Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Pang Tong retracted his head and closed the window with a solemn expression. “Grandpa, Dad, why aren’t you back yet after such a big thing happened? Damn it, could it be that you’ve really been plotted against like idiots?”
It was a quiet room with light brown wood patterns. The tables, chairs, and benches were all made of wood. There was even a painting of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall, making it look warm and comfortable.
Pang Tong heaved a sigh of relief and sat at the table. He poured himself a cup of tea and a hint of bitterness flashed across his eyes. “Fortunately, I wasn’t poisoned and reacted quickly. I ran out in advance. Otherwise, Dragon Gate Pavilion would have been completely wiped out…”
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the door was kicked open!
Pang Tong jumped up and ran towards the window.
Lin Yan had long expected Pang Tong to be very cunning. The moment he entered, he quickly rushed in and grabbed the back of Pang Tong’s collar.
Pang Tong jumped in midair and his fingers touched the wooden window. However, he was pulled back by Lin Yan. He rolled on the ground and sat on the wall.
“F*ck! You can even find me! I’ll fight you to the death!”
Pang Tong shouted, jumped up, and rushed towards Lin Yan.
Lin Yan frowned slightly and immediately reacted. He had probably made a big move just now and exposed a little of his armor, causing him to misunderstand.
He immediately turned around and grabbed Pang Tong’s fist. He reached out and grabbed him like he was holding a chick. Then, he gently threw it back to the ground.
“F*ck, are you looking down on me? I’ll fight you…”
Pang Yong’s face was ferocious.
Suddenly, Xie Lingyan said speechlessly, “Pang Tong!”
Her voice was gentle, like the spring breeze turning into rain.
In Pang Tong’s ears, it was as if there was a huge magic power that instantly froze him on the spot.
Pang Tong suddenly turned around, his entire face filled with disbelief and excitement. “M-Miss Lingyan?”
Xie Lingyan was silent on the spot. Lin Yan could clearly feel that the usually gentle Xie Lingyan was actually emitting a few hints of anger.
She lifted her black cloak. “It’s me. Pang Tong, I have something to ask you…”
“It’s really you!”
Pang Tong’s eyes lit up. From Lin Yan’s point of view, they were like two shining light bulbs.
“Pang Tong, I have something on…”
“Previously, you didn’t let me go to Qinghong Martial Arts School to look for you, so I didn’t dare to go. Finally, I finally see you again today…”
Pang Tong did not seem to hear her at all. He continued talking to himself, and his expression suddenly collapsed. “Miss Xie, could it be that Qinghong Martial Arts School attacked Dragon Gate Pavilion? Why? That shouldn’t be the case!”
Xie Lingyan was speechless. “Let me talk. I’ll ask you…”
However, Pang Tong did not give Xie Lingyan a chance to speak at all. It was as if he had made a million determinations. He continued to express his loyalty, “Dragon Gate Pavilion is my home and their kindness is as heavy as a mountain. However, if Miss Xie wants to deal with Dragon Gate Pavilion, I can only reluctantly stand on your side…”
Xie Lingyan:”…”
BANG!
Lin Yan couldn’t stand it anymore. He kicked Pang Tong’s butt and threw him to the ground. Then, he took two to three steps forward and stepped on his back, preventing him from looking up at Xie Lingyan. He said anxiously, “Ask!” Xie Lingyan heaved a sigh of relief. “Pang Tong! We’re preparing to save them! Let me ask you, what’s the situation in Dragon Gate Pavilion?!”
Pang Tong trembled slightly. “Miss Lingyan, aren’t you…”
Pa!
Lin Yan kicked Pang Tong’s butt again, making him cry out in pain.
After a few quick repairs, Pang Tong finally confessed everything he knew.
When the two of them heard that, Xie Lingyan concluded, “So, the Dragon Gate Pavilion hasn’t completely fallen?
“Apart from a portion of the poisoned disciples who are imprisoned on the martial arts arena, there are also a portion of unpoisoned disciples, including the guest master, Du Fushan. Under Zang Wei’s lead, they are guarding the training courtyard?”
Pang Tong held his cheek and stared at Lin Yan with hostility as he sized him up. He said, “That’s right. Du Fushan was poisoned, but Eldest Senior Brother wasn’t poisoned. He was only injured.
“He seems to be old friends with the enemy’s leader. He bought time and gathered everyone in the Instruction Yard.
“But I came out too quickly and didn’t hear what happened.”
Xie Lingyan thought of Lin Yan’s question. “What about the families in the Instruction Yard?”
“They were in the training courtyard from the beginning. They’re probably safe.”
‘Probably?’
Lin Yan was anxious and couldn’t care less about the possibility of exposing his identity. He said in a hoarse voice, “Where’s Chen Yuan?”
“You know Senior Sister Chen?”
Pang Tong did not seem to recognize his voice.
“I saw Senior Sister Chen. She had also entered the Instruction Yard and brought two little girls with her. One of them is the sister of an instructor in our school.”
The moment he heard the news, Lin Yan’s eyes almost welled up. He instantly relaxed and tried his best to maintain his composure.
It was good that she entered the Instruction Yard! It was good that she was safe!
He had once asked Chen Yuan to take care of Xiaozhi, but he did not expect Senior Sister Chen to really remember it!
