The morning sun shone brightly, and the current Minghai City truly embodied the concept of a harmonious society. As a result, street thieves were a rarity, which was unusual for many cities.

Minghai Academy, a place that had witnessed many earth-shaking events over two months ago, had now returned to tranquility. Many former student delinquents had gradually changed their mindset, realizing that a life of crime wasn't the best path. Even if they intended to live that way, they'd at least have to be clever about it.

At Minghai Academy's office building, in the Federation Language Exchange Group.

A month ago, a new Federation Language Exchange Group was formed here. This was a team consisting of all the foreign language teachers at Minghai Academy. Of course, the school also had other groups, such as the Language Exchange Group, Math Exchange Group, etc.

Near the Federation Language Exchange Group was an independent office, the largest room within the group. Naturally, it was the office of the group leader. Normally, no one dared to disturb here, not because the leader was particularly authoritative, but perhaps due to the position's status.

The leader of the Federation Language Group was none other than Su Yun!

As the leader of the Federation Language Group, Su Yun naturally had much more work than before. Actually, after Ye Xiao left Minghai City, Su Yun had also considered leaving, but eventually, she decided to stay. Teaching here was quite good, and in the evenings during her rest, she would focus on cultivating Inner Strength. Also, Ye Xiao had given her pills he refined, which made her cultivation progress quickly.

At this moment, Su Yun was preparing for a small Federation Language seminar for the exchange group that afternoon. As the group leader, she had to make many decisions herself.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, the office door was knocked. Without raising her head, Su Yun said, "Come in!"

Su Yun was very gentle by nature. At least within the entire Minghai Academy, she maintained extremely harmonious relationships with her colleagues. Because of Ye Xiao, even Principal Deng Yuanfeng and Principal Yao Zhengming gave her considerable respect. Nonetheless, she wasn't one to be arrogant about it.

At the moment, she was carefully revising the materials needed for the afternoon, thinking the person entering was another teacher from the Federation Language Group. Without looking up, she said, "We're still missing one essay from a senior class for the seminar. It must be ready before the afternoon seminar."

The person walked to Su Yun's desk, picked up her teacup, went to the water dispenser to refill it, and then returned to her desk. Su Yun continued looking at the Federation Language materials without raising her head.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Su Yun still didn't look up. She noticed a somewhat inaccurate Federation Language sentence and drew a line on it with her pen, writing some neat little notes indicating modifications were needed.

The person remained silent, placing the teacup beside Su Yun's documents, clearly reminding her to drink more water.

Su Yun felt puzzled and immediately looked up at the person refilling her cup.

But when Su Yun raised her head and saw the person who refilled her cup, she was completely taken aback.

Ye Xiao grinned, looking at the dumbfounded Su Yun. He had returned to Sunshine Garden yesterday evening, so Su Yun didn't know he was back and had been worried about him.

But now that Ye Xiao stood before her, how could Su Yun not be astonished?

After a while, Su Yun finally reacted, joyfully saying, "Ye Xiao, you're back?"

Seeing Su Yun's shocked face, Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "What? Are you surprised I came back? Or were you not expecting me to return?"

Su Yun quickly said, "I was just worried about you. After all, Cold Moon Sect is like a dragon's den."

"Haha, you're right, Cold Moon Sect is indeed a perilous place!" Ye Xiao affirmed, but soon laughed and said, "But didn't you know I'm adept at taming dragons and tigers?"

Watching Ye Xiao now, who looked relaxed and a bit proud, Su Yun felt truly relieved.

Su Yun walked around the desk, shook her head, and said with a wry smile, "I was worried if you could handle the people of Cold Moon Sect. By the way, where's Yulu? Has she gone to Sunshine Garden?"

"I didn't bring her back," Ye Xiao said.

While Su Yun was on her way to make tea for Ye Xiao, she stopped in shock at Ye Xiao's words, staring at him. After all, Ye Xiao had just been boasting about taming dragons and tigers, yet he returned alone when he went to rescue someone.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I feel as if Lu Lu is more important to you than I am," Ye Xiao said, glancing at Su Yun.

Su Yun placed the empty cup on the nearby table and said, "What did you do? Did Cold Moon Sect take Lu Lu hostage, and you just came back? No wonder you're back so quickly. Let's quickly think about how to rescue Lu Lu."

