Chapter 55: Lin Yan, the Mouth of Beautiful Language
Outside the Secret Realm.
This time, besides the Heavenly Sword Sect, several other sects from the Northern Region came to explore. After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect was a massive force in the North, but even they couldn’t do the one-man show of all shows.
Apart from the Heavenly Sword Sect, there were three other sects whose strength was just a tad weaker — the Spirit Sealing Sect, which liked playing with fire (literally), the Red Peak Sect, which believed in the survival of the fittest (and the weak getting stomped on), and the Refining God Sect, which was all about that weak-and-strong.
As for the Demon Path, after being heavily beaten by Liu Meng (the girl with the fiery personality), they’d basically merged into the blurred line of nonexistence — no one there to challenge these four big shots.
Also, Bai Feng saw a few mysterious little sects he didn’t recognize. After asking around, he learned these tiny outfits happened to be close to the Secret Realm, so the big sects, after some discussion, generously gave them a few spots.
‘This plot… it’s practically tailor-made for the Child of Destiny.’
Bai Feng thought inwardly, nodding in amusement. Looks like he’d keep a close eye on these little sects.
“Bro Bai, want to team up inside the Realm later?” Lin Yan suddenly sidled over. “Ruo and I already promised each other, with our strength, exploring this secret realm shouldn’t be a problem.”
Honestly, Bai Feng was feeling a tad tempted. After all, this was the blessing of the Child of Destiny!
But—Destiny’s got its dangers. Besides luck, there’s risk—he couldn’t quite decide whether risking solo was crazier, or sticking with the lucky kid was dangerous.
“Wait until we go in,” Bai Feng said cautiously. “These secret realms usually teleport randomly. If something happens, I definitely won’t be foolish enough to go alone.”
“Good point.” Lin Yan nodded. “Once inside, Bro Bai, be careful. I heard the Spirit Sealing Sect folks might have a grudge against you, besides, a certain Ye Tang still seems to have a thing for not giving up on you.”
(Ye Tang: Just say my name already, will ya?)
“Spirit Sealing Sect? Got it.” Bai Feng mulled it over. No wonder he kept feeling those weird vibes from some people staring at him.
Is it because of his reputation? Or because of his master Liu Meng?
Mostly, he wasn’t too worried about arrays and formations—those he could handle.
“Thanks for the warning, Lin brother,” Bai Feng nodded gratefully. “But you also need to watch your back. Looks like you’re the only one here who’s completed the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
Lin Yan chuckled, waving dismissively. “Relax. I’ve got preparations!”
Bai Feng nodded, thinking: Child of Destiny, after all. Even if he died, fate might just not let him go that easily.
“Oh yeah, what about Brother Luo?”
“He’s chatting with the folks from Purple Cloud Peak,” Lin Yan pointed casually. “Luo’s been whining that they’ve been bothering him lately.”
Bai Feng followed Lin Yan’s gesture and saw Luo Chen’s second sister and senior sister blocking him, seemingly saying something.
But now, the roles had reversed — Luo Chen looked annoyed, while the senior sister was lowering her voice, pleading.
“Bro Lin, wanna get closer and check out the gossip?”
Bai Feng suddenly grinned with gossip in his eyes. Love this kind of stuff! Nothing beats watching some rich drama unfold.
Lin Yan hesitated. “Uh… maybe not?”
“Why not? Maybe Luo is just waiting for us to come rescue him!” Bai Feng said cheerfully, putting a hand on Lin Yan’s shoulder and hauling him closer to Luo Chen.
He took a few steps and noticed Su Lan Qian was also following. Immediately, he raised a hand to stop her. “Wait here for a moment. I’ll be back soon.”
“Oh…”
Su Lan Qian nodded obediently, standing still.
Next to them, Lin Yan’s face was weird — he seemed to remember something. Didn’t Bai Feng always act proud and overbearing? What’d he do to get her so obedient?
……
“Is it over already?”
Bai Feng clicked his tongue. As expected from a sect disciple—still calm even when dealing with unreasonable people.
“Didn’t think Luo brother had such an experience,” Bai Feng said, eyebrows raised.
“Huh? Don’t you know?” Bai Feng suddenly looked at Lin Yan, “You call each other brothers but it feels like you barely know anything about him?”
Lin Yan looked curious. “Know what?”
And so, Bai Feng shared everything he knew about Luo Chen’s recent troubles.
“Man, what kind of dog-sh*t sister and junior sister are they? Why didn’t Luo brother slap them? They’ve got nerve coming to bother him!”
Lin Yan’s mouth started spewing some unflattering words.
“What are you guys doing back there?”
A voice from behind interrupted them—just as Lin Yan’s spicy tongue was about to go full throttle. He froze, face awkward. Bai Feng turned around and saw Luo Chen approaching.
“We’re just here to… do business,” Lin Yan mumbled with a guilty grin.
Luo Chen obviously didn’t buy that lame excuse. Sighing, he said, “Sorry, folks, you’ve seen nothing…”
“Nothing at all,” Lin Yan stood abruptly, suddenly placing a hand on Luo Chen’s shoulder. “Luo brother, this thing can’t just be let go. If you’re unwilling, let me handle it.”
“Uh…”
“Don’t worry. I’m not here to wreck them or anything. Just a little reality check. Sometimes, society needs to hit harder, that’s good for them!”
Watching the two start chatting casually, Bai Feng silently mourned the Purple Cloud Peak by the tiniest fraction—0.01 seconds.
Getting two Child of Destiny targets to focus on you? Truly—serves you right!
