Ming is standing in front of Hong Ling and reporting her discovery, causing her to frown. “Is that information true?”

“I heard Zhong Cunhai kept muttering about it after he left the Tian Clan, and Tian Yueling left with that Mo Chen. Besides, he also said that guy was Tian Huang’s disciple, but he didn’t know their whereabouts.”

Hong Ling pondered for a long time, especially about Ling Yun’s true identity, but she got up and walked out of her room, and she went to her daughter.

However, Hong Ling let out a heavy sigh when she arrived in front of her daughter’s room, especially after she heard Du Yanyao’s moans from inside the room, but she was shocked after peeking inside and left again straight away. “Sigh, his behavior is getting worse.”

“What happened to you, son?” A middle-aged woman asked Zhong Cunhai, who had just entered their clan hall.

Zhong Cunhai sat down beside her directly. “Mother, I just returned from the Tian Clan, but they told me that Yueling already has a future husband, and she has left with him.”

“Hmm?” That shocked Jing Wen. “Didn’t Yueling just recover from her illness? How could she suddenly have a future husband?”

“I don’t know.” Zhong Cunhai replied by shaking his head. “Grandpa Huang told me that his name is Mo Chen, and he is his direct disciple that he accepted three days ago.”

Jing Wen was even more shocked, and he himself knew that there were so many cultivators who had come to Tian Huang to become his disciples, but he had rejected them. But he suddenly accepted a disciple, and he even handed over his granddaughter to him. “Does he come from the Earth Cloud Realm? After all, there is only one Mo clan in these three realms, but they are a demon clan.”

“I don’t know for sure.” Zhong Cunhai suddenly realized something. “If that person comes from that Mo Clan, Grandpa Huang will not accept him as his disciple, let alone hand over Yueling to him, and he will definitely kill him directly.”

“You mean?”

“Yes.” Zhong Chunhai nodded to his mother. “I’m one hundred percent sure that Mo Chen is just his pseudonym.”

“That’s true.” Jing Wen then told him. “Anyway, your master contacted me earlier, and he asked you to return. So you must return now, and I will investigate that man’s identity.”

“Yes, Mother.”

After her son disappeared from her sight, Jing Wen contacted several people directly and spread the news about Tian Yueling’s relationship with Ling Yun, especially since there were several men who were infatuated with her. “This way, those people will look for that guy, and I won’t have to go through the trouble of looking for him.”

Nangong Nichang pondered in front of his room, and her mind was filled with her master’s previous words.

“What are you thinking, Nichang?” Qiao Lingzhi asked as she approached her. “Ever since you came back from talking to our master, I noticed that you kept quiet and brooding alone.”

Nangong Nichang turned to her and sighed softly. “What is your plan after leaving the sect?”

“Hmm?” Qiao Lingzhi lightly tapped her chin and thought. “I plan to go to Star Cloud Realm, and I want to join the Moon Palace Sect, especially since it is a women-only sect.”

“I see.” Nangong Nichang nodded in understanding and sighed again.

Hearing that, Qiao Lingzhi sat beside Nangong Nichang and embraced her shoulder. “What are you going to do next? Have you thought about which sect to join next? As I recall, you will turn 21 in three days, so your father will come to pick you up on that day.”

Nangong Nichang’s expression turned ugly after hearing that, and she really didn’t want to meet her father, especially since he would force her to marry a stranger like Huang Ba.

“Hey, why don’t you answer my question?” Qiao Lingzhi asked again as she looked at Nangong Nichang in confusion.

Nangong Nichang took a deep breath before telling her. “Lingzhi, I will leave this sect early tomorrow morning, and-”

“What?” Qiao Lingzhi exclaimed loudly before peppering her with questions. “Are you insane? Why did you suddenly decide to leave? And where are you going? Moreover, your father will be here soon, and he will be furious if he can’t find you. He- mhn~”

“Stop it!” Nangong Nichang directly covered Qiao Lingzhi’s mouth. “I don’t want to return to my clan because my father wants to marry me to a person I don’t know, and he comes from an unrighteous clan, so I must leave before my father comes. Anyway, I can’t tell you about my sect choice, or else my father will go there to take me home by force.”

