That night, after the two went back, Qin Ruoyun stayed awake for a long time, because of the hairpin, she thought of someone. In fact, it was the same as Zheng Lin guessed, the senior brother he didn't know, the young man in the broken temple, that was when Qin Ruoyun had just become an elder of the outer sect of the Qi Sect, and many people still looked down on her, but according to the arrangement of the sect, she accepted an apprentice named Lei Zhenshan. Therefore, the sect also gave her a storage ring.

At the beginning, Qin Ruoyun was very good to Lei Zhenshan, and he was with him every day, teaching him Zixia Gong, teaching him martial arts, and reading, etc., all accompanied him to complete it. Lei Zhenshan also enjoyed his time with her, he was very diligent and obedient, and it can be said that both the master and apprentice had a good time. But once Lei Zhenshan took a mission and went out for three days, Qin Ruoyun was very worried every day and would wait for him outside the mountain gate every day.

And when he came back, he was covered in blood, which frightened Qin Ruoyun and hurriedly asked him what happened. Lei Zhenshan smiled, but didn't tell her, but pulled her together to find the great elder of the outer gate at that time, Qiu Zufei, Lei Zhenshan told him about the attack on the people by the wolf tooth army on the way to the mission, and he fought bloodily with those wolf tooth army, and finally only rescued dozens of children.

originally thought that Qiu Zufei would arrange a place for those children, but when he heard Lei Zhenshan's words, he was angry.

"How many times have I told you, we cultivators, don't ask about worldly things, just focus on seeking truth and cultivating the Tao, and the war under the mountain is naturally managed by others, why are you a hero? Do you know how much disaster your behavior will bring to our Pure Yang Palace, drive those children out of the Pure Yang Palace, if the Wolf Tooth Army tracks it down, our Pure Yang Palace will not be able to escape. ”

When Qin Ruoyun heard this, she knew that Lei Zhenshan's temper would definitely make trouble, so she hurriedly spoke first: "Great Elder, do you want to discuss this matter with the head of the sect and a few real elders, after all, it is dozens of lives, and they are all children, we can't watch them starve to death and freeze to death." ”

But Qiu Zufei ignored Qin Ruoyun at all, insisted on driving those children out, and even said that it was not their children, not the people of the Pure Yang Palace, so he didn't need to pay attention to them at all. This incident made Lei Zhenshan angry and had malicious intentions towards Chunyang Palace, but in the final analysis, it was Qiu Zufei's judgment alone, and Li Wusheng and the others didn't know about it at all. But with Lei Zhenshan's identity, he couldn't talk to the high-level of Chunyang Palace, so he could only sulk by himself, Qin Ruoyun knew that he couldn't help the apprentices, so he could only hand over some of the money and silver he had saved to Lei Zhenshan and let him help those orphans.

I thought that this matter would be so simple to pass, but what Qin Ruoyun didn't expect was that something even more painful happened. For a period of time after that, the outer disciples would always lose some belongings, and the canteen would often lack some ingredients, but everyone didn't care about it at first, thinking that they had accidentally lost it. But this happened more and more often, and everyone began to suspect that there were thieves. And one night, an elder of the outer gate finally caught the thief, but when everyone saw his face, they were all shocked.

"Zhenshan... How, how are you? ”

Qin Ruoyun felt that her brain was a little blank, the thief that everyone had been rumoring about recently turned out to be her own apprentice, so she couldn't believe it anyway. According to the rules of the Pure Yang Palace, stealing other people's property is a felony, and it is either punished by sword death, or it is necessary to cut off both hands and feet, abolish martial arts, and expel from the Pure Yang Palace.

But how could she let Qin Ruoyun kill her favorite apprentice with a sword or even cut off her hands and feet, in desperation, she had no choice but to beg the Great Elder bitterly, she was willing to repay all the property losses, and only wanted to leave Lei Zhenshan's life and limbs. However, Qiu Zufei originally looked down on Qin Ruoyun, and he had no good impression of Lei Zhenshan, so he refused to agree to anything, and insisted on Lei Zhenshan's life, but Qin Ruoyun had been standing in front of Lei Zhenshan, and he had the intention of fighting with everyone. At this moment, fortunately, Rui came forward, and Qin Ruoyun even knelt down and begged.

In the end, Yu Ruinian did not abolish Lei Zhenshan's martial arts and limbs for Qin Ruoyun's pitiful sake, but just expelled him from the Pure Yang Palace and left him to fend for himself. After Lei Zhenshan left, Qin Ruoyun was listless all day long, and she had to find a way to repay the property stolen by Lei Zhenshan. On the one hand, she had to endure everyone's ridicule, except for the elders of the outer sect, even those disciples looked down on her, thinking that she and Lei Zhenshan were in the same group, during that time, Qin Ruoyun felt that the Pure Yang Palace was so cold, and he couldn't breathe from the cold...

Thinking of this, Qin Ruoyun looked at the hairpin and slowly shed tears, in the past few years, she has tried her best to ease her relationship with the elders and disciples, and has paid almost all her efforts, and in the end, everyone began to slowly accept her, until Zheng Lin appeared. Thinking of this, Qin Ruoyun got up from the bed and quietly went upstairs to look at Zheng Lin, Zheng Lin slept soundly at this time, Qin Ruoyun gently covered him with a quilt, and he went down to sleep.

The next morning, after Zheng Lin woke up, he found that Qin Ruoyun hadn't gotten up yet, so he didn't bother her, and went to the cafeteria alone. According to them, today is the last day to stay in Chunyang Palace, and then they will go back to Bailongkou to arrange the matter of the gang territory, Zheng Lin heard this, looked at Dugu and smiled, and then called Xiao Zhishui aside.

"Gang Master Xiao, although a gentleman does not take the favor of others, I still have something to discuss with you."

"Do you mean Dugu Xiao? You can rest assured, I talked to him, and I respect his decision, but if you don't treat him well one day and he runs back, you can't blame me. ”

Looking at Xiao Zhishui's joking appearance, Zheng Lin could only say thank you, after all, people let out the people of their own gang, and there were no conditions, just with their current identity and ability, they couldn't be convinced, and this was doomed, they and Jian Yuge would never be enemies.

All the major sects and gangs left the Chunyang Palace separately, Zheng Lin suddenly felt a lot more deserted, and he asked Dugu Xiao to follow the fairy tale to Bailongkou to arrange some trivial things. After everyone left, Qin Ruoyun looked at Zheng Lin with a smile.

"What's the matter, can't you bear them? Don't worry, sooner or later, you will have to go out on your own, and you will definitely meet them again and meet more people when the time comes. ”

Zheng Lin nodded, Qin Ruoyun patted him on the shoulder, and said.

"Okay, cheer up, it's time for us to continue cultivating, this time, I'm going to take you to actual combat. Let's go to Kongwu Peak, there are many scum and beasts in the rivers and lakes, almost all of them are hiding in the secret realm and are afraid of death, because the secret realm has special rules, just like a moss urn. Anyone who dies in the Secret Realm will be resurrected somewhere outside of the Secret Realm, or will be resurrected in the Secret Realm at intervals. This is the special rule of the secret realm, after so many years, no one has been able to figure out its principle, it seems to be the law of the Heavenly Dao. ”

As soon as Qin Ruoyun said this, Zheng Lin became strongly interested in the secret realm.
