During the process of packing their belongings, Ji Lexue accidentally came across a note left by Xuan Yi.
The content written on it was simple: if the Yue family abandoned them and they had nowhere to go, they could find her at a certain place.
When Ji Lexue saw this note, she was stunned. She never expected Xuan Yi to leave such a note for her. Did it mean that Xuan Yi had exposed her own whereabouts?
For a moment, Ji Lexue contemplated whether she should give the note to Yue Siqing. However, in the end, she decided to keep the note to herself.
She didn't know the exact nature of the grudge between Xuan Yi and the Yue family, but based on her understanding of Xuan Yi, she knew that Xuan Yi wasn't someone who lacked discernment.
In the past, when she deliberately provoked Xuan Yi, Xuan Yi didn't take her life. On the contrary, she had even helped her in a big way.
She believed that Xuan Yi's antagonism towards the Yue family must have been fueled by some deep harm inflicted upon her by them.
This could be inferred from Xuan Yi's pursuit of revenge.
Without a cause, there would be no effect. Ultimately, no one could clearly determine who was right or wrong in this matter, and as an outsider, she couldn't make any definitive judgments.
However, the fact that Xuan Yi left this note for her indicated a high level of trust in her.
Just based on this, she couldn't betray the trust Xuan Yi had placed in her.
After all, she held no value for deception in Xuan Yi's eyes. Xuan Yi probably just wanted to give her a choice.
After giving it some thought, Ji Lexue remained steadfast in her decision.
Although the Yue family was currently in dire straits, as Yue Siqing's direct disciple, it had been her goal for a long time, and she couldn't easily give up on it.
However, as Ji Lexue finished packing her belongings and stood with the group of physicians and poison masters, waiting for Yue Siqing to come back and lead them, she realized that Yue Siqing hadn't returned.
"I just saw the Patriarch and Master Yue Siqing leave Yue Tian City together. It seems they had no intention of taking us with them."
At that moment, a physician rushed back, his face revealing a sense of panic, and he informed them about what he had witnessed.
Upon hearing this, Ji Lexue and the others were taken aback. They had thought that after joining the Yue family, they would become part of the family. They never expected that the Yue family would abandon them at a time like this.
"Is what you said true? They really left without us? Could it be that they forgot about us?"
"Don't be naive! If they truly cared about us, how could they forget about such a large group of people? Besides, Ji Lexue is the personal disciple of Master Siqing. There's no way he would forget her. If he hasn't come back yet, it means he wants to leave us behind."
The hearts of the group sank. Now that the entire Yue family had become a source of infection, they had hoped to leave together.
But now that they had been abandoned, where could they go?
"I heard some news earlier that the Yue family is planning to head to the Lan family as a group. However, they only intend to take the Yue family's descendants with them. We, as outsiders, won't have a chance to leave with them. In my opinion, we should leave as soon as possible. If we continue to stay here, it won't be long before we get infected."
"But I traveled all the way here, solely wanting to become Master's disciple. Now, you're telling me to go back? It's too embarrassing!"