Saying this, Su Yun sat on the sofa next to Ye Xiao, brows furrowed.

Evidently, this led to a misunderstanding for Su Yun.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Do you really think I'm just a coward?"

"I didn't say that," Su Yun replied, looking at Ye Xiao still chuckling, and said, "How can you still laugh? Wait, do you have something you're not telling me?"

"Hehe, you saw through it. Oh dear, how am I supposed to get by?" Ye Xiao wore a bitter smile.

Su Yun heard Ye Xiao's words and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret!" Ye Xiao said.

Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Why so mysterious? Could it be that the people from Cold Moon Sect saw Lu Lu's exceptional talent and decided to keep her? That doesn't seem possible."

"Eh, you guessed right. That's exactly the case," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "Go pour me some tea."

Listening to Ye Xiao, Su Yun observed his cheerful demeanor. Although still a bit skeptical, it seemed to be the only possibility, so she stood up again to pour Ye Xiao a cup of tea and even took an unopened tea package from the drawer.

"Immortal Lake Longjing?" Ye Xiao said, surprised by the name on the tea package, "You like tea? I didn't know that."

"I hate tea; I didn't buy this." Su Yun said as she poured the tea leaves and went to brew the tea for Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao stood up and went over to inspect the tea leaves. It was a canned Immortal Lake Longjing with the label indicating it was picked before the Bright Festival.

"Who bought this? It's authentic pre-festival Immortal Lake Longjing, at least 3,600 per pound," Ye Xiao said.

"What?" Su Yun said, surprised by Ye Xiao's information, "How can it be so expensive? I thought it was just ordinary tea leaves. Had I known, I wouldn't have accepted it."

"Someone bribing you?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"It was Principal Yao who sent it over, saying it was in recognition of my hard work. But I'm doing only normal work," Su Yun said helplessly, "It's all because of you. If not for you holding him sway, how could a principal give me respect?"

Ye Xiao realized that it was Yao Zhengming who sent the tea to Su Yun, evidently to win her favor.

As for why flattering Su Yun, Ye Xiao didn't understand. Was it to prevent her from speaking ill of him?

Ye Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "Forget it. I'll try this fancy stuff."

"You know tea tasting?" Su Yun said with a smile to Ye Xiao.

"Not at all."

"Then how did you know it's authentic pre-festival Longjing tea?" Su Yun asked with curiosity.

Ye Xiao pointed to the label on the tea can, where the words 'Authentic Pre-Festival Immortal Lake Longjing Tea' were written.

"Just that?" Su Yun looked and said with a bitter smile, "If that's the case, then I know tea too. Anyway, let's get back to the serious matter, did Lu Lu really get accepted by Cold Moon Sect?"

"Yeah, why? Are you interested too?" Ye Xiao said, "Perhaps Lu Lu can sponsor you."

"That's too far-fetched. Even if Lu Lu spends a long time in the Cold Moon Sect, she probably couldn't sponsor anyone. A sect as large as Cold Moon Sect has very strict recruitment," Su Yun said.

Ye Xiao immediately said with a smile, "You're right, but Lu Lu is an exception."

"Why?" Su Yun asked.

"Because of Lu Lu's biological mother," Ye Xiao said with a laugh.

Ye Xiao's mention of this made Su Yun even more perplexed, as she said with a smile, "That seems unrelated. Lu Lu's biological mother is still unknown, right? Have they found her?"

"The Cold Moon Sect Master Han Qinghe is Lu Lu's biological mother," Ye Xiao said.

Su Yun was even more astonished upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. Looking at Ye Xiao, she said, "Ye Xiao, is this true?"

"It's true. This is also why Lu Lu was taken by Cold Moon Sect. Everyone thought they took Lu Lu to force me to Cold Moon Sect, but that's not the case. The person who came with Liuyun Bing was the Cold Moon Sect's Grand Elder Gu Yunmei," Ye Xiao said.

Upon hearing the name 'Gu Yunmei,' Su Yun immediately said, "It turns out to be Elder Gu from the three grand elders of Cold Moon Sect. I've heard of her but never thought she was the one we encountered that day. You mean Gu Yunmei recognized Lu Lu as the Sect Master's daughter?"

"Exactly!"

Su Yun thought for a moment and said again, "But I've heard the sect master of Cold Moon Sect is supposed to be a virgin. How could she have a daughter?"