Qiao Lingzhi frowned and pulled Nangong Nichang’s hand down. “Why have you never told me that before? And who is the man your father chose for you?”

“His name is Huang Ba, the young master of the Huang Clan in Star Cloud Realm.” Nangong Nichang then let out a heavy sigh. “Honestly, I heard about this matter for the first time from Big Sis Yu when we were in the forest yesterday, and our master also told me about this earlier. At first, I didn’t want to join another sect, and I wanted to stay here with our master. After I thought about everything, I decided to leave early tomorrow morning.”

“Why don’t you want to marry him?” Qiao Lingzhi asked in confusion. “After all, the Huang Clan is a first-grade clan like your Nangong Clan, so I think it should be fine for you, right?”

“You don’t know anything about the Huang Clan, so you can talk like that.” Her answer made Qiao Lingzhi even more confused, and Nangong Nichang told her directly. “Big Sis Yu told me that the Huang clan has ties with the demons of Earth Cloud Realm, and Huang Ba also has a detestable character, so I don’t want to marry him.”

“How did Big Sis Yu know about all of that? And why do you believe her so much?” Qiao Lingzhi asked as she continued to look at her with a puzzled look. “I know that she and Mo Chen are good people, but we have only known them for three days, so I think you shouldn’t trust her so much.”

“I can’t tell you the truth, but Big Sis Yu’s true identity is extremely terrifying; even our fathers wouldn’t dare disobey her orders.” Nangong Nichang then stood up from her seat. “No matter what happens, I will leave this sect, and I will train harder to become strong; only then will I be able to determine my own future, so I hope you don’t talk about this matter to anyone.”

“I will go to that sect with you.” Nangong Nichang raised his eyebrows after hearing that, and Qiao Lingzhi spoke to her. “We grew up together since childhood, and we are also like blood sisters, so I won’t leave you alone.”

Nangong Nichang was certainly happy to hear Qiao Lingzhi’s words, but she didn’t want to drag her into her troubles. “Don’t you want to join the Moon Palace Sect? Besides, my next sect is not an ordinary sect, and you won’t be comfortable joining it. Moreover, if your parents know that you joined that sect, they will banish you from your clan.”

“You’re wrong about that.” Qiao Lingzhi denied her by shaking her head, and she immediately stood up before hugging Nangong Nichang. “My parents left the decision up to me, and I am free to choose any sect, so I will accompany you wherever you go.”

“Lingzhi.” Nangong Nichang called softly and hugged her back. “I am deeply touched by your intention to accompany me, but I don’t want you to go with me, or you will suffer because of me. Moreover, you must have planned long ago to join the Moon Palace Sect, so you must join it, and we will meet again in the future.”

“It’s okay; you don’t need to think about that.” Qiao Lingzhi casually replied to him. “Honestly, it’s no problem for me to join any sect, and I want to join the Moon Palace Sect because I’m too lazy to deal with those womanizers.”

Hearing that, Nangong Nichang immediately hugged Qiao Lingzhi and looked at her seriously, and he finally decided to tell her about his sect next. “To tell you the truth, I will join the Eternal Spring Palace, and you should know that that sect is a dual cultivation sect, right?”

“Huh?” Qiao Lingzhi went into shock, and her eyes kept blinking rapidly. She then shouted at her. “Are you joking with me? Why do you want to join that sect? Are you thinking about becoming a dual cultivator?”

“I’m not joking with you, and I don’t intend to become a dual cultivator.” Nangong Nichang then told her. “Big Sis Yu told me that it is the safest sect for me, especially since their sect master is a member of the Tian Clan, and he will definitely protect me from my father. Moreover, the sect has very strict rules, and the male disciples cannot force me to become their partner, so I’ll be fine there.”

Qiao Lingzhi fell silent as she continued to stare at Nangong Nichang. “All right, I decided to go with you anyway, and I want to see the truth about that sect. If I am not comfortable there, then I will leave the sect and join the Moon Palace Sect.”
