Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Unknowingly Went Astray

Yun Ying nodded, "I gave her a chance, trying to get her to tell the truth, but she ignored me and even brought out Grandpa to pressure me. My grandpa is old, after all, and Yun Qi is the youngest child in the family. It’s understandable for Grandpa to be protective. What’s more frightening is that I wanted to continue the investigation this morning, but the Hai City branch received a call from the Capital City headquarters saying that the Li Mingshen case cannot be investigated further, and they didn’t provide a clear reason."

Her words shocked everyone.

People started discussing:

"What’s going on here?"

"There have been precedents of children practicing evil cultivation. In fact, some children are inherently evil, and without proper guidance, they fall into the evil path more easily than adults."

"Yeah, Yun Qi was sent to Yuqing Mountain at a very young age without family oversight and discipline, who knows when she went astray."

"Moreover, she is an heir of the Yun Family; it’s possible that the evil cultivation organization deliberately pulled her down to smear the Righteous Sect and the Xuan Sect."

...

With everyone discussing like this, Yun Ying felt even more confident.

"I don’t know what’s happening at the Capital City headquarters of Division 49 that they could be deceived by a child. But Yun Qi’s matter absolutely cannot be ignored, it must be thoroughly investigated."

White-bearded Master Fang stepped out and said, "Miss Yun is right, Division 49 is Division 49, and the Xuan Sect is the Xuan Sect. If there is truly evil cultivation, it should be purged according to the ancestors’ rules."

"Especially child practitioners of evil cultivation must be found out early; children are the best at pretending to be cute and enchanting people, more frightening than adult evil cultivators," said Chang Daoist, holding a horsetail whisk.

"I don’t understand high principles, but evil cultivation disrupting the market of the Xuan Sect affects my business, I support handling it seriously," said a burly man with a loud voice, dressed in Otherworld clothing, with large silver earrings hanging from his ears.

In a moment, everyone was filled with indignation.

Yun Ying motioned for everyone to calm down with a hand gesture and continued, "After all, it’s my family member, it’s inconvenient for me to step out personally, I must trouble all you elders with this."

"Don’t worry, I’m on equal footing with your grandfather, I’ll go talk to him," Master Fang patted his chest and stepped forward.

The setting sun cast its glow on a pond in the courtyard, half of the water shimmering red, occasionally a carp swishing its tail beneath the lotus leaves, leaving ripples in its wake.

The Old Master was patiently teaching Yun Qi how to fish, while Yun Qiuce lay on a stone platform teasing a large turtle.

The turtle lay on the stone platform basking in the breeze, its neck stretched out with closed eyes, looking like a meditating monk.

Yun Qiuce teased it with a small fish; seeing it open its mouth to eat, he quickly pulled away.

The Old Master glanced at him, "When it bites you later, don’t scream."

"Oh, Dad, you think I’m that stupid?"

As they played, a steward hurriedly came up and whispered something in the Old Master’s ear.

The Old Master’s expression immediately became serious, "So many people are here? Didn’t they say what for?"

"No, they all seem very excited," the steward, also unfamiliar with the scene, nervously replied.

"I see. You stay here and keep watch, I’ll go meet them myself."

The Old Master turned around with a smile, "Some old friends of mine have arrived, Qi, let your uncle teach you fishing."

Yun Qiuce confidently rolled up his sleeves, "Come on, I’m not worse at fishing than your grandpa."

"Uncle’s bragging!" the sweet young voice revealed him mercilessly.

The Old Master chuckled, turned, and left, his expression turning somewhat solemn.

Upon arriving in the front hall, he glanced over and indeed saw the prominent figures of the Xuan Sect gathered there.

It had been many years since he’d seen such a scene, and Yun Ying stood among them, eyes gleaming, confident and composed.

The Old Master had already guessed the matter at hand, promptly cleared his throat, and strode forward.
