Chapter 623: He Saved Me

Chapter 623: He Saved Me

Under Ling Meng’s narration, Ling Yuan began to believe that Wu Ying Ge had turned the tide of the situation.

It seemed he truly possessed great abilities, as if he had the entire situation under control.

Infiltrating Helong Hall unnoticed, quietly observing the events, then seizing the moment to discover and dismantle the Demon Array before escaping safely—that was indeed impressive.

Mainly, he cared deeply for his daughter, repeatedly coming to her aid in times of danger, ensuring her safety. In contrast to the Chen brothers, who completely disregarded their disciples’ well-being, it was like heaven and earth apart.

Previously, he had favored the eldest son of the Chen family, believing it would be advantageous for Ling Meng to pair up with Chen Tian, benefiting both the Ling family and Ling Meng.

But now, he deemed that thought absurd. He realized the nature of Chen Tian; he was solely focused on eliminating his opponents, showing no concern for Ling Meng’s life or death.

He had always believed that if his daughter were to find a partner, it should be someone skilled from the Refining Demon Sect. Having survived because of the sect, he naturally hoped his son-in-law would be from there.

However, if the person mastered demonic techniques and was even more capable than Chen Tian, while also caring about Ling Meng, then perhaps he wouldn’t mind having such a person as a son-in-law.

Alas, it was shameful that he had been unable to save Ling Meng himself, and instead, a young man had done so. It was truly embarrassing.

Watching Ling Meng trust and support Wu Ying Ge, Ling Yuan sighed and said, “Ling Meng, regarding what I mentioned earlier about acknowledging your master, I support him. If he can become the son-in-law of the Ling family, I would naturally welcome him.”

“Thank you, Father.”

Ling Meng appeared unfazed, as if this had been within her expectations; it was only a matter of time.

That was too quick! The conditions for acceptance had only just appeared, and her master had already met them.

Indeed, although Chen Tian was a talented individual within the Refining Demon Sect, who everyone regarded as a genius and a future pillar of the Demon Sect, their vision was short-sighted. The true master of the demonic path was her master, Wu Ying Ge.

“However, your master still refuses to meet me, which is somewhat impolite. After all, I am also an elder.”

“He will come; it’s just a matter of time. You need not worry, Father. This is simply his way.”

“Ling Meng, you must not be partial to him. If he intends to be a son-in-law of the Ling family, he should respectfully greet the elders, at least to inform me about him.”

“A noble master of the demonic path has such a nature. Father, you must understand. Know that we often encounter humble and respectful individuals, which is nothing remarkable. A master like him, with such character, is extremely rare, and besides, he has the confidence. Why not?”

“Sigh…”

Ling Meng always spoke kindly of Wu Ying Ge, which left Ling Yuan feeling rather displeased, as if his standing within the family had diminished significantly.

…

As the practitioners withdrew, the tight defenses resulted in many injuries among them. Fortunately, the Refining Demon Sect also retreated and did not launch attacks on other cities.

Zhou Jianhu, although injured, gritted his teeth and endured the pain. After some treatment by the healer, he felt much better.

Now, there was Su Kexin, who was unconscious with injuries on the surface, but the wounds were healing quickly, and after being assessed by the healer, she was determined to be out of life-threatening danger.

She was just unconscious and had not yet awakened.

“It’s strange; normally, with the blasting that occurred, Chen Tian and Chen Tu could have been harmed, and Su Shimei should have been gravely injured as well. Yet, she’s merely unconscious.”

An inconsiderate practitioner murmured, unaware of the mysterious happenings that unfolded at that time.

“It’s best if she’s alright. If anything happened to her, I would feel truly guilty.”

Zhou Jianhu said as he sat at a table, drafting a letter to Xuanyun Sect to report the situation truthfully, then entrusted it to someone for delivery back to Xuanyun Sect for the Sect Master to review.

Su Kexin lay on the bed, her breathing and heartbeat normal, with no anomalies whatsoever.

Suddenly, Su Kexin opened her eyes, let out a small yawn, and stretched as if she had just woken from a beautiful dream, completely free from the dazed state of a battlefield casualty.

“Su Shimei is awake! How are you feeling?” Zhou Jianhu and the others rushed over in concern. Su Kexin blinked her sparkling eyes, realizing she was no longer on the battlefield.

Right, where’s my senior brother? Where is he?

She felt a twinge of disappointment upon not seeing Lin Nuo’s figure present.

“I’m fine. My senior brother should be here, right?” Su Kexin asked.

“What senior brother? Lin Nuo?”

“Yeah, he should’ve come. After all, he saved me. I remember it clearly.”

“He didn’t come. Are you sure the person you mentioned was really Lin Nuo?” Zhou Jianhu said, sounding skeptical.

“Of course! I wielded the Phoenix Twin Swords with my senior brother. Strictly speaking, we’re partners. I can definitely recognize him. It was my senior brother who made the move; otherwise, I would have died. Besides, there are others. I figure it’s also thanks to him that more people escaped disaster.”

As soon as Su Kexin woke up, she began talking about Lin Nuo, treating his affairs as more important than her own.

“If it was Lin Nuo, how did he block the demonic projectile?” Zhou Jianhu was utterly baffled, blocking a demonic projectile was as rare as hitting a basketball.

“That’s precisely why no one knows the intricacies of it. It highlights my senior brother’s brilliance! He’s truly remarkable.”

“Mm… he indeed is quite incredible.”

Lin Nuo’s existence had long breached everyone’s knowledge blind spots—suddenly becoming strong beyond explanation.

“How’s Shimei feeling?”

Just then, a dignified girl rushed in from outside, looking anxious as if delaying even for a second would lead to catastrophe.

Everyone turned their gaze, seeing Liu Shuqin arriving.

“Senior Sister, what brings you here?”

Seeing Liu Shuqin, Su Kexin felt excited.

“Kexin, I heard you were in trouble, so I hurried over. You fought with the Demon Disciples and got injured. How are you now? Let me check briefly.”

“I’m fine! My senior brother saved me and treated me, I’m doing great! You needn’t worry, Senior Sister.”

“Junior Brother? He saved you? But I haven’t heard anyone mention that Junior Brother appeared.”

“Oh, it’s like this: my senior brother doesn’t appear in the identity of a practitioner. He looks like a person from the underworld, but even if others fail to recognize him, I can. It was definitely him who saved me. He also defeated a Demon Disciple.”

Su Kexin spoke cheerily, filled with pride as if she were flaunting something.

“Mm…”

Liu Shuqin felt she had arrived too late, missing the chance to witness Lin Nuo’s dashing figure as he vanquished the Demon Disciples.

Her junior brother had recently saved Huan Tian City, and now he was facing off against Demon Disciples again—truly an extraordinary figure, a true model for their generation.

“Kexin, tell me what happened back then. How did Junior Brother defeat the Demon Disciples?”

“Ok~”

Talking about Lin Nuo was something they could go on about for ages.

…

Lin Nuo woke up to find himself in a bed.

He had dreamed that someone was pointing at his nose and scolding him, and he couldn’t even retort.
