Lady Lin tried to dissuade them several times, but to no avail, and they ended up having a huge argument.
Right after the argument, Ji Shu and his two fellow disciples silently left the sect and then vanished without a trace.
Half a year later, someone claimed they had seen the three disciples helping a group of strong men and were taken away by soldiers.
The master became worried that his disciples had also been conscripted and decided to go out and search for them, but Lady Lin refused to allow it.
She insisted that she would search on her behalf.
However, after she had been gone for nearly half a year and returned, the sect was empty.
It was only later that she learned that during the time she was gone, the Eldest Prince had secretly ordered his men to forcefully take the master away under the pretense of inviting a descendant of the Mo Family to become a military advisor.
In fact, Lady Lin knew the master’s style well, and the old master inherently despised war, so how could he possibly agree to end war with war? She believed his departure must have been coerced.
Without the support of her fellow disciples, Lady Lin could only rely on herself to go to the Western Region to rescue her master.
It goes without saying that she encountered many difficulties during this journey.
Although the current Family Head of the Mo Family was brought to the Western Region, he faced neglect due to his refusal to help the Eldest Prince reorganize the troops.
When she and the master escaped, the troops of the Eldest Prince chased after them.
The Eldest Prince threatened that if they did not follow him, the only path left was death.
By then, they had already neared Witch Ancestor Mountain, and the Saintess of Witch Ancestor Mountain intervened to protect both the master and the disciple.
However, as a condition, they had to stay at Witch Ancestor Mountain and were not allowed to set foot in the outside world.
The reason the Eldest Prince did not let people go was that he was worried that the Mohist would serve others; now that Witch Ancestor Mountain had detained them and made them swear not to leave, it exactly met his wishes.
Thus, the Eldest Prince grudgingly agreed.
In this way, the master and disciple came to live in Witch Ancestor Mountain.
However, Lady Lin kept thinking about the three foolish brothers outside and thus, six months ago, Lady Lin resolutely left Witch Ancestor Mountain to search for her fellow disciples.
Unexpectedly, she received no news at all, but instead encountered many children along the way who had been displaced and were being trafficked by human traffickers.
Some were enslaved, and some were prostituted; Lady Lin could not stand it and bought a few, but she realized this was not a solution as the children, after changing several owners, were very expensive, and she hardly had any money and could not afford such expenses.
Instead of doing this, she might as well be one who supplies the goods.
But Lady Lin soon discovered that becoming a human trafficker was not something one could simply decide to do; one also had to pay taxes and register with The Government.
Lady Lin eventually managed to qualify as a human trafficker, embarking on a life of openly doing human trafficking business, while secretly searching for others.
Later, she encountered Bai Junjun and others, and then Lady Lin inadvertently came to the Thousand Miles Headquarters. After leaving the headquarters, she infiltrated it again.
She had not expected to find here the products of the Mo Family, which had been searched for for years, like the immense Heaven-reaching Tree.
At that moment, Lady Lin was extremely shocked. This was the very technique practiced by the second and third brothers, how could it appear here?
Could the brothers have already joined Thousand Miles?
Soon, Lady Lin sensed something was amiss. Although her brothers had a heart set on saving the world, they would not misuse the "Affairs of His Majesty," especially not for organizing espionage information; they would not do such a thing.
If it was not the brothers, then there was only one possibility: the "Affairs of His Majesty" had already fallen into the hands of this group.
She recalled that one of the brothers had once told her that the "Affairs of His Majesty" were hidden in the Underground Palace of the Dharma Flower Master.
She came here also thinking that her brothers would definitely come to retrieve it, and by waiting passively, she could encounter them.
She never thought that she would see the secret techniques of their sect revealed to the world before meeting her brothers.
It goes without saying how shocked Lady Lin was.
