216: Chapter 216 Returning to One's Roots

Qin Yun watched the scene before him. For some reason, he really wanted to laugh, but at this moment, he absolutely had to hold it in. Otherwise, he would be mobbed by the crowd—and he meant truly mobbed.

Although Xuan Zhen had been confined to a Mental Asylum for life, never to be released, from the perspective of Xiao Shang and the others, their Master had been killed by that bastard Lin Fan.

After the trial ended, the five of them personally prepared Xuan Zhen's remains, cremated them, and placed them in an urn. Each of them had red-rimmed eyes.

Although they had all resented Xuan Zhen's partiality toward Lin Fan back then, and how he had disregarded their feelings as well as those of their Senior Sister, he was still their Master, no matter what!

If they had known Lin Fan would cause his death, they should have killed Lin Fan long ago. But it was too late for regrets now.

Sorrow was written all over Xiao Shang's face. Qin Yun appeared beside the five women and comforted them softly.

"Mu Yan, Ruxin, Yingxue, Youxue, Xiao Shang, don't be sad anymore. Your Master's spirit in heaven surely wouldn't want to see you like this."

"Brother, I... I don't have a Master anymore. Sob! I don't have a Master..."

Qin Yushang immediately threw herself onto Qin Yun, weeping. Her tears soaked his clothes. The others also had red-rimmed eyes; though they were grieving, they all held back their tears.

Qin Yun gently patted Qin Yushang's head and said, "You've done well. You've avenged him. I'm sure his spirit in heaven will be comforted."

Then, he looked at the others and said tenderly, "If you want to cry, just let it out. My shoulder will always be your harbor."

Hearing this, the most innocent one, Shen Yingxue, could no longer suppress her inner grief and threw herself into Qin Yun's arms, weeping silently.

Looking at the two women in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh softly. Compared to their sentimentality, the other three were much more restrained.

However, Qin Yun also knew they were only acting tough on the surface. In reality, they still couldn't accept this truth. He would have to comfort them later.

After all, they were his women; he had to pamper them.

To be honest, Qin Yun truly admired Great Master Xuan Zhen sometimes. He had clearly recruited his disciples based on their looks and Luck, and his motives were far from pure, yet he had actually managed to make all his disciples feel like they were family.

At the very least, he was good at putting on a front. But perhaps they would never imagine that the real Great Master Xuan Zhen was currently being tortured in a Mental Asylum!

Forget it, let him leave a good impression in their minds. Since he was already in such a miserable state, a good reputation didn't hurt.

Besides, from the moment he decided to perform Possession on Lin Fan, he was no longer Xuan Zhen, but Lin Fan through and through.

After all, in the original work, he appeared using Lin Fan's identity and Lin Fan's appearance.

Lin Fan looked at Xuan Zhen's ashes and said softly, "What do you plan to do next?"

"We've decided to return to Xuanzhen Mountain to give Master a proper burial so he can rest in peace. We might stay there for a while, so..."

Su Muyan said softly, and Lin Fan continued, "I'll go with you."

"No, Qin Yun, you don't have to do that. We're just going there to remember him. Don't worry, we won't stay too long. After all, staying too long would only make us feel worse. Although he was partial to Lin Fan and was ultimately plotted against by him, in the end, all my Martial Arts were taught by him. He had no children, so I hope we, as his disciples, can show him this last bit of filial piety."

Seeing this, Qin Yun sighed softly. "Alright then. Come back soon; I'll be waiting for you."

Su Muyan smiled, but it was a fragile, broken smile. "Thank you, Qin Yun. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to avenge Master. Falling leaves return to their roots; let Master sleep on his favorite Xuanzhen Mountain."
