Because he wanted to send Murong Lei home as soon as possible, Pei Yun did not stop along the way. He rushed for more than two months and finally arrived at a small town near Shengdan City...

There are quite a lot of people in this small town. It might be because Shengdan City is about to hold a grand event to recruit disciples. Many of them are foreign monks heading to Shengdan City and happen to pass by here.

In the inn where Pei Yun was staying temporarily, he met groups of monks wearing the same sect's uniform, as well as some children from alchemy families.

The lobby of the inn was bustling with activity. During the meal, Pei Yun could hear a lot of gossip and rumors that Shengdan City was recruiting disciples.

After resting in this town for a day, Pei Yun led Murong Lei away.

I thought Murong Lei had to find the way home by himself, but unexpectedly, I met Murong Lei's family before I reached Shengdan City.

Murong Lei's sister Murong Qian hugged him and cried excitedly. His brother Murong Yi also had red eyes and kept touching his little head.

Murong Lei, needless to say, had been worried and frightened for several months, and had suffered so much, and now that he finally saw his relatives, this naughty child burst into tears...

Pei Yun stood silently aside, not disturbing the reunion of the three.

Since her mother passed away, she has never experienced such warm family love. Seeing Murong Lei's joy after reuniting with his family, she felt both envious and relieved.

Since Murong Lei's family had been found, there was no need to go to Shengdan City first. Pei Yun decided to visit the people of the Murong clan in Taoxi Village first, and then go to Shengdan City to see what was going on...

On the way back to Taoxi Village, Murong Lei recounted in detail what happened after he was abducted, especially what happened after he met Pei Yun. After seeing his family, Murong Lei became bolder and took Pei Yun's hand and said, "Sister Pei, you can stay in Taoxi Village as long as you want. My parents will definitely treat you well..."

"You little brat, you still have the nerve to mention your parents? Go back and get beaten!" Murong Yi slapped his head in annoyance.

Murong Qian smiled and said gratefully: "Miss Pei, thank you so much for saving me. My Murong family doesn't know how to thank you. You must stay in Taoxi Village for a few more days so that we can entertain you well..."

"Miss Murong, you are too polite. Eliminating evil and promoting good, as well as protecting the people are the responsibilities of those of us who practice Taoism. I am just following my own heart..." Pei Yun waved his hand and smiled faintly.

After talking for a while, they finally arrived at Taoxi Village. Murong Lei's family members had received the news, and many people from the whole family gathered at the entrance of the village. When they saw Murong Lei appear safely in front of everyone, they cried with joy after another reunion.

Murong Lei's father Murong Wei had a hot temper and almost beat his son on the spot, but fortunately he was stopped by everyone and escaped.

Murong Lei's family treated Pei Yun as a distinguished guest, expressed their gratitude to him a lot, and even held a special banquet for him. After a busy whole day, Pei Yun finally sat alone in the courtyard of the guest house and breathed a sigh of relief.

Murong Lei had just returned home, and his family must have wanted to get together and chat more, so Pei Yun did not disturb them. After a few days, he decided to visit the patriarch of the Murong clan, Murong Lei's grandfather, Murong Zhan.

"Miss Pei, please wait outside. I will go and inform the clan leader." The servant said respectfully.

"Thank you."

Pei Yun swore that she really didn't mean to listen to gossip, but the people inside spoke too loudly and there was no barrier, so she ended up knowing the truth about Murong Lei being abducted.

"Clan leader... Uncle, Zhier really didn't mean it. He just listened to the instigation of others. Please forgive him..."

"It wasn't intentional? He deliberately led Lei'er to Shengdan City and threw him into the dark room of those human traffickers. You actually have the nerve to say it wasn't intentional!"

"Uncle, uncle, Zhier is young and hot-tempered. He usually has some conflicts with Leier. He was provoked by the villain and went astray. Please don't drive him out of the Murong family. He is not even eighteen years old. If you drive him out, how can he survive..."

"He's so cruel at such a young age. If Lei'er hadn't been saved by a noble person, have you ever thought about what would have happened to him as a ten-year-old? When you pleaded for your son, did you think about his parents?"

Murong Zhan paused and said, "Since you said he is under 18, then lock him up in the cell in the back mountain and kick him out when he turns 18..."

"uncle……"

"Stop talking and get out!"

It turns out that Murong Lei was not abducted accidentally, but was the result of a feud between family members.

"Miss Pei, you can go in now."

"Thank you."

Pei Yun followed the servant into the front hall and met the man who begged for mercy. The man stared at Pei Yun with a sinister look, and the two passed each other without saying anything.

Pei Yun raised his eyebrows and walked in.

"Greetings to Chief Murong." Pei Yun bowed and saluted.

"Miss Pei, you are too polite. Please take a seat." Murong Zhan had a gray beard, a kind face, and a gentle tone, not at all as majestic as she had heard outside just now.

