Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Ye Ling'er took a deep breath and said slowly: "Since you have discovered it, I have nothing to hide. I am indeed not the real Ye Ling'er."

Lu Yuan frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of anger: "Who are you? Where is the real Ye Ling'er? Why did you pretend to be her to approach us?"

Ye Ling'er smiled bitterly: "My name is Lin Yue, and I am Ye Ling'er's personal maid. The real Ling'er was imprisoned by the Palace Master, and I did this to save her."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly: "Save her? Then why don't you just tell us the truth? Instead of hiding it from us and using us?"

Lin Yue's eyes flashed with guilt: "I know it's wrong for me to do this, but I have no other choice. The Palace Master is too powerful. If I tell you the truth directly, you may not believe me, and it may also alert the enemy and put Ling'er in a more dangerous situation."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment. He knew that what Lin Yue said made sense, but he still couldn't accept the fact that he was being used.

"Then what is your purpose? Is it just to save Ye Ling'er?"

Lu Yuan continued to ask.

Lin Yue nodded: "Yes, my goal is to save Ling'er."

"The Palace Master has always wanted to get a treasure from Ling'er. That treasure is very important to Ling'er. She would rather die than give it to the Palace Master."

"That's why I came up with this idea. I hope to use your power to rescue Ling'er and take back the treasure."

Lu Yuan frowned: "What treasure? Is it worth taking such a big risk?"

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "This treasure is called the Water Spirit Pearl, and it is our family heirloom. It has powerful power and can control the water element. The Palace Master has always coveted the power of the Water Spirit Pearl and wants to take it for himself."

Lu Yuan's heart moved, he remembered that in the battle in the Nether Palace, Ye Ling'er did seem to have demonstrated some abilities related to the water element.

"Then why did you choose us? We don't even know you, why do you think we will help you?"

Lu Yuan asked.

Lin Yue looked at Lu Yuan and said sincerely: "I feel a sense of justice in you. I believe you will definitely help us. Moreover, you are very strong. With your help, our chances of success will be greater."

Lu Yuan looked at Lin Yue, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

He knew that Lin Yue did this just to save his master.

"So what are you going to do now?" Lu Yuan asked.

A hint of determination flashed in Lin Yue's eyes: "We are almost at Qingfeng Town, that is our territory. I will find a chance to take you to rescue Ling'er, and then take back the Water Spirit Pearl together."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, since things have developed to this point, we can only take it one step at a time. But remember, if you dare to make any small moves again, I will never let you go."

Lin Yue nodded quickly: "I understand, I won't lie to you again." Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, stared at Lin Yue with a sharp gaze, and sneered: "Lin Yue, you are still lying to me, do you really think we are so easy to fool?"

Lin Yue's face changed, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Mr. Lu, why do you say that? Everything I said is true, not a single word is false."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, took a step forward, and said, "You said you were Ye Ling'er's personal maid, then let me ask you, Ye Ling'er has a birthmark on her body, where is it?"

Lin Yue was suddenly speechless, his eyes began to avoid, and he stammered, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan was more certain of his guess and continued, "Also, you said that the Palace Master coveted the Water Spirit Pearl, but as far as I know, the Palace Master of the Nether Palace is good at poison magic and is not interested in treasures that control water elements. What is your purpose in making up such a lie?"

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Lin Yue knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Mr. Lu, I know I was wrong. I did hide something from you. But I really wanted to save Ling'er, please believe me."

Lu Yuan frowned and looked at Lin Yue kneeling on the ground, feeling a little hesitant. Seeing this, his companion said, "Lu Yuan, don't listen to her. She's full of lies. Who knows if what she said this time is true or false."

After Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, he said, "Get up and tell us everything. If you dare to tell a lie again, don't blame us for being rude."

Lin Yue stood up, wiped her tears, and said slowly: "In fact, Ling'er was not imprisoned by the Palace Master, but she voluntarily stayed in the palace."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan and the others were shocked and asked in unison: "What's going on?"

Lin Yue took a deep breath and said, "Ling'er discovered that the Palace Master was secretly planning a huge conspiracy that would endanger the entire martial arts world. In order to stop the Palace Master, she decided to go deep into the palace to find evidence. And I, in order to help Ling'er, made up these lies and wanted to lure you into the palace together."

Lu Yuan frowned and asked, "What about the Water Spirit Pearl?"

Lin Yue said: "The Water Spirit Pearl is indeed our family heirloom, but it is not what the Palace Master wants. What the Palace Master really wants is a secret book in Ling'er's hand. It is said that this secret book records a peerless martial arts. Once mastered, one can dominate the martial arts world."

Lu Yuan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected the matter to be so complicated. Lu Yuan asked, "Why don't you just tell us the truth?"

Lin Yue said helplessly: "I'm afraid that if I tell you the truth directly, you won't believe me, and this matter is of great importance. I can't take the risk of letting the Palace Master find out about our plan."

Lu Yuan was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I'll believe what you said for now. So what are you going to do now?"

Lin Yue's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "Let's go to Qingfeng Town as planned, and then I will find a way to contact Ling'er and see what's going on over there. If there's a chance, we'll go into the palace together and stop the palace master's conspiracy."

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this. But you'd better not play any more tricks, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

On the way to Qingfeng Town, Lu Yuan and others were obviously much colder towards Lin Yue. Lin Yue also knew that his behavior caused their dissatisfaction, so he was careful along the way and tried not to conflict with them.

Finally, the group arrived at Qingfeng Town. Lin Yue led them to a secluded courtyard and said, "This is where we will stay. You guys take a rest here first. I will contact Ling'er."

After saying that, Lin Yue left in a hurry. Lu Yuan and others looked around the courtyard and found that although it was simple, it was decorated very warmly. (End of this chapter)
