

Then he looked at me.

"Miss Ye, should be the last descendant of Tai Feng in the mortal world, right? No wonder no one has discovered it in the past twenty years, hidden by the will of Heaven," he said.

Yi Jianghan covered me even more tightly and his voice was clear, "So, Master, are you here to kill her?"

Master Mingzhai sighed and shook his head.

The bloodline of Tai Feng has reappeared, and the plan to subvert the mortal world has come to the surface again. At this moment, countless eyes are focused on the Qinglian Lamp.

If it is discovered that the Qinglian Lamp has been stolen and Lianhua Peak conceals the information, the consequences would be severe, and they cannot afford it.

So Master Mingzhai came here before being discovered, wanting to let me be captured by those shadows, so that the people of Lianhua Peak can follow the trail and find the location of the Qinglian Lamp.

Yi Jianghan suddenly looked up, his voice raised, "So, Master, you are sending her to her death! If she falls into their hands, it won't be easy for her to survive!"

Master Mingzhai looked at him disapprovingly, squinting his eyes slightly.

"As a teacher, I will naturally protect her safety. Besides, your junior sister is also in their hands. Are you willing to disregard the bond between fellow disciples for the sake of a mortal?"

Yi Jianghan was about to retort but was stunned.

"How do you know that junior sister is in their hands?"

Master Mingzhai hummed and said with his hands behind his back, "As a teacher, I naturally have to worry about the safety of my disciples."

"You go down first, I will talk to Miss Ye alone," he said.

Yi Jianghan stood still.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become tense, I patted his shoulder, "It's okay, I know what to do."

He frowned and looked at me, and I nodded again.

He handed me a talisman for safety and finally left.

Master Mingzhai set up a barrier and got straight to the point, "Miss Ye, once the theft of the Qinglian Lamp is known to the Heavenly Court, the entire Lianhua Peak will be implicated. Since Jianghan is protecting you like this, can you bear to see him suffer the punishment of heavenly thunder?"

I looked at him sincerely, "You are overestimating the situation. I just met him, so there's no question of whether I can bear it or not."

He was caught off guard by my response and laughed angrily.

"That boy has extraordinary talent but possesses a rebellious nature. Now it seems that you are similar to him."

"It's just a matter of willingness or unwillingness. Do you think you have a say in it?" I also laughed.

In the memories left by my parents, the person who led countless shadows to chase them to desperation was the benevolent-looking Master Mingzhai in front of me.

Now he came to find me with the appearance of an elder, fearing that I would be killed and prevent him from reigniting the Qinglian Lamp, right?

I looked up at him, smiling more sincerely.

"You are overestimating the situation again. To recover the Qinglian Lamp and save the mortal world from danger, such a great merit, how could I refuse?"

I can sacrifice my life, but I want to take another lookat the world. I want to see the beauty of the mortal realm, feel the warmth of human emotions, and experience love and friendship. If I die without experiencing all of that, it would be a regret.

Master Mingzhai was taken aback, his expression softened slightly.

"Miss Ye, you have a pure heart and a strong will. It seems I have misunderstood you."

I smiled and said, "Misunderstandings are common. As long as we can communicate and understand each other, there's always a chance to change."

Master Mingzhai nodded and sighed, "You are right. I have been immersed in my own thoughts for too long, neglecting the feelings and desires of others. I apologize."

It was an unexpected turn of events, but I believed that even someone like Master Mingzhai could change.

"Master, can you help me rescue junior sister?" I asked.

He hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "I will try my best. But the situation is complicated, and we need to be careful. If we act rashly, it may lead to disastrous consequences."

I understood his concerns and nodded in agreement. "I trust your judgment, Master. Let's work together to save junior sister and recover the Qinglian Lamp."

Master Mingzhai looked at me, his eyes filled with a mix of admiration and regret. "You are indeed worthy of being the descendant of Tai Feng. I hope that you can achieve great things in the future."

I smiled and replied, "Thank you, Master. With your guidance, I will do my best."

And so, an unexpected alliance was formed between the descendant of Tai Feng and the once-enemy, Master Mingzhai. We set out on a journey to rescue Yi Jianghan's junior sister and reclaim the stolen Qinglian Lamp, facing numerous challenges and dangers along the way.

Little did we know that our actions would have far-reaching consequences, not only for the mortal world but for the realms beyond. The fate of countless lives would be intertwined with our choices, and the path ahead would be filled with both darkness and light.

But together, we were determined to face whatever came our way, for the sake of love, friendship, and the preservation of the mortal realm.