"I'm sorry to bother Patriarch Murong, but I actually have another purpose for coming to Taoxi Village..." Pei Yun said, "I'm from Beiqizhou, and I once had an old friend in Beiqizhou who also had the surname Murong, so I want to ask if the Murong family has any branches in Beiqizhou..."

"Oh! What's the name of your old friend?"

"Murong Ji." This is the name of her grandfather.

"... This, no one in my Murong clan has ever been called this name, and my Murong clan has always lived in seclusion in Nanyuezhou, and there has never been a branch in Beiqizhou..."

"So that's the case. It might just be a coincidence."

It was not a pity for Pei Yun to get this news. After all, even if it was really her mother's clan, she would not recognize it. Her Space Spirit Palace must not be exposed. If the people of Murong's clan knew the existence of the Space Spirit Palace, they would most likely guess that it was in her hands.

Pei Yun chatted with Murong Zhan for a while and wanted to say goodbye and leave. Unexpectedly, Murong Zhan was suddenly startled, and then looked at her with an ambiguous look: "Miss Pei, the ancestor of my Murong clan just sent me a message, he wants to see you, I wonder if you can go and see him?"

Pei Yun's heart was shocked and she suddenly felt a little uneasy. The first thing she thought of was that her spatial spiritual palace would not be exposed. She felt a little regretful now. If she had known that she would send Murong Lei back, she should have left immediately.

Things had been going smoothly for so long that her vigilance had dropped.

However, Pei Yun could only pretend to be calm at this moment, and said with a flattered smile: "Since it is the invitation of Patriarch Murong, how dare I refuse, Patriarch Murong, please lead the way..."

Murong Zhan led Pei Yun to a courtyard deep in Taoxi Village. This place was also a forbidden area. No one except the clan leader was allowed to enter unless allowed.

So along the way, when the people of Taoxi Village saw their chief taking Pei Yun to the forbidden area, they were all very surprised.

"Father, what happened? Why did Grandfather take Miss Pei there?"

Murong Yi looked at the two men's backs and said solemnly that he had a very good impression of Pei Yun and did not want to involve her in the fight between the various factions in the clan because of his family.

"...Don't worry, father knows what he is doing." Murong Wei narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

Murong Lei led Pei Yun into the courtyard, which was full of peach trees. A breeze blew by, and the pink petals fell slowly...

Pei Yun secretly observed and found that this courtyard was protected by a formation, with the peach tree as the formation point. Murong Zhan led her through many twists and turns, and walked a long way before entering a palace...

"Ancestor, I have brought the people here." Murong Zhan said respectfully.

"Let her come in alone first."

"Yes."

Pei Yun also heard this, nodded to Murong Zhan, opened the sliding door and walked in...

Suddenly, Pei Yun felt that she had come to the starry sky world on the second floor of the space tower. All around her, under her feet and above her was a brilliant starry sky. The only difference between here and the starry sky world was that there was no secret space.

She felt as if she had come to another space. Although the palace was not big, she felt as if she had walked for a long time before she saw this old ancestor Murong.

To Pei Yun's surprise, this old man looked very young, and looked about the same as Luo Rufeng. He was wearing a purple robe, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed not far away, with various golden Taoist symbols floating around him, and a colorful ball of light floating in front of him, shining brightly...

Pei Yun clearly felt a sense of space from him, in addition to a familiar aura. She thought for a while before she remembered that this was the aura in the Time Disk - the time realm. This old man Murong was actually good at the way of time and space!

The artistic conception of space and time is the highest artistic conception!

"Mr. Pei, thank you for sending Murong Lei back to the Murong family..." Murong Yan said, his voice seemed close to his ear, yet seemed far away in the sky.

"Thank you for being polite, ancestor. I am just doing things according to my own conscience..." Pei Yun came back to his senses and bowed quickly.

"You not only saved Lei'er, but also saved the future of my Murong clan."

Pei Yun was confused. This was too exaggerated!

"Lei'er has excellent talent. He is the most talented child in my Murong family in recent years." Murong Yan smiled softly.

Pei Yun's heart was tense at the moment, he was anxious and worried that his space would be exposed.

She listened to Murong Yan respectfully and looked up at him unintentionally. At that moment, Murong Yan's eyes opened. One of his eyes actually took on the shape of a starry sky and stared straight at Pei Yun...

Pei Yun seemed to be attracted by the starry sky in his eyes. He stared at him in a daze. Their eyes met for a long time before he came to his senses.

Pei Yun lowered her head in panic. Just now, she felt as if she had been completely seen through by this person. She was at a loss as to what to do, but she heard -

"Strange, really strange..." Murong Yan's eyes returned to normal and he looked at her meaningfully, "I can't even see your luck!"
