**Chapter 45: Why Are You Butting In Again?!**
“Uh… Master, Master… I…”
Who would have thought that even Master would want her to get along with Yun Zhonghe? Mu Jixue twitched at the corner of her mouth, her face full of agony.
Not just Xiaoyu, even Master seemed enchanted by that guy. Ugh!
Mu Jixue always felt like something was being taken from her, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
In short, it was simply driving her crazy!
Master Youyue: “What’s wrong, my disciple? Do you have a question?”
“Not… um… I’ll remember Master’s teachings…”
Mu Jixue weakly replied.
But this time, she realized that Yun Zhonghe was helping Xiaoyu deal with Lin Feng. If it weren’t for Yun Zhonghe stepping in, who knows what trouble Xiaoyu would have faced? Her instincts told her that just now, Lin Feng was actually very dangerous.
But she never expected Yun Zhonghe to be so powerful, taking him down in one blow.
At this moment, Huang Aotian felt like she needed to think twice when facing Yun Zhonghe in the future.
“Considering she helped Xiaoyu, I can reluctantly take a step back.”
Plus, with Master’s command to befriend Yun Zhonghe, she had no choice but to nose-hold and admit it.
“There’s something fishy.”
Just as Mu Jixue was lost in her thoughts, Master Youyue sensed something was off.
…
At this moment, on the stage, Yun Zhonghe still maintained her elegant posture.
After a battle, her clothes didn’t even have a wrinkle.
The audience gasped, the sound of sharp breaths rising one after another. Even Lin Zhongyu’s delicate face was wide-eyed in disbelief as she covered her mouth in shock.
At this moment, Lin Zhongyu felt as if Yun Zhonghe’s figure was growing taller in her eyes, even blocking out the sun above.
“Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!”
Faintly, it seemed Lin Zhongyu could hear Mu Jixue’s voice, but she was so lost in Yun Zhonghe’s magnificent figure that she couldn’t snap out of it. Her eyes practically looked like they were going to drown in Yun Zhonghe’s body.
That gaze… it was about to stretch into something!
Maybe subconsciously, she thought Mu Jixue standing on the platform couldn’t possibly be beside her, so she totally ignored her.
But…
Mu Jixue really came over, accompanying Master Youyue to the arena.
She rushed over to check on her childhood friend’s situation, but Lin Zhongyu completely disregarded her.
Mu Jixue: (ó﹏ò｡)
Xiaoyu! Why are you staring at that guy?! Look at me! Look at me!
Meanwhile, Master Youyue was looking down at Lin Feng, who lay in a pool of bl**d.
Having been severely injured by Yun Zhonghe, he was unable to control the rampaging effects of the pill within him. The aura of the Demon Path was spilling out from his body.
Master Youyue’s brows furrowed slightly.
As a righteous cultivator, she loathed having anything to do with the dark arts, especially with someone using Demon Path items at their sect’s disciple selection ceremony. This was a provocation to the Xuantian Sect.
Master Youyue’s gaze turned cold as she looked at Lin Feng.
“Lin Family’s Lin Feng has already been defeated and lost his qualification! Moreover, Lin Feng is suspected of using Demon Path items. He shall never step into the Xuantian Sect again. Seize him and let the Immortal Alliance investigate!”
Master Youyue decisively took action, her immense pressure pinning down Lin Feng completely.
“What? Lin Feng actually used a Demon Path item?!”
“This… he must be out of his mind! The Immortal Alliance strictly prohibits cultivators from using Demon Path items. Once discovered, they are treated as Demon Cultivators. Is Lin Feng really that reckless?”
“The Lin Family… they’re doomed now.”
At that moment, lurking in the crowd, the Lin Family Grand Elder’s eyes shook violently, shocked that things had been exposed.
That pill, if used, wouldn’t have been discovered, but Lin Feng kept it to deal with Lin Zhongyu. Now he couldn’t control it and got exposed instead.
