Qi Lingxi came and went in utter silence, her departure as unfathomable as a ghost god, disappearing into thin air like a flash of light shattered in the air.

Lu Chengfeng regained his composure, staring blankly at the spot where she vanished. After a long time, he turned to Chu Zhihe and said, "Your future daughter-in-law is truly something else, let's go!"

He and Chu Zhihe boarded the jade chariot and soon arrived at the Dharma Form Palace.

As usual, Lu Chengfeng entered the palace alone, while Chu Zhihe remained outside to stand guard.

"You little rascal, you still know to come looking for me? Do you even realize the trouble you've caused?" Before Lu Chengfeng could speak, Yi Mingshu began to berate him with a chuckle.

But his tone carried not a hint of reprimand, instead sounding rather pleased.

Lu Chengfeng chuckled, "Dad, how would I know my charm was so great, that even Chu Tiange's own mother would kneel at my feet? You can't blame me for that."

"Hmph, even now you're not being honest. Do you think I don't know your true capabilities?" Yi Mingshu sneered disdainfully, "You think someone like you could make Chu Zhihe live and die by your words?"

"Hurry up and explain honestly, what exactly is going on?"

Lu Chengfeng had already thought up an excuse, and nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, "I have no idea what happened. That day, while I was cultivating, a red string suddenly appeared in my mind."

"Before I could react, a divine technique named Love Token inexplicably appeared in my mind. With a light touch, the red string burst into a mass of red light and exploded."

"Divine technique?! Love Token?" Hearing this, Yi Mingshu could no longer remain seated, promptly stepping forward to examine his son's body carefully, but unsurprisingly found nothing.

He furrowed his brows, "It seems there are indeed some secrets hidden within your body, but it's hard to tell whether it's a good thing or not..."

Yi Mingshu vaguely felt that this seemed like the power belonging to that immortal was awakening, causing him some unease.

However, he hadn't been idle during this time, but had instead been researching many ancient texts and addressing the issues appearing in Yi Wushuang.

"According to those ancient records, once an immortal reincarnates, before their past life's memories awaken, the higher their cultivation, the greater the influence of their new memories and emotions will be."

"Of course, as the cultivation gets deeper, the chance of awakening past life's memories increases as well."

"When exactly they'll awaken still depends on each individual's opportunity and creation."

He looked at Lu Chengfeng, his gaze flickering, and eventually made a decision, "Wushuang, this uproar you and Chu Zhihe caused in the sect was too great, nearly all the elders and true inheritance disciples have been alerted, gathering at my Dharma Form Palace demanding an explanation."

"Although I am the Sect Leader, I cannot silence everyone. In order to protect you, I have no choice but to make a compromise."

"I've promised them that Chu Zhihe will temporarily remain in Dharma Form Palace for secluded cultivation, and when Chu Tiange returns, he will engage in a debate with you to settle your grievances. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng almost jumped up, "Dad, it seems like you're trying to get me killed. What is Chu Tiange's cultivation compared to mine? If you don't want a son anymore, why not just say so."

"I might as well personally find you a few concubines and give you another child..."

Yi Mingshu's face darkened at what he heard, unable to resist flicking his sleeve and hitting Lu Chengfeng on the forehead, causing the rascal to stagger and almost fall.

"You're all grown up and still talking nonsense, I thought you had improved recently, but it seems I overestimated you."

"If you keep babbling nonsense, see how I deal with you."

"This matter is set, there's no room for discussion, or do you think they would let you off so easily otherwise?"

"If I hadn't agreed, with the whole Tao Vein's sentiments stirred, killing you outright wouldn't have been impossible."

Lu Chengfeng said somewhat exasperatedly, "What a nerve they have daring to be so impudent towards the Sect Leader? Old man, it seems like you're really weak for not being able to control your subordinates, yet you claim to be the Sect Leader?"

Yi Mingshu felt a bit humiliated being scolded like this by his own son, but indeed felt displeased in his heart. The Tao Vein's actions this time were indeed excessive, thinking they could force his hand by gathering forces.

He took a deep breath, his gaze returning to a calm, placid expression, "There are rules and laws within the sect. Even as Sect Leader, I can't speak unilaterally."

"But you are my son, and I naturally won't let you die in vain. I'll send you away to lay low for a while. By then, even if Chu Tiange returns, as long as you don't show your face, the debate will be moot."

"Once the storm has passed, I'll arrange for you to return."

"Are you serious, old man?" Lu Chengfeng looked at his adoptive father with wide eyes, "You're really giving up like that, telling me to run away?"

"What else can I do?" Yi Mingshu waved the duster in his hand, a look of utter helplessness.

"I call bullshit!" Lu Chengfeng cursed inwardly, knowing from Yi Wushuang's memories that Yi Mingshu was always a relentless character, and thinking he would retreat without a fight was a pipe dream.

"Dad, I can't stomach this. No matter what happens, I absolutely will not sneak away so disgracefully." Lu Chengfeng displayed a youthful arrogance and defiance.
