A mysterious man in the Boundless Wind and Moon Tower confirms Lin Zheng is not the owner of the spirit key but may be Lin Qingyuan's son. He reflects on Lin Zheng's unusual resilience to torture and trauma, speculating that Ye Shu, who possesses the spirit key, has developed strong emotions in the mortal world, creating a vulnerability. When a commotion erupts outside, caused by Shen Qilang's anger over Wan Tao's humiliation, the man is alarmed by Shen's pure Divine Breath. Fearing the Immortal Clan's discovery of Ye Shu, he postpones his plans and decides to appease Shen Qilang with the new oiran, Yan Ting, even if it means displeasing the three Immortal envoys.

But before long, he returned to the guest room and knelt down with a very peculiar expression.

The man behind the bead curtain lost his patience: "What, can’t even handle such a trivial matter? What’s the use of keeping you around?"

"No, Master... This matter doesn’t require much negotiation. Shen Qilang’s conduct truly doesn’t seem like that of an immortal clan member.

After meeting Yan Ting, he was very satisfied and accepted the apology and compensation from Boundless Wind and Moon Tower, feeling exceptionally exuberant.

Even when he heard it was handed over from those three Immortal Servants, he seemed to have found kindred spirits.

Very generously... invited the three to join him in the room for a chat."

An unexpected development.

The man’s mouth twitched, his palm resting on his forehead, speaking weakly: "Such unique behavior for a patron, in heaven or the mortal world, only one person comes to mind, today’s affair... truly a mess."

The servant hesitated for a moment and said: "But to me, Yan Ting seemed not as simple as she appeared tonight.

For someone as romantic as Shen Qilang, encountering someone he desires, it is unprecedented for him to back down.

Yet tonight, he left the room soon after entering.

For some unknown reason, he eventually let Yan Ting be with those three Immortal Servants, retreating to Wan Tao’s room instead."

The man lowered his hand from his forehead, his tone suddenly becoming rich:

"Oh? He didn’t stay in the room, refrained from indulging when seeing a feast, tonight’s Oiran, quite intriguing..."

The fox demon Ting Yan sat on the beauty couch cold sweat.

Within the Qi Sea, the breath of Immortal Spirit left by the Golden Immortal White Sun Cave Master was boiling, hard to calm.

She suddenly regretted choosing tonight to gather intelligence.

Earlier, when the man named Shen Qilang wanted to get closer to her, only three or four steps away.

The Qi from the Golden Immortal within her almost seemed to explode from every pore.

She knew clearly, only a Venerable Immortal above the Golden Immortal rank could provoke the Immortal Energy left by a Golden Immortal with a mere gesture.

At that moment, her identity was exposed to the man.

From his bewildered gaze, she could see he had guessed everything about her and the relationship with the Golden Immortal White Sun Cave Master.

The lust, admiration, and fondness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by clear and distinct cold clarity.

Ting Yan also deduced the man’s identity.

A noble Venerable Immortal, if he were to have a fleeting encounter with her here.

The aura would inevitably remain inside her, he could not avoid speculating that if the Golden Immortal White Sun favored her afterward, it would discover his aura traces.

Then, the Venerable Immortal’s endeavor would certainly spread throughout the Upper Pure Immortal Realm.

What a scandalous affair.

So Shen Qilang chose to withdraw and showed generosity to the unsuspecting three Immortal Servants.

He surrendered her, distancing himself and timely extracting himself.

Ting Yan was uncertain about the trouble tonight’s exposure would bring her.

Nor could she confirm whether such a figure of the Venerable Immortal, after knowing this, would keep it in mind?

Returning to the Immortal Realm, investigating the White Sun Cave Master’s secretive mortal traversal altering fate, eventually sending her back to the netherworld, stripping her cultivation and longevity.