Since Xiaozhi was in the Instruction Yard, what he had to do was simple!
Lin Yan nodded at Xie Lingyan, and she asked, “How many enemies are there?”
“A lot! At least 50 people!”
“Were Dragon Gate Pavilion attacked by many people because there are many people? However, Zang Wei guarding Instruction Yard means that the other party is only at the Tough Realm. There’s also Du Fushan…”
Xie Lingyan and Lin Yan looked at each other. As long as they detoxified Du Fushan, together with Zang Wei and Xie Lingyan, it was enough to deal with all the enemies!
Since Xiaozhi was in the Instruction Yard, he had to fight them head-on.
Lin Yan exhaled and took out the bottle of antidote for the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder. He pointed at Pang Tong.
Xie Lingyan instantly understood. “Pang Tong, the situation of Dragon Gate Pavilion is critical now. You have to help us now and come with us. Whether we can save the disciples of Dragon Gate Pavilion depends on you!”
Pang Tong immediately patted his chest. “Lingyan, you’re treating me like an outsider. You’re not related to Dragon Gate Pavilion and can even take risks for us. How can I stay out of it? I’ll definitely do my best!”
Xie Lingyan resisted the urge to slap him.
The three of them went downstairs carefully and circled around. Following Pang Tong’s instructions, they chose a relatively hidden outer wall.
Lin Yan pointed at Pang Tong and said in a low voice, “You first!”
Pang Tong’s face was filled with vigilance as he approached Xie Lingyan. “Lingyan, who is this guy? It’s not your Junior Brother Song, right?
“You have to be careful of such an unknown person. Who knows what he’s up to… Hey, don’t hit me, don’t hit me. I’ll go first!”
She watched as Pang Tong stuck out his fat butt and climbed over the outer wall.
After a while, there was a knock. Xie Lingyan nodded at Lin Yan and prepared to climb.
Lin Yan suddenly whispered, “Miss Xie, thank you.”
“What?”
Lin Yan said solemnly, “Pang Tong is right. You’re not related to Dragon Gate Pavilion. I’m very grateful that you’re taking this risk.”
Xie Lingyan smiled sweetly, and a beautiful expression appeared on her face. It was as if a divine light had descended from the sky, making Lin Yan’s heart palpitate slightly. “The people of the martial world should distinguish between gratitude and grudges. I’m just repaying you for saving my life.”
The two of them climbed over the wall and landed behind the kitchen. It was indeed very hidden.
Pang Tong stared intently at Lin Yan. “What took you so long? What were the two of you talking about just now?!”
Lin Yan kicked him impatiently, scaring Pang Tong so much that he took a step back.
Then, he took out the antidote for the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder and gestured for Pang Tong to take it.
“This is…”
Xie Lingyan explained at the right time, “This is the antidote for the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder. What everyone is poisoned with is called the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder.
“My Qinghong Martial Arts School was also in trouble. With this antidote, we barely escaped.”
“What!”
Pang Tong’s expression changed instantly. He originally only felt that with Xie Lingyan’s strength, she might be able to save Dragon Gate Pavilion, but the chance was very slim.
However, as soon as the antidote appeared, his expression immediately became much more serious as he solemnly took the antidote.
Xie Lingyan said, “This bottle is only enough for three people, so it has to be used on the right targets.
“Go and hide near the Instruction Yard. We’ll fight for an opportunity for you to enter the Instruction Yard and detoxify Du Fushan and the others!”
Pang Tong subconsciously tightened his grip on the antidote in his hand. His eyes suddenly turned red as he said slowly, “That’s great, that’s really great… Miss Lingyan, don’t worry. The medicine won’t be lost until I die!”
Xie Lingyan was slightly surprised. As if she had gotten to know him again, she sized up Pang Tong.
Pang Tong bowed solemnly and turned to disappear.
Lin Yan watched Pang Tong leave and slowly exhaled. “This person is smart, cunning, and good at pretending to be crazy. However, such a person is reliable.”
Xie Lingyan nodded. “What should we do next?”
Lin Yan was silent. If he had a choice, he really didn’t want to fight such a terrifying force head-on.
But Xiaozhi was in the Dragon Gate Pavilion, in the Instruction Yard!
Xiaozhi was too young and fragile. In such a chaotic situation, if she was not careful, Xiaozhi would die on the spot!
Therefore, there was no need to think about the future. He had to focus on saving Xiaozhi first!
Lin Yan squatted down, took out a stone, and gently crushed it. He picked a pointy piece and simply carved the relative positions of the Instruction Yard and the martial arts arena on the ground.
“Next, let’s fight!
“Two points. Instruction Yard and the martial arts arena.
“The two of them are about a thousand feet apart. Fortunately, there’s a building in the middle to block them. They can’t see each other, but they can hear each other.
“I reckon that other than the combat strength of a Tough Realm commander, the other party will also have those strange people we saw in Tiger Camp. Coupled with the fact that there are many of them, it won’t be easy to fight them.
“Therefore, for the sake of caution, we can’t split up. We have to work together and fight the weak with the strong. We have to eliminate as many of the other party’s living forces as possible.”
Lin Yan pointed at the martial arts arena.
“Pick on the weak.. Let’s attack the martial arts arena first!”