Now not only did he cut off his own future, but the whole Lin Family might be in trouble.
To make matters worse, the Grand Elder worried that if the Immortal Alliance investigated and found leads back to him, he’d be finished too!
“Grand Elder of the Lin Family, where do you think you’re going?”
Just as the Grand Elder tried to sneak away, Master Li’s cold voice echoed.
This time involving the Demon Path incident, the Immortal Alliance had a responsibility. Now the entire Lin Family would be labeled as suspected associates with the Demon Path, especially the Grand Elder’s faction—none would escape. Everyone must wait to be investigated.
As the Grand Elder attempted to flee, Master Li wouldn’t let him go and promptly captured him.
“Wait, this has nothing to do with me! I don’t know anything! I…”
“No need for more words!”
Master Li, a peak Yuan Ying cultivator, was the strongest enforcer in Cangzhou City. Even the entire Lin Family couldn’t shake her a bit.
Realizing he couldn’t escape, despair filled the Grand Elder’s eyes.
d*mn it! If only I had known… I should’ve just left the match alone!
The Grand Elder pounded his chest in regret.
The entire Lin Family was invited for tea by the Immortal Alliance, while the culprit Lin Feng was seriously injured, unable to say a word, his eyes full of unwillingness as he was taken by the Immortal Alliance.
Meanwhile, Lin Family head Lin Zhan was left in a daze after facing a fallout with his daughter, and now this situation had him completely boggled as he was led away by the Immortal Alliance.
Yun Zhonghe looked at all of this quietly, thinking: The Grand Elder’s faction of the Lin Family is finished. Lin Zhongyu’s father no longer has to worry about his position as head of the family, which gives Lin Zhongyu some peace of mind.
Yun Zhonghe understood that even though Lin Zhongyu had a fallout with her father, bl**d is thicker than water. And since Lin Zhongyu was inherently a good person, if the family’s hidden dangers weren’t resolved, she would worry about her father’s safety.
Only by doing this could she leave Lin Family in peace.
Yun Zhonghe had resolved Lin Zhongyu’s family troubles, repaying her debt of gratitude for raising her, leaving them even.
“I initially just wanted to help the heroine get rid of some trouble, but I didn’t expect it to create so many chain reactions. Looks like I just leveled up my popularity again.”
Although Yun Zhonghe maintained a nonchalant expression on the stage, inside she was secretly rejoicing.
Just then, it seemed another opportunity had arrived.
“Lin Zhongyu, you also need to come with us to the Immortal Alliance for investigation.”
Master Li approached Lin Zhongyu, since she was officially the Lin Family’s young lady, she surely had to be taken along for clarification.
Yun Zhonghe’s ears immediately perked up.
“Master, I… I’m still in the selection ceremony…”
Lin Zhongyu’s voice faltered; Master Li’s rank was far above her, and she felt immense pressure.
However, she didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity. If she let it go, who knows how long she’d have to wait to enter the Xuantian Sect again?
Moreover, she really wanted to join Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue in entering the Xuantian Sect.
“Master, Xiaoyu is…”
Seeing this, Mu Jixue quickly wanted to plead for her, but Master Youyue shot her a glance, reminding her not to meddle.
Mu Jixue was already part of the sect and could not interfere with matters of the Immortal Alliance; this was an agreement established between the Immortal Alliance and the various sects.
Mu Jixue bit her lip, feeling reluctant, but she couldn’t just stand by and watch her childhood friend being taken away.
“Master Li, my Yun Family is willing to guarantee Lin Zhongyu’s honor. Please let her finish the competition, and after the ceremony ends, I will personally take Lin Zhongyu to the Immortal Alliance for investigation. Is that okay?”
But just in that moment of hesitation, the Yellow-haired guy jumped in first.
Mu Jixue: ٩(//̀Д/́/)۶
So unfair! Why do you have to b*tt in again?!
