Yun Lintian didn’t feel anything. He replied immediately. “I really don’t have other intentions. As I told Senior before, I just arrived here not long ago and happened to encounter Brother Fan. When I discovered he was human, I thought he could definitely provide me with information about this continent. Even if he couldn’t, there must be someone in this village that could do it.”
He paused for a moment and continued. “Senior possesses the peak strength, so I assume that Senior must know a lot of things. That’s why I decided to help Senior.”
From his experience, Guchang could tell that Yun Lintian didn’t lie to him. He picked the bottle up and took a sip of the Profound Spirit Liquid inside. Instantly, a warm sensation spread to every corner of his body, and he could feel a portion of the Life Eroding poison gradually dissipating.
On the side, Fan saw everything clearly. He suddenly knelt on one knee beside Yun Lintian and said solemnly. “Thank you, Senior Mu. You’re my benefactor. I have nothing to repay you except for my life.”
Yun Lintian looked at Fan and said. “There’s no need to do this. Helping you and Senior Guchang is just a matter of raising a hand. Besides, I’m not doing it for free. This can be said it’s a deal between us.”
Seeing Fan was insisting on kneeling, Yun Lintian said sternly. “It’s said that there’s gold underneath the knee caps of a man. You should only kneel to the heavens, the earth, and your parents!”
Guchang’s eyes flashed with a brilliant light upon hearing this. He secretly nodded his head in agreement. However, when he turned to look at his son, he saw the latter picking the small axe up and trying to slash on his own knee. He couldn’t help asking. “What are you doing?”
Fan stopped his movement and turned to his father. “Didn’t Senior Mu just say there’s gold underneath the knee caps of a man? I want to take it out and sell it.”
Guchang and Yun Lintian were rendered speechless. They glanced at each other and did not know what to say.
Guchang patted his forehead and said helplessly. “It’s my fault. I didn’t give him a proper education.” 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“It’s okay. I understand, Senior. Raising a child is not easy.” Yun Lintian expressed his sympathy.
“”???” Fan looked at them in confusion. What are they talking about?

“Master, you have to hold on. I’ll go find Principal Tian now.” On the Starry Mountain, Cai Xuwen was anxious as she looked at her master, Hong Wuya, who was lying weakly on the bed. His entire body was green, more severe than the last time he was inflicted with the Deep Sea Poison. Anyone could see he was on the verge of dying with a glance.
“No need.” Hong Wuya opened his mouth with difficulty. He had just returned from the mission Han Bingling gave him. It turned out he had been deceived all this time. The Northern Sea Lord’s true strength was far stronger than imagined. It seemed the hope of avenging his wife was ended here.
“But…” Cai Xuwen was already in tears. She couldn’t bring herself to watch her master dying like this. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the ability to save him.
“Are you going to rebel?” Hong Wuya raised his voice, making Cai Xuwen choke in tears.
Looking at his beloved disciple’s pitiful appearance, Hong Wuya sighed and lowered his tone. “Contact Palace Master Han. I have something important to tell her… Cough! Cough!” He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood as he finished his sentence. His face was grey as ashes, as though he could pass away at any moment.
“Master!” Cai Xuwen hurriedly came forward and used her profound energy to soothe Hong Wuya’s injuries.
Hong Wuya waved his hand. “Go.”
Cai Xuwen reluctantly retracted her hand and turned to look at Lan Shuiying, Bai Qingyi, Qin Yuyan, and Qin Yiran. “I’ll leave master to you.”
Everyone nodded their head heavily as they watched Cai Xuwen leaving.
Hong Wuya glanced at them and asked. “Where is that Yang brat?”
Lan Shuiying, Bai Qingyi, and Qin Yuyan glanced at each other and did not know what to say. Meanwhile, Qin Yiran answered directly. “He left the academy after conquering the Flame Devil Bridge. No one knows his whereabouts.”
After the “death” of Yun Lintian, Yang Chen had become an entirely different person from the past. He isolated himself from everyone and started practicing madly. Two days ago, he had challenged the Flame Devil Bride that almost took his life back then and somehow managed to clear it in the end, causing the Flame Devil Bridge training ground to disappear. This event alarmed every personnel in the academy.
Principal Tian and others had tried to find a clue from Yang Chen, but he firmly refused to say anything and secretly left the academy. Since then, he disappeared entirely, as though he had never appeared in the first place. Even his sister, Yang Mengli, also had no way to contact him.
Hong Wuya frowned slightly but soon relaxed. Every cub would eventually grow and leave the nest one day. Although his time with Yang Chen was short, Hong Wuya had genuinely regarded Yang Chen as his disciple. He believed that this young man would stand on the top one day, looking down at the whole world.
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian’s figure emerged in Hong Wuya’s mind. He couldn’t help letting out a sigh in pity. He didn’t expect many things had happened during his absence.
“Master!” At this moment, Bai Yun quickly rushed into the room. After hearing the news, he constantly ran nonstop to this place.
He was shocked and soon transformed into anxiety when he saw Hong Wuya’s miserable appearance. He couldn’t believe his own eyes that the old man in front of him was his master.
Hong Wuya glanced at Bai Yun and snorted in dissatisfaction. “What are you shouting for?”
Bai Yun walked tremblingly to Hong Wuya’s side and knelt down. “Master…” His eyes were reddened, on the verge of crying.
Hong Wuya glared at him. “Didn’t I tell you before? How could a man cry easily? Are you learning from your younger brother?”
Bai Yun choked slightly and wiped the tears out of his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, his expression changed drastically, and all of his power was released at once.
Boom!
