"Little girl, take your master back to the sect. Don't mention my matters; just report everything else truthfully."

Standing in front of the city gate, Lu Qing softly instructed Wang Xin.

"Why can't I mention you?" Wang Xin asked, puzzled.

"Since the moment you sent out a call for help until now, has anyone from the Cloud Mirror Sect gone to rescue you?" Lu Qing blandly replied, "Both your brother and Lin Kaiwei managed to arrive, so has everyone in your sect's elder council perished?"

With a cold laugh, Lu Qing continued, "There must be internal strife within your sect, and... there might even be someone colluding with the Deserters. Be very careful when you return. If you truly can't stay, you can go find your brother. Whether it's the Profound Moon Sword Sect or the Judgment Department, they can both ensure your safe departure."

Colluding with the Deserters!

This statement immediately caused Wang Xin's face to change dramatically.

If what Lu Qing said is true, then being trapped at Broken Dragon Cliff might not have been an accident but rather someone's carefully designed trap!

"The matter of Brother Lu appearing in the Wilderness is only known by the two of us and the Deserters... So, if anyone within the sect knows about this, they must be a traitor colluding with the Deserters!" Wang Xin quickly realized the meaning behind Lu Qing's words.

"Little girl is quite astute. If the Cloud Mirror Sect doesn't suit you anymore, consider joining your brother at the Judgment Department. The lady there should like you." With a carefree smile, Lu Qing waved and said, "I won't interrupt your sibling reunion. Wang Junze, come to the inn to see the lady later."

After saying these words, Lu Qing took the lead and left.

"Should I accompany you back to the sect first?"

Looking at his sister, Wang Junze asked softly.

With Han Ying dead, Wang Xin lost her backing in the Cloud Mirror Sect. If anyone is indeed colluding with the Deserters, there might truly be danger.

"No need!" Shaking her head, Wang Xin refused, "Brother, I can handle it! I'll definitely get to the bottom of this. If Master was truly killed by someone, no matter who it is, I will avenge my Master!"

"Alright, but if there's real danger, remember to notify me. Don't take it all on yourself, understand?" Wang Junze instructed again.

At this time, going back to the Cloud Mirror Sect with Wang Xin isn't a good idea. His strength and status aren't enough to intimidate people from the Cloud Mirror Sect. Staying hidden might be better than appearing.

After giving his residence details to his sister, Wang Junze advised again, "If you can't find me and there's an urgent matter, you can also go to Fuyun Inn to find Brother Lu and the Commandery Princess. They are trustworthy."

"Okay, brother, I remember. You take care of yourself too."

After giving Wang Junze a hug, Wang Xin then picked up her Master's body once again and turned towards the direction of the Cloud Mirror Sect.

Watching his sister leave, Wang Junze took a deep breath before heading towards the inn.

Back at the inn, Wang Junze quickly met with Su Yuwei.

"Since you heard about the disciples of the Cloud Mirror Sect being trapped, tell me everything that happened afterward, in full detail without leaving anything out."

Sitting in the chair, Su Yuwei directly asked.

"Alright!"

Nodding earnestly, Wang Junze reviewed the entire incident and then slowly recounted the events.

Whether it was seeking assistance from Su Yuwei and Lu Qing at the inn and not finding them, or later in the Extreme North Wilderness encountering Jing Yuan and Nini, and even Jing Yuan setting up a layout to force Lin Kaiwei into Broken Dragon Cliff, he narrated everything without any concealment.

Throughout this process, Su Yuwei did not interrupt Wang Junze once, until she quietly listened to everything. Then she slightly frowned.

After pondering for a while, Su Yuwei slowly spoke, "There are several matters you need to note; let's address them one by one."

Extending her fingers, Su Yuwei said calmly, "First, Yuan Shouyi wants to kill you! Or at least... wants to see you dead!"

"Why? I don't seem to have any conflicts with him!"

Yuan Shouyi is the City Lord of Jubei City, and Wang Junze certainly knew this.

But Wang Junze couldn't quite comprehend why the City Lord wanted to kill him. He recalled that during his time at the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Shouyi's attitude was very mild, agreeing to any request without hesitation.

"If you join the Profound Moon Sword Sect, naturally there's no conflict. But if you join the Judgment Department... that's another matter." Lu Qing chuckled coldly, "It seems that Yuan Shouyi has already guessed our intention to establish a Judgment Department branch in Jubei City."

"Not enough!" Shaking her head, Su Yuwei calmly said, "If he simply didn't want the Judgment Department's supervision, he could employ softer measures. Winning over Wang Junze is also an option, there's no need for such extreme actions, even colluding with the Lin Family, luring us away, and forcing Wang Junze into the Extreme North Wilderness."

"Unless he's hiding some secret that, once discovered, would undoubtedly turn us against him."

"The Commandery Princess means... he's the one colluding with the Deserters?" A light bulb flashed in Wang Junze's mind, yet he still found it hard to believe and asked with a slight tremble.

If the City Lord of Jubei City is colluding with the Deserters, that would be a huge matter.
