"No need for this." Shen Yanli said, trying to urge her to get up.
Shen Yanli shook her head firmly and said, "No, this is the only way I can repay you now. If possible, I hope to meet you all again in the next life to repay you."
"Quickly get up! Your time is running short. I know in this life, you and Wang Yiqian are deeply in love, but because of Wang Xicai's obstruction, you were separated by life and death, which is so unfortunate. Actually, your love story isn't over yet. After you passed away, Wang Yiqian died for love, turning into a spirit and heading for reincarnation. He is still searching for you, wanting to enter the Reincarnation Path with you and continue your bond in the next life. Right now, he is waiting for you at the Naihe Bridge in Hell, so go find him quickly! In the next life, may you be a loving and harmonious couple, happily spending a lifetime together." Shen Yanli blessed them.
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable!" Du Yan was moved to tears, quickly took out the Magic Flute from her clothes, and placed it in Shen Yanli's hand. "This is something that the Nine Elements left with me. I feel it has great power. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you now, hoping you would accept it."
Shen Yanli took the Magic Flute and examined it carefully.
"Thank you."
Du Yan gently shook her head, "You helped me so much, I should be the one thanking you."
"Quickly go find your Qian Lang! He's been waiting for you..." Shen Yanli formed a seal with her hands, and a white light scattered over Du Yan like stars all across the sky. The dark aura around her gradually dissipated, the vibrant makeup on her face slowly faded, and the purple robe gradually turned white. Under Shen Yanli's spell, it turned into a dot, the space cracked open with a rift, and that light flew in. Everything before them returned to normal.
Mo Bai watched as everything vanished before him. He tilted his adorable head and asked Shen Yanli, "Master, did Du Yan go to find Wang Yiqian?"
Shen Yanli nodded slightly, "Yes."
"Master, you truly are a master! You're really amazing!" Mo Bai praised with a thumbs up.
Shen Yanli glanced at him, curving the corner of his lips slightly.
"This magic is amazing! Master, when are you going to teach me?" Mo Bai pestered Shen Yanli.
"After you achieve Foundation Establishment." Shen Yanli replied lightly.
Mo Bai was suddenly left speechless. Foundation Establishment? It's impossible to achieve in this lifetime because of his poor qualifications! Mo Bai wanted to cry but had no tears.
The two laughed and walked back to Shu Wang Pavilion, and saw Fu Chuan of the Demon Extermination Sect standing in front of the yard, seemingly waiting for someone.
Shen Yanli approached, and Fu Chuan saw Shen Yanli and bowed slightly in salute.
"May I ask what brings Mr. Fu Chuan here?" Shen Yanli asked curiously, looking at the man in combat attire before him.
Fu Chuan smiled slightly and presented the Vermilion Bird Token representing the Demon Extermination Sect, then replied, "I have come by the order of the Grandmaster, for the matter of exorcising the evil spirits of the Wang Family in White Cloud Village. The client is Wang Xicai. Due to Immortal Master Shen's improper extermination of the demon, which led to Wang Xicai's death, I am here to..."
Before Fu Chuan could finish, Shen Yanli interjected, "So you're here to punish me, right?"
Fu Chuan admired Shen Yanli's intelligence and nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
"What! You are not allowed to punish my master!" Mo Bai angrily interrupted.
Shen Yanli looked at Fu Chuan and continued to ask, "So how will the punishment be carried out?"
"Thirty lashes." Fu Chuan read the decree and replied.
Shen Yanli took the decree from Fu Chuan's hand and said straightforwardly, "If that's the case, then I have nothing to say."
Mo Bai anxiously blocked in front of Shen Yanli, preventing Fu Chuan from approaching, "Master, I won't let you suffer any punishment!"
"Stand aside! These are the rules of the Demon Extermination Sect. Since I have already acted this way, it means I have thought of the consequences." Shen Yanli scolded.
"No! Master, you're not wrong! The wrong is with the indiscriminate sect rules!" Mo Bai shouted angrily.
