When the head of the Guiyi Sect received news from Yun Ge, his face lit up with joy. However, as he realized that Yun Ge was the messenger, the joy on his face faded.
“Head… this…” An elder beside him also saw the contents of the message and frowned. The message was brought by a paper crane imbued with strong spiritual power, and as a gesture of sincerity, it also carried a lotus seed.
“They have obtained the lotus seed and don’t mind giving it to us early, which means they indeed have the Lotus Heart in their hands,” the elder said. “However, how could Yun Ge, who was taken by a demonic cultivator before, be fine now?”
“In the beginning, the Yunfu Sect denied any connection between Yun Ge and that demonic cultivator. Plus, Yun Ge’s words before leaving made many people think that Yun Ge’s so-called disciple was possessed by the demonic cultivator. I heard that Elder Lian from the Yunfu Sect has died at the hands of the demonic cultivator.”
“Could it be that Yun Ge escaped from that demonic cultivator, and when the cultivator returned to the Yunfu Sect, they encountered Elder Lian?”
“… ” The head of the Guiyi Sect pondered and found it not entirely impossible.
“So, what do we do?” The elder glanced at the lotus seed held in the head of the Guiyi Sect’s hand and asked.
“The Lotus Heart in the Frozen Land ripens once every five hundred years. It must be in Yun Ge’s hands now. We have no choice; whether Yun Ge is an enemy or a friend, we have to cooperate,” the head of the Guiyi Sect sighed, feeling like he had aged several decades ever since Ming Xuan’s Dantian was destroyed, rendering him a cripple.

“Head.” When Yun Ge saw the head of the Guiyi Sect, she felt a bit guilty seeing his current state.
“Yun Ge.” The head didn’t mention anything else, not even asking about the demonic cultivator, and went straight to the point. “I have brought what you wanted. What about the Lotus Heart?”
Yun Ge had to admit that the head of the Guiyi Sect was a good father figure. Usually, even cultivators would inquire about the demonic cultivator, but the head didn’t mention it at all.
“The matter with the junior head was unavoidable. Please convey my apologies to Ming Xuan on my behalf,” Yun Ge felt guilty; she hadn’t properly educated her disciple.
“… ” The head of the Guiyi Sect remembered Ming Xuan’s desolate state but didn’t say anything. He simply handed over what Yun Ge wanted.
Yun Ge gave the Lotus Heart to the head of the Guiyi Sect, took what she wanted, and left without caring about the head’s surprise.
When Yun Ge returned to Huan Mo, it was already dusk. Looking at the people waiting there, she felt a mix of emotions. She had already read everything given by the Guiyi Sect.
Inside were mentions of the Buddhist cultivator losing their Buddha body and falling into demonic practices. Yun Ge’s mood was complicated, and she didn’t say a word, just walked up to Huan Mo and Lin Yuan.
Seeing Yun Ge’s expression, Lin Yuan felt that there must be something unpleasant in what Yun Ge retrieved about Buddhist cultivation. However, with Huan Mo present, who was both the protagonist and boss, she didn’t dare to ask anything.
Huan Mo’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Yun Ge, brighter than the dazzling sunset. Seeing that look, Yun Ge had a surge of complex emotions.
